Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Trichosanthes kirilowii seed cultivation technology, and in particular to a weeding device for inter-row cultivation of Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds. Background Technology

[0002] During the large-scale cultivation of Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds, the growth of weeds between the rows competes with the Trichosanthes kirilowii plants for soil nutrients, water, and sunlight, seriously affecting the growth, development, and final yield of the plants.

[0003] Current mainstream weeding methods all have significant limitations: while manual weeding can achieve precise operation, it requires a large amount of manpower and is extremely inefficient for planting on a scale of hundreds of acres, with an average daily operating area of ​​less than 0.5 acres, which is insufficient to meet the needs of controlling the rapid growth of weeds. Traditional mechanical weeding equipment, such as disc weeders and hoe-tooth weeders, remove weeds by physically cutting or turning the soil, but in practical applications, they have revealed several technical pain points: when the soil becomes compacted due to rainfall or irrigation, weed roots easily stick to the soil clods, and even if the above-ground parts of the weeds are removed, the remaining roots can still regenerate rapidly under suitable conditions; in addition, during the growth of Trichosanthes kirilowii plants, weeds between plants are difficult for existing machinery to reach due to narrow spaces and plant shading, resulting in long-term blind spots in weeding. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a weeding device for planting Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds, which solves the technical problems of low efficiency in manual weeding, the sticking of grass roots and soil clods in mechanical weeding making it difficult to completely remove weeds, and the difficulty in reaching weeds between plants, resulting in blind spots in weeding.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a weeding device for planting Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds, including a frame, hoe teeth installed on the frame, a baffle plate installed on the frame, a rotating shaft rotatably connected inside the baffle plate, multiple sets of soil-crushing slurries arranged in an array on the rotating shaft, nail teeth arranged in an array at the bottom of the baffle plate, a weeding mechanism for inactivating the roots of weeds provided on the baffle plate, and a weeding mechanism for removing weeds between plants symmetrically arranged on both sides of the baffle plate.

[0006] A further improvement is that the hoe teeth have a crescent structure, and two sets of hoe teeth are installed alternately on the frame. The end of the soil-breaking slurry has an arc-shaped curved structure, and its bending direction is parallel to the axis of rotation.

[0007] A further improvement is that a drive motor is installed on the shield, and a pulley is connected to the output end of the drive motor and one end of the rotating shaft. A transmission belt is connected between the two pulleys.

[0008] A further improvement is that the disinfection mechanism includes a liquid storage tank installed on a shield, a water pump installed on the liquid storage tank, an infusion pipe installed at the water pump outlet, a dispensing box installed at the bottom of the infusion pipe, and an array of atomizing nozzles installed at the bottom of the dispensing box.

[0009] A further improvement is that an inlet pipe is installed on the top of the liquid storage tank, and an observation window made of transparent tempered glass is installed on the liquid storage tank.

[0010] A further improvement is that the plant spacing weeding mechanism includes a hinged seat installed on the shield plate, a connecting rod rotatably connected inside the hinged seat, an adjusting motor for driving the connecting rod to rotate installed on the hinged seat, a disc frame installed at the end of the connecting rod, a turntable rotatably connected inside the disc frame, soil-breaking blades installed in a circular array at the bottom of the turntable, a rotary motor for driving the turntable to rotate installed on the disc frame, and a scanning imager installed on the connecting rod.

[0011] By means of the above technical solution, this utility model provides a weeding device for planting Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds, which has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This utility model uses two sets of staggered hoe teeth to plow up all the weeds between rows. At the same time, the rotating shaft drives the soil-breaking paddle to rotate and break up the plowed soil clods, completely separating the weeds whose roots are connected to the soil clods. The soil-breaking paddle with an arc-shaped curved end can evenly break up the clods of soil, avoiding plowing too deep and disturbing the soil layers. With the help of the nail teeth, the weeds are scraped up and gathered from the soil and pulled out of the field, thus preventing the weeds from regrowing.

[0013] 2. This utility model uses a scanning imaging device to scan and distinguish Trichosanthes kirilowii plants. Then, the adjusting motor is started to drive the connecting rod to rotate in the hinge seat, which in turn drives the plate to rotate between adjacent Trichosanthes kirilowii plants. At this time, the turntable rotates under the drive of the rotating motor, which drives the soil-breaking blade at the bottom to rotate and cut the weeds between adjacent Trichosanthes kirilowii plants.

