Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal herb harvesting technology, specifically to a device for harvesting medicinal herbs under soapberry forests. Background Technology
[0002] Gleditsia sinensis forest understory medicinal plants refer to medicinal plants planted or naturally growing under Gleditsia sinensis trees. Common varieties include shade-loving herbs such as Polygonatum sibiricum, Polygonatum odoratum, Pinellia ternata, and Arisaema heterophyllum. This type of medicinal plant utilizes the shading effect of the Gleditsia sinensis tree canopy and the humus-rich soil formed by fallen leaves to create a semi-wild growing environment. This not only improves the quality of the medicinal materials but also achieves three-dimensional land use. The Gleditsia sinensis forest understory planting model combines ecological benefits with economic value and is one of the important methods for ecological cultivation of Chinese medicinal herbs.
[0003] When using mechanized harvesting equipment under soapberry trees, there are many blind spots in operation, requiring manual harvesting with tools. Traditional harvesting tools do not have the function of directly pulling out the roots. During the harvesting process, the use of shovels and other tools causes significant damage to the root system of the medicinal herbs, and digging up the soil is labor-intensive and inconvenient.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a device for harvesting medicinal herbs under soapberry forests, comprising:
[0025] A handle 1, on the outer wall of which a control button 11 is fixedly installed;
[0026] Herb clamping mechanism 2 is mounted on handle 1 and is used to clamp herbs.
[0027] The supporting digging and harvesting mechanism 3 is mounted on the medicinal material clamping mechanism 2 and is used to provide a fulcrum for pulling out the medicinal material.
[0028] The herb clamping mechanism 2 includes a reference side plate 21. A slide rod 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the reference side plate 21. A movable side plate 23 is fixedly installed at the end of the slide rod 22. An electric cylinder 24 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the reference side plate 21. The telescopic end of the electric cylinder 24 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable side plate 23. Both the reference side plate 21 and the movable side plate 23 have through holes 25. Clamping plates 26 are fixedly installed at the ends of both the reference side plate 21 and the movable side plate 23. In use, the mechanism is moved so that the tail of the herb is located between the two clamping plates 26. Then, the electric cylinder 24 is controlled to retract, which can drive the movable side plate 23 to move toward the reference side plate 21, realizing the function of clamping the tail of the herb, which facilitates the harvesting work. The control button 11 is used to control the extension and retraction of the electric cylinder 24. Regarding control, it is worth noting that the control button 11 and electric cylinder 24 in this solution are commercially available devices that can be purchased by those skilled in the art. No structural modifications have been made to these devices in this paper. Therefore, those skilled in the art are familiar with their working principles based on their professional knowledge and can apply them proficiently. Thus, this paper will not elaborate further on this aspect. Furthermore, this solution aims to protect the physical structure, not the circuitry or software control. The mention of the processing circuit in this paper is merely a supplementary explanation of the feasibility and authenticity of this utility model. This utility model does not require protection of the algorithm and circuitry technology. It is worth emphasizing that although this solution does not elaborate on the electronic control program, those skilled in the art can be familiar with and apply it based on their professional knowledge.
[0029] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a movable plate 27 is detachably connected to the outer wall of the inner side of the clamping plate 26. A rubber plate 28 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable plate 27 away from the clamping plate 26. The design of the rubber plate 28 can reduce the damage to the tail of the medicinal material during clamping. The movable plate 27 is installed on the clamping plate 26 with screws. The rubber plate 28 can be replaced when it is damaged.
[0030] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the herb clamping mechanism 2 also includes a sleeve 29, which is fixedly installed at the end of the handle 1. A battery box 291 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sleeve 29. The battery box 291 contains a battery body, which is used to supply power to the electric cylinder 24, thus facilitating the use of this structure.
[0031] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, a first connecting arm 292 and a second connecting arm 293 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 29. The bottom of the first connecting arm 292 and the second connecting arm 293 are fixedly connected to the top of the reference side plate 21. Multiple bolts are threadedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 29. The threaded ends of the multiple bolts are respectively in contact with the outer wall of the first connecting arm 292 and the second connecting arm 293. When users of different heights use the sleeve, the height of the handle 1 can be adjusted. During adjustment, the bolts on the outer wall of the sleeve 29 are loosened, and then the first connecting arm 292 and the second connecting arm 293 are slidably adjusted inside the sleeve 29. After the adjustment is completed, the bolts on the sleeve 29 are tightened.
[0032] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the supporting excavation mechanism 3 includes a kit 31, which is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one of the clamping plates 26. A crossbeam 34 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the kit 31. A cylindrical fulcrum 35 is fixedly installed at the end of the crossbeam 34. After the tail of the medicinal material is clamped by the medicinal material clamping mechanism 2, the structure is then flipped around the cylindrical fulcrum 35. The medicinal material can be directly pulled out from the soil by means of the lever principle.
[0033] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, a reinforcing foot 32 is welded to the outer wall of the kit 31. The reinforcing foot 32 is welded to the outer wall of the clamping plate 26. A positioning bolt 33 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the kit 31. The threaded end of the positioning bolt 33 is in movable contact with the outer wall of the crossbeam 34. Through the design of the reinforcing foot 32, the installation of the kit 31 can be reinforced, and the extension of the cylindrical fulcrum 35 can be adjusted. Loosening the positioning bolt 33 allows the crossbeam 34 to slide inside the kit 31. After adjustment, the positioning bolt 33 can be tightened.
[0034] Working principle: When in use, move this structure so that the tail of the medicinal material is between the two clamping plates 26. Then, control the electric cylinder 24 to retract, which can drive the moving side plate 23 to move towards the reference side plate 21, thereby clamping the tail of the medicinal material. Then, rotate the structure around the cylindrical fulcrum 35, and use the lever principle to pull the medicinal material directly out of the soil, thus realizing the function of digging and harvesting.
[0035] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
