[0002] The plug tray seedling raising technology mainly utilizes plug trays to provide a carrier for seedling raising and sowing. Appropriate amount of bottom soil is placed in each hole of the plug tray, followed by the placement of a suitable amount of seeds, and then the holes are covered with soil. Existing plug tray seedling raising devices often have independently designed and operating sowing and seedling raising equipment, which cannot achieve continuous sowing and seedling raising.

[0003] A seedling planter with prior art publication number CN102960101A includes a frame and a conveying device. The conveying device is located on the top of the frame, and a soil filling device, a hole-making device, a needle-type tray sowing device, a soil covering device, and a watering device are sequentially arranged on the conveying device along the conveying direction. The seedling planter provided by the present invention realizes the actions of tray conveying, soil filling, hole making, sowing, tray filling and soil covering, and watering by the soil filling device, hole-making device, needle-type tray sowing device, soil covering device, and watering device sequentially arranged on the conveying device. This allows the entire seedling sowing operation to be completed on a single work line, thereby effectively improving the work efficiency of seedling sowing.

[0004] The aforementioned prior art provides a seedling sowing method that sequentially completes the actions of tray delivery, bottom soil filling, hole making, sowing, tray covering with soil, and watering, thereby effectively improving the work efficiency of seedling sowing. However, after the bottom soil is filled, the bottom soil on the tray is directly swept flat with a brush without preliminary compaction, making the bottom soil too loose and affecting the fixation of the seedling roots. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the lack of preliminary compaction of the subsoil, which results in excessively loose subsoil affecting the fixation of seedling roots. Therefore, this invention proposes a compaction and scraping mechanism for an automatic seeder.

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

[0007] Design an automatic seeder's compaction and scraping mechanism, including a conveyor belt, a gantry frame fixedly installed on the top of the conveyor belt, a U-shaped frame slidably installed inside the gantry frame via a guide assembly, a compaction roller rotatably installed inside the U-shaped frame, a lifting sleeve covering the cross plate of the U-shaped frame, and the top of the lifting sleeve connected to the gantry frame via a lifting assembly, the lifting assembly being used to lift the sleeve and adjust the distance between the gantry frame;

[0008] The top of the U-shaped frame is provided with an elastic pressing component, which is used to push the U-shaped frame down so that the bottom of the horizontal plate of the U-shaped frame abuts against the lower inner wall of the lifting sleeve.

[0009] Furthermore, a scraper is mounted on the front end face of the U-shaped frame via an adjustment component. The adjustment component is used to adjust the height of the scraper, and the lower half of the scraper is bent and inclined away from the pressing roller.

[0010] Furthermore, the guide assembly includes two pairs of sliding grooves respectively opened on both sides of the U-shaped frame, and a limiting post is slidably installed inside the sliding groove, with the end of the limiting post near the U-shaped frame fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame;

[0011] The limiting post is fixedly connected to a limiting plate at the end away from the U-shaped frame, and the limiting plate is slidably connected to the gantry frame at the end near the U-shaped frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a threaded hole opened on the top of the gantry frame, and a screw is threadedly connected inside the threaded hole. The lower end of the screw passes through and is rotatably connected to the horizontal plate.

[0013] The screw has a pair of limiting rings fixedly connected to its lower outer wall, and the pair of limiting rings are located on the upper and lower sides of the horizontal plate, respectively. The screw has a crank handle fixedly connected to its upper end.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 In one embodiment of this utility model, a compaction and scraping mechanism for an automatic seeder is disclosed, including a conveyor belt 1, a gantry frame 2 fixedly installed on the top of the conveyor belt 1, a U-shaped frame 4 slidably installed inside the gantry frame 2 via a guide assembly 3, a compaction roller 5 rotatably installed inside the U-shaped frame 4, a lifting sleeve 6 being sleeved on the cross plate 41 of the U-shaped frame 4, and the top of the lifting sleeve 6 being connected to the gantry frame 2 via a lifting assembly 7, the lifting assembly 7 being used to lift the sleeve 6 and adjust the distance between the gantry frame 2. Preferably, a horizontal shaft is fixedly installed inside the U-shaped frame 4, and the compaction roller 5 is sleeved on the outer wall of the horizontal shaft.

[0026] The top of the U-shaped frame 4 is provided with an elastic pressing component 8, which is used to push the U-shaped frame 4 down so that the bottom of the horizontal plate 41 of the U-shaped frame 4 abuts against the lower inner wall of the lifting sleeve 6.

[0027] Specifically, a scraper 10 is mounted on the front end face of the U-shaped frame via an adjustment component 9. The adjustment component 9 is used to adjust the height of the scraper 10, and the lower half of the scraper 10 is bent and inclined away from the pressing roller 5.

[0028] The seedling trays covered with soil are transported by conveyor belt 1 and pass through the pressing roller 5. The pressing roller 5 compacts the subsoil covering the seedling trays, and the compacted subsoil is leveled by scraper 10. The elastic pressing component 8 presses down the horizontal plate 41 of the U-shaped frame 4 to keep it in close contact with the lifting sleeve 6, so that the U-shaped frame 4 rises and falls with the lifting sleeve 6. For seedling trays of different heights, the lifting component 7 drives the lifting sleeve 6 to rise and fall, thereby driving the U-shaped frame 4 and the pressing roller 5 inside it to rise and fall to adapt to seedling trays of different heights. At the same time, when there are incompressible hard objects on the seedling trays, subsoil, or conveyor belt, when the hard objects pass through the pressing roller 5 and scraper 10 with the conveyor belt 1, the pressing roller 5 rotates and the lower half of the inclined scraper 10 is subjected to the upward squeezing force of the objects, thereby pushing the elastic pressing component 8 upward to resist the upward thrust and prevent the objects from getting stuck under the pressing roller 5 and causing damage to the pressing roller 5 and the conveyor belt.

