Design of Automatic Transplantor for Flower Seedling

Abstract:

In order to improve the flower-seedling transplanting from trays to pots, an automatic transplantor was designed, the key components of which included the grasper, transit unit and the controller. The grasper for holding the seedling root, was optimized based on the analysis for the grasp force, and it was adaptive for trays of varied size and non-destructive for the seedling. The belt-gear unit was adopted to drive efficient seedling transit, besides the multi-motor control system was built. Finally, the test for the grasper and the control system showed that the control system worked well when 600-1000 cycles per hour were finished, and the grasper performed perfectly when the less than 800 seedlings per hour were transplanted.
