Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural machinery and tobacco transplanting technology, specifically relating to an electric fully automatic tracked tobacco transplanter and method. Background Technology

[0002] Tobacco is an annual herbaceous economic crop that occupies an important position in my country's agricultural economic system, with an annual planting area of ​​over 1,000,000 hectares. Tobacco cultivation primarily relies on seedling transplanting, which involves transplanting seedlings grown in greenhouses into the field at the appropriate time. Currently, tobacco transplanting operations still face several technical challenges: traditional manual transplanting is inefficient, labor-intensive, produces inconsistent quality, and incurs continuously rising labor costs; existing transplanting machinery has poor terrain adaptability, especially in hilly and mountainous areas, exhibiting problems such as inflexible steering, easy slippage on slopes, and low transplant qualification rates; power systems mostly use hydraulic or fuel-driven systems, resulting in complex structures, high maintenance costs, environmental pollution, and insufficient control precision, which is inconsistent with the trend of green agriculture; most equipment lacks sufficient automation, failing to achieve full automation of the entire process from seedling collection and planting, and the adjustment of operating parameters is inconvenient, making it difficult to adapt to the agronomic requirements of different tobacco-growing regions.

[0003] The development of tobacco transplanters has been slower compared to fruit and vegetable transplanters, with most existing machines being semi-automatic. Due to the unique characteristics of tobacco seedlings—thin, wide leaves, slender, fragile stems, weak plant support, and susceptibility to diseases like bacterial wilt and blackleg after mechanical damage—common vegetable transplanters cannot be directly applied to tobacco transplanting. Existing tobacco transplanters often rely on rotary motion for their seedling-grabbing and feeding mechanisms, resulting in high inertia, fixed trajectories, and poor adaptability. The mechanical grippers struggle to apply the appropriate force to the fragile substrate structure, easily leading to substrate breakage or root damage, resulting in a high seedling injury rate and low operational precision.

[0004] In existing technologies, Wang Wanzhang et al. from Henan Agricultural University designed a fully automatic tobacco seedling delivery and transplanting method using pneumatic control (CN202411372693.7), which achieved automatic seedling delivery and retrieval. However, this scheme uses a rotary seedling retrieval mechanism, which has drawbacks such as large inertia, fixed trajectory, and high seedling damage rate, and it does not solve the problem of adaptability to hilly and mountainous terrain. Li Jianke et al. disclosed a tracked tobacco transplanter (CN202321876542.3), but its automation level is insufficient, requiring manual assistance for seedling placement, and it cannot achieve fully unmanned operation. The research progress of tobacco transplanters in hilly and mountainous areas (Transactions of the Chinese Society of Agricultural Engineering, Vol. 39, No. 12, 2023) elaborates on the current technical pain points and development trends of tobacco transplanters in hilly and mountainous areas. The Technical Conditions for Tobacco Transplanters (NY / T2333-2013) clarifies the operational quality requirements and performance indicators of tobacco transplanters. In conclusion, developing an electric tracked fully automatic tobacco transplanter that combines terrain adaptability, full automation, and energy efficiency is key to solving the current challenges in tobacco transplanting. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing tobacco transplanting equipment and solve the following technical problems: 1. Existing transplanters have poor terrain adaptability. When operating in hilly and mountainous areas, they are not flexible in steering, are prone to slipping on slopes, and tend to tilt during planting. 2. The inertia of the seedling feeding mechanism is large and the seedling damage rate is high, making it difficult to adapt to the fragile physiological characteristics of tobacco seedlings in pots. 3. Low level of automation, unable to achieve full automation of the entire process of seedling collection, pond preparation, planting, and watering; 4. Fuel-powered and hydraulic drive systems pollute the environment, have complex structures, and high maintenance costs; 5. The separate driving of multiple motors leads to asynchronous timing of pond preparation, seedling reception, and seedling planting, which can easily result in problems such as missing seedlings and improper planting.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An electric fully automatic tracked tobacco transplanter includes an electric tracked chassis, a seedling picking and placing mechanism, a seedling conveying mechanism, a seedling tray frame, a tray delivery mechanism, a planting mechanism, a watering mechanism, a power system, and a control system. The electric tracked chassis includes a tracked walking device and a height adjustment device for multi-level adjustment of the machine's walking and working height, adapting to complex terrains such as hilly areas and uneven ridges. The power system includes a battery and an air compressor. The battery provides power to the machine, and the air compressor provides air to the pneumatic components, with a working pressure threshold of 6.5 MPa. The control system includes an electrical control box, indicator lights, and multiple sensors for controlling the coordinated operation of each mechanism. The seedling picking and placing mechanism is a slide rail structure, including a mounting frame, a linear drive device, a slide rail assembly, a displacement drive device, and multiple seedling clips. The linear drive device drives the seedling clips along the slide rail to move back and forth between the seedling picking position and the seedling placing position, while the displacement drive device drives the seedling clips to converge and disperse along the slide rail. The planting mechanism includes a power unit, a power distribution device, a planter, and operation execution components. The power unit synchronously drives the planter and the seedling conveying mechanism through the power distribution device to achieve sequential coordinated operation of pond preparation, seedling reception, and seedling planting.

