[0002] With the improvement of agricultural production levels, especially the widespread application of modern greenhouse cultivation technology, seedling trays play a very important role in the seedling process. Seedling trays are used for plant seedling raising, transplanting, and cultivation, effectively separating the planting soil, helping plant roots grow well, and enabling scientific management. However, in actual seedling raising, sorting and removing seedlings from the trays has become a difficult and labor-intensive task. Traditional manual seedling removal methods are not only inefficient but also cumbersome, easily leading to seedling damage and waste of seedling substrate. Existing automated sorting equipment mainly uses mechanical or airflow methods to remove seedlings, but these devices often have low seedling removal efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a seedling tray seedling sorting, removal and positioning device, which aims to improve the low seedling removal efficiency of existing seedling tray seedling sorting, removal and positioning devices.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a seedling tray sorting, removal, and positioning device, comprising a base, a gantry frame fixedly connected to the upper part of the base, a three-axis robotic arm fixedly connected inside the gantry frame, a fixing plate fixedly connected to the upper left side of the base, support springs evenly fixedly connected around the upper perimeter of the fixing plate, an mounting plate fixedly connected to the end of the support springs away from the fixing plate, T-shaped mounting grooves provided on both the front and rear sides of the upper part of the mounting plate, T-shaped sliders slidably connected inside the T-shaped mounting grooves, a limit plate fixedly connected to the upper part of the T-shaped sliders, a seedling tray body provided in the middle of the mounting plate, cylinders fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the upper part of the mounting plate, and a vibration loosening component provided on the upper part of the fixing plate for vibrating and loosening the soil of the seedling tray body.

[0025] 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.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a seedling tray sorting, removal, and positioning device, comprising a base 1, a gantry frame 2 fixedly connected to the upper part of the base 1, a three-axis robotic arm 3 fixedly connected inside the gantry frame 2, a fixing plate 15 fixedly connected to the upper left side of the base 1, support springs 5 ​​evenly fixedly connected around the upper perimeter of the fixing plate 15, and an mounting plate 6 fixedly connected to the end of the support springs 5 ​​away from the fixing plate 15. T-shaped mounting grooves 7 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the upper part of the mounting plate 6, and T-shaped sliders 8 are slidably connected inside the T-shaped mounting grooves 7. A limit plate 9 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the T-shaped sliders 8. A seedling tray body 10 is provided in the upper middle part of the mounting plate 6. Cylinders 11 are fixedly connected to the upper left and right sides of plate 6. Limiting plates 9 are slidably connected to the outer left and right sides of the seedling tray body 10. Mounting plate 6 is made of aluminum alloy, and fixing plate 15 is made of steel. Conveyor belt 4 is fixedly connected to the upper right side of base 1. Vibration loosening component is set on the upper part of fixing plate 15 for vibrating and loosening the soil of seedling tray body 10. Vibration loosening component includes support frame 12, which is fixedly connected to the upper left side of fixing plate 15. Motor 13 is fixedly connected inside support frame 12. Eccentric block 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of motor 13. Eccentric block 14 is located in the lower middle part of mounting plate 6 and is made of cast iron.

[0027] When sorting seedlings from the seedling trays, the seedling tray body 10 is first placed in the middle of the mounting plate 6. Then, the starting cylinder 11 is controlled to move the limiting plate 9, thereby clamping and fixing the seedling tray body 10 to prevent displacement during subsequent operations. Next, the motor 13 is started to drive the eccentric block 14 to rotate. The rotation of the eccentric block 14 generates vibration through the mounting plate 6, which in turn causes the seedling tray body 10 to vibrate to a certain amplitude. This vibration effectively loosens the seedling substrate and gradually separates the substrate from the inner wall of the tray, further improving the looseness between the seedling substrate and the tray. This ensures that the seedlings can be easily sorted and removed. This vibration method not only improves the efficiency of the sorting process but also reduces the complexity of manual operation, greatly enhancing the convenience of sorting and removing seedlings from the seedling trays.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-3 The support spring 5 is made of stainless steel, the T-shaped slider 8 is made of nylon, and the limit plate 9 is made of aluminum alloy.

[0029] By using stainless steel, the resilience and corrosion resistance of the support spring 5 are ensured, enabling it to work stably even in humid or corrosive environments, thus ensuring the long-term reliability of the device. The use of nylon material improves the wear resistance of the T-slider 8 while reducing the coefficient of friction, thereby improving the operating efficiency and service life of the equipment. The use of aluminum alloy material ensures the stability and wear resistance of the limit plate 9, enabling it to maintain accurate positioning function during frequent use and reducing the risk of failure caused by wear, thereby improving the service life of the seedling tray sorting and positioning device.

[0030] Working principle: When it is necessary to sort the seedlings in the seedling tray, the seedling tray body 10 is placed on the middle of the mounting plate 6. Then, the starting cylinder 11 is controlled to drive the limiting plate 9 to move. The limiting plate 9 clamps the seedling tray body 10. Then, the starting motor 13 is controlled to drive the eccentric block 14 to rotate. The eccentric block 14 drives the mounting plate 6 to vibrate and loosen the soil in the seedling tray body 10. The seedling tray sorting and removal positioning device can separate the seedling substrate from the inner wall of the seedling tray through vibration, which improves the convenience of sorting and removing the seedlings in the seedling tray.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
