Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural machinery, specifically relating to a four-seedling cup delivery device for a single-row transplanter. Background Technology

[0002] Chili peppers are an important vegetable and condiment in my country, with a large planting area, high yield, and a long industrial chain. With the development of agricultural modernization, improving the mechanization level of chili pepper cultivation has become an inevitable trend. Currently, chili pepper transplanting mainly relies on manual labor, which suffers from problems such as high labor intensity, low efficiency, and inconsistent plant and row spacing. Furthermore, existing transplanting machines are mostly large-scale equipment, costly, and unsuitable for ordinary farmers.

[0003] Currently, there are two main types of chili transplanters on the market: one is a multi-row chili transplanter, which is suitable for large-area flat operations, and the other is a single-seedling cup single-row transplanter. However, the single-seedling cup transplanter has lower efficiency, and its work efficiency is limited by the speed of manual seedling feeding, resulting in high labor intensity, etc.

[0004] To reduce the labor intensity of farmers and increase the speed of manual seedling feeding, it is necessary to design a seedling feeding device for a single-row chili transplanter that can manually feed seedlings into multiple seedling cups. The seedlings can be manually placed into four seedling cups at will, and the feeding rate does not need to be equal to the transplanting rate, thus reducing the labor intensity of workers. Moreover, the structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is low. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a four-sapling-cup delivery device for a single-row transplanter. This device, installed on the single-row transplanter, enables asynchronous manual seedling feeding and mechanical seedling delivery, facilitating subsequent seedling placement. This equipment solves the problems of low efficiency and high labor intensity associated with current single-sapling-cup single-row transplanters, where the manual seedling feeding speed must be synchronized with the mechanical seedling delivery frequency.

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

[0007] A single-row transplanter with four seedling cups includes a frame 1, a transmission module 2 and a seedling cup module 3 mounted on the frame 1. The frame 1 includes an upper base plate 1-1, a lower base plate 1-2, a support rod 1-3, and a middle plate 1-4. The lower base plate 1-2 and the support rod 1-3 are connected by a bearing 1-2-2. The upper base plate 1-1 and the support rod 1-3 are fixedly connected by a first bolt 1-3-1. The middle plate 1-4 is welded to the support rod 1-3. The lower base plate 1-2 has a slot 1-2-1 on its outer side.

[0008] Furthermore, the transmission module 2 is keyed to the support rod 1-3 by a gear 2-1 and fixed with a washer 2-2 and a second bolt 2-3. The rotation of the gear 2-1 drives the support rod 1-3, the upper base plate 1-1, and the seedling cup module 3 to rotate.

[0009] Furthermore, the seedling cup module 3 includes a seedling cup 3-1, a seedling cup base plate 3-2, a pin 3-3, a cotter pin 3-4, and a retaining spring 3-5. The seedling cup 3-1 and the seedling cup base plate 3-2 are hinged together by the pin 3-3, which is locked to the cotter pin 3-4. The retaining spring 3-5 is mounted on the pin 3-3, and under the action of the retaining spring 3-5 without resistance, the seedling cup 3-1 is in an open state.

[0010] Furthermore, the seedling cups 3-1 of the seedling cup module 3 are evenly distributed on the upper bottom plate 1-1 and the middle plate 1-4. When the seedling cup module 3 reaches the slot 1-2-1, the bottom plate 3-2 of the seedling cup opens, and the chili seedling is delivered. As the seedling cup module 3 passes through the slot 1-2-1, the bottom plate 3-2 closes at the edge of the slot 1-2-1 with resistance. At the same time, the next seedling cup 3-1 arrives at the slot 1-2-1 in sequence and opens the bottom plate 3-2 without resistance. This achieves a seedling delivery rate that is not equal to that of manual seedling delivery, reducing the workload.

[0011] At work,

[0012] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, this utility model discloses a four-seedling cup delivery device for a single-row transplanter. This device can be installed on a chili transplanter. When transplanting chili peppers, the power source is transmitted to the gear 2-1 of the power transmission module 2, which drives the transmission module 2 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the upper base plate 1-1, the middle plate 1-4, and the seedling cup module 3 installed on the support rod 1-3 to rotate. When the rotation reaches the slot 1-2-1 position of the lower base plate 1-2, the seedling cup bottom plate 3-2 opens, and the chili pepper seedling is delivered. When the seedling cup module 3 passes the slot 1-2-1 position, the seedling cup bottom plate 3-2 closes, and the chili pepper seedling can be placed manually in the four seedling cups 3-1, thereby achieving the effect that the manual seedling delivery rate is inconsistent with the mechanical seedling delivery rate. The device has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can reduce the labor efficiency of workers, solve the problem of increased manual labor caused by the requirement that the rates of manual seedling placement and mechanical seedling delivery must be consistent, and eliminate the time interval between seedling delivery and placement. It enables the seedling delivery operation of multi-seedling cup pepper transplanters and improves seedling delivery efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0022] This utility model embodiment discloses a four-seedling cup delivery device for a single-row transplanter. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the seedling delivery device in this example.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the seedling delivery device in this embodiment includes a frame 1; a transmission module 2; and a seedling cup module 3.

[0024] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the frame 1 includes an upper base plate 1-1, a lower base plate 1-2, a support rod 1-3, and an intermediate plate 1-4. The upper base plate 1-1 and the support rod 1-3 are fixedly connected by a first bolt 1-3-1. The intermediate plate 1-4 is welded to the support rod 1-3. The lower base plate 1-2 has a slot 1-2-1 on its outer side.

[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, the transmission module 2 includes a gear 2-1, a washer 2-2, and a second bolt 2-3. The gear 2-1 is keyed to the support rod 1-3 and fixed with the washer 2-2 and the second bolt 2-3.

[0026] like Figure 6 As shown, the seedling cup module 3 includes a seedling cup 3-1, a seedling cup base plate 3-2, a pin 3-3, a cotter pin 3-4, and a retaining spring 3-5. The seedling cup 3-1 and the seedling cup base plate 3-2 are hinged together by the pin 3-3. The pin 3-3 is locked to the cotter pin 3-4. The retaining spring 3-5 is mounted on the pin 3-3. Under the action of the retaining spring 3-5 without resistance, the seedling cup 3-1 is in the open state.

[0027] like Figure 1 Figure 3 As shown, the seedling cups 3-1 of the seedling cup module 3 are evenly distributed on the upper bottom plate 1-1 and the middle plate 1-4. When the seedling cup module 3 reaches the slot 1-2-1, the bottom plate 3-2 of the seedling cup opens, and the chili seedling is delivered. As the seedling cup module 3 passes through the slot 1-2-1, the bottom plate 3-2 closes at the edge of the slot 1-2-1 with resistance. At the same time, the next seedling cup 3-1 arrives at the slot 1-2-1 in sequence and opens the bottom plate 3-2 without resistance. This achieves a seedling delivery rate that is not equal to that of manual seedling delivery, reducing the workload.
