Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of plant protection machinery, and particularly relates to an obstacle avoidance device and method based on unmanned agricultural machinery. BACKGROUND
[0002] The agricultural machinery refers to various machinery used in crop planting and livestock production processes, and initial processing and treatment processes of agricultural and livestock products. The agricultural machinery includes agricultural power machinery, farmland construction machinery, soil tillage machinery, planting and fertilization machinery, plant protection machinery, farmland irrigation and drainage machinery, crop harvesting machinery, agricultural product processing machinery, livestock industry machinery and agricultural transportation machinery, etc. The unmanned agricultural machinery generally refers to agricultural machinery that does not need to be manually driven and operated.
[0003] When the general soil moisture is maintained at 60%-80% of the field water holding capacity, the root system of the fruit tree can grow, absorb, transport and conduct normally, and too high moisture has adverse effects on the growth of the root system and the whole tree body. If weeds absorb too much water, the growth of the fruit tree is limited, and thus it is necessary to regularly clean the weeds on the ground of the orchard, so as to avoid the weeds competing with the fruit tree for nutrients and water, and avoid causing malnutrition of the fruit tree and hindering the growth of the fruit tree.
[0004] The existing orchard weeding machinery has the following deficiencies:
[0005] 1. When the trunk of the fruit tree is encountered, it is inconvenient to avoid, and a large amount of fruits, fallen leaves and branches will fall on the ground below the fruit tree. The existing weeding machinery is inconvenient to avoid, so that the weeds around the bottom of the fruit tree trunk cannot be completely removed, and the cutting speed is affected, and the weeding efficiency is reduced.
[0006] 2. In the orchard that has not been weeded for a long time, the weeds grow more luxuriantly. When the existing weeding device is used for weeding, the weeds are easily stuck between the weeding knife and the inner wall of the protective cover installed on the weeding knife, so that the weeding device cannot work smoothly, and even is damaged, the service life of the knife is reduced, and the weeding effect is reduced.
[0007] 3. In daily orchard plant protection work, in order to achieve the purposes of protection, flood prevention and promotion of new root growth, it is necessary to pile soil at the base of the fruit tree trunk. The soil pile is usually cone-shaped. After weeds grow on the soil pile, if it is directly cut with a horizontally installed saw blade, the edge of the saw blade can easily cut into the soil layer because the outer edge of the soil pile is cone-shaped, which can damage the blade. Soil adhering to the blade will reduce the weeding effect. Weeds located on the outer edge of the soil layer cannot be cut neatly. Even if the weeds on the soil pile cannot be cut neatly, it will result in an uneven effect, which will lead to inconsistent germination time of the weeds in this area. Multiple weeding operations are required, which further increases the burden of plant protection. That is, it lacks the ability to adaptively adjust the cutting angle of the weeding blade according to the orchard ground conditions.
[0008] 4. Most existing weeding machinery is operated by hand-held small weeders or by plant protection personnel driving weeding vehicles. This is not conducive to saving manpower, and manual operation is prone to fatigue, and carelessness in observation can easily lead to missed cuttings. At the same time, the workload is relatively large. Summary of the Invention

Since the two swing rods 332 are hinged to the two fixed rods 331, the two fixed rods 331 and the two swing rods 332 are fixedly designed with limit plates therebetween, and the two limit plates are fixedly connected to the two ends of the abutting spring 330, so that the two swing rods 332 rotate toward the end close to the electric vehicle 1 with the hinged place of the two fixed rods 331 as the center, thereby causing the protective cover 31 and the conical shovel plate 323 to avoid the trunk of the fruit tree 7, achieving the second obstacle avoidance effect.
[0079] S4: Synchronous work during the second obstacle avoidance:
[0080] When the two swing rods 332 rotate toward the end close to the electric vehicle 1 with the hinged place of the two fixed rods 331 as the center, i.e., while avoiding the trunk of the fruit tree 7, since the top of one of the swing rods 332 and the outer wall of the rack 411 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the pull rope 410, respectively, and the outer wall of the end of the rack 411 away from the pull rope 410 and the inner wall of the slide rail 413 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the return spring 412, respectively, and since the return spring 412 is initially in a tight state, the return spring 412 is instantaneously changed from the tight state to the stretched state to push the rack 411 to slide quickly inside the slide rail 413 toward the end close to the groove wheel 414. The two groove wheels 414 limit the position of the pull rope 410 during operation to prevent the pull rope 410 from being skewed or detached.
[0081] When the rack 411 slides quickly inside the slide rail 413 to the end close to the Geneva wheel 414, the rack 411 is connected with the gear 420, which drives the gear 420 to rotate counterclockwise. Since the gear 420 and one of the two synchronizing wheels 423 are fixedly connected with the first rotating shaft, the first bevel gear 422 and the other synchronizing wheel 423 are fixedly connected with the second rotating shaft, and the two synchronizing wheels 423 are sleeved with the belt 421, the first bevel gear 422 is driven to rotate counterclockwise quickly. Since the first bevel gear 422 and the second bevel gear 430 are connected, the second bevel gear 430 and the rotating wheel 431 are fixedly connected with the third rotating shaft, and the rotating wheel 431 and the sliding block 10 are hingedly connected with the two ends of the connecting rod 432, the rotating wheel 431 is driven to rotate clockwise quickly. Since the sliding block 10 is fixedly connected with the hammer block 40 through the connecting rod, and the sliding block 10 is slidingly connected with the guide rail, when the protective cover 31 avoids obstacles and rotates to the side close to the trolley, the hammer block 40 quickly slides down to hit the top of the protective cover 31 once. On the one hand, the cut grass that is stuck between the saw blade 30 and the top inside of the protective cover 31 is shaken and shaken and falls to the ground 6 through the several conical through holes 300 on the saw blade 30, preventing the saw blade 30 from being stuck and affecting the mowing effect, reducing the wear and tear of the saw blade 30, and prolonging the service life of the saw blade 30. On the other hand, a small amount of leaves, branches and fruits that are previously shovelled to the top outside of the protective cover 31 can be shaken off from the protective cover 31, preventing the top outside of the protective cover 31 from being crushed by the increasing amount of impurities.
