Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water conservancy engineering technology, and more specifically, to a tree branch retrieval device for water conservancy projects. Background Technology

[0002] China is a vast country with numerous rivers. Many trees are planted along the riverbanks. During their growth, some branches of these trees fall into the water and drift downstream with the river's flow. This can cause the river to become blocked by branches, leading to dam failure.

[0003] The current solution is to manually salvage the branches. However, searching and salvaging the entire river would require a significant amount of time and manpower. Furthermore, salvaging only downstream would not guarantee the flow of the entire river, as the branches might accumulate in a narrow spot in the middle reaches. Summary of the Invention

[0004] As river water flows, wind forces on the river surface generate waves, which push objects on the river surface towards the riverbank. Therefore, tree branches often drift along the riverbank during river flow. This application designs a tree branch retrieval device for hydraulic engineering. This device can be placed on the bank of various sections of the river to retrieve tree branches, thus solving the aforementioned problem.

[0005] The current solution is to manually retrieve tree branches from the river periodically. However, searching and retrieving branches from the entire river would require a significant amount of time and manpower. Furthermore, retrieving branches only from the downstream section cannot guarantee the smooth flow of the entire river, as the branches may accumulate in a narrow spot in the middle of the river.

[0006] A tree branch harvesting device for water conservancy projects includes a feeding assembly and a crushing device. The crushing device is installed on a riverbank, with an installation plate mounted on the side of the crushing device closest to the riverbank. The other side of the installation plate is connected to the riverbank. A collection bin is provided at the bottom of the crushing device. The feeding assembly is installed at the upstream end of the crushing device and includes a waterproof plate.

A connecting rod connects each group of inclined blocks and movable teeth. A spring is fitted around the outside of the connecting rod, and the two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the movable tooth and the inner wall of the inlet and outlet.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a second control component, which includes a control gear located on one side of the control panel.

[0017] Beneficial effects

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are:

[0019] 1. The invention has a clever structure that can be set up in various river basins and automatically collect tree branches over a long period of time, providing comprehensive protection for the river, reducing the probability of river blockage, and saving manpower.

[0020] 2. The movable component of the present invention can drive the movable feed wheel to move, thereby changing the distance between the fixed feed wheel and the movable feed wheel. In this way, the distance between the fixed feed wheel and the movable feed wheel can be adjusted according to the size of the surrounding trees in different river areas, improving the collection efficiency and expanding the application range of the product.

[0021] 3. This invention achieves the opening and closing of the crushing device as branches enter and exit through the combined action of multiple control components. In this way, the crushing device stops working when no branches enter, and only the feeding component works normally, which can greatly save resources.

[0022] 4. During the operation of the crushing device, there may be a situation where the two crushing rollers clamp and lift the branches. At this time, the crushing device still needs to continue to work, but the branches have already detached from the inside of the feeding component. This problem can be solved by designing the control groove far away from the bottom of the lifting cylinder. The bottom space of the lifting cylinder is sufficient, which means that the lifting block can descend a large amount of space. At this time, even if the branches detach from the feeding component, it will still take a certain amount of time for the lifting block to return to its position. This time is enough for the crushing device to crush the branches. Attached Figure Description

[0039] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "sleeved / connected," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1-11. A tree branch retrieval device for water conservancy projects includes a feeding assembly 1 and a crushing device 6. The crushing device 6 is installed on the riverbank, with an mounting plate 8 installed on the side of the crushing device 6 near the riverbank. The other side of the mounting plate 8 is connected to the riverbank (the crushing device 6 is connected to the riverbank via the mounting plate 8). A collection bin 9 is provided at the bottom of the crushing device 6. The feeding assembly 1 is installed at the upstream end of the crushing device 6 and includes a waterproof plate 101. The waterproof plate 101 is installed on top of the crushing device 6 near the upstream end of the water flow, and a rotatable... The fixed feed wheel 102 and the movable feed wheel 103 are provided. The bottom of the movable feed wheel 103 is provided with a water wheel 104. The bottom of the fixed feed wheel 102 and the movable feed wheel 103 is provided with a baffle. The water wheel 104 is located below the baffle. This maintains the function of the water wheel 104 in moving the water flow and prevents the branches from getting stuck with the water wheel 104. The bottom of the fixed feed wheel 102 is fixedly connected to the top output end of the motor 7. The motor 7 is threadedly installed on the side of the mounting plate 8 away from the riverbank. The crushing device 6 is set slightly at an angle to facilitate the branches to enter the crushing device 6 from the feeding assembly 1.

