Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of machinery, and particularly relates to a seedling pulling mechanism. Background Art
[0002] The prior art patent CN114568082A discloses a rice transplanter. The seedling pulling mechanism adopted by the rice transplanter includes a seedling pulling mechanism bracket, a cam disc, 16 seedling dividing grid plates, and a roller; the cam disc and the seedling dividing grid plates are fixed on the seedling pulling mechanism bracket, and the roller is rotatably installed on the seedling pulling mechanism bracket. The seedling clamping assembly includes a sliding rod, 5 clamping plate sliding sleeves, and 5 return springs. The clamping plate sliding sleeves are installed on the sliding rod at intervals, and a roller is installed at the end of the sliding rod, and the roller abuts against the cam disc. The prior art has the following technical defects: First, since the cam disc of this technology is a cylindrical cam, the cylindrical cam is a fixed part, and the roller can only rotate around its own axis. The axis of the roller intersects with the axis of the roller. When the roller drives the sliding rod to rotate around the axis of the roller, the roller not only rotates around its own axis, but also revolves around the axis of the roller. There is not only rolling friction but also sliding friction between the mating surface of the roller and the cylindrical cam, which aggravates the wear of the mating surface of the roller and the cylindrical cam. In addition, the reaction force of the cylindrical cam on the sliding rod will cause the sliding rod to rotate by itself. Second, the roller is an integral structure, which is difficult to process and assemble, and the manufacturing cost is high. Summary of the Utility Model

The first plane profile surface 301 is used to keep the seedlings in a completely released state. The second curve profile surface 302 is used to move the seedling clamping push rod 8 to the right under the action of the elastic force of the return spring 80 and quickly clamp the seedlings. The second plane profile surface is used to keep the seedlings in a completely clamped state. The central angle R4 of the first plane profile surface 301 is greater than the central angle R2 of the second plane profile surface. The central angle R3 of the first curve profile surface 300 is more than twice the central angle R1 of the second curve profile surface 302.

The first curve profile surface 300 overcomes the elastic force of the return spring 80 to push the ball 10 and the seedling clamping push rod 8 to move to the left, the moving seedling clamping plate 81 moves to the left, and the gap between the moving seedling clamping plate 81 and the fixed seedling clamping plate 61 increases, and the seedling is slowly released to achieve the slow loosening process; then, the ball 10 is located on the first plane profile surface 301, and the seedling remains completely loose to achieve a long-term loose state; then, the ball 10 is located on the second curve profile surface 302, and under the action of the elastic force of the return spring 80, the seedling clamping push rod 8 moves to the right, the gap between the moving seedling clamping plate 81 and the fixed seedling clamping plate 61 decreases, and the seedling is quickly clamped to achieve the quick clamping process; finally, the roller shaft 1 continues to rotate, the ball 10 is located on the second plane profile surface, and the seedling remains completely clamped, and the seedling is slowly pulled out to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the seedling pulling process, quickly picking and slowly releasing, without damaging the seedling.
