Detailed Implementation
[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0027] Example 1:
[0028] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides a peanut seedling separating device, including a mounting frame 1 and a seedling support head 2. The mounting frame 1 is provided with a first sleeve 3, and a connecting rod 4 is slidably disposed inside the first sleeve 3. The first sleeve 3 is provided with a first fixing member for fixing the position of the connecting rod 4. The seedling support head 2 is installed at the lower end of the connecting rod 4, and the seedling support head 2 is a conical design.
[0029] When using this seedling separating equipment, firstly, the mounting frame 1 is installed on the front end of a walking tractor, with one end of the first sleeve 3 positioned in front of the tractor's wheel. Then, the seedling-supporting head 2 is installed on the first sleeve 3 via the connecting rod 4, and the connecting rod 4 slides within the first sleeve 3. The connecting rod 4 is fixed at the desired height using the first fixing component, ensuring that the seedling-supporting head 2 accurately contacts the peanut seedlings. This height-adjustable design improves the equipment's applicability and flexibility, enabling precise straightening and separation of peanut seedlings of varying heights and growth stages. Next, the walking tractor is started. As the tractor moves forward slowly, the seedling-supporting head 2 will first contact the peanut seedlings. Due to its conical design, the seedling-supporting head 2 easily guides lodged, deeply rooted, or haphazardly arranged peanut seedlings neatly to one side, reducing entanglement during subsequent harvesting and ensuring a smooth harvest, thereby improving harvesting efficiency and operational continuity. Finally, after the operation is completed, promptly clean the soil and residue from the seedling support head 2, and perform necessary maintenance and upkeep to extend the service life of the equipment. This seedling separating equipment can quickly separate and straighten peanut seedlings, replacing manual separation and straightening, reducing the labor intensity of users during peanut harvesting, allowing users to complete the harvesting work more easily, improving the comfort and safety of the operation. By ensuring the neat arrangement of peanut seedlings, it significantly reduces the downtime of the peanut harvester caused by seedling entanglement during the harvesting process, bringing a significant improvement in the efficiency of peanut harvesting operations.
[0030] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 The first fixing component is the first bolt 5. The first fixing screw hole 6 is provided on the outer side of the first sleeve 3. The first bolt 5 is threadedly connected to the first fixing screw hole 6 and extends into the first sleeve 3 to abut against the connecting rod 4.
[0031] By screwing the first bolt 5 into the first fixing screw hole 6 on the first sleeve 3, the tightness of the connecting rod 4 can be effectively controlled, allowing for easy and quick adjustment of the seedling support head 2 to the required height. Compared to other complex fixing mechanisms, the combination of the first bolt 5 and the first fixing screw hole 6 is less expensive, easier to adjust, and provides a stable connection, making it more convenient to use. It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the clamping setting of the first bolt 5, multiple through holes can also be provided vertically on the connecting rod 4, allowing the first bolt 5 to be inserted into these holes for multi-level adjustment and fixing. Furthermore, by providing a row of arc-shaped through holes and inserting pins or bolts, the angle of the connecting rod 4 can be adjusted for ease of use.
[0032] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1The seedling support head 2 includes a conical head 201 and multiple seedling extension sides 202, which are distributed in a radiating manner and connected to the outer extension of the tail of the conical head 201.
[0033] When faced with lodged, deep, or haphazard peanut seedlings, the conical head 201 acts as a guide, allowing the seedlings to separate more smoothly and graze to one side. Simultaneously, multiple seedling extension edges 202 are distributed radially along the outer edge of the conical head 201. This design enables the seedling extension edges 202 to cover and disperse the seedlings more extensively upon contact, further enhancing the equipment's adaptability to complex field environments and reducing entanglement and blockage caused by overly concentrated seedlings, thus ensuring smooth harvesting operations.
[0034] Example 2:
[0035] This embodiment is an optimization based on Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, please refer to... Figure 1 The mounting bracket 1 is provided with a second sleeve 7, and the first sleeve 3 is hinged to the second sleeve 7. A shifter for controlling the rotation of the first sleeve 3 is connected to the first sleeve 3.
[0036] The shifter is installed on the handlebar of the walking tractor. By hinged the first sleeve 3 to the second sleeve 7 and controlled by the shifter, the first sleeve 3 can rotate within a preset range, which facilitates switching the working state of the seedling support head 2. For example, when the work is completed or when it is necessary to temporarily stop using it, the seedling support head 2 can be lifted by the shifter to avoid unnecessary contact or collision between the seedling support head 2 and other objects, thereby protecting the seedling support head 2 from damage and extending its service life.
[0037] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 The gear shifter includes a mounting housing 8, a shift lever 9, and a connecting rope 10. The top surface of the mounting housing 8 has an L-shaped groove 14 and a crossbar 11 inside. The end of the shift lever 9 extends from the L-shaped groove 14 into the mounting housing 8 and is movably sleeved on the crossbar 11. One end of the connecting rope 10 is connected to the shift lever 9, and the other end is connected to the first sleeve 3.
[0038] The shifter, through the cooperation of the housing 8, shift lever 9, and connecting rope 10, allows the seedling support head 2 to be raised by simply pulling the shift lever 9 backward. The connecting rope 10 acts as a transmission medium, transmitting the movement of the shift lever 9 to the first sleeve 3, driving the first sleeve 3 to rotate, gradually raising the seedling support head 2 to the desired position. Then, the shift lever 9 is engaged with the notch in the L-shaped groove 14 to secure it, thus maintaining the raised seedling support head 2. Conversely, when the seedling support head 2 needs to be lowered for operation, the reverse procedure is followed.
[0039] Example 3:
[0040] This embodiment is an optimization based on embodiment 2. In this embodiment, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second sleeve 7 is movably sleeved on the mounting bracket 1, and a second fixing member is provided on the second sleeve 7 for fixing the position of the second sleeve 7.
[0041] The second sleeve 7 can be moved on the mounting frame 1. The position of the second sleeve 7 on the mounting frame 1 can be adjusted according to the specific size of the walking tractor or other agricultural machinery being installed, so as to ensure that the seedling support head 2 can be accurately positioned in front of the tire, avoiding interference with the tire during operation, and thus ensuring smooth operation.
[0042] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 The second fastener is the second bolt 12. The second sleeve 7 has a second fixing screw hole 13 on its outer side. The second bolt 12 is threadedly connected to the second fixing screw hole 13 and extends into the second sleeve 7 to abut against the mounting bracket 1.
[0043] The threaded connection between the second bolt 12 and the second fixing screw hole 13 on the second sleeve 7 ensures that the connection between the second sleeve 7 and the mounting bracket 1 is firm and reliable during operation, and will not loosen due to vibration or external force. It is also easy to adjust, providing great convenience for users.
[0044] Example 4:
[0045] This embodiment is an optimization based on embodiment 2 or embodiment 3. In this embodiment, please refer to... Figure 3 An extension plate 15 is provided below the second sleeve 7, and a third bolt 16 is threaded through the extension plate 15. The end of the third bolt 16 abuts against the first sleeve 3.
[0046] By turning the third bolt 16 on the extension plate 15, the extension amount of the third bolt 16 can be adjusted, and the first sleeve 3 can be supported at different angles, so that the seedling support head 2 can present different angles to adapt to different terrains, crop growth conditions or operation requirements, and has strong adaptability.
