[0002] In agricultural planting, chili peppers are an important cash crop, and the digging of planting holes is crucial in the process. Currently, most chili pepper planting hole digging is still done manually. This traditional manual digging method has many drawbacks: First, manual digging is extremely inefficient, requiring growers to expend a lot of time and energy, making it difficult to meet the needs of efficient planting in large-scale planting and seriously affecting the planting progress; second, the labor cost is too high, and with the continuous rise in labor costs, manual digging undoubtedly increases the production cost of chili pepper planting; third, manual digging makes it difficult to ensure that the depth and spacing of the holes are consistent, which leads to uneven growth of chili pepper plants, affecting the overall yield and quality of chili peppers; in addition, manual digging is greatly affected by weather and terrain, and the difficulty of operation increases significantly in bad weather or complex terrain, sometimes even making it impossible to carry out the work normally. With the development of agricultural modernization, the requirements for automation, efficiency, and precision in chili pepper planting hole digging are becoming increasingly higher. The existing manual digging method, due to its low degree of automation, can no longer meet the needs of modern agricultural production.

[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. 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.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a chili planting hole digging device, including a shell 1, which is a cylindrical structure with a sealed top and an open bottom. The shell 1 has a movable plate 4 that can slide along its axial direction inside. A rotating shaft 5 is rotatably installed at the center of the movable plate 4. A spiral blade 6 is installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5. A drive motor 7 that drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate is installed on the top surface of the movable plate 4. An electric push rod 10 that pushes the movable plate 4 to slide along the inside of the shell 1 is also installed on the inner top wall of the shell 1. A soil discharge port 3 is opened on the side wall of the shell 1.
[0023] Specifically, in use, the electric push rod 10 is activated by the control switch 12. The electric push rod 10 pushes the movable plate 4 to slide downwards along the axis of the outer shell 1, pressing the bottom of the outer shell 1 against the planting ground. Then, the drive motor 7 is activated, which drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate. The spiral blades 6 on the rotating shaft 5 rotate accordingly, starting to cut and mix the soil. The broken soil is transported upwards under the action of the spiral blades 6 and discharged from the outer shell 1 through the discharge port 3. Compared with manual digging, this device achieves automated digging. The electric push rod 10 and the drive motor 7 work together to greatly improve digging efficiency; it does not require a lot of manpower, reducing labor costs; the digging depth can be precisely controlled by controlling the stroke of the electric push rod 10, and the spiral blades 6 and other structures also help to ensure the standardization of digging, thus making the pepper plants grow more uniformly and improving the overall yield and quality; at the same time, it reduces the dependence on manpower and is relatively less affected by weather and terrain factors.
[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the drive motor 7 is installed on the top surface of the movable plate 4, and the drive end of the drive motor 7 is fixedly connected to the top end of the rotating shaft 5.
[0025] Specifically, the drive motor 7 is installed on the top surface of the movable plate 4, and the drive end is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 5. When the drive motor 7 is powered on, its drive end directly drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, and the power is stably transmitted to the rotating shaft 5, thereby driving the spiral blade 6 to rotate.
[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the spiral blade 6 is spirally arranged on the rotating shaft 5, and the outer ring of the spiral blade 6 is in contact with the inner wall of the outer shell 1.
[0027] Specifically, the spiral blades 6 are spirally arranged on the rotating shaft 5, and the outer ring is in contact with the inner wall of the outer shell 1. When the rotating shaft 5 rotates, the spiral blades 6 can fully contact the soil and transport the cut and crushed soil upward along the spiral direction until it is discharged from the discharge port 3.
[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, multiple soil discharge ports 3 are provided, and the multiple soil discharge ports 3 are distributed at equal intervals along the outer peripheral wall of the outer shell 1.
[0029] Specifically, multiple soil discharge ports 3 are equidistantly distributed along the outer perimeter of the outer shell 1. When the spiral blades 6 transport the soil upward, the soil can be quickly discharged from the multiple soil discharge ports 3, thus dispersing the soil.
