Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of seedling transportation technology, and in particular to a device for transporting seedlings of Chinese medicinal herbs. Background Technology

[0002] In the current development of the Chinese medicinal herb planting industry, the cultivation and transportation of Chinese medicinal herb seedlings is a crucial link. In the seedling cultivation workshop, seedlings are usually placed in special seedling frames for centralized management to ensure the stability and suitability of their growth environment.

[0003] However, during the seedling transportation process, the movement of seedlings within the factory mainly relies on manual handling. Workers need to move the seedling crates containing the seedlings from one location to another, such as from the cultivation area to the packaging or loading area. This method has several drawbacks. Specifically, manual handling is physically demanding. Since the seedling crates and seedlings often have a certain weight, prolonged and strenuous handling can easily lead to worker fatigue, thus affecting work efficiency. Furthermore, with the expansion of the scale of medicinal herb cultivation, the volume of seedlings being transported is constantly increasing, and manual handling can no longer meet the needs of large-scale production. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a device for transporting seedlings of Chinese medicinal materials, which solves the problem that in the related technology, the transportation of seedlings in the factory mainly relies on manual handling. Workers need to move the seedling frames containing seedlings from one location to another. Manual handling is physically demanding and inefficient.

[0005] Firstly, a device for transporting seedlings of traditional Chinese medicinal materials is provided, comprising:

[0006] A ground track with a sliding platform slidably mounted on it, and a driving component is mounted on the sliding platform to drive the sliding platform to move along the length of the ground track;

[0007] The platform is equipped with a feeding rack, and the feeding rack is equipped with a support plate. The support plate is used to place seedling frames containing Chinese medicinal seedlings. The support plate has two lifting through holes facing each other.

[0008] The platform is equipped with a lifting mechanism, and a conveying unit is provided at the bottom of the lifting through hole. The lifting mechanism is connected to two conveying units and is used to drive the conveying units to move along the height of the lifting through hole to lift the seedling frame on the support plate. The conveying unit is used to move the lifted seedling frame along the width of the feeding rack.

[0009] In some embodiments, the ground rail includes two steel rails arranged opposite each other, connected by a metal rod, and a slide rail is provided on the steel rail, with a plurality of sliders slidably disposed on the slide rail;

[0010] The platform is positioned above the tops of multiple sliders.

[0011] In some embodiments, the drive includes:

[0012] A fixed plate installed on one side of the platform;

[0013] A speed reducer mounted on a fixed plate;

[0014] The drive motor connected to the reducer;

[0015] A rack installed on one side of the rail;

[0016] The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the input shaft of the reducer, and the output shaft of the reducer is provided with a gear that meshes with a rack and pinion.

[0017] In some embodiments, there are two drive units, which are arranged opposite each other at both ends of the platform.

[0018] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism includes a mounting frame disposed above the table, the mounting frame being located within the unloading rack;

[0019] The mounting bracket has two electric push rods arranged opposite each other at its bottom, and the top of the piston rod of each electric push rod is connected to the bottom of the corresponding conveying unit.

[0020] The mounting bracket is embedded with four rectangular guide tubes, which are located on both sides of the two electric push rods. Guide rods are inserted inside the guide tubes, and the tops of the guide rods are connected to the corresponding conveying units.

[0021] In some embodiments, the conveying unit includes a base plate connected to the top end of an electric push rod piston rod, the bottom of which is connected to the top end of a guide rod;

[0022] Two conical side plates are arranged opposite each other on the base plate. Two drive wheels are arranged relative to each other between the two conical side plates on the same side. A conveyor belt is arranged to drive the two adjacent drive wheels.

[0023] A second reducer and a second drive motor are provided on one side of the tapered side plate. The output shaft of the second drive motor is connected to the input shaft of the second reducer, and the output shaft of the second reducer is connected to one end of the drive wheel on one side.

[0024] In some embodiments, a support plate is provided between two adjacent conical side plates, the support plate being located inside the conveyor belt, and two guide rollers are rotatably provided between two adjacent conical side plates, the guide rollers contacting the bottom of the conveyor belt.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] This application provides a device for transporting seedlings of Chinese medicinal herbs, which solves the problem in related technologies where the transport of seedlings in the factory mainly relies on manual handling. Workers need to move the seedling frames containing the seedlings from one location to another, which is physically demanding and inefficient.

[0037] Please see Figures 1-3 A device for transporting seedlings of Chinese medicinal materials includes: a ground rail 1, on which a platform 2 is slidably arranged, and a driving component 3 is arranged on the platform 2, the driving component 3 being used to drive the platform 2 to move along the length of the ground rail 1;

[0038] The platform 2 is provided with a feeding rack 4, and the feeding rack 4 is provided with a supporting plate 5. The supporting plate 5 is used to place the seedling frame containing Chinese medicinal seedlings. The supporting plate 5 is provided with two lifting through holes 51 opposite to each other.

