Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of planting tray technology, specifically a planting tray driving mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Angelica sinensis, a medicinal herb grown in high-altitude areas, has strict requirements for environmental conditions such as temperature, moisture, light, and soil. To improve yield and quality, scientific planting techniques are necessary during its cultivation. Plug seedling transplanting is an effective method that can control the growth environment, reduce pests and diseases, and increase survival rate and yield.

[0003] Currently, in existing technologies, the seedling tray is driven to move to the planting point. A stepper motor then rotates the tray, moving the seedling cups to the planting area. A planting mechanism then opens the bottom of the seedling cup, releasing the angelica seedling and allowing it to fall into the prepared planting hole, completing the planting process. However, this process has a significant problem: due to the large number of holes in the seedling tray, the stepper motor needs to drive the tray to a specific angle each time, then stop and wait for the planting mechanism to complete the planting of each individual seedling cup. This process requires frequent starting and stopping of the stepper motor, which not only affects planting efficiency but also threatens the lifespan of the stepper motor. Therefore, a seedling tray driving mechanism is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a duct drive mechanism that can solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a seedling tray driving mechanism, comprising a frame, a seedling tray body, and seedling cups. A moving mechanism is mounted on the frame, and a rotating mechanism is mounted below the seedling tray body. The rotating mechanism includes:

[0006] A movable base is slidably connected to the upper side of the frame, and a guide groove is provided on the lower side of the movable base;

[0007] A rotating column is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the movable seat, and the top of the rotating column is fixedly connected to the body of the acupuncture plate.

[0008] Motor 1 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the movable seat. A horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of Motor 1, and an arc-shaped limiting strip is fixedly connected to the upper side of the horizontal plate.

[0009] and L-rod, which is fixedly connected to the upper side of the cross plate.

[0010] Preferably, the guide groove matches the frame, and the frame slides with the guide groove.

[0011] Preferably, a small cylinder is fixedly connected to the lower side of the acupuncture plate body, and multiple sets of the small cylinders are arranged in a circular array around the central axis of the acupuncture plate body.

[0012] Preferably, the acupuncture plate body is provided with multiple sets of acupuncture holes, and the multiple sets of acupuncture holes are arranged in a circular array around the central axis of the acupuncture plate body. The number of acupuncture holes on the trajectory of a single set of circular arrays is the same as the number of small cylinders. The output shaft of motor one rotates, driving the horizontal plate to rotate, which in turn drives the arc-shaped limiting strip and L-rod to rotate. When the arc-shaped limiting strip moves away from the small cylinders, the L-rod drives the small cylinders to move, thereby enabling the acupuncture plate body to rotate. After the L-rod separates from the small cylinders, the acupuncture plate stops rotating, and at the same time, the arc-shaped limiting strip and the small cylinders begin to fit together, realizing the limiting and fixing of the small cylinders and ensuring the stability of the acupuncture plate.

[0013] Preferably, the output shaft of the motor rotates, causing the horizontal plate to rotate, and the surface of the arc-shaped limiting strip slides on the surface of the small cylinder.

[0014] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes a rack and pinion, which is fixed to the moving seat and slidably connected to the upper side of the frame. The rack and pinion is engaged with a transmission gear, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor, which is fixedly connected to the upper side of the mounting plate. The mounting plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame. The output shaft of the second motor drives the transmission gear to rotate, thereby causing the rack and pinion to move the moving seat and adjust the position of the acupuncture plate body.

[0015] This utility model provides a cavitation disc driving mechanism. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] (1) The acupuncture tray drive mechanism uses a rotating mechanism. When the output shaft of motor one rotates, it drives the horizontal plate to rotate, which in turn drives the arc-shaped limiting strip and L-rod to rotate. When the arc-shaped limiting strip moves away from the small cylinder, the L-rod drives the small cylinder to move, which in turn enables the acupuncture tray body to rotate. After the L-rod separates from the small cylinder, the acupuncture tray stops rotating. At the same time, the arc-shaped limiting strip and the small cylinder begin to fit together, which realizes the limiting and fixing of the small cylinder, ensuring the stability of the acupuncture tray and realizing the stable intermittent rotation of the acupuncture tray. It does not require frequent starting and closing of the stepper motor, thus improving the planting efficiency of Angelica sinensis.

[0017] (2) The seedling tray drive mechanism uses a moving mechanism, which is driven by the output shaft of motor 2, which in turn drives the transmission gear to rotate, causing the rack to move the moving seat, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the seedling tray body, which facilitates the rapid planting of Angelica sinensis and further improves the planting efficiency of Angelica sinensis.

