Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aquatic plant bundle material transportation, in particular to a ring track and a transportation method for bundle material transportation. Background Art

[0002] Material transportation is also called material transfer, which is widely used in the fields of machinery manufacturing, motors, chemicals, water conservancy, etc. Common material conveying equipment includes plate equipment, bucket conveyors, belt equipment, etc. The conveying principle is to use special material holding tools or slings to move under the traction of the drive device to transport the materials to the designated location. Material transportation consumes a lot of energy. When the weight of the material is large, more energy will be consumed. For some engineering ships that are far away from the shore, energy conservation and environmental protection are the primary considerations. The space on the engineering ship is cramped, and the layout of material conveying equipment will be subject to more space restrictions. The materials need to be transported from the middle of the engineering ship to the side of the ship, and the water grass, water garbage and other materials contain a lot of water. Sufficient drainage time is required to reduce the weight of the material and achieve energy saving.

[0003] Energy saving can be achieved by controlling the operation of the motor drive equipment. Generally, photoelectric sensors are used to determine whether the material is on the conveying track. The principle is to continuously send light signals to the front of the sensor. Once the material passes, the sensor receives the material reflection signal and determines whether the motor is turned on or off. However, there are still some problems with this method: first, this light signal has the property of attenuation in the air, especially when encountering black objects, the reflection signal of the black object is too weak, which will affect the normal operation of the sensor; second, the distance of the material block will also affect the normal operation of the sensor, and there will be errors in judgment; third, the rotten leaves and straw of aquatic plants may fall or block the sensor, and the sensor will misjudge the existence of the material block, and manual intervention is required at this time. Fourth, when used outdoors, the sensitivity of the photoelectric sensor is greatly affected by the direct light and the reverse light, and sometimes misjudgment occurs. Although the material conveying equipment operates normally indoors, various problems will occur outdoors, especially when it is constructed on water, due to light, temperature, rain, etc., which significantly restricts the automation and mechanization of material conveying.

[0037] Example

[0038] See also Figure 1 to Figure 3The present embodiment provides a circular track for transporting bundled materials, comprising a first track section 6, a plurality of middle track sections and a last track section 22. The first track section 6, the plurality of middle track sections (three middle track sections are provided in the present embodiment, namely, the first middle track section 12, the second middle track section 16, the third middle track section 19), and the last track section 22 are sequentially connected end to end to form a non-closed quasi-circular structure. Two adjacently connected tracks are arranged perpendicular to each other.

[0039] A first pushing mechanism 7 for pushing the bundled materials 5 conveyed by the material packing box 4 into the first section track 6 is arranged on one side of the bracket between the head of the first section track 6 and the outlet of the material packing box 4; a second pushing mechanism 11 for pushing the bundled materials 5 conveyed by the first section track 6 into the first intermediate section track 12 is arranged on one side of the tail of the first section track 6; a third pushing mechanism 15 for pushing the bundled materials 5 conveyed by the intermediate section track into the next intermediate section track or the last section track 22 is arranged on one side of the tail of each intermediate section track.

[0040] Specifically, the first pushing mechanism 7, the second pushing mechanism 11 and the third pushing mechanism 15 have the same structure, and are all composed of a mounting plate 27, a cylinder 28 horizontally fixed on the mounting plate 27, and a push plate 29 connected to the piston rod end of the cylinder 28. The mounting plate 27 is correspondingly installed on the bracket or mounting frame 24, and the solenoid valves of each cylinder 28 are respectively connected to the sensors 34 of the detection mechanism at the corresponding positions.

[0041] The first track 6, the middle tracks, and the last track 22 all include a mounting frame 24, a plurality of conveying rollers 25 mounted on the mounting frame 24, and a driving motor 26 for driving each conveying roller 25. The mounting frames 24 of each track have the same structure but different sizes. The driving motor 26 of each track is respectively connected to the sensor 34 of the detection mechanism at the head and tail of the track.

[0042] Specifically, the mounting frame 24 is composed of a long beam and a short beam, and the conveying roller 25 is cylindrical. The conveying roller 25 is located between the two long beams of each track. Gears are installed at both ends of each conveying roller 25, and the gears are located inside the long beams. The conveying rollers 25 are connected by chains, and the chains are meshed with the gears (because the transmission mechanism of the chain and the gears here is a well-known technology for those skilled in the art, it will not be described here one by one). The power output by the driving motor 26 is transmitted to the conveying roller 25 through the motor shaft, and the gears at the left and right ends of the conveying roller 25 are driven by the chain. When the driving motor 26 drives one conveying roller 25 to rotate, the adjacent conveying roller 25 will roll under the drive of the gears, so that the bundled material 5 moves from the head to the tail of the track under the rolling of the conveying roller 25. Since the two adjacent tracks are arranged perpendicular to each other, the axial directions of the conveying rollers 25 of the two adjacent tracks are also perpendicular to each other. The bundled materials 5 cannot be driven by the driving motor 26 to enter the next track from one track. At this time, the bundled materials 5 can be pushed from one track to the next track through the pushing mechanism at the corresponding position.

