Description

Agricultural planting systems suitable for factory-style assembly line operations Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of modern agricultural production technology, and in particular to an agricultural planting system suitable for factory-style assembly line operation. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the social economy, the demand of the people for vegetables and other crops is increasing day by day. In order to meet this growing demand, traditional agricultural production methods are facing challenges such as high labor costs and insufficient precision of manual operation.

[0003] Against this backdrop, factory-style production has emerged as an important direction for improving crop production efficiency and yield. Factory-style production, especially assembly line operations, achieves large-scale and standardized agricultural production by cultivating plants in controlled environments during germination and growth stages. However, after plants reach a certain stage of growth, they often require agricultural operations such as transplanting and placement. These operations in China currently rely mainly on manual labor, consuming a large amount of labor and time, and are prone to causing crop damage.

[0004] Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this application is to provide an agricultural planting system suitable for factory-style assembly line operations, which can reduce reliance on manual labor, improve operational efficiency and accuracy, and meet the needs of factory production.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides an agricultural planting system, comprising:

[0007] At least one supporting body having a cavity for containing and planting crops;

[0008] The main body of the seedbed has two ends along its length, namely the starting end and the ending end. The direction from the starting end to the ending end is the direction of movement of the supporting body. The main body of the seedbed is equipped with a power device, and the supporting body can move from the starting end to the ending end through the power device.

[0009] A conveying module is used to receive and convey the carrier body. The conveying module is located in an area adjacent to the seedbed body, and its conveying path connects the edge of the seedbed body to the starting end and the ending end, thereby forming at least three sides around the seedbed body.

[0010] The conveying module is equipped with at least one steering component for adjusting the direction or angle of the carrier body to ensure proper docking between the carrier body and the seedbed body;

[0011] The supporting body is circulated relative to the seedbed body through the power unit and the conveying module.

[0012] In some embodiments, the conveying path of the conveying module includes a first conveying path, a second conveying path, and a third conveying path, wherein the first conveying path corresponds to the starting end, the second conveying path corresponds to the ending end, and the two ends of the third conveying path are respectively connected to the first conveying path and the second conveying path;

[0013] The steering component is located at the junction of the first conveying path and the third conveying path;

[0014] And / or, the steering component is disposed at the junction of the second conveying path and the third conveying path;

[0015] And / or, the steering component is disposed on the third transport path.

[0016] In some embodiments, the conveying module includes three conveyor belt structures, which are intermittent or continuous.

[0017] The three conveyor belt structures correspond to the first conveying path, the second conveying path, and the third conveying path, respectively, and the carrier body is conveyed through the conveyor belt structures.

[0018] In some embodiments, the conveying module further includes several moving parts, each of which has a movable component below it to enable the conveying module to move relative to the working ground.

[0019] The conveyor belt structures are respectively disposed on the upper surface of the corresponding moving parts.

[0020] In some embodiments, the supporting body is a pipe cultivation trough, and the two ends of the pipe cultivation trough are respectively provided with a return water end and a water inlet end. The water inlet end is used for introducing nutrient solution, and the return water end is used for exporting the residual nutrient solution in the cavity.

[0021] Each of the pipe cultivation troughs is provided with multiple planting holes along its length, and the planting holes are connected to the cavity, so that crops can be planted into the pipe cultivation trough through the planting holes.

[0022] In some embodiments, the steering assembly includes a rotating part and a driving member. The rotating part is disposed between the moving part and the working ground. The rotating part and the driving member are connected. When the driving member is in operation, the moving part rotates relative to the rotating part, which is suitable for adjusting the orientation of the pipe cultivation trough, thereby enabling the position of the return water end and the inlet water end of the pipe cultivation trough to be changed.

[0023] In some embodiments, the number of seedbed bodies is at least two, and the seedbed bodies are arranged in a preset array to form a cultivation matrix of one row and multiple columns, multiple rows and one column, or multiple rows and multiple columns.

