Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of planting and seedling technology, and in particular to a device for planting and cultivating Chinese herbal medicine seedlings. Background Technology
[0002] To improve the survival rate of Chinese herbal medicine seeds, workers typically plant the seeds indoors as seedlings before transplanting them outdoors. The equipment used is a seedling frame or seedling cabinet, such as the vegetable planting seedling rack disclosed in patent 202123298730.9, which includes a seedling room, a placement board, fluorescent lights, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a heating plate, a water tank, a water pump, water supply pipes, and sprinklers. All structures are installed in the seedling room. The water volume is automatically adjusted based on the signal from the humidity sensor, and the temperature is automatically adjusted to a suitable temperature for seedling germination based on the signal from the temperature sensor, thus achieving temperature and humidity control during the seedling process. However, this patent and existing seedling cabinets only provide automatic care for the seeds and seedlings placed in the soil. The initial even burial of seeds on the placement board still requires manual labor, especially for small-grained Chinese herbal medicine seeds. Planting them individually, densely, and evenly makes the process tedious and laborious, resulting in low planting efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a seedling cultivation device for Chinese herbal medicines to solve the problem that existing seedling cabinets cannot efficiently and quickly bury seeds.
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a Chinese herbal medicine seedling cultivation device, including a cabinet, a seedling board, and a seed placement mechanism. The seedling board carries soil for seed planting and is horizontally connected inside the cabinet. The seed placement mechanism is installed above the seedling board and includes a first feeding plate, a second feeding plate, a receiving hose, a discharge head, and a connecting frame. The lower surface of the first feeding plate is in close contact with the upper surface of the second feeding plate. The first feeding plate is provided with a plurality of first leakage holes, each capable of holding only a single seed. The second feeding plate is provided with a second leakage hole matching the first leakage hole. The first feeding plate moves relative to the second feeding plate, aligning or misaligning the first and second leakage holes vertically. One end of the receiving hose is connected to the second leakage hole, and the other end is connected to the discharge head. The connecting frame securely connects the discharge heads together.
[0005] Furthermore, the cabinet is equipped with a first hydraulic cylinder and a second hydraulic cylinder. The first hydraulic cylinder is horizontally installed on the side of the cabinet, and its output end passes through the cabinet and is fixedly connected to the first unloading plate. The second hydraulic cylinder is installed on the top of the cabinet, and its output end is fixedly connected to the connecting frame and pushes the connecting frame downward.
[0006] Furthermore, the second hydraulic cylinder is installed at an angle on the cabinet, and the discharge head has an inclined surface that is parallel to the output direction of the second hydraulic cylinder.
[0007] Furthermore, a limiting edge is provided on the first feeding plate, and the limiting edge is located at the edge of the first feeding plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the limiting edge occupies only three sides of the first feeding plate, and the limiting edge protrudes upward to form a groove structure on the upper surface of the first feeding plate. The first feeding plate is provided with a scraper, a screw, and a motor. The scraper is located between the limiting edges, the motor is connected to the screw, and the screw passes through the scraper and is threadedly connected to the scraper.
[0009] Furthermore, a gap is provided between one side of the first feeding plate and the side of the cabinet, and a receiving box is provided on the cabinet, the receiving box being located below the gap.
