[0025] As Figures 1 to 8 Shown, a seedling seedling lifting mechanism, it includes seedling lifting cylinder 1, the bottom of seedling lifting cylinder 1 is hinged with multiple movable parts 2 for closing the bottom opening thereof, seedling lifting cylinder 1 is polygonal structure, the number of movable parts 2 is same with the side number of seedling lifting cylinder 1, the shape of movable part 2 is triangle, the side of multiple movable parts 2 towards the center of seedling lifting cylinder 1 is all provided with chamfer, seedling lifting cylinder 1 is equipped with adjusting assembly 3 at the position corresponding multiple movable parts 2, the top of seedling lifting cylinder 1 one side is fixedly installed with first handle 4, the side close to first handle 4 of seedling lifting cylinder 1 is equipped with drive assembly 5 for controlling multiple adjusting assemblies 3 synchronous operation.

[0026] As Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 And Figure 8As shown, the adjusting assembly 3 comprises a hinged piece 301 fixedly installed on the top of the movable piece 2, the top of the hinged piece 301 is arc-shaped, the arc-shaped surface of the hinged piece 301 is provided with a plurality of meshing grooves 302, the outer side of the seedling raising cylinder 1 close to the hinged piece 301 is slidably provided with a plurality of racks 303, the racks 303 are engaged with the meshing grooves 302, the seedling raising cylinder 1 is provided with a hinged groove 101 at the position corresponding to the hinged piece 301, the hinged piece 301 is rotationally matched with the hinged groove 101 through a rotating shaft (not numbered in the figure), the seedling raising cylinder 1 is provided with a sliding groove 102 at the position corresponding to each of the plurality of racks 303, the sliding groove 102 is communicated with the hinged groove 101, the cooperation between the racks 303 and the plurality of meshing grooves 302 enables the movable piece 2 to swing around the rotating shaft to the center of the seedling raising cylinder 1, so as to not only separate the connection between the bottom end of the soil core column and the soil, but also close the opening at the bottom of the seedling raising cylinder 1, when the opening at the bottom of the seedling raising cylinder 1 is closed by the plurality of movable pieces 2, the seedling raising cylinder 1 can be pulled out from the inside of the soil through the first handle 4, so that the plurality of movable pieces 2 can be closed together to enclose the seedling and the soil core column in the seedling raising cylinder 1, ensuring that the soil core column around the root of the seedling remains intact during the seedling raising process, which helps to maintain the growth environment of the seedling root system and provides better conditions for the growth of the transplanted seedling, further improving the survival rate of the transplanted seedling.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the driving assembly 5 comprises a movable ring 501, the movable ring 501 is a polygonal structure, the number of sides of the movable ring 501 is the same as the number of sides of the seedling raising cylinder 1, the top of the movable ring 501 is fixedly installed with a second handle 502 on the side close to the first handle 4, the top end of each of the plurality of racks 303 is fixedly connected with the movable ring 501, the length of the first handle 4 is greater than the length of the second handle 502 (the first handle 4 can play a role in assisting holding and stabilizing the seedling raising cylinder 1 during operation, while the second handle 502 integrates the functions of controlling the shaking and closing of the movable piece 2, the operator can flexibly operate according to actual needs, one hand can complete a variety of operations, which is convenient and fast), when the seedling raising cylinder 1 is inserted into the soil, the movable ring 501 is moved up and down by slightly pulling or pushing the second handle 502, when the movable ring 501 moves up or down, the cooperation between the racks 303 and the plurality of meshing grooves 302 enables the movable piece 2 to swing reciprocatingly around the rotating shaft, so as to make the movable piece 2 vibrate (or shake) in a virtual manner, the vibration (or shaking) of the movable piece 2 can loosen the soil around the root of the seedling, making the seedling raising process easier, especially for seedlings with more developed root systems or deeper roots, which can be more completely pulled out after loosening the soil, improving the survival rate of the seedlings, and also avoiding damage to the root system of the seedling when directly pulling the seedling.

[0028] The work process is as follows:

[0029] S1: As Figures 1 to 3 As shown, when lifting seedlings, the seedling lifting tube 1 is inserted into the soil by controlling the first handle 4. At this time, the movable part 2 (the movable part 2 is triangular in shape and the side of the multiple movable parts 2 facing the center of the seedling lifting tube 1 is chamfered, which can improve the soil breaking effect of the movable part 2) can be used to facilitate the insertion of the seedling lifting tube 1 into the soil, reduce the labor intensity of the operator and improve the seedling lifting efficiency.

[0030] S2: As Figures 1 to 3 As shown, when the seedling tube 1 is inserted into the soil, the movable ring 501 moves up and down back and forth by slightly pulling or pushing the second handle 502.

[0031] S3: As Figures 1 to 4 As shown, when the movable ring 501 moves up or down, the engagement between the rack 303 and multiple meshing grooves 302 causes the movable part 2 to oscillate back and forth around the axis of rotation, thereby indirectly causing the movable part 2 to vibrate (or shake).

[0032] S4: As Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the vibration (or shaking) of the movable part 2 can loosen the soil around the seedling roots, making the seedling lifting process easier. Especially for seedlings with well-developed or deep roots, loosening the soil allows them to be pulled out more completely, improving the survival rate of the seedlings and avoiding damage to the seedling roots that may be caused when pulling the seedlings directly.

[0033] S5: As Figures 5 to 8 As shown, when the seedling tube 1 is inserted to a specified depth, the second handle 502 is pushed to make the movable ring 501 fit against the top of the seedling tube 1. At this time, the cooperation between the rack 303 and the multiple meshing grooves 302 is used to make the movable part 2 swing towards the center of the seedling tube 1 around the axis of rotation. This makes the multiple movable parts 2 separate the connection between the bottom end of the soil core column and the soil, and also makes the multiple movable parts 2 close the opening at the bottom of the seedling tube 1.

[0034] S6: As Figures 5 to 8 As shown, when the opening at the bottom of the seedling tube 1 is closed by multiple movable parts 2, the seedling tube 1 can be pulled out of the soil by the first handle 4. Thus, the multiple movable parts 2 can be closed together (the multiple movable parts 2 can be separated by pulling the second handle 502), sealing the seedling and soil core inside the seedling tube 1. This ensures that the soil core around the seedling roots remains intact during the seedling lifting process, which helps maintain the growth environment of the seedling roots, provides better conditions for the growth of the seedlings after transplanting, and further improves the survival rate of the seedlings after transplanting.

[0035] The basic principle, main features and advantages of the present application are shown and described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited by the above examples, and the above examples and descriptions in the specification are only to illustrate the principles of the present application. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, various changes and improvements can be made to the present application, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the claimed present application.
