Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a novel vertical tray feeding machine for rapid seeding, belonging to the technical field of agricultural mechanization equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Mechanical seedling raising and sowing technology was developed to address the problems of low efficiency, high labor intensity, and unstable seedling quality associated with traditional seedling raising methods. Traditional seedling raising methods typically require a large amount of manual labor, such as sowing, covering with soil, and watering. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also easily affected by weather and human factors, leading to inconsistent seedling raising results.

[0003] With the advancement of agricultural mechanization, mechanized seedling raising technology has gradually matured and is widely used. This technology utilizes mechanized equipment for sowing, covering, and watering, greatly improving seedling raising efficiency, reducing labor intensity, and enhancing seedling quality through standardized and precise control of various parameters during the process.

[0004] Mechanized seedling raising and sowing technology offers advantages such as labor and time savings, high efficiency, and high quality. For example, mechanized seedling raising equipment can raise 1200 trays of seedlings per hour, completing 200 mu (approximately 33 acres) of seedling raising work per day, which is more than 60 times faster than traditional seedling raising methods. Furthermore, mechanized seedling raising allows for seed treatment with pesticides, preventing pests and diseases at the source and reducing the pressure of pest and disease control in the later stages.

[0005] The development of mechanized seedling raising and sowing technology relies on standardization and large-scale production. Among these, the seedling tray is one of the most important production tools. All operations in mechanized seedling raising and sowing technology are related to the seedling tray, such as sowing, covering with soil, watering, and transporting. It can be said that the operation of the seedling tray in seedling production is key to improving seedling raising efficiency and reducing labor intensity.

[0006] In conclusion, with the continuous development of mechanized seedling raising and sowing technology, it is essential to develop automatic tray feeding machinery. It enables automatic supply of seedling trays to the entire production line, greatly reducing labor intensity and improving seedling raising efficiency. Utility Model Content
