Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a seedling planting device for sweet potato planting, belonging to the field of sweet potato seedling planting equipment. Background Art

[0002] Sweet potatoes like warmth and light, are drought-tolerant, and are not shade-tolerant. The general method of propagation of sweet potatoes is cuttings and layering.

[0003] There are five ways to plant sweet potatoes, depending on the soil in which they are planted:

[0004] They are horizontal planting method, oblique planting method, boat bottom planting method, straight planting method, and pressure planting method; among which the most commonly used is the oblique planting method;

[0005] Its characteristic is that the distribution position of the nodes of potato seedlings entering the soil is between horizontal planting and vertical planting. The number of tubers per plant is less than that of horizontal planting, but more than that of vertical planting. The tubers at the upper nodes are larger, while the tubers at the lower nodes are smaller or even non-existent. The oblique planting method is suitable for relatively arid areas and is easier to plant. If the number of plants per unit area is appropriately increased, even if the number of tubers per plant is small, but the tubers are larger, the weight of tubers per unit area can be increased, thereby obtaining a high yield.

[0006] The Chinese utility model patent with application number CN202222673163.9 provides a sweet potato seedling side-insertion transplanter. The side-insertion of sweet potato is actually the oblique planting method. The equipment uses a sweet potato seedling conveying device to convey the sweet potato seedlings to the seedling claws, then controls the opening and closing of the sweet potato seedling claws to clamp the sweet potato seedlings, and uses a cam to control the sweet potato seedling claws to tilt downward, so that the sweet potato seedlings are obliquely inserted into the soil to complete the planting.

[0007] However, after the sweet potato seedlings are inserted into the soil, the soil here is relatively loose, and the loose soil is not conducive to the growth of the sweet potato seedlings, so it is necessary to manually follow the machine to compact the soil. The applicant believes that some automated equipment can be added on the basis of existing equipment to improve the efficiency of soil compaction. Utility Model Content

[0008] The utility model aims to provide a seedling planting device for sweet potato planting, which can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0009] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0010] It comprises a cylinder; a soil pressing plate is arranged at the piston end of the cylinder, the soil pressing plate comprises a first pressing plate and a second pressing plate, and the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate constitute a right-angle plate; and the inner right-angle side of the right-angle plate is arranged in an arc shape.

[0011] Furthermore: the end of the first pressing plate away from the right angle is tilted upward, and the end of the second pressing plate away from the right angle is tilted upward.

[0012] Furthermore: the lower end surface of the soil pressing plate is a smooth convex surface protruding downward.

[0013] Further: the soil pressing plate also includes a third pressing plate, and the third pressing plate, the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate constitute a concave plate, and the inner concave surface of the concave plate is set to be an arc shape.

[0014] Further: both ends of the first pressing plate are warped upwards.

[0015] Furthermore: the lower end surface of the soil pressing plate is a smooth convex surface protruding downward.

[0016] Furthermore: a mounting seat is also provided on the cylinder, and handrails are provided on both sides of the mounting seat.

[0017] Further: a threaded hole is provided on the mounting seat.

[0018] The beneficial effects are:

[0019] When the transplanter performs automatic side-insertion transplanting on the sweet potato seedlings, the sweet potato seedlings are inserted sideways into the soil, and at the same time the soil becomes loose due to the insertion of the sweet potato seedlings; the staff can hold the handrail to control the extension of the piston of the cylinder, and the soil pressing plate will press on the soil to realize the soil compaction operation. The device uses the force of the cylinder, and workers do not need to use manpower to compact the soil, which can reduce the work intensity of workers. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0027] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 This is an embodiment of a seedling planting device for sweet potato planting of the utility model.

[0028] Embodiment 1:

[0029] The invention comprises a cylinder 1; a soil pressing plate 2 is arranged at the piston end of the cylinder 1, and the soil pressing plate 2 comprises a first pressing plate 21 and a second pressing plate 22, and the first pressing plate 21 and the second pressing plate 22 constitute a right angle plate; and the inner right angle side of the right angle plate is arranged in an arc shape. A mounting seat 3 is also arranged on the cylinder 1, and handrails 4 are arranged on both sides of the mounting seat 3. A threaded hole 5 is arranged on the mounting seat 3.

