Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of tree planting vehicle equipment, specifically relating to a tree planting vehicle suitable for planting in the desert of southern Xinjiang. Background Technology

[0002] Southern Xinjiang, my country, faces a severe desertification problem. Desert areas not only have harsh ecological environments but also significantly impact surrounding areas. Due to water scarcity, heat, and sandstorms, desertification control, especially afforestation in desert environments, is extremely difficult. While traditional tree-planting methods are reliable, they rely on manpower, are time-consuming and inefficient, and perform poorly in varying environmental conditions. To protect the ecological environment and prevent soil desertification, southern Xinjiang is increasingly emphasizing large-scale afforestation.

[0003] However, for a long time, desert afforestation has still relied mainly on manual labor, and the use of various power-driven mechanical tree planting devices is not widespread enough, resulting in high costs and low efficiency in tree planting, which cannot meet the requirements of southern Xinjiang for tree planting. Therefore, for large-scale afforestation in southern Xinjiang, mechanization and automation have become urgent problems to be solved.

[0004] To address this issue, various mechanical tree planting devices have emerged on the market. However, most of these devices are modified from tractors and other vehicle-mounted tools, relying on their power to move and auxiliary devices to dig holes. The separation and planting of seedlings are still done manually, and manual planting is prone to inaccurate positioning, which can easily lead to problems in subsequent seedling cultivation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a tree planting vehicle suitable for planting in the desert of southern Xinjiang. Through a structure that automates a series of actions such as digging holes, filling cotton stalks, planting trees, and watering, it achieves an efficient tree planting process, improves tree planting efficiency, realizes an automated tree planting process, and reduces labor costs and the tediousness of tree planting work.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A tree-planting vehicle suitable for planting in the deserts of southern Xinjiang includes a tracked mechanism, a hole-digging mechanism, a seedling transport mechanism, a cotton stalk transport mechanism, a soil-filling mechanism, and a water-spraying mechanism mounted on a chassis. The tracked mechanism is arranged on the left and right sides of the chassis. The hole-digging mechanism is installed at the front of the chassis. The seedling transport mechanism and the cotton stalk transport mechanism are installed at the rear of the hole-digging mechanism. The soil-filling mechanism is installed at the lower part of the chassis. The water-spraying mechanism is installed at the rear of the chassis. The tree-planting vehicle digs holes using the hole-digging mechanism, transports crushed cotton stalks into the holes by the cotton stalk transport mechanism to fix moisture and provide nutrients, then sprays water using the water-spraying mechanism. Afterward, the seedlings are transported into the holes by the seedling transport mechanism, and finally, the soil-filling mechanism fills the holes with soil.

[0008] The cotton stalk transport mechanism includes a cotton stalk box, a second chute, a second cam, a second camshaft, a second cam support rod, a seedling sleeve, an iris-type opening and closing mechanism, a planar cam, a second slider, and a fourth drive motor. The cotton stalk box is installed in the upper middle part of the seedling support. The second chute is adjacent to the cotton stalk box and installed behind it. The second cam is installed below the second chute. The second camshaft passes through the second cam. The second cam support rod is installed on both sides of the second camshaft. The seedling sleeve is installed in the middle of the frame. The iris-type opening and closing mechanism is arranged at the top of the seedling sleeve. The planar cam is adjacent to the iris-type opening and closing mechanism. The second slider is arranged behind the seedling sleeve. The fourth drive motor is arranged above the second slider.

[0009] Furthermore, the track mechanism includes tracks, track wheels, bushings, and a first drive motor; there are two tracks, which are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the vehicle frame, the track wheels are installed inside the tracks, the bushings are installed between the track wheels and the vehicle frame, the drive motor is arranged inside the vehicle frame, and the tracks are driven by the first drive motor.