[0041] Please see Figure 11The entire device is positioned below the water surface, with the fixed feed wheel 102 and the movable feed wheel 103 located on the surface. The continuous rotation of these two wheels influences the water flow, causing some surface water to flow towards the center of the two wheels. Since the branches are generally long and narrow, they tend to move with the current, further driving them towards the center of the two wheels. Installing a waterwheel 104 at the bottom of the movable feed wheel 103, away from the riverbank, further expands the device's coverage area and improves branch collection. The branches are collected by the fixed and movable feed wheels 102 and are then crushed and stored in the collection chamber, awaiting removal by staff.

[0042] Please see Figure 1-4As one embodiment of this invention, it also includes a movable component 2, which includes a fixed plate 201 installed below the waterproof membrane 101. A driving wheel 202 is installed at the top of one end of the fixed plate 201 near the riverbank, and a driven wheel 203 is installed at the top of the other end. A slot is formed in the center of the top of the fixed plate 201, and a movable plate 204 is movably fitted inside the slot. A sliding rod 205 is threaded through the interior of the movable plate 204. Both ends of the sliding rod 205 are rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the slot, with the end of the sliding rod 205 near the driven wheel 203. A spring 206 is fitted on the outer side. One end of the spring 206 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 204, and the other end is fixedly connected to the slot. The spring has a large elastic coefficient. When there are no branches to feed, the spring 206 is in a relaxed state. At this time, the distance between the fixed feed wheel 102 and the movable feed wheel 103 is small, allowing small branches to enter. When the diameters of the two ends of the branch are different or the branch is large, the thrust of the branch on the fixed feed wheel 102 and the movable feed wheel 103 increases. The spring 206 contracts, driving the movable plate 204 to move, which in turn drives the movable feed wheel 103 to move, automatically changing the position of the fixed plate 204. The distance between the fixed feed roller 102 and the movable feed roller 103; a movable roller 207 and two guide rollers 208 are connected to the top of the movable plate 204. The two guide rollers 208 are located on both sides of the movable roller 207. The shafts of the driving roller 202, the driven roller 203, and the movable roller 207 are on the same straight line. The driving roller 202, the driven roller 203, the movable roller 207, and the guide rollers 208 are driven by a belt 209. The driving roller 202, the driven roller 203, and the guide rollers 208 are in frictional contact with the inner side of the belt 209, and the movable roller 207 is in frictional contact with the outer side of the belt 209. When the driving wheel 202 rotates, the driven wheel 203, the movable wheel 207, and the guide wheel 208 all rotate under the drive of the belt 209. Moreover, no matter how the position of the movable plate 204 changes, the rotation of the driving wheel 202, the driven wheel 203, the movable wheel 207, and the guide wheel 208 is not affected. Since the driving wheel 202 is located inside the belt 209 and the movable wheel 207 is located outside the belt, their rotation directions are opposite, which can drive the fixed feed wheel 102 and the movable feed wheel 103 to rotate in opposite directions, thereby achieving the purpose of holding the branches inside and moving them in the same direction.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the active rotating wheel 202 is coaxially connected to the fixed feeding wheel 102. The active rotating wheel 202 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 7. The movable rotating wheel 207 is coaxially connected to the movable feeding wheel 103. Since the active rotating wheel 202 and the movable rotating wheel 207 rotate in opposite directions, the fixed feeding wheel 102 and the movable feeding wheel 103 rotate in opposite directions. The two drive the water flow towards the center. A waterproof groove 105 is provided on the waterproof plate 101 below the movable feeding wheel 103. A baffle plate 106 is movably fitted inside the waterproof groove 105. The baffle plate 106 moves synchronously with the movable feeding wheel 103. The surface area of ​​the baffle plate 106 is much larger than the surface area of ​​the groove on the surface of 101 that facilitates the movement of the bottom shaft of the movable feeding wheel 103. Therefore, no matter how the movable feeding wheel 103 moves, the baffle plate 106 always completely covers the groove. This design can prevent river water from flowing into the device and improve the life of the device.

[0044] The movable component 2 of the present invention can drive the movable feed wheel 103 to move. When the diameters at both ends of the branch are different or the branch is large, the thrust of the branch on the fixed feed wheel 102 and the movable feed wheel 103 increases. The spring 206 contracts and drives the moving plate 204 to move, which in turn drives the movable feed wheel 103 to move. This automatically changes the distance between the fixed feed wheel 102 and the movable feed wheel 103, which can cope with the situation where the size of the branches on the river surface varies.

