Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pineapple harvesting, and in particular to a pineapple harvesting device comprising a double-row chain-type seedling supporter and a double-axis stem pulling roller group. Background Art

[0002] At present, the mechanization and automation level of pineapple harvesting is low, and most pineapples are harvested manually, which is inefficient, slow, and labor-intensive. There are relatively few mechanized equipment for pineapple harvesting, and most of them are complex in structure, high in cost, and poor in versatility. They are difficult to adapt to various harvesting environments and difficult to achieve batch harvesting.

[0003] In large-scale pineapple planting areas, large-scale pineapple picking equipment is often used, and the equipment usually harvests multiple rows of pineapples at the same time in one trip. During the growth process of pineapples, not all pineapple fruits grow in a normal posture. For such pineapple fruits growing in an abnormal posture, the angle of the cutter is usually adjusted to adapt to the posture of the pineapple fruit. However, due to large-scale picking, the pineapple fruits entering the cutter at the same time cannot be guaranteed to have the same posture. Therefore, some pineapple fruits may be missed during the picking process, or the pineapple fruits may be damaged during the picking process, making it difficult to ensure the picking quality. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems and provide a pineapple harvesting device with a double-row chain seedling supporter and a double-axis stem pulling roller group. The pineapple harvesting device can straighten normally growing or lodged pineapple fruits and push them into the openings of the double-axis stem pulling roller group through the chain seedling supporter, and separate the pineapple fruits from the plants through the double-axis stem pulling roller group, thereby achieving the harvesting of pineapples and ensuring the harvesting quality.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A pineapple harvesting device with a double-row chain-type seedling supporter and a double-axis stem pulling roller group, comprising a harvesting mechanism,

[0007] The harvesting mechanism is installed on the high-bed working machine through a lifting device; the harvesting mechanism includes a mounting frame, two rows of harvesting modules arranged on the mounting frame, and a conveying mechanism arranged between the two rows of harvesting modules for conveying the harvested pineapple fruits to the high-bed working machine; wherein,

[0008] Each row of the harvesting modules includes a chain seedling supporter for straightening pineapple fruits in different postures, a double-axis stem pulling roller group for separating pineapple fruits from plants, a fruit blocking plate arranged on the outside of the double-axis stem pulling roller group, and a driving mechanism for driving the double-axis stem pulling roller group to move; wherein, a power transmission mechanism for transmitting the power of the double-axis stem pulling roller group to the chain seedling supporter is provided between the double-axis stem pulling roller group and the chain seedling supporter.

[0009] The working principle of the pineapple harvesting device with double-row chain-type seedling support and double-axis stem pulling roller group is as follows:

[0010] In the pineapple field, first adjust the height of the harvesting mechanism from the ground and the angle of inclination to the ground through the lifting device according to the actual height of the pineapple fruits and the undulations of the ground, so that it reaches the appropriate height and angle for harvesting the pineapple fruits, avoiding collision with ground obstacles and damaging the pineapple fruits. When the high-bed operating machine is moving forward, the driving mechanism will drive the double-axis stem-pulling roller group to move, and under the action of the power transmission mechanism, the chain seedling supporter will also move and enter the working state; as the high-bed operating machine moves forward, the corresponding pineapple plants will enter the two rows of chain seedling supporters, and the fallen pineapple plants will be straightened to keep the pineapple plants upright. Under the action of the chain seedling supporter and the continuous movement of the high-bed operating machine, the pineapple plants will enter the double-axis stem-pulling roller group. Under the squeezing and pulling of the double-axis stem-pulling roller group, the stems of the pineapple plants will be broken, and the pineapple fruits will be separated from the pineapple plants. Under the obstruction of the fruit blocking plate, the pineapple fruits cannot move outward, but will move inward and fall onto the conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism transports the pineapple fruits to the high-bed operating machine for collection.

