[0042] In this specific embodiment, the seedling pushing device 3 includes a seedling pushing bracket 31, a seedling pushing cylinder 32, a guide plate 33, and a guide post 34. The seedling pushing bracket 31 is installed on the base 61 of the main frame 6. The tail end of the cylinder of the seedling pushing cylinder 32 is connected to the seedling pushing bracket 31. The front end of the telescopic rod of the seedling pushing cylinder 32 is connected to two guide plates 33 through a hinge shaft. The seedling clamping device 4 is set at the front end of the guide plate 33. The bottom of the two guide plates 33 is provided with a guide groove 35. The guide post 34 is set on the seedling pushing bracket 31. The guide plate 33 achieves guidance by cooperating with the guide post 34 through the guide groove 35 at the bottom.
[0043] In this specific embodiment, the seedling clamping device 4 includes a seedling clamping plate 41 and a seedling clamping cylinder 42.

The seedling clamping cylinder 42 drives the movable seedling clamping plate 41 to move closer to or away from the fixed seedling clamping plate 41. During operation, the seedling pushing cylinder 32 is activated, pushing the seedling pushing frame forward, thereby driving the seedling clamping plate 41 and the seedling clamping cylinder 42 forward. During the forward extension, the seedling clamping cylinder 42 is activated, and the seedling clamping plate 41 clamps the seedling 7 and extends forward. During this process, the seedling pushing frame slides along the seedling pushing guide post 34. The seedling extraction operation is completed.
[0044] In this specific embodiment, the seedling delivery device 5 includes a seedling delivery power unit 51, two seedling delivery rollers 52 and a seedling delivery bracket 53. The seedling delivery bracket 53 is located at the front end of the base 61 of the main frame 6. The two seedling delivery rollers 52 are supported by the seedling delivery bracket 53 and are arranged opposite each other. A seedling delivery channel is formed between the two seedling delivery rollers 52. The two seedling delivery rollers 52 are driven by the seedling delivery power unit 51.
[0045] In this specific embodiment, the seedling delivery power unit 51 includes two drive motors rotating in opposite directions. The power output shafts of the two drive motors are respectively connected to two seedling delivery rollers 52. During operation, the drive motors drive the two seedling delivery rollers 52 to rotate relative to each other, thereby conveying the seedlings 7 that have been delivered to the plant and completing the seedling extraction operation.
[0046] The automatic seedling delivery device of this invention operates as follows:
[0047] The angle of the seedling baffle 12 is adjusted by adjusting the screw according to the actual size of the planted seedlings. Seedlings are placed in the seedling storage device 1. Once the seedlings are fully stored, continuous seedling feeding can begin. After continuous feeding begins, the seedling shaking device 2 is activated to loosen the seedlings 7, improving the uniformity of seedling distribution 7 in the clamping area each time, facilitating the operation of the clamping device 4. After the clamping device 4 clamps the seedling 7, the pushing device 3 pushes it out, and the seedling 7 is pushed into the seedling feeding device 5. Simultaneously, the clamping device 4 is released and falls to a clearance position. Then, the pushing device 3 begins to move towards its initial position. Before retracting to its initial position, the clamping device 4 quickly returns to its clamping area, and the pushing device 3 retracts to its initial position. The seedling 7 is then fed out by the seedling feeding device 5, completing one operation cycle (e.g., ...). Figure 8 (As shown). The seedling delivery device 5 consists of two sets of rollers that work continuously to ensure that the seedlings 7 are pushed over and delivered in a timely manner. The seedling shaking device 2, the seedling clamping device 4, and the seedling pushing device 3 reciprocate in motion. After completing one cycle, they continue to work sequentially. When the seedling pushing device 3 returns to its original position, the seedling shaking device 2 starts up again.
[0048] This utility model uses specific examples to illustrate its principles and implementation methods. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
