[0002] The fully automatic tracked chili seedling planter is a planting machine that moves as a whole by means of tracked wheels, so that chili seedlings are the objects to be planted.

[0003] With social development and the advancement of agricultural technology, the scale of agricultural product cultivation has also increased. Existing cultivation technologies cannot meet the current scale of cultivation and also have certain drawbacks, such as the inability to fully automate and inconvenient maintenance.

[0004] Currently, the chili seedling planters sold on the market require manual seeding, and traditional manual planting cannot accurately guarantee the planting depth and spacing. The automation level is relatively low, and the planting effect is relatively poor. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fully automatic tracked chili seedling planter to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A fully automatic tracked chili seedling planter includes a frame and track wheels mounted on the frame;

[0008] The vehicle frame is equipped with a feed hopper, a seedling separating mechanism, a steering mechanism, and a seedling mechanism arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the chili seedlings. The seedling mechanism includes:

[0009] A mounting bracket fixed to the rear of the vehicle frame and a fixing sleeve fixed to the mounting bracket;

[0010] It also includes a guide tube that passes through the fixed sleeve and can slide along the axial direction of the fixed sleeve. The guide tube is driven by a reciprocating drive mounted on the mounting frame. The bottom of the guide tube is circumferentially hinged with a plurality of pointed soil entry parts, and the connecting parts hinged on the pointed soil entry parts are also hinged to the fixed sleeve.

[0011] The fully automatic tracked chili seedling planter described above: the hopper is fixed at an incline on the frame, and an inclined guide plate is formed on one side of the hopper for tilting and guiding the chili seedlings.

[0012] The fully automatic tracked chili seedling planter described above has a material discharge control mechanism installed on the frame along the material discharge direction of the hopper. The material discharge control mechanism is used to control the individual chili seedlings to fall out of the hopper.

[0013] The fully automatic tracked chili seedling planter described above includes the following material discharge control mechanism:

[0014] A mounting plate is vertically fixed to the frame and a first connecting rod is slidably mounted on the mounting plate. One end of the first connecting rod is fixed with a baffle for controlling the flow or blockage of the material drop point of the hopper, and the other end is connected to a first crank-connecting rod structure driven by a second motor.

[0015] The fully automatic tracked chili seedling planter described above includes the seedling separating mechanism comprising:

[0016] The first side plates are symmetrically arranged and fixed to each other. One end of the first side plate is hinged to the frame, and the other end is connected to the frame through a vibration spring.

[0017] A first conveyor belt is placed between the first side plates and driven to rotate by a first motor mounted on one of the first side plates, and a plurality of partitions are equally spaced on the first conveyor belt.

[0018] The fully automatic tracked chili seedling planter described above includes the following steering mechanism:

[0019] Two second side plates are fixed to the frame and symmetrically arranged, with a conveying space formed between the two second side plates;

[0020] The second conveyor belt is rotatably installed within the conveying space and is driven to rotate by a drive source.

[0021] It also includes two symmetrically arranged inclined plates, the inclined plates being inclined in the direction of the conveying direction of the second conveyor belt, and the inclined plates being located above the conveying surface of the second conveyor belt.

[0022] As described above, the fully automatic tracked chili seedling planter has brushes fixed to the opposite sides of the two second side plates.

[0023] The fully automatic tracked chili seedling planter described above: the frame is also equipped with an inclined material guide plate, which is located between the second conveyor belt and the guide pipe.

[0024] The fully automatic tracked chili seedling planter described above: the reciprocating drive component includes:

[0025] A second connecting rod is fixed to the guide tube, and the second connecting rod is slidably connected to the mounting bracket;

[0026] One end of the second connecting rod is rotatably connected to a second crank-connecting rod structure driven by a third motor mounted on a mounting bracket.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the seedling separating mechanism separates the chili seedlings falling from the hopper one by one, ensuring the individual delivery of the chili seedlings. The directional mechanism delivers the chili seedlings into the guide pipe, and then the reciprocating drive drives the guide pipe to move downward. As the guide pipe moves downward, it drives multiple pointed soil-entry parts to move downward simultaneously. At the same time, the multiple pointed soil-entry parts expand outward under the action of the connecting parts, thereby releasing the chili seedlings to achieve sowing. Compared with the traditional seedling planting method, this machine improves planting efficiency, saves labor costs, improves planting quality, and reduces the waste of chili seedlings.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] Various exemplary embodiments, features, and aspects of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote elements that have the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, they are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated otherwise.

