DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0017] Example

[0018] This embodiment provides a transplanting assembly, which is applied to a plant transplanter, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the transplanting assembly includes a support assembly and a shovel assembly. One end of the support assembly is connected to the plant transplanter's robotic arm, while the other end of the support assembly is an openable ring structure. Multiple shovel assemblies are arranged around the support assembly's openable ring structure. The ring structure's opening and closing is controlled by a hydraulic cylinder, with the shovel assemblies evenly distributed around its perimeter. When the robotic arm moves the device to the target plant, the ring structure opens, and the shovel assemblies maneuver around the plant's roots, ensuring the root system remains intact during transplantation.

[0019] Specifically, in this embodiment, the support assembly includes a support link 1, a transplanter connecting shaft 2, an annular structure fixed section 3, and an annular structure movable section 4. One end of the support link 1 is connected to the transplanter's robotic arm via the transplanter connecting shaft 2, and the other end of the support link 1 is connected to the outer side of the annular structure fixed section 3. One end of the annular structure movable section 4 is rotationally connected to one end of the annular structure fixed section 3, and the other end of the annular structure movable section 4 is buckled with the other end of the annular structure fixed section 3. Multiple groups of shovel assemblies are located on the outer edges of the annular structure fixed section 3 and the annular structure movable section 4. One end of the support link 1 is connected to the transplanter's robotic arm via the transplanter connecting shaft 2, and the other end is fixed to the annular structure fixed section 3. During operation, the transplanter's robotic arm is used to move the device to the plant position, and the annular structure is opened or closed by controlling the annular structure opening and closing hydraulic cylinder 5, allowing the shovel assemblies to perform transplanting operations around the plant roots.

[0020] In this embodiment, the rotational connection between the fixed and movable segments 3 and 4 of the annular structure is driven by an annular opening and closing hydraulic cylinder 5. Connecting lugs are located outside the rotational connection points of both segments. One end of the annular opening and closing hydraulic cylinder 5 is rotatably connected to the connecting lug of the fixed segment 3, while the connecting lug of the movable segment 4 is rotatably connected to the other end of the annular opening and closing hydraulic cylinder 5. The annular structure consists of a fixed segment and a movable segment, and its opening and closing are controlled by the annular opening and closing hydraulic cylinder 5. The fixed and movable segments 3 and 4 are connected by connecting lugs. One end of the hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the connecting lug of the fixed segment, while the other end is connected to the connecting lug of the movable segment. When the hydraulic cylinder retracts, the movable segment opens, forming a gap; when the hydraulic cylinder extends, the movable segment closes with the fixed segment, enclosing the plant roots. This design allows the annular structure to open and close flexibly, ensuring a smooth transplanting process.

[0021] In this embodiment, the shovel assembly includes a shovel mechanism lifting frame 6, a shovel blade mounting rail 7, a shovel blade lifting hydraulic cylinder 8, and a shovel blade 9. The lower end of the shovel mechanism lifting frame 6 is connected to the outer edge of the annular structure fixed section 3 or the outer edge of the annular structure movable section 4. The shovel blade mounting rail 7 is mounted on the shovel mechanism lifting frame 6 and is slidably connected to the shovel mechanism lifting frame 6. The outer side of the shovel blade mounting rail 7 is connected to the inner side of the upper section of the shovel blade 9. The shovel blade lifting hydraulic cylinder 8 is located between the upper end of the shovel mechanism lifting frame 6 and the shovel blade mounting rail 7. The shovel mechanism lifting frame 6 is fixed to the outer edge of the annular structure. The shovel blade mounting rail 7 is mounted on the lifting frame 6 and is slidably connected to the upper section of the shovel blade 9. The shovel blade lifting hydraulic cylinder 8 is located between the lifting frame 6 and the rail 7. The shovel mechanism lifting frame 6 is fixed to the outer edge of the annular structure. The shovel blade mounting rail 7 is mounted on the lifting frame 6 and is slidably connected to the upper section of the shovel blade 9. The shovel blade lifting hydraulic cylinder 8 is located between the lifting frame 6 and the rail 7. By controlling the hydraulic cylinder 8, the shovel blade 9 can be moved up and down on the rail. When the annular structure is closed, the shovel plate 9 is inserted into the soil under the push of the hydraulic cylinder 8, and cuts around the roots of the plants to ensure the complete separation of the roots from the soil.

[0022] Therefore, the main use process of the above transplanting assembly is as follows:

[0023] When in use, the transplanting assembly is first connected to a transplanting machine (such as a tractor) via the transplanting machine connecting shaft 2, and the entire transplanting assembly is moved to the vicinity of the plants that need to be transplanted.

[0024] Next, the annular structure opening and closing hydraulic cylinder 5 is retracted, creating a gap between the other ends of the annular structure fixed section 3 and the annular structure movable section 4. The moving device then moves the plant to be transplanted through the opening between the annular structure fixed section 3 and the annular structure movable section 4 to the middle position. At this point, the annular structure opening and closing hydraulic cylinder 5 is extended to push the annular structure fixed section 3 and the annular structure movable section 4 together, closing the annular structure fixed section 3 and the annular structure movable section 4. Next, multiple shovel plate lifting hydraulic cylinders 8 are simultaneously activated, pushing the shovel plate mounting rails 7 downward, inserting the shovel plate into the soil around the plant to be transplanted.

[0025] Finally, when multiple shovels 9 are inserted into the soil near the roots of the plants at the same time, the roots of the plants are separated from the soil. At this time, the transplanter moves the support link 1 and the entire device upward together with the plants to achieve plant transplanting.

[0026] According to the above embodiments, the present invention can be better implemented.