[0082] Working principle: When working, first start the electric trolley 1 through the controller to realize automatic driving in the orchard, and then start the two high-definition vehicle cameras 2 through the controller. One of the two high-definition vehicle cameras 2 faces the front of the electric trolley 1 to provide a driving field of view, and the other faces the orchard ground 6 to provide a weeding field of view.
[0083] Then start the micro motor 320 through the controller. Since the output end of the micro motor 320 is fixedly connected with the saw blade 30, the L-shaped plate 322 is fixedly connected with the protective cover 31, and the micro motor 320 is fixedly connected with the L-shaped plate 322, the output end of the micro motor 320 is rotatably connected with the inner wall of the protective cover 31 through the first bearing 321, thereby driving the saw blade 30 to rotate and cutting the grass on the ground 6.
[0084] When the protective cover 31 moves with the electric trolley 1 to weed, the conical shovel plate 323 shovels the fruits, branches and fallen leaves on the ground 6, preventing the saw blade 30 from being touched and affecting the cutting of grass, achieving the first obstacle avoidance effect. The conical shovel plate 323 is designed to maximize the shoveling of fruits, branches and fallen leaves. The several heat dissipation holes 310 provide heat dissipation effect, ensuring that the heat generated by the saw blade 30 during operation is dissipated from the protective cover 31 and does not accumulate inside the protective cover 31, reducing the failure rate caused by high temperature, and ensuring the smooth implementation of the mowing work.
[0085] When the electric car 1 drives to the side of the trunk of the fruit tree 7, the conical shovel plate 323 on the protective cover 31 is in contact with the trunk of the fruit tree 7, and the abutting spring 330 changes from the stretched state to the contracted state. Since the two swing rods 332 are hinged to the two fixed rods 331, the two fixed rods 331 and the two swing rods 332 are fixedly designed with limit plates, and the two limit plates are fixedly connected with the two ends of the abutting spring 330, so that the two swing rods 332 rotate towards the end close to the electric car 1 with the hinge of the two fixed rods 331 as the center, and then the protective cover 31 and the conical shovel plate 323 avoid the trunk of the fruit tree 7, achieving the second re-avoiding effect.
[0086] When the two swing rods 332 rotate towards the end close to the electric car 1 with the hinge of the two fixed rods 331 as the center, that is, while avoiding the trunk of the fruit tree 7, since the top of one of the swing rods 332 and the outer wall of the rack 411 are fixedly connected with the two ends of the pull rope 410, and the outer wall of the end of the rack 411 away from the pull rope 410 and the inner wall of the sliding rail 413 are fixedly connected with the two ends of the reset spring 412, and since the reset spring 412 is initially in a tight state, the tension is temporarily relaxed, and the reset spring 412 is instantaneously changed from the tight state to the stretched state to push the rack 411 to slide quickly inside the sliding rail 413 towards the end close to the groove wheel 414. The two groove wheels 414 have a limiting effect when the pull rope 410 is operating, preventing the pull rope 410 from being skewed or detached.
[0087] When the rack 411 slides quickly inside the sliding rail 413 towards the end close to the groove wheel 414, since the rack 411 is in meshing connection with the gear 420, the gear 420 is driven to rotate counterclockwise, and since the gear 420 and one of the synchronous wheels 423 are fixedly connected with the first rotating shaft, and the first bevel gear 422 and the other synchronous wheel 423 are fixedly connected with the second rotating shaft, the two synchronous wheels 423 are sleeved with the belt 421, thereby driving the first bevel gear 422 to rotate counterclockwise quickly.
[0088] When the first bevel gear 422 rotates quickly counterclockwise, since the first bevel gear 422 and the second bevel gear 430 are meshed and connected, the second bevel gear 430 and the rotating wheel 431 are fixedly connected with the third rotating shaft, the rotating wheel 431 and the sliding block 10 are respectively hinged with two ends of the connecting rod 432, thereby driving the rotating wheel 431 to rotate quickly clockwise, and since the sliding block 10 is fixedly connected with the hammer block 40 through the connecting rod, the sliding block 10 is slidingly connected with the guide rail, thereby rotating the protective cover 31 to avoid obstacles to be close to the side of the trolley, at the same time, the hammer block 40 quickly slides downward to knock the top of the protective cover 31 once, on the one hand, the cut grass clamped between the saw blade 30 and the top inside of the protective cover 31 is vibrated and shaken to fall to the ground 6 through the conical through hole 300 on the saw blade 30, preventing the cutting effect from being affected by being clamped on the saw blade 30, reducing the abrasion of the saw blade 30, prolonging the service life of the saw blade 30, on the other hand, a small amount of leaves, branches and fruits chipped to the top outside of the protective cover 31 by the conical insert plate can be shaken off from the protective cover 31, preventing the protective cover 31 from being crushed by more and more impurities accumulated on the top outside of the protective cover 31.
