Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of seedling transportation, in particular to a rice seedling transportation device. Background Art
[0002] At present, during the rice planting process, the transplanting of seedlings is a very crucial link. Traditional seedling transplanting methods mainly rely on manual handling and transplanting. Although this method is relatively common, it has problems such as low efficiency, high labor intensity, and high time cost. Especially in large-scale planting, manually transporting seedlings not only takes a lot of time and effort but also easily causes damage to the seedlings, affecting the transplanting effect and survival rate.
[0003] During the transportation of rice seedlings, traditional methods often use a fixed multi-layer rack structure. This structure is composed of multiple fixed shelf boards, and each shelf board is used to place rice seedlings. During operation, workers need to place the seedlings layer by layer on the shelf boards, and then transport these seedlings to the field for transplanting by mechanical or manual means.
[0004] Although this fixed multi-layer rack structure improves the transportation capacity of seedlings to a certain extent, can carry a large number of seedlings, and is suitable for a certain scale of planting operations, it has some obvious defects: Since the shelf boards are fixed, workers need to operate layer by layer when loading or unloading seedlings. This not only increases the labor intensity but also takes a long time. Especially in the face of large-scale planting, the efficiency is low, and it has a strong dependence on human resources. During transportation, since the seedlings need to be manually placed or removed, it is inevitable that the seedlings will be subjected to uneven pressure or improper placement. Especially during transportation, the fixed rack structure cannot effectively cope with vibrations or uneven road surfaces, easily causing the seedlings to shake, and even slide or tilt, resulting in damage to the seedlings, thereby affecting the subsequent transplanting survival rate.
[0005] Therefore, the existing fixed multi-layer rack rice seedling transportation device cannot meet the needs of large-scale and efficient rice planting due to problems such as lack of automation, cumbersome operation, and high risk of seedling damage, and there is an urgent need for an improved rice seedling transportation device to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The utility model aims to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.
[0007] For this reason, the technical solution adopted by the present utility model is as follows: a rice seedling transporting device, including a transporting trailer, a seedling rack and a number of seedling supporting seats. The seedling rack is fixedly installed on the top surface of the transporting trailer. The seedling rack includes a standing frame, a transmission chain and a transmission wheel. The transmission chain is driven through the transmission wheel. The surface of the transmission wheel is provided with tooth grooves, and the transmission chain meshes with the tooth grooves of the transmission wheel to ensure the stability of the transmission. The seedling supporting seat includes a supporting plate and a lifting rod. Both ends of the supporting plate are fixedly connected to the lifting rod through a rotating connecting piece, which can realize the rotating structure of the seedling supporting seat and ensure the stability of the rice seedlings during loading, unloading and handling.
[0008] The present utility model can be further configured in a preferred example as follows:
[0009] A driving motor for driving the transmission wheel to rotate is fixedly installed on the surface of the standing frame. The driving motor is controlled to start and stop through a controller. A sensor group is installed on the surface of the standing frame for detecting the state of the rice seedlings on the seedling supporting seat. When the sensor detects that there are rice seedlings on the bottommost seedling supporting seat, the controller automatically starts the driving motor to make the transmission chain rotate, realizing the automatic switching of the seedling supporting seats.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the automatic switching of the seedling supporting seats can be realized, reducing manual intervention and improving the seedling transporting efficiency, which is applicable to the seedling handling in large-scale rice planting operations.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the transporting capacity of rice seedlings can be significantly improved. Especially during large-scale operations, the synchronous handling of multiple groups of rice seedlings can be realized, improving the operation efficiency.
[0014] The present utility model can be further configured in a preferred example as follows:
[0015] The supporting plate of the seedling supporting seat is connected to the lifting rod through a rotating connecting piece. The supporting plate can maintain a stable horizontal state during transportation, reducing the shaking during transportation, ensuring the stable placement of the rice seedlings, and preventing the damage of the rice seedlings caused by vibration or inclination.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the stability of the rice seedlings during transportation can be guaranteed, effectively reducing the damage of the rice seedlings during transportation and improving the survival rate of rice seedling transplantation.
[0017] The present utility model can be further configured in a preferred example as follows:
[0018] The sensor group can automatically determine whether the seedling support needs to be replaced according to the seedling state. The drive motor is only started when necessary, reducing the idling of the motor and energy waste, and improving the energy utilization rate of the equipment.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the energy consumption during the operation of the equipment can be reduced, the energy use efficiency in the seedling transportation operation can be optimized, and the operation cost can be reduced.
