Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of peanut harvesting equipment, and more particularly to a peanut harvesting and cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Peanuts are a common crop. Because the edible parts of the peanuts are still in the soil when they mature, a special peanut harvesting device is needed to turn the peanuts out of the field after they mature, so that it is convenient to harvest the peanut parts in large quantities later.

[0003] Existing peanut harvesting devices typically need to be mounted on a tractor. As the tractor moves forward, the harvesting device inserts itself into the soil, pushing the peanuts buried in the soil forward and upward. This loosens the peanuts in the soil, and usually, with the cooperation of the clamping and transmission components, it pulls the peanut vines backward and upward, thus pulling out the peanuts along with the vines. The pulled-out vines and peanuts remain connected, and the vines accumulate in a line along the tractor's path. However, because the peanuts are freshly pulled from the soil, they have a high moisture content, so they need to be dried for a period of time to reduce their moisture content. The actual moisture content must be determined before proceeding to the next step of separating peanuts from the vines. This is because existing peanut harvesting devices may still have soil adhering to the surface of the peanuts when they are pulled out of the soil. This soil contains moisture, and during drying, the soil on the surface of the peanuts needs to be dried first, which takes longer. Moreover, the soil covering the peanuts also isolates them from the outside environment, making it difficult for the peanuts to dissipate moisture, which also affects the drying process and takes time. Manually shaking off the soil from the peanuts is also very labor-intensive. Therefore, a peanut harvesting and cleaning device that can reduce the amount of soil adhering to the peanuts is being developed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the disadvantage that the soil attached to peanuts hinders the drying process, the technical problem of the present invention is to provide a peanut harvesting and cleaning device that can reduce the amount of soil attached.

[0005] A peanut harvesting and cleaning device includes a harvesting device comprising a harvester frame, side plates, a connecting frame, a right guide frame, a left guide frame, a digging component, tires, a first motor, a first rotating rod, a transmission belt, a first fixing rod, a snap-fit ​​component, and a first rotating component. It also includes multiple first fixing components, which are respectively fixed to the left and right guide frames. A rotating wheel is rotatably connected between the first fixing components. A mud-throwing basket is fixed to the side of the rotating wheel away from the harvester frame. The mud-throwing basket is used to separate peanuts from soil. The rotating wheel is equipped with a rotating assembly for driving the rotating wheel and the mud-throwing basket to rotate.

[0006] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the rotating assembly includes a first spur gear fixed to the rotating wheel, and a second motor is provided on the connecting frame. A second spur gear is fixed to the side of the second motor near the rotating wheel, and the second spur gear meshes with the first spur gear.

[0007] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the device also includes a vibration mechanism disposed between the side plates. The vibration mechanism is used to initially shake off the soil from the peanuts. The vibration mechanism includes a vibration frame that is slidably connected between the side plates. A first spring is connected between the two sides of the vibration frame and the adjacent side plates.

A second fixing rod is fixedly connected to the side of the fan near the first rotating rod, and the second fixing rod is in a pressing fit with the second rotating member.

[0011] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the device also includes a scraping mechanism disposed in the mud-throwing basket. The scraping mechanism is used to scrape off the mud adhering to the inner wall of the mud-throwing basket. The scraping mechanism includes a locking block that is slidably connected to the mud-throwing basket. A third fixing rod is fixedly connected to the left guide frame, and a fourth fixing rod is fixedly connected to the right guide frame. A receiving box is fixedly connected between the third and fourth fixing rods. The receiving box is fixedly connected to the locking block and a mud scraper is fixedly connected to the receiving box. A collection component is disposed between the left and right guide frames to collect the mud in the receiving box.

[0012] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the collecting assembly includes a fourth fixing member, which is fixed to the left guide frame and slidably connected to a loading box. The right guide frame is slidably connected to a pin, which engages with the loading box. A second spring is wound between the pin and the harvester frame, and the second spring is wound around the pin. The receiving box is rotatably connected to a second screw, which is threadedly connected to a push plate, and the push plate is slidably connected to the receiving box.

[0013] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that a pushing mechanism is included, which is disposed on the side plate and is used to push away the gravel. The pushing mechanism includes a fifth fixed rod, which is fixed to one of the side plates. A sixth fixed rod is fixed to the side of this side plate away from the fifth fixed rod. A sliding member is slidably connected to the side of the fifth fixed rod away from the side plate. A sliding member is also slidably connected to the side of the sixth fixed rod away from the side plate. A third spring is wound between the fifth fixed rod and the adjacent sliding member.

