Description

An adjustable vegetable seedling transplanter Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural planting equipment technology, specifically an adjustable vegetable seedling transplanter. Background Technology

[0002] Transplanting vegetable seedlings is an important part of agricultural production. The process usually involves digging holes, placing the seedlings, watering, and covering them with soil. It generally requires at least two workers to complete the task. This is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but the holes dug by hand are also of different sizes and depths, which seriously affects the intensive and uniform growth of the seedlings in the later stages and easily leads to seedlings growing at different heights and sizes.

Preferably, during the seedling planting process, the marking needle 19 marks the planting hole of the next seedling when the transplanting spoon 4 is inserted into the ground. This improves the accuracy of the spacing between adjacent seedlings during transplanting, avoiding the waste of land space caused by large spacing between planted vegetables. Small spacing affects the growth size of vegetables, leading to poor quality.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, a telescopic ruler 22 for measuring the distance between the sleeve 1 and the marking needle 19 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sleeve 1 and below the outer telescopic cylinder 12. Further, the telescopic ruler 22 includes an outer ruler 2201 horizontally fixed on the outer wall of the sleeve 1, and an inner ruler 2202 slidably installed inside the outer ruler 2201.

Graduations are provided on the tops of both the outer ruler 2201 and the inner ruler 2202. Regarding line 2203, it should be noted that: the scale value on the outer ruler 2201 is calculated from the inside out from the shaft core of the sleeve 1, and the scale value on the inner ruler 2202 is calculated from the outside in from the shaft core of the marking needle 19. The distance between the sleeve 1 and the marking needle 19 is equal to the sum of the scale values ​​on the outer ruler 2201 and the inner ruler 2202. Preferably, the outer ruler 2201 and the inner ruler 2202 are set in a cooperative manner to facilitate accurate measurement of the distance between the marking needle 19 and the sleeve 1 when the marking needle 19 is adjusted, which facilitates the positioning of the marking needle 19.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] In practical use, first adjust the distance between the sleeve 1 and the marking needle 19 according to the type of vegetables to be transplanted. When adjusting the distance between the sleeve 1 and the marking needle 19, press the limiting ball 1502 downward with your finger. When the limiting ball 1502 is pressed downward, the spring 1503 is compressed, causing it to disengage from the limiting hole 13. At this time, the inner telescopic rod 14 can slide inside the outer telescopic cylinder 12. During the sliding process of the inner telescopic rod 14 inside the outer telescopic cylinder 12, refer to the scale line 2203 on the outer ruler 2201 and the inner ruler 2202. When the inner telescopic rod 14 slides to the ideal position and stops, it completes the limiting between the inner telescopic rod 14 and the outer telescopic cylinder 12 by cooperating with one of the limiting holes 13 through the limiting ball 1502. Then, adjust the height of the marking needle 19 on the transition plate 16 according to the planting depth of the vegetables to be transplanted.

[0033] During transplanting, first, insert the transplanting spoon 4 into the ground by stepping on the foot pedal 11. At this time, the marking needle 19 is inserted into the ground to make a mark. Next, put the vegetable seedling into the top of the sleeve 1. After entering the sleeve 1, the vegetable seedling passes through the sleeve 1 and stays in the transplanting spoon 4. Then, by controlling the upward movement of the handle 901, the handle 901 moves upward to drive multiple transplanting spoons 4 to open. The moment the transplanting spoon 4 opens, the vegetable seedling slides out of the transplanting spoon 4 into the soil. Finally, lift the sleeve 1 upward to complete the planting of one vegetable seedling. By following the same operation steps, insert the transplanting spoon 4 into the previous mark to complete the planting of the next vegetable seedling.

[0034] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