[0007] Furthermore, the mounting frame of the seedling feeding mechanism includes two vertically spaced and parallel mounting side plates. A front mounting plate for the rodless cylinder is located between the front sides of the two mounting side plates, and a rear mounting plate for the rodless cylinder is located between the rear sides. The front and rear ends of the rodless cylinder are fixedly connected to the front and rear mounting plates, respectively. The slide rail assembly includes a seedling pulling cylinder seat, two optical shafts, two box-type linear bearings, a seedling clip slide rail fixing plate, and a seedling clip slide rail. The two optical shafts are set parallel to the rodless cylinder, and their ends are fixed to the left and right mounting side plates through embedded bearing seats, respectively. The two box-type linear bearings are respectively sleeved on the two optical shafts, and the left and right ends of the seedling pulling cylinder seat are fixedly connected to the two linear bearings, respectively. The bottom of the slider of the rodless cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the seedling pulling cylinder seat, driving it to move back and forth along the optical shaft.

[0008] Furthermore, a tension spring is connected between the rear of the seedling-pulling cylinder seat and the rear mounting plate of the rodless cylinder to buffer motion inertia and eliminate mechanism jamming points. Two optical axis fixing rings are fixed on each optical axis to limit the range of motion of the seedling-pulling cylinder seat in the seedling-picking position and the seedling-throwing position, respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, the displacement drive device includes a front displacement cylinder and a rear displacement cylinder, which are fixed side-by-side on the upper part of the seedling pulling cylinder seat. The piston rod of the front displacement cylinder extends forward and is hinged to the rear of the left seedling clip box via a Y16 cylinder connector; the piston rod of the rear displacement cylinder extends backward and is hinged to the front of the right seedling clip box via a Y-shaped cylinder fisheye connector. A seedling clip sliding track is fixed to the upper part of the left and right seedling clip boxes, and eight sliders are slidably connected on this track. Each slider fixes one seedling clip, and a total of eight seedling clips are arranged at equal intervals.

[0010] Furthermore, each seedling clip is fixed with a seedling clip limiting plate at its upper part, and the upper part of the seedling clip box is fixed with a middle seedling clip limiting plate, a double-hole seedling clip limiting plate, and two side seedling clip limiting plates in sequence from the inside to the outside. When the piston rod of the displacement cylinder extends, the seedling clips converge inward, and the limiting plate engages with a set of limiting holes in the limiting plate, so that the spacing between the seedling clips is consistent with the spacing between the seedling trays; when the piston rod extends, the seedling clips disperse outward, and the limiting plate engages with another set of limiting holes, so that the spacing between the seedling clips is consistent with the spacing between the seedling cups of the seedling conveying mechanism.

[0011] Furthermore, the seedling picking and dispensing mechanism is equipped with two magnetic ring switches, respectively installed at the front and rear ends of the rodless cylinder body, to detect whether the rodless cylinder has moved to the seedling picking and dispensing position. The seedling picking and dispensing mechanism also includes an integrated valve body, fixed to the outside of the left mounting plate, which is connected to the air compressor and various pneumatic components through quick connectors to centrally control the air circuit.

