[0002] With the development of modern agricultural technology, potatoes, as an important food and cash crop, are receiving increasing attention for their planting efficiency and quality. Currently, in vast rural areas, especially in small-scale farmland, hilly or mountainous regions where mechanization is limited, potato cultivation still mainly relies on manual labor.

[0003] Traditional planting methods typically involve manual digging of holes, throwing of seed potatoes, and covering with soil. This process is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but the planting quality is also greatly affected by the worker's skill level and physical condition. It is also prone to inconsistent planting depth, resulting in uneven seedling emergence in the field. This not only creates difficulties for subsequent field management such as irrigation, fertilization, weeding, and pest and disease control, but also affects the final yield and economic benefits of potatoes.

[0019] 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.

[0020] Example: Reference Figures 1-4 A manual potato planter includes a tube body 1 and a digging head 2 fixedly connected to the end of the tube body 1. The digging head 2 is a tubular structure with a cutting edge at one end to improve the sharpness of the digging head 2 in breaking the soil, so as to dig holes. A foot pedal 6 is fixedly connected to the tube body 1, and the top surface of the foot pedal 6 is rough to facilitate farmers to apply force to insert the digging head 2 into the soil. A push plate 3 is provided inside the digging head 2, and a pressing component is provided on the tube body 1 to drive the push plate 3 to slide inside the digging head 2. A positioning plate 4 is sleeved on the digging head 2. The digging head 2 is provided with an adjusting component, which is used to drive the positioning plate 4 to rise and fall along the axis of the digging head 2. Here, the digging head 2 is provided with scale lines 5, which can be used by farmers to precisely adjust the position of the positioning plate 4.

[0021] Specifically, the combination of pipe body 1 and digging head 2 effectively reduces the labor intensity of farmers, allowing them to complete digging, planting, and covering with soil in one go, achieving efficient potato planting. The pressing component facilitates compacting the soil in digging head 2 during digging, ensuring stable soil removal. It also facilitates pushing the soil in digging head 2 into the planting pit during covering, improving potato planting efficiency. The positioning plate 4 positions the digging depth of digging head 2, ensuring consistent potato planting depth, resulting in relatively uniform seedling emergence in the field for easier management, and ultimately improving potato yield and economic benefits.

[0022] Of course, in other embodiments, the pressing component includes a sliding plate 32 slidably connected inside the tube body 1. A vertical rod 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the sliding plate 32, and one end of the vertical rod 31 slides into the pit head 2 and is fixedly connected to the push plate 3. A guide rod 33 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the sliding plate 32. The axial cross-section of the guide rod 33 is designed with rounded corners to guide the guide rod 33 so that it moves longitudinally along the vertical rod 31, thereby improving its stability. One end of the guide rod 33 slides out of the tube body 1 and is fixedly connected to a pressure handle 35. A spring 34 is sleeved on the guide rod 33. The two ends of the spring 34 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the sliding plate 32 and the top of the inner wall of the tube body 1, respectively.

[0023] Specifically, during use, by pressing the handle 35, the guide rod 33 and the slide plate 32 are driven to move downwards, the spring 34 is stretched, and at the same time the slide plate 32 also drives the vertical rod 31 and the push plate 3 to move downwards synchronously. This makes it easy to press the soil in the hole head 2 firmly when digging the hole, ensuring that the soil can be removed stably. It also makes it easy to push the soil in the hole head 2 into the planting hole when covering the soil, thereby achieving efficient potato planting.

[0024] In addition, when the pressure handle 35 is released, the spring force of the spring 34 can quickly reset the pressure handle 35 and the push plate 3 upwards for subsequent use.

[0025] The adjusting component includes a support plate 41 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pit head 2, a screw 42 threadedly connected to the support plate 41, one end of the screw 42 being rotatably connected to the positioning plate 4, and the other end of the screw 42 being fixedly connected to a knob 43.

[0026] Specifically, by rotating the knob 43 and driving the screw 42 to rotate, the screw 42 can move the positioning plate 4 up and down along the digging head 2 under the action of the thread. This makes it easy to adjust the position of the positioning plate 4, which can effectively adapt to different soil conditions, climate environment and the growth needs of different potato varieties, thereby optimizing the planting effect and achieving stable potato yield and quality improvement.

[0027] In this invention, when in use, by applying pressure to the tube body 1, the digging head 2 is inserted into the soil. Then, the tube body 1 is lifted, and the soil can be removed through the digging head 2 to achieve rapid digging. Farmers can then drop the seed potatoes into the pit. Next, the pressure handle 35 is pressed, which drives the guide rod 33 and the slide plate 32 to move downward. The spring 34 is stretched, and at the same time, the slide plate 32 also drives the vertical rod 31 and the push plate 3 to move downward synchronously. This pushes the soil removed from the digging head 2 into the planting pit and completes the covering. This effectively reduces the labor intensity of farmers, allowing them to complete digging, planting, and covering in one go, achieving efficient potato planting. Before continuous planting, the pressure handle 35 can be released, and under the elastic force of the spring 34, the pressure handle 35 and the push plate 3 can be reset upward for reuse. In addition, during use, the positioning plate 4 can be used to position the digging depth of the digging head 2, ensuring that the planting depth of potatoes is consistent, making the seedlings in the field relatively uniform for easier management, which helps to improve the final yield and economic benefits of potatoes.

[0028] Furthermore, during use, by rotating the knob 43 and driving the screw 42 to rotate, the screw 42 can move the positioning plate 4 up and down along the digging head 2 under the action of the thread. This makes it easy to adjust the position of the positioning plate 4, which can effectively adapt to various terrains, soil conditions, climate environments and the growth needs of different potato varieties. This is conducive to optimizing planting results and achieving stable potato yield and quality improvement.

[0029] On the other hand, during the digging process, the usage method can be flexibly adjusted according to the soil conditions and the actual site conditions. For example, when the digging head 2 is pressed into the soil, the pressure handle 35 can be pressed to make the push plate 3 squeeze the soil in the digging head 2 downwards, which can make it easier to press the soil in the digging head 2 firmly during digging and ensure that the soil is stably removed.

[0030] Components not described in detail in this article are existing technologies.
