Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lotus root planting tools, and in particular to a seeding device for lotus root planting. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the aquatic vegetable planting industry, lotus root, as a high-value crop, has seen its planting scale continuously expand. Traditional manual sowing methods are inefficient and cannot meet the needs of large-scale planting. There is an urgent need for automated sowing devices to improve planting efficiency and accuracy and reduce the intensity of manual labor. Existing lotus root planting devices have significant shortcomings. Traditional devices mostly consist of a simple hull and a manual feeding mechanism, lacking power transmission components. If lotus seeds are fed manually or with hand tools, the planting depth is difficult to control, and inconsistent seed depth affects the germination rate. The clamping structure is rudimentary, mostly consisting of fixed claws that cannot open and close flexibly, causing the lotus seeds to fall off. The planting precision is low, relying on manual operation, making precise control impossible and resulting in large deviations in the planting position. The float material is not strong enough and is prone to damage after prolonged use, affecting the stability of the device. Therefore, this application designs a lotus root planting device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0013] 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.

[0014] Example: See Figures 1-4This utility model discloses a lotus root planting device, comprising a hull 1, two floats 2 mounted on both sides of the hull 1, and a mounting frame 3 mounted on one end of the hull 1. Two support columns are provided at both ends of the inner side of the mounting frame 3, and a motor 5 is provided on one side of the upper end of the mounting frame 3. A transmission box 6 is installed between the two support columns, and a cylinder 4 passes through the inside of the transmission box 6. A gripper 8 is hinged to the end of the cylinder 4. The hull 1 provides a movable foundation, the floats 2 enhance buoyancy, the mounting frame 3 supports the various components, the motor 5 provides power, the transmission box 6 transmits power, and the cylinder 4 cooperates with the gripper 8 to complete the planting, facilitating automated lotus root planting. A worm gear 10 is rotatably mounted inside the transmission box 6, and the side end of the worm gear 10 rotates... The device is equipped with a worm gear and a worm wheel 10, which are horizontally rotatable and mounted in the transmission box 6. The worm wheel 10 meshes with the worm gear for transmission. The central axis of the worm gear is coaxially fixed to the motor shaft of the motor 5. The motor 5 drives the worm gear to rotate, and the worm gear drives the worm wheel 10 to rotate, transmitting the power of the motor 5 to subsequent components, facilitating precise movement of the cylinder 4 and improving transmission efficiency. The worm wheel 10 has a protruding thread inside, and the cylinder 4 is threadedly connected to the thread inside the worm wheel 10. A guide groove is provided on the outer side of the cylinder 4, and a guide block is provided on the inner side of the transmission box 6. The rotation of the worm wheel 10 drives the cylinder 4 to move through the thread, and the guide block slides along the guide groove to restrict the rotation of the cylinder 4, facilitating stable lifting and lowering of the cylinder 4 and improving the accuracy of seeding depth control.

[0015] In this invention, the lower end of the transmission box 6 is provided with multiple electric push rods 9 at intervals. The end of each electric push rod 9 is fixedly connected to a sliding ring 7. One end of the sliding ring 7 is fixedly connected to a pull rope 11, and the other end of the pull rope 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of the gripper 8. The extension and retraction of the electric push rods 9 drives the sliding ring 7 to move, and the pull rope 11 pulls the gripper 8 to open and close, making it easier to control the gripper 8 to release the lotus seed and improving the ease of operation. Both sides of the upper end of the gripper 8 are fixedly connected to elastic ropes 12, and the other end of the elastic ropes 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the cylinder 4. The elastic ropes 12 generate tension to make the gripper 8 automatically reset and close. In conjunction with the pull ropes 11, the gripper 8 can be opened and closed flexibly, making it easy to firmly hold the lotus seed and prevent the lotus seed from falling. The two floats 2 are made of high molecular weight polyethylene. The high molecular weight polyethylene material gives the floats 2 good corrosion resistance and strength, extends the service life of the floats 2, enhances the stability of the device on the water surface, and adapts to the aquatic environment of lotus root cultivation.

[0016] Working Principle: In use, this invention first installs a battery to power the electrical components and a control console to operate the device, ensuring that electrical components such as the motor 5 and electric actuator 9 can be operated via the console. Then, the entire device is placed in the lotus root planting area. The hull 1 serves as a mobile base, while the two floats 2 on either side of the hull 1 (made of high-molecular-weight polyethylene, possessing good corrosion resistance and strength) enhance the overall buoyancy of the device, allowing it to float stably on the water surface and adapt to the planting environment. Next, the lotus seeds to be planted are placed on the hull 1. The internal components facilitate subsequent retrieval. When powered on, the operator places the lotus seed into the clamp 8 hinged at the end of the cylinder 4. The elastic ropes 12 fixed to both sides of the upper end of the clamp 8 (the other end fixed to the lower end of the cylinder 4) generate tension, causing the clamp 8 to automatically reset and close, thus securely holding the lotus seed and preventing it from falling during movement. Then, the motor 5 on one side of the upper end of the mounting frame 3 is started. The motor shaft of motor 5 drives the worm gear (located inside the transmission box 6 and meshing with the worm wheel 10) fixed to it on the same axis to rotate. The worm gear meshes with the worm wheel 10 (horizontally rotated and mounted in the transmission box 6) for transmission, thereby... The worm gear 10 is rotated. Since the worm gear 10 has a protruding thread, and the cylinder 4 is threadedly connected to the thread inside the worm gear 10, and a guide groove is provided on the outer side of the cylinder 4, while a guide block is provided on the inner side of the transmission box 6, the rotation of the worm gear 10 will drive the cylinder 4 to move downwards along the direction of the guide block and guide groove via the thread, achieving precise descent of the cylinder 4 and controlling the seeding depth. When the lower end of the cylinder 4 approaches the bottom of the water, the electric actuators 9 spaced apart at the lower end of the transmission box 6 are retracted via the control console. The sliding ring 7 fixed to the end of the electric actuator 9 will move upwards accordingly. A pull rope fixed to one end of the sliding ring 7... 11 (the other end of which is fixed to the outside of the gripper 8) is pulled, causing the gripper 8 to open, and the lotus seed falls from the gripper 8 into the water to complete the sowing. After sowing, the control motor 5 reverses, the worm gear drives the worm wheel 10 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the cylinder 4 moves upward and resets under the action of thread transmission and guidance. At the same time, the electric push rod 9 extends, the sliding ring 7 moves downward, the tension of the pull rope 11 disappears, and the gripper 8 resets and closes under the action of the elastic rope 12. After that, the boat 1 is moved to the next sowing position, and the above steps are repeated to perform the sowing operation. After all the sowing work is completed, the power of the control console is turned off, and the use of the device is ended.

[0017] 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.
