[0032] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 11As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, a cotton plug removal and insertion machine for orchid cultivation inoculation boxes and its operation method are provided, including a machine box 1 and an inoculation box body 11; the machine box 1 is provided with a conveying device 2, a rotating placement mechanism 3, a first adsorption mechanism 4, a through-hole mechanism 5, a cotton placement mechanism 6, an insertion mechanism 7, a second adsorption mechanism 8, and a storage mechanism 9; the conveying device 2 is used to convey the inoculation box body 11, and then the first adsorption mechanism 4 adsorbs the inoculation box body 11 onto the rotating placement mechanism 3; the rotating placement mechanism 3 rotates the inoculation box body 11, and the through-hole mechanism 5 passes through the middle hole of the inoculation box body 11, then the cotton placement mechanism 6 places cotton into the middle hole of the inoculation box body 11, then the insertion mechanism 7 inserts cotton into the middle hole of the inoculation box body 11, and then the second adsorption mechanism 8 adsorbs the inoculation box body 11 and puts it into the storage mechanism 9;

[0034] In the existing technology, the cotton in the inoculation box needs to be replaced during cultivation, but this is usually done manually. Manual processing is cumbersome and can easily cause contamination during cultivation.

[0035] Therefore, in operation, the present invention transports the inoculation box body 11, which requires cotton replacement, through the conveying device 2. The first adsorption mechanism 4 adsorbs the inoculation box body 11 onto the rotating placement mechanism 3. The rotating placement mechanism 3 rotates the inoculation box body 11, and the middle hole of the inoculation box body 11 is penetrated by the through mechanism 5. Then, the cotton is placed in the middle hole of the inoculation box body 11 by the cotton placement mechanism 6. Then, the cotton is inserted into the middle hole of the inoculation box body 11 by the insertion mechanism 7. Then, the inoculation box body 11 is adsorbed by the second adsorption mechanism 8 and placed into the storage mechanism 9. Thus, the cotton of the inoculation box body 11 is mechanically replaced, which is simple and convenient and reduces the possibility of manual contamination.

[0036] The conveying device 2 includes a conveying box 21, a conveyor belt 22, and a baffle plate 23; the conveying box 21 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 by a bracket, and the conveyor belt 22 is provided inside the conveying box 21; baffle plates 23 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the conveying box 21 by a bracket; the conveyor belt 22 conveys the inoculation box body 11.

[0037] The inoculation box body 11 is placed on the conveyor belt 22. As the inoculation box body 11 moves with the conveyor belt 22, it is blocked by the blocking plate 23. At this time, the movement of the conveyor belt 22 will not cause the inoculation box body 11 to move. At the same time, the blocking of the blocking plate 23 also keeps the inoculation box body 11 in the adsorption position, thereby ensuring that the first adsorption mechanism 4 performs the adsorption operation.

[0038] The rotating placement structure includes a rotating disk 31; a rotating column is rotatably connected to the chassis 1, and the rotating disk 31 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating column; a servo motor is provided inside the chassis 1, and the servo motor drives the rotating column to rotate; a set of first through slots 32 are fixedly connected to the top of the rotating disk 31, and the set of first through slots 32 is circular; a set of annular placement disks 33 are fixedly connected to the top of the rotating disk 31, and the positions of the annular placement disks 33 and the first through slots 32 correspond to each other;

[0039] The rotating disk 31 is rotated by a servo motor. At this time, an annular placement disk 33 is placed on the rotating disk 31. The annular placement disk 33 can easily place the inoculation box body 11 into the operation, ensuring that the inoculation box body 11 can rotate with the annular placement disk 33 and the rotating disk 31.

[0040] The first adsorption mechanism 4 includes a first fixed box 47; the first fixed box 47 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 by a support column, and the bottom end of the first fixed box 47 is open; a first slide rail 41 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first fixed box 47; a first slider 42 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 41; a first sliding post 43 is provided on the first slider 42, and the first sliding post 43 passes through the first slider 42 and slides up and down; a first adsorption plate 44 is installed at the bottom end of the first sliding post 43; a first loop groove 48 is opened on the inner wall of the first fixed box 47; the end of the first sliding post 43 slides in the first loop groove 48 through a first connecting post 49; a first servo motor 45 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first fixed box 47, and a first telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the first servo motor 45, and the end of the first telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the first connecting post 49;

