Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seaweed farming technology, and in particular to a semi-automatic seaweed seedling clamping machine. Background Technology

[0002] When cultivating seaweed such as kelp and wakame, the seedlings need to be clipped onto cultivation clipping ropes. The seedlings, along with the clipping ropes, are then sent into the cultivation area and secured to the ropes. The specific process involves manually splitting the multi-stranded, twisted rope in the opposite direction, inserting the seedling roots between the strands, and using the existing combined force of the strands to secure the seedling.

[0003] Traditional seaweed seedling clamping is primarily manual. However, with increasing demands for efficiency, automated seedling clamping machines have emerged on the market. For example, patent number CN101984786B, titled "Automatic Kelp Seedling Clamping Machine," describes a method using two wooden boards for clamping. The operator controls the process by stepping on the boards. Once the boards are clamped tightly to the clamping rope, the seedling is broken and clamped. The boards are then released, the clamping rope is pulled back a short distance, and the process is repeated. While this method assists workers in clamping seedlings on the rope, it requires the operator to use both hands and feet, increasing physical exertion and reducing efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, how to design a semi-automatic seaweed seedling clamping machine that is simple to operate, has low labor intensity, and high seedling clamping efficiency is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a semi-automatic seaweed seedling clamping machine, which solves the technical problems of existing seaweed seedling clamping machines being complicated to operate, labor-intensive, and having low seedling clamping efficiency.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a semi-automatic seaweed seedling clamping machine, used to unfold a seedling clamping rope made of multiple strands of wire spirally twisted together, including: an operating table, a rope guide assembly, a traction mechanism, and an unfolding mechanism.

[0007] The guide rope assembly includes two guide rollers perpendicular to the operating platform, with their bottom ends rotating on the operating platform at intervals. The traction mechanism includes a traction frame, a rotating wheel, a pressure roller, and a stepper motor. The traction frame is spaced apart from the two guide rollers and fixed to the operating platform. The rotating wheel and the pressure roller rotate at intervals on the traction frame, with their axes parallel to the operating platform. The stepper motor is fixed to the traction frame and is drively connected to the rotating wheel. The seedling clamping rope passes through the gap between the two guide rollers and around the gap between the rotating wheel and the pressure roller. The gap allows for intermittent advancement as the rotating wheel rotates intermittently; the unfolding mechanism includes a support, a cylinder, and a pneumatic clamp A. The support is located between the two guide rollers and the traction frame and is fixed to the operating table on one side corresponding to the seedling clamping rope; the cylinder is fixed to the support and its piston rod reciprocates in a direction perpendicular to the advancement of the seedling clamping rope; the pneumatic clamp A is fixed to the piston rod of the cylinder and can clamp the bundle of threads of the seedling clamping rope to unfold the multi-strand bundle of the seedling clamping rope during the intermittent advancement of the seedling clamping rope, making it easier for workers to manually place seaweed seedlings.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it improves the structure of the traditional seaweed seedling clamping machine. First, a stepper motor drives the rotating wheel to rotate intermittently. Since the seedling clamping rope passes through the gap between the rotating wheel and the pressure wheel, it can be pulled forward intermittently while the rotating wheel is rotating. Then, the piston rod of the cylinder on one side of the seedling clamping rope reciprocates along the direction perpendicular to the forward movement of the seedling clamping rope. Since the pneumatic clamp A is fixed on the piston rod of the cylinder and can clamp the wire bundle of the seedling clamping rope, it can pull one strand of the seedling clamping rope during the intermittent movement of the seedling clamping rope to unfold the multiple strands of the seedling clamping rope, making it easier for workers to manually place seaweed seedlings (when the pneumatic clamp A no longer clamps the seedling clamping rope wire bundle, the multiple strands of the seedling clamping rope will automatically reset and clamp the seaweed seedlings), thus efficiently completing the seedling clamping operation of the seedling clamping rope.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0010] Furthermore, the guide rope assembly also includes a guide frame and two pressure rollers parallel to the operating table. The guide frame is located between the two guide rollers and the support and is fixed on the operating table. The two pressure rollers are spaced apart along the height direction of the operating table and both rotate on the guide frame. The seedling clamping rope passes through the gap between the two pressure rollers.

[0011] The further beneficial effect of adopting the above is that by passing the seedling clamping rope through the two pressure rollers, the seedling clamping rope can be prevented from swaying up and down, thus improving the stability of the seedling clamping rope's movement.

[0012] Furthermore, the guide rope assembly also includes two guide rods perpendicular to the operating table, the two guide rods being located between the guide frame and the support and fixed to the operating table; the bottom ends of the two guide rods are fixed to the operating table at intervals; the seedling clamping rope passes through the gap between the two guide rods.

[0013] The further beneficial effect of adopting the above is that by using the gap between the two guide rods to pass through the seedling clamping rope, the swaying of the seedling clamping rope can be prevented, and the stability of the seedling clamping rope movement can be improved.

[0014] Furthermore, the traction frame includes a fixed frame and a hinged frame. The fixed frame is arranged at intervals with the two guide rollers and fixed on the operating table. The hinged frame is located above the rotating wheel and hinged to the fixed frame. The rotating wheel rotates on the fixed frame. The stepper motor is fixed on the fixed frame. The pressure roller rotates on the hinged frame and its outer wheel surface can press against the outer wheel surface of the rotating wheel.

[0015] The further beneficial effect of adopting the above is that by first rotating the wheel on the fixed frame and then rotating the pressure wheel on the hinged frame, the seedling clamping rope can be pressed tightly when it passes through the gap between the rotating wheel and the pressure wheel, thereby improving the traction efficiency and traction effect.

[0016] Furthermore, the traction mechanism also includes a wheel frame and a guide wheel, the wheel frame being fixed on the traction frame; the guide wheel rotating in the same direction as the rotating wheel and rotating on the wheel frame; the seedling clamping rope passing around the guide wheel.

[0017] Furthermore, the unfolding mechanism also includes a slide rail and a slider. The slide rail is fixed on the bracket and is arranged downwards in sequence from the direction away from the seedling clamping rope to the direction close to the seedling clamping rope. The slider is fixed on the pneumatic clamp A and slides on the slide rail.

[0018] The further beneficial effect of adopting the above is that by fixing the slider on the pneumatic clamp A and sliding it on the slide rail, the stability of the movement of the pneumatic clamp A can be improved.

[0019] Furthermore, the unfolding mechanism also includes a pneumatic clamp B, which is arranged opposite to the pneumatic clamp A and fixed to the operating table on the other side of the seedling clamping rope, so as to cooperate with the pneumatic clamp A to simultaneously clamp the two strands of the seedling clamping rope and unfold the multiple strands of the seedling clamping rope at a large angle.

[0020] The further beneficial effect of adopting the above is that by using pneumatic clamps A and B respectively distributed on both sides of the seedling clamping rope, the multi-strand bundle of the seedling clamping rope can be spread out at a larger angle, making it convenient for workers to manually place seaweed seedlings.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes a controller, which is fixed on the operating table and electrically connected to the stepper motor, the cylinder, the pneumatic clamp A and the pneumatic clamp B respectively.

[0022] Furthermore, it also includes multiple casters, which rotate at intervals at the bottom end of the operating table. Attached Figure Description
