Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of Codonopsis pilosula cultivation technology, specifically a Codonopsis pilosula cultivation device and its cultivation method. Background Technology

[0002] Codonopsis pilosula, a plant of the Campanulaceae family, also known as Xidang, Tiaodang, and Ludang, has the functions of tonifying the middle energizer and replenishing qi, nourishing blood and lungs, and promoting body fluid and quenching thirst. It is mainly used to treat fatigue, weakness of the spleen and stomach, and deficiency of both qi and blood. It is mainly produced in Northeast China, as well as Gansu, Shanxi, and Shaanxi provinces. It grows wild on shady or semi-shady slopes of high mountains, forest edges, thickets, and along mountain roads. It prefers a mild and cool climate, is cold-resistant, and dislikes high temperatures.

[0003] Chinese patent discloses a device for horizontal planting and transplanting of Codonopsis pilosula (authorization announcement number CN 214430098 U). This patented technology can transport Codonopsis pilosula seedlings to the ridges on the soil through a third conveyor belt, realizing horizontal planting of Codonopsis pilosula seedlings along the direction of movement (which is also the direction of ridge length). The seedling transport direction of the third conveyor belt is opposite to the forward direction of the device, and the third conveyor belt and the seedling transport plate press the Codonopsis pilosula seedlings tightly during seedling transport. Therefore, the Codonopsis pilosula seedlings will not tilt when transplanted into the ridges on the soil, ensuring that the Codonopsis pilosula grows along the direction of ridge length, which is convenient for later harvesting.

[0004] However, the third conveyor belt is inclined, causing the Codonopsis pilosula seedlings to slip on it, resulting in inconsistent planting distances and affecting their growth. Therefore, a Codonopsis pilosula planting device and method are provided to address the problems mentioned in the background section. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a Codonopsis pilosula planting device and planting method to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A Codonopsis pilosula planting device includes a frame on which a planting structure is mounted. The planting structure includes multiple rollers rotatably connected to the frame. A conveyor belt is wound between the rollers. Multiple partitions are fixed on the conveyor belt. Placement grooves are provided between the partitions. Codonopsis pilosula is placed inside the placement grooves.

[0008] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a tow frame is installed on one side of the vehicle frame, and a seat is installed on the other side of the vehicle frame.

[0009] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a guide plate is fixedly connected to the frame, and the inner side of the guide plate is in contact with the partition block.

[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a ground roller is provided on one side of the vehicle frame, and the two ends of the ground roller are mounted on one side of the vehicle frame through connecting frames. A transmission rod is rotatably connected to one side of the vehicle frame, and a gear rod is meshed on the upper side of the transmission rod. The gear rod is fixedly connected to any one of the rollers, and a transmission belt is wound between the transmission rod and the ground roller.

[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a rotating disk is fixedly connected to the roller, a water tank is installed on one side of the frame, a piston tube is fixedly and through the lower side of the water tank, a piston rod is slidably connected inside the piston tube, the piston rod is hinged to the rotating disk through a hinge rod, a drip tube is fixedly and through one end of the piston tube, and a one-way pipe is provided at the connection between the drip tube, the water tank and the piston tube.

[0012] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a flushing structure is installed on the lower side of the piston tube, the flushing structure including a flushing pipe, one end of the flushing pipe being fixed and connected to the piston tube through a one-way valve, and the other end of the flushing pipe being aligned with the connection between the transmission rod and the gear rod.

[0013] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a water receiving box is installed below the gear rod, a filter screen is installed inside the water receiving box, a water spray pipe is installed on the bottom side of the frame, the water spray pipe communicates with the water receiving box, and multiple water spray holes are opened on the bottom side of the water spray pipe.

[0014] A method for cultivating Codonopsis pilosula includes the following steps:

[0015] S1: Traction and Movement: An external tractor is connected to the device and the entire device is towed forward via a tow frame, while the operator is positioned on the seat to perform the operation.