[0039] The platform 2 is provided with a lifting mechanism 6, and the bottom of the lifting through hole 51 is provided with a conveying unit 7. The lifting mechanism 6 is connected to two conveying units 7 and is used to drive the conveying units 7 to move along the height of the lifting through hole 51 to lift the seedling frame on the support plate 5. The conveying unit 7 is used to move the lifted seedling frame along the width of the feeding rack 4.

[0040] During the seedling transport process, the drive unit 3 is activated, driving the platform 2 to move along the length of the ground rail 1. The ground rail 1 provides track support for the movement of the platform 2, ensuring that the platform 2 can move smoothly along the predetermined path. After the material rack 4 carrying the seedlings and seedling frames is transported to the designated work position, the lifting mechanism 6 starts to work. The lifting mechanism 6 is connected to two conveying units 7 set at the bottom of the lifting through hole 51. Under the action of the lifting mechanism 6, the conveying units 7 move upward along the height direction of the lifting through hole 51. As the conveying units 7 rise, they gradually lift the seedlings placed on the support plate 5, causing the seedlings to detach from the support plate 5.

[0041] After the seedlings are lifted, the conveying unit 7 continues to work, moving the lifted seedlings along the width of the feeding rack 4. Through this movement, the seedlings can be accurately transported from the feeding rack 4 to the work station to complete the unloading operation.

[0042] Through the coordinated operation of the ground rail 1, platform 2, drive unit 3, lifting mechanism 6, and conveying unit 7, the automated conveying and unloading of Chinese medicinal herb seedlings and seedling frames is achieved. Compared with the traditional manual handling and unloading method, this greatly shortens the transfer time of seedlings during the transportation process, reduces the tedious manual operation, and improves the efficiency of seedling transportation.

[0043] The lifting mechanism 6 and the conveying unit 7 can precisely control the lifting and movement direction of the Chinese medicinal seedlings, allowing them to be transported to the required positions at the workstations, reducing the labor intensity of workers and further improving transportation efficiency.

[0044] The length and layout of the ground track 1 can be designed and adjusted according to the space and workstation requirements of the actual production workshop. The platform 2 can move flexibly along the ground track 1, so that the conveying equipment can adapt to Chinese medicinal seedling production lines of different sizes and layouts, and has strong versatility and adaptability.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the ground rail 1 in this embodiment includes two steel rails 11 arranged opposite to each other, and the two steel rails 11 are connected by a metal rod. A slide rail 12 is provided on the steel rail 11, and a plurality of sliders 13 are slidably arranged on the slide rail 12. The platform 2 is located above the top of the plurality of sliders 13.

[0046] Two steel rails 11 arranged opposite each other constitute the main support structure of the ground rail 1. The two steel rails 11 are connected by metal rods, which enhances the overall stability and strength of the ground rail 1 and ensures that it can bear the weight of the platform 2, the seedlings on it, and the seedling frames on which the seedlings are placed, providing a reliable foundation for the smooth movement of the platform 2.

[0047] Multiple sliders 13 are slidably mounted on slide rail 12 and can slide freely on slide rail 12. The platform 2 is mounted above the multiple sliders 13. When the driving component 3 drives the platform 2 to move, the platform 2 transmits the force to the sliders 13. The sliders 13 slide along slide rail 12, thereby guiding the platform 2 to move smoothly and accurately along the length of the ground rail 1.

[0048] like Figure 4As shown, in one example, the driving component 3 includes: a fixed plate 31 disposed on one side of the platform 2; a reducer 32 disposed on the fixed plate 31 and a drive motor 33 connected to the reducer 32; a rack 34 disposed on one side of the rail 11; the output shaft of the drive motor 33 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer 32, and the output shaft of the reducer 32 is provided with a gear 35 meshing with the rack 34.

[0049] After the drive motor 33 starts, its output shaft begins to rotate. Since the output shaft of the drive motor 33 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer 32, the power is transmitted to the reducer 32. The reducer 32 reduces the high-speed rotational power output by the drive motor 33, thereby increasing the output torque and reducing the speed to meet the appropriate power required for the movement of the table 2.

[0050] A gear 35 is provided on the output shaft of the reducer 32, and a rack 34 is provided on one side of the rail 11. The gear 35 meshes with the rack 34. When the output shaft of the reducer 32 drives the gear 35 to rotate, the meshing action between the gear 35 and the rack 34 will generate a driving force along the direction of the rack 34. The driving force is transmitted to the platform 2 through the fixed plate 31, thereby driving the platform 2 to move along the length direction of the ground rail 1.

[0051] Furthermore, there are two drive components 3, which are arranged opposite to each other at both ends of the platform 2.

[0052] Two drive components 3 are positioned opposite each other at both ends of the traveling table 2. When the two drive components 3 work simultaneously, they work together to provide power to the traveling table 2. The gears 35 of the two drive components 3 mesh with the racks 34 on the corresponding side of the rail 11, and the resulting driving forces work together to ensure that the traveling table 2 can move smoothly and linearly.

