[0026] For this new embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , a licorice cultivation automatic seedling raising machine, comprising a workbench 1 and an electric cylinder 2, a reciprocating feeding structure 3 is arranged on the side of the workbench 1, a vibration structure 4 is arranged on the surface of the reciprocating feeding structure 3, and the electric cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the surface of the reciprocating feeding structure 3;

[0027] The reciprocating feeding structure 3 includes a fixed plate 303, which is fixedly connected to both sides of the workbench 1. The surface of the fixed plate 303 is fixedly connected to the electric cylinder 2. The output shaft end of the electric cylinder 2 is rotatably connected to a swing plate 301. The side of the swing plate 301 away from the electric cylinder 2 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 302. The rotating shaft 302 is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed plate 303. The surface of the rotating shaft 302 is fixedly connected to a first swinging wave plate 304. The surface of the fixed plate 303 is rotatably connected to a limiting shaft 308. The surface of the limiting shaft 308 is fixedly connected to a storage box 306. The side of the storage box 306 is fixedly connected to a wave block 307. The surface of the rotating shaft 302 is respectively fixedly connected to a suction barrel 305.

[0028] The electric cylinder 2 starts and drives the swing plate 301 and the rotating shaft 302 to rotate inside the fixed plate 303, and drives the suction cylinder 305 to swing, and puts the seedlings adsorbed by the suction cylinder 305 into the vibration structure 4. When the rotating shaft 302 rotates, the first swing wave plate 304 is driven to swing and contact the wave block 307, and the storage box 306 is driven to swing around the limit axis 308 to evenly distribute the seedlings placed in the storage box 306.

[0029] In order to realize the automation of placing seedlings into the seedling tray, the following specific structure needs to be disclosed in detail, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The rotating shaft 302 fixedly connected inside the first swing wave plate 304 is rotatably connected to the two groups of fixed plates 303, and the suction cylinders 305 fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 302 are respectively provided with several groups, and the suction cylinders 305 are self-priming, and the limiting shaft 308 fixedly connected inside the storage box 306 is provided with torsion springs at both ends;

[0030] The staff needs to put the seedlings into the storage box 306, and then turn on the conveyor belt and put the seedling tray on the surface of the conveyor belt, and then start the electric cylinder 2 and drive the swing plate 301 and the rotating shaft 302 to rotate inside the fixed plate 303. When the rotating shaft 302 rotates, it will drive the suction cylinder 305 that sucks the seedlings to swing. When the suction cylinder 305 swings the maximum distance, the suction cylinder 305 can put the sucked seedlings into the vibration structure 4 and guide them to the seedling tray, so as to realize the automatic placement of the seedlings into the seedling tray;

[0031] In order to evenly distribute the seedlings placed in the storage box 306, the following specific structure needs to be disclosed in detail, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The surface of the first swinging wave plate 304 and the convex blocks provided on the wave blocks 307 on the side of the storage box 306 are adapted to each other. When the rotating shaft 302 rotates, the first swinging wave plate 304 is driven to swing. Since the surface of the first swinging wave plate 304 and the convex blocks provided on the wave blocks 307 on the side of the storage box 306 are adapted to each other, when the rotating shaft 302 swings, it will contact the wave blocks 307, so that the storage box 306 swings around the wave blocks 307. Because the torsion springs are provided on both sides of the storage box 306 as mentioned above, the storage box 306 is in a swinging state. When the storage box 306 swings, the seedlings placed in the storage box 306 can be vibrated evenly, so as to prevent the suction barrel 305 from sucking in the seedlings for a long time, a local position without seedlings will be formed inside the storage box 306, which will affect the suction barrel 305 to suck in the seedlings later.

[0032] In order to make the seedling cultivation of the diversion tube 404 faster, the following specific structure needs to be disclosed in detail, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The vibration structure 4 includes a moving column 401, a second swinging wave plate 402 is fixedly connected to the surface of the moving column 401, the second swinging wave plate 402 is adapted to the sliding groove provided on the surface of the fixed plate 303, a sliding plate 403 is slidably connected inside the fixed plate 303, a sliding groove adapted to the sliding plate 403 is provided on the surface of the fixed plate 303, a flow guide pipe 404 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding plate 403, springs 405 are fixedly connected to both sides of the sliding plate 403, and the side of the spring 405 away from the sliding plate 403 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed plate 303;

[0033] When the electric cylinder 2 contracts, it will drive the swing plate 301 to swing. When the swing plate 301 swings, it will drive the moving column 401 to slide in the sliding groove opened inside the fixed plate 303. At this time, the moving column 401 will move toward the bottom of the workbench 1. The movement of the moving column 401 will drive the second swing wave plate 402 to move. Because the second swing wave plate 402 side surface and the second protrusion set on the side surface of the sliding plate 403 are adapted to each other, when the second swing wave plate 402 moves, it will contact the protrusion set on the side surface of the sliding plate 403 and drive the sliding plate 403 to move left and right. When the sliding plate 403 moves left and right, it will drive the guide tube 404 to vibrate, so that the seedlings placed in the guide tube 404 by the suction cylinder 305 are quickly shaken off into the seedling tray being transported on the workbench 1, so as to prevent the guide tube 404 from being stuck in the static state and causing resource waste.

[0034] In order to put more seedlings into the seedling tray, the following specific structure needs to be disclosed in detail, please refer to Figure 2 , the guide tubes 404 are respectively provided with several groups along the surface of the sliding plate 403, so that more seedlings can be placed in the seedling tray;

[0035] In order to achieve better reset and shaking of the sliding plate 403, the following specific structure needs to be disclosed in detail, please refer to Figure 6 Two groups of springs 405 are symmetrically arranged along the center of the surface of the sliding plate 403, and a damping rod is provided inside the spring 405, so as to better shake the sliding plate 403;

[0036] In order to move the reciprocating feeding structure 3 and the vibration structure 4, the following specific structures need to be disclosed in detail, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Two groups of fixed plates 303 are symmetrically arranged along the center of the surface of the workbench 1, so as to better limit the reciprocating feeding structure 3 and the vibration structure 4.

[0037] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this. The replacement can be a replacement of part of the structure, device, method step, or a complete technical solution. Equivalent replacement or change based on the technical solution of the utility model and its utility model concept should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
