[0002] The process of transplanting seedlings mainly includes picking up the seedling pots, unfolding the seedling pots, filling the seedling pots with soil, placing the seedlings, and planting the seedlings. Currently, the seedling pots are usually unfolded manually, and the soil is filled and the seedlings are planted, which is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, embodiments of this utility model propose a seedling pot unfolding mechanism, including a fixed suction cup group, a movable suction cup group, and a storage box. The fixed suction cup group and the movable suction cup group are arranged opposite to each other. The movable suction cup group is connected to a cylinder, which is used to push and pull the movable suction cup group. A rotary cylinder is installed at the bottom of the cylinder, which is used to rotate the movable suction cup group so that the movable suction cup group faces the fixed suction cup group or faces the storage box.

[0004] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the storage box includes a box body, a baffle, and a pull rod. The box body has at least three chambers, the front of each chamber is open, the baffle is inserted into the chamber and is in a vertical position, the pull rod is fixedly installed on the back of the baffle, and the rear section of the pull rod extends out of the box body.

[0005] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a spring is fitted on the pull rod, and the spring is located between the back of the baffle and the back plate of the box.

[0006] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a stop block is provided at the front opening of the chamber. Four stop blocks are provided, and the four stop blocks are respectively arranged at the corners of the chamber. The two stop blocks located on the same wide side are in a figure-eight shape.

[0007] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the fixed suction cup group includes a first suction cup, a support plate, and a bracket. Six first suction cups are used, and three support plates are used. The three support plates are fixed side by side on the bracket, and two first suction cups are fixed on each support plate.

[0008] According to some embodiments of this utility model, three cylinders are used, and the three cylinders are fixed on a rotating plate, with the rotating plate connected to the rotating cylinders.

[0009] When retrieving the seedling bags, the rotary cylinder 500 rotates 90°, and the cylinder 400 extends the movable suction cup assembly 200 to adhere to the seedling bag. Then, the cylinder 400 retracts the movable suction cup assembly 200 to remove the seedling bag from the storage box 300. After the rotary cylinder 500 rotates 90° counterclockwise to reset, the cylinder 400 extends again, causing the fixed suction cup assembly 100 to adhere to the other side of the seedling bag. The cylinder 400 then retracts again, opening the seedling bag. This replaces the existing manual bag opening operation and improves production efficiency.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 , 2 The seedling pot unfolding mechanism includes a fixed suction cup group 100, a movable suction cup group 200, and a storage box 300. The fixed suction cup group 100 and the movable suction cup group 200 are arranged opposite each other. The movable suction cup group 200 is connected to a cylinder 400, which is used to push and pull the movable suction cup group 200. The bottom of the cylinder 400 is equipped with a rotary cylinder 500, which is used to rotate the movable suction cup group 200 so that the movable suction cup group 200 faces the fixed suction cup group 100 or faces the storage box 300.

[0021] When retrieving the seedling bags, the rotary cylinder 500 rotates 90°, and the cylinder 400 extends the movable suction cup assembly 200 to adhere to the seedling bag. Then, the cylinder 400 retracts the movable suction cup assembly 200 to remove the seedling bag from the storage box 300. After the rotary cylinder 500 rotates 90° counterclockwise to reset, the cylinder 400 extends again, causing the fixed suction cup assembly 100 to adhere to the other side of the seedling bag. The cylinder 400 then retracts again, opening the seedling bag. This replaces the existing manual bag opening operation and improves production efficiency.

[0022] Reference Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the storage box 300 includes a box body 310, a baffle 320, and a pull rod 330. The box body 310 has at least three chambers with openings at the front. The baffle 320 is inserted into the chamber and is in a vertical position. The pull rod 330 is fixedly installed on the back of the baffle 320. The rear section of the pull rod 330 extends out of the box body 310. A spring 340 is sleeved on the pull rod 330 and is located between the back of the baffle 320 and the back plate of the box body 310.

[0023] A stop block 350 is provided at the front opening of the chamber. There are four stop blocks 350, which are respectively located at the corners of the chamber. The two stop blocks 350 located on the same wide side are arranged in a figure-eight shape.

[0024] The seedling bags are compacted and inserted into the chamber. The corners of the seedling bags are clamped between the baffle 350 and the baffle 320. Under the force of the spring 340, the seedling bags are kept in a compacted state.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixed suction cup group 100 includes a first suction cup 110, a support plate 120, and a bracket 130. There are six first suction cups 110 and three support plates 120. The three support plates 120 are fixed side by side on the bracket 130, and two first suction cups 110 are fixed on each support plate 120.

[0026] There are three cylinders 400, which are fixed on the rotating plate 600 and connected to the rotating cylinder 500.

[0027] This allows for the simultaneous opening of three seedling bags.