[0010] This invention has the following advantages: personnel quickly spread the seeds into the first discharge hole, and by moving the first feeding plate to the right, the first discharge hole and the second discharge hole are aligned vertically. Under the action of gravity, the seeds move downward and pass through the receiving hose and the discharge head in sequence. Simultaneously or in advance, the connecting frame is pressed to insert the discharge head into the soil, so that the seeds fall into the soil at once. This achieves uniform seed dispersion and rapid planting, replacing the manual burying of seeds and improving planting efficiency. Attached Figure Description

The left end of the second feeding plate 4 is welded to the left side of the cabinet 1, and the right end of the second feeding plate 4 has a gap with the side of the cabinet 1. The lower surface of the first feeding plate 3 is in close contact with the upper surface of the second feeding plate 4. The first feeding plate 3 is provided with multiple first leakage holes 5, the diameter of which can only accommodate a single seed. The second feeding plate 4 is provided with second leakage holes 6 that match the first leakage holes 5. Figure 3 As shown, the first feeding plate 3 moves relative to the second feeding plate 4, and the first discharge hole 5 and the second discharge hole 6 are aligned vertically or misaligned. One end of the receiving hose 7 is connected to the second discharge hole 6, and the other end of the receiving hose 7 is connected to the discharge head 8. The connecting frame 10 is a plurality of straight rod-shaped structures, and the connecting frame 10 fixes the plurality of discharge heads 8 together.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the first hydraulic cylinder 9 is horizontally installed on the left side of the cabinet 1. The output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 9 passes through the cabinet 1 and is fixedly connected to the left end of the first unloading plate 3, as shown. Figure 2 As shown, the second hydraulic cylinder 12 is installed obliquely on the top surface of the cabinet 1. The push rod 13 and the limiting ring 21 are installed on the back of the cabinet 1. The limiting ring 21 is fixedly connected to the cabinet 1. The push rod 13 is installed inside the limiting ring 21. The end of the push rod 13 is connected to the output end of the second hydraulic cylinder 12 through a coupling. The back of the cabinet 1 is provided with an opening 11. Part of the structure of the connecting frame 10 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the push rod 13 through the opening 11. The discharge head 8 is a hollow needle structure and is provided with an inclined surface. The inclined surface is parallel to the output direction of the second hydraulic cylinder 12.
[0020] like Figure 1As shown, a limiting edge 14 is provided on the first feeding plate 3. The limiting edge 14 is located at the edge of the first feeding plate 3 and occupies only three sides of the first feeding plate 3. The limiting edge 14 protrudes upward to form a groove structure on the upper surface of the first feeding plate 3. A scraper 15, a screw 16, and a motor 17 are provided on the first feeding plate 3. The scraper 15 is a rectangular straight plate structure. The scraper 15 is stuck between the limiting edges 14 on the front and rear sides of the first feeding plate 3. The lower surface of the scraper 15 is in close contact with the upper surface of the first feeding plate 3. The motor 17 is installed on the right side of the cabinet 1. The motor 17 is connected to the right end of the screw 16 through a coupling. The screw 16 passes through the cabinet 1 and the scraper 15 in sequence, and the screw 16 is rotatably connected to the cabinet 1. The screw 16 is threadedly connected to the scraper 15.
[0021] There is also a gap between the right side of the first unloading plate 3 and the side of the cabinet 1. A bracket 19 is installed on the inner side of the cabinet 1. The bracket 19 is installed below the gap. The receiving box 18 is placed directly on the bracket 19. The receiving box 18 is a rectangular slotted frame structure.
[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the scraper 15 is positioned at the leftmost side of the first feeding plate 3. The operator sprinkles seeds onto the first feeding plate 3, exceeding the allowable amount. The motor 17 is started, driving the screw 16 to rotate. The screw 16 then drives the scraper 15 to move to the right under the guidance of the limiting edge 14. The scraper 15 pushes the seeds to the right, causing them to fall into the first leakage hole 5. Excess seeds are pushed to the right and fall into the receiving box 18 for collection. The first hydraulic cylinder 9 is then activated to push the first feeding plate 3 to the right, aligning the first leakage hole 5 with the second leakage hole 6. Under the influence of gravity, the seeds continue to move downwards into the receiving hose 7. Step by step, the second hydraulic cylinder 12 is activated to push the push rod 13, the connecting frame 10, and the discharge head 8 to move downwards at an angle until the discharge head 8 penetrates deep into the soil. When the first leakage hole 5 and the second leakage hole 6 are aligned vertically, the discharge head 8 penetrates the soil to the set thickness, and the seeds continue to move downwards and finally fall into the soil. The whole process achieves uniform seed dispersion and synchronous burial, improving planting efficiency. Since each first leakage hole 5 can only hold one seed, the number in each pit is consistent, ensuring the number of seedlings and the strength of the plants. The inclined surface of the discharge head 8 is set at an angle to the second hydraulic cylinder 12, which can avoid the problem of the discharge hole being blocked due to the vertical pressing of the discharge head 8 into the soil.
[0023] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
