Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery, and in particular to an automatic transplanting machine for the traditional Chinese medicine Salvia miltiorrhiza. Background Technology

[0002] As an important traditional Chinese medicine, the efficiency and quality of Danshen's cultivation directly affect its yield and efficacy. Traditional manual transplanting suffers from low efficiency, uneven plant spacing, and high labor intensity. Existing transplanting machines are mostly designed for two or three rows, making it difficult to meet the agronomical requirements of four-row Danshen planting. While the four-row staggered planting pattern can significantly improve land utilization and seedling survival rate, existing equipment still faces many challenges in implementing four-row transplanting: poor seedling synchronization during four-row transplanting easily leads to missed plantings or overlaps; large equipment lacks flexibility and is difficult to adapt to small plots; and the planting depth adjustment range is limited, making it unable to match different soil conditions.

[0003] In the existing technology, patent CN221784645U discloses a four-wheel drive transplanter, but its seedling feeding mechanism does not meet the characteristics of Salvia miltiorrhiza seedlings. The opening size of the seedling cup is too large, making it easy for the seedlings to tilt and get stuck when planted. While patent CN116982444A achieves automatic seedling feeding, its four-row transplanting synchronization relies on a single chain drive. The cumulative error of the chain easily leads to large fluctuations in plant spacing, and it lacks a depth compensation device, resulting in poor consistency in planting depth. The stability problem of four-row synchronous transplanting has not yet been solved. Therefore, developing a transplanting device that can efficiently and accurately complete the transplanting of Salvia miltiorrhiza while possessing good adaptability and economy has become a key issue in the mechanization of Salvia miltiorrhiza cultivation.

[0004] In view of this, this utility model proposes a miniature self-propelled device specifically designed for transplanting four rows of Salvia miltiorrhiza. Through innovative structural design, it optimizes the precision and efficiency of Salvia miltiorrhiza planting. Utility Model Content

During the movement, the transplanting mechanism 4 intermittently plants and transplants seedlings in the soil at predetermined intervals.

[0035] Planting and transplanting steps of a mini self-propelled Salvia miltiorrhiza transplanter:

[0036] In use, first start the engine 5-1, select the travel gear using the control handle 1-10 on the armrest 1-9, and adjust the height adjustment device 1-3 to the target planting depth. Place the *Salvia miltiorrhiza* seedlings to be transplanted into the seedling cup body 3-27. Align the bottom discharge hole of the base 3-1 near the seedling feeding mechanism 3 with the top feed hole of the duckbill planting device 4-12. Then, open the seedling cup cover 3-30, allowing the *Salvia miltiorrhiza* seedlings to fall into the duckbill planting device 4-12 through the discharge hole of the base 3-1. Then, the duckbill planting device 4-12... Insert the lower part into the soil, bury the Salvia miltiorrhiza seedlings in the soil and release the seedlings to complete a single planting. This mini self-propelled Salvia miltiorrhiza transplanter has three transplanting gears. When the gear is adjusted to the low transplanting gear, the theoretical plant spacing of the transplanter is 30.6; when adjusted to the high transplanting gear, the theoretical plant spacing of the transplanter is 40.6. Example 2

[0037] Based on Example 1, the following is added:

[0038] Reference Figure 1 In addition to the above and below, seats 1-8 are installed on the upper front part of the frame 1. The seats are designed to face away from the direction of travel, allowing the operator to sit on them and place the Salvia miltiorrhiza seedlings into the seedling cups 3-27. The installation position of the seats 1-8 ensures that the operator is more comfortable and stable during operation, avoids fatigue from bending over for a long time, and improves work efficiency.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 , 2 4. Near the handrails 1-9, control handles 1-10 are installed. The control handles 1-10 are directly in front of the frame 1. The control handles 1-10 include forward and backward control handles, steering control handles and control handles for the transplanting mechanism 4. The operator can use these control handles to achieve full control of the transplanter.

[0040] Steps for planting, walking, and turning of a mini self-propelled Salvia miltiorrhiza transplanter.

[0041] When using the machine, first start the transplanter, turn off the transplanting switch on the handles 1-9 on the frame 1, adjust the direction of travel by controlling the handles 1-10, and the operator standing at the end of the handle will gently lift the transplanter to turn it in the field. Example 3

[0042] Based on Example 2, the following is added:

[0043] Reference Figure 1 , 2The transmission system 5 consists of a walking transmission system and a transplanting transmission system. The walking transmission system transmits the power of the engine 5-1 to the drive wheels 2-1 through the walking reducer 5-6, ensuring that the machine can move smoothly in the field. The walking transmission system has low-speed, medium-speed, and high-speed gears, and the speed can be adjusted according to the terrain and operation requirements to adapt to different working environments.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 , 2 4. The base 3-1 of the seedling feeding mechanism 3 has a ring of seedling cups arranged around the drive shaft and the driven shaft, with a total of 32 cups. Each group of 4 seedling cups is connected to the upper sprocket chain 3-25 and the lower sprocket chain 3-26 respectively through upper L-shaped support plates 3-28 and lower L-shaped support plates 3-29 of different lengths. The lower cover 3-30 of the seedling cup is in a corresponding position to the bottom discharge hole on the base 3-1 of the seedling feeding mechanism 3, ensuring that the Salvia miltiorrhiza seedlings can be accurately dropped into the duckbill planting device 4-12.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 , 2 4. Seats 1-8 are installed near the seedling feeding mechanism 3, with the seats 1-8 facing away from the frame 1 and moving directly in front.

[0046] The tension guide bushing 3-8 and the U-shaped support plate 3-9 in the seedling feeding mechanism can be used to adjust the tension of the upper sprocket chain 3-25 and the lower sprocket chain 3-26 of the seedling feeding cup conveying chain. This avoids the seedlings being incorrectly fed at the wrong time, resulting in missing seedlings, and enhances the practicality and reliability of the equipment.

[0047] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