[0053] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 6 includes a mounting frame 61 disposed above the platform 2, the mounting frame 61 being located within the unloading frame 4; two electric push rods 62 are disposed opposite each other at the bottom of the mounting frame 61, the top end of the piston rod of the electric push rod 62 being connected to the bottom of the corresponding conveying unit 7; four rectangularly distributed guide cylinders 63 are embedded in the mounting frame 61, the four guide cylinders 63 being located on both sides of the two electric push rods 62 respectively, and guide rods 64 are inserted inside the guide cylinders 63, the top end of the guide rods 64 being connected to the corresponding conveying unit 7.

[0054] When it is necessary to lift the seedlings on the feeding rack 4, the lifting mechanism 6 starts to work. The two electric push rods 62 set at the bottom of the mounting frame 61 start at the same time. The piston rods of the electric push rods 62 begin to extend upward. As the piston rods extend, they will push the conveying unit 7 to move upward. During the upward movement of the conveying unit 7, it will gradually pass through the lifting through hole 51 on the supporting plate 5, lifting the seedlings and seedling frames placed on the supporting plate 5.

[0055] When the conveying unit 7 is pushed upward by the electric push rod 62, the guide rod 64 will slide upward synchronously along the inner wall of the guide cylinder 63, which will guide and limit the movement of the conveying unit 7, prevent the conveying unit 7 from shaking or deviating during the lifting process, and ensure that the medicinal seedlings and seedling frames can be lifted smoothly and accurately.

[0056] The cooperative structure of the guide cylinder 63 and the guide rod 64 provides precise guidance for the lifting process of the conveying unit 7. The guide rod 64 slides within the guide cylinder 63, which can effectively limit the horizontal displacement of the conveying unit 7 and ensure that the conveying unit 7 can only move up and down in the vertical direction. This ensures that the position of the medicinal seedlings is accurate when they are lifted, and avoids the medicinal seedlings and seedling frames falling due to unstable lifting.

[0057] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the conveying unit 7 includes a base plate 71 connected to the top end of the piston rod of the electric push rod 62, and the bottom of the base plate 71 is connected to the top end of the guide rod 64; two conical side plates 72 are arranged opposite to each other on the base plate 71, and two drive wheels 73 are rotatably arranged between the two conical side plates 72 on the same side, and a conveyor belt 74 is driven between two adjacent drive wheels 73; a second reducer 75 and a second drive motor 76 are arranged on one side of the conical side plate 72, the output shaft of the second drive motor 76 is connected to the input shaft of the second reducer 75, and the output shaft of the second reducer 75 is connected to one end of one side drive wheel 73.

[0058] When the electric push rod 62 in the lifting mechanism 6 is activated and the piston rod extends upward, it drives the bottom plate 71 connected to it to rise together. Since the bottom of the bottom plate 71 is connected to the top of the guide rod 64, the guide rod 64 slides along the guide cylinder 63 during the rising process, ensuring that the bottom plate 71 rises smoothly, thereby allowing the entire conveying unit 7 to pass through the lifting through hole 51 of the material support plate 5 and lift the medicinal seedlings.

[0059] After the medicinal seedlings are lifted to a suitable height, the conveying unit 7 begins to perform the conveying action. The second drive motor 76 on one side starts, and its output shaft transmits power to the second reducer 75. After the second reducer 75 reduces the power and increases the torque, it drives the drive wheel 73 connected to it to rotate through its output shaft.

[0060] When one of the drive wheels 73 rotates under the drive of the reducer 75, the conveyor belt 74 starts to run, driving the other drive wheel 73 to rotate synchronously. As the conveyor belt 74 runs, the lifted medicinal seedlings and seedling frames move along the width of the feeding rack 4 under the friction of the conveyor belt 74, completing the conveying and unloading operation from the feeding rack 4 to the designated position.

[0061] like Figure 6 As shown, further, in this embodiment, a support plate 8 is provided between two adjacent conical side plates 72, the support plate 8 is located inside the conveyor belt 74, and two guide rollers 9 are rotatably provided between the two adjacent conical side plates 72, the guide rollers 9 are in contact with the bottom of the conveyor belt 74.

[0062] A support plate 8 is provided between two adjacent conical side plates 72, and the support plate 8 is located inside the conveyor belt 74. When the medicinal seedlings and seedling frames are placed on the conveyor belt 74 for transportation, the support plate 8 can provide additional support for the conveyor belt 74. Since the medicinal seedlings and seedling frames have a certain weight, the conveyor belt 74 will sink to a certain extent after carrying the medicinal seedlings and seedling frames. The presence of the support plate 8 can effectively reduce this sinking degree, ensuring that the conveyor belt 74 remains relatively flat during transportation, thereby allowing the medicinal seedlings and seedling frames to be transported more smoothly.

[0063] Two guide rollers 9 are rotatably arranged between two adjacent conical side plates 72, and the guide rollers 9 are in contact with the bottom of the conveyor belt 74. When the conveyor belt 74 is running, the guide rollers 9 will rotate with the movement of the conveyor belt 74. The main function of the guide rollers 9 is to guide and tension the conveyor belt 74, ensuring that the conveyor belt 74 always maintains the correct position and appropriate tension during operation.