[0045] As one embodiment of this invention, a control component 5 is also included. The control component 5 includes a driven gear 508, a transmission gear 509, and a driving gear 510. The driving gear 510 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 7. The transmission gear 509 meshes with the driving gear 510, and the driven gear 508 meshes with the transmission gear 509. The driving gear 510, the transmission gear 509, the driven gear 508, and the lifting cylinder 402 are arranged at the four corners of the quadrilateral. The transmission gear 509 and the lifting cylinder 402 are distributed at an oblique angle to prevent the lifting cylinder 402 from obstructing the transmission between the driving gear 510 and the driven gear 508. The bottom of the driven gear 508 is coaxially connected to a first bevel gear 506.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the crushing device 6 has two crushing rollers 601 installed inside. Each crushing roller 601 is connected to a connecting gear 602 at one end near the feeding component 1. The two connecting gears 602 mesh with each other. One of the connecting gears 602 is coaxially connected to a second bevel gear 603. The second bevel gear 603 meshes with the bevel gear 506 for transmission.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a control component 3 is also included. The control component 3 includes a control disk 301, which is mounted on the bottom of the fixed feed wheel 102. An inflatable wheel 107 is sleeved on the outer side of the fixed feed wheel 102. A cylindrical groove is formed on the top of the control disk 301, and a stop block 302 is provided inside the groove. The stop block 302 fits tightly with the cylindrical groove, preventing gas from escaping from the edge of the stop block 302. The top of the cylindrical groove communicates with the interior of the inflatable wheel 107. A disc groove is also formed at the bottom of the cylindrical groove of the control disk 301. The control panel 301 has several inlets and outlets 303 on its edge. Movable teeth 304 are provided inside the inlets and outlets 303, with the tips of the movable teeth 304 facing outward from the inlets and outlets 303. The center of the disc groove is provided with inclined blocks 305 corresponding to the number of movable teeth 304. The closest inclined blocks 305 and movable teeth 304 are grouped together. A connecting rod 306 is connected between each group of inclined blocks 305 and movable teeth 304. A spring 307 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 306. The two ends of the spring 307 are connected to the movable teeth 304 and the inner wall of the inlets and outlets 303, respectively. When the feeding assembly 1 starts working, the branch passes between the fixed feeding wheel 102 and the movable feeding wheel 103 and squeezes the air-filled wheel 107. At this time, part of the gas inside the air-filled wheel 107 flows into the cylindrical groove and squeezes the abutment block 302 downward. The abutment block 302 squeezes the inclined block 305, causing the inclined block 305 to move outward and push the movable tooth 304 out of the inlet and outlet 303. When the branch is removed from the feeding assembly 1, the air-filled wheel 107 returns to its original state and the movable tooth 304 retracts into the control panel 301.

[0048] As a preferred embodiment of this example, a second control component 4 is also included. The second control component 4 includes a control gear 401, which is located on one side of the control disk 301. When the movable tooth 304 is inside the control disk 301, the control disk 301 and the control gear 401 do not contact each other. When the movable tooth 304 extends out of the control disk 301, the control disk 301 and the control gear 401 mesh and drive each other. A lifting cylinder 402 is connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 201. A threaded rod 403 is connected to the bottom of the control gear 401, and the threaded rod 403 is located at the central axis position inside the lifting cylinder 402. A lifting block 404 is threaded on the outer side of the threaded rod 403. A slot 405 corresponding to the lifting block 404 is provided inside the lifting cylinder 402. A spring 406 is provided at the bottom of the lifting cylinder 402. The inside of the spring 406 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded rod 403, and the outside of the spring 406 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting cylinder 402.