[0027] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0028] 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.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-6This utility model proposes a seedling tray driving mechanism, including a frame 1, a seedling tray body 2, and seedling cups 3. The seedling cups 3 on the seedling tray body 2 move to the planting area, and then the bottom of the seedling cups 3 is opened by the planting mechanism to release the angelica seedlings, which fall into the prepared planting pits to complete the entire planting process. Small cylinders 21 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the seedling tray body 2. Multiple sets of small cylinders 21 are arranged in a circular array around the central axis of the seedling tray body 2. Multiple sets of holes are arranged on the seedling tray body 2, and the number of holes on the trajectory of a single circular array is the same as the number of small cylinders 21. A moving mechanism 4 is provided on the frame 1, and a rotating mechanism 5 is provided below the seedling tray body 2.

[0030] In this embodiment of the utility model, in order to improve the planting efficiency of Angelica sinensis, the rotating mechanism 5 specifically includes a movable seat 51, a rotating column 53, and a motor 54. The movable seat 51 is slidably connected to the upper side of the frame 1. A guide groove 52 is provided on the lower side of the movable seat 51. The guide groove 52 matches the frame 1, and the frame 1 slides with the guide groove 52. The rotating column 53 is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the movable seat 51. The top of the rotating column 53 is fixedly connected to the seedling tray body 2. The motor 54 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the movable seat 51. A horizontal plate 55 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the motor 54. An arc-shaped limiting strip 56 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the horizontal plate 55. An L-shaped rod 57 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the horizontal plate 55. The motor 54... The output shaft of the motor rotates, causing the horizontal plate 55 to rotate. The surface of the arc-shaped limiting strip 56 slides on the surface of the small cylinder 21. The output shaft of the motor 54 rotates, causing the horizontal plate 55 to rotate, which in turn causes the arc-shaped limiting strip 56 and the L-rod 57 to rotate. When the arc-shaped limiting strip 56 moves away from the small cylinder 21, the L-rod 57 drives the small cylinder 21 to move, thus enabling the pedicel body 2 to rotate. After the L-rod 57 disengages from the small cylinder 21, the pedicel body 2 stops rotating. At the same time, the arc-shaped limiting strip 56 and the small cylinder 21 begin to fit together, achieving the limiting and fixing of the small cylinder 21, ensuring the stability of the pedicel body 2, and realizing the stable intermittent rotation of the pedicel body 2. This eliminates the need for frequent starting and stopping of the stepper motor, improving the planting efficiency of Angelica sinensis.

[0031] Furthermore, to facilitate the movement of the seedling tray body 2 to the planting area, the moving mechanism 4 includes a rack 41 fixed to the moving seat 51. The rack 41 is slidably connected to the upper side of the frame 1, and a transmission gear 42 meshes with it. The transmission gear 42 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 43, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 44. The second motor 44 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the mounting plate 45, which is also fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame 1. By starting the second motor 44, its output shaft drives the transmission gear 42 to rotate, causing the rack 41 to move the moving seat 51. This allows for position adjustment of the seedling tray body 2, facilitating rapid planting of Angelica sinensis and further improving planting efficiency.

[0032] Both motor 54 and motor 44 are driven by an external power supply, which can be installed on the frame 1.

[0033] It should be noted that the above electrical components are all existing technology products. They are selected, installed and debugged by those skilled in the art according to the needs of use to ensure that all electrical appliances can work normally. The components are all general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be known by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. The applicant does not impose any specific restrictions here.

[0034] In use, start motor 2 44. The output shaft of motor 2 44 drives the transmission gear 42 to rotate, causing the rack 41 to move the moving seat 51, moving the seedling tray body 2 to the planting area. Then start motor 1 54. The output shaft of motor 1 54 rotates, driving the horizontal plate 55 to rotate, which in turn drives the arc-shaped limiting strip 56 and L-rod 57 to rotate. When the arc-shaped limiting strip 56 moves away from the small cylinder 21, the L-rod 57 drives the small cylinder 21 to move, thus enabling the seedling tray body 2 to rotate. After the L-rod 57 disengages from the small cylinder 21, the seedling tray body 2 stops rotating. At the same time, the arc-shaped limiting strip 56 and the small cylinder 21 begin to fit together, achieving the limiting and fixing of the small cylinder 21, ensuring the stability of the seedling tray body 2. After the seedling tray body 2 stops rotating, the bottom of the seedling cup 3 opens, releasing the angelica seedling, which falls into the prepared planting hole, completing the entire planting process.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
