Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural machinery technology, and more specifically, it relates to a feeding machine for a rice seedling raising assembly line. Background Technology
[0002] The rice seedling raising line feeder is one of the key pieces of equipment in a modern rice seedling raising line. It is mainly used to automatically and efficiently stack and feed seedling trays to meet the needs of subsequent seedling raising processes. It can work in conjunction with other equipment on the seedling raising line, such as seeders, covering machines, and watering devices, to achieve full automation of the seedling raising process.
[0003] After the rice seedling raising machine completes the seedling raising process, the seedling trays need to be manually stacked. Currently, the efficiency of manual stacking is extremely low, only about 30 trays can be completed per hour. This shows that the speed of manual stacking is far behind the speed of the assembly line, which not only slows down the efficiency of the entire seedling raising process but also increases the labor intensity of workers. Workers need to work continuously for long periods, performing strenuous bending and carrying operations, leading to physical and mental fatigue and reduced work efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a rice seedling raising assembly line feeding machine in order to achieve a more practical value. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a rice seedling raising assembly line feeding machine, which is achieved by the following specific technical means:
[0006] A rice seedling raising production line feeding machine includes a main body. A stacking assembly for stacking seedling trays is provided on one side of the main body. The stacking assembly includes two sets of mounting shells installed on the side wall of the main body. The two sets of mounting shells are symmetrically arranged, and multiple sets of seedling trays are stacked at intervals in their middle. Two sets of claws are provided at the bottom ends of both sides of the multiple sets of seedling trays. The four sets of claws are mounted with mounting shafts in pairs, and are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding mounting shell through the mounting shafts. Multiple sets of limiting shafts are installed at intervals from top to bottom on the inner wall of the mounting shell. The multiple sets of limiting shafts correspond one-to-one with the claws located on one side, and their outer walls are all abutted against the top side of the corresponding claws. A drive mechanism is provided on the bottom side of the two sets of mounting shells, and a lifting rod for lifting the stacked seedling trays at intervals is connected through the drive mechanism.
[0007] Preferably, it also includes support frames installed on both sides of the bottom of the main body, and the side walls of the two sets of mounting shells are fixedly connected to the side walls of the corresponding support frames.
[0008] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a vertically arranged mounting plate, a rack slidably mounted on the side wall of the mounting plate, the top end of the rack being fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lifting rod, sector gears meshing on both sides of the rack, driven gears coaxially connected to one side of each of the two sets of sector gears, a driving gear meshing on one side of each of the two sets of driven gears, a motor being driven to one side of the driving gear, and the motor being mounted on the other side of the mounting plate.
[0009] Preferably, each of the top sides of the multiple sets of claws has a groove that matches the edge of the seedling tray.
[0010] Preferably, a return spring is connected between the back side of the multiple sets of claws and the inner wall of the mounting housing, and a rubber pad is adhered to the bottom side of the multiple sets of claws.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom corners of both sets of support frames are connected to adjustable feet by threads. The bottom of the adjustable feet is equipped with anti-slip rubber pads to adjust the level of the main body and enhance the ground grip.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This utility model uses a palletizing assembly and a drive mechanism to achieve automated palletizing and lifting: the mounting shell, claws, limit shafts and other components in the palletizing assembly work together with the drive mechanism. Driven by a motor, the rack drives the lifting rod to lift the seedling tray. At the same time, the claws and limit shafts ensure the stability of the seedling tray during the palletizing and lifting process, thereby achieving automated operation, improving work efficiency and reducing labor costs.
