Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crop planting technology, and in particular to a potato planting machine that can automatically fill soil. Background Technology

[0002] The potato, also known as the spud, is a widely cultivated crop, an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the genus *Solanum* of the family Solanaceae. Its tubers are rich in starch, protein, vitamin C, and various minerals, making it one of the world's most important food crops. Originally from the Andes Mountains of South America, the potato is now widely cultivated in countries around the world. It is highly adaptable, growing in a variety of soil and climate conditions, and can be used as a staple food or processed into various foods such as potato chips and French fries.

[0003] When planting potatoes, after the potato seed tubers are cut, they need to be mixed with wood ash. This can effectively prevent the seed tubers from rotting, greatly improve the germination rate and survival rate of potatoes, and effectively prevent the occurrence of missing seedlings and broken rows.

[0004] In potato cultivation, traditional methods typically rely on manual digging, planting, and covering with soil. This is not only inefficient but also labor-intensive, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale planting. To improve planting efficiency, planting devices are needed. However, some existing planting devices have limited functionality and lack a complete soil-filling mechanism, resulting in significant manual intervention after planting and affecting overall operational efficiency. Currently, some potato planting machines use chain drive components to grasp and transport seed potatoes. However, because the chain drive components are close to the seed potatoes, wood ash and soil adhering to the seed potato surface easily stick to the chain. Prolonged use can cause transmission problems or even equipment failure, increasing maintenance costs and affecting planting accuracy and work efficiency. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] A potato planter that can automatically fill soil, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the device includes a planting machine body 1, a storage bin 2, a rotating wheel 3, a soil filling tray 4, a needle assembly, a guide frame 10, a first inclined surface 203, and a second inclined surface 101. The storage bin 2 is hinged to the planting machine body 1. The top of the storage bin 2 is open, and the rotating wheel 3 is installed at the bottom of the storage bin 2. The guide frame 10 is connected to the side of the storage bin 2 closest to the planting machine body 1. Both the top and bottom sides of the guide frame 10 are open. Soil filling trays 4 are connected to the front and rear sides of the storage bin 2 near the guide frame 10. The bottom of the soil filling tray 4 is aligned with the bottom of the rotating wheel 3. The storage box 2 is connected to a needle assembly. The storage box 2 has a perforation 202 on the side near the guide frame 10 for seed potatoes to pass through. The storage box 2 is connected to the guide frame 10 through the perforation 202. The bottom of the storage box 2 is provided with a first inclined surface 203. The side of the first inclined surface 203 near the guide frame 10 is lower than the side away from the guide frame 10. The top of the guide frame 10 is provided with a second inclined surface 101 on the side near the storage box 2. The top of the second inclined surface 101 extends into the storage box 2 through the perforation 202. The inner diameter of the top of the guide frame 10 is larger than the inner diameter of the bottom.

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the needle assembly includes a rotating shaft 5, a fixed needle 8, a first motor 6, a rotating component, and barbs 81. The rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected inside the storage box 2, and the first motor 6 is installed on the outer wall of the storage box 2. The rotating component is connected to the rotating shaft 5, the fixed needle 8 is connected to the rotating component, and the barbs 81 are connected to the fixed needle 8.

[0021] like Figures 1-4As shown, the rotating assembly includes a rotating rod 7 and a second motor 9. The rotating rod 7 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 5 and passes through the rotating shaft 5. The second motor 9 is mounted on the rotating shaft 5 and the output shaft of the second motor 9 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 7. The storage box 2 has a first through hole 201 on the side near the guide frame 10 through which the rotating rod 7 and the fixing pin 8 pass. The first through hole 201 communicates with the through hole 202. The guide frame 10 has a second through hole 102 on the side near the storage box 2 for the rotating rod 7 and the fixing pin 8 to pass through.

[0022] Initially, the rotating rod 7 passes through the first through hole 201 and the second through hole 102, and the fixing pin 8 is located inside the guide frame 10. When planting potatoes, the seed potatoes are poured into the storage box 2, and the rotating shaft 5 is driven by the first motor 6 to rotate counterclockwise 360 ​​degrees. During this process, the rotating rod 7 rotates counterclockwise along the axis of the rotating shaft 5 away from the guide frame 10. The rotating rod 7 drives the fixing pin 8 to pass through the first through hole 201 and the second through hole 102 into the storage box 2. The fixing pin 8 first passes through the bottom of the storage box 2, so that the fixing pin 8 is stuck in the bottom. On the seed potatoes at the bottom of the storage box 2, the rotating rod 7 continues to rotate via the rotating shaft 5, causing the rotating rod 7 to drive the seed potatoes on the fixing pin 8 to rotate counterclockwise towards the top of the guide frame 10. The second motor 9 drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate 180 degrees. The rotating rod 7 extends into the top of the guide frame 10 through the first through hole 201 and the second through hole 102. The seed potatoes pass through the through hole 202 and enter the guide frame 10. When the rotating rod 7 rotates counterclockwise away from the guide frame 10, the seed potatoes cannot pass through the first through hole 201 and the second through hole 102, and remain in the guide frame... Under the squeezing action of 10, the seed potato on the fixing needle 8 falls along the second inclined plane 101 into the guide frame 10. The seed potato then falls into the pit dug by the planting machine body 1 through the guide frame 10. Finally, the rotating rod 7 is driven by the second motor 9 to rotate 180 degrees to reset, thus completing one planting of the seed potato. The holes made by the fixing needle 8 and the barbs 81 on the seed potato will not affect the planting of the potato. The needle assembly has a simple structure, low failure rate, and is easy to clean and replace, reducing the maintenance cost of this planting machine. The needle 8 can accurately penetrate the seed potato, avoiding slippage or empty gripping, improving the stability and accuracy of planting, and effectively grabbing seed potatoes of different sizes, thus enhancing the versatility of this planter. The barbs 81 can increase the friction and gripping force between the fixing needle 8 and the seed potato, ensuring that the seed potato will not easily slip or fall off during movement, rotation or transfer. This planter can plant while moving. When the planter body 1 moves, the soil filling plate 4 can cut out the soil on the ground and push it onto the pit, thereby completing the automatic soil filling operation.