[0012] Furthermore, the power splitting device is an angle box, with the input shaft connected to the planting motor reducer via a coupling, outputting two mutually perpendicular power sources: one power is transmitted to the planter via a chain, and the other power is transmitted to the seedling conveying mechanism via the angle box's horizontal output shaft, sprocket, and chain, thus achieving simultaneous planting and seedling conveying operations.

[0013] Furthermore, the tray feeding mechanism includes a tray feeding motor, a tray feeding chain, a tray feeding rotating shaft, a first tray feeding drive sprocket, and a second tray feeding drive sprocket. A fixed crossbeam is horizontally fixed to the upper part of the seedling tray conveying frame. Diamond-shaped bearing seats are fastened to the fixed crossbeam by fixed U-bolts. Both ends of the tray feeding rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the diamond-shaped bearing seats. The tray feeding motor drives the tray feeding chain to intermittently feed the seedling trays forward; the feeding distance is adjustable to adapt to different seedling picking positions.

[0014] Furthermore, the electric tracked chassis is also equipped with a standing platform, a tray, and a water tank. The water tank is connected to a water injection mechanism, which automatically injects water to settle the roots after detecting that the tobacco seedlings have been planted.

[0015] The present invention also provides an electric fully automatic tracked tobacco transplanting method, which uses the above-mentioned transplanter and includes the following steps: S1: The system starts up. The operator inputs the transplanting speed, plant spacing and planting height parameters, and the system enters the work preparation state. S2: The air compressor starts. When the pressure reaches 6.5MPa, the seedling feeding mechanism and the seedling conveying mechanism enter the standby state. S3: The rodless cylinder slider moves backward, driving the seedling pulling cylinder seat and seedling clip to the rear seedling picking position; the piston rods of the two displacement cylinders retract simultaneously, driving the left and right seedling clip boxes to move inward, causing the seedling clips to converge inward until they are consistent with the spacing between the seedling trays. S4: After the control system detects that the magnetic ring switch and the inner sensor at the seedling position are both triggered, it waits for the seedling cup proximity switch to be triggered. S5: After the seedling cup is in place, the tray delivery motor starts, driving the seedling tray forward to a hole spacing; the integrated valve body controls the seedling clamp to close at the same time, clamping the tobacco seedling pot; S6: The rodless cylinder slider moves forward, driving the seedling clip to move towards the seedling placement position; at the same time, the planting motor, which is always working, synchronously drives the planter and the seedling conveying mechanism through the corner box. S7: Upon reaching the seedling placement position, the piston rods of the two displacement cylinders extend to both sides, driving the seedling clips to disperse outwards until they are aligned with the spacing between the seedling cups; the magnetic ring switch and the outer sensor for detecting the seedling placement position are both triggered; S8: The seedling clips open simultaneously, and the tobacco seedlings fall into the seedling cups; the seedling conveying mechanism drives the seedling cups to rotate, transporting the tobacco seedlings to the top of the planting mechanism; S9: The planter drives the shovel to move to the lowest point to make a hole. When the shovel moves upward to the highest point, the duckbill moves to the highest point to catch the tobacco seedling. Then the duckbill moves downward to the lowest point to complete the planting. S10: The water injection mechanism automatically injects a fixed amount of water to establish the roots, completing one transplanting operation. The system repeats the above steps in a cycle.