A transmission wheel is fixedly connected to the side of the second rotating rod near the transmission belt. The transmission wheel contacts the adjacent transmission belt. A rubber block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the baffle plate.

[0015] Beneficial effects: 1. After the peanut vines and peanut fruits are transported to the mud-throwing basket, the mud-throwing basket rotates, causing the soil attached to the peanut fruits to hit the inner wall of the basket, thereby separating the soil from the peanut fruits. Under the action of centrifugal force, the soil is thrown out of the mud-throwing basket, thereby reducing the amount of soil attached to the peanut fruits.

[0016] 2. The present invention uses a missing gear and a third spur gear to drive the vibrating frame to move up and down reciprocatingly, so that the vibrating frame can hit the peanut vines and peanut fruits, causing the soil and gravel attached to the peanut fruits to fall off initially, thereby helping to reduce the amount of soil attached to the peanut fruits.

[0017] 3. The present invention drives the second rotating component to rotate through a bevel gear, thereby causing the second rotating component to press against the second fixed rod. Under the combined action of the second torsion spring, the fan can swing back and forth, thereby blowing off the soil and gravel attached to the peanut fruit, which helps to reduce the amount of soil attached to the peanut fruit.

[0018] 4. This invention uses a mud scraper to scrape the mud adhering to the inner wall of the mud-throwing basket into the receiving box, and collects the mud through the loading box, preventing the mud from accumulating and sticking together on the inner wall of the mud-throwing basket. This allows the mud-throwing basket to maintain normal working condition, which is conducive to the mud-throwing basket separating the mud adhering to the peanut fruit and reducing the amount of mud adhering to the peanut fruit.

[0019] 5. This invention uses a material pusher to push away the gravel on the ground, preventing the gravel from adhering to the peanuts that have already been cleaned of soil, thereby reducing the amount of soil adhering to the peanuts.

[0020] 6. This invention uses a reciprocating screw to drive the baffle plate to move up and down, thereby automatically feeding peanut vines into the mud-throwing basket in batches. This avoids putting a large number of peanut vines into the mud-throwing basket at once, which would result in poor mud separation. This helps the mud-throwing basket to properly separate the mud attached to the peanut fruits and reduces the amount of mud attached to the peanut fruits. Attached Figure Description

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the invention.

[0043] Example 1: A peanut harvesting and cleaning device, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the harvester includes a harvester frame 1. Side plates 101 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the harvester frame 1. A connecting frame 102 is fixedly connected to the rear of the harvester frame 1. A right guide frame 103 is fixedly connected to the right rear of the connecting frame 102, and a left guide frame 104 is fixedly connected to the left rear of the connecting frame 102. Digging components 11 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the lower front of the harvester frame 1. Tires 12 are rotatably connected to both the left and right sides of the lower part of the connecting frame 102. First motors 13 are installed on both the left and right sides of the upper front of the harvester frame 1. First rotating rods 14 are fixedly connected to the lower part of the output shaft of each first motor 13. The first rotating rods 14 are rotatably connected to the harvester frame 1. First rotating components 18 are rotatably connected to the lower front of the side plates 101. First rotating components 18 are rotatably connected to both the left and right sides of the lower part of the connecting frame 102. First rotating components 18 are rotatably connected to both the front and rear sides of the lower part of the right guide frame 103. The lower front and rear sides of the left guide frame 104 are rotatably connected to first rotating parts 18. The four first rotating parts 18 on the left and the first rotating rod 14 on the left are connected by a transmission belt 15 through guide wheels. The four first rotating parts 18 on the right and the first rotating rod 14 on the right are also connected by a transmission belt 15 through guide wheels. The upper front part of the harvester frame 1 is fixedly connected to a first fixing rod 16. The front part of the first fixing rod 16 is snapped with a snap-fit ​​part 17. It also includes a first fixing part 19. There are three first fixing parts 19. One first fixing part 19 is fixedly connected to the left guide frame 104, and the other two first fixing parts 19 are fixedly connected to the right guide frame 103. Rotating wheels 20 are rotatably connected between the first fixing parts 19. A mud-throwing basket 21 is fixedly connected to the rear part of the rotating wheel 20. A rotating component is provided on the rotating wheel 20. The rotating component is used to drive the rotating wheel 20 and the mud-throwing basket 21 to rotate.