[0043] In addition, a rotatable conveying roller 25 is also installed on the bracket at the outlet side of the material packing box 4 in this embodiment, so as to facilitate the bundled materials 5 coming out of the material packing box 4 to smoothly enter the bracket.

[0044] The outlet side of the material packing box 4, the head and tail of the first section track 6, the head and tail of several middle sections of the track, and the head of the last section track 22 are all provided with a detection mechanism for detecting that the bundled material 5 has arrived at the corresponding position. Specifically, each of the detection mechanisms includes a support plate 30, a pressing block 33 and a sensor 34. The support plate 30 is correspondingly mounted on the bracket or mounting frame 24. The support plate 30 is provided with a groove 31 located at the upper part and a wire hole 32 located at the lower part. The pressing block 33 and the sensor 34 are both placed in the groove 31. The pressing block 33 is located above the sensor 34 and fits with the sensor 34. The top of the pressing block 33 is higher than the support plate 30 by a certain height. The wire hole 32 is connected to the groove 31. The wire hole 32 is a through hole. The wire hole 32 is used to place the signal line and power line of the sensor 34. When the bundled material 5 passes through the pressing block 33, since the bundled material 5 has sufficient weight, the pressing block 33 transfers the load to the sensor 34; when the bundled material 5 moves horizontally, the weight of the bundled material 5 does not change significantly, and the sensor 34 receives the signal that the bundled material 5 is passing through the support plate 30 at the corresponding position, and transmits the signal to the corresponding power mechanism to turn the power mechanism on or off.

[0045] Among them, the detection mechanism (i.e., the first detection mechanism 8) at the outlet of the material packaging box 4 is used to detect that the bundled materials 5 transported by the material packaging box 4 have arrived at the corresponding position and transmit the arrival signal to the first pushing mechanism 7; the sensor 34 of the first detection mechanism 8 at the outlet of the material packaging box 4 is connected to the cylinder 28 of the first pushing mechanism 7.

[0046] The detection mechanism (i.e., the second detection mechanism 9) at the head of the first track 6 is used to detect that the first push mechanism 7 pushes the bundled material 5 into the corresponding position on the first track 6 and transmits the arrival signal to the drive motor 26 of the first track 6; the sensor 34 of the second detection mechanism 9 at the head of the first track 6 is connected to the drive motor 26 of the first track 6. The detection mechanism (i.e., the third detection mechanism 10) at the tail of the first track 6 is used to detect that the bundled material 5 transported by the first track 6 arrives at the corresponding position and transmits the arrival signal to the drive motor 26 of the first track 6 and the second push mechanism 11; the sensor 34 of the third detection mechanism 10 at the tail of the first track 6 is respectively connected to the drive motor 26 of the first track 6 and the cylinder 28 of the second push mechanism 11.

[0047] The detection mechanism at the head of each intermediate track (the detection mechanisms at the heads of the three intermediate tracks are the fourth detection mechanism 13, the sixth detection mechanism 17, and the eighth detection mechanism 20) is used to detect that the second pushing mechanism 11 or the third pushing mechanism 15 pushes the bundled material 5 into the corresponding position on the corresponding intermediate track and transmits the arrival signal to the drive motor 26 of the corresponding intermediate track; the sensor 34 of the detection mechanism at the head of each intermediate track is connected to the drive motor 26 of the corresponding intermediate track. The detection mechanism at the tail of each intermediate track (the detection mechanisms at the tail of the three intermediate tracks are the fifth detection mechanism 14, the seventh detection mechanism 18, and the ninth detection mechanism 21) is used to detect that the bundled material 5 transported by the corresponding intermediate track arrives at the corresponding position and transmits the arrival signal to the drive motor 26 of the corresponding intermediate track and the third pushing mechanism 15; the sensor 34 of the detection mechanism at the tail of each intermediate track is respectively connected to the drive motor 26 of the corresponding intermediate track and the cylinder 28 of the third pushing mechanism 15.

