Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garlic planting technology, and in particular to a duckbill-type upright planter. Background Technology
[0002] China produces approximately 20 million tons of garlic annually, and exports more than 70% of the global total. Garlic makes a significant contribution to increasing farmers' income and generating foreign exchange for the country. As a natural antibiotic, the garlic industry has great development potential.
[0003] In current agricultural production, garlic cultivation relies primarily on manual labor. However, this traditional method is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also directly leads to increased planting costs. More importantly, existing garlic planting machines typically use conveyor belts and scoops to allow garlic cloves to fall freely into the field. This can result in inconsistent orientation of the garlic cloves upon landing, leading to irregular distribution and even upside-down sprouting. While manual cultivation can meet agronomical requirements, it requires prolonged periods of bending or squatting, resulting in high labor intensity and time consumption, thus impacting the efficiency of garlic cultivation. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a duckbill-type upright seeder, comprising: a mounting platform 1, with multiple mounting plates 6 fixedly connected to the lower end of the mounting platform 1, and movable wheels 5 mounted on the lower end of the mounting plates 6; a conveyor belt 2 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the mounting platform 1; a motor mounting frame 12 fixedly connected to the rear end of the mounting platform 1; a single-seed picking mechanism fixedly mounted inside the motor mounting frames 12, the single-seed picking mechanism being located at the upper rear side of the conveyor belt 2; multiple fixing frames 13 fixedly connected to both ends of the mounting platform 1 at the two ends of the conveyor belt 2; a second limiting plate 8 and a first limiting plate 7 fixedly connected to the fixing frame 13; a mounting frame 9 fixedly connected between the first limiting plate 7 and the second limiting plate 8; the two second limiting plates 8 being distributed in a V-shape facing each other; and a correction mechanism being provided inside the mounting frame 9. A planting cylinder 4 is slidably connected to the front end of the conveyor belt 2. Two symmetrically distributed clamping frames 27 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the planting cylinder 4. Two symmetrically distributed inserting duckbill 20 are set between the two clamping frames 27. The clamping frames 27 and the two inserting duckbill 20 are rotatably connected. A driving mechanism is sleeved on the outer periphery of the planting cylinder 4. Through the cooperation of multiple mechanisms, the function of machine planting can be realized to replace manual planting, which can improve the production efficiency of garlic and reduce labor costs. At the same time, two V-shaped opposing second limiting plates 8 can limit the direction of garlic cloves falling from the single seed picker by a certain slope, so that the bud of the garlic clove always points to the axis of the conveyor belt 2, so that the garlic cloves falling on the conveyor belt 2 are no longer disorderly and are easy to correct later.
[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a cylinder 30 is fixedly embedded at the bottom of the mounting platform 1. A sliding frame plate 29 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the cylinder 30. Two sets of symmetrically distributed first fixing rods 31 and second fixing rods 32 are fixedly connected to the front end of the sliding frame plate 29. Two symmetrically distributed guide frames 28 are fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the planting cylinder 4. The guide frames 28 are fixedly connected to the first fixing rods 31 in their corresponding positions. The sliding frame plate 29 can be raised and lowered by the cylinder 30.
[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the driving mechanism includes a sliding sleeve 19 located on the outer periphery of the planting cylinder 4. Two sets of corresponding first mounting brackets 26 are fixedly connected to opposite ends of the sliding sleeve 19 and the planting nozzle 20. A first connecting rod 25 is positioned between adjacent first mounting brackets 26, with both ends of the first connecting rod 25 rotatably connected to its two ends of the first mounting bracket 26. Two symmetrically distributed second connecting brackets 23 are fixedly connected to the top of the sliding sleeve 19. A second connecting rod 24 is rotatably connected inside the second connecting bracket 23. A third mounting bracket 22 is rotatably connected to the end of the second connecting rod 24 away from the second connecting bracket 23. A third connecting rod 33 is rotatably connected inside the third mounting bracket 22. A fourth mounting bracket 21 is fixedly connected to the end of the second fixed rod 32, with the fourth mounting bracket 21 rotatably connected to the end of the third connecting rod 33 away from the third mounting bracket 22. The driving mechanism allows the planting nozzle 20 to open in opposite directions, causing the garlic cloves to fall into the soil.