[0035] The term “exemplary” as used herein means “serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration.” Any embodiment illustrated herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as superior to or better than other embodiments.

[0036] Furthermore, to better illustrate this application, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application can be implemented even without certain specific details. In some instances, methods, means, and elements well-known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this application.

[0037] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the utility model, a fully automatic tracked chili seedling planter includes a frame 1 and track wheels 2 mounted on the frame 1.

[0038] The frame 1 is sequentially equipped with a hopper 4, a seedling separating mechanism 5, a steering mechanism 6, and a seedling mechanism 8 along the conveying direction of the chili seedlings. The seedling mechanism 8 includes:

[0039] Mounting bracket 801 fixed to the rear of the frame 1 and fixing sleeve 805 fixed to the mounting bracket 801;

[0040] It also includes a guide tube 804 that passes through the fixed sleeve 805 and can slide along the axial direction of the fixed sleeve 805. The guide tube 804 is driven by a reciprocating drive member mounted on the mounting bracket 801. The bottom of the guide tube 804 is circumferentially hinged with a plurality of pointed soil entry parts 806, and the connecting parts 807 hinged on the pointed soil entry parts 806 are also hinged to the fixed sleeve 805.

[0041] In this embodiment, the seedling separating mechanism 5 separates the chili seedlings falling from the feed hopper 4 one by one, ensuring that the chili seedlings are transported individually. The directional mechanism 6 transports the chili seedlings into the guide pipe 804. Then, the reciprocating drive drives the guide pipe 804 to move downward. As the guide pipe 804 moves downward, it drives multiple pointed soil-entry parts 806 to move downward simultaneously. At the same time, the multiple pointed soil-entry parts 806 expand outward under the action of the connecting part 807, thereby releasing the chili seedlings to achieve sowing. Compared with the traditional seedling planting method, this machine's seedling planting method improves planting efficiency, saves labor costs, improves planting quality, and reduces the waste of chili seedlings.

[0042] It should be noted that the multiple pointed soil-inserting parts 806 are arranged in a conical structure after being gathered together. After the chili seedlings enter the feed pipe 804, they enter the conical structure under the action of gravity. At this time, the space inside the conical structure is shaped like a larger top and a smaller bottom. Therefore, after the chili seedlings enter the conical structure, it plays a certain guiding role for the chili seedlings, ensuring that the chili seedlings remain in a relatively vertical state when they fall out.

[0043] Further, please refer to Figure 1 The hopper 4 is fixed at an incline on the frame 1, and an inclined guide plate 401 is formed on one side of the hopper 4 for guiding the chili seedlings at an incline. The inclined guide plate 401 makes the space of the hopper 4 gradually decrease along the falling direction of the chili seedlings, so that there is only one chili seedling at the discharge port of the hopper 4, so as to ensure that the chili seedlings fall in sequence.

[0044] Please see Figure 2 A material discharge control mechanism 7 is provided on the frame 1 along the material discharge direction of the hopper 4. The material discharge control mechanism 7 is used to control the individual chili seedlings to fall out of the hopper 4. In one exemplary embodiment, the material discharge control mechanism 7 includes a mounting plate 705 vertically fixed on the frame 1 and a first connecting rod 704 slidably mounted on the mounting plate 705. One end of the first connecting rod 704 is fixed with a baffle 703 for controlling the opening or blocking of the material discharge point of the hopper 4, and the other end is connected to a first crank connecting rod structure 702 driven by a second motor 701.

