Vertical Planting Structure Design for Planter

Abstract

In view of many garlic drills without vertical planting structure so far, garlic clove cannot be vertical planted. A new design of vertical planting structure is proposed. The gripper for fixing garlic clove is designed. Moreover, the accurate cooperation is realized both transfer and vertical planting for garlic clove. Garlic clove is vertically inserted into the appropriate depth soil using the proposed machine. The structure of the proposed device is simple. It is convenient also to operate the device. The whole design of device is clever and cooperate appropriately. It can automatically operate from garlic clove fixing and transferring to garlic clove upright planting into appropriate depth soil. The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed device is proved by lots of experiments. The result shown that the proposed device greatly improve plant efficiency, greatly improve the garlic budding rate, and effectively prevent the phenomenon of abnormal buds.