[0041] The first servo motor 45 rotates, driving the first connecting post 49 to slide within the first loop groove 48 via the drive shaft and the first telescopic rod. The first sliding post 43, located in the vertical groove of the first loop groove 48, will adsorb the first suction plate 44 downward onto the inoculation box body 11. Then, the first servo motor 45 moves in the opposite direction, causing the first connecting post 49 to first move upward in the vertical groove of the first loop groove 48, driving the inoculation box body 11 upward. Then, it moves horizontally through the horizontal groove of the first loop groove 48, driving the inoculation box body 11 horizontally. Then, it moves vertically downward through the vertical groove of the first loop groove 48, placing it in the annular placement groove, thus completing the placement. The above operation is repeated to complete the placement of the inoculation box body 11.

[0042] The through-through mechanism 5 includes a first inverted U-shaped column 51; the first inverted U-shaped column 51 is fixedly connected to the housing 1; a first sliding disk 52 is slidably connected to the first inverted U-shaped column 51; a first rotating rod 53 is rotatably connected to the first inverted U-shaped column 51, and the first rotating rod 53 and the first sliding disk 52 are threadedly connected; a first pneumatic cylinder 54 is fixedly connected to the end of the first sliding disk 52, and the first pneumatic cylinder 54 is connected to a first U-shaped plate 55 through a piston rod; an insertion pneumatic cylinder 56 is fixedly connected to the first inverted U-shaped column 51 through a long plate, and the insertion pneumatic cylinder 56 is provided with an insertion rod 57; a feeding plate 58 is fixedly connected between the first inverted U-shaped columns 51.

[0043] The rotating disk 31 drives the inoculation box body 11 to the position of the through mechanism 5. At this time, the first pneumatic cylinder 54 drives the first U-shaped plate 55 to move down, thereby pressing the inoculation box body 11 to ensure stability. Then, the insertion pneumatic cylinder 56 drives the insertion rod 57 to move up, thereby passing through the middle hole of the inoculation box body 11 and pushing the used cotton upward. The used cotton is then discharged through the feeding plate 58, thus completing the removal of the old cotton from the inoculation box body 11.

[0044] The cotton placement mechanism 6 includes a second inverted U-shaped column 61; the second inverted U-shaped column 61 is fixedly connected to the housing 1; a second sliding disk 62 is slidably connected to the second inverted U-shaped column 61; a second rotating rod 63 is rotatably connected to the top of the second inverted U-shaped column 61, and the bottom end of the second rotating rod 63 is screwed to the second sliding disk 62; a third inverted U-shaped column 64 passes through and slides on the second sliding disk 62; a first slide rail cylinder 66 is fixedly connected to the end of the third inverted U-shaped column 64; a third rotating rod 65 is rotatably connected to the third inverted U-shaped column 64, and the third rotating rod 65 is screwed to the second sliding disk 62; a robotic arm scissor cylinder 67 is installed on the first slide rail cylinder 66;

[0045] The cotton placement mechanism 6 also includes a fourth inverted U-shaped column 611; the fourth inverted U-shaped column 611 is fixedly connected to the housing 1; a third sliding disk 612 is slidably connected to the fourth inverted U-shaped column 611; a fourth rotating rod 613 is rotatably connected to the top of the fourth inverted U-shaped column 611, and the bottom end of the fourth rotating rod 613 is screwed to the third sliding disk 612; a second slide rail cylinder 614 is fixedly connected to the third sliding disk 612; an inverted L-shaped plate 615 is slidably connected to the second slide rail cylinder 614. A fixing plate 616 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the inverted L-shaped plate 615; a first lifting cylinder 617 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing plate 616, and a U-shaped clamping plate 618 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the first lifting cylinder 617; a U-shaped fixing plate 619 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing plate 616; the U-shaped clamping plate 618 and the U-shaped fixing plate 619 are positioned corresponding to each other; a insertion pneumatic cylinder 6191 is fixedly connected to the top of the inverted L-shaped plate 615, and an insertion rod 6192 is provided on the insertion pneumatic cylinder 6191;

