Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seedling transportation, and in particular to a seedling transportation device. Background Technology
[0002] An existing patent (publication number: CN110999746A) proposes a protective sleeve device for seedling transportation, including a base, on which a first moving device is provided. The first moving device includes a lead screw, a sliding block, a first support rod, a cylinder, a second support rod, and a limiting plate. The lead screw passes through the sliding block, and the first support rod is hinged to the upper end of the sliding block. However, the upper part of this device does not have a structure to clamp the position of the tree trunk. During transportation, the seedling tilts inside the device, causing the device to be unstable. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a seedling transport device that allows adjustment of both the spacing and vertical height of the first and second clamps. When in use, the soil clump of the seedling is placed in the root support hopper, and the trunk is positioned inside the first and second clamps.
[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A seedling transport device includes a root support hopper, support legs, movable wheels, a rotating support plate, a first clamping plate, a second clamping plate, a first sliding rod, a second sliding rod, a limiting crossbar, a rotating clamping plate, and a fixing plate. The root support hopper has an upper support plate at its top, and the upper parts of the support legs are connected to the upper support plate. Multiple support legs are evenly distributed on the axial side of the root support hopper. The lower parts of the support legs are connected to movable wheels, and the lower parts of the side connecting ears are connected to the upper support plate. The lower part of the rotating support plate fits against the side connecting ears and is connected to the side connecting ears via a rotating shaft. The rotating support plate is partially distributed on the upper plate of the support hopper and has a T-shaped groove. The side of the first clamping plate is connected to the second rotating shaft, and the second rotating shaft is connected to the first sliding rod. The side of the first sliding rod has a first sliding rod side ball, which is adapted to the T-shaped groove. The first sliding rod side ball is inserted into the T-shaped groove and slides within the T-shaped groove.
[0006] The second clamping plate is connected to the second connecting plate on its side, and the second connecting plate is connected to the second sliding rod on its side. The second sliding rod has a second sliding rod side ball on its side, which is adapted to the T-shaped sliding groove. The second sliding rod side ball is inserted into the T-shaped sliding groove and slides in the T-shaped sliding groove. The inner and outer diameters of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are the same.
[0007] The first clamp has a first sliding rod side ball at both ends, and the second clamp has a second clamp side plate at both ends. The second clamp side plate is adapted to the side groove of the first clamp. The second clamp side plate is inserted into the side groove of the first clamp and slides in the side groove of the first clamp. The tree trunk is placed in the first clamp and the second clamp. The side of the second connecting plate is connected to a limiting crossbar.
[0008] The lower part of the fixed plate is connected to the upper plate of the support bucket. The side of the fixed plate has a fixed plate side sleeve, and the side of the rotating plate has a plate side sleeve. The fixed plate side sleeve and the plate side sleeve are in contact. The plate side sleeve is connected to the fixed plate side sleeve through the second rotating shaft. The rotating plate has multiple plate side slots, and the fixed plate has a strip-shaped clearance groove. The limiting crossbar passes through the strip-shaped clearance groove and the plate side slot in sequence.
[0009] The rotating support plate has a strip-shaped clearance hole. The lower part of the vertical insertion rod is connected to the arc-shaped support plate. The vertical insertion rod is adapted to the strip-shaped clearance hole and passes through it. The vertical insertion rod slides within the strip-shaped clearance hole. The vertical insertion rod is connected to a set of limiting top balls. The limiting top balls are in contact with the rotating support plate. The lower part of the threaded rod is connected to the upper plate of the support bucket. The threaded rod passes through the arc-shaped support plate. The threaded support sleeve is connected to the threaded rod by threads. The upper surface of the threaded support sleeve is in contact with the arc-shaped support plate. Beneficial effects
[0010] 1. The lower part of the support leg of this utility model is connected to a movable wheel. The support leg and movable wheel support the tree root support bucket, making the tree root support bucket easy to move, thereby facilitating the transport of trees by the device. The lower part of the rotating support plate is connected to the side connecting ear through a rotating shaft, so that the lower part of the rotating support plate is connected to the upper plate shaft of the support bucket. The rotating support plate can be rotated to adjust the tilt angle. The first clamping plate, the second rotating shaft, and the first sliding rod form a first clamping claw. The second clamping plate, the second connecting plate, and the second sliding rod form a second clamping claw. The side ball of the first sliding rod is inserted into the T-shaped sliding groove, and the second... The sliding bar side ball is inserted into the T-shaped sliding groove, so that the No. 1 and No. 2 clamps are respectively installed on a set of rotating support plates and can slide up and down with the length of the T-shaped sliding groove. The No. 2 clamp side plate is inserted into the No. 1 clamp side groove to ensure that the No. 1 and No. 2 clamps are horizontal. This prevents the two from tilting during seedling transportation, which has a poor effect on straightening the tree trunk. The fixing plate is installed and fixed on the upper plate of the support bucket. The clamp side sleeve is connected to the fixing plate side sleeve through the No. 2 rotating shaft, so that the rotating clamp is installed on the fixing plate. The rotating clamp can rotate. The limiting crossbar is installed on the No. 2 clamp.
[0011] 2. In this utility model, the limiting crossbar passes sequentially through the strip-shaped clearance groove and the side groove of the clamping plate. Rotating the clamping plate vertically positions the limiting crossbar, thereby vertically positioning the first and second clamping claws. This fixes the first and second clamping plates in a vertical position between a set of rotating support plates. Rotating the clamping plate allows the limiting crossbar to slide out of the side groove of the clamping plate, further adjusting the positions of the first and second clamping plates on the set of rotating support plates. A vertical insertion rod is installed on the arc-shaped support plate, and a threaded rod is installed and fixed on the upper plate of the supporting bucket. The threaded rod passes through the arc-shaped support plate and positions the arc-shaped support plate. A threaded support sleeve is threadedly connected to the threaded rod. The curved support plate provides support, fixing its vertical position and controlling the vertical movement of the vertical rod. This, in turn, controls the tilt of the rotating support plate, allowing a set of rotating support plates to rotate simultaneously in opposite directions. When the height of the first clamp plate remains constant, the tilt angle of the rotating support plate can be adjusted to regulate the distance between the first and second clamps. Alternatively, the height of the first and second clamps can be adjusted according to the height of the sapling. This device can adjust both the distance and the vertical height of the first and second clamps. When using this device, place the soil ball of the sapling in the root support hopper and position the trunk inside the first and second clamps. Attached Figure Description
