Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fruit harvesting equipment, and particularly relates to a cross-row fruit non-destructive storage and operation machine. Background Art

[0002] Existing goji berry picking is usually carried out manually. That is, first, a layer of plastic cloth is laid on the ground under the goji berry tree, and then the goji berries are knocked off the tree onto the plastic cloth manually. Finally, the goji berries on the plastic cloth are collected. However, collecting the goji berries on the plastic cloth manually not only increases the working pressure on workers but also seriously reduces the harvesting efficiency of goji berry fruits. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a device that can automatically collect goji berry fruits. Summary of the Invention

The lower parts of the two sides of the side support frames, which are close to each other, are respectively fixedly connected with mounting frames. The upper ends of the two mounting frames are respectively fixedly connected with first material receiving mechanisms. The two ends of the two mounting frames, which are close to each other, are respectively provided with second material receiving mechanisms. A transverse conveying mechanism is arranged below the first material receiving mechanism and the second material receiving mechanism on the same side. The transverse conveying mechanism is fixedly connected to the lower part of the side support frame, and its discharge end passes through between the support platform and the traveling mechanism.

Specific embodiments

[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] Referring to Figures 1-3 , a cross - row fruit non - destructive storage and harvesting machine includes two side support frames 9 arranged in parallel. The tops of the two side support frames 9 are fixedly connected by a top cover plate 10. The lower parts of the two side support frames 9 on the sides far from each other are respectively fixedly connected with support platforms 11. The bottoms of the two side support frames 9 are fixedly connected with a traveling mechanism 1 below the support platforms 11. The lower parts of the two side support frames 9 on the sides close to each other are respectively fixedly connected with mounting frames 12. The upper ends of the two mounting frames 12 are respectively fixedly connected with a first material receiving mechanism 6. The two ends of the two mounting frames 12 close to each other are respectively provided with a second material receiving mechanism 5. Below the first material receiving mechanism 6 and the second material receiving mechanism 5 on the same side, there is a transverse conveying mechanism 3 for receiving and transporting the goji berries that fall from the first material receiving mechanism 6 and the second material receiving mechanism 5. The transverse conveying mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the side support frame 9 and its discharge end passes through between the support platform 11 and the traveling mechanism 1. On the side of the support platform 11 away from the side support frame 9, there is a longitudinal lifting and conveying mechanism 2. The feeding end of the longitudinal lifting and conveying mechanism 2 is located below the discharge end of the transverse conveying mechanism 3. Below the discharge end of the longitudinal lifting and conveying mechanism 2, there is a storage mechanism.

[0022] In this embodiment, the first material receiving mechanism 6 includes two first material receiving frames symmetrically arranged in a V shape on the mounting frame 12. An elastic material receiving cloth is fixedly connected inside the first material receiving frame. The elastic material receiving cloth can provide buffering for the falling fruits, thereby preventing the fruits from being damaged by collision. A gap is left between the bottoms of the two first material receiving frames. The extending direction of the gap is perpendicular to the side support frame 9. The transverse conveying mechanism 3 is located below the gap, so that the falling fruits fall onto the transverse conveying mechanism 3 through the gap between the bottoms of the two first material receiving frames for transportation.

[0023] In this embodiment, the second material receiving mechanism 5 includes a plurality of second material receiving plates. One ends of the second material receiving plates of the two second material receiving mechanisms 5 that are close to each other are both inclined upward and their tops are in contact with each other. One end of the second material receiving plate is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the mounting frame 12. A first fixing column 13 is arranged at the bottom end of the second material receiving plate. Two springs 15 are fixedly connected to the first fixing column 13. One ends of the two springs 15 are fixedly connected to the first fixing column 13 respectively, and the other ends of the two springs 15 are divergently arranged and are respectively fixedly connected to two second fixing columns 14 on the mounting frame 12.

