Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of tree planting equipment, and in particular relates to a tree planting system for ecological restoration. Background Technology

[0002] With desertification becoming increasingly severe, tree planting is one of the most crucial steps in windbreak and sand fixation. Traditional manual tree planting, mainly involving digging, filling, and burying, is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient, thus only suitable for small-scale planting. Existing equipment on the market designed to improve planting efficiency only addresses the digging, filling, and burying processes, failing to achieve highly efficient tree planting.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a tree planting system for ecological restoration to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies, a tree planting system for ecological restoration is provided, which can solve the problem that existing tree planting equipment cannot complete the digging, filling, and burying processes in one go.

[0005] A tree-planting system for ecological restoration, provided to achieve the purpose of this utility model, includes a frame with wheels symmetrically mounted on both sides for movement. A drilling mechanism is fixed to the front side below the top plate of the frame for drilling in the ground. A seedling storage mechanism is installed above the top plate of the frame for storing seedlings. Both the seedling storage mechanism and the top plate of the frame have clearance holes in the same vertical direction. A seedling delivery mechanism is installed below the clearance holes on the top plate of the frame for delivering seedlings from the storage mechanism into the drilled holes in the ground. A water tank is installed in the hollow cavity of the frame for watering the seedlings. A soil compaction mechanism is installed at the lower part of the frame for compacting the soil around the seedlings. The drilling mechanism, seedling storage mechanism, water tank, soil compaction mechanism, and seedling delivery mechanism are all electrically connected to a central control unit for coordinated operation.

[0006] As a further improvement to the above solution, the drilling mechanism includes a scissor-type telescopic frame, which is composed of multiple sets of connecting rods arranged in a cross pattern. A pin on one side of the top of the scissor-type telescopic frame is fixed to the lower part of a fixed frame. A pin on the other side of the top of the scissor-type telescopic frame is inserted into a first sliding groove below the fixed frame. A pin on one side of the bottom of the scissor-type telescopic frame is fixed to the top surface of a fixed base plate. A pin on the other side of the bottom of the scissor-type telescopic frame is inserted into a second sliding groove on the top surface of the fixed base plate. The pin on the other side of the top of the scissor-type telescopic frame is also movably connected to one end of a telescopic rod. The other end of the telescopic rod is movably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame to provide power for the extension and retraction of the scissor-type telescopic frame. A first motor is installed below the fixed base plate, and the output shaft of the first motor is fixed to the upper end of the drill rod. The top surface of the fixed frame is fixed below the top plate of the vehicle frame.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above solution, the seedling storage mechanism includes a track groove, the bottom of which is fixed to the top of the frame. A clearance hole is provided at the same vertical position on the track groove and the frame top. A seedling storage bin is provided inside the track groove. A first rack is fixed to one side of the seedling storage bin. A second motor is provided on the frame top. A first transmission gear is sleeved on the output shaft of the second motor. The first rack meshes with the first transmission gear to achieve horizontal movement of the seedling storage bin. A through hole is provided at the top of the seedling storage bin for dropping seedlings through the through hole and clearance hole into the seedling delivery mechanism.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, the soil compaction mechanism includes a support frame. The bottom of the support frame is fixed to the vehicle frame, and the front side of the support frame is fixed to the bottom surface of the base. The upper and lower halves of the top surface of the base extend forward to form a triangular fixing plate and a support rod, respectively. A third motor is fixed to the free end of the triangular fixing plate. The output shaft of the third motor passes through a through hole at the free end of the triangular fixing plate and is fixed to one end of a crank to drive the crank. The other end of the crank is rotatably connected to one end of a transmission rod through a pin. The other end of the transmission rod is a ball head structure, which is embedded in a spherical groove at the upper end of the pressure rod. The middle part of the pressure rod is fitted into a ring at the free end of the support rod. A horseshoe-shaped compaction plate is fixed to the lower end of the pressure rod to further improve the soil compaction effect.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the seedling delivery mechanism includes a track box with an open front. A slider is built into the track box, and its front end is movably connected to one end of a rotating arm. The other end of the rotating arm is movably connected to a first crossbeam. Both ends of the first crossbeam are fixed to a set of fixed beams in the middle of the frame. One side of the slider passes through a limiting square hole in the track frame and is fixed to the seedling delivery chamber. The rear of the track box is fixed to one side of a second rack. The bottom of the second rack contacts the top of the second crossbeam, thus preventing the second rack from wobbling in the vertical direction. The second crossbeam is arranged parallel to the first crossbeam, and both ends are also fixed to a set of fixed beams in the middle of the frame. A fourth motor is installed behind the second crossbeam, and a second transmission gear is sleeved on the output shaft of the fourth motor. The second transmission gear meshes with the second rack to achieve horizontal movement of the track box, thereby driving the vertical movement of the seedling delivery chamber.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the outer wall of the drill rod is also provided with helical saw blades to better excavate the soil in the hole.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the tree planting system for ecological restoration provided by this utility model achieves the one-time completion of the digging, filling, and burying processes during tree planting through the cooperation of a drilling mechanism, a seedling storage mechanism, a water tank, a soil covering and compaction mechanism, and a seedling delivery mechanism. At the same time, the drilling mechanism adopts a scissor-type telescopic frame for raising and lowering, which is stable in operation and has a strong load-bearing capacity, achieving a balance between high efficiency, stability, and space economy in drilling operations. In addition, the seedling delivery mechanism uses a gear-rack-track box-rotating arm to raise and lower the seedling delivery bin, thereby guiding the seedlings from the seedling storage mechanism into the hole.

[0013] In summary, the tree planting system provided by this utility model is stable and reliable in operation, easy to operate, and achieves smooth and economical automated planting operations. Attached Figure Description