[0010] Furthermore, the digging mechanism includes a drill bit, a guide frame, a first slider, a second drive motor, and a third drive motor; the guide frame is installed on the upper end of the front of the vehicle frame, the first slider is connected to the guide frame, the drill bit is installed in front of the vehicle frame, and the second drive motor and the third drive motor are installed on top of the drill bit and the guide frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the seedling transport mechanism includes a seedling support, a seedling box, a first chute, a first cam, a first camshaft, a first cam support rod, and a fixing frame; the seedling support is installed on the rear side of the guide frame, the seedling box is installed on the top of the seedling support, the first chute is adjacent to the seedling box and installed on its rear side, the first cam is installed below the first chute, the first camshaft passes through the first cam, the first cam support rod is installed on both sides of the camshaft, and the fixing frame is adjacent to the first cam support rod and installed on its rear side.

[0012] Furthermore, the soil-covering mechanism includes a mechanical claw, a soil-covering mechanism, and a fifth drive motor; the mechanical claw is arranged at the bottom of the seedling sleeve, the soil-covering mechanism is arranged on both sides of the mechanical claw, and the fifth drive motor is arranged next to the soil-covering mechanism.

[0013] Furthermore, the water spraying mechanism includes a water tank, a water pump, and a water pipe; the water tank is arranged at the rear of the trolley, the water pump is arranged on the water tank, and the water pipe is connected to the water pump.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages through the above technical solution:

[0015] (1) The tracked trolley designed in this utility model can help with afforestation activities in the desert. First, the area to be planted is planned and the spacing of the seedlings is set. Then, the seedlings are placed flat in the seedling box of the trolley. The trolley will automatically move to the corresponding position according to the system settings to start digging holes. The seedlings are transported and planted using an integrated seedling separation and planting device. The whole process is fully automated and mechanized, which can reduce the manpower required for planting and separating seedlings, and can carry out high-intensity work, greatly improving efficiency and reducing costs.

[0016] (2) By setting tracks, this utility model solves the problem that existing tree planting robots with four-wheel drive are prone to getting stuck in soft sand. It also reduces the pressure on the sand. The tracks have good slope stability against overturning and sliding. They also have the characteristics of small turning radius, strong off-road capability, etc., and are suitable for desert terrain operations.

[0017] (3) This utility model improves the survival rate of seedlings by using crushed cotton stalks. Since the surface of the desert in southern Xinjiang is mainly fine sand with small particles but many pores, it has a certain degree of water permeability, which is conducive to water infiltration. In addition, the temperature in the desert area is high and water evaporates severely. Therefore, an appropriate amount of crushed cotton stalks are first put into the dug pit, and then seedlings are planted and watered. Finally, the soil is buried. This not only fixes the water and reduces water evaporation, but the crushed cotton stalks can also provide nutrients for the growth of seedlings. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To fully understand the embodiments of this utility model, a detailed structure will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of this utility model is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below; however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, this utility model may have other embodiments.

[0029] Reference Figure 1As shown in the illustration, this embodiment provides a tree-planting vehicle suitable for planting in the deserts of southern Xinjiang. It includes a track mechanism 2, a digging mechanism 3, a seedling transport mechanism 4, a cotton stalk transport mechanism 5, a soil-covering mechanism 6, and a water spraying mechanism 7, all mounted on a frame 1. The track mechanism 2 is arranged on the left and right sides of the frame 1. The digging mechanism 3 is installed at the front of the frame 1. The seedling transport mechanism 4 and the cotton stalk transport mechanism 5 are installed at the rear of the digging mechanism 3. The soil-covering mechanism 6 is installed at the lower part of the frame 1, and the water spraying mechanism 7 is installed at the rear of the frame 1. The tree-planting vehicle digs holes using the digging mechanism 3, transports crushed cotton stalks to the holes using the cotton stalk transport mechanism 5 to fix moisture and provide nutrients, then sprays water using the water spraying mechanism 7. Afterward, the seedlings are transported to the holes by the seedling transport mechanism 4, and finally, the soil is covered by the soil-covering mechanism 6.

[0030] In this embodiment, the track mechanism 2 includes tracks 2-1, track wheels 2-2, axle 2-3, and a first drive motor 2-4.

