Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seedling transportation technology, specifically a seedling transportation device for artificial afforestation. Background Technology
[0002] Afforestation refers to the activity of re-establishing forest ecosystems in areas that were previously barren or where forests have been destroyed through human intervention. It is an important means of ecological restoration and addressing climate change, aiming to restore vegetation, improve the environment, protect biodiversity, and provide sustainable resources for humankind.
[0003] In the process of afforestation, a large number of seedlings need to be transplanted, and a large number of seedlings need to be transported during the transplanting process. At present, the existing seedling transportation methods are relatively crude, simply piling the seedlings randomly in the carriage for transportation, which easily leads to collisions and damage between the seedlings. In addition, the seedlings are not secured, which can easily cause them to roll and affect driving safety. To address these issues, those skilled in the art have proposed a seedling transportation device for afforestation to solve the problems mentioned in the background. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a seedling transportation device for artificial afforestation, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A seedling transport device for artificial afforestation includes a transport frame. Both sides of the transport frame have several equally spaced root grooves and trunk grooves, which are interconnected. The trunk grooves are inclined. The trunk grooves on both sides of the transport frame are arranged intersectingly. Mounting frames are installed on both sides of the trunk grooves on the transport frame. A rotating rod is rotatably mounted on one side of the mounting frame, and a limit rod is installed on the rotating rod. The device also includes:
[0007] A drive mechanism is provided inside the transport frame and is used to drive several rotating rods on the same side of the transport frame to rotate synchronously.
[0008] A synchronization mechanism is installed inside the transport frame to synchronize the drive mechanisms on both sides of the transport frame.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the driving mechanism includes a rotating shaft rotatably disposed inside the transport frame and corresponding one-to-one with the trunk groove, a first bevel gear is installed at the top of the rotating shaft, a second bevel gear meshing with the first bevel gear is installed on the rotating rod, a transmission shaft is rotatably disposed on both sides inside the transport frame, a worm gear is installed on the transmission shaft, and a worm wheel meshing with the worm gear is installed at the bottom of the rotating shaft.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the synchronization mechanism includes a motor installed inside the transport frame and connected to a drive shaft on one side, and synchronous pulleys are installed on the drive shafts on both sides, and the two synchronous pulleys are connected by a synchronous belt.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, an arc-shaped bracket is provided on the top of each trunk groove.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, foam cotton is laid at the bottom of the root groove.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model installs the transport frame inside the cargo compartment of the transport vehicle, and then uses a lifting device to place the roots of multiple transplanted seedlings into multiple root grooves, while the trunks of the transplanted seedlings are placed in the trunk grooves. This allows for the separation and staggered placement of the transported seedlings, preventing them from colliding and being damaged. Then, driven by the drive mechanism and the synchronization mechanism, several rotating rods on the transport frame rotate synchronously, causing the limit rods, which were originally in a vertical state, to rotate to a horizontal state, thereby locking the trunks of the seedlings in the trunk grooves. This limits the trunks and prevents the seedlings from rolling during transport, which would affect driving safety. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0020] Please see Figures 1-4A seedling transportation device for artificial afforestation includes a transport frame 1. Both sides of the transport frame 1 have several equally spaced root grooves 2 and trunk grooves 3, which are interconnected. The trunk grooves 3 are inclined. The trunk grooves 3 on both sides of the transport frame 1 are arranged intersectingly. Mounting frames 5 are installed on both sides of the trunk grooves 3 on the transport frame 1. A rotating rod 6 is rotatably mounted on one side of the mounting frame 5, and a limit rod 7 is installed on the rotating rod 6. The device also includes:
[0021] A drive mechanism is provided inside the transport frame 1, which is used to drive several rotating rods 6 on the same side of the transport frame 1 to rotate synchronously.
[0022] A synchronization mechanism is installed inside the transport frame 1 to synchronize the drive mechanisms on both sides of the transport frame 1.
