摘要
该文针对新疆地区吊篮式移栽机手工喂入效率低的问题,设计了穴盘苗移栽自动取喂系统。该系统采用穴盘步进移位机构提供穴盘的横向和纵向移位,由翻转摆位式取苗机械手进行取苗和穴盘苗的转移,利用柔性链输送喂入机构对穴盘苗逐个投放,能够对穴高45mm、上边宽31.75mm、下边宽13mm的吸塑成型的软穴盘苗进行自动取苗并向两个栽植器投苗。整个系统由PLC(programmable logic controller)程序控制,采用气压驱动,工作气压0.5~0.8MPa,耗气量60.65L/min,单组取喂系统结构独立,质量小于110kg,不增加原有移栽机地轮负荷,即能与新移栽机配套生产,也能对现有移栽机进行自动化改造。系统中穴盘步进移位机构在柔性链输送喂入机构的侧上方倾斜放置,使穴盘上表面与水平面的夹角105°,缩小了机器水平占用空间。采用苗龄58d的"红安6号"辣椒苗进行室内取苗试验,试验结果显示,系统取喂苗总可靠率达98.92%,平均基质损失质量9.26%,取喂速度达70株/min,未见明显伤苗,能够满足设计要求。
The nacelle-type semi-automatic transplanter is the best available technology to punch holes in the plastic film and has been used extensively in Xinjiang, China, but the nacelle-type transplanter had very low efficiency. It had the frequency of less than 40 pieces /min for each transplanting device. The automatic feed system was designed for a nacelle-type transplanter to improve the efficiency of the feeding system of the transplanter, matching with the tray which is widely used in Xinjiang province. It has 128 (16 rows×8 lines) plugs and is made by the vacuum form process. The thickness is 0.6-1 mm, the hole depth is 45 mm, the top width is 31.75mm and the bottom width is 13mm. The tray carrying the seedlings can be moved transversally and longitudinally by the step-displacement unit (SDU) in the feed system. In order to reduce the automatic feed system width of the horizontal direction, and keep plug seedlings from dropping from the plug tray, the machine was slanted at an angle horizontally with the SDU beams at 105° . The seedlings were taken and moved by a turning and position shift style seedlings manipulator (TPSM). The seedlings were dropped in the tube of the flexible chain conveyor feeding mechanism (FCCFM) by the manipulator at the right time. Then the seedlings were transported and put in the nacelle of two different transplanting devices by the FCCFM. The FCCFM was set at the bottom of the feed system. The SDU was set on the top and side of FCCFM, and the TPSM was set on the top of the FCCFM. The seedling transfer was done by the TPSM, which picks up the seedling on the tray side and drops the seedlings on the other side. When the seedling tube is standing still, the manipulator puts the plug seedlings into the seedling tube. With the seedlings tube driven by the flexible chain and rotating to the right side, the seedling tube will go through two types of drop windows -- one is wide, and the other is narrow. When the seedlings tube first goes through the narrow drop seedlings window, only the narrow shutter of the seedling tube is opened and drops seedlings. When the seedlings tube goes through the wide drop seedlings window, all the shutters open, and only the wide shutter seedling tube drops seedlings. The feed system is controlled by PLC, and driven by pneumatic force. The average total air consumption of the pneumatic components is 60.56L/min. The structure of this automatic feed system is independent and does not increase the load on the wheels of the transplanting machine. Its mass is less than 110kg and the cost is also affordable. It can be attached to a new transplanting machine or it can be used with an existing transplanting machine. The "Hong'an #6"pepper seedlings were used to test the automatic feed system, and seedlings were raised from February 25, 2011 to April 25, 2011. At a seedling age of 58d, the average height of the seedlings was 163.06mm; nursery substrates were made of peat, vermiculite and perlite, in accordance with the volume ratio 1:1:1. Compressed air is provided by the laboratory air pump (ZBM-0.1/8), and the air tank pressure was maintained at 0.5 ~ 0.8MPa. The results showed that the seedling feeding speed was increased up to 70pieces/min, the reliability of the system was 98.92%, and the average mass loss of the seedling substrate was 9.26%.
