[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0020] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6A saffron planting device includes a base plate 1, with supports 2 fixed on both sides of the bottom of the base plate 1. One end of the inner wall of each support 2 is rotatably connected to the same first rotating shaft 3, and both ends of the first rotating shaft 3 pass through the outer walls of the two supports 2. A first roller 4 is sleeved on the side wall of the first rotating shaft 3. Second rollers 15 are installed on the inner walls of the other ends of each support 2. A soil-turning mechanism is provided at one end of the bottom of the base plate 1. The first rotating shaft 3, connected to the side walls of the two supports 2, serves as the rotation center of the entire device, driving the first rollers 4 and other related components to rotate, thereby realizing the movement of the base plate 1 and the soil-turning function. A battery 9 is fixed to one end of the top of the base plate 1 to provide power to the electric components of the entire device, ensuring continuous operation. A hopper 10 is fixed to the middle of the top of the base plate 1, and the bottom of the hopper 10 extends through the bottom of the base plate 1. The hopper 10 contains a conveying mechanism for conveying saffron seeds. The same second rotating shaft 6 is installed through the outer walls of the two supports 2. One of the supports 2 has a rotating mechanism for rotating the second rotating shaft 6 on its outer wall. A circular seat 13 is fitted onto the side wall of the second rotating shaft 6. The circular seat 13 is fixed to the bottom of the base plate 1, and the circular seat 13 has a cavity structure. The outer wall of the circular seat 13 is... A discharge pipe 20 and a feed pipe 23 are fixed on opposite sides, and the feed pipe 23 is connected to the hopper 10. A circular seat 13, as part of the conveying mechanism, is fixed to the bottom of the base plate 1, holds saffron seeds, and is connected to the hopper 10 via the feed pipe 23, ensuring the seeds can be smoothly transported to the sowing position. An annular plate 21 is provided on the inner wall of the circular seat 13, and the annular plate 21 is fitted onto the side wall of the second rotating shaft 6. The annular plate 21 rotates with the rotation of the second rotating shaft 6, thereby driving multiple hoppers 22 to receive and deliver the saffron seeds, completing the sowing operation. The outer wall of the second rotating shaft 6... Multiple material containers 22 are fixed in a circular pattern at equal intervals. The second rotating shaft 6 cooperates with the first rotating shaft 3 and is driven by a rotating mechanism to rotate the annular plate 21 and the multiple material containers 22, thereby realizing the transportation and sowing of saffron seeds. A water spraying mechanism is provided at the other end of the base plate 1. During the use of this device, when sowing, the base plate 1 is pushed to move, and the soil turning mechanism can be used to turn the soil on the ground to form trenches. This eliminates the need for manual soil turning with tools such as hoes, saving time and improving work efficiency. Moreover, no manual sowing and watering are required during the process, which improves the practicality of this device.