[0029] For example, the guide component 3 includes two pairs of sliding grooves 31 respectively opened on both sides of the U-shaped frame 4, and a limiting post 32 is slidably installed inside the sliding groove 31. The end of the limiting post 32 near the U-shaped frame 4 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame 4.

[0030] Wherein, the end of the limiting post 32 away from the U-shaped frame 4 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 33, and the end of the limiting plate 33 near the U-shaped frame 4 is slidably connected to the gantry frame 2. Preferably, the outer sides of the U-shaped frame 4 are provided with threaded holes, and the limiting post 32 is threadedly connected to the inside of the threaded holes. The outer wall of the limiting post 32 is threadedly connected to the limiting plate 33.

[0031] The U-shaped frame 4 can only be raised and lowered vertically by two pairs of limiting posts 32 and two pairs of sliding grooves 31. At the same time, the limiting plate 33, together with the U-shaped frame 4, limits the two ends of the limiting posts 32 to prevent them from disengaging from the sliding grooves 31 or tilting within the sliding grooves 31.

[0032] In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 7 includes a threaded hole 71 opened at the top of the gantry 2, and a screw 72 is threadedly connected inside the threaded hole 71. The lower end of the screw 72 passes through and is rotatably connected to the horizontal plate 41.

[0033] Among them, a pair of limiting rings 73 are fixedly connected to the lower outer wall of the screw 72, and the pair of limiting rings 73 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the horizontal plate 41. A crank handle 74 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the screw 72.

[0034] The screw 72 is raised and lowered by rotating the crank handle 74, and a pair of limit rings 73 are provided to drive the horizontal plate 41 and the U-shaped frame 4 to rise and fall.

[0035] It should be noted that the adjustment component 9 includes a pair of L-shaped plates 91 fixedly installed on the front end face of the U-shaped frame 4, and a scraper 10 is installed on the end face of the pair of L-shaped plates 91 away from the gantry frame 2. A pair of limiting grooves 92 are opened on the end face of the scraper 10 away from the L-shaped plates 91.

[0036] Among them, screws 93 are threadedly connected to the end faces of the L-shaped plates 91 away from the gantry frame 2. The screws 93 are slidably installed in the limiting groove 92. The scraper 10 is clamped between the nut 931 of the screw 93 and the L-shaped plate 91.

[0037] By loosening screw 93, nut 931 moves forward and contacts the scraper 10 for compression. The scraper 10 can then slide up and down to adapt to different heights of the cavities. After adjusting, screw 93 is tightened again, causing nut 931 to move backward and cooperate with L-shaped plate 91 to compress and clamp the scraper 10.

[0038] Furthermore, the elastic pressing component 8 includes a pair of columns 81 fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal plate 41 of the U-shaped frame 4. The upper ends of the pair of columns 81 are movably connected to the gantry frame 2 through the pressure adjusting component 9. The outer walls of the pair of columns 81 are fitted with springs 83, and the two ends of the springs 83 abut against the horizontal plate 41 and the pressure adjusting component 9, respectively.

[0039] The column 81 guides the spring 83 to keep it vertical, and the spring 83 applies downward pressure to press it against the lower inner wall of the lifting sleeve 6. When subjected to upward thrust, the spring 83 can be compressed to make the pressing roller 5, scraper 10, U-shaped frame 4 and column 81 rise, adapting to hard objects of different heights.

[0040] Furthermore, the pressure regulating component 82 includes a second threaded hole 821 opened on the top of the gantry 2. A sleeve 822 is threadedly connected inside the second threaded hole 821. A column 81 is inserted into the inside of the sleeve 822. The lower end of the sleeve 822 abuts against a spring 83. By rotating the sleeve 822, the sleeve 822 is raised and lowered. When the U-shaped frame 4 is raised and lowered, the compression length of the spring 83 remains unchanged by raising and lowering the sleeve 822, thus maintaining constant pressure.

[0041] Working principle: The conveyor belt 1 transports the soil-covered seedling trays through the pressing roller 5, which compacts the soil covering the seedling trays. The scraper 10 then smooths the compacted soil. Spring 83 presses down the horizontal plate 41 of the U-shaped frame 4 to keep it in close contact with the lifting sleeve 6, so that the U-shaped frame 4 rises and falls with the lifting sleeve 6. For seedling trays of different heights, the screw 72 is rotated to drive the lifting sleeve 6 to rise and fall, which in turn drives the U-shaped frame 4 and the pressing roller 5 inside it to rise and fall to adapt to seedling trays of different heights. At the same time, when there are incompressible hard objects on the seedling trays, soil, or conveyor belt, as the hard objects pass through the pressing roller 5 and scraper 10 with the conveyor belt 1, the pressing roller 5 rotates and the lower half of the inclined scraper 10 is subjected to the upward squeezing force of the objects, which pushes up the spring 83 to resist the upward thrust and prevents the objects from getting stuck under the pressing roller 5 and damaging the pressing roller 5 and the conveyor belt.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
