Design and simulation analysis of automatic pruning mechanism for seedlings

The focus of most seedling pruning device technologies is on how to improve the blade structure, and there are few seedling devices that can achieve automatic pruning. For this purpose, an automatic pruning device for seedlings was designed, which mainly includes scissors, driving mechanism, and inlet and outlet mechanism; The scissors are composed of a blade and a handle that are hinged through a first hinge link; The driving mechanism includes a motor and a gear sleeve telescopic rod; The entry and exit mechanism mainly consists of a first hinge link rod and its connected base. The first hinge link rod includes an entry and exit slider, an entry and exit telescopic rod, and an entry and exit guide groove. The base includes left and right sliders, left and right telescopic rods, and left and right guide grooves. The device has a novel design and a simple structure. The driving mechanism and the inlet and outlet mechanism achieve full automation of seedling pruning, improving pruning efficiency and quality. It also overcomes the problem of uneven manual pruning and greatly improves the aesthetics of seedlings after pruning.