After the track mechanism 2 drives the trolley forward a certain distance, the tracks 2-1 stop moving, and the rear planting sleeve 6-1 aligns perfectly with the hole drilled by the front drill bit 3-1. The track 2-1 has completed its work. The tracks have a low ground pressure, a larger contact area, increased friction, better grip, and reduced pressure relative to the ground, making them less prone to getting stuck. Furthermore, the structure is simple, sturdy, and durable. With its superior passability and climbing ability, the tracked vehicle has excellent stability on slopes due to its low center of gravity and high coefficient of adhesion.

The second drive motor 3-4 drives the drill bit 3-1 to drill the tree pit, and the third drive motor 3-5 drives the first slider 3-3 to move up and down, thereby driving the drill bit 3-1 to move up and down.

[0032] In this embodiment, the seedling transport mechanism 4 includes a seedling support 4-1, a seedling box 4-2, a first chute 4-3, a first cam 4-4, a first camshaft 4-5, a first cam support rod 4-6, and a fixing frame 4-7.

[0033] In this embodiment, the cotton stalk transport mechanism 5 includes a cotton stalk box 5-1, a second chute 5-2, a second cam 5-3, a second camshaft 5-4, a second cam support rod 5-5, a seedling sleeve 5-6, an iris-type opening and closing mechanism 5-7, a planar cam 5-8, a second slider 5-9, and a fourth drive motor 5-10. The cotton stalk box 5-1 is installed above the middle of the seedling support 4-1. The chute 5-1 is adjacent to the cotton stalk box 5-1 and installed behind it. The second cam 5-3 is installed below the second chute 5-2. The second camshaft 5-4 passes through the second cam 5-3. The second cam support rod 5-5 is installed on both sides of the second camshaft 5-4. The second chute 5-2 is used to transport the crushed cotton stalks, ensuring they pass accurately through the iris-type opening and closing mechanism 5-7 and then through the seedling sleeve 5-6 into the dug pit.

[0034] To facilitate understanding of the device structure in this embodiment, the specific working principle of this device is as follows:

[0035] When using this tree-planting vehicle suitable for desert planting, the seedlings and shredded cotton stalks are placed in the seedling box 4-2 and the cotton stalk box 5-1 respectively. The first drive motor 2-4 starts and drives the tracked trolley to move around the desert planting area. When the trolley moves to the drilling position, it stops. The third drive motor 3-5 drives the first slider 3-3 to move downward, thereby moving the drill bit 3-1 at the front of the trolley downward. The second drive motor 3-4 drives the drill bit 3-1 to rotate, thus drilling a hole. After drilling is completed, the third drive motor 3-5 drives the first slider 3-3 to move upward, thereby returning the drill bit 3-1 to its original position. The trolley is started again and moves forward a distance. When the planting sleeve 5-6 is aligned with the hole, the trolley stops. At this time, the fourth drive motor 5-10 drives the second slider 5-9 to move downward, thereby moving the planting sleeve 5-6 downward. When the planting sleeve 5-6 moves to the appropriate position, it stops. Then, the motor drives the flat cam 5-8 to rotate, thereby moving the iris switch and opening the iris opening mechanism 5-7. At this time, the crushed cotton stalks enter the planting sleeve 5-6 through the chute 5-2 and the iris opening mechanism 5-7. Then, the fifth drive motor 6-3 drives the soil covering mechanism to open, thereby opening the mechanical claw and allowing the crushed cotton stalks to fall into the drilled hole. Afterward, the water spraying mechanism 7 sprays an appropriate amount of water into the hole, which not only compacts the cotton stalks but also provides moisture for the growth of the seedlings. Afterwards, the sapling is inserted into the hole through the first chute 4-3, the iris-type opening and closing mechanism 5-7, and the planting sleeve 5-6. Once this process is complete, the fourth drive motor 5-10 drives the second slider 5-9 to move upwards, thereby moving the planting sleeve 5-6 back to its original position. Finally, the fifth drive motor 6-3 drives the soil covering mechanism 6-2 to cover the sapling with soil. After covering, the soil covering mechanism 6-2 returns to its original position and secures the mechanical claw 6-1. At this point, the sapling planting is complete, and the trolley is driven to the next planting location to repeat the planting process.