[0048] The detection mechanism at the head of the last track 22 (i.e., the tenth detection mechanism 23) is used to detect that the third pushing mechanism 15 pushes the bundled material 5 into the corresponding position on the last track 22 and transmits the arrival signal to the drive motor 26 of the last track 22; the detection mechanism at the head of the last track 22 is connected to the drive motor 26 of the last track 22.

[0049] The method for transporting bundled materials 5 comprises the following steps:

[0050] S1, the material packing box 4 transports the bundled material 5. When the first detection mechanism 8 on the bracket at the exit of the material packing box 4 detects that the bundled material 5 has arrived at the corresponding position on the bracket, the arrival signal is transmitted to the first pushing mechanism 7, and the first pushing mechanism 7 acts to push the bundled material 5 to the head of the first track 6;

[0051] S2, when the second detection mechanism 9 at the head of the first section track 6 detects that the bundled material 5 has arrived at the corresponding position at the head of the first section track 6, the arrival signal is transmitted to the driving motor 26 of the first section track 6, and the driving motor 26 of the first section track 6 is started, so that each conveying roller 25 of the first section track 6 rotates to convey the bundled material 5;

[0052] When the third detection mechanism 10 at the tail of the first track 6 detects that the bundled material 5 has arrived at the corresponding position at the tail of the first track 6, the arrival signal is transmitted to the driving motor 26 of the first track 6 and the second pushing mechanism 11, the driving motor 26 of the first track 6 is turned off, and the second pushing mechanism 11 is activated to push the bundled material 5 to the head of the middle track;

[0053] S3, when the detection mechanism at the head of the middle track detects that the bundle of materials 5 has arrived at the corresponding position at the head of the middle track, the arrival signal is transmitted to the drive motor 26 of the corresponding middle track, and the drive motor 26 of the middle track is started, so that each conveying roller 25 of the middle track rotates to convey the bundle of materials 5;

[0054] When the detection mechanism at the end of the middle track detects that the bundled material 5 has arrived at the corresponding position at the end of the middle track, the arrival signal is transmitted to the drive motor 26 and the third pushing mechanism 15 of the corresponding middle track, the drive motor 26 of the corresponding middle track is turned off, and the third pushing mechanism 15 is activated to push the bundled material 5 to the head of the last track 22;

[0055] S4. When the tenth detection mechanism 23 at the head of the last track 22 detects that the bundled material 5 has arrived at the corresponding position at the head of the last track 22, the arrival signal is transmitted to the drive motor 26 of the last track 22. The drive motor 26 of the last track 22 is started, so that the conveying rollers 25 of the last track 22 rotate to convey the bundled material 5.

[0056] When there are multiple intermediate track sections, the step S3 process is repeated repeatedly, and the bundled material 5 is pushed from one intermediate track section to the next intermediate track section by the third pushing mechanism 15, and is transported on each intermediate track section in turn until the bundled material 5 reaches the end of the last intermediate track section and is pushed to the head of the last track section 22 by the third pushing mechanism 15.

[0057] During operation, the loose materials first enter the material concentration box 2, are then compressed by the material compression box 3, and are finally packaged into bundles in the material packaging box 4. The density of the bundled materials 5 is significantly increased, and the weight is also significantly increased.

[0058] The circular track 1 has two modes for transporting bundled materials 5, namely a transport mode and a storage mode.

[0059] The transport mode is: the bundled materials 5 pass through the first track 6, several middle tracks (three middle tracks are provided in this embodiment, namely the first middle track 12, the second middle track 16, and the third middle track 19), and the last track 22 in sequence.

[0060] After the bundled material 5 passes through the outlet of the material packing box 4, it enters the bracket on the outlet side. When the bundled material 5 passes through the pressing block 33 of the first detection mechanism 8 on the bracket, the pressing block 33 transmits the load to the sensor 34 below it, and the sensor 34 transmits the signal to the first pushing mechanism 7. The first pushing mechanism 7 pushes the bundled material 5 along the direction of the first section track 6. At this time, the conveying roller 25 of the first section track 6 is in a stationary state; after the bundled material 5 is pushed to a fixed displacement, the sensor 34 below the pressing block 33 of the second detection mechanism 9 at the head of the first section track 6 obtains the pressure signal of the arrival of the bundled material 5, and the sensor 34 transmits the signal to the driving motor 26 of the first section track 6. At this time, the first pushing mechanism 7 will gradually retract to the original position and wait The next bundle of materials 5 is moved forward, and at the same time, the driving motor 26 of the first track 6 is started to provide power for the conveying rollers 25 of the first track 6. The conveying rollers 25 of the first track 6 change from a stationary state to a rotating state, and the bundle of materials 5 obtains a forward speed and gradually moves forward; after the bundle of materials 5 reaches the pressing block 33 of the third detection mechanism 10 at the tail of the first track 6, the sensor 34 under the pressing block 33 obtains a pressure signal of the arrival of the bundle of materials 5. At this time, the driving motor 26 of the first track 6 is turned off, and the conveying rollers 25 of the first track 6 change from a rotating state to a stationary state, so that the bundle of materials 5 on the first track 6 is in a stationary state, and at the same time, the second pushing mechanism 11 pushes the bundle of materials 5 from the first track 6 to the first intermediate track 12.

