[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0022] The present embodiment provides an innovative crop cotton plant transplanting machine, which combines Figure 1 , Figure 2 The schematic diagram, the transplanting machine integrates multiple key components to realize efficient and accurate cotton seedling 9 transplanting operation. The following is a detailed description of each part:

[0023] Main frame 1: As the supporting structure of the entire transplanter, the main frame 1 is designed to be sturdy and durable, capable of effectively connecting to a tractor 6 and bearing various forces and vibrations during operation. Made of high-strength steel, the main frame 1 ensures the stability and durability of the overall structure. Its design also takes into account the need for easy maintenance and adjustment, allowing users to make necessary adjustments and optimizations based on operating conditions.

[0024] Elastic ditching device 2: This device is installed at the bottom of the front end of the main frame 1, utilizing the cushioning effect of springs or elastic elements to open planting trenches 8 as the tractor 6 advances, providing a good foundation for subsequent seedling planting and fertilization operations.

[0025] Seedling planting device 3: The seedling planting device 3 installed at the rear end of the main frame 1 is designed with a cotton seedling 9 storage area and a precise seedling planting mechanism to store cotton seedlings 9 and sequentially plant them into the planting trenches 8.

[0026] Fertilization device 4: The fertilization device 4 is cleverly installed on the main frame 1 behind the seedling planting device 3 to ensure simultaneous fertilization of the cotton seedlings 9 in the planting trenches 8 while planting seedlings.

[0027] Soil covering device 5: The soil covering device 5 installed at the bottom of the main frame 1 is located behind the seedling planting device 3 and is responsible for covering and backfilling the planting trenches 8 after planting and fertilization are completed, uniformly covering the soil over the cotton seedlings 9 and fertilizer to provide a good growing environment for the cotton seedlings 9.

[0028] In summary, the crop cotton seedling transplanter provided in this embodiment integrates key components such as the main frame 1, elastic ditching device 2, seedling planting device 3, fertilization device 4, and soil covering device 5, achieving efficient and precise cotton seedling 9 transplanting operations. This transplanter not only improves transplanting efficiency and accuracy but also optimizes soil management and fertilizer utilization, providing strong support for the healthy growth and bountiful harvest of crops.

[0029] In another more optimized implementation, the crop cotton seedling transplanter adds a drip irrigation tape device 10 to the main frame 1, aiming to further improve irrigation efficiency and water resource utilization after transplanting. Specifically, as the elastic ditching device 2 advances with the tractor 6 and opens planting trenches 8, the drip irrigation tape device 10 can simultaneously lay drip irrigation tape 103 in the trenches, laying a solid foundation for subsequent precise irrigation.

[0030] Referring to Figure 3, the core components of the drip irrigation tape device 10 include a winding roller 101, which is stably mounted on the main frame 1 through a first supporting arm 102. The winding roller 101 is pre-wound with a sufficient length of drip irrigation tape 103, ensuring that there is no need for frequent replacement or replenishment during continuous operation. To ensure that the winding roller 101 can release the drip irrigation tape 103 smoothly and continuously, we use a motor to drive its rotation, or, as a more energy-efficient alternative, we can connect the winding roller 101 to the rotating shaft of the vertical knife rotary tillage mechanism through a belt, using the power generated during vertical knife rotary tillage to drive the winding roller 101 to rotate; To achieve accurate laying and positioning of the drip irrigation tape 103, a vertically downward second supporting arm 104 is specially connected to the lower part of the main frame 1. The bottom end of the second supporting arm 104 is not only equipped with a traction and sliding pulley 105 for guiding the smooth laying of the drip irrigation tape 103 along the direction of the planting trench 8, but also provided with a compacting roller 106. The compacting roller 106 plays a crucial role in immediately flattening the drip irrigation tape 103 after it is laid, ensuring that the drip irrigation tape 103 adheres to the trench bottom, preventing it from being blown up or displaced by the wind, and also promoting the close contact between the drip irrigation tape 103 and the soil, which is conducive to the uniform penetration and absorption of water.

[0031] In a specific embodiment, the core components of the elastic trenching device 2 include a solid base 201 and a trenching knife 202. The base 201 serves as the supporting structure of the entire device, and is made of high-strength and wear-resistant materials to ensure stability and durability during long-term operation. The base 201 is ingeniously designed with a recess, which not only facilitates the installation and removal of the trenching knife 202, but also provides stable support for the trenching knife 202, preventing it from shaking or deviating during operation.

[0032] The trenching knife 202 adopts a wedge-shaped design with a sharp tip, which allows the trenching knife 202 to easily cut into the soil and create neat and uniform planting trenches 8 along the predetermined path. The tip and both sides of the trenching knife 202 are carefully polished with sharp edges, which are sharp and wear-resistant, ensuring efficient cutting ability throughout the operation while reducing soil wear on the trenching knife 202, prolonging its service life.

[0033] The handle of the trenching knife 202 is ingeniously designed to fit into the recess of the base 201 and is detachably connected by bolts. This design allows users to easily replace trenching knives 202 of different specifications or wear levels according to operational needs and soil conditions, thus maintaining the optimal operating state of the transplanting machine. At the same time, the bolt connection ensures the close fit between the trenching knife 202 and the base 201, preventing loosening or falling during operation.

[0034] In addition, the entry gap angle of the furrow opener 202 is precisely set to 5-10 degrees. This angle is selected after rigorous calculation and testing, aiming to ensure that the furrow opener 202 can maintain the optimal cutting angle and cutting efficiency when cutting into the soil, while reducing the resistance of the soil to the furrow opener 202 and reducing energy consumption.