[0024] The agricultural planting system is also equipped with an auxiliary power module to provide power to the carrying body so that it can move between different seedbed bodies within the cultivation matrix.

[0025] In some embodiments, the agricultural planting system further includes a harvesting module and a seedling loading module. The harvesting module is used to unload crops from the carrier body, and the seedling loading module is used to plant crops into the carrier body. Both the harvesting module and the seedling loading module are located on the third conveying path.

[0026] In some embodiments, the agricultural planting system further includes a cleaning module disposed on the third conveying path and located between the harvesting module and the seedling loading module, for cleaning the carrier body after the seedlings have been unloaded.

[0027] In some embodiments, the cleaning module is positioned at a higher level than the conveying module to prevent interference with the conveying module's transport of the load-bearing body.

[0028] The cleaning module includes a rinsing unit and / or a disinfection unit;

[0029] The rinsing unit includes a cleaning nozzle, a cleaning water pipe, and a water supply unit. The cleaning nozzle is connected to the water supply unit through the cleaning water pipe so that the carrier body can be rinsed through the cleaning nozzle when the water supply unit is turned on.

[0030] The disinfection unit is located at the rear end of the rinsing unit and is used to disinfect the cleaned carrier body.

[0031] Compared with existing technologies, the agricultural planting system suitable for factory-style assembly line operations provided in this application has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0032] 1. The system achieves automated cyclic transport of the carrier through a power unit and a conveying module, reducing the need for manual handling and positioning, and improving operational efficiency; moreover, through the steering component, the system can adjust the direction or angle of the carrier to ensure proper docking between the carrier and the seedbed, improving the accuracy and consistency of planting.

[0033] 2. The conveying module includes several moving parts, each with a movable component underneath. This design allows the conveying module to adapt to different terrains, improving the system's flexibility and applicability. Since the conveying module is movable, its layout can be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby reducing the footprint of fixed facilities and improving space utilization.

[0034] 3. By arranging at least two seedbeds in a pre-defined array to form a cultivation matrix with one row and multiple columns, multiple rows and one column, or multiple rows and multiple columns, the system can flexibly adapt to different planting scales and layout requirements. This design allows the system to be expanded according to actual planting needs while maintaining a compact structure, improving space utilization and planting efficiency.

[0047] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0048] With rapid socio-economic development and a significant improvement in people's living standards, the demand for vegetables and other crops has increased dramatically. Traditional agricultural planting methods, due to their low efficiency and high labor intensity, can no longer meet the growing market demand. In particular, after plants reach a certain stage of growth, they need to be transplanted, planted, or rearranged. These operations are currently mainly done manually, which is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also makes it difficult to ensure consistency and accuracy, directly affecting the yield and quality of crops.

[0049] In addition, manual operation carries certain risks, such as crop damage and disease spread, which can affect crop yield and quality.

[0050] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 of the specification, an agricultural planting system provided by this application is described, which can reduce reliance on manual labor and improve operational efficiency and accuracy.

[0051] Referring to Figures 1 and 2 of the specification, the agricultural planting system provided in this application includes at least one supporting body 1, a seedbed body 2, and a conveying module 3. The supporting body 1 is designed with a cavity specifically for accommodating and planting crops. This design not only improves space utilization but also facilitates centralized management and maintenance of crops. The seedbed body 2 has a starting end 201 and an ending end 202 along its length. The supporting body 1 moves from the starting end 201 to the ending end 202 via a power device. This automated process significantly reduces the need for manual handling, lowers labor intensity, and improves the accuracy and survival rate of crop transplanting.

[0052] The conveying module 3 is used to receive and transport the main body 1. The conveying path of the conveying module 3 surrounds the main body 2 on at least three sides from the outer edge of the main body 2, realizing the complete enclosure of the main body 2. This allows the transplanting and planting of crops to be completed without leaving the conveying module 3, further improving the efficiency of operation. In addition, the surrounding conveying path design enables the system to maximize the crop planting area in a limited space, improving the space utilization rate.

