Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of sapling transport equipment, and in particular to a sapling clamping and transporting device. Background Art

[0002] Tree planting usually starts with cultivating seedlings through sowing or vegetative propagation. When the seedlings grow to a certain stage and the density of the seedlings increases, the nutritional space occupied by each seedling is small, so the trees need to be transplanted to keep a larger distance between adjacent trees to facilitate the continued growth of the seedlings.

[0003] After the saplings are dug out of the soil, their roots will have soil balls to ensure that the trees have a good survival rate. In the prior art, when saplings are transported over long distances, a transport vehicle is used, while in the short-distance transportation of saplings, a wheelbarrow is usually used. The operator needs to carry the saplings with soil balls onto the wheelbarrow, and then push the wheelbarrow to transport the saplings to the designated location for planting. The labor intensity of the operators in the process of transporting the saplings is high, and usually multiple people are required to carry them together, which is very labor-intensive and needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the present application provides a sapling clamping and conveying device, which can conveniently clamp, transport and transfer saplings for planting, so as to reduce the labor intensity of operators.

[0005] The present application provides a sapling clamping and conveying device that adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A sapling clamping and conveying device comprises two symmetrically arranged bracket assemblies, the two bracket assemblies are detachably connected via a quick-release structure, and an auxiliary walking mechanism is provided at the bottom of each bracket assembly; clamping mechanisms are respectively installed on opposite sides of the two bracket assemblies, and the two groups of clamping mechanisms are used to clamp and limit the saplings together; a plug-in structure is provided between the two adjacent groups of clamping mechanisms, and in a state of use, the two groups of clamping mechanisms move together via the plug-in structure, and one of the bracket assemblies is installed with a lifting mechanism for driving the clamping mechanism to rise and fall.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when transporting saplings over short distances, the two mutually connected bracket assemblies are pushed to the outside of the saplings, and the two bracket assemblies are disassembled by the quick-release structure, so that the two bracket assemblies are respectively located on both sides of the saplings, and then each bracket assembly is forced to move in the direction close to the saplings, and the two sets of clamping mechanisms can jointly clamp and fix the soil ball at the root of the saplings, and the two sets of clamping mechanisms can be moved simultaneously by the plug-in structure. Afterwards, the two bracket assemblies are reconnected and fixed by the quick-release structure, and then the lifting mechanism is controlled to drive the clamping mechanism to move upward, so that the saplings can be lifted from the ground, so that the operator can push the device and use the auxiliary walking mechanism to move it, and then the saplings can be conveniently transported to the designated location for planting. The entire operation process is convenient and fast, and replaces manual operation with automation, which can reduce the labor intensity of operators while facilitating the transportation of saplings and improve work efficiency.

[0008] Optionally, the quick-release structure includes connecting ear plates respectively arranged on the two bracket assemblies and pins for connecting the two connecting ear plates, each connecting ear plate is provided with a through socket, and when in use, the two connecting ear plates are vertically staggered, and the pins are matched and inserted into the two sockets.

[0009] By adopting the above-mentioned technical scheme, in the use state, that is, when the two groups of clamping mechanisms arranged in the two bracket assemblies abut against each other to jointly clamp the soil ball at the root of the sapling, the two connecting ear plates arranged in the two bracket assemblies can be arranged in a vertically staggered manner. By inserting the pins into the sockets of the two connecting ear plates, the opposite movement of the two bracket assemblies can be restricted, thereby conveniently connecting the two bracket assemblies to each other; conversely, by pulling the pins out of the sockets, the two bracket assemblies can be quickly disassembled.

[0010] Optionally, the bracket assembly is provided with a vertically arranged sliding groove, and the connecting ear plate is slidably installed in the sliding groove; an elastic member is provided between the connecting ear plate and the sliding groove, and the elastic member is used to force the connecting ear plate to stay in the middle of the sliding groove.

[0011] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, by sliding the connecting ear plate in the sliding groove, when the ground is rugged and the two connecting ear plates partially overlap in the vertical direction after the bracket assembly is parked, applying force to the connecting ear plate can easily make the two connecting ear plates vertically displaced, thereby facilitating the plug-in positioning of the two connecting ear plates and the rapid fixation of the two bracket assemblies, thereby improving the applicability of the device.

[0012] Optionally, the clamping mechanism includes a telescopic rod group connected to the bracket assembly and a semi-ring frame fixed to the movable end of the telescopic rod group. When in use, the two semi-ring frames abut against each other to jointly clamp and fix the soil ball at the root of the sapling.

[0013] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the telescopic rod group is set so that it is in a normally extended state under the action of gravity of the semi-ring frame. At this time, the semi-ring frame is at the lowest position. When the two bracket assemblies are forced to move in the direction close to the tree, the two semi-ring frames can abut against each other to jointly clamp the soil ball that fixes the tree, so as to facilitate the lifting and transportation of the seedlings.

[0014] Optionally, the plug-in structure includes a plug-in column and a plug-in slot adapted to be plugged therewith, and the plug-in column and the plug-in slot are respectively arranged on adjacent sides of the two semi-ring frames.