[0030] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, the electric fully automatic tracked tobacco transplanter of the present invention mainly includes a battery 1-1, an electrical control box 1-2, a work indicator light 1-3, a seedling picking and placing mechanism 1-4, a seedling conveying mechanism 1-5, a seedling tray rack 1-6, a tray delivery mechanism 1-7, a tray 1-8, an air compressor 1-9, a water tank 1-10, a standing pedal 1-11, a water injection mechanism 1-12, a track tensioning mechanism 1-13, a scissor lifting frame 1-14, a track 1-15, track drive wheels 1-16, a track chassis height adjustment point 1-17, and a planting mechanism 1-18. The battery 1-1 provides power to all electric components of the machine, and the air compressor 1-9 provides compressed air to pneumatic components such as the seedling picking and placing mechanism 1-4. The track tensioning mechanism 1-13 is used to adjust the tension of the track 1-15 to ensure walking stability; the scissor lifting frame 1-14 cooperates with the track chassis height adjustment point 1-17 to achieve a wide range of adjustment of the overall machine working height to adapt to different ridge heights and terrains. The standing footboard 1-11 is for the operator to stand and operate, the tray 1-8 is used to place spare seedling trays and tools, and the water tank 1-10 stores the root-setting water and irrigates the tobacco seedlings through the water injection mechanism 1-12.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the core working mechanism includes a planting mechanism 1-18, a seedling feeding mechanism 1-4, and a tray delivery mechanism 1-7. The planting motor 2-5, after being reduced in speed by the planting motor reducer 2-6, is transmitted to the corner box 2-7 via the coupling 3-11. The corner box 2-7 is a power splitting component, outputting two mutually perpendicular forces: one force is transmitted to the planter 2-8 via the output chain 3-8 of the corner box, driving the planting shovel 2-10 and the duckbill 3-6 to reciprocate; the other force is transmitted to the seedling delivery mechanism 1-5 via the horizontal output shaft 3-10 of the corner box, the first sprocket 4-3, the second sprocket 4-1, and the input chain 3-7 of the seedling delivery mechanism, driving the seedling cup 2-9 to rotate and deliver tobacco seedlings. The tray feeding motor 2-11 drives the seedling tray conveying frame 2-14 to move through the tray feeding chain 2-12, the tray feeding rotating shaft 3-2, the tray feeding transmission first sprocket (17) and the tray feeding transmission second sprocket (34), thereby realizing the intermittent feeding of the seedling tray 2-1. The feeding distance can be adjusted by the speed of the tray feeding motor 2-11 to achieve the optimal seedling picking position.

[0033] like Figure 4As shown, in the transmission system of the planting mechanism 1-18, the first sprocket 4-3 is fixed to the transverse output shaft 3-10 of the corner box via a flat key, and serves as the driving wheel, connected to the second sprocket 4-1 via the input chain 3-7 of the seedling conveying mechanism. The second sprocket 4-1 is rotatably connected to the driven shaft on the planting device fixing plate 4-5 via a gear-mounted bearing 4-4. This driven shaft is coaxially fixed to the input shaft of the seedling conveying mechanism 1-5, thereby transmitting the power of the corner box 2-7 to the seedling conveying mechanism 1-5. The chain tension wheel 3-9 is fixed to the planting device fixing plate 4-5 via a tension wheel fixing shaft 4-2, and abuts against the input chain 3-7 of the seedling conveying mechanism, used to adjust the chain tension and ensure smooth transmission.

[0034] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the seedling feeding mechanism 1-4 is a sliding rail structure and is the core innovative component of this invention. The seedling feeding cover 5-2 is fixed to the mounting side plate 5-1 by hexagonal head bolts 5-8 to protect the internal mechanism. The seedling feeding mechanism mounting frame 2-3 includes two mounting side plates 5-1 arranged vertically spaced and parallel to each other. A rodless cylinder front mounting plate 5-31 is provided between the front sides of the two mounting side plates 5-1, and a rodless cylinder rear mounting plate 5-23 is provided between the rear sides. The front and rear ends of the rodless cylinder 5-3 are fixedly connected to the rodless cylinder front mounting plate 5-31 and the rodless cylinder rear mounting plate 5-23, respectively.

[0035] Two optical axes 5-7 are set parallel to the rodless cylinder 5-3. One optical axis 5-7 is fixed to the left mounting side plate 5-1 at both ends by an embedded bearing seat 5-17, and the other optical axis 5-7 is fixed to the right mounting side plate 5-1 at both ends by another embedded bearing seat 5-17. Two box-type linear bearings 5-6 are respectively sleeved on the two optical axes 5-7. The left and right ends of the seedling pulling cylinder seat 5-4 are fixedly connected to the left and right box-type linear bearings 5-6 respectively. The seedling clip slide rail fixing plate 5-27 is fixed to the front of the seedling pulling cylinder seat 5-4, and the seedling clip slide rail 5-12 is fixed to the seedling clip slide rail fixing plate 5-27. The bottom of the slider of the rodless cylinder 5-3 is fixedly connected to the top of the seedling pulling cylinder seat 5-4, driving the seedling pulling cylinder seat 5-4 to move back and forth along the two optical axes 5-7 between the rear seedling picking position and the front seedling placing position.

