Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of landscape planting technology, and specifically relates to a plant planting device. Background Technology

[0002] In landscaping, various green plants are often planted in specific areas. When cultivating seedlings, seedling bags or cups are commonly used. These bags are generally very useful during the seedling stage, providing the necessary nutrients and promoting plant growth. However, as the seedlings grow, the bags gradually restrict root growth, hindering growth and affecting plant health. Therefore, before transplanting seedlings into new soil, the seedling bags or cups need to be removed to expose the roots and improve survival rates. Currently, removing seedling bags or cups is mostly done manually, which is inefficient and labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Based on the technical needs of production practice in the drawdown zone mentioned above, this invention provides a plant planting device to solve the problem that the removal of seedling bags or seedling cups is mostly done manually, which is inefficient and labor-intensive.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A plant planting device includes a first transfer frame and a second transfer frame. A placement platform is provided below the first transfer frame. A bag-removing mechanism is placed between the first and second transfer frames. The bag-removing mechanism includes a base and two movable frames opposite to each other on the base. A first connecting rod passes through the movable frames, and a second connecting rod is mounted on the first connecting rod. The base has two sliding grooves, each containing two movable frames. Each movable frame has a connecting groove and a slider. A locking screw is mounted on each movable frame. One end of the slider is located in the connecting groove. A first support platform and a second support platform are respectively installed on the movable frame. U-shaped grooves are staggered on both the first and second support platforms. The movable frame is equipped with a mounting plate and a hanging rod. Multiple mounting columns are slidably installed on the mounting plate and the hanging rod. The spacing between adjacent mounting columns is adjustable. The mounting columns located on the two movable frames are respectively equipped with a bag-breaking knife and a bag-removing device. The bag-removing device includes a fixed block and a hook block that are hinged to each other. An arc-shaped stepped groove with the intersection point as the center is opened on the fixed block. An arc-shaped connecting rod is installed on the hook block. A limit block and a spring frame are installed on the arc-shaped connecting rod. A tension spring is installed between the hook block and the spring frame.

[0006] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention further improves upon the following:

[0007] Furthermore, the mounting column is provided with a hanging groove, a locking groove, and a reserved groove. The hanging groove corresponds to the hanging rod, the locking groove corresponds to the mounting plate, and a connecting hole is provided between the reserved groove and the locking groove. A limiting boss is installed in the reserved groove, and a U-shaped locking block passes through the connecting hole. The limiting boss is located inside the U-shaped locking block, and the U-shaped locking block is covered with a rubber layer. The mounting column is easy to install. The mounting column is locked onto the hanging rod and then onto the mounting plate to complete the installation. Finally, the U-shaped locking block is lowered to lock the mounting plate and fix the mounting column in place. This allows for easy addition or removal of the number of mounting columns and easy adjustment of the spacing between the mounting columns to accommodate seedling bags of different sizes.

[0008] Furthermore, the blade of the bag-breaking knife is angled, and a hook is provided at the bottom of the blade. This allows the bag-breaking knife to more easily pierce the seedling bag when it rises.

[0009] Furthermore, each of the mounting columns is equipped with a traction hook. By setting the traction hook, a round rod can be inserted into the traction hook when adjusting the spacing of the mounting columns, so that the opposing mounting columns on the two movable frames can be moved synchronously, making the adjustment more convenient.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the first and second support platforms is equipped with a lever block on the U-shaped groove, and the lever block has a triangular cross-section. When the seedling with soil is pushed along the first and second support platforms, the contact between the lever block and the bottom soil can better prevent the bottom soil from falling off.

[0011] Furthermore, both the first and second transfer frames include a U-shaped frame. Each end of the U-shaped frame has a mounting groove, and a frame plate is installed within each mounting groove. Each frame plate has a limiting plate and a limiting post. The U-shaped frame also has a limiting groove matching the limiting post, and a handle groove is provided on the frame plate. When the frame plate is in contact with the ground, the frame can be closed for easy handling; when the frame plate is suspended in the air, the frame can be opened to facilitate the removal of the seedling.

