Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice transplanter technology, specifically to a seedling placement box for a rice transplanter. Background Technology

[0002] A rice transplanter is an agricultural machine that plants rice seedlings into paddy fields. When planting, the mechanical claw first takes several rice seedlings from the seedbed and plants them into the soil in the field. In order to maintain a right angle between the seedbed and the ground, the front end of the mechanical claw must move in an elliptical motion curve. The motion is accomplished by a planetary mechanism with rotary or deformable gears. The forward engine can drive these moving mechanisms at the same time.

[0003] Seedling placement boxes for rice transplanters are used to store seedlings and facilitate their transfer to seedling conveyor trays. Existing seedling placement boxes are either seedling rack structures or box structures. Seedling rack structures can easily expose stored seedlings to direct sunlight, reducing their survival rate after planting. Box structures make it difficult to remove stored seedlings. Therefore, we propose a seedling placement box for rice transplanters to solve this technical deficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a seedling placement box for rice transplanters.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a seedling placement box for a rice transplanter, comprising a pair of bases, rectangular hollow tube seats, rectangular hollow tube frames, and multiple seedling placement mesh plates. The rectangular hollow tube seats are connected to the upper surface of the bases, the rectangular hollow tube frames are vertically connected to the upper end of the rectangular hollow tube seats, and the seedling placement mesh plates are evenly distributed on the inner side of the rectangular hollow tube frames.

[0006] The rectangular hollow tube frame has an outer sliding sleeve, and limiting grooves are provided on both sides of the opposite face of the rectangular hollow tube frame. The limiting grooves are located below the seedling placement net plate. An elastic element is provided in the limiting groove, and a limiting block is provided on the elastic element. The upper surface of the limiting block is flush with the lower surface of the seedling placement net plate, and the upper surface of the limiting block is inclined downward. A rectangular plastic film sleeve is connected between the base and the sliding sleeve.

[0007] The above technical solution uses a sealed rectangular structure composed of a base, a rectangular hollow tube seat, a rectangular hollow tube frame, a sliding sleeve, and a plastic film sleeve to shield the seedlings placed on the seedling placement mesh from sunlight, preventing them from being exposed to direct sunlight and improving the survival rate of the seedlings after planting. In addition, the elastic element in the limiting groove supports the limiting block and provides elastic extension and resetting, ensuring that the limiting block limits the sliding sleeve. When it is necessary to remove the seedlings one by one from the seedling placement mesh, the sliding sleeve moves down, causing the limiting block to retract and move to the lower limiting block for limiting, thus leaving the upper seedling placement mesh in an open state, making it easy to remove the seedlings stored on the seedling placement mesh one by one.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the upper surface of the limiting block contacts the sliding sleeve, and the contact area between the limiting block and the sliding sleeve is a plane.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that the contact plane between the limiting block and the sliding sleeve can prevent the sliding sleeve from automatically moving downward.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the front surface of the sliding sleeve is provided with a handle, and a resistance-increasing sleeve is provided on the outside of the handle.

[0011] Using the above technical solution, the hand handle facilitates operation and drives the sliding sleeve downward.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a support frame is provided between the base and the rectangular hollow tube frame.

[0013] Using the above technical solution, the support frame facilitates the support of the seedling placement box and its installation on the rice transplanter.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the elastic element is a spring, which is a stainless steel spring but is not limited to stainless steel springs.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the adaptability of the elastic component can be improved.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the inner side of the rectangular hollow tube frame is provided with a plurality of atomizing spray holes, the atomizing spray holes are respectively located between two adjacent seedling placement net plates, the upper end of the base is provided with a water tank located inside the rectangular hollow tube base, and a water supply component is provided between the water tank and the rectangular hollow tube base.

[0017] Using the above technical solution, the water supply component draws water from the water tank, discharges it through the rectangular hollow tube seat into the rectangular hollow tube frame, and sprays it out from the atomizing nozzles to spray water onto the seedlings placed on the seedling placement mesh, thereby improving the survival rate of seedling planting.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the water supply assembly includes a water pump, a drain pipe, and a pumping pipe. The water pump is mounted on the bottom of the base, the drain pipe connects the rectangular hollow pipe base to the drain outlet of the water pump, and the pumping pipe connects the water tank to the inlet of the water pump.