[0011] A preferred embodiment of the present invention, wherein the double-axis stem pulling roller group includes two stem pulling rollers rotatably arranged on a mounting frame, the two stem pulling rollers are distributed in a V-shape, and the space between the two stem pulling rollers forms a V-shaped opening; the driving mechanism is connected to the rear ends of the two stem pulling rollers, and the two stem pulling rollers rotate in opposite directions. In the above structure, the chain seedling supporter will lift up the normally growing or fallen pineapple plants, and push the pineapple plants to the middle of the two stem pulling rollers. As the high bed operating machine moves forward, the pineapple plants will enter the front end of the V-shaped opening of the stem pulling roller. As the high bed operating machine continues to move forward, the pineapple plants will enter the rear end of the V-shaped opening. Under the relative rotation of the two stem pulling rollers, the two stem pulling rollers squeeze and pull the stems of the pineapple plants, and the pineapple fruits will be stuck between the two stem pulling rollers. With the squeezing and pulling, the pineapple stems will break and the pineapple fruits will be separated from the plants. The separated pineapple fruits will move to the left and right sides of the stem pulling rollers with the vibration of the high bed operating machine. The pineapples moving outward will be unable to move due to the action of the fruit blocking plate. Therefore, the separated pineapple fruits will move inward and fall into the conveying mechanism, thereby realizing the harvesting of the pineapples.

When the pineapple plant is located at the rear end of the V-shaped opening, the stem pulling plates on the two stem pulling rollers will intermittently engage with each other under the rotation of the stem pulling rollers, and squeeze and pull the stem of the pineapple plant, and the pineapple fruit will be stuck between the two stem pulling rollers. The stem pulling plates at the rear end of the two stem pulling rollers will provide pressure on both sides and downward pulling force to the stem of the pineapple plant. The two stem pulling rollers support the pineapple fruit and provide upward support for the pineapple fruit, while the stem of the pineapple plant provides downward pulling force to the pineapple fruit.

When picking pineapples, the high-bed machine moves forward, and the seedling support chain will lift up the fallen pineapple plants and push them between the two stem-pulling rollers. Specifically, the pineapple plants that are tilted to the left or right will be lifted up by the seedling support parts of the seedling support chain, and continue to provide support on both sides to keep the pineapple plants upright.

[0017] Preferably, the lifting device comprises three lifting hydraulic rods arranged between the frame and the mounting frame, the three lifting hydraulic rods are distributed in a triangular shape, the upper ends of the lifting hydraulic rods are hinged to the frame, and the lower ends are hinged to the mounting frame. Through the telescopic movement of the lifting hydraulic rods, the height of the harvesting mechanism from the ground and the inclination angle with the ground can be adjusted to reach a height and angle suitable for harvesting pineapple fruits, avoiding collision with ground obstacles and damaging the pineapple fruits.

[0018] Preferably, the mounting frame is connected by two pieces of structural steel to form a T-shaped structure, and harvesting support frames are respectively provided on both sides of the mounting frame, and the two rows of harvesting modules are respectively installed on the two harvesting support frames; two L-shaped plates are provided at the front end of the harvesting support frame, and the two L-shaped plates correspond to the two groups of chain seedling supporting assemblies one by one, and the transmission assembly is installed on the L-shaped plate; a guide mounting plate is provided at the front end of each L-shaped plate, and the two guide mounting plates are distributed in a V shape; the driven gear is installed on the guide mounting plate.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 The present embodiment discloses a pineapple harvesting device with a double-row chain-type seedling support and a double-axis stem pulling roller group, including a harvesting mechanism 1, which is installed on a high-bed operating machine 2 through a lifting device 3; the harvesting mechanism 1 includes a mounting frame 4, two rows of harvesting modules 5 arranged on the mounting frame 4, and a conveying mechanism 19 arranged between the two rows of harvesting modules 5 for conveying the harvested pineapple fruits to the high-bed operating machine 2.