[0024] When the fruit non-destructive storage machine is not operating, the springs 15 connected to the second material receiving plates do not undergo elastic deformation, the material receiving plates are in the middle, and there is no gap between the two second material receiving plates on both sides; when the fruit non-destructive storage machine moves forward for operation, when the second material receiving plate touches the tree trunk, the two springs 15 on the lower side will have elastic deformations of one being pulled and the other being pressed, and the second material receiving plate presents a turning direction opposite to the forward direction, so that the tree trunk can be smoothly avoided and the obstacle avoidance function can be realized.

[0025] In this embodiment, there is a height difference between adjacent second material receiving plates in the second material receiving mechanism 5, and the height of the second material receiving plate gradually increases from the middle position of the second material receiving mechanism 5 to both ends. Adjacent two second material receiving plates in the same second material receiving mechanism 5 overlap each other, so that each second material receiving plate will not be affected by the resistance from the second material receiving plate behind during the rotation process.

[0026] In this embodiment, a plurality of pairs of electric telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the mounting frame 12. The two electric telescopic rods 16 in each pair of electric telescopic rods are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of each first fixing column 13. The telescopic movement of the electric telescopic rods 16 is controlled by a switch. When not operating, they are in the extended state. When the operating machine moves forward, the electric telescopic rods 16 retract, without preventing the rotation of the second material receiving plate. After successfully passing through the tree trunk, the electric telescopic rods 16 extend, blocking the first fixing column 13 that fixes the spring 15, ensuring that the second material receiving plate will not shake back and forth due to unbalanced elastic force, making the second material receiving plate more stable. When the operation is completed, the electric telescopic rods 16 contract again to make the second material receiving plate return to the initial position.

[0027] In this embodiment, the traveling mechanism 1 is a crawler-type traveling mechanism, and both the transverse conveying mechanism 3 and the longitudinal lifting and conveying mechanism 2 adopt belt conveyors.

[0028] In this embodiment, the longitudinal lifting and conveying mechanism 2 includes a horizontal conveying part and a lifting and conveying part. The lifting and conveying part is arranged at the discharge end of the horizontal conveying part. The horizontal conveying part is arranged below the transverse conveying mechanism 3 and is used for receiving the wolfberry fruits conveyed by the transverse conveying mechanism 3. A storage mechanism is arranged below the discharge end of the lifting and conveying part, and the storage mechanism is used for temporarily storing the wolfberry fruits output by the lifting and conveying part.

[0029] In this embodiment, the storage mechanism includes a storage box placing plate. One end of the storage box placing plate is connected to the support platform 11, and the other end of the storage box placing plate is connected to the outer support plate at the top of the lifting and conveying part through a connecting chain 8. A storage box is placed on the storage box placing plate.

[0030] In this embodiment, a seat 7 for the picking personnel to sit on is installed on the upper surface of the support platform 11, thereby improving the comfort of the staff.

[0031] In this embodiment, shielding mechanisms 4 are installed at both the front end and the rear end between the two side support frames 9. The shielding mechanisms 4 are two electric curtain screens that open and close towards each other. After the electric curtain screens are closed, they can block the splashing of wolfberry fruits.

[0032] During actual operation, first drive the working machine to a position straddling the planting row so that the second receiving mechanisms 5 on both sides are respectively located on both sides of the wolfberry tree. Then close the electric curtain screens. The staff sitting on the seat 7 use tools to knock down the fruits on the wolfberry tree. The knocked-down fruits fall onto the first receiving mechanism 6 and the second receiving mechanism 5 and finally fall onto the transverse conveying mechanism 3 for outward transportation. The transverse conveying mechanism 3 conveys the fruits to the longitudinal lifting and conveying mechanism 2 and finally conveys them into the storage box for temporary storage. After harvesting one wolfberry tree, open the electric curtain screens and control the working machine to move forward to continue with the subsequent harvesting work.

[0033] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not impose any limitation on the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes, and decorations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
