When the seedling clamping assembly 3B rotates above the seedling guide tube 4, the fully open seedling throwing section 3B7B allows the left clamping body 3B4A and the right clamping body 3B4B to fully open and quickly throw the seedling, ensuring smooth throwing and preventing the seedlings from tilting. This facilitates matching the movement of the duckbill-type seedling planting mechanism 5 and improves the seedling planting effect. Simultaneously, when the seedling clamping assembly 3B rotates above the seedling tray to retrieve the seedlings, the partially open seedling retrieval section 3B7C keeps the left clamping body 3B4A and the right clamping body 3B4B in a partially open state. The clamping body opening matches the width of the seedling hole, preventing the clamping body opening from accidentally clamping adjacent seedlings. The segmented design of the cam surface takes into account the needs of different working states of seedling retrieval, clamping, and throwing, improving the seedling planting effect.

[0057] Furthermore, cam 3B7 employs a disc-shaped radial cam. When the control arc surfaces 3B6A3 and 3B6B3 of the left and right shift forks abut against the cam surface, a component force is generated that causes the left crank arm shaft 3B3A and the right crank arm shaft 3B3B to rotate. This solves the problem of controlling the rotation of the left and right crank arm shafts with a disc-shaped radial cam, resulting in a more compact structure. Of course, cam 3B7 is not limited to a disc-shaped radial cam. If the compactness of the gripper assembly is not a concern, an end-face axial cam structure can also be used.

[0058] In this embodiment, in order to avoid damaging the seedlings when clamping them, flexible materials can be provided on the left clamping body 3B4A and the right clamping body 3B4B.

[0059] In this embodiment, the return spring (not shown in the figure) can be disposed outside the clamping body 3B1, for example, between the left clamping body 3B4A and the right clamping body 3B4B; or it can be disposed inside the clamping body 3B1, for example, between the second protrusion 3B6A2 of the left shift fork and the second protrusion 3B6B2 of the right shift fork. Depending on the need, the return spring can be configured as a compression spring or a tension spring.

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the camshaft 3B2 and the positioning link 3C1 are connected by an angle adjustment device. Preferably, the angle adjustment device is an adjustment plate 3C2, which is fixedly connected to the camshaft 3B2. The positioning link is sleeved on the camshaft 3B2, and the positioning link 3C1 has an adjustment elongated hole. Rotating the adjustment plate 3C2 rotates the camshaft 3B2. When the adjustment plate 3C2 reaches the desired angle, the adjustment plate 3C2 and the positioning link 3C1 are fixed together by a connecting member passing through the adjustment elongated hole, thus facilitating the adjustment of the opening and closing timing of the clamp. The connecting member is preferably a hinge bolt 3C3, secured with a nut. The angle adjustment device is not limited to the specific mechanism described above, but also includes any technical means suitable for adjusting the relative angle between the camshaft 3B2 and the positioning link 3C1.

[0061] As Figure 7 shown, in this embodiment, the blocking seedling plate 3B5 is fixed outside the clamping body seat 3B1, the blocking seedling plate 3B5 is located at the rear of the left clamping body 3B4A and the right clamping body 3B4B seedling clamping part, and the blocking seedling plate 3B5 is used for shielding the pot seedling and preventing the reset spring from clamping the seedling.

[0062] The working principle of the pot seedling transplanting machine disclosed by the utility model is as follows:

[0063] Under the driving of the ground wheel, the transverse seedling feeding device with the spiral shaft structure makes the first support 20 reciprocate along the transverse sliding rail 20A, and the two ends of the first support 20 are respectively fixedly provided with an induction trigger 20D, and the rack 1 is provided with a second sensor 20E; when the induction trigger 20D moves to the induction area of the second sensor 20D along with the first support 20, the second sensor 20D sends a signal to make the motor 23 rotate the longitudinal seedling feeding through the electric control unit. The chain transmission device for driving the pot seedling disc to feed the seedling longitudinally is installed on the first support 20, the driving shaft 21 of the chain transmission device is driven by the motor 23, one end of the driven shaft 22 of the chain transmission device is provided with a seedling feeding grating disc 25, a plurality of notches 251 are formed in the circumference of the seedling feeding grating disc 25, and the first support 20 is fixedly provided with a first sensor 24 for sensing the notches 251; when the notches 251 rotate to the induction area of the first sensor 24, the first sensor 24 sends a signal to make the motor 23 stop rotating to end the longitudinal seedling feeding once through the electric control unit. Corresponding to the seedling feeding mechanism 2, under the driving of the ground wheel 11, with the rotation of the transfer case 3A and the transverse movement of the pot seedling disc on the first support 20, the two jaw assemblies 3B are sequentially opened and closed, the pot seedling moving to the seedling pulling position is pulled out quickly at the fixed point, the pot seedling soil keeps facing downward during the pulling and transferring process, the position of the seedling throwing and the state of the pot seedling are kept consistent, and therefore the seedling planting effect is improved.

[0064] In summary, the pot seedling transplanting machine disclosed by the utility model adopts mechanical seedling clamping, electric seedling feeding, two jaw assemblies for pulling out the seedling at the fixed point quickly, the speed is fast and accurate, the seedling is pulled out at the fixed point, the falling point of the seedling in the seedling guiding cylinder 4 is consistent, and the seedling planting effect is better. The utility model has the advantages of simple structure, low production cost, no easy fault during operation, and wide application in vegetables, cotton, tobacco and other dry land crops.

[0065] The utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, the above-mentioned seedling feeding mechanism and / or seedling pulling mechanism are combined with the seedling planting mechanism suitable for paddy field operation, and a rice pot seedling transplanting machine can also be formed. All kinds of improvements based on the concept, principle, structure and method of the utility model will fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