[0021] In this embodiment, the soil-turning mechanism includes a triangular block 16, which is fixed to one end of the bottom of the base plate 1. When the base plate 1 moves after contacting the ground, the triangular block 16 forms a groove for turning the soil, saving time and labor associated with manual soil turning. The rotating mechanism includes a first sprocket 5, which is sleeved on one side wall of the first rotating shaft 3. A second sprocket 7 is sleeved on one side wall of the second rotating shaft 6. A chain 8 is provided on the outer wall of one of the brackets 2, with both ends of the chain 8 sleeved on the side walls of the first sprocket 5 and the second sprocket 7, respectively. Strip 8 meshes with both the first sprocket 5 and the second sprocket 7. The conveying mechanism includes a connecting plate 12, which is fixed to the top of the hopper 10. A third rotating shaft 18 is installed through the top of the hopper 10. An auger 19 is sleeved on the side wall of the third rotating shaft 18. A motor 17 is fixed at the middle of the top of the connecting plate 12, and the output shaft of the motor 17 is fixed to the third rotating shaft 18. The auger 19 is connected to the third rotating shaft 18 and rotates under the drive of the motor 17. It is responsible for conveying saffron seeds from the hopper 10 to the inside of the circular seat 13, preventing the seeds from piling up. To prevent saffron seeds from accumulating and becoming clogged, during sowing, the base plate 1 is moved. At this time, the first roller 4 and the two second rollers 15 are rotating. Since the triangular block 16 is in contact with the ground, the movement of the base plate 1 causes the triangular block 16 to move, forming a trench on the ground. This eliminates the need for manual tilling with tools such as hoes, saving time and improving work efficiency. Simultaneously, the drive motor 17, in conjunction with the third rotating shaft 18, drives the auger 19 to rotate, conveying the saffron seeds into the circular seat 13 through the feed pipe 23, preventing the saffron seeds from becoming clogged. Accumulation occurs at the bottom of the hopper 10, causing blockage and affecting the sowing of saffron seeds. Since the first roller 4 is rotating, it works with the first shaft 3, the first sprocket 5, the second sprocket 7 and the chain 8 to drive the second shaft 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the annular plate 21 to rotate. The rotation of the annular plate 21 drives the multiple saffron boxes 22 to rotate, which can continuously collect saffron seeds inside the multiple saffron boxes 22. When the saffron box 22 rotates to the discharge pipe 20, under the action of gravity, the saffron seeds roll down to the discharge pipe 20 and slide into the groove.
[0022] In this embodiment, the water spraying mechanism includes a first connecting pipe 14. The same first connecting pipe 14 is provided through the side walls of the two supports 2. Multiple branch pipes 27 are fixed to the outer side wall of the first connecting pipe 14, and all of the multiple branch pipes 27 are connected to the first connecting pipe 14. A water tank 11 is fixed to the other end of the top of the base plate 1. A water pump 24 is fixed to the top of the water tank 11. A second connecting pipe 25 is fixed to the inlet of the water pump 24, and the second connecting pipe 25 is connected to the water tank 11. A third connecting pipe 26 is fixed to the outlet of the water pump 24, and the third connecting pipe 26 is connected to the first connecting pipe 14. The water pump 24 is driven to draw clean water from the water tank 11 into the first connecting pipe 14 through the third connecting pipe 26 and the second connecting pipe 25, and spray it onto the trench through the multiple branch pipes 27 to complete the watering treatment. There is no need for manual sowing and watering, which improves the practicality of this device.
[0023] The working principle of this embodiment: During use, saffron seeds are placed inside the connecting plate 12. When sowing, the base plate 1 is moved. At this time, the first roller 4 and the two second rollers 15 are rotating. Since the triangular block 16 is in contact with the ground, the movement of the base plate 1 causes the triangular block 16 to move, forming a trench on the ground. This eliminates the need for manual tilling with tools such as hoes, saving time and improving work efficiency. Simultaneously, the power switch of the motor 17 is turned on, driving the motor 17 to rotate with the third rotating shaft 18, which in turn drives the auger 19 to rotate, conveying the saffron seeds into the circular seat 13 through the feed pipe 23. This prevents the saffron seeds from accumulating at the bottom of the hopper 10, causing blockage and affecting the sowing of the saffron seeds. In a rotating state, the first rotating shaft 3, the first sprocket 5, the second sprocket 7, and the chain 8 drive the second rotating shaft 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the annular plate 21 to rotate. The rotation of the annular plate 21 drives the multiple material collection boxes 22 to rotate, continuously collecting saffron seeds inside the multiple material collection boxes 22. When the material collection box 22 rotates to the discharge pipe 20, under the action of gravity, the saffron seeds roll down to the discharge pipe 20 and slide into the trench. At the same time as sowing, the power switch of the water pump 24 is turned on, driving the water pump 24 to draw clean water from the water tank 11 into the first connecting pipe 14 through the third connecting pipe 26 and the second connecting pipe 25, and spray it into the trench through multiple branch pipes 27 to complete the watering treatment. There is no need for manual sowing and watering treatment, which improves the practicality of this device.
