Plug seedlings are the main way of modern seedling cultivation in China. Aiming at the problems of low efficiency, high labor intensity and poor work quality for manual transplanting or semi-automatic transplanting of plug seedlings, a stable and efficient seedling picking device is designed for the automatic transplanting machine. It is based on the gear-cam-link composite mechanism to realize the seedling trajectory in accordance with the agronomic requirements. The mathematical model of the seedling picking device is established, and the theoretical profile equation of the cam groove and the actual picking trajectory equation are deduced. The 3D model and the virtual prototype model of the picking seedling device are constructed, and the simulation trajectory is obtained, using SolidWorks and ADAMS software. The simulation results show that the simulation working trajectory has good consistency with the theoretical trajectory.
