Detailed implementation mode

[0029] The embodiment of the present invention provides a soil loosening manipulator for a farming robot, as Figure 1-7 shown, including two buckets 1 and a screw rod 2. The two buckets 1 are respectively located on both sides of the screw rod 2, and the end of the screw rod 2 threadedly penetrates through the bucket 1. A connecting rod 3 is provided on the side of the bucket 1. A sliding rod 31 is welded to the lower end of the connecting rod 3, and a motor 32 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the connecting rod 3. The transmission shaft of the motor 32 is welded to the end of the screw rod 2. The sliding rod 31 is flush with the screw rod 2, and the sliding rod 31 passes through the bucket 1. An opening 13 is provided at the rear side of the bucket 1.

[0030] A disc 4 with a hollow interior is pivotally connected to the front side of the bucket 1. A motor 8 is fixedly installed at the rear side of the bucket 1. The transmission shaft of the motor 8 extends into the bucket 1 and is welded to the center of the disc 4. A turntable 81 aligned with the disc 4 is pivotally connected to the rear side of the bucket 1. The transmission shaft of the motor 8 is welded to the turntable 81.

[0031] A plurality of steel wires 5 are provided around the transmission shaft of the motor 8. The plurality of steel wires 5 are arranged at equal angles around the center. The rear ends of the steel wires 5 are fixedly tied to the surface of the turntable 81, and the front ends of the steel wires 5 extend into the disc 4.

[0032] Threaded grooves are provided at both ends of the screw rod 2, and the threaded grooves at both ends are symmetrically arranged. When the screw rod 2 rotates forward, the two buckets 1 approach each other, and when the screw rod 2 rotates backward, the two buckets 1 move away from each other.

[0033] The steel wire 5 is inclined, and a converging mechanism is provided inside the disc 4. The converging mechanism is used to tighten the steel wire 5. Working principle: The motor 32 drives the screw rod 2 to rotate forward, causing the two buckets 1 to approach each other. After the two buckets 1 are combined, the converging mechanism tightens the steel wire 5, and the motor 8 drives the disc 4 and the turntable 81 to rotate, so that the tightened steel wire 5 crushes large soil clods.

[0034] The reason for using the steel wire 5 is that the steel wire 5 itself has toughness and is slender, enabling the bucket 1 to have a larger capacity and reducing the occupied space inside the bucket 1. And there are stones in the soil. When using traditional tools to crush, the blades collide with hard objects for a long time, which easily causes the blades to break.

[0035] A connecting plate 7 is provided above the two buckets 1. The side of the connecting plate 7 is connected to the connecting rod 3, and a control module is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 7. The control module is used to control the operation of each electronic component.

[0036] A lifting mechanism can also be fixedly installed on the top of the connecting plate 7. The lifting mechanism is used to insert the bucket 1 into the soil or pull the bucket 1 out of the ground. Since the control module and the lifting mechanism are both conventional technical means, no detailed description will be given and they will not be drawn in the drawings.

[0037] The converging mechanism includes an electromagnet module 41, a support rod 42, a rotating rod 43, and an elastic belt 44. The electromagnet module 41 is fixedly installed at the center of the inner wall of the disc 4. The support rods 42 are arranged around the electromagnet module 41, and the support rods 42 correspond to the steel wires 5 one by one.

[0038] As shown in the attached Figure 6 figure, the center of the rotating rod 43 is hinged to the support rod 42. The front end of the steel wire 5 passes through the rotating rod 43 in an "S" shape and is welded to the inner wall of the disc 4. One end of the rotating rod 43 close to the electromagnet module 41 is wrapped with iron sheet 431.

[0039] The rear end of the support rod 42 is welded to the rear side of the inner wall of the disc 4. The front end of the support rod 42 is hinged to the center of the rotating rod 43. One end of the rotating rod 43 far from the electromagnet module 41 is fixedly tied with an elastic belt 44, and one end of the elastic belt 44 far from the rotating rod 43 is fixedly tied to the rear side of the inner wall of the disc 4.

[0040] In the initial state, the electromagnet module 41 is not energized. Due to the existence of the elastic belt 44, the rotating rod 43 is originally inclined, and the end of the rotating rod 43 wrapped with the iron sheet 431 is far from the electromagnet module 41. At this time, the steel wire is in a loose state

[0041] Working principle: When the electromagnet module 41 is energized to generate magnetic force, the electromagnet module 41 attracts the iron sheet 431, causing the rotating rod 43 to flip. The end of the rotating rod 43 carrying the iron sheet 431 approaches the electromagnet 41, thereby pulling more parts of the steel wire 5 into the disc 4 and achieving the purpose of tightening the steel wire 5.

[0042] An electronic remote control switch and a storage battery are also fixedly installed at the center of the disk 4. The electromagnet module 41, the electronic remote control switch, and the storage battery are electrically connected. The control module is electrically connected with a wireless transmission module, and the electronic remote control switch is electrically connected with a wireless receiving module. Through wireless transmission technology, the control module can remotely control the electrified and powered-off states of the electronic iron module 41.

[0043] The front end of the connecting plate 7 is hinged with a vertical rod 71. The lower end of the vertical rod 71 is welded to the rod body of the connecting rod 3. The rod body of the vertical rod 71 is hinged with an electric push rod 72, and the upper end of the electric push rod 72 is hinged with the side of the connecting plate 7.

[0044] The bottom of the bucket 1 is provided with an inclined surface 11. Small holes 12 are opened at the bottom of the bucket 1. The bucket 1 is provided with a threaded hole 14 adapted to the screw rod 2, and the bucket 1 is provided with a sliding hole 15 adapted to the sliding rod 31. The sliding rod 31 is slidably matched with the sliding hole 15. The small holes 12 serve the purpose of screening, and the originally loose and fine soil particles in the bucket 1 are discharged.

[0045] The bucket 1 is inlaid with an arc-shaped block 6 with a hollow interior. The arc-shaped block 6 is provided with a ball 61, and a pressure sensor 62 is provided at the top of the inner wall of the arc-shaped block 6. The pressure sensor 62 is electrically connected with the control module.

[0046] Working principle: The large soil blocks inside the bucket 1 are cut and crushed by the steel wire 5 into smaller soil blocks. Although these soil blocks meet the requirements, they cannot be discharged through the small holes 12. At this time, the electric push rod 71 extends, causing the bucket 1 to turn upward. The ball 61 rolls and contacts the pressure sensor 62. The pressure sensor 62 feeds back the information to the control module. The control module stops the extension of the electric push rod 71. The small soil blocks in the bucket 1 can fall out from the opening 13.

[0047] In summary, for the soil loosening manipulator of the farming robot, two buckets 1, screw rods 2, vertical rods 3, sliding rods 31 and motors 32 are provided to form a manipulator for loosening soil. The bucket 1 is provided with a disk 4, a turntable 81 and a motor 8. A steel wire 5 is provided between the disk 8 and the turntable 81. Through the cooperation of the closing mechanism, the steel wire 5 and the motor 8, the steel wire 5 crushes the oversized convex blocks in the bucket 1. Thereby improving the soil loosening effect.

[0048] Moreover, through the cooperation of the arc-shaped strip 6, the ball 61, the pressure sensor 62 and the electric push rod 72, the bucket 1 is turned upward to pour out the processed oversized convex blocks from the bucket 1. Realize the effect of automatic unloading.

[0049] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
