Abstract
This invention relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically to a sunflower tray-planting and drying machine and method, aiming to solve the technical problems in existing mechanized operations, such as sunflower tray damage due to rigid mechanical centering, misalignment of tray placement due to tilted residual stalks, and stalk breakage due to insertion during operation. The machine includes a frame, a walking device, a tray-cutting device, a stalk-cutting device, a stalk-clamping device, and a tray-feeding device. It also includes: an adaptive flexible centering system that combines visual positioning and torque feedback for flexible centering of the sunflower trays; a pre-alignment stop system that uses visual detection to dynamically compensate for longitudinal misalignment caused by stalk tilting to accurately trigger tray placement; and a tray-planting device that eliminates horizontal pushing force during insertion by matching the speed of the pressure plate conveyor belt with the machine's walking speed. This sunflower tray-planting and drying machine achieves fully automatic stalk cutting and tray-planting operations for edible sunflowers with low loss, high precision, and high stability.
