[0034] Please see Figure 1-5 A plant seedling transplanting device, comprising:

[0035] Transplanting tube 2, used for transporting seedlings, includes a cylindrical tube 21 and a frustum tube 23 fixed to the lower end of the cylindrical tube 21;

[0036] The regulator 3 is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the transplanting tube 2, including the tube sleeve 31 and two pedals 32 fixed to the tube sleeve 31 and symmetrically arranged. Two symmetrical shaft blocks 34 are also installed on the outer side of the tube sleeve 31.

[0037] Two sets of symmetrically arranged soil proppers 4 are used to pierce and prop open the soil. Each set includes a soil-piercing tip 41 and a sliding member 42. Each sliding member 42 has a shaft block 45 installed on its upper end.

[0038] Two connecting rods 5 are used to connect and drive the adjuster 3 and the soil support 4, and their two ends are respectively hinged to the first shaft block 34 and the second shaft block 45.

[0039] The base plate 1 has two sets of slide rails 6 fixed at the upper end, and a through hole 11 is opened in the middle. The soil-piercing tip 41 penetrates the through hole 11, and the sliding member 42 is slidably engaged on the slide rail 6.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the two soil-piercing tips 41 are joined together, they together form a cavity 43 for accommodating seedlings, and the size of the through hole 11 is larger than the outer diameter when the two soil-piercing tips 41 are joined together.

[0041] It should be noted that the chamber 43 allows the seedlings to be stably placed in a specific space during transplanting, rather than being spread out first and then placed, thus improving the error tolerance and making it more convenient and faster to use. The through hole 11 is larger than the outer diameter when the two soil-piercing tips 41 are attached, in order to ensure that the soil-piercing tips 41 can smoothly penetrate the through hole 11 to perform soil piercing and spreading actions, without being obstructed by the through hole 11 being too small, thus ensuring that the entire device can smoothly complete the transplanting operation.

[0042] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the frustum tube 23 is an inverted trapezoidal structure, and its bottom is inserted into the upper end of the chamber 43. The chamber 43, the cylindrical tube 21, and the frustum tube 23 are all connected.

[0043] It should be noted that this interconnected design forms a complete seedling transport channel, allowing seedlings placed from the top of the transplanting tube 2 to smoothly reach their designated locations in the soil, ensuring the continuity and stability of seedling transport.

[0044] In this embodiment, a chamfered bevel 46 is provided above the chamber 43 to cooperate with the outer side of the frustum tube 23.

[0045] It should be noted that this design allows the frustum tube 23 to be inserted into the chamber 43 more smoothly, improving work efficiency and helping to ensure the stability between the frustum tube 23 and the chamber 43, preventing soil or seedlings from leaking out of the gaps during transplanting.

[0046] In this embodiment, a groove 22 along the axial direction is provided on the outer side of the transplanting tube 2, and a slider 33 that cooperates with the groove 22 is provided on the inner wall of the tube sleeve 31.

[0047] It should be noted that this sliding fit structure allows the regulator 3 to slide stably up and down along the outer surface of the transplant tube 2 without deviation or rotation, improving the durability of the connecting rod 5 and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the regulator 3 during operation. At the same time, the cooperation between the slide groove 22 and the slider 33 also limits the sliding stroke of the regulator 3, preventing excessive sliding that could affect the normal use of the entire device.

[0048] In this embodiment, all pedals 32 are perpendicular to the axis of the sleeve 31. This design allows the operator to press down the pedals 32 with less effort and to better transfer force to the regulator 3. Anti-slip grooves 35 are provided on the upper surface of the pedals 32, increasing the friction between the operator's foot and the pedals 32, preventing slippage during pressing and improving operational safety. Protrusions 12 are provided on the bottom of the base plate 1. These protrusions 12 provide anti-slip and stability when the device is placed on the ground, preventing movement due to external forces during transplantation and ensuring accurate transplantation positioning.

[0049] It should be noted that the row spacing for transplanting must be greater than the width of the base plate 1 to prevent the base plate 1 from accidentally pressing on the transplanted seedlings when placed on the ground.

[0050] In this embodiment, the two opposite sides of the slider 42 are provided with slide grooves 44 that engage and slide with the slide rail 6.