[0061] After the bundled material 5 enters the first intermediate track 12, the sensor 34 below the pressing block 33 of the fourth detection mechanism 13 at the head of the first intermediate track 12 obtains the pressure signal of the bundled material 5 arriving. At this time, the second pushing mechanism 11 will gradually retract to the original position to wait for the next bundled material 5. At the same time, the driving motor 26 of the first intermediate track 12 is started, and the conveying roller 25 of the first intermediate track 12 changes from a stationary state to a rotating state, and the bundled material 5 gains a forward speed and gradually moves forward. After the bundled material 5 reaches the pressing block 33 of the fifth detection mechanism 14 at the tail of the first intermediate track 12, the sensor 34 below the pressing block 33 obtains the pressure signal of the bundled material 5 arriving. At this time, the driving motor 26 of the first intermediate track 12 is turned off, and the conveying roller 25 of the first intermediate track 12 changes from a rotating state to a stationary state, so that the bundled material 5 on the first intermediate track 12 is in a stationary state. At the same time, the third pushing mechanism 15 on one side of the tail of the first intermediate track 12 pushes the bundled material 5 from the first intermediate track 12 to the second intermediate track 16.

[0062] After the bundled material 5 enters the second intermediate track 16, the sensor 34 below the pressure block 33 of the sixth detection mechanism 17 at the head of the second intermediate track 16 obtains a pressure signal of the arrival of the bundled material 5. At this time, the third pushing mechanism 15 on the tail side of the first intermediate track 12 will gradually retract to the original position to wait for the next bundled material 5. At the same time, the driving motor 26 of the second intermediate track 16 is started, and the conveying roller 25 of the second intermediate track 16 changes from a stationary state to a rotating state, and the bundled material 5 gains a forward speed and gradually moves forward. After the bundled material 5 reaches the pressing block 33 of the seventh detection mechanism 18 at the tail end of the second intermediate track 16, the sensor 34 below the pressing block 33 obtains a pressure signal indicating the arrival of the bundled material 5. At this time, the driving motor 26 of the second intermediate track 16 is turned off, and the conveying roller 25 of the second intermediate track 16 changes from a rotating state to a stationary state, so that the bundled material 5 on the second intermediate track 16 is in a stationary state. At the same time, the third pushing mechanism 15 on one side of the tail end of the second intermediate track 16 pushes the bundled material 5 from the second intermediate track 16 to the third intermediate track 19.

[0063] The transport mode of the bundled materials 5 on the third intermediate section track 19 is the same as that on the second intermediate section track 16 , until the third pushing mechanism 15 on the tail side of the third intermediate section track 19 pushes the bundled materials 5 from the third intermediate section track 19 to the tail section track 22 .

[0064] After the bundled material 5 enters the last track 22, the sensor 34 below the pressing block 33 of the tenth detection mechanism 23 at the head of the last track 22 obtains the pressure signal of the arrival of the bundled material 5. At this time, the third pushing mechanism 15 at the tail side of the third intermediate track 19 will gradually retract to the original position to wait for the next bundled material 5. At the same time, the driving motor 26 of the last track 22 is started, and the conveying roller 25 of the last track 22 changes from a stationary state to a rotating state. The bundled material 5 gains a forward speed and gradually moves forward, and finally reaches the processing device of the bundled material 5. Then the driving motor 26 of the last track 22 is turned off, and the conveying roller 25 of the last track 22 changes from a rotating state to a stationary state.

[0065] The storage mode is: the bundled materials 5 pass through the first track 6, several middle tracks (three middle tracks are provided in this embodiment, namely the first middle track 12, the second middle track 16, and the third middle track 19), and the last track 22 in sequence.

