Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sweet potato planting equipment technology, and in particular to a device for rapid transplanting of sweet potato seedlings. Background Technology

[0002] Sweet potatoes are a nutritious root vegetable, containing a large amount of starch, sugars, proteins, vitamins and minerals, and are known as a "nutritional complete food". The tubers of sweet potatoes are rich in starch. Sweet potato seedlings are usually planted using a seedling planter. The planter is driven by a tractor or other traction device, and the seedlings are continuously fed into a conveyor belt with grooves. The planter is then inserted into the soil at an angle by a linkage mechanism and other means, and the rollers compact the ground.

[0003] The existing sweet potato transplanters still require manual watering of the seedlings after planting, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, when the rollers compact the soil, they compact the entire ridge instead of just the area around the seedlings, which is not conducive to the growth of the seedlings. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the following shortcomings in the existing technology: the existing sweet potato transplanter still requires manual watering of the seedlings after planting, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, when the rollers are used to compact the land, the entire field ridge is compacted instead of just the area around the seedlings, which is not conducive to the growth of the seedlings. Therefore, a fast sweet potato transplanting device is proposed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A rapid sweet potato transplanting device includes a machine body and a turntable, wherein the turntable is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the machine body.

[0007] The agricultural machinery body is provided with an adjustment mechanism, which includes a fixed plate, an extraction cylinder, an extraction plate, a slide rod, and a push plate. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the agricultural machinery body, the extraction cylinder is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the fixed plate, the extraction plate is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the extraction cylinder, the slide rod is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the extraction plate, and the push plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the slide rod.

[0008] Preferably, a baffle is fixedly connected to the side wall of the agricultural machinery body, an extrusion rod is slidably connected to the side wall of the baffle, and an extrusion roller is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the extrusion rod.

[0009] Preferably, a retaining ring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the extrusion rod, and a compression spring is fixedly connected between the retaining ring and the push plate.

[0010] Preferably, a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the side wall of the agricultural machinery body, a first connecting rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating rod, a clamping block is hinged to the side wall of the first connecting rod, a second connecting rod is hinged between the clamping block and the turntable, and a third connecting rod is hinged between the sliding rod and the first connecting rod.

[0011] Preferably, a water storage tank is fixedly connected to the side wall of the agricultural machinery body, and a spray chamber is fixedly connected to the side wall of the agricultural machinery body.

[0012] Preferably, an inlet pipe is fixedly connected between the extraction cylinder and the water storage tank, and an outlet pipe is fixedly connected between the extraction cylinder and the spray chamber. Both the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are equipped with a one-way valve.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. Through the cooperation of structures such as extraction cylinder, spray chamber, and connecting rod, water is automatically drawn in while automatically inserting potato seedlings to immediately water the newly planted seedlings with "life-saving water". No manual operation is required, saving time and effort and improving planting efficiency.

[0015] 2. Through the cooperation of push plates, baffles, and retaining rings, the extrusion rollers are intermittently moved up and down to compact the soil near the potato seedlings, preventing the seedlings from leaning or being blown by the wind. This ensures close contact with the soil, facilitating rapid water absorption and production. Meanwhile, the soil in the greater distance around the seedlings is left untreated, which facilitates subsequent tuber enlargement and production, resulting in better planting results.

[0021] 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.

[0022] The terms used in this utility model, such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one", are only for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered as within the scope of implementation of this utility model.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-4 A rapid sweet potato transplanting device includes a machine body 1 (the machine body 1 is equipped with a seat, a seedling conveying device that works with clamping blocks 21, etc., which are simple existing technologies and will not be described in detail here) and a turntable 2. The turntable 2 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the machine body 1. The rotating shaft of the turntable 2 is rotatably connected to the machine body 1. The turntable 2 is driven to rotate by an external drive device. The machine body 1 is equipped with an adjustment mechanism, which includes a fixed plate 3, an extraction cylinder 4, an extraction plate 5, a sliding rod 6, and a push plate 7. The fixed plate 3 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the machine body 1. The extraction cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the fixed plate 3. The extraction plate 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the extraction cylinder 4. The sliding rod 6 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the extraction plate 5 and is slidably connected to one side wall of the extraction cylinder 4. The push plate 7 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sliding rod 6. An opening is opened on the side wall of the push plate 7, and an air outlet 20 passes through the opening.