[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a mounting base 9 extending along its axial direction is installed on the inner wall of the outer shell 1, and an electric push rod 10 is installed on the bottom surface of the mounting base 9. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 10 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the movable plate 4.
[0031] Specifically, the mounting base 9 on the inner wall of the outer shell 1 provides an installation position for the electric push rod 10. The electric push rod 10 is installed on the bottom surface of the mounting base 9, and its telescopic end is fixedly connected to the top surface of the movable plate 4. When the electric push rod 10 extends or retracts, it can drive the movable plate 4 to slide axially inside the outer shell 1, thereby realizing the downward pressing and upward lifting action of the outer shell 1.
[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a storage battery 8 is installed on the inner top wall of the outer casing 1, and a control switch 12 is installed on the top wall of the outer casing 1. The drive motor 7, the electric push rod 10, and the control switch 12 are all electrically connected to the storage battery 8.
[0033] Specifically, the storage battery 8 is installed on the inner top wall of the outer casing 1 to provide power to the drive motor 7, the electric push rod 10, and the control switch 12. The control switch 12 is installed on the top wall of the outer casing 1, and the operator controls the start and stop of the drive motor 7 and the electric push rod 10 through the control switch 12. The power supply of the storage battery 8 frees the device from dependence on external power, making it easy to move and use flexibly in the field and improving the applicability of the device. The setting of the control switch 12 makes it convenient for the operator to operate, making the digging process more convenient and reducing the difficulty of operation.
[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a handle 11 is installed on the outer wall of the outer shell 1, and there are two handles 11 arranged symmetrically.
[0035] Specifically, two handles 11 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the outer casing 1 to facilitate the operator's hand holding of the device and provide a gripping point when the mobile device is performing digging operations.
[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, an expansion plate 2 is installed at the bottom of the outer shell 1, and the expansion plate 2 extends radially along the outer shell 1.
[0037] Specifically, the expansion plate 2 at the bottom of the outer shell 1 extends radially along the outer shell 1. When the device presses down to dig a pit, the expansion plate 2 contacts the ground, increasing the contact area between the device and the ground. The increased contact area of the expansion plate 2 makes the device more stable during the digging process, preventing the device from tilting or shaking during the digging process, and ensuring that the depth and shape of the pit meet the requirements. At the same time, it can also disperse the pressure of the device on the ground, reduce the damage of the device to the ground, and protect the soil structure.
[0038] Working principle: The operator holds the handles 11 symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the outer casing 1 and moves the chili planting hole-digging device to the target planting area. Then, the operator presses the control switch 12 on the top wall of the outer casing 1. The battery 8 installed on the inner top wall of the outer casing 1 powers the device and activates the electric push rod 10 installed on the bottom surface of the mounting base 9 on the inner wall of the outer casing 1. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 10 pushes the movable plate 4 to slide downward along the axial direction of the outer casing 1, so that the expansion plate 2 at the bottom of the outer casing 1 contacts the ground and presses down, fixing the outer casing 1 at the predetermined hole-digging position.
[0039] Next, the control switch 12 is operated again to start the drive motor 7 installed on the top surface of the movable plate 4. The drive end of the drive motor 7 drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, and the spiral blades 6 arranged in a spiral on the rotating shaft 5 with their outer ring attached to the inner wall of the outer shell 1 rotate accordingly. The spiral blades 6 begin to cut and mix the soil, breaking it up and conveying it upwards along the spiral direction. The broken soil is discharged outside the outer shell 1 through multiple discharge ports 3 evenly distributed along the outer perimeter of the side wall of the outer shell 1. During the digging process, the downward movement distance of the movable plate 4 can be precisely controlled by controlling the extension and retraction stroke of the electric push rod 10, thereby controlling the digging depth. After digging the pit, the electric push rod 10 is operated in reverse to retract it, driving the movable plate 4 and the spiral blades 6 upwards, removing the device from the pit, and the next digging operation can begin.