[0023] By installing the transport frame 1 inside the transport vehicle, the roots of multiple transplanted seedlings are placed into multiple root grooves 2 using a lifting device, while the trunks of the transplanted seedlings are placed in trunk grooves 3. This allows the transported seedlings to be separated and staggered, preventing them from colliding and being damaged. Then, driven by the drive mechanism and the synchronization mechanism, several rotating rods 6 on the transport frame 1 rotate synchronously, causing the limit rods 7, which were originally in a vertical position, to rotate to a horizontal position, thereby locking the trunks of the seedlings in the trunk grooves 3. This limits the trunks and prevents the seedlings from rolling during transport, which could affect driving safety.
[0024] In one instance of this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The driving mechanism includes a rotating shaft 8 rotatably disposed inside the transport frame 1 and corresponding one-to-one with the trunk groove 3. A first bevel gear 9 is installed at the top of the rotating shaft 8. A second bevel gear 10 meshing with the first bevel gear 9 is installed on the rotating rod 6. A transmission shaft 12 is rotatably disposed on both sides inside the transport frame 1. A worm gear 13 is installed on the transmission shaft 12. A worm wheel 11 meshing with the worm gear 13 is installed at the bottom of the rotating shaft 8.
[0025] The synchronization mechanism includes a motor 16 installed inside the transport frame 1 and connected to a drive shaft 12 on one side. Synchronous pulleys 14 are installed on the drive shafts 12 on both sides, and the two synchronous pulleys 14 are connected by a synchronous belt 15.
[0026] In this embodiment, after multiple seedlings are placed on the transport frame 1, the motor 16 is started by an external controller. The motor 16 drives the transmission shaft 12 connected to it to rotate, and drives the transmission shaft 12 on the other side to rotate through the synchronous wheel 14 and the synchronous belt 15. This drives the worm gear 13 on the two transmission shafts 12 to rotate. The rotation of the worm gear 13 drives the worm wheel 11 that meshes with it to rotate, thereby driving several rotating shafts 8 on both sides of the transport frame 1 to rotate synchronously. The first bevel gear 9 and the second bevel gear 10 meshing together can drive the rotating rod 6 to rotate, thereby driving the limiting rod 7 to rotate. In the initial state, the limiting rod 7 is in a vertical state, so it does not affect the placement of the seedling trunk in the trunk groove 3. When the limiting rod 7 rotates to a horizontal state, it can lock the trunk groove 3, thereby locking the trunk of the seedling placed in the trunk groove 3 and preventing the seedling from rolling during the transportation process, which would affect the driving safety.
[0027] In one instance of this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The top of each trunk groove 3 is provided with an arc-shaped bracket 4.
[0028] In this embodiment, in order to make the seedlings placed in the trunk groove 3 more stable, the arc-shaped bracket 4 can effectively support the trunk of the seedlings, and the surface of the arc-shaped bracket 4 is covered with a rubber soft sleeve, which can buffer and protect the surface of the trunk.
[0029] In one instance of this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 Foam cotton is laid at the bottom of the root groove 2.
[0030] In this embodiment, foam cotton is installed in the root groove 2 for supporting the roots of the seedlings, so as to effectively cushion and support the roots of the seedlings placed in the root groove 2. Generally, during the transplanting of seedlings, the roots of the seedlings are wrapped with spherical soil blocks to provide nutrients to the seedlings. The cushioning effect of foam cotton can prevent the soil blocks from breaking due to bumps during transportation, and the effect is better.
[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: By installing the transport frame 1 inside the carriage of the transport vehicle, the roots of multiple transplanted seedlings are placed into multiple root grooves 2 by the lifting equipment, while the trunks of the transplanted seedlings are placed in the trunk grooves 3. This allows the transported seedlings to be separated and staggered, preventing them from colliding and being damaged. Then, driven by the drive mechanism and the synchronization mechanism, several rotating rods 6 on the transport frame 1 rotate synchronously, causing the limit rods 7, which were originally in a vertical state, to rotate to a horizontal state, thereby locking the trunks of the seedlings in the trunk grooves 3. This limits the trunks and prevents the seedlings from rolling during transport, which would affect driving safety.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