[0041] See also Figure 1-Figure 10 The working principle of the pineapple harvesting device with double-row chain-type seedling support and double-axis stem pulling roller group is as follows:

[0042] In the pineapple field, first adjust the height of the harvesting mechanism 1 from the ground and the inclination angle to the ground through the lifting device 3 according to the actual height of the pineapple fruits and the undulation of the ground, so that it reaches a height and angle suitable for harvesting the pineapple fruits, avoiding collision with ground obstacles and damaging the pineapple fruits. When the high bed working machine 2 is moving forward, the driving mechanism 9 will drive the double-axis stem pulling roller group 7 to move, and under the action of the power transmission mechanism, the chain seedling supporter 6 will also move and enter the working state; as the high bed working machine 2 moves forward, the corresponding pineapple plants will enter the two rows of chain seedling supporters 6, and the fallen pineapple plants will be straightened so that the pineapple plants remain upright. Under the action of the chain seedling supporter 6 and the continuous movement of the high bed working machine 2, the pineapple plants will enter the double-axis stem pulling roller group 7. Under the squeezing and pulling of the double-axis stem pulling roller group 7, the stems of the pineapple plants will be broken, and the pineapple fruits will be separated from the pineapple plants. Under the obstruction of the fruit blocking plate 8, the pineapple fruits cannot move outward, and will move inward and fall onto the conveying mechanism 19. The conveying mechanism 19 conveys the pineapple fruits to the high bed working machine 2 for collection.

In the above structure, the chain seedling supporter 6 will lift up the normally growing or fallen pineapple plants, and push the pineapple plants to the middle of the two stem pulling rollers 7-1. As the high bed working machine 2 moves forward, the pineapple plants will enter the front end of the V-shaped opening of the stem pulling roller 7-1. As the high bed working machine 2 continues to move forward, the pineapple plants will enter the rear end of the V-shaped opening. Under the relative rotation of the two stem pulling rollers 7-1, the two stem pulling rollers 7-1 squeeze and pull the stems of the pineapple plants, and the pineapple fruits will be stuck between the two stem pulling rollers 7-1. With the squeezing and pulling, the pineapple stems are broken, and the pineapple fruits are separated from the plants. The separated pineapple fruits will move to the left and right sides of the stem pulling rollers with the vibration of the high bed working machine. The pineapples moving outward will be unable to move due to the action of the fruit blocking plate 8. Therefore, the separated pineapple fruits will move inward and fall into the conveying mechanism 19, thereby realizing the harvesting of the pineapples.

[0044] See also Figure 4-Figure 10 The front end of the stem pulling roller 7-1 is provided with a spiral rubber strip 7-2, and the rear end is provided with a plurality of stem pulling plates 7-3, and the plurality of stem pulling plates 7-3 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction. In the above structure, when the pineapple plant enters the front end of the V-shaped opening of the stem pulling roller 7-1, the continuous rotation of the two stem pulling rollers 7-1 and the spiral rubber strip 7-2 at the front end can provide the pineapple plant with support on the left and right sides and thrust for inward movement, thereby guiding the pineapple plant to move toward the rear end of the V-shaped opening. When the pineapple plant is located at the rear end of the V-shaped opening, the stem pulling plates 7-3 on the two stem pulling rollers 7-1 will intermittently engage with each other under the rotation of the stem pulling roller 7-1. , and squeeze and pull the stem of the pineapple plant, and the pineapple fruit will be stuck between the two stem pulling rollers 7-1, and the stem pulling plates 7-3 at the rear end of the two stem pulling rollers 7-1 will provide two-side pressure and downward pulling force to the stem of the pineapple plant. The two stem pulling rollers 7-1 support the pineapple fruit and provide an upward supporting force for the pineapple fruit, while the stem of the pineapple plant provides a downward pulling force to the pineapple fruit. Under the joint action of these forces, the pineapple stem is broken, and the pineapple fruit is separated from the pineapple plant.

[0046] See also Figure 4-Figure 10The spiral rotation directions of the two spiral rubber strips 7-2 on the double-axis stem pulling roller set 7 are opposite. The purpose is to make the spiral rubber strips 7-2 on the two stem pulling rollers 7-1 push the pineapple plants to move backward.