[0016] S2: Seedling loading: The operator, seated in the chair, places the Codonopsis pilosula seedlings into the placement slots on the conveyor belt in sequence;

[0017] S3: Fixed-point seedling placement: During the forward movement, the rollers rotate and drive the conveyor belt to circulate, transporting the Codonopsis pilosula seedlings in the placement trough to the rear of the device and placing them in the field;

[0018] S4: Soil compaction: At the location where the Codonopsis pilosula seedlings are placed, the soil around the seedlings is rolled and compacted using a soil compactor to complete the planting.

[0019] As a further embodiment of the present invention: in step S3 or S4, a step of synchronous irrigation is also included: the rotation of the roller drives the rotating disk to rotate, and then drives the piston rod in the piston tube to reciprocate through the hinge rod, continuously drawing water from the water tank and pressing it into the drip tube, and finally dripping water onto the roots of the newly planted Codonopsis seedlings.

[0020] As a further embodiment of the present invention: in step S3 or S4, a synchronous flushing and pre-wetting planting step is also included: when the piston rod in the piston tube reciprocates, it continuously draws water from the water tank and presses it into the flushing pipe, and finally flushes and cleans the connection between the transmission rod and the gear rod through the flushing pipe. The wastewater from the flushing and cleaning process falls into the water receiving box, and after filtration, it flows into the spray pipe through the water guide pipe to soften the soil in the planting area.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0022] 1. This invention uses a flat conveyor belt with equidistant partitions to stably transport Codonopsis pilosula seedlings in independent placement troughs, effectively preventing the seedlings from sliding and rolling during transport, ensuring uniform spacing between plants, and laying the foundation for the uniform growth of Codonopsis pilosula.

[0023] 2. This invention integrates seedling feeding, soil covering and compaction, and irrigation functions into one unit. Through the ground wheel drive mechanism of the pressing roller, the mechanical linkage between the device's movement and each actuator is realized. No additional power is required, the degree of automation is high, planting efficiency is significantly improved, and labor intensity is reduced.

[0024] 3. This invention ensures the operational reliability of the core transmission mechanism (transmission rod + gear rod) in harsh muddy environments through active and synchronous cleaning, reduces downtime maintenance, and improves the durability of the device.

[0025] 4. By intelligently recycling and proactively utilizing the water resources after flushing and cleaning, irrigation water is not only saved, but the physical condition of the soil at the planting site is also actively improved, achieving the dual agronomic effects of water saving and seedling promotion.

Spray pipe. Detailed Implementation

[0032] Please see Figures 1-4 A Codonopsis pilosula planting device includes a frame 1, on which a planting structure is mounted. The planting structure includes multiple rollers 3, which are rotatably connected to the frame 1. A conveyor belt 301 is wound around the rollers 3, and multiple partitions 302 are fixed on the conveyor belt 301. Placement grooves 303 are provided between the partitions 302, and Codonopsis pilosula is placed inside the placement grooves 303. A traction frame 101 is mounted on one side of the frame 1, and a seat 2 is mounted on the other side of the frame 1. A guide plate 304 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the inner side of the guide plate 304 is in contact with the partitions 302. A pressing roller 305 is provided on one side of the frame 1, and both ends of the pressing roller 305 are mounted on one side of the frame 1 through connecting frames 306. A transmission rod 307 is rotatably connected to one side of the frame 1, and a gear rod 308 is meshed on the upper side of the transmission rod 307. The gear rod 308 is fixedly connected to any one of the rollers 3, and a winding arrangement is provided between the transmission rod 307 and the pressing roller 305. A transmission belt 309 is included. In this embodiment, when the tractor traction device moves forward, the friction of the ground drives the pressing roller 305 to rotate. This rotation is transmitted to a roller 3 through the subsequent transmission system (transmission belt 309, transmission rod 307, gear rod 308), thereby providing power for the cyclical movement of the conveyor belt 301. The spacers 302 fixed on the conveyor belt 301 form equidistant placement slots 303. The operator sits in the seat and simply places the Codonopsis pilosula seedlings (usually rhizomes) one by one into the placement slots 303. The conveyor belt 301 moves backward with the seedlings, and the spacers 302 move close to the guide plate 304. Their key function is to prevent the seedlings from rolling off the placement slots 303 due to bumps or inertia during the transportation process, ensuring that the seedlings are accurately transported to the seedling placement point. When the conveyor belt 301 reaches the end, the seedlings in the placement slots 303 fall automatically and vertically into the pre-dug planting trench under the action of gravity. Because the spacing between all the placement slots 303 is fixed, precise seedling placement with equal and fixed plant spacing is achieved.

