Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an experimental device for single-seed extraction and bulb adjustment in a garlic planter, belonging to the field of garlic planting technology. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional garlic cultivation is labor-intensive and inefficient, directly impacting the economic benefits of the garlic industry. China is the world's largest garlic producer, with a planting area exceeding 10 million mu. Due to the immaturity of mechanized planting technology, garlic cultivation mainly relies on traditional manual labor, resulting in high labor intensity, low efficiency, and poor quality. Currently, there are garlic planting machines on the market, but their operating effects are not ideal. The single-seed extraction and bud-facing planting effects are difficult to meet the requirements of garlic farmers. The low single-seed extraction rate leads to missed extractions and low yields, while excessive extraction results in seed waste. The low bud-facing rate also leads to low yields and irregular garlic bulb shapes at harvest.
[0003] To advance the mechanization of garlic cultivation in my country, developing mechanized garlic planting equipment suitable for my country's national conditions is particularly important. This will not only accelerate the modernization of garlic production but also promote the development of the entire garlic industry. To overcome the challenges of single-seed extraction and bulbil alignment techniques, this invention designs an experimental device for single-seed extraction and bulbil alignment in a garlic planting machine.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0021] The embodiment, shown in Figures 1-5, comprises a base 1, a fixed seat 2, a fixed bracket 3, a garlic seed box 4, a baffle 5, a seed-taking claw 6, a seed-cleaning grid 7, an inoculation box 8, an adjustment mechanism 9, a horizontal adjustment plate 10, a vertical adjustment plate 11, a fixing bolt 12, a gearbox 13, a chain 14, a sprocket 15, a seed-taking speed-regulating motor 16, and a shaft 17. The base 1 can be constructed from existing fixed steel plates and supports the entire device. The gearbox 4 is located on the upper part of the base 1 and is used to adjust the speed of the chain drive. The fixed seat 2 supports the seed-cleaning grid 7. The shaft 17 is a stepped shaft, consisting of two shafts, each with its two ends concentrically connected to the sprocket 15 and concentrically fixed in the fixing holes of the fixed seat 2 via bearings. The fixed bracket 3 is located above the fixed seat 2, providing a stable support structure for the entire device. The garlic seed box 4 is constructed from existing steel plates and fixed to the fixed bracket 3. The upper part serves as a container for storing garlic seeds, connected to a baffle 5. The baffle 5, located below the end of the seed-collecting claw that drops the garlic seeds, effectively prevents the seeds from spilling or scattering during transport. The inoculation box 8 is fixed to a fixed bracket and connected to an adjustment mechanism 9 below, used to receive the garlic seeds taken out by the seed-collecting claw 6. The seed-collecting speed-regulating motor 16 is located above the fixed base 2, providing a power source for the equipment. It drives the sprockets 15 on the gearbox 13 to rotate via a chain 14. There are six sprockets 15 in total. One is fixed to the output shaft of the seed-collecting speed-regulating motor 16, serving as the starting point for power transmission. The rotational power of the seed-collecting speed-regulating motor 16 is transmitted to the input shaft sprocket of the gearbox via the chain 14. Two sprockets are fixed to the input and output shafts of the gearbox 13, respectively. The sprocket 15 at the input shaft end transmits the power from the motor to the gear set inside the gearbox 13. The rotation speed is adjusted to provide suitable power parameters for subsequent transmission. Another component is fixed to one end of one of the shafts 17, which drives the rotation of the seed-picking claw 6. The seed-picking speed-regulating motor 16 can control the seed-picking frequency and positional accuracy of the seed-picking claw, enabling it to work in conjunction with the seed-cleaning grid 7 to achieve precise seed picking and efficient seed cleaning. The seed-picking claw 6 consists of a middle plate 601, side plates 602, and a fixed plate 603. There are two side plates 602. The middle plate 601 is fixed to one side of the fixed plate 603 at the middle position between the two side plates 602. The two side plates 602 are fixed symmetrically to the middle plate 601 at a certain distance on one side of the fixed plate 603, on the same plane as the middle plate 601, forming a certain seed-accommodating space.Four seed-cleaning grid plates 7 are fixed side-by-side at equal intervals on the fixed bracket 3. One side of each seed-cleaning grid plate 7 is angled along the lifting direction of the seed-collecting claw 6. Multiple seed-collecting claws 6 are fixed at intervals on the chain 14. During installation, the seed-collecting claws 6 are interlaced with the seed-cleaning grid plates 7. Initially, multiple garlic seeds can be grabbed from the garlic seed box 4 during the lifting process. As the claws rise, the seed-collecting space of the claws 6 gradually decreases under the influence of one side of the seed-cleaning grid plate 7, removing excess seeds at the end, leaving only one seed. The horizontal adjustment plate 10 of the adjustment mechanism is fixed to the bottom of the fixed bracket 3 and can be adjusted and moved along the width of the fixed bracket 3. The vertical adjustment plate 11 of the adjustment mechanism is fixed to the side of the horizontal adjustment plate 10 and can be adjusted and moved along the height of the fixed bracket 3. One end of the adjustment mechanism 9 is connected to the inoculation box 8. The bottom is connected, and the other end is fixedly connected to the vertical adjustment plate 11 of the adjustment mechanism; the stretching length and height of the adjustment mechanism 9 can be adjusted through the vertical adjustment plate 11 and the horizontal adjustment plate 10 of the adjustment mechanism to ensure the optimal adjustment effect of the parameters experiment.
[0022] In use, place the garlic cloves in the garlic clove box 4, press the pneumatic switch of the seed-picking speed control motor 16, which drives the gearbox 13 to rotate. The rotation is transmitted through the sprocket 14 and chain 15 to the seed-picking claw 6, which performs a circular motion. When the seed-picking claw 6 passes the garlic clove box 4, it can pick up 2-3 garlic cloves. During the lifting process, due to the action of the seed-cleaning grid 7, the seed-holding space of the seed-picking claw 6 becomes smaller and smaller until only one garlic clove remains. The speed of the seed-picking speed control motor 16 can be adjusted during this process. After multiple tests, the optimal seed-picking speed can be determined. When the garlic clove passes through the adjusting device 9, it will fall with the scales facing upwards due to gravity, elasticity, and the shape characteristics of the garlic clove. At this point, based on the adjusting effect, the horizontal adjusting plate 10 and the vertical adjusting plate 11 of the adjusting mechanism can be adjusted. Adjustment experiments can be conducted by setting the extension length and height of the adjusting mechanism 9 to ensure the optimal adjustment effect.
[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