[0053] It should be noted that this agricultural planting system is flexibly designed to adapt to the planting needs of various crops and has a wide range of applications. The system is suitable for the cultivation and seedling raising of various crops such as vegetables, herbs, flowers, and Chinese medicinal herbs, covering a wide range from traditional crops to specialty horticultural products. It meets the growth conditions of different crops and is suitable for large-scale commercial agricultural production as well as small-scale intensive cultivation.

[0054] Furthermore, the conveying module 3 includes a steering component 4, which can adjust the direction or angle of the carrying body 1, ensuring proper docking between the carrying body 1 and the seedbed body 2, improving planting accuracy and contributing to crop growth.

[0055] Understandably, complex agricultural planting systems may contain multiple modules, such as planting modules, inspection modules, and maintenance modules. The steering component 4 allows the carrier body 1 to be smoothly transferred between these modules without additional manual adjustments or complex mechanical operations. For example, when the carrier body 1 needs to be transferred from the planting area to the inspection area, the steering component 4 can adjust its direction to allow it to smoothly enter the inspection module.

[0056] Based on the configuration of this embodiment, the carrier 1 can be transported to the starting end 201 of the seedbed body 2 via the conveying module 3, and the power unit starts working, transporting the carrier 1 along the length of the seedbed body 2. During this process, the carrier 1 can be transported to any designated position on the seedbed body 2 for crop planting. After the crop matures, the carrier 1 will be transported again via the power unit and moved to the ending end 202 of the seedbed body 2. Then, the carrier 1 will be transferred from the ending end 202 to the conveying module 3, and harvesting can be completed on the conveying module 3 (or at the ending end 202). After harvesting, the conveying module 3 can transport the carrier 1 back to the starting end 201 to prepare for the next round of planting.

[0057] With the help of the conveying module 3, the carrier 1 completes a cycle from the end 202 to the beginning 201, allowing it to be reused for planting new crops. This cyclical conveying process not only improves the utilization rate of the carrier 1 but also enhances the efficiency of the entire planting system, reduces manual intervention, and lowers labor intensity.

[0058] In one embodiment, the conveying path of the conveying module 3 includes a first conveying path, a second conveying path, and a third conveying path. The first conveying path corresponds to the starting end 201 of the seedbed body 2 and is responsible for conveying the carrier body 1 from the planting preparation area to the planting area. The second conveying path corresponds to the ending end 202 of the seedbed body 2 and is used to convey mature crops or carrier bodies 1 that need to be transferred from the planting area. The third conveying path connects the first and second conveying paths to form a conveying closed loop, ensuring that the carrier body 1 can smoothly return to the starting end 201 or be transferred to other locations after planting or harvesting.

[0059] Based on the configuration of this embodiment, the steering component 4 can be broadly categorized into three forms to ensure flexible switching of the carrier body 1 between conveying paths. Specifically, the steering component 4 can be positioned at the junction of the first and third conveying paths, enabling the carrier body 1 to smoothly transition from the starting end 201 into cyclic conveying; it can also be positioned at the junction of the second and third conveying paths, assisting the carrier body 1 in transitioning from the ending end 202 into cyclic conveying or performing other operations; furthermore, the steering component 4 can also be positioned on the third conveying path to adjust the direction of the carrier body 1 as needed, ensuring precise alignment with the first and second conveying paths.

[0060] The advantages of this design are that it significantly improves the efficiency of crop planting and harvesting, reduces delays caused by manual operation, and lowers reliance on manual labor, thereby reducing labor costs. At the same time, precise control reduces resource waste and improves crop yield and quality. The system's flexibility and adaptability are also enhanced, allowing for flexible adjustments to the conveying path and steering component 4 settings according to different planting needs and site conditions.

