[0026] Example:

[0027] Please see attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3 The embodiment of the present invention provides an automated edible rose pruning machine, comprising a main frame 2, a first connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the top of the main frame 2, a hydraulic cylinder 4 is rotatably connected to the top of the first connecting plate 5, the bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder 4 penetrates and extends to the bottom of the first connecting plate 5, a gear 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder 4, a rack 24 is meshed and connected to the left side of the gear 23, a second cylinder 22 is arranged on the front side of the rack 24, a fixed sleeve 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 4, a connecting ring 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixing sleeve 14, a connecting sleeve 13 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting ring 15, a first cylinder 9 is arranged inside the connecting sleeve 13, a connecting frame 11 is fixedly connected to the front end of the first cylinder 9, a driving motor 8 is fixedly connected to the center position of the top of the connecting frame 11, a saw disc 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the driving motor 8, sawtooth cutting strips 12 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the connecting frame 11, a steering adjustment mechanism is arranged on the front side of the top of the main frame 2, and the steering adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the driving viewing angle.

[0028] The sawtooth cutting strip 12 is a prior art, and the saw blade is driven to reciprocate by a driving device to form an angle with the blade to prune the branches and leaves;

[0029] The saw disc 10 is used to cut and prune the top of the edible rose, while the sawtooth cutting strips 12 on both sides are used to cut and prune the branches and leaves on the left and right sides of the edible rose;

[0030] Start the hydraulic cylinder 4, and the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder 4 drives the fixed sleeve 14 connected to its output end to move upward, so that the connecting frame 11 leaves the placement bin 6, and then the two collecting bags 7 are respectively inserted into the corresponding positions on the connecting frame 11, and then the second cylinder 22 pushes the rack 24 to move, driving the gear 23 meshing therewith to rotate, so that the hydraulic cylinder 4 turns, and the connecting frame 11 turns to one side, and further extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder 4 drives the fixed sleeve 14 connected to its output end to move up and down, and the first cylinder 9 controls the connecting frame 11 to extend outward, so as to further accurately adjust the trimming position of the saw disk 10 and the serrated cutting strip 12, and after determining the position, the driving motor 8 drives the saw disk 10 to rotate at high speed, and the serrated cutting strips 12 on the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the connecting frame 11 work together to trim the rose branches, thereby realizing the automation of edible rose pruning, improving pruning efficiency, and reducing labor intensity.

[0031] See attached Figure 4 The steering adjustment mechanism includes a second connecting plate 17, which is fixedly connected to the main frame 2. A cab 1 is arranged on the top of the second connecting plate 17, and a connecting column 19 is fixedly connected at the center of the bottom of the cab 1. A limiting disk 21 is arranged at the bottom of the second connecting plate 17, and a limiting buckle 20 is slidably connected at the center of the bottom of the connecting column 19. A tension spring 18 is sleeved on the top of the limiting buckle 20, and evenly distributed limiting grooves 16 are opened at the bottom of the limiting disk 21.

[0032] When the steering angle of the cab 1 needs to be adjusted, the operator applies a rotating force to the cab 1, and at this time, the connecting column 19 rotates in the limiting plate 21. Pull down the limiting buckle 20 at the bottom center of the connecting column 19, and the tension spring 18 set on the top of the limiting buckle 20 will be stretched. When the cab 1 is rotated to a suitable angle, release the limiting buckle 20, and the tension spring 18 will generate a restoring force to contract, pulling the limiting buckle 20 into the corresponding limiting groove 16 opened at the bottom of the limiting plate 21, thereby achieving limiting and fixing. Through the coordinated cooperation between the connecting column 19, the limiting plate 21, the limiting buckle 20, the tension spring 18 and the limiting groove 16, the cab 1 can flexibly adjust the angle of view according to the direction of the machine and the needs of the operator, and stably maintain it after adjusting to the appropriate position, so that the operator can better observe the rose pruning situation and road conditions;

