Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, and in particular to a front-mounted grapevine support device. Background Technology

[0002] In northern my country, grape cultivation is widespread, and the cold, dry winters make grapevines susceptible to wind damage and frost damage. When winter arrives, farmers prune the grapevines and remove them from the trellis for winter protection, often covering them with soil to ensure their survival through the winter.

[0003] In spring, grapevines need to be uprooted and trellised. Uprooting requires manual labor to straighten the vines and then tie them to the wires of the trellis. Because this process requires manual uprooting, it involves a lot of bending over in a short period, and the efficiency decreases as the work continues. Currently, there is no agricultural machinery available on the market specifically for uprooting grapevines. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the current lack of machinery for supporting grapevines in spring in vineyards, this invention patent designs a tractor-mounted front-mounted grapevine finger-supporting device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0014] The actuator is partially engaged within the spatial slide of the transmission system and is used to support the grapevine.

[0015] The actuator part is a rod-shaped structure that slides within the spatial slide of the transmission system part when it rotates along the horizontal axis.

[0016] The actuator part extends and retracts as the tracked cylinder rotates; under the control of the spatial slide groove, the actuator part extends when it rotates to the lowest point and retracts when it rotates to the highest point.

[0116] The inner and outer surfaces of the top of the rail cylinder are both equipped with thrust ball bearings, which are used together for axial positioning of the rail cylinder.

[0117] The bearing end cap is installed at the end of the central fixed shaft and is used to position the bearing.

[0118] Based on the above scheme, two slide rails are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the tracked cylinder for axial sliding of the finger.

[0119] Based on the above solutions, such as Figures 5 to 7 :

[0120] The actuator includes: a rotor, a shift finger, and a rubber roller;

[0121] The dial finger is installed inside the track on the inner wall of the rail cylinder;

[0122] One end of the lever is a round rod, and the other end is a square rod; the end of the round rod of the lever is bent down, and a rubber roller is installed on the bent end;

[0125] The rotor is installed at the end of the square rod; one end of the rotor is connected to the end of the square rod of the shift finger, and the other end is placed in the groove of the spatial slide.

[0126] The spatial slide and the central fixed shaft are fixed in place, while the tracked cylinder rotates around the central fixed shaft under the drive of the driven gear disk;

[0127] During rotation, the rotor slides along the groove on the spatial slide, thereby driving the shift finger in the track cylinder to slide along the track inside the track cylinder, thus realizing the action of the shift finger rotating and extending at the same time.

[0129] The axial span of the groove on the spatial slide is the extension length of the finger.

[0130] The timing of the extension and retraction of the lever can be controlled by changing the installation angle of the spatial slide and controlling the relative position of the groove. The downward-folded end of the lever is used to position the grapevine during the erection process, preventing it from slipping to the side along the pole during the lifting process; in addition, when the lever moves to the near-ground end, its downward-folded end can reduce the gap between the pole and the ground, thereby allowing for more accurate insertion into the lower part of the vine.

[0131] The general working process of this invention is as follows: Before operation, the device is fixedly installed on the counterweight bracket at the front of the tractor, and the control unit is connected to the tractor's power supply. The tractor is driven to a suitable position between rows, and the hydraulic cylinder is adjusted to place the main frame at an appropriate height. During operation, the tractor drives the device forward, the control system switch is turned on, and the stepper motor starts at its initial speed, driving the tracked cylinder to rotate. The rotor of the shift finger slides along the groove of the spatial slide, thereby driving the shift finger to slide within the track of the tracked cylinder, achieving the effect of the shift finger extending and rotating simultaneously with the rotation of the tracked cylinder. Under the control of the spatial slide groove, the shift finger can extend when it is about to reach the lowest point and retract when it is about to reach the highest point. In this way, the shift finger can insert into the lower part of the grapevine at the lowest point to lift the grapevine; and retract at the highest point to release the grapevine; thus completing the mechanized operation of supporting the grapevine.

[0132] The fixing method described in this invention can be either bolt fixing or welding fixing.

[0133] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a tractor, wherein a control handle is installed in the tractor cab, and the control handle is equipped with a control button for the working state of the hydraulic cylinder and a knob for controlling the speed of the motor; the front counterweight bracket of the tractor is fixedly connected to the aforementioned front-mounted grapevine finger support device.

Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the essence and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions also fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of patent protection of the present invention should be defined by the claims.
