Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice cultivation technology, and in particular to an automatic rice seedling tray placement machine. Background Technology

[0002] Rice, commonly known as paddy rice, is an annual aquatic herb of the Poaceae family. When raising rice seedlings, rice seeds need to be cultivated in seedling trays. Workers first send empty seedling trays one by one into the seedling machine, which then spreads the potting soil and seeds evenly into the seedling trays. Finally, the seedling trays with seeds sown and covered with soil are output.

[0003] Currently, the rice seedling tray placement process mainly relies on manual operation. Workers need to separate the stacked empty seedling trays one by one and manually place them onto the conveyor belt. Due to the positioning deviation caused by manual placement, the horizontal and vertical errors generally reach 5-10mm, resulting in the seedling trays not being aligned evenly on the conveyor line. This deviation will directly affect the quality of subsequent operations such as laying the bottom soil, precision sowing, and covering the soil, causing problems such as missed sowing and double sowing, and ultimately affecting the uniformity of seedling picking and the quality of seedlings during machine transplanting. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to propose an automatic rice seedling tray placement machine. This utility model uses a tray separating component to evenly and reliably separate stacks of seedling trays one by one, eliminating the need for manual tray breaking. The tray supply operation is continuous and uninterrupted. Furthermore, the limiting component ensures that each seedling tray is accurately positioned, allowing subsequent soil spreading, sowing, and machine transplanting to be completed in one go, preventing missed sowing and double sowing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an automatic rice seedling tray placement machine, including a support frame, support blocks, support components, and tray-separating components, wherein the support blocks are disposed on both sides above the support frame via the support components.

[0007] The dividing plate assembly is disposed on the support block. The dividing plate assembly includes a roller, a support plate, a separating block, a drive assembly, and a limiting assembly. The roller is disposed at the front and rear of one side of the two support blocks that are close to each other. The support plate is disposed on the roller. The separating block is disposed on the roller. The drive assembly is disposed on the support block.

[0008] The limiting component is disposed on the support block.

[0009] In addition, the automatic rice seedling tray placement machine proposed above according to this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0010] Specifically, the support assembly includes a support base and an adjustment mechanism, wherein the support base is disposed on both sides of the upper end of the support frame, and the adjustment mechanism is disposed inside the support base.

[0011] Specifically, the limiting component includes a first limiting rod and a second limiting rod, wherein the first limiting rod is disposed on one side of the two support blocks that are close to each other, and the second limiting rod is disposed on the front and rear sides of the support blocks.

[0012] Specifically, a conveyor belt is provided at the upper end of the support frame.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: The automatic rice seedling tray placement machine of this utility model drives the roller to rotate through the drive component. The roller drives the support plate and the separating block to move in a circular motion, separating the stack of seedling trays one by one. It no longer relies on manual tray breaking. The tray supply operation is continuous and uninterrupted. When the seedling trays are separated, the position of the seedling trays is maintained by the limiting component to prevent them from shifting in the horizontal and vertical directions. This ensures that each seedling tray falls smoothly into the conveyor belt in a uniform posture. The conveyor belt continuously and evenly transports the separated individual seedling trays backward. Subsequent soil spreading, sowing, and machine transplanting are completed in one go, preventing missed sowing and double sowing.

[0014] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Rather, the embodiments of the present invention include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0022] The automatic rice seedling tray placement machine of this utility model embodiment will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the automatic rice seedling tray placement machine of this utility model embodiment may include a support frame 1, a support block 2, a support component 3, and a tray distribution component 4.

[0024] Among them, the support block 2 is set on both sides above the support frame 1 by the support component 3, and the disc component 4 is set on the support block 2.

[0025] The dividing assembly 4 includes a roller 41, a support plate 42, a separating block 43, a drive assembly 44, and a limiting assembly 45.

[0026] Among them, the roller 41 is disposed on the front and rear parts of the two support blocks 2 close to each other, the support plate 42 is disposed on the roller 41, the separation block 43 is disposed on the roller 41, and the drive assembly 44 is disposed on the support block 2.

[0027] The limiting component 45 is mounted on the support block 2.

[0028] Specifically, the support frame 1 is used to support the entire device.

[0029] In this embodiment, the support frame 1 can be fixed to the ground by installing adjustable feet or casters at the bottom, ensuring that the whole machine is stable and does not shake during high-speed plate-swinging, while facilitating overall relocation and on-site layout adjustment.

[0030] The support block 2 is used to support and position the disc assembly 4. It is symmetrically arranged on both sides above the support frame 1 to form a support. The support block 2 can be installed movably through the support assembly 3.

[0031] The separator assembly 4 is mounted on the support block 2. The separator assembly 4 includes a roller 41, a support plate 42, a separator block 43, a drive assembly 44, and a limiting assembly 45.

[0032] Four rollers 41 are installed at the front and rear of the two support blocks 2 on one side of each other, and the circular motion is transmitted through the vertically arranged rollers 41.