[0049] Normally, the control gear 401 is stationary, and the lifting block 404 is at its highest position. When the movable gear 304 is pushed out from inside the control disk 301, the two mesh and drive each other, causing the control gear 401 to rotate. The threaded rod 403 rotates accordingly, driving the lifting block 404 to descend. When the movable gear 304 retracts into the control disk 301, the control disk 301 disengages from the control gear 401, and the threaded rod 403 springs back under the action of the spring 406, returning the lifting block 404 to its original position.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a control groove 407 is provided on the side of the lifting cylinder 402 near the crushing device 6, and a lever 408 is fixedly connected to the side of the lifting block 404 near the crushing device 6.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the third control component 5 further includes an inner rod 501. The inner rod 501 is connected to the outer side of the lifting cylinder 402 via fixed bearings 507 at both ends. A sleeve 502 is fitted on the outer side of the inner rod 501. A lifting groove is provided on the outer side of the inner rod 501. A locking slot corresponding to the lifting groove is provided inside the sleeve 502. The sleeve 502 can rise and fall at the lifting groove. The friction between the inner rod 501 and the sleeve 502 is large, so the sleeve 502 will not slip naturally under the action of gravity. The first bevel gear 506 is fixedly fitted on the outer side of the sleeve 502. A movable locking piece 503 is movably connected to the outer side of the bottom end of the sleeve 502. A movable plate 504 is fixedly provided on the side of the movable locking piece 503 near the control groove 407. A fixed rod 409 is fixedly provided inside the control groove 407. A long groove 505 is provided inside the movable plate 504. The fixed rod 409 passes through the long groove 505.

[0052] Please see Figure 6 , 8 The crushing device 6 of the present invention operates synchronously with the feeding assembly 1. When the motor 7 starts, the fixed feeding wheel 102 and the movable feeding wheel 103 start to rotate and feed. At this time, the driving gear 510, the transmission gear 509 and the driven gear 508 mesh and drive the bevel gear 506 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 603 to rotate. At this time, the crushing roller 601 rotates synchronously. When the river flow is slow or when the trees are growing vigorously in spring and summer and fewer branches fall, this device can operate intermittently to save resources.

[0053] Please see Figure 7-10When a branch passes between the feed wheels, the lifting block 404 descends under the action of the control gear 401, the lever 408 moves the movable plate 504 downward, and the sleeve 502 is lifted under the action of the fixed rod 409. The first bevel gear 506 meshes with the second bevel gear 603, and the included angle between the first bevel gear 506 and the second bevel gear 603 is 70°-80°. The crushing device 6 starts to work. When the branch is removed from between the feed wheels, the lifting block 404 returns to its original position. At the same time, the lever 408 moves the movable plate 504 upward, the sleeve 502 descends under the action of the fixed rod 409, the first bevel gear 506 disengages from the second bevel gear 603, and the crushing device 6 stops working.

[0054] This invention achieves the opening and closing of the crushing device 6 as branches enter and exit through the combined action of multiple control components. In this way, the crushing device stops working when no branches enter, and only the feeding component 1 works normally, which can greatly save resources.

[0055] The control slot 407 is located below the normal position of the lifting block 404. A spring plate 410 is positioned at the bottom of the threaded rod 403, above the spring 406, at a certain distance from the bottom of the lifting cylinder 402. The outer surface of the threaded rod 403 above the spring plate 410 is smooth and unthreaded, and the unthreaded height is equal to the height of the lower lifting block 404. During the operation of the crushing device 6, it is possible that the two crushing rollers 601 may clamp and lift the branches. In this case, the crushing device 6 still needs to continue operating, but the branches have already detached from the feeding assembly 1. Designing the control slot 407 away from the bottom of the lifting cylinder 402 can solve this problem. The bottom space of the lifting cylinder 402 is sufficient, which means that the lifting block 404 can descend a large portion of the space. At this time, even if the branch is detached from the feeding assembly 1, it will still take a certain amount of time for the lifting block 404 to return to its original position. This time is sufficient for the crushing device 6 to crush the branch. When the branch is very long or the branch is fed for a long time and the lifting block 404 does not have time to return to its original position, the lifting block 404 will contact the spring plate 410 on the bottom surface. The lifting block 404 will press against the spring plate 410 and be in the unthreaded area. At this time, the lifting block 404 will not continue to descend. When there is no branch feeding, the lifting block 404 will re-engage with the threaded rod 403 under the action of the spring plate 410 to achieve reset.

[0056] The lifting cylinder 402 is located below the control slot 407 and has a groove with a friction plate 412 inside. The side of the friction plate 412 near the outer edge of the lifting cylinder 402 is in frictional contact with the lifting plate 411. The top of the lifting plate 411 is connected to the long slot 505 by a straight rod. When the lifting block 404 moves to the bottom of the control slot 407, the lever 408 will abut against the friction plate 412, and the friction plate 412 will abut against the lifting plate 411, preventing the lifting plate from moving freely. This fixes the movable plate 504 and prevents it from moving under gravity, which could cause the first bevel gear 506 and the second bevel gear 603 to disengage.