[0066] After the bundled material 5 passes through the outlet of the material packaging box 4, it enters the bracket on the outlet side. When the bundled material 5 passes through the pressure block 33 of the first detection mechanism 8 on the bracket, the pressure block 33 transfers the load to the sensor 34 below it, and the sensor 34 transmits the signal to the first pushing mechanism 7. The first pushing mechanism 7 pushes the bundled material 5 along the direction of the first section track 6. At this time, the conveying roller 25 of the first section track 6 is in a stationary state; after the bundled material 5 is pushed and fixed, the sensor 34 below the pressure block 33 of the second detection mechanism 9 at the head of the first section track 6 obtains the pressure signal of the arrival of the bundled material 5, and the sensor 34 transmits the signal to the driving motor 26 of the first section track 6. At this time, the first pushing mechanism 7 will gradually retract to the original position to wait for the next bundled material 5. At the same time, the driving motor 26 of the first section track 6 is started to provide power for the conveying roller 25 of the first section track 6. The conveying roller 25 of the first section track 6 changes from a stationary state to a rotating state, and the bundled material 5 obtains a forward speed and gradually moves forward. After moving a fixed distance (this fixed distance is the dimension of the bundled material 5 along the first track 6, and sufficient space is reserved for the next bundled material 5), the sensor 34 at the head of the first track 6 loses the pressure signal of the bundled material 5 arriving, and the drive motor 26 of the first track 6 is turned off, and the conveying roller 25 of the first track 6 changes from the rotating state to the static state, and the bundled material 5 will be in a static state. After the new bundled material 5 enters the first track 6, the sensor 34 at the head of the first track 6 obtains the pressure signal of the bundled material 5 arriving again, and at this time, the number of bundled materials 5 on the first track 6 is more than one. According to this relationship, the number of bundled materials 5 on the first track 6 gradually increases. When a bundle of materials 5 reaches the pressing block 33 of the third detection mechanism 10 at the tail end of the first track section 6, the sensor 34 below the pressing block 33 obtains a pressure signal of the arrival of the bundle of materials 5. At this time, the driving motor 26 of the first track section 6 is turned off, and the conveying roller 25 of the first track section 6 changes from a rotating state to a stationary state, so that the bundle of materials 5 on the first track section 6 is in a stationary state. At the same time, the second pushing mechanism 11 pushes the bundle of materials 5 from the first track section 6 to the first intermediate track section 12.

[0067] After the bundled material 5 enters the first intermediate track 12, the sensor 34 under the pressing block 33 of the fourth detection mechanism 13 at the head of the first intermediate track 12 obtains the pressure signal of the bundled material 5 arriving. At this time, the second pushing mechanism 11 will gradually retract to the original position to wait for the next bundled material 5. At the same time, the driving motor 26 of the first intermediate track 12 is started, and the conveying roller 25 of the first intermediate track 12 changes from a stationary state to a rotating state, and the bundled material 5 gains a forward speed and gradually moves forward. After moving a fixed distance (this fixed distance is the dimension of the bundled material 5 along the first intermediate track 12, and sufficient space is reserved for the next bundled material 5), after the sensor 34 at the head of the first intermediate track 12 loses the pressure signal of the bundled material 5 arriving, the driving motor 26 of the first intermediate track 12 is turned off, and the conveying roller 25 of the first intermediate track 12 changes from a rotating state to a stationary state, and the bundled material 5 will be in a stationary state. After the new bundle of materials 5 enters the first intermediate track 12, the sensor 34 at the head of the first intermediate track 12 obtains the pressure signal of the bundle of materials 5 arriving again. At this time, the number of bundles of materials 5 on the first intermediate track 12 is more than one. According to this relationship, the number of bundles of materials 5 on the first intermediate track 12 gradually increases. When a bundle of materials 5 reaches the pressing block 33 of the fifth detection mechanism 14 at the tail of the first intermediate track 12, the sensor 34 below the pressing block 33 obtains the pressure signal of the bundle of materials 5 arriving. At this time, the driving motor 26 of the first intermediate track 12 is turned off, and the conveying roller 25 of the first intermediate track 12 changes from a rotating state to a stationary state, so that the bundle of materials 5 on the first intermediate track 12 is in a stationary state. At the same time, the third pushing mechanism 15 on one side of the tail of the first intermediate track 12 pushes the bundle of materials 5 from the first intermediate track 12 to the second intermediate track 16.

