Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of potato planting technology, and in particular to a potato planting device. Background Technology
[0002] Potato cultivation is widespread throughout the world, with most countries between 71°N and 40°S cultivating potatoes. In some countries, the annual cultivation area is around 2 million mu (approximately 133,333 hectares), accounting for 36% of the total sown area of grain crops. The yield per mu has increased from 2,200 kg in the 1970s to 3,300 kg today.
[0003] Potato planting equipment can be divided into several types based on the scale of operation and technical level. These types are suitable for planting scales of 50-200 acres and integrate functions such as ditching, fertilization, sowing, mulching, and drip irrigation tape laying. They support simultaneous spraying of two pesticide tanks and are suitable for planting under plastic film mulching. Hand-held equipment is suitable for small plots but requires a hand-held cart for towing. Some planters can be adapted to different planting needs by adjusting the row spacing and plant spacing. They have a compact structure and are easy to maintain.
[0004] In the existing technology, because most small farmers abandon the use of automatic planters when planting potatoes in order to save costs, they still rely on manual cutting. This results in potato seed tubers of different sizes, requiring multiple potato seed tubers in some furrows, which increases the consumption of potato seed tubers. Summary of the Invention

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.
[0026] This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A potato planting device includes a vehicle body 1 and a rotating rod 11 that is rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the front end of the vehicle body 1. Rollers 12 are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating rod 11. A controller 13 is provided on the front side of the vehicle body 1. A cutting component 2 is provided on both the inner and outer sides of the vehicle body 1. The cutting component 2 includes a transmission component 21 provided on the upper left side of the vehicle body 1.
[0028] A guide groove 22 is provided at the center of the left side of the upper end of the vehicle body 1. A second connecting rod 23 is provided on the right side of the transmission component 21. A cutting cavity 24 is provided inside the vehicle body 1. A first cutting blade 25 is provided inside the horizontal part of the cutting cavity 24. A second cutting blade 26 is provided inside the vertical part of the cutting cavity 24. A first push plate 27 is fixedly connected to the right end of the second connecting rod 23. The first push plate 27 is slidably connected to the left side of the horizontal part inside the cutting cavity 24. After the right side of the first push plate 27 moves, it presses against the left side of the first cutting blade 25. A feed hopper 28 is provided at the center of the upper side of the vehicle body 1. An electric push rod 29 is provided on the right side of the upper end of the vehicle body 1. A second push plate 291 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 29. After the second push plate 291 moves downward, it presses against the upper side of the second cutting blade 26.
[0029] The cutting cavity 24 is bent, and the feed hopper 28 is connected to the cutting cavity 24. The shapes of the first cutting blade 25 and the second cutting blade 26 are adapted to the inner cavity shape of the cutting cavity 24.
[0030] The first push plate 27 is in the shape of an inverted "L". After the first push plate 27 moves, it is located at the connection between the feed hopper 28 and the cutting cavity 24. The blades of the first cutting blade 25 are arranged in a grid pattern, and the blades of the second cutting blade 26 are arranged longitudinally.
[0031] The transmission component 21 includes a drive motor 211 located on the upper left side of the vehicle body 1. The output end of the drive motor 211 is fixedly connected to a first turntable 212. A fixing rod 213 is fixedly connected to the left side of the front end of the first turntable 212. A first connecting rod 214 is sleeved on the outside of the fixing rod 213. A movable seat 215 is slidably connected inside the guide groove 22. The other side of the first connecting rod 214 is sleeved on the outer side of the left end of the movable seat 215.
[0032] The left and right ends of the first connecting rod 214 are cylindrical, the left end of the second connecting rod 23 is cylindrical, the front and rear sides of the guide groove 22 are provided with sliding grooves 3, and the front and rear sides of the movable seat 215 are fixedly connected with sliders 4, which are slidably connected inside the sliding grooves 3.