[0061] In practical implementation, the system can adjust the length of the conveying path and the position of the steering components 4 according to the type and growth cycle of the crop to adapt to different planting needs. For large-scale commercial production, the system can expand the conveying path and increase the number of steering components 4 to handle more load-bearing bodies 1 and crops. In small or medium-sized farms, a more compact conveying system can be designed to adapt to limited space and resources.

[0062] In addition, the system can be further integrated with environmental control modules, such as automatic irrigation systems and light regulation systems, to achieve precise control of the crop growth environment. It can also use Internet of Things technology to monitor crop growth in real time and automatically adjust the delivery path and steering component 4, which will further optimize crop planting and harvesting.

[0063] Optionally, as shown in Figure 3, the main body 2 of the seedbed is provided with several movable partitions 21. The main function of these partitions 21 is to limit the position of the main body 1 and prevent it from shaking during transportation, thereby ensuring the accuracy and safety of crop planting.

[0064] The design of the baffle 21 can be adjusted according to the size and shape of the carrier body 1 to achieve the best fixing effect. By precisely restricting the movement of the carrier body 1, the baffle 21 reduces the risk of crop damage caused by vibration or impact during transportation, while also improving transportation efficiency and ensuring the smooth movement of the carrier body 1 on the seedbed body 2.

[0065] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG1, the conveying module 3 includes three conveyor belt structures 300, which correspond to the first conveying path, the second conveying path, and the third conveying path, respectively. These conveyor belt structures 300 can be intermittent or continuous to adapt to different conveying needs and environmental conditions.

[0066] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4, the intermittent conveyor belt structure 300 is achieved by setting multiple rollers, such as drive rollers and auxiliary rollers. The drive roller drives the carrier body 1 to move along the conveying path through its own rotation. The drive roller is usually driven by a motor or other power source, providing the necessary power and directional control to ensure that the carrier body 1 moves along a predetermined path and speed. When the drive roller starts to rotate, it generates friction or engagement with the part that directly contacts the carrier body 1 (which may be a specific design of the bottom or side of the carrier body 1), thereby pushing the carrier body 1 to move along the conveying path. When the carrier body 1 is pushed by the drive roller, the auxiliary roller rotates synchronously with the contact surface of the carrier body 1, forming an auxiliary pushing force. This auxiliary pushing not only increases the stability of the movement of the carrier body 1, but also helps to reduce wear caused by friction, improve the efficiency of the conveying process, and increase the moving speed of the carrier body 1.

[0067] In addition, continuous conveyor belt structures 300, such as tracked belts, are suitable for long-distance and continuous operations. This structure ensures the stability and continuity of the load-bearing body 1 during the conveying process.

[0068] In one embodiment, based on the above embodiment, the conveying module 3 includes a plurality of moving parts 31, each of which is equipped with a movable component 310 below it. These movable components 310 allow the conveying module 3 to move freely on the working ground to adapt to different operating environments and crop planting needs. This design allows the entire conveying system to be quickly adjusted in position and layout as needed, greatly improving the system's flexibility and adaptability. The conveyor belt structure 300 is directly disposed on the upper surface of these moving parts 31, ensuring that the load-bearing body 1 (such as a planting tray or other planting container) can be effectively conveyed as the conveying module 3 moves.

[0069] Optionally, the movable component 310 can be a roller, such as a caster wheel, enabling the conveying module 3 to move in all directions, including forward, backward, and lateral movement, greatly enhancing the system's flexibility. Using rollers as the movable component 310 reduces direct pressure on the ground, protecting the ground from mechanical damage.

[0070] During implementation, the appropriate moving part 310 can be selected according to the ground conditions. For example, on a hard ground, a roller with better wear-resistant material can be selected; on a soft ground, it may be necessary to select a moving part 310 with a larger contact area.

