Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tree seedling planting technology, and in particular to a rapid artificial afforestation tree seedling planting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, afforestation is a core means of expanding forest area, improving the ecological environment, and addressing climate change. Globally, large-scale afforestation projects are ongoing, playing an irreplaceable role in preventing soil erosion and curbing desertification. However, traditional planting methods still largely rely on intensive human labor. Faced with vast afforestation areas and urgent ecological construction tasks, existing manual planting models are gradually showing their limitations in terms of efficiency and cost. Developing efficient planting equipment has become an inevitable requirement for the industry's development.
[0003] Regarding the aforementioned issues, existing planting operations mainly fall into two modes: one is the traditional method, which relies entirely on manual labor. Operators use simple tools such as picks and shovels to first dig a pit at the selected location, then bend down and place the sapling into the pit; after straightening it, they cover it with soil and tamp it down. The other method utilizes partially mechanized handheld tools. Operators use a handheld gasoline or electric drill to assist in digging the pit; after the drill completes the drilling, the operator removes the drill and manually places the sapling into the hole, then completes the subsequent soil covering. Additionally, there are some simple planting tubes. Users need to first stomp a hole in the ground with their feet or other tools, then drop the sapling from the top of the tube into the hole.
[0004] However, existing technologies still have many shortcomings in practical applications: First, whether it is purely manual work or using independent ground drills, it is difficult to guarantee a high degree of consistency in the digging quality of planting pits. The depth and diameter of manually dug pits are easily affected by the worker's skill level, physical condition, and soil hardness, resulting in uneven planting depths, which directly affects the development of the seedling's root system and its initial survival rate.
[0005] Secondly, the existing technology's workflow has obvious interruptions and redundancies. The planting process is artificially broken down into multiple independent steps such as digging holes, placing seedlings, and covering with soil. After digging a hole, operators must remove or put down their tools, turn around to retrieve the seedling, and then bend or squat to place the seedling into the hole. This disjointed process not only significantly slows down the overall planting speed but also places a huge physical burden on operators due to the repeated bending over, especially causing damage to the lower back and knees. Even with the use of a ground drill, it only solves the efficiency problem of digging holes; the subsequent seedling placement remains inefficient and laborious.
[0006] To address the above problems, a rapid artificial afforestation seedling planting machine is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0007] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a rapid artificial afforestation seedling planting machine, which aims to solve the problems in the existing technology where the digging and seedling placement are independent, the operation process is not connected, resulting in low overall planting efficiency and high labor intensity for workers.

[0024] 1. In this utility model, by setting up a drilling assembly, the vertical feed of the drilling assembly is controlled by an electric push rod, and the threaded drilling rod is rotated and excavated by a drive motor. This not only greatly improves the excavation speed of planting pits and ensures the uniformity of the depth of each tree pit, but also significantly reduces the labor intensity of operators.
[0025] 2. In this invention, a connecting rod links the moving parts of the seedling lowering cylinder and the drilling assembly, achieving automatic alignment of the drilling positioning and the seedling lowering channel. After drilling is completed, the seedling separating component and the seedling lowering component work together to automatically and quantitatively place a seedling through the seedling lowering cylinder precisely into the newly formed planting pit. This integrated "drilling-seedling lowering" design seamlessly connects the two originally independent processes, forming a continuous planting process. This avoids the inefficient labor of operators repeatedly bending over to place seedlings, thus improving the overall efficiency of afforestation. Attached Figure Description

[0032] 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.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4 One embodiment of this utility model is a rapid artificial afforestation seedling planting machine, which includes a platform 1 as the base of a mobile platform. In order to facilitate movement in afforestation plots, multiple wheels 102 are symmetrically installed on the bottom of the platform 1, and a handle 101 for pushing and controlling the direction is installed on the top left side, i.e. the side where the operator is used to standing. A through working groove 2 is opened on the body of the platform 1, which provides a channel for subsequent drilling operations to communicate with the ground.