[0012] Furthermore, the second transfer frame is equipped with a hanging plate, on which a connecting groove is formed. Each movable frame is fitted with a hanging bracket, and the hanging bracket is equipped with a connecting block that matches the connecting groove. One end of the second transfer frame can be hung on the hanging plate to suspend the frame and open it, while the other end can be placed on the ground to close one end of the frame, allowing the seedlings with soil attached inside the bag-removing mechanism to be directly pushed into the second transfer frame.

[0013] Furthermore, a recycling frame is provided below the base, and a positioning frame matching the recycling frame is provided at the bottom of the base. A connecting groove is opened on the base, and rollers are installed at both ends of the recycling frame. Fallen seedling bags enter the recycling frame for collection, while the bag-removing mechanism is movable, which can better cooperate with the first transfer frame and the second transfer frame.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0015] 1. By placing the seedlings with seedling bags on one side of the bag-removing mechanism using the first transfer frame, the seedlings are pushed side by side into the bag-removing mechanism. The movable frame is pulled up and the bag-breaking knife cuts open one side of the seedling bag. The movable frame is lowered and the bag-removing device pulls the seedling bag down to detach it and expose the seedling soil. The seedling bag is easy to separate, which helps to reduce the labor intensity of workers and improve work efficiency.

[0016] 2. Push the seedlings with exposed soil from the first and second support platforms into the second transfer frame. Use the U-shaped groove to make them contact the bottom of the soil covering the seedlings, causing the bottom soil to fall off and exposing the roots, making it easier to plant the seedlings.

[0017] 3. The spacing between the movable frames and the spacing between adjacent mounting columns are adjustable, making the bag-removing mechanism suitable for use with seedling bags of different sizes. Attached Figure Description

When the frame plate 13 is suspended, the frame 11 can be opened to facilitate the removal of seedlings.

[0032] like Figures 4-6As shown, a bag-removing mechanism 3 is placed between the first transfer frame 1 and the second transfer frame 2. The bag-removing mechanism 3 includes a base 31 and two movable frames 33 arranged opposite to each other on the base 31. A first connecting rod 341 passes through the movable frame 33, and a second connecting rod 342 is installed on the first connecting rod 341. The movable frame 33 can slide on the first connecting rod 341. By pulling the second connecting rod 342, the movable frame 33 can be driven to rise and fall. The base 31 is provided with two sliding grooves 32, and two movable frames 35 are installed in each sliding groove 32. Each movable frame 35 has a connecting groove 352. A slider 331 is provided on the movable frame 35, and a locking screw 353 is installed on the movable frame 35. One end of the slider 331 is located in the connecting groove 352. The movable frame 33 can rise and fall along the movable frame 35. At the same time, when the movable frame 35 moves, it can drive the movable frame 33 to move synchronously. Two movable frames 35 are respectively equipped with a first support platform 36 and a second support platform 37. Due to the need to support seedlings, U-shaped grooves 361 are staggered on both the first support platform 36 and the second support platform 37. The movable frame 33 is equipped with an installation plate 391 and a hanging rod 392. Multiple installation columns 4 are slidably installed on the installation plate 391 and the hanging rod 392. The spacing between adjacent installation columns 4 is adjustable. The installation columns 4 on the two movable frames 35 are respectively equipped with a bag-breaking knife 5 and a bag-removing device 6. The bag-removing device 6 includes a fixed block 61 and a hook block 62 that are hinged to each other. The fixed block 61 is provided with an arc-shaped stepped groove 64 with the intersection point as the center. An arc-shaped connecting rod 63 is installed on the hook block 62. A limit block 631 and a spring frame 632 are installed on the arc-shaped connecting rod 63. A tension spring 65 is installed between the hook block 62 and the spring frame 632 to keep the hook block 62 and the fixed block 61 in an open state.