[0030] The device adopts a seedling transplanter with application number CN202222673163.9, which provides a sweet potato seedling side-insertion transplanter. When the machine performs automatic side-insertion transplanting on the sweet potato seedlings, the sweet potato seedlings are inserted sideways into the soil, and the soil becomes loose due to the insertion of the sweet potato seedlings; the staff can hold the handrail 4 to control the piston of the cylinder 1 to extend, and the soil pressing plate 2 will be pressed on the soil to realize the soil compaction operation. With the help of the force of the cylinder 1, the device does not need workers to use manpower to compact the soil, which can reduce the work intensity of workers.

[0031] At the same time, the device can directly install the mounting seat 3 on the sweet potato seedling side-insertion transplanter in the prior art. When the sweet potato seedling is inserted into the soil, the automatic control cylinder 1 is directly pressed on the soil to complete the transplanting of the sweet potato seedling and the compaction of the soil. The specific installation can be directly fixed on the frame by bolts;

[0032] The soil pressing plate 2 of the device is in the shape of a right-angle plate composed of a first pressing plate 21 and a second pressing plate 22. The purpose of such a setting is based on the side insertion of the sweet potato seedlings;

[0033] Soil compaction requires compacting all the soil around the sweet potato seedlings, but since the sweet potato seedlings are inserted obliquely, the obliquely inserted side cannot be directly pressed down; at the same time, this device is installed on a sweet potato seedling side-insertion transplanter, so when the sweet potato seedling side-insertion transplanter moves forward, the soil in front of the sweet potato seedlings cannot be pressed down, so the soil pressing plate 2 is set to the shape of a right-angle plate.

[0034] The end of the first pressing plate 21 away from the right angle is tilted upward, and the end of the second pressing plate 22 away from the right angle is tilted upward.

[0035] When the device is installed on the sweet potato seedling side-inserting transplanter, since the sweet potato seedling side-inserting transplanter is in the process of moving, it will drive the soil pressing plate 2 to move; so this arrangement can prevent the soil from being taken away by the soil pressing plate 2.

[0036] The lower end surface of the soil pressing plate 2 is a smooth convex surface protruding downward.

[0037] Such arrangement is for the purpose of leveling the soil when the soil pressing plate 2 moves with the transplanting machine.

[0038] See also Figure 3 , Embodiment 2:

[0039] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that:

[0040] The soil pressing plate 2 further comprises a third pressing plate 23. The third pressing plate 23, the first pressing plate 21 and the second pressing plate 22 form a concave plate, and the inner concave surface of the concave plate is set to be an arc shape.

[0041] With such a configuration, the soil pressing plate 2 is no longer suitable for the sweet potato seedling side-insertion transplanter, but needs to be manually operated; the purpose of doing so is to check for leaks and fill in the gaps, because during the side-insertion transplanting process of the sweet potato seedling side-insertion transplanter, not all of the sweet potato seedlings will be inserted into the soil, and not all of the soil pressing plates 2 will be smoothly pressed on the soil;

[0042] Therefore, in order to check for leaks and fill in the gaps, workers are required to follow the sweet potato seedlings and insert the transplanter sideways. When a sweet potato seedling is not inserted, the workers will insert it manually; when the soil under a sweet potato seedling is not compacted, the workers will operate the soil pressing plate 2 to compact the soil.

[0043] The manually used soil pressing plate 2 does not move forward with the movement of the sweet potato seedling side-inserting transplanter, so the structure of the manually used soil pressing plate 2 will be slightly different; but the soil pressing effect is better than the soil pressing plate 2 installed on the sweet potato seedling side-inserting transplanter.

[0044] Both ends of the first pressing plate 21 are tilted upward.

[0045] In this way, the second pressing plate 22 and the third pressing plate 23 are both tilted upward.

[0046] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the technical features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any changes or modifications made by any technician in the field of the present invention are included in the patent scope of the present invention.