[0033] The support plate 42 is fixed to the outer periphery of the roller 41 and forms a support surface that can support the bottom of the seedling tray as the roller 41 rotates, preventing the entire stack of seedling trays from falling freely.

[0034] The separating block 43 is arranged in a circle around the outside of the roller 41. Its upper end is a horizontal cutting edge, which can be accurately inserted between the bottom and second bottom seedling trays. The lower end extends downward in a spiral to form a progressive guide slope. When the roller 41 rotates, the horizontal cutting edge completes the separation first, and the spiral guide slope then supports and guides the bottom seedling tray to be released smoothly and without impact along the tangential direction, ensuring single-sheet separation, continuous and smooth, and no tray jamming.

[0035] The drive assembly 44 is installed outside the support block 2. Its output shaft is rigidly connected to four rollers 41, so that the four rollers 41 rotate at the same speed, thereby maintaining the disc division rhythm and the rear conveyor belt 5 in precise synchronization.

[0036] The limiting component 45 is installed on the inner side and front and rear ends of the support block 2 to form a horizontal and vertical limiting channel, so that the single seedling trays maintain consistent positions during separation and falling, achieving precise tray placement.

[0037] It should be noted that, driven by the drive component 44, the four rollers 41 rotate synchronously and at a uniform speed, so that the separating blocks 43 are inserted into the gaps of the seedling trays in a fixed cycle, achieving a stable rhythm of "one sheet and one drop". This not only avoids the intermittent pauses of manual tray separation, but also ensures seamless connection with the rear conveyor belt 5, soil spreading and sowing. It no longer relies on manual tray breaking, and the tray supply operation is continuous and uninterrupted.

[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the support assembly 3 includes a support base 31 and an adjustment mechanism 32. The support base 31 is installed on both sides of the upper end of the support frame 1, and the adjustment mechanism 32 is installed inside the support base 31.

[0039] It should be noted that, as described in this embodiment, the support base 31 is used to support the support block 2.

[0040] The adjustment mechanism 32 is installed inside the support base 31 to adjust the distance and height between the two support blocks 2.

[0041] In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 32 can be a servo motor and a ball screw linear module, which simultaneously drives the two side support blocks 2 to achieve stepless and synchronous adjustment of the lateral spacing and height.

[0042] It should be noted that in the above embodiment, after the position of the support block 2 is controlled by the adjustment mechanism 32 according to the width of the seedling tray, the support blocks 2 on both sides can be locked at the required spacing, ensuring that the roller 41, the separating block 43 and the limiting component 45 move laterally as a whole and maintain precise cooperation with the edge of the seedling tray. At the same time, the adjustment mechanism 32 still retains the lifting function, and can independently fine-tune the height without readjusting the lateral position, so as to realize the quick switching between adjusting the width once and adjusting the height at any time.

[0043] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the limiting assembly 45 includes a first limiting rod 451 and a second limiting rod 452. The first limiting rod 451 is installed on one side of the two support blocks 2 that are close to each other, and the second limiting rod 452 is installed on the front and rear sides of the support blocks 2.

[0044] It should be noted that the first limiting rod 451 described in this embodiment is fixedly connected to the side of the two support blocks 2 that are close to each other, and together with the roller 41, it forms a rigid lateral guard, which always constrains the left and right position of the seedling tray and prevents it from moving laterally.

[0045] The second limiting rod 452 described in this embodiment can be installed on the front and rear sides of the support block 2 through a sliding groove. After the second limiting rod 452 is adjusted, it can be locked by rotating the bolt. It can quickly adjust the front and rear positions according to the length of the seedling tray to achieve longitudinal limiting and ensure that the separated single seedling tray remains aligned front and back when it falls into the conveyor belt 5.

[0046] It should be noted that in the above embodiment, after adjusting the second limiting rod 452 according to the length of the seedling tray, its position can be immediately locked by tightening the bolt, so that the longitudinal distance between the front and rear remains unchanged. This ensures that all subsequent seedling trays are separated with the same length reference and fall accurately into the conveyor belt 5, preventing misalignment.

[0047] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, a conveyor belt 5 is installed at the upper end of the support frame 1, located directly below the disc assembly 4, with its belt surface flush with the lowest outlet of the separation block 43.

[0048] In summary, the automatic rice seedling tray placement machine of this utility model drives the roller to rotate through the drive component. The roller drives the support plate and the separating block to move in a circular motion, separating the stacked seedling trays one by one. It no longer relies on manual tray breaking. The tray supply operation is continuous and uninterrupted. When the seedling trays are separated, the position of the seedling trays is maintained by the limiting component to prevent them from shifting in the lateral and longitudinal directions. This ensures that each seedling tray falls smoothly into the conveyor belt in a uniform posture. The conveyor belt continuously and evenly transports the separated individual seedling trays backward. Subsequent soil spreading, sowing, and machine transplanting are all done in one go, preventing missed sowing and double sowing.