[0068] After the bundled material 5 enters the second intermediate track 16, the sensor 34 below the pressing block 33 of the sixth detection mechanism 17 at the head of the second intermediate track 16 obtains the pressure signal of the bundled material 5 arriving. At this time, the third pushing mechanism 15 at the tail side of the first intermediate track 12 will gradually retract to the original position to wait for the next bundled material 5. At the same time, the driving motor 26 of the second intermediate track 16 is started, and the conveying roller 25 of the second intermediate track 16 changes from a stationary state to a rotating state, and the bundled material 5 gains a forward speed and gradually moves forward. After moving a fixed distance (this fixed distance is the dimension of the bundled material 5 along the second intermediate track 16, and sufficient space is reserved for the next bundled material 5), after the sensor 34 at the head of the second intermediate track 16 loses the pressure signal of the bundled material 5 arriving, the driving motor 26 of the second intermediate track 16 is turned off, and the conveying roller 25 of the second intermediate track 16 changes from a rotating state to a stationary state, and the bundled material 5 on the second intermediate track 16 will be in a stationary state. After the new bundle of materials 5 enters the second intermediate track 16, the sensor 34 at the head of the second intermediate track 16 again obtains the pressure signal of the bundle of materials 5 arriving. At this time, the number of bundles of materials 5 on the second intermediate track 16 is more than one. According to this relationship, the number of bundles of materials 5 on the second intermediate track 16 gradually increases. When a bundle of materials 5 reaches the pressing block 33 of the seventh detection mechanism 18 at the tail of the second intermediate track 16, the sensor 34 below the pressing block 33 obtains the pressure signal of the bundle of materials 5 arriving. At this time, the driving motor 26 of the second intermediate track 16 is turned off, and the conveying roller 25 of the second intermediate track 16 changes from a rotating state to a stationary state, so that the bundle of materials 5 on the second intermediate track 16 is in a stationary state. At the same time, the third pushing mechanism 15 on one side of the tail of the second intermediate track 16 pushes the bundle of materials 5 from the second intermediate track 16 to the third intermediate track 19.

[0069] The transport mode of the bundled materials 5 on the third intermediate section track 19 is the same as that on the second intermediate section track 16 , until the third pushing mechanism 15 on the tail side of the third intermediate section track 19 pushes the bundled materials 5 from the third intermediate section track 19 to the tail section track 22 .

[0070] After the bundled material 5 enters the last track 22, the sensor 34 under the pressing block 33 of the tenth detection mechanism 23 at the head of the last track 22 obtains the pressure signal of the bundled material 5 arriving. At this time, the third pushing mechanism 15 on the tail side of the third intermediate track 19 will gradually retract to the original position to wait for the next bundled material 5. At the same time, the driving motor 26 of the last track 22 is started, and the conveying roller 25 of the last track 22 changes from a stationary state to a rotating state, and the bundled material 5 gains a forward speed and gradually moves forward. The bundled material 5 moves a fixed distance along the direction of the last track 22, leaving enough space for the next bundled material 5. New bundled materials 5 are continuously pushed from the third intermediate track 19 to the last track 22 by the third pushing mechanism 15 on the tail side of the third intermediate track 19. According to this relationship, the number of bundled materials 5 on the last track 22 gradually increases.

[0071] When the last track 22 has a certain number of bundles 5, there are enough bundles 5 on the entire circular track 1. After the processing device is in place, the transportation mode will be started so that the processing device can process as many bundles 5 as possible in the shortest time. In this way, the circular track for transporting bundles of materials 5 has two working modes: transportation and storage, which enriches the processing methods of bundles of materials 5, and can be switched freely according to the physical properties of the bundles of materials 5, reducing the waiting time of the processing device and improving the working efficiency.

[0072] In summary, the bag storage mode of the circular track 1 for transporting bundled materials 5 of the present invention is a segmented transportation mode. When the bundled materials 5 arrive at the track, the power device of the track is started. After entering the next track, the power device is shut down, which saves energy, reduces track wear, and increases the service life of the track.

[0073] The circular track 1 for conveying bundled materials 5 is controlled by a pressure sensor 34 to adapt to complex environments such as different light, temperature, humidity, salinity, etc., especially for aquatic plants, the influence of plant debris, straw, etc. is greatly reduced, and the sensor 34 is protected by a pressure block 33, which only transmits downward load, thereby improving the use effect of the sensor 34 and greatly improving the accuracy of the overall operation.

[0074] The bag transport and bag pushing process of the circular track 1 for transporting bundled materials 5 of the present invention is simple and efficient, and the mechanization and automation have good effects, which greatly reduces the labor intensity, can realize unmanned operation, and significantly improves the safety performance.
