Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention mainly relates to the field of agricultural planting machinery technology, specifically a device for artificial inoculation of Cistanche tubulosa. Background Technology

[0002] Cistanche tubulosa, a national second-class protected plant, is a famous and precious traditional Chinese medicine in central and western my country. It is mainly produced on the southern edge of the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang and often parasitizes the roots of plants such as Tamarix chinensis. With the increasing market demand year by year, wild Cistanche tubulosa resources are becoming increasingly depleted, and artificial cultivation has become the main way to meet market demand. Artificial inoculation is a crucial step in the cultivation process of Cistanche tubulosa.

[0003] Currently, the traditional method of manually inoculating Cistanche tubulosa involves manual furrowing, sowing, and covering with soil, which has several drawbacks: First, it is labor-intensive and inefficient, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale cultivation; second, inconsistent furrow depth and spacing result in uneven seed sowing and inconsistent inoculation survival rates; third, insufficient seed-soil contact during manual operation affects parasitism success, thus restricting the yield and quality of Cistanche tubulosa. Existing inoculation machinery suffers from complex structures, poor adjustment flexibility, and insufficient adaptability, failing to accurately meet the specific requirements of Cistanche tubulosa inoculation. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated, efficient, precise, and easy-to-operate manual inoculation device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an artificial inoculation device for Cistanche tubulosa, aiming to overcome the problems of low efficiency, poor accuracy, and high labor intensity of traditional manual inoculation and existing mechanical inoculation, and to achieve integrated operation of trenching, quantitative sowing, and soil covering, thereby improving the efficiency and survival rate of Cistanche tubulosa inoculation.

[0031] The soil covering device 4 includes a V-shaped push plate 41, in which a pull rod 42 is fixedly installed. A pull ring 43 is rotatably installed in the middle of the pull rod 42. The pull ring 43 is connected to the support frame 1 at the bottom of the mounting base 12 by a rope.

[0032] The procedure for using this device is as follows: Device debugging: According to the planting requirements of Cistanche tubulosa and soil conditions, adjust the position and height of the furrowing device 2—insert the sliding plate 21 into the corresponding slot 13 of the support frame 1, and fix the spacing of the furrowing device 2 by passing pins through the fixing hole seat 14 and the pin holes 23 on the sliding plate 21; select a suitable height for the pin holes 23 on the sliding plate 21 for fixing, and adjust the furrowing depth of the furrow opener 22. Then slide and adjust the bracket 123 on the mounting base 12 so that the feed pipe 37 of the quantitative seeding device 3 is aligned directly above the furrow opened by the furrow opener 22, ensuring that the seeds can fall accurately into the furrow; by sliding the first gear 67 on the multi-faceted rod 66, make it precisely mesh with the second gear 68 to ensure smooth transmission.

[0033] Seed loading: Open the cover plate 32 on the top of the hopper 31 of the quantitative seeding device 3, load the pretreated Cistanche tubulosa seeds into the hopper 31, and let the seeds fall naturally into the feed bin 33. Close the cover plate 32 to prevent the seeds from spilling or getting damp.

[0034] Traction connection: Securely connect the traction component of the tractor or other traction equipment to the traction ring 110 at the top of the device traction frame 11, check whether the soil covering device connected by the rope is securely installed, and ensure that the V-shaped push plate 41 is in a horizontal state.

[0035] Operation: Start the traction equipment to drive the device forward at a constant speed (recommended speed 1-2 km / h). During the movement, the furrow opener 22 first opens uniform planting furrows in the soil; simultaneously, the roller 52 of the drive structure rotates in contact with the ground, driving the drive gear 53 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 54 and drive shaft 61 to rotate via the transmission chain 55. This rotation is transmitted to the transmission shaft 63 via the first synchronous gear 62, the synchronous belt 65, and the second synchronous gear 64, which in turn drives the multi-faceted rod 66 and the first gear 67 to rotate. The first gear 67 drives the second gear 68 and the feeding impeller 34 to rotate at a constant speed. The trough 35 on the feeding impeller 34 holds the seeds, and as the impeller rotates, it quantitatively delivers the seeds to the feeding pipe 37. The seeds then fall precisely into the planting furrows below through the feeding pipe 37. As the device continues to move forward, the V-shaped pusher 41 at the rear moves synchronously under the traction of the rope, pushing the soil on both sides of the planting furrow into the furrow, completing the soil covering operation and realizing a continuous integrated operation of furrow opening, sowing, and soil covering.

[0036] Operation Monitoring and Adjustment: During operation, operators must observe the device's operating status and replenish seeds in the hopper promptly. Adjust the traction speed or furrow depth appropriately based on soil moisture and furrow depth to ensure inoculation quality. After operation, clean any remaining seeds from the hopper and discharge bin, check all components for damage, and perform thorough cleaning and maintenance of the device.

[0037] This invention constructs a collaborative operation system through the rational layout of a support frame, a ditching device, a quantitative seeding device, a soil covering device, a drive structure, and a transmission device. The ditching device allows for flexible adjustment of ditch depth and spacing to adapt to different planting needs; the quantitative seeding device achieves quantitative and uniform seed dispensing through mechanical transmission, ensuring seeding accuracy; the soil covering device adopts a V-shaped pusher plate structure, providing good soil covering effect and adapting to the device's travel speed; the drive structure relies on the rotation of rollers to provide power, which is transmitted to the quantitative seeding device through the transmission device, requiring no additional power input, thus saving energy and being environmentally friendly. The entire device is scientifically designed, structurally stable, and easy to operate. It can be used in conjunction with conventional traction equipment, significantly reducing labor costs, improving the standardization of inoculation operations, and providing reliable equipment support for the large-scale artificial cultivation of Cistanche tubulosa.