[0036] Two optical axis fixing rings 5-9 are fixed on each optical axis 5-7. The rear optical axis fixing ring limits the range of movement of the seedling-pulling cylinder seat 5-4 in the seedling-picking position, and the front optical axis fixing ring limits the range of movement of the seedling-pulling cylinder seat 5-4 in the seedling-throwing position. A tension spring 5-5 connects the rear part of the seedling-pulling cylinder seat 5-4 to the rodless cylinder rear mounting plate 5-23, providing a buffering force when switching between the seedling-picking and seedling-throwing positions, eliminating the possibility of the mechanism jamming, and reducing the inertia of movement.

[0037] The upper part of the seedling-pulling cylinder seat 5-4 is fixed with a front displacement cylinder 5-3-11 and a rear displacement cylinder 5-3-13 side by side via a displacement cylinder mounting plate 5-28. The piston rod of the front displacement cylinder 5-3-11 extends forward and is hinged to the rear of the left seedling clip box 5-3-8 via a Y16 cylinder connector 5-30; the piston rod of the rear displacement cylinder 5-3-13 extends backward and is hinged to the front of the right seedling clip box 5-3-8 via a Y-shaped cylinder fisheye connector 5-3-7. A seedling clip sliding track 5-3-10 is fixed to the lower part of both the left and right seedling clip boxes. Four sliders are slidably connected to each seedling clip sliding track, and each slider is fixed with a seedling clip 5-15 via a seedling clip slider fixing screw 5-3-9, for a total of 8 seedling clips arranged at equal intervals along the left and right directions.

[0038] Each seedling clip 5-15 has a seedling clip limiting plate 5-14 fixed to its upper part. The upper parts of the left and right seedling clip boxes are fixed with the middle seedling clip limiting plate 5-3-14, the double-hole seedling clip limiting plate 5-3-15, and the two side seedling clip limiting plates 5-3-16 in sequence from the inside to the outside by the seedling clip limiting plate fixing screws 5-3-5. When the piston rod of the displacement cylinder extends, it drives the left and right seedling clip boxes to move towards each other, causing the 8 seedling clips to converge inward along the seedling clip sliding track. The seedling clip limiting plates 5-14 respectively engage in the limiting holes of the corresponding limiting plates, so that the spacing of the 8 seedling clips is consistent with the spacing of the seedling trays. When the piston rod of the displacement cylinder retracts, it drives the left and right seedling clip boxes to move away from each other, causing the 8 seedling clips to disperse outward along the seedling clip sliding track. The seedling clip limiting plates 5-14 respectively engage in another set of limiting holes of the corresponding limiting plates, so that the spacing of the 8 seedling clips is consistent with the spacing of the seedling cups 2-9 of the seedling conveying mechanism.

[0039] The seedling picking and placing mechanism 1-4 is also equipped with an integrated valve body 5-20, which is fixed to the outside of the left mounting plate 5-1 via an integrated valve body mounting plate 5-22. The integrated valve body 5-20 is connected to the air compressor 1-9 and various pneumatic components via a quick connector 5-24, achieving centralized control, simplifying pipeline layout, and improving the stability of the air circuit system. A T-shaped bushing 5-3-6 is provided between the seedling clip slide rail and the track side plate 5-18 to reduce motion friction and ensure the linear accuracy of the seedling clip movement. At each end of the rodless cylinder body 5-3-4 of the rodless cylinder 5-3, a magnetic ring switch 5-3-2 is fixed via a magnetic ring switch mounting plate 5-3-3, which respectively detects whether the rodless cylinder has moved to the seedling picking position and the seedling placing position. Only when the magnetic ring switch is triggered will the system execute the next action, ensuring accurate operation timing.