[0033] Specifically, the mounting column 4 is provided with a hanging groove 41, a locking groove 42, and a reserved groove 43. The hanging groove 41 corresponds to the hanging rod 392, the locking groove 42 corresponds to the mounting plate 391, and a connecting hole is provided between the reserved groove 43 and the locking groove 42. A limiting boss 45 is installed in the reserved groove 43, and a U-shaped locking block 46 passes through the connecting hole. The limiting boss 45 is located in the U-shaped locking block 46, and the U-shaped locking block 46 is covered with a rubber layer. The installation of the mounting column 4 is convenient. The mounting column 4 is locked on the hanging rod 392 and then on the mounting plate 391 to complete the installation. Then, the U-shaped locking block 46 is lowered to lock the mounting plate 391 to fix the mounting column 4. It is convenient to increase or decrease the number of mounting columns 4, and it is also convenient to adjust the spacing between the mounting columns 4 to adapt to different sizes of seedling bags.

[0034] Specifically, the blade of the bag-breaking knife 5 is angled, and a hook 51 is provided at the bottom of the bag-breaking knife 5 at the blade. The bag-breaking knife 5 can more easily cut through the seedling bag when it rises.

[0035] Specifically, each mounting column 4 is equipped with a traction hook 44. By setting the traction hook 44, a round rod can be inserted into the traction hook 44 when adjusting the spacing of the mounting columns 4, so that the opposing mounting columns 4 on the two movable frames can be moved synchronously, making the adjustment more convenient.

[0036] Specifically, each of the first and second foundations 36 and 37 is equipped with a lever 362 on the U-shaped groove 361. The lever 362 has a triangular cross-section. When the seedling with soil is pushed along the first and second foundations 36 and 37, the lever 362 makes better contact with the soil at the bottom, thus preventing the soil at the bottom from falling off.

[0037] Specifically, the frame 11 of the second transfer frame 2 is provided with a hanging plate 21, on which a connecting groove is opened. Each movable frame 35 is equipped with a hanging bracket 381, on which a connecting block 382 matching the connecting groove is provided. One end of the second transfer frame 2 can be hung on the hanging plate 21 to suspend the frame plate 13 and open the frame 11, while the other end is placed on the ground to close one end of the frame 11. The seedlings with soil in the bag removal mechanism 3 can then be directly pushed into the second transfer frame 2.

[0038] Specifically, a recycling frame 7 is provided below the base 31, and a positioning frame 311 matching the recycling frame 7 is provided at the bottom of the base 31. A connecting groove 312 is provided on the base 31, and rollers 71 are installed at both ends of the recycling frame 7. The fallen seedling bags enter the recycling frame 7 for collection, and the bag removal mechanism 3 is movable, which can better cooperate with the first transfer frame 1 and the second transfer frame 2.

[0039] In use, adjust the spacing of the movable frames 33 according to the size of the seedling bags, and at the same time change the number and spacing of the mounting columns 4 to match the seedling bags. The spacing of the mounting columns 4 is the same as the outer diameter of the seedling bags. Then, use the first transfer frame 1 to move the seedlings covered with seedling bags to one side of the bag removal mechanism 3, and place the empty second transfer frame 2 on the other side of the bag removal mechanism 3. Push a row of seedlings in the first transfer frame 1 between the two movable frames 33 of the bag removal mechanism 3, and then lift the movable frame 33. Cut one side of the seedling bag with the bag-breaking knife 5. When the hook block 62 contacts the seedling bag, it retracts. When it moves above the seedling bag, it unfolds under the action of the tension spring 65. When the movable frame 33 descends again, the hook block 62 can hook the seedling bag so that it separates from the soil covering the seedlings. Then push the seedlings with soil removed from the seedling bags into the second transfer frame 2. During the pushing process, the pusher block 362 loosens the soil covering the seedlings and removes some of it, making it easier for subsequent planting.

[0040] The above provides a detailed description of a plant cultivation device provided by the present invention. The specific embodiments described are merely for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