[0071] Furthermore, a docking mechanism is provided between the moving parts 31. The moving parts 31 can be fixedly docked with corresponding moving parts 31 through this mechanism. When it is necessary to extend the conveying distance or cover a larger planting area, this arrangement extends the length of the conveyor belt structure 300. The docking mechanism can be designed as a mechanical locking mechanism, such as using pins or slots, allowing the moving parts 31 to connect quickly and securely. In implementation, the degree of automation of the docking mechanism can be considered, such as achieving rapid docking and separation through electric or pneumatic control, to further improve operational efficiency.

[0072] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the supporting body 1 is a pipe cultivation trough. Each pipe cultivation trough has an inlet end 11 and a return end 12 at both ends. The inlet end 11 is responsible for introducing the nutrient solution into the cavity of the pipe cultivation trough, while the return end 12 is used to discharge any remaining nutrient solution from the cavity. This design allows the nutrient solution to circulate within the pipe cultivation trough, providing the crops with the necessary nutrients and water.

[0073] Multiple planting holes 10 are evenly arranged along the length of the pipe cultivation trough. These planting holes 10 are connected to the cavity, allowing crops to be planted into the pipe cultivation trough through the planting holes 10. This not only improves space utilization but also makes crop planting and management more centralized and efficient.

[0074] During implementation, the spacing and size of the planting holes 10 in the pipe cultivation trough can be customized according to the type of crop and its growth cycle. For example, for crops with well-developed roots, larger planting holes 10 can be designed to accommodate root growth; while for crops with smaller roots, smaller planting holes 10 can be designed to save space and increase planting density.

[0075] Based on the above embodiments, further as shown in FIG5, the steering assembly 4 includes a driving member (not shown in the figure) and a rotating part 42. The rotating part 42 is connected to the driving member and is disposed between the moving part 31 and the working surface. When the driving member operates, the moving part 31 rotates relative to the rotating part 42 to adjust the orientation of the pipe cultivation trough. At this time, the steering assembly 4 forms a fixed-point rotation, and the aforementioned movable part 310 ensures that excessive wear is not caused to the working surface during the rotation process. In contrast, in other embodiments, the bottom of the moving part 31 with the steering assembly 4 may not be provided with a movable part 310. Instead, a corresponding rotating groove, rotation limiting structure, etc. can be directly provided on the working surface, as long as its steering function is met. Because in general, the production process is fixed, the position where the pipe cultivation trough turns and the turning angle can be obtained and set in advance.

[0076] Among them, since the conveying module 3 is generally one-way in conveying, it may cause the positions of the water return end 12 and the water inlet end 11 of the pipeline cultivation tank to be reversed. Through the steering component 4, the positions of the water return end 12 and the water inlet end 11 of the pipeline cultivation tank can be easily swapped, ensuring that when the pipeline cultivation tank is reinstalled on the seedbed main body 2 for planting work, the positions of its water inlet end 11 and water return end 12 are correct, thus ensuring the correct flow direction of the nutrient solution and the healthy growth of the crops.

[0077] In one embodiment, at least two seedbed main bodies 2 are included in the system design, and they are arranged according to a preset array to form a cultivation matrix of one row and multiple columns, multiple rows and one column, or multiple rows and multiple columns. This flexible layout method enables the system to adjust the quantity and arrangement of the seedbed main bodies 2 according to specific planting requirements and space conditions to optimize the planting density and growth environment of the crops.

[0078] In addition, the system is also provided with an auxiliary power module, which provides necessary power for the carrying main body 1 to realize the movement of the carrying main body 1 between different seedbed main bodies 2 in the cultivation matrix. Specifically, the cultivation matrix can be divided into multiple different cultivation zones according to the types of crops, growth stages, or specific management requirements. At this time, through the auxiliary power module, it can be ensured that the carrying main body 1 can be accurately conveyed to the designated cultivation zone to realize the independent management of different cultivation zones.