[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, before the potatoes are fed into the feed hopper 28, the drive motor 211 on the top of the vehicle body 1 is started by the controller 13. After the drive motor 211 drives the first turntable 212, one end of the first connecting rod 214 is sleeved on the outside of the fixed rod 213 on the front side of the first turntable 212, and the other end is sleeved on the outside of the movable seat 215. When the first turntable 212 rotates once, the first connecting rod 214 pushes the movable seat 215, causing the movable seat 215 to slide back and forth once inside the guide groove 22. At this time, the slider 4 fixed at the front and rear of the movable seat 215 will slide inside the slide groove 3. During this process, the second connecting rod 23 sleeved on the other side of the movable seat 215 will push the first push plate 27, causing the first push plate 27 to move back and forth once inside the cutting cavity 24. As the first push plate 27 slides inside the cutting cavity 24, when the potatoes inside the feed hopper 28 are fed into the feed hopper 28, the potatoes are fed into the feed hopper 28. After the potato falls to the right side of the first push plate 27, the first push plate 27 pushes the potato to the left side of the first cutting blade 25. After passing the first cutting blade 25, the potato is cut horizontally. After the cut potato reaches above the second cutting blade 26, the controller 13 activates the electric push rod 29 to push the second push plate 291 downward, so that the second cutting blade 26 cuts the potato vertically. During the process of the first push plate 27 pushing the potato, the horizontal part of the first push plate 27 will block the outlet of the feed hopper 28, so that the potato cannot continue to enter the cutting cavity 24. Since the multiple groups of potatoes conveyed by the feed hopper 28 can be pushed in an orderly manner by the first push plate 27 after entering the cutting cavity 24, the cutting efficiency of the potato is guaranteed. At the same time, the first push plate 27 can also block the feed hopper 28 after moving, so as to prevent too many potatoes from entering the cutting cavity 24 and causing the cutting cavity 24 to be blocked.
[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the inner and outer sides of the vehicle body 1 are provided with a conveying component 5, and the conveying component 5 includes a rotating groove 51 opened on the right side inside the vehicle body 1.
[0035] A second turntable 52 is fixedly connected to the outside of the right-side rotating rod 11. The second turntable 52 is rotatably connected to the inside of the rotating groove 51. The outer side of the second turntable 52 is provided with a storage groove 53 arranged in a ring array. A discharge pipe 54 is fixedly connected to the right side of the lower end of the vehicle body 1. A shovel 55 is fixedly connected to the right side of the discharge pipe 54.
[0036] The storage groove 53 is connected to the cutting cavity 24 and the discharge pipe 54. The shape of the rotating groove 51 is adapted to the shape of the second turntable 52.
[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, during the movement of the vehicle body 1, the rotating rod 11 fixed by the right roller 12 will drive the second turntable 52 to rotate inside the rotating groove 51. The potatoes separated by the second cutting blade 26 will be collected by the collection groove 53 outside the second turntable 52 after entering the rotating groove 51. As the roller 12 drives the second turntable 52 to rotate, the shovel 55 on the right side of the discharge pipe 54 can shovel the soil on the right side of the discharge pipe 54 and form furrows. When the collection groove 53 containing potato pieces rotates to directly above the discharge pipe 54, the potato pieces will enter the interior of the discharge pipe 54 from the collection groove 53 and finally be sent into the furrow through the discharge pipe 54. Since the roller 12 can drive the second turntable 52 containing potato pieces to rotate during the rotation, the potato pieces in different collection grooves 53 are discharged in an orderly and batch manner and enter the furrow, thereby ensuring the planting efficiency of potato pieces.
[0038] Working principle: Before the potatoes are fed into the feed hopper 28, the controller 13 drives the drive unit to run, and in conjunction with the second connecting rod 23, pushes the first push plate 27. When the potatoes inside the feed hopper 28 fall to the right side of the first push plate 27, if the potatoes pass the first cutting blade 25, they will be cut horizontally. After the cut potatoes reach the top of the second cutting blade 26, the controller 13 activates the electric push rod 29 to push the second push plate 291 downward, so that the second cutting blade 26 cuts the potatoes vertically. During the movement of the vehicle body 1, the rotating rod 11 fixed by the right roller 12 will drive the second turntable 52 to rotate inside the rotating groove 51, so that the potato pieces collected by the collection groove 53 are discharged through the discharge pipe 54.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