[0024] A baffle 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the agricultural machinery body 1. A pressing rod 9 is slidably connected to the side wall of the baffle 8. The baffle 8 limits the pressing rod 9 so that it can only slide and cannot rotate. A pressing roller 10 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the pressing rod 9. A retaining ring 11 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pressing rod 9. A pressing spring 12 is fixedly connected between the retaining ring 11 and the push plate 7. The retaining ring 11 limits the pressing rod 9 so that the pressing roller 10 moves down to a certain limit, just enough to compact the potato seedlings but not to the point of being too hardened.

[0025] A rotating rod 13 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the agricultural machinery body 1. A first connecting rod 14 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating rod 13. A clamping block 21 is hinged to the side wall of the first connecting rod 14 (the clamping block 21 is existing technology. The clamping block 21 is equipped with clamping rods, springs and other structures. When it moves upward, it will drive the two clamping rods to open. When it moves downward, the two clamping rods will close to clamp the potato seedlings and send them into the soil. It will not be described in detail here). A second connecting rod 15 is hinged between the clamping block 21 and the turntable 2. A third connecting rod 16 is hinged between the sliding rod 6 and the first connecting rod 14.

[0026] A water storage tank 17 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the agricultural machinery body 1. The water storage tank 17 contains the water and nutrients needed by the potato seedlings. A spray chamber 18 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the agricultural machinery body 1. A spray pipe is provided on the spray chamber 18. An inlet pipe 19 is fixedly connected between the extraction cylinder 4 and the water storage tank 17. An outlet pipe 20 is fixedly connected between the extraction cylinder 4 and the spray chamber 18. Both the inlet pipe 19 and the outlet pipe 20 are equipped with one-way valves. The flow direction of the one-way valve in the inlet pipe 19 is from the water storage tank 17 to the extraction cylinder 4. The flow direction of the one-way valve in the outlet pipe 20 is from the extraction cylinder 4 to the spray chamber.

[0027] In this utility model, during use, the turntable 2 is driven to rotate by an external drive device. The turntable 2 drives the second connecting rod 15 to move, and the second connecting rod 15 drives the clamping block 21 to move. Together with the rotating rod 13 and the second connecting rod 14, the potato seedlings brought by the conveying device are continuously clamped up and down and inserted obliquely into the soil. When the clamping block 21 drives the potato seedlings to move down and insert them into the soil, the third connecting rod 16 drives the sliding rod 6 to move down, and the sliding rod 6 drives the extraction plate 5 to move down. The one-way valve in the water inlet pipe 19 opens, and the one-way valve in the water outlet pipe 20 closes. The water in the water storage tank 17 enters the extraction cylinder 4 through the water inlet pipe 19. The sliding rod 6 drives the push plate 7 to move up, and the push plate 7 pulls the compression spring 12 to drive the retaining ring 11 and the compression rod 9 to move up. The compression rod 9 drives the compression roller 10 to move up, so that the compression roller 10 no longer contacts the soil.

[0028] When the clamping block 21 is reset and moved upward, the third connecting rod 16 drives the sliding rod 6 to move upward, the sliding rod 6 drives the extraction plate 5 to move upward, the one-way valve in the water inlet pipe 19 is closed, the one-way valve in the water outlet pipe 20 is opened, the water in the extraction cylinder 4 enters the spray chamber 18 along the water outlet pipe 20, and the water is sprayed from the spray chamber 18 to the vicinity of the potato seedlings, eliminating the need for manual watering, saving time and effort.

[0029] The sliding rod 6 drives the push plate 7 to move downwards. The push plate 7 squeezes the compression spring 12, which in turn drives the retaining ring 11 and the compression rod 9 to move downwards. The compression rod 9 drives the compression roller 10 to move downwards, so that the compression roller 10 compacts the soil near the newly planted potato seedlings. The baffle 8 limits the retaining ring 11, so that the compression roller 10 only moves downwards by one end. During the movement, the downward compression distance is kept equal to avoid excessive compression force, which would cause the soil to become too compacted and affect the growth of the potato seedlings. The compression roller 10 compacts the potato seedlings located behind it. That is, when the clamping block 21 drives a potato seedling to be inserted obliquely into the soil, the compression roller 10 compacts the previously planted potato seedling. The two do not interfere with each other. Only the soil near the potato seedling is compacted to prevent the potato seedling from tilting or being blown by the wind. It is in close contact with the soil, which is conducive to rapid water absorption and production. At the same time, the soil far away from the potato seedling is not treated, which is conducive to the subsequent tuber enlargement production. The planting effect is better.

[0030] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", "linking", "fixing", etc., should be interpreted broadly.

[0031] 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.
