[0034] In this invention, pushing the bottom block 2108 causes the movable rod 2106 to move on the assembly block 2101, the telescopic spring 2109 to retract, and the movable rod 2106 drives the top block 2107 to move upward. Under the action of the adjusting rod 2111, the two sliding blocks 2104 move inward on the connecting rod 2103 respectively. The sliding blocks 2104 drive the operating rod 2115 on the crossbar 2114 to move, and the operating rod 2115 drives the bulldozer plate 2117 on the fixed rod 2116 to push the arched soil.

[0035] Reference Figures 1-4 A support block 2002 is fixedly mounted on the top of the vertical block 2000. A cylinder 2003 is fixedly mounted on the support block 2002. A piston rod 2004 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the cylinder 2003. The piston rod 2004 movably passes through the support block 2002, and a bearing block 2005 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the piston rod 2004. A guide block 2006 is fixedly mounted on the lower part of the surface of the piston rod 2004. The guide block 2006 is close to the bearing block 2005. Guide block 2006 is movably assembled with guide port 2001, and guide block 2006 is located below push block 2112. Guide rod 2007, which moves on movable hole 2113, is fixedly assembled on guide block 2006. Two sets of fixing blocks 2008 are fixedly assembled on bearing block 2005, with two fixing blocks 2008 in each set. The two sets of fixing blocks 2008 are located on one side of piston rod 2004, and the two fixing blocks 2008 in each set are fixedly assembled. A traction rod 2009 is provided. An operating motor 2010 is fixedly mounted on a fixed block 2008. A double-threaded screw 2011 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the operating motor 2010. The double-threaded screw 2011 movably passes through two sets of fixed blocks 2008. The double-threaded screw 2011 has two external threads, and the two external threads on the double-threaded screw 2011 are in opposite directions. The two external threads on the double-threaded screw 2011 are located between the two fixed blocks 2008 in each set. The external threads on the double-threaded screw 2011 are threaded onto a traction block 2012 that moves on the traction rod 2009. A vertical rod 2013 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of each traction block 2012. The vertical rod 2013 is located on one side of the bearing block 2005. An extension rod 2014 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of each vertical rod 2013. A semi-conical cylinder 2015 is fixedly mounted on one end of each extension rod 2014. The semi-conical cylinder 2015 is movably assembled with the movable port 12.

[0036] In this invention, potatoes are placed in semi-conical cylinders 2015. The cylinder 2003 is activated, causing the piston rod 2004 to move the bearing block 2005 downwards. The guide rod 2007 moves downwards in the movable hole 2113, and the guide block 2006 moves downwards in the guide opening 2001. The two semi-conical cylinders 2015 can then be inserted into the planting soil. The operating motor 2010 is activated, causing the two external threads on the double-threaded screw 2011 to rotate on the traction block 2012. The traction block 2012 moves on the traction rod 2009, which in turn moves the extension rod 2014 on the vertical rod 2013, causing the two semi-conical cylinders 2015 to move away from each other. The semi-conical cylinders 2015 arch the soil outwards, causing the potatoes clamped between the two semi-conical cylinders 2015 to fall into the pit in the soil.

[0037] Working principle: The traction trolley 10 is moved on the planting ground, and potatoes are placed in the semi-conical cylinders 2015. The cylinder 2003 is activated, causing the piston rod 2004 to move the bearing block 2005 downward. The guide rod 2007 moves downward in the movable hole 2113, and the guide block 2006 moves downward in the guide opening 2001. The two semi-conical cylinders 2015 can be inserted into the planting soil. The operating motor 2010 is activated, causing the two external threads on the double-threaded screw 2011 to... The traction blocks 2012 rotate, moving on the traction rod 2009. The traction blocks 2012 then move the extension rod 2014 on the vertical rod 2013, causing the two semi-conical cylinders 2015 to move away from each other. The semi-conical cylinders 2015 arch the soil outwards, causing the potatoes caught between them to fall into the pit in the soil. The traction trolley 10 continues to move, positioning the two bulldozer blades 2117 on the arched soil. On both sides, the starting cylinder 2003 causes the piston rod 2004 to move the two semi-conical cylinders 2015 upwards. The extension rod 2014 drives the guide block 2006 to move upwards on the guide port 2001. The guide rod 2007 on the guide block 2006 moves on the movable hole 2113 until the guide block 2006 pushes the push block 2112 upwards, and the bottom block 2108 moves upwards, causing the movable rod 2106 to move on the assembly block 2101. The telescopic spring 21... 09 retracts, and the movable rod 2106 drives the top block 2107 to move upward. Under the action of the adjusting rod 2111, the two sliding blocks 2104 move inward on the connecting rod 2103 respectively. The sliding blocks 2104 drive the operating rod 2115 on the crossbar 2114 to move. The operating rod 2115 drives the bulldozer plate 2117 on the fixed rod 2116 to push the arched soil, which facilitates the backfilling operation of potatoes in the pit, reduces manual operation, and improves planting efficiency.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