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, the rotating assembly includes a first spur gear 22, which is fixed to the outer ring of the rotating wheel 20. A second motor 23 is provided at the left rear part of the connecting frame 102. A second spur gear 24 is fixed to the rear part of the output shaft of the second motor 23. The second spur gear 24 meshes with the first spur gear 22.

[0045] This peanut harvesting and cleaning device is used to dig peanuts out of the field soil and remove the soil adhering to them, reducing the amount of soil on the peanuts. In use, firstly, the snap-fit ​​17 needs to be removed from the first fixed rod 16, and then the first fixed rod 16 is connected to the tractor via the snap-fit ​​17. Simultaneously, the upper part of the harvester frame 1 also needs to be connected to the tractor. This allows the tractor to move the peanut harvesting and cleaning device in the field. Then, the first motor 13 is started. Driven by the output shaft of the first motor 13, the first rotating rod 14 rotates, causing the corresponding transmission belts 15 to rotate. The left transmission belt 15 rotates counterclockwise, and the right transmission belt 15 rotates clockwise. The first rotating component 18 also rotates along with the transmission belt 15. Then, the second motor 23 is turned on. Driven by the output shaft of the second motor 23, the second spur gear 24 drives the first spur gear 22 to rotate, causing the rotating wheel 20 and the mud-throwing basket 21 to rotate as well. At this point, preparations are complete, and the tractor can move forward in the peanut field. The harvester frame 1 also moves forward along with it. The digging component 11 then inserts into the soil, contacting the peanut fruits and pushing them forward and upward. The two transmission belts 15 clamp the peanut vines and pull them backward. Because the peanut fruits have loosened in the soil under the action of the digging component 11, the peanut vines will pull the peanuts... As the peanuts move backward together, they are pulled out of the soil, and both the peanuts and vines enter the mud-throwing basket 21. The rotation of the basket causes the peanuts to impact it, dislodging the soil. Centrifugal force further flings this soil out of the basket, reducing the amount of soil on the peanuts. As the conveyor belt 15 continues to transport the peanut vines, these soil-free vines are compressed by the newly arrived vines, causing the peanuts to fall out from the rear of the basket. The cleaned peanut vines and vines are then neatly arranged in a line in the field. The system can dry the peanuts to reduce their moisture content. As the tractor drives the peanut harvesting and cleaning device forward, this process is repeated continuously to harvest the peanuts and remove the soil. Once one row of peanuts has been harvested, the first motor 13 and the second motor 23 are turned off, and the tractor moves to the next row of peanuts to continue the harvesting and soil removal process. After all the peanuts have been harvested and cleaned, the connection between the tractor and the peanut harvesting and cleaning device is disconnected. The rotating mud-throwing basket 21 causes the soil attached to the peanuts to fall off when they hit it, and under the action of centrifugal force, the soil is detached from the mud-throwing basket 21.This achieves the goal of reducing the amount of soil adhering to peanut fruits.

[0046] Example 2: Based on Example 1, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, it also includes a vibration mechanism, which is disposed between the side plates 101. The vibration mechanism is used to initially shake off the soil on the peanut fruit. The vibration mechanism includes a vibration frame 25, which is slidably connected between the side plates 101. The upper rear left and right sides of the vibration frame 25 are connected to the adjacent side plates 101 with first springs 26. The front left and right sides of the vibration frame 25 are fixedly connected with first guide rods 27, which are slidably connected to the adjacent side plates 101. The front of the vibration frame 25 is provided with a movable component, which is used to drive the vibration frame 25 to move up and down reciprocally.

[0047] like Figure 9 As shown, the active component includes a missing gear 28, which is fixedly connected to the first rotating member 18 on the left front side. The left front part of the vibration frame 25 is threadedly connected to a first screw 31, which is rotatably connected to the left side plate 101. A third spur gear 29 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the first screw 31, which meshes with the missing gear 28. A first torsion spring 30 is wound between the third spur gear 29 and the left side plate 101, and the first torsion spring 30 is wound around the first screw 31.