When picking pineapples, the high bed machine 2 moves forward, and the seedling support chain 6-3 will lift up the fallen pineapple plants and push them to the middle of the two stem pulling rollers 7-1; specifically, the pineapple plants that tilt to the left or right will be lifted up by the seedling support parts 6-4 of the seedling support chain 6-3, and continue to provide support on both sides to keep the pineapple plants upright; the pineapple plants that tilt forward and backward are also lifted up by the seedling support parts 6-4 of the seedling support chain 6-3, and under the push of the seedling support parts 6-4, the pineapple plants are kept upright and pushed to the front end of the V-shaped opening in the middle of the stem pulling roller 7-1, and the stem pulling roller 7-1 will pick the pineapple fruits. Since the two stem pulling rollers 7-1 rotate in opposite directions, the two seedling support chains 6-3 also rotate in opposite directions, both of which provide power to push the pineapple plants backward.

[0057] See also Figure 1-Figure 15 The pineapple harvesting device of this embodiment drives the two stem pulling rollers 7-1 and the two seedling supporting chains 6-3 to rotate simultaneously through the driving mechanism 9; during the forward movement of the high bed working machine 2, the seedling supporting chain 6-3 will lift up the fallen pineapple plants and push the pineapple plants to the middle of the two stem pulling rollers 7-1; specifically, the pineapple plants that tilt to the left or right will be lifted up by the seedling supporting parts 6-4 of the seedling supporting chain 6-3, and continue to provide support on both sides to keep the pineapple plants upright; the pineapple plants that tilt forward or backward are also lifted up by the seedling supporting parts 6-4 of the seedling supporting chain 6-3, and under the push of the seedling supporting parts 6-4, the pineapple plants are kept upright and pushed to the front end of the V-shaped opening in the middle of the stem pulling roller 7-1. After the pineapple plants are pushed to the middle of the two stem pulling rollers 7-1, the two stem pulling rollers 7-1 rotate relative to each other, and cooperate with the screw at the front end of the stem pulling roller 7-1. The spiral rubber strip 7-2 provides the pineapple plant with the thrust and friction force to continue to move toward the rear end of the stem pulling roller 7-1, allowing the pineapple plant to enter the rear end of the V-shaped opening between the two stem pulling rollers 7-1. At this time, the stem pulling plate 7-3 at the rear end of the stem pulling roller 7-1 will be intermittently engaged during rotation, and the stem of the pineapple plant will be bitten from top to bottom by the stem pulling plates 7-3 of the two stem pulling rollers 7-1, and the stem of the pineapple plant will be squeezed and pulled, and the pineapple fruit will be stuck between the two stem pulling rollers 7-1. The pressure and tension provided by the steel plates at the rear end of the two stem pulling rollers 7-1, the supporting force provided by the stem pulling rollers 7-1 and the pulling force of the pineapple plant will jointly break the pineapple stem and separate the pineapple fruit from the plant. The separated pineapple fruit can gather to the middle under the action of the fruit blocking plates 8 on both sides and fall onto the conveyor belt for easy transportation.

[0058] Two rows of harvesting modules 5 are distributed on both sides of the high bed operation machine 2, and the high bed operation machine 2 will not damage the pineapple plants when moving forward.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] The other structures in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 1, except that the two rows of harvesting modules 5 can be symmetrically arranged.

[0061] Example 3

[0062] See also Fig.17 The other structures in this embodiment are the same as those in Example 1, except that the rotation direction of the spiral rubber strips 7-2 of the two stem pulling rollers 7-1 in this embodiment is opposite to that of the spiral rubber strips 7-2 of the two stem pulling rollers 7-1 in Example 1. The stems of the pineapple plants in this embodiment will be bitten from bottom to top by the stem pulling plates 7-3 of the two stem pulling rollers 7-1, thereby separating the pineapple fruits from the pineapple plants, wherein the directions of the arrows correspond to the rotation directions of the stem pulling rollers 7-1 and the seedling supporting chain 6-3 respectively.

[0063] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above content. Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principles of the present invention should be equivalent replacement methods and are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