[0015] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, when the two semi-ring frames are abutted against each other, the plug-in column on one of the semi-ring frames can be matched and inserted into the plug-in groove of the other semi-ring frame, and then when the subsequent lifting mechanism drives the correspondingly connected semi-ring frame to move upward, the two semi-ring frames can move with the saplings, and then smoothly lift the saplings from the ground.

[0016] Optionally, the lifting mechanism includes a hydraulic component installed on the bracket assembly and a rocker arm component for manually driving the hydraulic component to extend and retract, and the semi-ring frame is connected to the movable end of the hydraulic component; the rocker arm component is also provided with a pressure relief component for relieving pressure.

[0017] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, when the two bracket assemblies are connected to each other through the quick-release structure and the two clamping mechanisms jointly clamp the saplings, the two sets of clamping mechanisms can be smoothly driven and the saplings can be driven upward by controlling the movement of the rocker arm component to manually drive the hydraulic component to extend upward; in addition, when the saplings are transported to the designated location, the pressure inside the hydraulic component is released by the pressure relief component, and the saplings can fall back to the ground at the designated location after the hydraulic component is reset, so that the saplings can be planted.

[0018] Optionally, the bracket assembly is installed with a spring support, and the fixed end of the hydraulic component is fixedly connected to the spring support.

[0019] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, when the operator pushes the bracket assembly to drive the sapling to move, the spring support with a built-in buffer spring can reduce the instantaneous large-scale jump of the clamping mechanism when the sapling moves and crosses large sand and gravel, making the shaking of the clamping mechanism more stable, reducing the loss of the root soil ball of the sapling during transportation, and is conducive to the stable growth of the sapling after transplanting.

[0020] Optionally, the auxiliary walking mechanism includes at least two sets of walking wheel assemblies, and all the walking wheel assemblies are arranged side by side and respectively fixed to the bottom of the bracket assembly.

[0021] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the provision of the walking wheel group can improve the convenience for the operators to push the support assembly to walk, and by providing two sets of walking wheel groups on each support assembly, the support assembly can still maintain good stability when the two support assemblies are separated from each other, so as to facilitate the clamping, transportation and transfer of seedlings for planting.

[0022] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. Two sets of clamping mechanisms are set up to fix the soil ball at the root of the sapling, and the two bracket assemblies are connected and fixed by a quick-release structure. The lifting mechanism is used to force the clamping mechanism to rise, and after the sapling is lifted from the ground, the sapling can be easily transported to the designated location for planting. The entire operation process is convenient and fast, which can facilitate the transportation of saplings while reducing the labor intensity of operators and improving work efficiency;

[0024] 2. By arranging the pins to match and insert them into the sockets of the two connecting ear plates, the two bracket assemblies can be restricted from moving away from each other, thereby conveniently connecting the two bracket assemblies to each other; conversely, by pulling the pins out of the sockets, the two bracket assemblies can be quickly disassembled;

[0025] 3. By sliding the connecting ear plate in the sliding groove, when the ground is rough and the two connecting ear plates partially overlap in the vertical direction after the bracket assembly is parked, applying force to the connecting ear plate can easily make the two connecting ear plates vertically displaced, thereby facilitating the insertion and positioning of the two connecting ear plates and the rapid fixation of the two bracket assemblies, thereby improving the applicability of the device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0033] The embodiment of the present application discloses a sapling clamping and conveying device.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 A sapling clamping and conveying device includes two symmetrically arranged support assemblies 1, the two support assemblies 1 are detachably connected via a quick-release structure 2, and an auxiliary walking mechanism 3 is provided at the bottom of each support assembly 1, which can facilitate operators to push the device to move.

[0035] The auxiliary walking mechanism 3 includes at least two walking wheel assemblies 31. In this embodiment, the specific number of the walking wheel assemblies 31 is set to two. The two walking wheel assemblies 31 are arranged side by side and are respectively fixed to the bottom of the bracket assembly 1, so as to keep the bracket assembly 1 balanced when the two bracket assemblies 1 are separated from each other. In addition, each walking wheel assembly 31 includes two universal wheels fixed to the bracket assembly 1. The arrangement of the universal wheels can facilitate the movement and reversal of the bracket assembly 1.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 The quick-release structure 2 includes a pin 22 and two connecting ear plates 21, and the two connecting ear plates 21 are slidably installed on the bracket assembly 1 respectively; specifically, a sliding groove 11 is opened on the side of the bracket assembly 1, and the extension direction of the sliding groove 11 is the same as the vertical direction; the connecting ear plate 21 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 11, and two elastic members 12 are arranged inside the sliding groove 11. The elastic member 12 in this embodiment is configured as a compression spring. The two elastic members 12 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the connecting ear plate 21, and can jointly generate an elastic force acting on the connecting ear plate 21, so that the connecting ear plate 21 normally stays in the middle position of the sliding groove 11, and when encountering a rugged ground, the two connecting ear plates 21 can be easily vertically dislocated by applying force to the connecting ear plate 21, so as to facilitate the mutual connection between the two bracket assemblies 1.

