The Futura series of fully automatic transplanters of the Italian FERRARI company can transplant 130 plants per row per minute.

[0003] At present, most people in China use semi-automatic transplanters, which require manual seedling placement in a conveyor or transplanter. The existing seedlings of vegetables such as green vegetables and Chinese cabbage are basically grown in soil, and there is a lack of devices that can automatically and quickly grab seedlings from the soil. Summary of the invention

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a seedling grabbing device in view of the above problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: a seedling grasping device, characterized in that it includes a supporting shell, two claw assemblies and a driving device are arranged inside the supporting shell, two groups of first guide grooves for installing the claw assemblies are arranged on the supporting shell, and the driving device is used to drive the claw assemblies to move along the length direction of the first guide grooves, and the spacing between the two groups of the first guide grooves gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0006] The working principle of the utility model: the utility model needs to be matched with the slide rail in the prior art to move the utility model up and down, left and right, front and back. When the seedlings need to be picked, first move to the top of the seedlings, and the driving device drives the two claw assemblies to move along the first guide groove, so that the two claw assemblies extend. Since the spacing between the two first guide grooves gradually becomes smaller, the two claw assemblies will be close to each other, so that the two claw assemblies are inserted into the soil on both sides of the seedlings and form a accommodating cavity. At this time, when the supporting shell is driven to rise as a whole, the seedlings will be taken out of the seedling tray without letting the seedlings fall, thereby completing the automatic grabbing of the seedlings.

[0007] In the above-mentioned seedling grasping device, the claw assembly includes an insertion part and a mounting part, the insertion part and the mounting part are fixedly connected by a screw, and at least two first rollers are provided at both ends of the mounting part, and the first rollers are used to roll along the length direction of the first guide groove.

[0008] In the above-mentioned seedling grasping device, the driving device includes an electromagnetic telescopic rod and a mounting plate, the electromagnetic telescopic rod is arranged on the supporting shell, the electromagnetic telescopic rod is used to drive the mounting plate to move, and the mounting plate is connected to the two claw piece assemblies.

[0009] In the above-mentioned seedling grasping device, the mounting plate is provided with two second guide grooves, and an opening is provided at one end of the mounting portion away from the insertion portion. Second rollers are rotatably connected to both side walls of the opening, and the second rollers can roll along the length direction of the second guide groove.

[0010] In the above-mentioned seedling grasping device, a plurality of weight-reducing grooves are provided on the supporting shell.

[0011] In the above-mentioned seedling grasping device, the support shell is provided with a fixing plate for fixing the electromagnetic telescopic rod, and the fixing plate is integrated with the support shell.

[0012] In the above-mentioned seedling grasping device, the support shell is provided with reinforcing ribs connected to the fixing plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantage of being able to grab the seedlings in the seedling tray. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
