[0022] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 4The cinnamon tree peeling tool comprises: a positioning mechanism, which is used to position the cinnamon tree and drive the cinnamon tree to rotate, and comprises a rotating part and a movable ejector pin 121, the movable ejector pin 121 moves along the X direction, the rotating part and the movable ejector pin 121 are sequentially arranged along the X direction, and the rotating part and the movable ejector pin 121 clamp the cinnamon tree from both ends of the cinnamon tree respectively; the peeling mechanism comprises a first driving device, a second driving device and a peeling tool, the first driving device drives the peeling tool to move along the Y direction, the second driving device drives the peeling tool to move along the X direction, the peeling tool comprises a vibrator 211 and a peeling knife 212, the vibrator 211 is installed at the movable end of the first driving device, and the vibrator 211 drives the peeling knife 212 to vibrate.

[0023] The rotating part and the movable ejector pin 121 clamp the trunk 100 together, and then the first driving device drives the peeling knife 212 to approach the trunk 100 along the Y direction, so that the peeling knife 212 just abuts against the trunk 100, and then the vibrator 211 is started to make the peeling knife 212 vibrate reciprocatingly, so that the peeling knife 212 can separate the bark from the trunk 100 and avoid damaging the bark due to rough peeling; the rotating part drives the trunk 100 to rotate, and at the same time the second driving device drives the peeling tool to move along the X direction, so that the peeling knife 212 peels off the bark along the axial direction of the trunk 100, thereby realizing automatic peeling, reducing labor intensity and improving efficiency.

[0024] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 4 The rotating part includes a first motor 111 and a positioning block 112. The positioning block 112 is in a truncated cone shape and is mounted on the transmission shaft of the first motor 111. A plurality of positioning teeth 113 are arranged at one end of the positioning block 112 close to the movable ejector pin 121. The plurality of positioning teeth 113 are arranged circumferentially around the transmission shaft of the first motor 111. The plurality of positioning teeth 113 abut against the end surface of the trunk 100. At the same time, the movable ejector pin 121 drives the trunk 100 to move toward the movable part, so that the positioning teeth 113 are inserted into the trunk 100, so that the trunk 100 is stabilized between the positioning block 112 and the movable ejector pin 121. At the same time, the trunk 100 and the positioning block 112 are rotated synchronously to avoid the rotation of the peeling, and the trunk 100 and the positioning block 112 slipping. The movable ejector pin 121 can be driven by a linear slide module or by a cylinder.

[0025] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 4The first driving device includes a second motor 221, a first screw rod 222, a first movable block 224 and a first guide rail 223. The second motor 221 drives the first screw rod 222 to rotate. The first movable block 224 is threadedly connected to the first screw rod 222. The first movable block 224 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 223. The first movable block 224 drives the vibrator 211 to move along the Y direction. The first movable block 224 is provided with an adaptive component, which includes a third movable block 242, a guide rod 241, a spring 243 and a position sensor. The third movable block 242 is sleeved with the guide rod 241. The guide rod 241 is arranged on the first movable block along the Y direction. The spring 243 is sleeved with the guide rod 241. One end of the spring 243 abuts against the third movable block 242, and the other end of the spring 243 abuts against the first movable block. The position sensor is electrically connected to the second motor, and the vibrator is installed on the third movable block 242. The second motor 221 drives the first screw 222 to rotate, so that the first movable block 224 moves along the Y direction. When the peeling knife 212 contacts the trunk 100, the second motor 221 stops rotating, so that the position of the peeling knife 212 can be adjusted according to the trunk 100 of different thicknesses. At the same time, the first guide rail 223 increases the stability of the peeling knife 212 during the movement. The position sensor is used to sense the distance between the peeling knife 212 and the trunk 100. When the position sensor senses that the peeling knife 212 contacts the trunk 100, the second motor 221 continues to drive the peeling knife 212 forward a short distance, so that the spring 243 sleeved on the guide rod 241 is compressed, and the spring 243 generates a preload force acting on the peeling knife 212, so that the peeling knife 212 is close to the surface of the trunk, and at the same time, the peeling knife 212 is prevented from continuing to feed and damaging the bark.

[0026] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 4 The second driving device includes a third motor 231, a second guide rail 232 and a second movable block 235. The second movable block 235 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 232. Synchronous wheels 233 are respectively provided at both ends of the second guide rail 232. The synchronous wheels 233 at both ends are driven by a synchronous belt 234. The third motor 231 drives the synchronous wheel 233 to rotate, and the second movable block 235 is connected to the synchronous belt 234. The second movable block 235 is driven to move along the X direction through the transmission of the synchronous wheel 233 and the synchronous belt 234, so that the peeling tool moves axially along the trunk 100 to completely peel off the entire piece of bark.

[0027] The specific working process of the peeling tool is as follows: the two ends of the tree trunk 100 are respectively abutted against the positioning block 112 and the movable ejector pin 121, and stabilized between the positioning block 112 and the movable ejector pin 121. At this time, the positioning teeth 113 and the movable ejector pin 121 on the positioning block 112 are inserted into the tree trunk 100 to stabilize the tree trunk 100; then the second motor 221 drives the peeling knife 212 to approach the tree trunk 100 and contact the tree trunk 100, and then the second motor 221 stops moving; then the vibrator 211 drives the peeling knife 212 to vibrate, the first motor 111 drives the trunk 100 to rotate, and at the same time the third motor 231 drives the peeling knife 212 to move along the X direction, so that the peeling knife 212 peels off the entire piece of bark. When peeling, the position sensor detects the position of the paring knife 212 in real time. The trunk 100 is not completely straight. When the position sensor senses that the paring knife 212 is in contact with the trunk 100, the second motor 221 continues to drive the paring knife 212 forward a short distance, compressing the spring 243 sleeved on the guide rod 241. The spring 243 generates a pre-tightening force acting on the paring knife 212, so that the paring knife 212 is close to the surface of the trunk 100, while preventing the paring knife 212 from continuing to feed and damaging the bark; when the paring knife 212 leaves the trunk 100, the second motor 221 drives the paring knife 212 to move closer to the trunk 100, so that the paring knife 212 remains in contact with the trunk 100, thereby improving the quality of peeling.

[0028] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