[0048] To further clean the soil and gravel adhering to the peanuts, when the first rotating component 18 on the left front side rotates, the missing gear 28 also rotates. When the teeth of the missing gear 28 rotate to contact the third spur gear 29, the third spur gear 29 rotates under the drive of the missing gear 28, causing the first screw 31 to rotate and the first torsion spring 30 to twist. Driven by the first screw 31, the vibrating frame 25 moves downward, the first spring 26 is compressed, and the first guide rod 27 moves downward. The vibrating frame 25 then moves away from the harvested peanut vines. When the teeth of the missing gear 28 continue to rotate until they no longer contact the third spur gear 29, the first screw 31 and the third spur gear 29 rotate in opposite directions under the drive of the first torsion spring 30. Driven by the first spring 26, the vibrating frame 25 moves upward and resets. At this time, the vibrating frame 25 hits the peanut vines, causing the peanut vines and peanut fruits to vibrate. Some of the soil and gravel attached to the peanut fruits will fall off. As the first rotating part 18 on the left front side continues to rotate, the above process is repeated. Through the cooperation of the missing gear 28 and the third spur gear 29, the vibrating frame 25 moves up and down, so that the vibrating frame 25 can intermittently hit the harvested peanut vines, causing the peanut vines and peanut fruits to vibrate. This achieves the purpose of initially cleaning the soil and gravel attached to the peanut fruits, so that the mud-throwing basket 21 can more fully separate the soil and peanut fruits, which is beneficial to reducing the amount of soil attached to the peanut fruits.

[0049] like Figure 11 As shown, it also includes a blowing mechanism, which is mounted on the harvester frame 1. The blowing mechanism is used to blow away gravel and soil. The blowing mechanism includes two second fixing members 32. The two second fixing members 32 are respectively fixed to the upper left and right sides of the harvester frame 1. A fan 33 is rotatably connected between the second fixing members 32. A second torsion spring 34 is wound between the fan 33 and the second fixing members 32. The second torsion spring 34 is wound around the fan 33. A swing assembly is provided on the first rotating rod 14 on the left side. The swing assembly is used to drive the fan 33 to swing back and forth.

[0050] like Figure 11 As shown, the swing assembly includes a third fixing member 36, which is fixed to the upper left part of the harvester frame 1. A second rotating member 37 is rotatably connected to the third fixing member 36. A bevel gear 38 is fixed to the right part of the second rotating member 37. Another bevel gear 38 is fixed to the upper part of the first rotating rod 14 on the left side. The two bevel gears 38 mesh. A second fixing rod 35 is fixed to the front left part of the fan 33. The second fixing rod 35 is pressed into the second rotating member 37.

[0051] To further facilitate the initial removal of soil and gravel from the peanuts, the blower 33 can be activated. When the first rotating rod 14 on the left rotates, it drives the adjacent bevel gear 38 to rotate, which in turn drives the second rotating component 37 to rotate. When the second rotating component 37 rotates to contact the second fixed rod 35, it will press against the second fixed rod 35, causing the second fixed rod 35 to drive the blower 33 to rotate. The second torsion spring 34 twists. When the second rotating component 37 rotates past... After the second fixing rod 35 is released, the fan 33 rotates in the opposite direction to reset under the action of the second torsion spring 34. Then, as the second rotating part 37 continues to rotate until it contacts the second fixing rod 35, the above process is repeated. In this way, the fan 33 can swing back and forth, and the fan 33 can better blow off the soil and gravel attached to the peanut fruit, which is conducive to the initial removal of soil and gravel from the peanut fruit and helps to reduce the amount of soil attached to the peanut fruit. After the peanut harvest and cleaning are completed, the fan 33 is turned off.

[0052] like Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 , Figure 15 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, it also includes a scraping mechanism, which is mounted on the mud-throwing basket 21. The scraping mechanism is used to scrape off the mud adhering to the mud-throwing basket 21. The scraping mechanism includes a snap-fit ​​block 39, which is slidably connected to the rear of the mud-throwing basket 21. A third fixing rod 401 is fixedly connected to the rear of the left guide frame 104, and a fourth fixing rod 402 is fixedly connected to the rear of the right guide frame 103. A receiving box 40 is fixedly connected between the third fixing rod 401 and the fourth fixing rod 402. The receiving box 40 is fixedly connected to the snap-fit ​​block 39, and the front of the receiving box 40 is lower than the rear. A mud scraper 41 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the receiving box 40. A collection component is provided between the rear of the left guide frame 104 and the right guide frame 103. The collection component is used to collect the mud in the receiving box 40.