[0034] Specifically, a drilling assembly 3 is installed directly above the working slot 2. The core of this assembly is a movable frame 301 that can reciprocate vertically. To ensure the smoothness and accuracy of its movement, the movable frame 301 is slidably connected to two fixed inner sliding columns 303. A drive motor 302, which powers the drilling, is installed on the top of the movable frame 301, and its output end is firmly connected to a threaded drilling rod 306. The bases of these two electric push rods 305 are fixed to the top of the vehicle platform 1, and their telescopic rod ends are connected to the force-bearing block 304. When drilling is required, the operator activates the electric push rods 305, which extend, thereby driving the entire movable frame 301, along with the drive motor 302 and the threaded drilling rod 306, to move steadily downwards, passing through the working slot 2 to drill a hole in the ground. At the same time, the drive motor 302 starts, causing the threaded drilling rod 306 to rotate at high speed. This electromechanical combination method not only allows for excavation speeds far exceeding those of manual labor, but also enables precise control of the depth of all planting pits by setting the extension stroke of the electric push rod 305, ensuring the standardization and consistency of planting operations and significantly reducing the physical exertion of workers.
[0035] To the left of the punching assembly 3, there is a seedling separating assembly 4. This assembly consists of a fixed cylindrical base 401 and an outer circular frame 402 as its base, and a rotatable inner seedling separating frame 403 inside, used to divide and store seedlings to be planted. The inner seedling separating frame 403 is driven to rotate by a second drive motor 405 located inside the cylindrical base 401. On the outer circular frame 402, a seedling outlet 404 is opened on the side facing the punching assembly 3. Each time the second drive motor 405 rotates by a preset angle, one of the seedling compartments in the inner seedling separating frame 403 is aligned with the seedling outlet 404.
[0036] To achieve automatic seedling placement, a seedling placement component 6 is also provided at the top center of the inner seedling frame 403. This component is fixed with an electric push rod 602 by a mounting block 601, and its output end is connected to the push block 603. When the push block 603 pushes the seedling, its two limiting posts 604 at the bottom slide in the limiting grooves 605 opened inside the inner seedling frame 403, ensuring the linearity and stability of the pushing action.
[0037] Near the seedling separation component 4, the movable frame 301 is fixedly connected to a seedling lowering cylinder 7 via a connecting rod 5. The vertical position of the seedling lowering cylinder 7 rises and falls synchronously with the movable frame 301, while its horizontal position is precisely set directly below the seedling outlet 404. Therefore, when the drilling component 3 descends to complete drilling, the seedling lowering cylinder 7 also descends synchronously to the vicinity of the pit opening. At this time, the electric push rod 602 of the seedling lowering component 6 is activated, pushing the push block 603 to push out a seedling aligned with the seedling outlet 404. The seedling then slides into the seedling lowering cylinder 7 and falls precisely into the newly drilled seedling pit along the cylinder wall.
[0038] Working principle: The operator moves the cart platform 1, equipped with wheels 102, to the designated planting point using the handlebars 101. After the equipment is started, the two electric push rods 305 fixed on the cart platform 1 extend, and their thrust acts on the force block 304, thereby driving the moving frame 301 to slide steadily downwards along the two inner sliding columns 303. During this process, the drive motor 302 installed on the top of the moving frame 301 starts and drives the threaded drilling rod 306 below it, causing it to rotate while descending and pass through the working groove 2 on the cart platform 1 to drill a seedling pit in the ground. At the same time, the drive motor 405 in the seedling separation assembly 4 starts, driving the inner seedling separation frame 403 to rotate, aligning one of the compartments containing the seedling with the seedling outlet 404 on the outer circular frame 402. Subsequently, the seedling lowering assembly 6 at the top of the inner seedling frame 403 is triggered, and the electric push rod 602 inside pushes the push block 603. Guided by the limiting post 604 and the limiting groove 605, the push block 603 pushes the aligned seedling out of the seedling outlet 404. The connecting rod 5 connects the moving frame 301 to the seedling lowering cylinder 7. Therefore, when the moving frame 301 descends to drill, the seedling lowering cylinder 7, which is always located directly below the seedling outlet 404, also descends synchronously to the vicinity of the pit, allowing the pushed-out seedling to fall directly into the seedling lowering cylinder 7 and slide into the newly formed tree pit. After the seedling is lowered, the electric push rod 305 retracts, resetting the moving frame 301 together with the threaded drilling rod 306 and the seedling lowering cylinder 7, waiting for the next cycle.
[0039] 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.