[0040] like Figure 9 As shown, the transplanting operation control process (working process) of the present invention is as follows: After the system starts, the operator inputs operating parameters such as transplanting speed, plant spacing, and planting height through the electrical control box 1-2. After the parameters are set, the system enters the operation preparation state. First, the air compressor 1-9 starts. When the air compressor pressure reaches 6.5MPa, the seedling feeding mechanism 1-4 and the seedling conveying mechanism 1-5 begin to work. The slider of the rodless cylinder 5-3 moves backward, driving the seedling pulling cylinder seat 5-4 and the eight seedling clips 5-15 to move along the optical axis 5-7 to the rear seedling picking position; the piston rod of the front displacement cylinder 5-3-11 extends forward, and the piston rod of the rear displacement cylinder 5-3-13 extends backward, driving the left and right seedling clip boxes to move towards each other, causing the eight seedling clips to converge inward along the seedling clip sliding track. The seedling clip limiting plates engage with the limiting holes of the corresponding limiting plates, making the spacing between the seedling clips consistent with the spacing between the tobacco seedling trays.

[0041] After the control system detects that the magnetic ring switch and the inner sensor at the rear seedling position are both triggered, it waits for the seedling cup proximity switch to be triggered. When the seedling cup proximity switch detects that the seedling cup 2-9 is in place, the feeding tray motor 2-11 starts, drives the feeding tray rotating shaft 3-2 to rotate in the diamond bearing seat 2-4, drives the first sprocket (17) of the feeding tray transmission to rotate, and drives the feeding tray chain 2-12 to move after being decelerated by the second sprocket (34) of the feeding tray transmission, which drives the seedling tray 2-1 to move forward by one hole distance, and sends the tobacco seedling directly below the seedling clip 5-15; then the integrated valve body controls the 8 seedling clips to close simultaneously, gently picking up the tobacco seedling pot.

[0042] After the seedling is picked up, the slider of the rodless cylinder 5-3 moves forward, while the piston rods of the two displacement cylinders remain extended, driving the seedling clamp 5-15 to move forward to the seedling placement position. At the same time, the planting motor 2-5 starts, and after being reduced in speed by the planting motor reducer 2-6, it drives the corner box 2-7 to rotate through the coupling 3-11. The corner box 2-7 outputs two power paths: one path drives the planter 2-8 to move through the output chain 3-8 of the corner box, and the other path drives the first sprocket 4-3 to rotate through the horizontal output shaft 3-10 of the corner box. After being transmitted through the input chain 3-7 and the second sprocket 4-1 of the seedling conveying mechanism, it drives the seedling cup 2-9 of the seedling conveying mechanism 1-5 to rotate.

[0043] When the slider of the rodless cylinder 5-3 reaches the front seedling placement position, the piston rod of the front displacement cylinder 5-3-11 retracts backward, and the piston rod of the rear displacement cylinder 5-3-13 retracts forward, driving the left and right seedling clip boxes to move in opposite directions respectively. This causes the 8 seedling clips to disperse outward along the seedling clip sliding track. The seedling clip limiting plates are engaged in another set of limiting holes on the corresponding limiting plates, making the spacing between the seedling clips consistent with the spacing between the seedling cups. After the control system detects that the front seedling placement position magnetic ring switch and the outer sensor are both triggered, the integrated valve body controls the 8 seedling clips to open simultaneously, and the tobacco seedlings accurately fall into the seedling cups 2-9 below.

[0044] The seedling conveying mechanism 1-5 drives the seedling cup 2-9 to continue rotating, conveying the tobacco seedlings above the planting mechanism 1-18. The planter 2-8 drives the shovel 2-10 to its lowest point, creating suitable holes in the field. When the shovel 2-10 moves upward to its highest point, the beak 3-6 reaches its highest point, catching the tobacco seedlings conveyed by the seedling cup 2-9. Then, the beak 3-6 moves downward to its lowest point, vertically planting the tobacco seedlings into the holes, completing the planting operation. The watering mechanism 1-12 detects that the tobacco seedlings have been planted and automatically injects a fixed amount of water into the holes. Thus, one complete transplanting operation is completed. The system automatically repeats the above process, achieving continuous automatic transplanting.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