[0079] Based on the above content, as shown in Figure 1, the agricultural planting system further includes a harvesting module 5 and a seeding module 6, both of which are arranged on the third conveying path. The harvesting module 5 is specifically used to unload mature crops from the carrying main body 1, and the seeding module 6 is used to implant new crops into the carrying main body 1, reducing the need for manual operations, lowering the labor intensity, and improving the planting accuracy.

[0080] During implementation, the harvesting module 5 and the seeding module 6 can be designed in various forms such as robotic arms or vacuum suction cups to adapt to crops of different weights and shapes. These modules can be equipped with sensors and vision recognition systems to achieve precise positioning and operation of the crops. For example, the seeding module 6 can be designed as a robotic arm with fine-tuning functions to ensure that the crops can be accurately implanted into the planting holes 10 of the carrying main body 1.

[0081] The harvesting module 5 and the seeding module 6 can be further integrated into the intelligent control network of the entire planting system to achieve linkage with other modules such as nutrient solution supply and environmental control. For example, the system can automatically adjust the timing of seeding and unloading according to the growth data of the crops to optimize the growth cycle and yield of the crops.

[0082] In one embodiment, the agricultural planting system further includes a cleaning module 7, which is disposed on the third conveying path and located between the harvesting module 5 and the seedling loading module 6, for cleaning the carrier body 1 after the seedlings are unloaded.

[0083] Understandably, the cleaning module 7 is designed with automation and efficiency in mind. It can quickly remove residual soil, crop residues and possible disease spores from the carrier 1 without affecting the planting process, thereby reducing the spread of pests and diseases and improving the overall health of the crop.

[0084] More specifically, the cleaning module 7 is at a higher level than the conveying module 3, ensuring the smooth operation of the conveying module 3 and the continuous conveying of the carrying body 1.

[0085] The cleaning module 7 includes a rinsing unit and a disinfection unit. The coordinated operation of these two units enables comprehensive cleaning and disinfection of the carrier 1. The rinsing unit consists of a cleaning nozzle, a cleaning water pipe, and a water delivery unit. The cleaning nozzle is connected to the water delivery unit via the cleaning water pipe. When the water delivery unit is activated, water is delivered to the cleaning nozzle through the cleaning water pipe, thereby rinsing the carrier 1 and effectively removing soil, crop residues, and potential disease spores.

[0086] The disinfection unit is located at the rear of the rinsing unit and is used to disinfect the cleaned carrier 1. This step further ensures the cleanliness and hygiene of the carrier 1, reduces the risk of disease and contamination, and provides a safety guarantee for the next planting operation.

[0087] In implementation, the cleaning nozzles can be designed with adjustable angle and pressure to accommodate carriers of different sizes and shapes. The water supply unit can be an automatically controlled water pump system that provides the appropriate water pressure and flow rate as needed. The disinfection unit can employ various disinfection methods such as ultraviolet irradiation, chemical spraying, or heat treatment to meet different disinfection requirements.

[0088] In addition, in the embodiments of this application, the power unit can adopt a variety of power transmission methods, such as an electric drive system, which precisely controls speed and direction through a motor and a reduction mechanism; or a hydraulic drive system, which uses a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic cylinder to provide strong and stable thrust; a pneumatic drive system is also an option, which drives the cylinder through compressed air to achieve fast response and low-cost operation; in addition, a belt or chain drive system can be used, which drives the belt or chain through a motor to achieve long-distance transport of the carrying body 1; and a gear drive system precisely controls the moving distance and speed through gear meshing.

[0089] In practical applications, the most suitable power unit can be selected based on the length of the seedbed body 2, the weight of the load-bearing body 1, and the specific requirements of the planting operation. For example, in scenarios involving lightweight load-bearing bodies 1 and short-distance transport, electric or pneumatic drive systems may be more suitable; while in scenarios requiring heavy-duty load-bearing bodies 1 and long-distance transport, hydraulic drive systems may be more appropriate.

[0090] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