[0019] Using the above technical solution, water is pumped out of the water tank through the pumping pipe and discharged into the rectangular hollow tube seat through the drain pipe.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the base is connected to a drain head located outside the water tank.

[0021] Using the above technical solution, the drain head will drain the water that falls onto the base.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. This rice transplanter uses a seedling placement box, which consists of a base, a rectangular hollow tube seat, a rectangular hollow tube frame, a sliding sleeve, and a plastic film sleeve, forming a sealed rectangular structure. This structure shields the seedlings placed on the seedling placement mesh from sunlight, preventing them from being exposed to direct sunlight and improving their survival rate after planting. In addition, the elastic element in the limiting groove supports and elastically retracts the limiting block, ensuring that the limiting block limits the sliding sleeve. When it is necessary to remove seedlings one by one from the seedling placement mesh, the sliding sleeve moves down, causing the limiting block to retract and move to the lower limiting block for further restraint. This leaves the upper seedling placement mesh in an open state, making it easy to remove the seedlings stored on the mesh one by one. This avoids the problems of traditional seedling rack structures and box structures, which suffer from reduced planting survival rates due to sun exposure and the difficulty in removing seedlings due to box structures.

[0024] 2. The rice transplanter uses a seedling placement box. The water supply component draws water from the tank and discharges it into the rectangular hollow tube frame through the rectangular hollow tube seat. The water is then sprayed out from the atomizing nozzles to spray water onto the seedlings placed on each layer of the seedling placement mesh, reducing water loss from the seedlings and improving the survival rate of the seedlings.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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 protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1-4 The seedling placement box for a rice transplanter in this embodiment includes a pair of bases 1, rectangular hollow tube seats 2, rectangular hollow tube frames 3, and multiple seedling placement mesh plates 4. The rectangular hollow tube seats 2 are connected and fixed to the upper surface of the bases 1, the rectangular hollow tube frames 3 are vertically connected to the upper surface of the rectangular hollow tube seats 2, and the seedling placement mesh plates 4 are vertically and equidistantly installed and fixed to the inner side of the rectangular hollow tube frames 3.

[0034] When in use, a sunshade should be laid at the upper opening of the rectangular hollow tube frame 3 to block the sunlight from above.

[0035] It should be added that a support frame 17 is installed and fixed between the base 1 and the rectangular hollow tube frame 3. The bottom of the support frame 17 has multiple threaded fastening holes. The support frame 17 provides support for the rectangular hollow tube frame 3. At the same time, the support frame 17 can be vertically installed on the rice transplanter platform by passing fastening screws through the threaded fastening holes.

[0036] The rectangular hollow tube frame 3 has an external sliding sleeve 8. A handle 11 is fixedly installed on the front surface of the sliding sleeve 8. A resistance-increasing sleeve is fitted on the outside of the handle 11. The resistance-increasing sleeve is a rubber sleeve with resistance-increasing grooves or resistance-increasing rubber particles on its outside, which facilitates the operator's grip on the handle 11 and provides an anti-slip effect. Limiting grooves 5 are opened on the front and rear sides of the left and right sides of the rectangular hollow tube frame 3. The limiting grooves 5 are located below the seedling placement net plate 4. An elastic element is provided in the limiting groove 5. A limiting block 7 is provided on the elastic element. The elastic element is a spring 6. One end of the spring 6 is connected and fixed in the limiting groove 5, and the other end is connected and fixed to the limiting block 7. The limiting block 7 and the limiting groove 5 are inseparable. The spring 6 is made of stainless steel, but is not limited to stainless steel, so that it can be replaced with other materials according to actual use. The upper surface of the limiting block 7 contacts the sliding sleeve 8, and the contact area between the limiting block 7 and the sliding sleeve 8 is flat, so as to limit the contact of the limiting block 7 with the sliding sleeve 8 and prevent the sliding sleeve 8 from sliding down naturally. The upper surface of the limiting block 7 is flush with the lower surface of the seedling placing net plate 4. The upper surface of the limiting block 7 is inclined downward. A rectangular plastic film sleeve 9 is fixed between the base 1 and the sliding sleeve 8. The plastic film sleeve 9 is made of PE plastic film and can be stretched and contracted. The outside of the plastic film sleeve 9 is covered with sunshade coating, which is a prior art material.