[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, two symmetrically distributed mounting rods 15 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the mounting platform 1. A guide plate 28 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the mounting rod 15. The guide plate 28 is slidably connected to the sliding plate 29. The guide plate 28 guides the movement of the sliding plate 29, making the movement of the sliding plate 29 more stable.
[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the single-seed picking mechanism includes an outer frame 10 fixedly connected inside the motor mounting bracket 12. A seed picking wheel 18 is rotatably connected inside the outer frame 10. A drive motor 11 is fixedly installed on the side of the seed picking wheel 18. The output end of the drive motor 11 is fixedly connected to the seed picking wheel 18. The top and bottom of the outer frame 10 are both through-holes facing the conveyor belt 2. Each interval of the seed picking wheel 18 can only hold one garlic clove. By rotating the seed picking wheel 18 through the drive motor 11, the garlic cloves reach the through-hole at the bottom of the outer frame 10 and fall onto the conveyor belt 2, so that multiple garlic cloves fall onto the conveyor belt 2 at intervals.
[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a guide plate 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the conveyor belt 2 near the planting cylinder 4. The guide plate 3 is V-shaped and its output port is set towards the planting cylinder 4. The guide plate 3 serves to guide the garlic cloves.
[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the correction mechanism includes a controller 17 fixedly installed on the inner side of the top of the mounting frame 9, and a robotic arm 14 is provided at the lower end of the controller 17, which can be used to correct the garlic cloves.
[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an image recognizer 16 is fixedly installed inside the mounting frame 9. The image recognizer 16 is electrically connected to the controller 17. Data is transmitted from the image recognizer 16 to the controller 17, making the correction of the robot arm 14 more accurate.
[0031] Working principle: When planting garlic cloves, the garlic clove storage container is secured to the upper end of the outer frame 10. The garlic cloves fall through the outer frame 10 onto the seed-collecting wheel 18. Each interval of the seed-collecting wheel 18 can only hold one garlic clove. The rotation of the seed-collecting wheel 18 by the drive motor 11 causes the garlic cloves to reach the lower end of the outer frame 10 and fall onto the conveyor belt 2. Multiple garlic cloves fall intermittently onto the conveyor belt 2 and are conveyed to the lower end of the mounting frame 9. The image recognition device 16 transmits the garlic clove orientation information to the controller 17 for judgment. The robotic arm 14 adjusts the garlic clove orientation, and then the guide plate 3 guides the garlic cloves to fall into the planting cylinder 4. After falling into the cylinder, the garlic cloves cannot be flipped due to space limitations, so their position does not change significantly at this stage until they fall to the bottom of the planting nozzle 20. Then, the cylinder 30 causes the planting nozzle 20 to slide and descend on the guide plate 28. The guide plate 28 guides the movement of the sliding plate 29, allowing the sliding plate 29 to move. The movement of the 9 is more stable. When the sliding frame plate 29 descends, it drives the planting cylinder 4 to descend through the first fixed rod 31 and the guide frame plate 28. When the planting cylinder 4 descends, the angle of the third connecting rod 33 and the second connecting rod 24 changes, causing the sliding sleeve 19 to press down. With the cooperation of the first connecting rod 25, the planting duckbill 20 opens in opposite directions, allowing the garlic cloves to fall into the soil. Then the cylinder 30 resets, causing the planting cylinder 4 and the sliding sleeve 19 to return to their original positions, and the planting duckbill 20 closes again. This interval is set to correspond to the conveying interval of the conveyor belt 2, so that the planting duckbill 20 is in a closed state after the conveyor belt 2 conveys the garlic cloves. After moving the position, this process is repeated to realize the function of upright planting of garlic cloves to meet agronomic needs. This utility model can replace manual planting with the device, improve the production efficiency of garlic, reduce labor costs, and enable upright planting of garlic cloves, improve the quality and quality of garlic scapes and garlic bulbs, resulting in higher garlic weight, lower garlic bulb deformity rate, and increased total yield.
[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