[0046] The cotton placement mechanism 6 also includes a connecting plate 621; the connecting plate 621 is slidably connected to the fourth inverted U-shaped column 611, and the top of the connecting plate 621 is fixedly connected to the second slide rail cylinder 614; a semi-circular plate 622 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 621, and a semi-circular groove 623 is provided on the arc surface of the semi-circular plate 622; a second lifting cylinder 624 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 621, and a loop plate 625 is fixedly connected to the second lifting cylinder 624 through a piston rod, and the loop plate 625 is located directly above the semi-circular groove 623;

[0047] After the old cotton is removed from the inoculation box body 11, the rotating disk 31 continues to rotate, moving the inoculation box body 11 to the cotton placement mechanism 6. At this time, the second slide rail cylinder 614 moves the inverted L-shaped plate 615, and then the first lifting cylinder 617 moves the U-shaped clamping plate 618 upward. The movement of the inverted L-shaped plate 615 will move the U-shaped fixing plate 619, so that the end of the cotton extending from the semi-circular groove 623 is above the U-shaped fixing plate 619. Then the U-shaped clamping plate 618 moves downward, thus clamping the end of the cotton. Then the inverted L-shaped plate 615 moves again, and at the same time the second lifting cylinder 624 moves the return plate 625 upward, releasing the cotton. The cotton is held in place by the U-shaped clamp 618 and the U-shaped fixing plate 619. Then, the first slide rail cylinder 66 drives the robotic arm scissor cylinder 67 to move, and the robotic arm scissor cylinder 67 cuts the pulled-out cotton. At the same time, the cotton is located between the U-shaped clamp 618 and the U-shaped fixing plate 619. After the cotton moves to the correct position, the first lifting cylinder 617 drives the U-shaped clamp 618 to move upward, and at the same time, the insertion pneumatic cylinder 6191 drives the insertion rod 6192 to move, inserting the cotton into the middle hole of the inoculation box body 11, thus completing the insertion of new cotton and completing the operation.

[0049] The rotating disk 31 continues to move the inoculation box body 11. At this time, the new cotton has been inserted into the middle hole of the inoculation box body 11. The inoculation box body 11 will be located below the insertion mechanism 7. Then, the insertion pneumatic cylinder 76 drives the insertion rod 77 to move, so that the inoculation box body 11, which is held by the second U-shaped plate 75, is inserted by the insertion rod 77. The new cotton inserted into the middle hole of the inoculation box body 11 is fully inserted by the insertion rod 77, and the new cotton is replaced.

[0050] The second adsorption mechanism 8 includes a second slide rail 81; a second fixed box 87 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 via a support column, and the bottom end of the second fixed box 87 is open; the bottom end of the second fixed box 87 is fixedly connected to the second slide rail 81; a second slider 82 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 81; a second sliding post 83 is provided on the second slider 82, and the second sliding post 83 passes through the second slider 82 and slides up and down; a second adsorption plate 84 is installed at the bottom end of the second sliding post 83; a second U-shaped groove 88 is opened on the inner wall of the second fixed box 87; the end of the second sliding post 83 slides in the second U-shaped groove 88 through a second connecting post 89; a second servo motor 85 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second fixed box 87, and a second telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the second servo motor 85, and the end of the second telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the second connecting post 89;

[0051] The storage mechanism 9 includes a chassis 91; the chassis 91 is fixedly connected to the chassis 1; and multiple sets of fixing columns 92 are fixedly connected to the chassis 91.

[0052] The operation of the second adsorption mechanism 8 is the same as that of the first adsorption mechanism 4. The second adsorption plate 84 is then adsorbed, the inoculation box body 11 is removed from the annular placement plate 33, and then dropped between the four fixed posts 92, thereby completing the replacement of the new cotton.