[0033] like Figure 1As shown, the pressing roller 305 is installed directly behind the seedling landing point, pushing back the soil on both sides after the seedling is placed to cover it; and by rolling and compacting, it makes the soil around the seedling compact, ensuring that the roots are in full contact with the soil, avoiding suspension, which is conducive to water absorption and rooting, while also playing a role in moisture retention.

[0034] Furthermore, a rotating disk 401 is fixedly connected to the roller 3, and a water tank 4 is installed on one side of the frame 1. A piston tube 402 is fixedly and continuously connected to the lower side of the water tank 4. A piston rod is slidably connected inside the piston tube 402. The piston rod is hinged to the rotating disk 401 through a hinge rod 403. A drip tube 404 is fixedly and continuously connected to one end of the piston tube 402. One-way pipes are provided at the connection points of the drip tube 404, the water tank 4, and the piston tube 402. In this embodiment, when the roller 3 rotates, the rotating disk 401 rotates accordingly. One end of the hinge rod 403 is hinged to the eccentric position of the rotating disk 401, and the other end is connected to the piston rod inside the piston tube 402. The rotational motion of the rotating disk 401 is converted into a moving motion through the hinge rod 403. The piston rod reciprocates linearly within the piston tube 402; the piston tube 402 is equipped with one-way valves (such as an inlet one-way valve and an outlet one-way valve); when the piston rod moves backward, a negative pressure is generated within the piston tube 402, the inlet one-way valve opens, and the outlet one-way valve closes, drawing water from the water tank 4 into the piston tube 402; when the piston rod moves forward, the pressure within the piston tube 402 increases, the inlet one-way valve closes, and the outlet one-way valve opens, forcing water into the dripper 404; the outlet of the dripper 404 is precisely aligned with the seedling position after it has been compacted by the pressing roller 305, dripping water near the seedling roots; this design achieves precise irrigation of "planting one seedling and watering one seedling," greatly improving water resource utilization, and ensuring that irrigation and planting progress are completely synchronized.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, a flushing structure is installed on the lower side of the piston tube 402. The flushing structure includes a flushing pipe 5. One end of the flushing pipe 5 is fixed to and connected through the piston tube 402 via a one-way valve. The other end of the flushing pipe 5 is aligned with the connection between the transmission rod 307 and the gear rod 308. In this embodiment, when the piston rod performs a water-pressurized stroke, the pressure inside the piston tube 402 increases, the one-way valve opens, and a portion of the high-pressure water jets out at high speed from its end port through the flushing pipe 5, directly and forcefully flushing the meshing connection between the transmission rod 307 and the gear rod 308. When the piston rod performs a water-pressurized stroke... During the water intake stroke, the pressure inside the piston tube decreases, and the one-way valve closes under external pressure or its own structural action to prevent water or dirt from flowing back into the piston tube 402, thus protecting the irrigation system from contamination. This structure utilizes the pump pressure of the irrigation system to form a high-pressure pulse water flow, which can effectively flush away the mud, weeds, and other debris accumulated at the gear meshing point. This prevents and avoids the critical power transmission nodes of the transmission rod 307 and gear rod 308 from jamming or wearing due to dirt accumulation, ensuring the reliability and continuity of mechanical transmission and preventing planting interruptions caused by transmission failure from the root cause.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, a water receiving box 501 is installed below the gear rod 308. A filter screen is installed inside the water receiving box 501. A water spray pipe 503 is installed on the bottom side of the frame 1, and the water spray pipe 503 communicates with the water receiving box 501. Multiple spray holes are opened on the bottom side of the water spray pipe 503. In this embodiment, the mud-water mixture flushed down from the gear connection drips naturally into the water receiving box 501 installed directly below under gravity. The filter screen inside the water receiving box 501 intercepts larger particles (such as mud, sand, and plant debris) carried in the water flow, preventing them from entering subsequent pipes and causing blockages. The relatively clean water, after preliminary filtration, flows into the water spray pipe 503, which communicates with the water receiving box 501. Multiple water spray holes on the bottom disperse the water flow into multiple fine streams or mists, which are evenly sprayed onto the soil surface directly below the water spray pipe 503. This position is usually designed in front of the traveling direction of the pressing roller 305. This setting realizes the recycling and reuse of "wastewater", transforming it from sewage to valuable agricultural water, resulting in significant water-saving benefits. Furthermore, spraying the recycled water onto the soil that the pressing roller 305 is about to compact effectively softens the soil in the area to be planted. This makes the subsequent soil covering and compaction work less difficult and more effective (the soil is easier to shape), and creates a moist and loose ideal microenvironment for the Codonopsis pilosula seedlings to be planted, which greatly benefits the rapid rooting and water absorption of the seedlings.