[0024] 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.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Given the current limitations of manual weeding, which is inefficient, and the difficulty of mechanical weeding where weed roots adhere to soil clods, hindering comprehensive weed removal and creating blind spots due to difficulty in reaching weeds between plants, this embodiment provides an inter-row weeding device for Trichosanthes kirilowii seed cultivation. This device can separate weeds with roots attached to soil clods, preventing weed regrowth, and remove weeds between plants, achieving comprehensive weed control. Please refer to... Figures 1-4 The inter-row weeding device for Trichosanthes kirilowii seed planting includes a frame 1, on which hoe teeth 2 are installed, and a shielding plate 3 is installed on the frame 1. A rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected inside the shielding plate 3. Multiple sets of soil-crushing slurries 5 are arrayed on the rotating shaft 4. Nail teeth 6 are arrayed at the bottom of the shielding plate 3. A weeding mechanism 7 for inactivating the roots of weeds is provided on the shielding plate 3. A weeding mechanism 8 for removing weeds between plants is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the shielding plate 3.

[0027] The hoe teeth 2 have a crescent-shaped structure, and two sets of hoe teeth 2 are installed alternately on the frame 1. The end of the soil-breaking slurry 5 has an arc-shaped curved structure, and its bending direction is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 4.

[0028] A drive motor 91 is installed on the shield plate 3. The output end of the drive motor 91 and one end of the rotating shaft 4 are connected to a pulley 92. A transmission belt 93 is connected between the two pulleys 92. The device is connected to the tractor through the frame 1. Then, it drives two sets of staggered hoe teeth 2 to plow up the weeds between the rows. At the same time, the drive motor 91 is started, and the rotating shaft 4 is driven to rotate through the transmission belt 93 on the pulley 92. This drives the soil crusher 5 to rotate and break up the plowed soil clods, completely separating the weeds whose roots are connected to the soil clods. The soil crusher 5, with its curved end, can evenly break up the clods of soil, avoiding excessive plowing and disturbing the soil layers. Together with the nail teeth 6, it scrapes and gathers the weeds from the soil and pulls them out of the field, thus preventing the weeds from regrowing.

[0029] Because there are gaps between the nail teeth 6, small weeds may still remain between the rows. If it is cloudy and there is no direct sunlight, these small weeds may still regrow. Therefore, the device is also equipped with a pest control mechanism 7. The pest control mechanism 7 includes a liquid storage tank 71 installed on the shield plate 3, a water pump 72 installed on the liquid storage tank 71, an infusion pipe 73 installed at the outlet of the water pump 72, a dispensing box 74 installed at the bottom of the infusion pipe 73, and an array of atomizing nozzles 75 installed at the bottom of the dispensing box 74. During weeding, the water pump 72 is started to pump the herbicide in the storage tank 71 into the infusion pipe 73 and into the dispensing box 74. It is then atomized and sprayed out through the atomizing nozzle 75 to chemically kill the weeds remaining between the rows. Since the roots of the weeds are exposed, only a small amount of toxic herbicide is needed to inactivate the weeds, reducing the possibility of chemical pollution. In addition, the atomizing nozzle 75 is kept as close to the ground as possible to prevent the herbicide from drifting onto the Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds and affecting their growth.

[0030] The storage tank 71 is equipped with an inlet pipe 76 on top and a transparent tempered glass observation window 77 on top. The remaining amount of herbicide in the storage tank 71 can be observed in real time through the observation window 77, so that it can be replenished in time through the inlet pipe 76.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] Because weeds grow between Trichosanthes kirilowii plants, the limited space and shading caused by the plants make them difficult for existing machinery to reach, resulting in persistent weeding blind spots. Therefore, based on Example 1, as follows... Figures 1-4 As shown, the device is also equipped with a plant spacing weeding mechanism 8. The plant spacing weeding mechanism 8 includes a hinge seat 81 installed on the shield plate 3. A connecting rod 82 is rotatably connected inside the hinge seat 81. An adjusting motor 83 that drives the connecting rod 82 to rotate is installed on the hinge seat 81. A disc frame 84 is installed at the end of the connecting rod 82. A turntable 85 is rotatably connected inside the disc frame 84. Soil-breaking blades 86 are installed in a circular array at the bottom of the turntable 85. A rotary motor 87 that drives the turntable 85 to rotate is installed on the disc frame 84. A scanning imager 88 is installed on the connecting rod 82.

[0033] During weeding, the scanning imager 88 scans and identifies the Trichosanthes kirilowii seed plants. Then, the adjusting motor 83 is activated to drive the connecting rod 82 to rotate within the hinge seat 81, which in turn drives the tray frame 84 to rotate between adjacent Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds. At this time, the turntable 85 rotates under the drive of the rotary motor 87, which drives the soil-breaking blade 86 at its bottom to rotate and cut the weeds between adjacent Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds. When a Trichosanthes kirilowii seed plant is scanned, the adjusting motor 83 drives the tray frame 84 to reset, thus avoiding cutting the Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds and achieving the removal of weeds between plants.
