Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of potato planting technology, and in particular to a film covering and soil covering device for potato planting. Background Technology
[0002] Potatoes are an important food and cash crop, widely cultivated around the world. Potato cultivation typically requires loose, fertile, and well-drained soil, and follows crop rotation practices to reduce pests and diseases. The cultivation process includes steps such as seed selection, cutting, sprouting, planting, fertilization, irrigation, and pest and disease control.
[0003] Covering the potato with soil after laying a plastic film is a cultivation method. Using plastic film increases soil temperature, maintains soil moisture, suppresses weed growth, and improves soil physical properties. Covering the potato with soil further enhances these effects, particularly in regulating soil temperature and humidity, providing a more stable growing environment, and promoting potato tuber enlargement. Furthermore, covering the potato with soil prevents direct contact between the soil and the plant, reducing the risk of soil-borne diseases and contributing to improved potato quality and yield.
[0004] Currently, in potato cultivation, the mulching of potatoes under plastic film is mostly done manually. Manual mulching is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also difficult to control the thickness of the mulch evenly, which can lead to inconsistent plant growth, affecting overall yield and quality. It may also result in some plots having excessively thick soil, affecting the heat preservation and moisture retention effect of the mulch, or making it difficult for seedlings to emerge, increasing management difficulty. This makes it difficult to meet the needs of large planting areas and seriously restricts the improvement of planting efficiency and economic benefits. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a film covering and soil covering device for potato planting.
[0006] A soil covering device for potato planting includes a soil covering machine, a fixed frame, a connecting plate, a first motor, a plow, a second motor, a soil covering rotary plate, a slider, a hinge plate, a scraper, and a limiting plate. The fixed frame is connected to the outer wall of the soil covering machine. The connecting plate is rotatably connected inside the fixed frame. The first motor is installed on the connecting plate, and the output shaft of the first motor is connected to the connecting plate through a transmission assembly. The plow is connected to the bottom of the connecting plate. Two second motors are installed at the bottom of the connecting plate, and the output shafts of the second motors are each connected to a soil covering rotary plate. Sliders are slidably connected to both the front and rear sides of the fixed frame. The sides of the sliders that are far apart from each other are hinged to a hinge plate. The sides of the hinge plate that are far away from the sliders are each equipped with a scraper. The bottom of the slider is connected to a limiting plate, and the limiting plate is in contact with the bottom of the hinge plate.
[0007] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the second motor is inclined, with the ends of the output shafts of the two second motors away from the connecting plate being far apart from each other.
[0008] In addition, it is particularly preferred that the plowshare also includes a support frame, with the support frame connected to both the front and rear sides of the plowshare, and the support frame being open on the side away from the plowshare and on both the left and right sides.
[0009] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the assembly also includes a self-locking telescopic rod, with the side of the hinge plate away from the slider connected to the self-locking telescopic rod, and the side of the self-locking telescopic rod away from the hinge plate being fixedly connected to the scraper.
[0010] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the scraper also includes a baffle, with the baffle connected to the top of the scraper.
[0011] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the slider also includes a screw, with each slider being threadedly connected to a screw, and the screw being rotatably connected to the fixed frame.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: The present invention is equipped with a plow, a second motor, a soil covering rotary plate and a scraper. The second motor drives the soil covering rotary plate to rotate. Under the rotation of the soil covering rotary plate, the soil plowed out by the plow is thrown onto the mulch film, thereby realizing the soil covering operation on the mulch film of the soil covering device. Then, the scraper scrapes the soil on the mulch film to level it. No manual soil covering is required, which improves the soil covering efficiency of the soil covering device.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.
[0019] A potato planting film covering and soil covering device, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a soil covering machine 1, a fixed frame 2, a connecting plate 3, a first motor 4, a plow head 5, a second motor 6, a soil covering rotary plate 7, a slider 9, a hinge plate 10, a scraper 12, a limiting plate 15, a support frame 8, a self-locking telescopic rod 11, a baffle 13, and a screw 14. The fixed frame 2 is connected to the outer wall of the soil covering machine 1. The connecting plate 3 is rotatably connected inside the fixed frame 2. The first motor 4 is mounted on the connecting plate 3. The output shaft of the first motor 4 is connected to the connecting plate 3 via a transmission assembly. The plow head 5 is connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 3. Two second motors 6 are mounted on the bottom of the connecting plate 3. Each of the output shafts of the second motors 6 is connected to a soil covering rotary plate 7. The second motors 6 are inclined. The output shaft is far from the end of the connecting plate 3. The fixed frame 2 is slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the fixed frame 2. The side of the slider 9 that is far from each other is hinged to the hinge plate 10. The side of the hinge plate 10 that is far from the slider 9 is connected to the self-locking telescopic rod 11. The side of the self-locking telescopic rod 11 that is far from the hinge plate 10 is fixedly connected to the scraper 12. The bottom of the slider 9 is connected to the limit plate 15, and the limit plate 15 is in contact with the bottom of the hinge plate 10. The plow head 5 is connected to the front and rear sides of the supporting frame 8. The side of the supporting frame 8 that is far from the plow head 5 and the left and right sides are open. The top of the scraper 12 is connected to the baffle 13. The slider 9 is threadedly connected to the screw 14, and the screw 14 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 2.
[0020] When covering the mulch film with soil, the covering machine 1 is moved between the ridges. When the ridge is higher than the scraper 12, the screw 14 is rotated to make the slider 9 slide upward, causing the scraper 12 to move upward. When the ridge is lower than the scraper 12, the screw 14 is reversed to make the slider 9 slide downward, causing the scraper 12 to move downward. This adjusts the height of the scraper 12 according to the height of the ridge and the thickness of the soil covering, ensuring that the soil thickness on the surface of the mulch film is consistent each time, avoiding over- or under-covering. When the ridge spacing is long, the scraper 12 is pulled to extend the self-locking telescopic rod 11, thereby increasing the distance between the scraper 12 and the hinge plate 10. This allows for adjustment of the scraper 12's position according to the ridge spacing, facilitating the use of this covering device. The covering machine 1 is then moved to move the covering device. As the covering machine 1 moves, the plow head 5 plows out the soil, and the second motor 6 drives the covering rotary plate 7 to rotate. Under the rotation of the covering rotary plate 7, the soil is... The covering plate 7 throws the soil plowed by the plow head 5 onto the mulch film, thus realizing the covering operation of this covering device. The support frame 8 can concentrate the soil and guide it to approach the covering plate 7. The first motor 4 drives the connecting plate 3 to rotate, causing the plow head 5 to rotate and continue to insert its tip into the soil, thereby increasing the plowing depth of the plow head 5 and plowing out more soil, providing a sufficient soil source for subsequent covering. It can be adjusted according to the covering needs and the depth between the ridges, and is suitable for different types of ridges. When the soil is thrown onto the mulch film, the scraper 12 scrapes the soil on the mulch film to flatten it. The baffle 13 can prevent soil from splashing onto the operator. The limiting plate 15 keeps the hinge plate 10 in a horizontal state. When this covering device is idle, the hinge plate 10 is rotated to move it closer to the covering machine 1, thereby rotating the scraper 12 closer to each other and reducing the space occupied by this covering device. When it is needed, the hinge plate 10 is reversed to move it away from the covering machine 1, thereby reversing the scraper 12 to reset.
[0021] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention as defined by the claims. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments in this disclosure is for explanation only and not for limiting the present invention, but rather the scope of protection is defined by the content of the claims.
