Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal herb cultivation technology, and more specifically, to a medicinal herb transplanting and seedling delivery device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern agricultural production, the cultivation of medicinal herbs typically involves two main steps: seedling raising and transplanting. Traditional transplanting methods rely heavily on manual labor, which is not only inefficient and labor-intensive but also prone to damaging seedlings, affecting the growth quality and yield of the medicinal herbs. With the improvement of agricultural mechanization, various automated and semi-automated transplanting equipment have been gradually developed to improve transplanting efficiency and survival rate.

[0003] However, existing transplanting equipment still has some problems in practical applications. For example, some equipment cannot effectively secure seedlings during transplanting, causing them to easily fall off or be damaged during movement. Additionally, existing equipment is not adaptable to seedlings of different sizes or shapes, requiring manual adjustment of the securing devices, which increases the complexity of the operation. Furthermore, the seedling delivery mechanism of some transplanting equipment is not well-designed, easily leading to seedling blockage or uneven arrangement, affecting the subsequent transplanting effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this utility model addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by proposing a seedling placement and delivery device for transplanting medicinal materials, aiming to solve at least one of the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model provides a medicinal herb transplanting and seedling delivery device, comprising: a conveyor belt, the conveyor belt being sleeved on two rotating shafts, the center lines of the two conveyor belts coinciding, a sensing component being provided on the rotating shafts, a plurality of mounting seats being arranged at intervals along the center line of the conveyor belt, a protrusion being provided on the mounting seat, an external thread being provided around the side wall of the protrusion, and the bottom of the mounting seat being fixedly connected to the conveyor belt;

[0006] A fixing component is provided, and multiple fixing components are provided corresponding to the mounting base. The bottom of the fixing component is connected to the top of the mounting base, and an identification component is provided on the fixing component.

[0010] In some embodiments, the protrusion and the mounting base are an integral structure.

[0011] In some embodiments, the fixing component includes:

[0012] A connecting base, the bottom of which is connected to the top of the mounting base;

[0013] The clamping assembly has two clamping assemblies arranged symmetrically about the connecting seat, and the two clamping assemblies are disposed on the top of the connecting seat.

[0014] In some embodiments, the bottom of the connector is provided with a groove corresponding to the protrusion.

[0015] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the groove is provided with an internal thread that matches the external thread.

[0016] In some embodiments, the clamping assembly includes:

[0017] An electric telescopic column is provided, wherein the electric telescopic column is arranged horizontally, the mounting end of the electric telescopic column is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting seat, and the identification component is fixedly connected to the mounting end of the electric telescopic column.

[0018] The clamping plate has its sidewalls fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic column, and its transverse cross-section is an arc-shaped structure.

[0019] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the clamping plate is rectangular.

In addition, the seedling delivery mechanism of some transplanting equipment is not designed reasonably, easily leading to seedling blockage or uneven arrangement, affecting the subsequent transplanting effect.

[0035] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a seedling transplanting and placement device for medicinal herbs. Through an automated conveyor belt and fixing components, it enables continuous and rapid seedling transplanting, significantly improving transplanting efficiency and reducing manpower requirements. The fixing components securely hold the seedlings in place, preventing squeezing or collisions during transplanting, reducing the risk of seedling damage, and contributing to higher seedling survival rates. The device's flexible design allows for adjustment of the fixing components to accommodate seedlings of different sizes and shapes, enhancing its versatility and applicability. The electrically operated telescopic column design ensures smoother and more reliable seedling release, reducing operational complexity and making it easier for operators to master and use. The automated transplanting process reduces reliance on manual labor, which, in the long run, can lower production costs and improve the economic benefits of agricultural production.