[0033] Under normal conditions, the machine is facing forward in the direction where the cab 1 is located, and it also drives in that direction. When pruning is performed, the direction where the cab 1 is located is backward, and the driving direction is opposite to the cab 1. When the machine is not pruning edible roses, it is necessary to adjust the viewing angle of the cab 1. The machine has two driving modes when it is working and when it is not working. When performing pruning work, the machine is switched front and back in order to have a more precise grasp of the pruning of edible roses, ensuring that the operator can clearly observe the rose plants in different directions, including the side and rear, during work, reduce blind spots, and promptly discover the parts that need to be pruned and obstacles that may appear.

[0034] See attached Figure 6 The connecting column 19 passes through and extends to the bottom of the limiting disk 21 , and the connecting column 19 is rotationally connected to the inner diameter of the limiting disk 21 .

[0035] When the cab 1 rotates, the connecting column 19 connected to the cab 1 rotates together. As the connecting column 19 rotates, friction occurs between the connecting column 19 and the inside of the limiting plate 21. Therefore, when in use, butter is applied to the contact position between the connecting column 19 and the limiting plate 21 for lubrication.

[0036] See attached Figure 6 The second cylinder 22 is fixedly connected to the main frame 2 , and the output end of the second cylinder 22 is fixedly connected to the rack 24 .

[0037] The meshing transmission between the gear 23 and the rack 24 is used for horizontal position adjustment. The second cylinder 22 pushes the rack 24 to move, driving the gear 23 meshing therewith to rotate, thereby causing the component connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 4 to move in the horizontal direction to adapt to the pruning of rose branches in different positions.

[0038] See attached Figure 3 The connecting ring 15 is located on the surface of the hydraulic cylinder 4 , and the connecting ring 15 and the hydraulic cylinder 4 are slidingly connected.

[0039] The extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder 4 drives the fixed sleeve 14 connected to the output end thereof to move up and down, thereby changing the height positions of the saw disc 10 and the sawtooth cutting strip 12 .

[0040] See attached Figure 4 The top end of the tension spring 18 is rotationally connected to the connecting column 19 , the bottom end of the tension spring 18 is rotationally connected to the limiting buckle 20 , and the limiting buckle 20 and the limiting groove 16 are engaged with each other.

[0041] The limit buckle 20 is pulled downward, so that the tension spring 18 is stretched, and the limit buckle 20 is released. The limit buckle 20 is snapped into the corresponding limit groove 16 under the action of the tension spring 18.

[0042] See attached Figure 1Track wheels 3 are arranged on both sides of the main frame 2, and a storage bin 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the main frame 2.

[0043] How to drive the crawler wheel 3 is a prior art and is not described in detail. The driving device drives the inner wheel of the crawler to rotate, and the outer crawler drives the outer crawler to rub against the ground, thereby driving.

[0044] See attached Figure 3 Two collecting bags 7 are arranged at the bottom of the connecting frame 11 , and the two collecting bags 7 are engaged with the connecting frame 11 .

[0045] The two collecting bags 7 are detachable and can be inserted into the corresponding positions at the bottom of the connecting frame 11 through the raised connecting parts. When it is not necessary to collect branches and leaves, the collecting bags 7 can be removed and the trimmed branches and leaves can fall to the ground as nutrients for the soil. After the collecting bags 7 are filled with branches and leaves, the branches and leaves can be collected by pulling the collecting bags 7 out of the connecting frame 11 and pouring the branches and leaves into the placement bin 6.

[0046] See attached Figure 5 The output end of the first cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 13, and the surface of the first cylinder 9 is slidably connected to the inside of the connecting sleeve 13.

[0047] The position of the connection frame 11 is adjusted by the extension and retraction of the first cylinder 9 . When the first cylinder 9 is extended, the connection frame 11 moves outward, and when the first cylinder 9 is retracted, the connection frame 11 moves inward.

[0048] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