[0037] A method for cultivating Codonopsis pilosula includes the following steps:

[0038] S1: Traction: An external tractor is connected to the device and the entire device is towed forward via the towing frame 101, while the operator is in seat 2 to operate the device.

[0039] S2: Seedling loading: The operator, seated in seat 2, places the Codonopsis pilosula seedlings into the placement slots 303 on the conveyor belt 301 in sequence;

[0040] S3: Fixed-point seedling placement: During the forward movement, the roller 3 rotates and drives the conveyor belt 301 to circulate, transporting the Codonopsis pilosula seedlings in the placement trough 303 to the rear of the device and placing them in the field;

[0041] S4: Soil compaction: At the location where the Codonopsis pilosula seedlings are placed, the soil around the seedlings and the surrounding soil is compacted by rolling the 305 roller to complete the planting.

[0042] Specifically, in step S3 or S4, a synchronous irrigation step is also included: the rotation of roller 3 drives the rotating disk 401 to rotate, which in turn drives the piston rod in piston tube 402 to reciprocate through hinge rod 403, continuously drawing water from water tank 4 and pressing it into drip tube 404, and finally dripping water onto the roots of newly planted Codonopsis seedlings.

[0043] Specifically, in step S3 or S4, a synchronous flushing and pre-wetting planting step is also included: when the piston rod in the piston tube 402 reciprocates, it continuously draws water from the water tank 4 and presses it into the flushing pipe 5. Finally, the connection between the transmission rod 307 and the gear rod 308 is flushed and cleaned through the flushing pipe 5. The wastewater from the flushing and cleaning process falls into the water receiving box 501, and after filtration, it flows into the spray pipe 503 through the water guide pipe 502 to soften the soil in the planting area.

[0044] Working principle: The tractor moves forward through the traction frame 101. The pressing roller 305, installed at the rear of the frame 1, rotates due to friction with the ground. This rotation drives the transmission rod 307 through the transmission belt 309, and then transmits the power to the roller 3 through the meshing gear rod 308, driving the conveyor belt 301 to circulate. The operator sits on the seat 2 and places the Codonopsis pilosula seedlings into the placement groove 303 formed by the partition block 302 on the conveyor belt 301. The seedlings are smoothly transported to the end under the protection of the guide plate 304 and fall into the field ridge at a fixed point. The pressing roller 305 follows closely behind to cover the seedlings with soil and roll and compact them. At the same time, the rotation of the roller 3 drives the rotating disk 401 on it to rotate. Through the hinge rod 403, the piston rod in the piston tube 402 reciprocates, continuously pumping water from the water tank 4 and precisely dripping it to the roots of the seedlings through the drip pipe 404, thus realizing the integrated continuous operation of ditching, seedling placement, soil covering, compaction and watering.

[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
