Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tomato seedling transplanting technology, and in particular to a tomato seedling transplanting device with a cleaning structure. Background Technology

[0002] Tomato seedlings are the seedlings that grow after tomato seeds germinate. They are usually used for cultivation in the seedling stage. Tomato seedlings are annual plants that grow very fast. They have slender stems and are generally 10-25 cm tall. They have single leaves that are dark green in color and yellowish petioles.

[0003] Patent document publication number 202321209998.7 discloses a tomato seedling transplanting device, including a base plate, a support fixed to the bottom of the base plate, and a sliding sleeve that can move horizontally on the base plate. Soil-inserting plates are bolted to the bottom of both the support and the sliding sleeve. The bottom ends of the soil-inserting plates are pyramidal structures. A sliding opening is provided on the surface of the base plate. Two symmetrically arranged fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate, and a lead screw is rotatably inserted between the fixing blocks. The sliding sleeve is threaded onto the lead screw, and a rotating block is fixedly connected to the end of the lead screw. In this design, two soil-inserting plates are inserted into the soil, allowing for simultaneous loosening of the soil from both sides, increasing the speed. After all four sides are loosened, the rotating block can be rotated, causing the lead screw to rotate and pushing the sliding sleeve to move linearly, bringing one soil-inserting plate closer to the other. At this point, the device can be lifted upwards to remove the tomato seedling from the seedling box. However, during the operation, the operators usually insert one end of the transplanting device directly into the soil, relying on the stickiness of the soil to make the tomato seedlings adhere to the inside of the device. During the transplanting process, the tomato seedlings are prone to falling off the inside of the transplanting device, affecting the normal transplanting of the tomato seedlings. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tomato seedling transplanting device with a cleaning structure, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that, when workers use existing transplanting devices, they usually insert one end of the transplanting device directly into the soil, relying on the adhesiveness of the soil itself to make the tomato seedlings adhere to the inside of the device. During the transplanting process, the tomato seedlings are prone to detach from the inside of the transplanting device, thus affecting the normal transplanting of tomato seedlings.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Please see Figure 1-4As shown, this embodiment is a tomato seedling transplanting device with a cleaning structure, comprising:

[0035] Main components: The main components include the main cylinder 11, the fixed cylinder 12, and the insert cylinder 13;

[0036] The fixed cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the top end of the main cylinder 11, and the insert cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the main cylinder 11;

[0037] The main cylinder 11 is used to open the through groove 31, the fixed cylinder 12 is used to provide space for the installation of the components, and the insertion cylinder 13 is used to assist the workers in inserting the device into the soil.

[0038] All of the above parts are existing technologies;

[0039] Components used: The components used include spring plate 21, toothed plate 22, rotating gear 25, threaded rod 26 and screw barrel 28;

[0040] Spring plate 21 is slidably connected to the inner wall of fixed cylinder 12, toothed plate 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of spring plate 21, rotating gear 25 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of spring plate 21, threaded rod 26 is fixedly connected to one end of rotating gear 25, screw cylinder 28 is threadedly connected to one end of threaded rod 26, and toothed plate 22 and rotating gear 25 are meshing.

[0041] The components also include a semi-circular plate 23, a connecting rod 24, and a connecting groove 27;

[0042] The connecting rod 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw cylinder 28, the semi-circular plate 23 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom end of the connecting rod 24, and the connecting groove 27 is opened on both sides of the bottom end of the main cylinder 11.

[0043] The threaded rod 26 and the screw barrel 28 are set on the same central axis, the toothed plate 22 and the rotating gear 25 are set on the same central axis, and the semi-circular plate 23 is used to assist the staff in transplanting tomato seedlings;

[0044] Through the meshing between the toothed plate 22 and the rotating gear 25, the toothed plate 22 can drive the rotating gear 25 to rotate during repeated sliding, so that the semicircular plate 23 can be repeatedly opened and closed.

[0045] Working principle: When workers transplant tomato seedlings;

[0046] First, align the insert 13 with the tomato seedling planting site and insert the insert 13 into the soil. At the same time, pull the spring plate 21 that is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the fixed tube 12 upward. This will allow the toothed plate 22 that is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the spring plate 21 to slide vertically, so that the toothed plate 22 drives the rotating gear 25 to rotate during the sliding process.

[0047] Next, the threaded rod 26, which is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating gear 25, can be rotated. During the rotation of the threaded rod 26, the screw cylinder 28, which is threaded at one end, will slide vertically in the limiting groove. This will allow the semi-circular plate 23, which is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the screw cylinder 28, to slide into the inside of the main cylinder 11 through the connecting groove 27, thus supporting the bottom of the tomato seedling.

[0048] This step makes transplanting tomato seedlings convenient and labor-saving for staff.

[0049] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, also includes a cleaning component;

[0050] The cleaning components include a through slot 31, an arc block 32, and a mounting plate 34;

[0051] The through groove 31 is opened inside the main cylinder 11, the mounting plate 34 is slidably connected to the inside of the through groove 31, and the arc block 32 is fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting plate 34.

[0052] The cleaning assembly also includes a spring rod 33 and a scraper 35;

[0053] The spring rod 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the mounting plate 34, and the scraper 35 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring rod 33;

[0054] The through slot 31 provides space for the mounting plate 34 to slide. The arc block 32 is exposed to the outside of the main cylinder 11 through the through slot 31. The spring rod 33 and the scraper 35 are arranged on the same central axis. The scraper 35 is slidably connected to the inside of the main cylinder 11.

[0055] With the auxiliary cooperation between the arc block 32 and the mounting plate 34, the scraper 35 can be driven to slide vertically inside the main cylinder 11 while the arc block 32 is sliding, so as to scrape off the soil adhering to the inner wall of the main cylinder 11.

[0056] Working principle: When staff clean the device;

[0057] First, by sliding the arc block 32 exposed outside the main cylinder 11, the arc block 32 can slide down while driving the mounting plate 34 to slide, so that the mounting plate 34 drives the spring rod 33 fixedly connected at one end to slide during the sliding process inside the through groove 31.

[0058] Next, the scraper 35, which is fixedly connected to one end of the spring rod 33, can slide vertically inside the main cylinder 11, so that the scraper 35 can scrape off the soil adhering to the inner wall of the main cylinder 11.

[0059] This step helps workers quickly remove the soil adhering to the device.
