Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garlic planting technology, specifically to a garlic planting device. Background Technology

[0002] A garlic planter generally consists of a seed box, conveyor, furrow leveler, furrow opener, conical wheel, drive chain, gears, grounding wheel, support frame, and traction frame. The support frame is located behind the traction frame, with the seed box on top and the grounding wheel below, with a gear coaxially mounted on the grounding wheel. The conveyor is located inside the seed box, with the furrow opener below. A conical wheel is located on one side of the seed box, its axle passing through the box body and connected to the conveyor, and further connected to the gears via the drive chain. The furrow leveler is located directly behind the furrow opener, used to cover the planted garlic seeds.

[0003] Although existing garlic planters appear to be highly efficient, they have a common problem: they cannot guarantee that the garlic bulbs will face upwards. Most of the planted garlic seeds lie flat, with very few bulbs facing upwards. This requires manual intervention to support the seedlings or guide them to grow upwards, which increases the workload later on and actually reduces the efficiency of planting garlic. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that existing garlic planters cannot guarantee the garlic bulbs will face upwards. Most of the planted garlic seeds are lying flat, requiring manual intervention to support or guide them upwards, which increases the workload and reduces planting efficiency.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is a garlic planting device, including a planting equipment body, a seed box, a seed conveying mechanism on one side of the seed box, a seed transport mechanism on the other side of the seed conveying mechanism, a moving mechanism on the other side of the seed transport mechanism, a seed transport mechanism including a plurality of seed transport tubes, a rhomboid funnel fixed at the top of the seed transport tube, a stop bar fixed at the bottom inside the rhomboid funnel, symmetrical openings on the side of the top of the seed transport tube, a connecting plate fixed on the side of the seed transport tube, a support plate fixed on the upper side of the connecting plate, a servo motor fixed on both sides of the opening on the upper side of the support plate, an arc-shaped top rod fixed at the output end of the servo motor in the opening, and a pair of infrared sensors fixed at the top of the rhomboid funnel.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a drop opening is provided on one side of the rhomboid funnel near the seed conveying mechanism to facilitate the conveying of garlic seeds.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: one end of the arc-shaped top rod is located inside the rhomboid funnel, so as to lift one end of the garlic seed.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a data control device is fixed on the upper side of the connecting plate to facilitate the processing of data detected by the infrared sensor and the sending of commands to the servo motor. The data control device is electrically connected to the infrared sensor, the servo motor, and the external power supply.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: garlic seeds are placed above the baffle rod inside the rhomboid funnel, and the infrared sensor transmitter is located at both ends of the garlic seeds so as to detect the orientation of the garlic seeds through the infrared sensor.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This application adds a rhomboid funnel, a pair of infrared sensors, a pair of arc-shaped top rods, and a stop bar structure. The falling garlic seed will be blocked above the stop bar. Since the two ends of the garlic seed have different structures, one end is pointed and the other end is flat, after the infrared sensor detects the pointed end, it will control the servo motor located under the infrared sensor through the data control device to drive the arc-shaped top rod, which will lift the pointed end of the garlic seed. Thus, the garlic seed will fall into the seed delivery tube from the other side of the stop bar, ensuring that the garlic seed head is facing upwards. Attached Figure Description

[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] This utility model provides a technical solution to address the existing problems mentioned in the background art.

[0020] Combined with appendix Figure 1 It can be seen that the sowing equipment includes a seed box, a seed transport mechanism on one side of the seed box, a seed conveying mechanism on the other side of the seed transport mechanism, a moving mechanism on the other side of the seed conveying mechanism, and a drop opening on one side of the rhomboid funnel 2 near the seed transport mechanism to facilitate the transport of garlic seeds.

[0021] Combined with appendix Figure 2-4 It can be seen that the seed delivery mechanism includes several seed delivery tubes 1. A rhomboid funnel 2 is fixed to the top of the seed delivery tube 1 to accommodate the shape of the garlic seed 10 and restrict its orientation. A stop bar 3 is fixed to the bottom of the inner side of the rhomboid funnel 2 to block the garlic seed 10 so that the infrared sensor 8 can identify it. Openings 1.1 are symmetrically opened on the side of the top of the seed delivery tube 1. A connecting plate 4 is fixed to the side of the seed delivery tube 1. A data control device 9 is fixed to the upper side of the connecting plate 4 to process the data detected by the infrared sensor 8 and send commands to the servo motor 6. The data control device 9 and the infrared sensor 8 The servo motor 6 is electrically connected to the external power supply. A support plate 5 is fixed on the upper side of the connecting plate 4. A servo motor 6 is fixed on both sides of the opening 1.1 on the upper side of the support plate 5. An arc-shaped top rod 7 is fixed on the output end of the servo motor 6 in the opening 1.1. One end of the arc-shaped top rod 7 is located inside the rhomboid funnel 2 to lift one end of the garlic seed 10. A pair of infrared sensors 8 are fixed on the top of the rhomboid funnel 2. The garlic seed 10 is blocked above the baffle 3 inside the rhomboid funnel 2. The emitting end of the infrared sensor 8 is located at both ends of the garlic seed 10 to detect the orientation of the garlic seed 10 through the infrared sensor 8.

[0022] The working principle of this application is as follows: When planting garlic, garlic seeds 10 are first added to the seed box. Then, the seed transport mechanism delivers individual garlic seeds 10 into the rhomboid funnel 2. The structure of the rhomboid funnel 2 restricts the orientation of the garlic seeds 10, and the bottom area of ​​the rhomboid funnel 2 is slightly smaller than the size of the garlic seeds 10. The garlic seeds 10 will block the top of the baffle 3. The infrared sensor 8 detects the orientation of the garlic head of the garlic seeds 10. Then, the data control device 9 sends a signal to the corresponding servo motor 6, which drives the arc-shaped top rod 7 to lift one end of the garlic seeds 10. The lifted end is the garlic head end of the garlic seeds 10, which then falls into the seed delivery tube 1 for planting. This mechanism can effectively increase the probability of the garlic head facing upwards when planting garlic seeds 10.

[0023] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
