Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pumpkin seedling positioning and transplanting technology, specifically to a pumpkin field transplanting positioning device. Background Technology
[0002] Transplanting pumpkin seedlings is a crucial step in agricultural production. Traditional transplanting methods typically rely on manual operation of transplanters. The process involves the worker holding the handle of the transplanter, forcefully inserting one end into the soil, placing the pumpkin seedling inside, and then pulling on a movable part of the transplanter to open the bottom, allowing the seedling to fall into the soil and complete the transplant. However, this method has significant drawbacks: firstly, it requires considerable physical exertion, especially in large-scale planting, resulting in high labor intensity and low efficiency; secondly, although large-scale automated seedling transplanting machines are available on the market, their high price makes them unaffordable for small-scale farmers, hindering their widespread adoption.
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, some improvements have been proposed in the existing technology. For example, patent document CN213214326U discloses a no-till pumpkin seedling transplanting method, including a top plate, seedling inlet hole, support plate, rotating shaft, casters, outer cylinder, inner cylinder, drive device, soil drilling device, and push rod. This device drives the transplanting device into the soil, eliminating the need for manual downward pressure, thus reducing operational intensity. Furthermore, its overall structure is simple and inexpensive, making it suitable for small-scale agricultural use. However, this device still has shortcomings in practical use:
[0004] Because the device lacks a positioning function for pumpkin seedlings during transplanting, the planting spacing relies entirely on the operator's experience. This non-standardized planting method easily leads to uneven spacing between pumpkin seedlings, which in turn affects the plants' light exposure, ventilation, and nutrient absorption, ultimately reducing the yield and quality of the pumpkins.

[0048] The cooperation between the first storage tank 600 and the second storage tank 700 makes it convenient for staff to place pumpkin seedling trays later.
[0049] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0050] In use:
[0051] Before use, first install the battery, circuit board and controller in the electrical control box 800 to facilitate the operation of the staff later. The controller's operating program will be set according to the following working principle.
[0052] During adjustment, the staff first adjusts the distance between the two sets of transplanting components 400 and positioning components 500 according to the width of the field ridges and the requirements for transplanting pumpkin seedlings. During adjustment, the staff first rotates the adjusting threaded rod 305. When the adjusting threaded rod 305 rotates, it will drive the moving block 306 to move. When the moving block 306 moves, it will drive the two sets of connecting rods 307 to rotate at a certain angle. When the connecting rods 307 rotate, they will drive the sliding rod 304 to slide in the sliding sleeve 302. When the sliding rod 304 moves, it will increase or decrease the distance between the two sets of transplanting components 400 and positioning components 500, thereby adjusting the longitudinal distance between the two sets of pumpkin seedlings.
[0053] At this point, when adjusting the spacing between the transplanted pumpkin seedlings and the next group of pumpkin seedlings to be transplanted, the first step is to tighten the positioning bolt 506 so that it no longer fixes the adjusting rod 503. Then, the worker moves the adjusting rod 503 so that it slides within the T-slot 502. As the adjusting rod 503 moves, the worker uses the scale 504 on the adjusting rod 503 to determine the spacing of the positioning cone 505 on the transplanting assembly 400. After the spacing is adjusted, the positioning bolt 506 is tightened so that one end of the positioning bolt 506 contacts the top surface of the adjusting rod 503, thereby fixing the adjusting rod 503 and the positioning block 501 together.
[0054] After being secured, the staff began to move the equipment to the pumpkin field. Then, the pumpkin seedling trays that needed to be transplanted were placed in the first storage trough 600 and the second storage trough 700 respectively to store the pumpkin seedling trays.
[0055] During transplanting, the worker first removes the pumpkin seedling from the seedling tray and places it into the seedling tube 402. As the seedling is placed in, it falls into the two sets of semi-conical tubes 404 under gravity. Then, the worker activates the lifting pneumatic rod 200. When the lifting pneumatic rod 200 is working, it moves the adjusting component 300, the transplanting component 400, and the positioning component 500 downwards. As the transplanting component 400 moves downwards, the two sets of semi-conical tubes 404 are inserted into the ground. As the positioning component 500 moves downwards, the positioning cone 505 makes a hole in the bottom surface. Once the two sets of semi-conical tubes 404 are inserted into the ground, the unlocking pneumatic rod 405 is activated. When the pneumatic rod 405 is in operation, it will cause the unlocking ring 406 to move upward. As the unlocking ring 406 moves upward, under the action of the unlocking linkage 407, the two sets of semi-conical cylinders 404 will rotate to both sides. As the two sets of semi-conical cylinders 404 rotate, the pumpkin seedlings inside will fall to the ground. At the same time, the soil around the semi-conical cylinders 404 will move closer to the pumpkin seedlings and cover their roots. When the transplanting of the pumpkin seedlings is completed, the lifting pneumatic rod 200 will begin to retract upward, causing the transplanting component 400 and the positioning component 500 to move upward. When the transplanting component 400 and the positioning component 500 return to their original positions, the two sets of semi-conical cylinders 404 will also close under the action of the unlocking pneumatic rod 405.
[0056] At this point, the staff can put the next group of pumpkin seedlings to be transplanted into the seedling tube 402. After the pumpkin seedlings are put in, the staff moves the equipment to move the two sets of semi-conical tubes 404 above the holes made by the positioning cone 505, and then the next group of pumpkin seedlings can be transplanted. This process is repeated to achieve transplanting at the positioning interval.