[0020] The present utility model can be further configured in a preferred example as follows:
[0021] The surface of the conveyor chain is provided with a number of uniformly distributed moving plates, and both ends of the seedling support (300) are rotatably installed on the surface of the moving plates through lifting rods. The conveyor chain and the conduction wheel are driven by tooth groove meshing to ensure stable transmission during the process of switching the seedling support, avoiding jamming or deviation, and ensuring the long-term reliable operation of the device.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the reliability and durability of the device can be improved, the equipment failures caused by unstable transmission can be reduced, and the service life of the device can be extended.
[0023] The present utility model can be further configured in a preferred example as follows:

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, it can flexibly adapt to different working environments, facilitating the transportation and transplanting operations of seedlings during the rice planting process.
[0026] The beneficial effects obtained by the present utility model are as follows:
[0027] 1. In the present utility model, the seedling support is designed as a rotatable structure, and through the cooperation of the support plate and the lifting rod, stable loading and flexible rotation are achieved, facilitating the loading, unloading and conveying of seedlings.

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the specific implementation manners and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present utility model and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.
[0038] It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.
[0039] The following describes a rice seedling transport device provided by some embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0040] Combined with Figures 1 - 4 As shown, a rice seedling transport device provided by the present utility model includes a seedling transport trailer 100, a seedling rack 200 and a plurality of seedling supports 300. The seedling rack 200 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the seedling transport trailer 100 and is used for loading and transporting rice seedlings. The seedling rack 200 includes a standing frame 210, a conveyor chain 220 and a conduction wheel 211 rotatably installed on the surface of the standing frame 210. The conveyor chain 220 realizes continuous transmission through the conduction wheel 211. The surface of the conduction wheel 211 is provided with tooth grooves, and the conveyor chain 220 meshes with the tooth grooves on the surface of the conduction wheel 211 for transmission, ensuring the stability of the transmission and the reliability of the transportation.
[0041] As Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, a driving motor 230 for driving the conduction wheel 211 to rotate is fixedly installed on the surface of the standing frame 210. The driving motor 230 is electrically connected to the controller, and the start and stop of the driving motor 230 are controlled by the controller to achieve precise control of the conveyor chain 220. The meshing transmission between the conveyor chain 220 and the conduction wheel 211 can ensure the smooth switching of the seedling support base 300 and make the seedling conveying more efficient.
[0042] As Figure 4 shown, the seedling support base 300 includes a support plate 310 and a lifting rod 320. Both ends of the support plate 310 are fixedly connected to the lifting rod 320 through a rotating connector 311. The support plate 310 is used to carry rice seedlings, and the lifting rod 320 is used to lift the support plate 310 to realize the rotational structure design of the seedling support base 300, so that it remains stable during the loading, unloading and conveying processes. During the conveying process, the support plate 310 can maintain a drooping horizontal state under the action of gravity to ensure the stable placement of rice seedlings.
[0043] As Figure 3 shown, a sensor group 212 is fixedly installed on the surface of the standing frame 210. The output end of the sensor group 212 is electrically connected to the controller for detecting the state of rice seedlings on the seedling support base 300. When the sensor group 212 detects that there are rice seedlings on the lowermost seedling support base 300, the controller controls the driving motor 230 to drive the conveyor chain 220 to rotate, and automatically switches the seedling support base 300. This automatic detection and switching function can effectively reduce manual operation and improve work efficiency.
[0044] In this embodiment, the seedling frame 200 is composed of a plurality of standing frames 210 arranged side by side. Each standing frame 210 is independently equipped with a conveyor chain 220 and a driving motor 230. A number of uniformly distributed moving plates 221 are provided on the surface of the conveyor chain 220, and both ends of the seedling support base 300 are rotatably installed on the surface of the moving plates 221 through the lifting rod 320. This design can process multiple groups of seedlings simultaneously in a single operation, improve the conveying efficiency, and is suitable for large-scale rice transplanting operations.
[0045] As in the foregoing embodiment, the sensor group 212 can monitor the state of rice seedlings on the seedling support base 300 in real time. Only when it is necessary to replace the seedling support base 300, the driving motor 230 will be started to drive the conveyor chain 220 to switch, ensuring the minimum energy consumption of the system, effectively reducing the idling of the motor, and improving the energy efficiency.
[0046] The seedling support base 300 is designed as a rotatable structure. Both ends of the support plate 310 are connected to the lifting rod 320 through a rotating connector 311, ensuring that the seedling support base 300 can rotate flexibly when loading, unloading and conveying rice seedlings. The seedling support base 300 maintains a drooping horizontal state under the action of gravity during the conveying process, ensuring that the rice seedlings are always stably placed, and reducing the damage to the seedlings caused by vibration or inclination during the transportation process.