[0045] Specifically, a sensor is installed at the bottom of the inclined guide plate 401. The sensor communicates with the control unit of the second motor 701. When the sensor detects that there are chili seedlings at the dropping point of the hopper 4, the second motor 701 starts to work, so as to drive the first connecting rod 704 to perform a reciprocating motion through the first crank connecting rod structure 702. When the first connecting rod 704 reciprocates, it drives the baffle 703 to perform a reciprocating motion, thereby causing a single chili seedling to fall out, thus realizing the orderly feeding of chili seedlings.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The seedling separation mechanism 5 includes symmetrically arranged and mutually fixed first side plates 501, one end of the first side plate 501 is hinged to the frame 1, and the other end is connected to the frame 1 through a vibration spring 504; a first conveyor belt 502 is placed between the first side plates 501 and driven to rotate by a first motor 505 installed on one of the first side plates 501, and a plurality of partitions 503 are equidistantly installed on the first conveyor belt 502.

[0047] The first motor 505 drives the first conveyor belt 502 to rotate continuously to transport the chili seedlings. At the same time, the partition 503 can separate individual chili seedlings so that each chili seedling sent out from the first conveyor belt 502 is a single seedling.

[0048] In one embodiment, a vibrator is installed on one of the first side plates 501. The vibrator drives the entire seedling separation mechanism 5 to vibrate slightly, thereby separating the chili seedlings one by one. The vibration spring 504 can effectively prevent excessive vibration.

[0049] It should be noted that the first conveyor belt 502 is equipped with two pulleys, which are rotatably mounted between the two first side plates 501, and one of the pulleys is rotatably connected to the output shaft of the first motor 505.

[0050] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The steering mechanism 6 includes two second side plates 601 fixed to the frame 1 and symmetrically arranged, forming a conveying space between the two second side plates 601; a second conveyor belt 602, which is rotatably installed in the conveying space and driven to rotate by a drive source; and two inclined plates 603 symmetrically arranged, the inclined direction of the inclined plates 603 facing the conveying direction of the second conveyor belt 602, and the inclined plates 603 being located above the conveying surface of the second conveyor belt 602.

[0051] In this embodiment, the driving source can be a servo motor. The driving source drives the second conveyor belt 602 to rotate and transport the chili seedlings. When the chili seedlings are transported between the two inclined plates 603, the chili seedlings can move to the middle position of the second conveyor belt 602 under the action of the inclined plates 603, ensuring that the chili seedlings can smoothly enter the guide pipe 804.

[0052] Of course, the connection relationship between the second conveyor belt 602 and the drive source described here is equivalent to the connection relationship between the first conveyor belt 502 and the first motor 505. Therefore, this embodiment will not elaborate on this further.

[0053] Preferably, brushes 604 are fixed to the opposite surfaces of the two second side plates 601 respectively. The brushes 604 act on the lighter end (i.e. the top) of the chili seedling, so that the top of the chili seedling is roughly facing backward. At the inclined plate 603, the axis of the chili seedling is further parallel to the conveyor belt, thereby improving the success rate of planting.

[0054] Furthermore, the frame 1 is also equipped with an inclined material guide plate 3, which is located between the second conveyor belt 602 and the guide pipe 804 to ensure that the chili seedlings sent out from the second conveyor belt 602 can stably enter the guide pipe 804.

[0055] Further, please refer to Figure 4The reciprocating drive component includes a second connecting rod 808 fixed to the guide tube 804, and the second connecting rod 808 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 801; one end of the second connecting rod 808 is rotatably connected to a second crank connecting rod structure 803 driven by a third motor 802 mounted on the mounting frame 801. When the third motor 802 is working, it drives the second connecting rod 808 and the guide tube 804 to move downward through the second crank connecting rod structure 803, and moves upward to reset after the chili seedlings fall out.

[0056] It should be noted that a dropping sensor is installed on the dropping guide plate 3. The dropping sensor communicates with the control unit of the third motor 802. When the chili seedlings on the dropping guide plate 3 fall into the guide tube 804, the dropping sensor is triggered, and the control unit controls the third motor 802 to drive the second crank connecting rod structure 803 to move. The second crank connecting rod structure 803 drives the second connecting rod 808 and the guide tube 804 to perform one reciprocating motion.

[0057] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0058] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