[0037] In the above embodiment, during use, seedlings are placed on top of each seedling placement mesh plate 4. After storage, the sliding sleeve 8 is moved outside the rectangular hollow tube frame 3 by holding the handle 11. During the movement of the rectangular hollow tube frame 3, the limiting block 7 and spring 6 are pressed one by one from bottom to top to compress synchronously, so as to avoid the limiting block 7 from blocking the sliding sleeve 8. This ensures that the upper surface of the uppermost limiting block 7 of the rectangular hollow tube frame 3 limits the sliding sleeve 8. During the movement, the plastic film sleeve 9 is extended synchronously, so that after the plastic film sleeve 9 is unfolded, it covers the seedlings on the seedling placement mesh plate 4 to avoid exposure to sunlight and improve the survival rate of seedling planting.

[0038] When seedlings need to be taken from the seedling placement mesh 4 from top to bottom, the sliding sleeve 8 is moved down by the hand handle 11. Due to the inclined surface of the upper surface of the limiting block 7, during the process of the sliding sleeve 8 moving down and contacting the limiting block 7, the moving spring 6 of the limiting block 7 is compressed synchronously along the inclined surface, ensuring that the sliding sleeve 8 moves down to the next layer of seedling placement mesh 4. The plastic film sleeve 9 is retracted at the same time, thus ensuring that the seedling placement mesh 4 on the upper layer is in an open state, which is convenient for taking seedlings. The above scheme realizes the sliding sleeve 8 moving down layer by layer and stabilizing the seedling placement mesh 4, realizing the layer-by-layer taking of seedlings on the seedling placement mesh 4 from top to bottom, and improving the convenience of taking seedlings.

[0039] Example 2, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6Multiple atomizing nozzles 10 are evenly distributed on opposite sides of the inner side of the rectangular hollow tube frame 3. The atomizing nozzles 10 are located between two adjacent seedling placement net plates 4. A water tank 12 located inside the rectangular hollow tube base 2 is installed and fixed at the upper end of the base 1 by fastening screws. A water supply assembly is provided between the water tank 12 and the rectangular hollow tube base 2. The water supply assembly includes a water pump 13, a drain pipe 14 and a pumping pipe 15. The water pump 13 is assembled and fixed to the bottom of the base 1 by fastening screws. The drain pipe 14 connects the rectangular hollow tube base 2 and the drain outlet of the water pump 13. The pumping pipe 15 connects the water tank 12 and the inlet of the water pump 13.

[0040] In the above embodiment, during use, the water pump 13 operates to draw water from the water tank 12 through the water pipe 15, and discharges it into the rectangular hollow tube seat 2 through the drain pipe 14. The water in the rectangular hollow tube seat 2 is discharged into the rectangular hollow tube frame 3, and then atomized and discharged through the atomizing spray holes 10 to spray water onto the seedlings stored on each seedling placement mesh plate 4, thereby improving the humidification effect of the seedlings and further improving the survival rate of the seedlings after planting.

[0041] It should be further noted that: the bottom of the base 1 is connected to a drain head 16 located outside the water tank 12. The drain head 16 facilitates the drainage of water accumulated on the base 1. At the same time, the water tank 12 is connected to a water inlet for replenishing water supply. The water inlet is covered with a cap for sealing and protection.

[0042] This application includes a main controller and a power supply. All electrical components mentioned herein are electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that performs control functions. Existing publicly available power connection technologies are not described in detail here.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