[0035] Finally, the base 201 is firmly connected to the main frame 1 through a third supporting arm. The design of the third supporting arm fully considers the stability and flexibility during operation, ensuring that the furrowing device always maintains a stable posture when moving forward with the tractor 6, while facilitating the user to adjust the height and angle of the furrowing device according to the operation requirements.

[0036] In summary, the elastic furrowing device 2 in this specific embodiment is designed ingeniously and practically, not only improving the efficiency and accuracy of furrowing, but also enhancing the overall performance and adaptability of the transplanting machine. This design not only meets the basic needs of crop transplanting operations, but also provides users with a more convenient and efficient operation experience.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, the seedling feeding device 3 uses a mature automatic feeding vibration plate 301 in the current technical field, so its structure is not described in the specification and drawings. The outlet end of the automatic feeding vibration plate 301 is connected with a seedling feeding guide rail 302, which is arranged along the direction of travel of the tractor 6, and the end of the seedling feeding guide rail 302 is located in the planting trench 8.

[0038] The automatic feeding vibration plate 301, as a highly automated directional sorting and feeding device, its working principle is based on the vibration principle, which can effectively arrange the disordered seedlings into an orderly and directional arrangement, and accurately deliver them to the next process.

[0039] In specific applications, we ingeniously arrange a number of seedlings in a ring array on the automatic feeding vibration plate 301. With the start of the vibration plate, these seedlings will slowly rise along the carefully designed spiral track under the action of the vibration force. During this process, the seedlings will maintain a stable distance between them, ensuring that they can be delivered to the discharge port in an orderly and orderly manner.

[0040] When the seedlings reach the discharge port, they will be sent one by one and accurately to the seedling feeding guide rail 302. The seedling feeding guide rail 302 serves as a bridge connecting the automatic feeding vibration plate 301 and the planting trench 8, and its design ensures that the seedlings can be placed into the virtual soil layer seedling hole in the planting trench 8 with the best posture and position. This series of automated operations not only greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of transplanting, but also significantly reduces the labor intensity of the operator.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, in order to further improve the survival rate of seedlings, the transplanting machine is also equipped with a fertilizer device 4, which includes a liquid film tank 401 and a spray head 402 connected thereto. After the cotton seedlings 9 are planted, the spray head 402 will first perform appropriate watering and fertilization operations to provide the necessary nutrients and water for the cotton seedlings 9. Subsequently, the soil covering operation is performed. This design not only improves the survival rate of the cotton seedlings 9, but also maximizes the use of resources through gap watering, avoiding unnecessary waste.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, we have designed the soil covering device 5 in detail and ingeniously to ensure that it can meet the efficient operation requirements of the transplanting machine in complex and variable field environments. The soil covering device 5 mainly consists of a bracket and two soil covering discs, each part is carefully designed and optimized to achieve the best soil covering effect.

[0043] The soil covering device 5 includes a bracket and two soil covering discs, the upper end of the bracket is installed on the machine frame, and the soil covering discs are the key components of the soil covering mechanism, which are ingeniously installed at the lower end of the bracket and connected to the bracket in a freely rotating manner. This design allows the soil covering discs to easily lift the soil from the bottom of the trench and evenly cover it on the planted cotton seedlings 9, forming a solid protective layer to provide necessary support and protection for the growth of the cotton seedlings 9.

[0044] It is worth mentioning that the two soil covering discs are designed to be splayed forward in an open eight-shaped layout. This unique layout not only allows the soil covering discs to form a certain angle during operation, making it easier to lift the soil and cover it on the cotton seedlings 9, but also ensures the uniformity and continuity of the soil covering process, avoiding soil accumulation or omission.

[0045] In a specific embodiment, we have further optimized and innovated the design of the machine frame 1 to improve the operational flexibility and convenience of the transplanting machine.

[0046] Firstly, we set a horizontal sliding track 11 on the main machine frame 1. This sliding track 11 not only has a solid structure, but also slides smoothly, providing a solid foundation for the installation and adjustment of the automatic feeding vibration disc 301. It is worth noting that we use multiple automatic feeding vibration discs 301 and install them on the sliding track 11 in a sliding connection manner. This design allows the operator to easily adjust the distance between adjacent automatic feeding vibration discs 301 according to actual planting needs. Whether the number or distance of the planting trenches 8 changes, the operator can easily adjust it to ensure that the cotton seedlings 9 on each automatic feeding vibration disc 301 can be accurately and accurately planted in the corresponding planting trench 8, thereby greatly improving the accuracy and efficiency of the transplanting operation.

[0047] In addition, we also in this slide 11 additional sliding installation a comfortable seat 7. This seat 7 not only for the operating personnel to provide a stable and comfortable work platform, but also let them be able to monitor the transplanting at any time during the operation, to ensure that each cotton seedling 9 can be properly cared for.

[0048] It should be noted that the device structure and the drawings of the present application mainly describe the principle of the present application. In the technical principle of this design, the power mechanism, power supply system and control system of the device are not completely described, and under the premise of understanding the principle of the above-mentioned application by the person skilled in the art, the specific power mechanism, power supply system and control system can be clearly known. The control mode of the application file is automatically controlled by the controller, and the control circuit of the controller can be realized by simple programming of the person skilled in the art.

[0049] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some technical features.