[0014] 2. The internal gear transmission mechanism of this utility model achieves precise control. The rack, sector gear, driven gear, and driving gear in the drive mechanism mesh with each other. The rotation of the driving gear is precisely controlled by the motor, thereby realizing the reciprocating lifting and lowering of the rack. This ensures that the lifting rod can accurately lift the seedling tray to the required height, improving the accuracy and stability of stacking. The top of the multiple sets of claws has a groove on one side that matches the edge of the seedling tray, which can fit tightly against the seedling tray and prevent the seedling tray from sliding or tilting during stacking and lifting, ensuring the neatness and stability of stacking, and improving work efficiency and quality.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0022] Example:
[0023] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:
[0024] This utility model provides a rice seedling raising production line feeding machine, including a main body 1. A stacking assembly for stacking seedling trays 2 is provided on one side of the main body 1. The stacking assembly includes two sets of mounting shells 3 installed on the side wall of the main body 1. The two sets of mounting shells 3 are symmetrically arranged, and multiple sets of seedling trays 2 are stacked at intervals in the middle. Two sets of claws 6 are provided at the bottom ends of both sides of the multiple sets of seedling trays 2. The four sets of claws 6 are mounted on mounting shafts 4 in pairs, and are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding mounting shell 3 through the mounting shafts 4. Multiple sets of limiting shafts 5 are installed at intervals from top to bottom on the inner wall of the mounting shell 3. The multiple sets of limiting shafts 5 correspond one-to-one with the claws 6 located on one side, and their outer walls are all abutted against the top side of the corresponding claws 6. A driving mechanism is provided on the bottom side of the two sets of mounting shells 3, and a lifting rod 9 for lifting the stacked seedling trays 2 at intervals is connected through the driving mechanism.
[0025] It also includes support frames 8 installed on both sides of the bottom of the main body 1, and the side walls of the two sets of mounting shells 3 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the corresponding support frames 8.
[0026] The drive mechanism includes a vertically mounted mounting plate 10. A rack 11 is slidably mounted on the side wall of the mounting plate 10. The top end of the rack 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lifting rod 9. Sector gears 12 are meshed on both sides of the rack 11. Driven gears 13 are coaxially connected to one side of each of the two sets of sector gears 12. A drive gear 14 is meshed on one side of both sets of driven gears 13. A motor is driven to one side of the drive gear 14. The motor is mounted on the other side of the mounting plate 10. This design enables automatic stacking of seedling trays 2, improves work efficiency, reduces labor costs, and alleviates the labor intensity of workers.
[0027] Among them, the top side of each of the multiple sets of claws 6 is provided with a groove 7 that matches the edge of the seedling tray 2. This design allows the claws 6 to fit tightly with the seedling tray 2. During the stacking process, the claws 6 provide stable support for the seedling tray 2, effectively preventing the seedling tray 2 from sliding, tilting or collapsing when stacked, ensuring the neatness and stability of the stacking, which is beneficial to subsequent transportation and management, and improves the reliability and safety of the entire seedling raising process.
[0028] Among them, a return spring is connected between the back side of the multiple sets of claws 6 and the inner wall of the mounting shell 3, and a rubber pad is glued to the bottom side of the multiple sets of claws 6.
[0029] Among them, the two bottom corners of the two sets of support frames 8 are connected to adjustable feet by threads. The bottom of the adjustable feet is equipped with anti-slip rubber pads to adjust the level of the main body 1 and enhance the ground grip.
[0030] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The seedling tray 2 is transported by the main body 1, and during the transport process, it goes through various processes in sequence to complete the sowing, covering, and watering operations. After the seedling tray 2 has completed all operations, it is transported to the lifting rod 9, and the drive motor starts to rotate, driving the drive gear 14 to rotate. The rotation of the drive gear 14 drives the two sets of driven gears 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the two sets of sector gears 12 to rotate. The two sets of sector gears 12 drive the rack 11 to perform reciprocating lifting and lowering movements. The lifting and lowering movements of the rack 11 drive the lifting rod 9 to perform reciprocating lifting and lowering movements. During the process of the seedling tray 2 being lifted... Its side contacts the claws 6 on both sides, causing the claws 6 to rotate. When the seedling tray 2 is no longer in contact with the claws 6, the claws 6 automatically reset, the toothed rod 11 descends, and the seedling tray 2 also descends. After descending, the seedling tray 2 is placed on the groove 7 on the claw 6. When the next set of seedling trays 2 moves to the lifting rod 9, the above process is repeated. During the process of the next set of seedling trays 2 rising, the previous set of seedling trays 2 is lifted up, so that the previous set of seedling trays 2 is placed on the upper claw 6, and the next set of seedling trays 2 is placed on the groove 7 of the previous claw 6. This cycle is repeated to realize the automatic stacking of seedling trays 2.

Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
