Description

A garlic planter Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically to a garlic planter. Background Technology

[0002] In garlic cultivation, traditional sowing methods are often inefficient. Sowing followed by mulching not only increases labor intensity and time costs but may also lead to poor mulching results due to inconsistent operations. Furthermore, in seeders with integrated mulching functions, the film is prone to being lifted by the sowing mechanism during planting, affecting the stability of the mulch. Additionally, the position of the sowing mechanism in existing seeders is not fixed when planting stops; if it is at the lowest limit position, it hinders the movement of the seeder. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a garlic planter.

[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

The mounting frame, arranged sequentially from the furthest point from the planter body to the closest point, includes a soil-opening disc, a pressure roller, a film frame, a pressure wheel, and a soil-returning disc. The planting mechanism is mounted to the bottom of a lifting frame via a first cylinder. The top of the lifting frame is hinged to a drive rod, which is connected to a main shaft. A protrusion is provided on the main shaft, and a proximity sensor corresponding to the protrusion's position is installed at the protrusion. When the protrusion is at the proximity sensor, the planting mechanism is at its maximum stroke. A film-pressing frame is connected to the bottom of the planting mechanism via a second cylinder, and the film-pressing frame has an opening that mates with the planting nozzle.

[0006] Preferably, the soil-opening plate and the soil-returning plate are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting frame, and the soil-opening plate and the soil-returning plate are both installed on the mounting rod by screws, and the mounting rod is installed on the mounting frame.

Therefore, the exemplary term “down” can encompass both up and down orientations.

[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0028] The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings: A garlic planter of the present invention includes a planter body 1. A sowing mechanism 12 is provided at the rear end of the planter body 1. A mounting frame 4 is provided at the front end of the planter body 1. The mounting frame 4 is provided with, from the furthest point from the planter body 1 to the closest point, a soil-opening disc 5, a pressure roller 9, a film frame 10, a pressure wheel 11, and a soil-returning disc 6. During operation, the soil-opening disc 5 first separates the soil, then the pressure roller 9 flattens the soil, and then the film frame 10 rotates in conjunction with the pressure wheel 11 to cover the film. Finally, the soil-returning disc 6 pushes the soil back to press down both ends of the film. The sowing mechanism 12 is mounted on the bottom end of a lifting frame 13 via a first cylinder 14, which acts as a buffer for the sowing mechanism 12. The top end of the lifting frame 13 is hinged to a drive rod 15, which is keyed to a main shaft 16. The main shaft 16 is connected to a chain... The transmission is connected to the clutch of the engine of the seeder body 1, so that the rotation of the main shaft 16 drives the sowing mechanism 12 to move up and down. The main shaft 16 is provided with a protrusion 17, and a proximity sensor 18 is provided at the protrusion 17 to cooperate with the position of the protrusion 17. When the protrusion 17 is located at the proximity sensor 18, the sowing mechanism 12 is at its highest stroke. The bottom of the sowing mechanism 12 is connected to a film pressing frame 19 through a second cylinder 21. The film pressing frame 19 has an opening 20 that cooperates with the sowing beak. When the sowing mechanism 12 moves downward, the film pressing frame 19 first contacts the ground. As the sowing mechanism 12 continues to move downward, the piston rod of the second cylinder 21 retracts, so that the sowing beak passes through the opening 20 of the film pressing frame 19 for sowing. When the sowing mechanism 12 rises, the piston rod of the second cylinder 21 extends, thereby pushing down the film stuck on the sowing beak.

[0029] The soil-opening plate 5 and the soil-returning plate 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting frame 4. The soil-opening plate 5 and the soil-returning plate 6 are both installed on the mounting rod 8 by screws 7. The mounting rod 8 is installed on the mounting frame 4. The position of the soil-opening plate 5 and the soil-returning plate 6 can be adjusted by rotating the screws 7. The two soil-returning plates 6 are inclined inward to facilitate soil return.

[0030] The pressure roller 9 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 4; the film frame 10 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting frame 4, and the film frame 10 is mounted with wound film; the pressure roller 11 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting frame 4, and the pressure roller 11 is provided with a pressure roller 11 frame. One end of the pressure roller 11 frame is hinged to the mounting base 22, and the other end of the pressure roller 11 frame is hinged to the piston rod of the third cylinder. The third cylinder is hinged to the mounting base 22, and the height of the pressure roller 11 can be adjusted by the third cylinder.

[0031] The piston rod of the second cylinder 21 is provided with a mounting seat 22. The two ends of the pressure film frame 19 are hinged to the mounting seat 22. Limiting blocks 23 are provided at the mounting seats 22 at both ends of the pressure film frame 19. The setting of the limiting blocks 23 can limit the pressure film frame 19 and prevent the pressure film frame 19 from swinging too much.

[0032] The inserting duckbill is equipped with a blade, which makes it easier to make holes in the film.

[0033] The seeder body 1 is equipped with a control console 2, and the control console 2 is equipped with a control button 3. After the transplanting work is completed, the control button 3 on the control console 2 is pressed. At this time, the proximity sensor 18 is activated. When the protrusion 17 on the main shaft 16 rotates to the position of the proximity sensor 18, the control console 2 controls the clutch that transmits power to the main shaft 16 to disengage, thereby stopping the rotation of the main shaft 16 and keeping the transplanting mechanism 12 at its highest limit.

[0034] The clutch that transmits power to the main spindle 16 engages and disengages through the fourth cylinder. When the proximity sensor 18 detects a signal, it transmits the signal to the control console 2. The control console 2 controls the piston rod of the cylinder by controlling the solenoid valve, thereby disengaging the clutch that transmits power to the main spindle 16.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of the present invention.