[0053] Working principle: The inoculation box body 11, which requires cotton replacement, is conveyed by the conveying device 2. The first adsorption mechanism 4 adsorbs the inoculation box body 11 onto the rotating placement mechanism 3. The rotating placement mechanism 3 rotates the inoculation box body 11, and the through mechanism 5 passes through the central hole of the inoculation box body 11. Then, the cotton placement mechanism 6 places the cotton into the central hole of the inoculation box body 11. Next, the insertion mechanism 7 inserts the cotton into the central hole of the inoculation box body 11. Finally, the second adsorption mechanism 8 adsorbs the inoculation box body 11 and places it into the storage mechanism 9, thereby mechanically replacing the cotton in the inoculation box body 11. Simple and convenient, reducing the risk of human contamination; the inoculation box body 11 is placed on the conveyor belt 22. As the inoculation box body 11 moves with the conveyor belt 22, it is blocked by the blocking plate 23. At this time, the movement of the conveyor belt 22 will not move the inoculation box body 11. At the same time, the blocking plate 23 keeps the inoculation box body 11 in the adsorption position, thus ensuring that the first adsorption mechanism 4 performs the adsorption operation. The rotating disk 31 is rotated by a servo motor. At this time, the rotating disk 31 has an annular placement disk 33 placed on it. The annular placement disk 33 can easily place the inoculation box body 11 into the operation, ensuring that the inoculation box body 11 can follow the annular placement disk. The first servo motor 45 rotates, and through the drive shaft and the first telescopic rod, it drives the first connecting post 49 to slide within the first loop groove 48. The first sliding post 43, within the vertical groove of the first loop groove 48, will adsorb the first suction plate 44 downwards onto the inoculation box body 11. Then, the first servo motor 45 moves in the opposite direction, causing the first connecting post 49 to first move upwards through the vertical groove of the first loop groove 48, driving the inoculation box body 11 upwards. Then, it moves horizontally through the first loop groove 48, driving the inoculation box body 11 horizontally. Finally, it moves vertically through the first loop groove 48, driving the inoculation box body 11 horizontally. The seed box body 11 moves vertically downward and is placed in the annular placement groove to complete the placement. The above operation is repeated to complete the placement of the seed box body 11. The rotating disk 31 drives the seed box body 11 to the position of the through mechanism 5. At this time, the first pneumatic cylinder 54 drives the first U-shaped plate 55 to move downward, thereby pressing the seed box body 11 to ensure stability. Then, the insertion pneumatic cylinder 56 drives the insertion rod 57 to move upward, thereby passing through the middle hole of the seed box body 11 and pushing the used cotton upward. The used cotton is then discharged through the feeding plate 58 to complete the removal of the old cotton from the seed box body 11.After the old cotton is removed from the inoculation box body 11, the rotating disk 31 continues to rotate, moving the inoculation box body 11 to the cotton placement mechanism 6. At this time, the second slide rail cylinder 614 moves the inverted L-shaped plate 615, and then the first lifting cylinder 617 moves the U-shaped clamping plate 618 upward. The movement of the inverted L-shaped plate 615 will move the U-shaped fixing plate 619, so that the end of the cotton extending from the semi-circular groove 623 is above the U-shaped fixing plate 619. Then the U-shaped clamping plate 618 moves downward, thereby adjusting the end of the cotton. The cotton is clamped, and then the inverted L-shaped plate 615 moves again. Simultaneously, the second lifting cylinder 624 moves the return plate 625 upward, releasing the pressure on the cotton. The cotton is then clamped by the U-shaped clamping plate 618 and the U-shaped fixing plate 619. Then, the first slide rail cylinder 66 drives the robotic arm scissor cylinder 67 to move, which in turn cuts the pulled-out cotton, completing the cutting operation. The cotton is positioned between the U-shaped clamping plate 618 and the U-shaped fixing plate 619. After the cotton is moved to the correct position, the first lifting cylinder 617 moves the U-shaped clamping plate 618 upward, and at the same time, the insertion pneumatic cylinder 6191 moves the insertion rod 6192 to insert the cotton into the middle hole of the inoculation box body 11, thus completing the insertion of new cotton and completing the operation. The rotating disk 31 continues to move the inoculation box body 11. At this time, the new cotton has been inserted into the middle hole of the inoculation box body 11. The inoculation box body 11 will be below the insertion mechanism 7. Then, the insertion pneumatic cylinder 76 moves the insertion rod 77, so that the inoculation box body 11, which is held by the second U-shaped plate 75, is inserted by the insertion rod 77. The new cotton inserted into the middle hole of the inoculation box body 11 is fully inserted by the insertion rod 77, completing the replacement of new cotton. The operation of the second adsorption mechanism 8 is the same as the operation of the first adsorption mechanism 4. The second adsorption plate 84 adsorbs the cotton, removes the inoculation box body 11 from the annular placement plate 33, and then drops it between the four fixed posts 92, thus completing the replacement of new cotton.