[0037] Also refer to Figure 3The top surface of each connecting ear plate 21 is provided with a vertically penetrating socket 211. When the two bracket assemblies 1 are pressed against each other, the two sockets 211 provided on the two connecting ear plates 21 can be in a mutually opposite position by forcing the connecting ear plates 21 to be vertically displaced; the outer diameter of the pin 22 is set equal to the inner diameter of the socket 211. By inserting the pin 22 into the two sockets 211, the nail cap of the pin 22 is pressed against the connecting ear plate 21, which can limit the opposite movement of the two bracket assemblies 1, thereby facilitating the mutual connection of the two bracket assemblies 1; anyway, by pulling the pin 22 out of the socket 211, the two bracket assemblies 1 can be quickly disassembled.

[0038] Back to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the support assembly 1 is composed of a plurality of horizontal beams and a plurality of vertical beams connected to form a frame structure. Each support assembly 1 is provided with a clamping mechanism 4 on the side facing the adjacent support assembly 1. The two sets of clamping mechanisms 4 are used to clamp and limit the position of the saplings. Figure 3 The clamping mechanism 4 includes a semi-ring frame 41 and a telescopic rod group 42. The telescopic rod group 42 includes a fixed rod 421 fixedly connected to the top of the bracket assembly 1 and a movable rod 422 movably sleeved on the fixed rod 421. The semi-ring frame 41 is fixed to one end of the movable rod 422 away from the fixed rod 421, that is, the free end of the movable rod 422. The two semi-ring frames 41 are used to jointly clamp and fix the soil ball at the root of the sapling.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 , a plug-in structure 43 is provided between the two groups of clamping mechanisms 4, and the plug-in structure 43 includes a plug-in column 431 and a plug-in slot 432 that is plugged in and adapted thereto. In this embodiment, the plug-in column 431 is integrally formed on the side of one of the semi-ring frames 41, and the plug-in slot 432 is correspondingly opened on the side of the other semi-ring frame 41. In the use state, the plug-in column 431 of the semi-ring frame 41 can match the plug-in slot 432 inserted in the other semi-ring frame 41, so that the two semi-ring frames 41 can jointly clamp the soil ball at the root of the sapling and lift up and down with the soil ball. It can be understood that the use state mentioned here refers to the state when the two bracket assemblies 1 are connected to each other through the quick-release structure 2 and are used to transport saplings.

[0040] Back to Figure 3 , one of the bracket assemblies 1 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 5 for driving the clamping mechanism 4 to move up and down; specifically, refer to Figure 5The lifting mechanism 5 includes a hydraulic component 51 and a rocker arm component 52. A spring support 6 is installed at the inner bottom of the bracket assembly 1, and a buffer spring is built in the spring support 6; the hydraulic component 51 is configured as a hydraulic pump, and the pump body of the hydraulic component 51 is fixed to the top surface of the spring support 6. A connecting plate 511 is fixed to the movable end of the hydraulic component 51, and the hydraulic component 51 can be connected to the semi-ring frame 41 through the connecting plate 511.

[0041] The hydraulic component 51 of this embodiment is in a normally retracted state, and the telescopic rod group 42 is in a naturally expanded state. By controlling the action of the hydraulic component 51, the semi-ring frame 41 can be driven to move upward, and then the plug-in structure 43 is used to make the two groups of semi-ring frames 41 move upward together, thereby lifting the saplings off the ground for transportation and transplanting.

[0042] Reference Figure 5 The rocker arm component 52 is rotatably connected to the bracket assembly 1. By pressing the rocker arm component 52 to pressurize the hydraulic component 51, the movable end of the hydraulic component 51 can be driven to gradually extend outward; the rocker arm component 52 is also provided with a pressure relief component 53 for pressure relief. By pressing the pressure relief component 53, the internal pressure of the hydraulic component 51 can be released, so that the hydraulic component 51 is reset to a naturally retracted state, which is used to drop the saplings to the ground after they are transported to the designated location, so as to facilitate the planting of the saplings.

[0043] The implementation principle of a sapling clamping and conveying device in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0044] When transporting saplings over short distances, first push the two interconnected bracket assemblies 1 to the outside of the saplings, remove the pins 22 from the connecting ear plates 21, and then disassemble the two bracket assemblies 1 from each other; secondly, place the two bracket assemblies 1 on both sides of the saplings, forcing each bracket assembly 1 to move toward the saplings, and the semi-ring frames 41 of the two sets of clamping mechanisms 4 can jointly clamp and fix the soil ball at the roots of the saplings, and the simultaneous movement of the two sets of clamping mechanisms 4 can be achieved through the plug-in structure 43.

[0045] Furthermore, the pin 22 is reinserted into the sockets 211 of the two connecting ear plates 21, so that the two bracket assemblies 1 are reconnected and fixed, and then the rocker arm component 52 is pressed to control the movable end of the hydraulic component 51 to extend outward, driving the two half-ring frames 41 to move upward together, so that the sapling can be lifted from the ground; the operator pushes the device and uses the auxiliary walking mechanism 3 to move, so that the sapling can be easily transported to the designated location for planting. The entire operation process is convenient and fast, and the manual operation is replaced by automation, which can reduce the labor intensity of the operator while facilitating the transportation of saplings and improve the operation efficiency.

[0046] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