[0051] It should be noted that this snap-fit ​​sliding structure allows the sliding component 42 to slide stably on the slide rail 6 without falling off or getting stuck. The cooperation between the second groove 44 and the slide rail 6 also ensures the straightness of the sliding component 42, so that the soil-piercing tip 41 of the soil-supporting device 4 can accurately pierce and open the soil along the predetermined direction, improving the accuracy and efficiency of transplanting.

[0052] In this embodiment, a handle 7 is rotatably provided at the upper end of the transplanting tube 2, and a funnel 8 located inside the handle 7 is installed at the top.

[0053] It should be noted that the handle 7 is designed to make it easy for operators to carry and move the entire transplanting device, and the position of the device can be flexibly adjusted. At the same time, a sponge pad is also provided on the lifting part to further improve the feel. The funnel 8 greatly facilitates the process of putting seedlings into the transplanting tube 2. Operators can put the seedlings directly into the funnel 8, and the seedlings will slide into the transplanting tube 2 along the inner wall of the funnel 8, avoiding the seedlings from spilling or being damaged during the process, thus improving the convenience and safety of the operation.

[0054] In summary, this plant seedling transplanting device, through the combination of a sliding adjuster 3 and a soil support 4, utilizes the pedal 32 to press down on the adjuster 3, which drives the connecting rod 5, thereby causing the soil-piercing tip 41 of the soil support 4 to slide and open the soil on the slide rail 6. Compared with manual digging, this greatly improves transplanting efficiency, reduces manual operation time and labor costs, and the precise soil opening method of the soil support 4 reduces disturbance to the soil structure around the seedling roots, which is conducive to improving the seedling survival rate.

[0055] This plant seedling transplanting device, through the seedling-accommodating chamber 43 formed by the transplanting tube 2 and the soil support 4, and the funnel 8 at the upper end of the transplanting tube 2, can easily place the seedlings and accurately guide them to the appropriate position. With the insertion and connection structure between the truncated cone tube 23 and the chamber 43, it ensures that the seedlings are stably transported into the soil, accurately controls the transplanting depth and angle, solves the problem of difficult control of manual transplanting parameters, and makes the seedlings grow more uniformly.

[0056] Working principle: The operator first holds the handle 7 and moves the device to the transplanting point, places the base plate 1 on the ground, and the bottom protrusion 12 of the base plate 1 is anti-slip and stable. At the same time, the soil-piercing tip 41 is inserted into the ground (since the transplanting needs to be covered with soil first, the soil-piercing tip 41 can easily pierce the soil). Then, the seedling is put into the funnel 8 at the top of the transplanting tube 2. The seedling slides along the inner wall of the funnel 8 into the cylindrical tube 21 and the frustum tube 23, and finally falls into the cavity 43 formed by the two soil-piercing tips 41. The connecting channel formed by the cavity 43 and the tube allows the seedling to be stably positioned.

[0057] Subsequently, the operator steps on pedal 32, and the force is transmitted through pedal 32, which is fixed to the tube sleeve 31, causing the tube sleeve 31 to slide down along the slide groove 22 of the transplanting tube 2. The outer shaft block 34 of the tube sleeve 31 drives the sliding part 42 of the soil support 4 to slide on the slide rail 6 through the connecting rod 5. The soil-piercing tip 41 of the soil support 4 pierces downward from the through hole 11 of the bottom plate 1 and opens up the soil. The chamber 43 provides a stable space for the seedling to be contained, preventing it from being squeezed by the soil. The bottom of the truncated cone tube 23 with its inverted trapezoidal structure is inserted into the upper end of the chamber 43. As the regulator 3 is pressed down, it goes deeper into the soil, guiding the seedling into the soil. The chamfered bevel 46 on the upper surface of the chamber 43 makes the fit between the truncated cone tube 23 and the chamber 43 smoother and reduces friction.

[0058] After the soil support device 4 expands the soil to a suitable level and the truncated cone tube 23 reaches the appropriate depth, stop pressing down on the pedal 32. Then slowly lift the foot, and the adjuster 3 slides upward under the action of gravity or upward force, driving the soil support device 4 to retract. Pull out the device to complete the transplanting. Repeating the operation can efficiently and accurately transplant a large number of seedlings.

[0059] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