[0053] like Figure 14 , Figure 15 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the collecting assembly includes a fourth fixing member 42, which is fixed to the rear of the left guide frame 104. A loading box 43 is slidably connected to the fourth fixing member 42. A pin 44 is slidably connected to the rear of the right guide frame 103. The pin 44 engages with the loading box 43. A second spring 45 is wound around the upper part of the pin 44 and the harvester frame 1. The second spring 45 is wound around the pin 44. A second screw 46 is rotatably connected to the right side of the receiving box 40. A push plate 47 is threadedly connected to the second screw 46. The push plate 47 is slidably connected to the receiving box 40.

[0054] To prevent soil from sticking and accumulating on the inner wall of the mud-throwing basket 21, as the basket rotates, the scraper 41 scrapes off the soil adhering to the inner wall of the basket. This soil falls into the receiving box 40 and then down into the loading box 43. After one row of peanuts has been harvested and cleaned, the second screw 46 can be turned by hand to move the push plate 47 forward. The push plate 47 pushes the remaining soil on the receiving box 40 forward into the loading box 43. Then, the second screw 46 can be turned in the opposite direction to move the push plate 47 backward to reset it. Then, the pin 44 can be moved upward by hand to stretch the second spring 45, at which point the loading box 43 is released and can be used again. Move the loading box 43 forward to disengage it from the fourth fixing member 42. Clean the mud out of the loading box 43, and then snap the loading box 43 back onto the fourth fixing member 42. Release the pin 44, and under the action of the second spring 45, the pin 44 moves downward to reset. The pin 44 then snaps back into place with the loading box 43, fixing the loading box 43 between the right guide frame 103 and the left guide frame 104. The mud scraper 41 cleans the mud adhering to the inner wall of the mud-throwing basket 21, preventing the mud from sticking and accumulating on the inner wall of the mud-throwing basket 21. This prevents the mud accumulation from affecting the separation of mud and peanuts in the mud-throwing basket 21, and helps reduce the amount of mud adhering to the peanuts.

[0055] like Figure 18 As shown, it also includes a pushing mechanism, which is set on the left side plate 101. The pushing mechanism is used to push away the gravel. The pushing mechanism includes a fifth fixed rod 48, which is fixed to the upper front part of the left side plate 101. A sixth fixed rod 481 is fixed to the left rear part of the left side plate 101. A sliding member 49 is slidably connected to the left part of the fifth fixed rod 48. A sliding member 49 is also slidably connected to the left part of the sixth fixed rod 481. A third spring 50 is wound between the upper part of the front sliding member 49 and the fifth fixed rod 48. A third spring 50 is wound between the upper part of the rear sliding member 49 and the sixth fixed rod 481. The third springs 50 are all wound around the corresponding sliding members 49. A material feeding member 51 is rotatably connected between the lower parts of the sliding members 49. A third motor 52 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the rear sliding member 49. The front part of the output shaft of the third motor 52 is fixedly connected to the material feeding member 51.

[0056] In the initial state, because the material-pushing component 51 is pressed against the field ground, it will slightly press the soil downwards. The third spring 50 is stretched, and it will also apply a downward force to the sliding component 49 and the material-pushing component 51, so that the material-pushing component 51 can stick to the ground. Then, to prevent the peanut vines and peanut fruits that have been cleaned of soil from being reattached to gravel, the third motor 52 can be started. Driven by the output shaft of the third motor 52, the material-pushing component 51 rotates. At this time, as the side plate 101 moves, the material-pushing component 51 will push the gravel on the ground away from the harvester frame 1. Then the peanut vines that have been cleaned of soil will fall onto the ground that has been cleaned of gravel. In this way, the gravel can be prevented from being reattached to the peanut fruits. After a row of peanuts has been harvested and cleaned, the third motor 52 can be turned off. By pushing away the gravel on the ground with the material-pushing component 51, the gravel is prevented from being reattached to the peanut fruits, thus reducing the amount of gravel attached to the peanut fruits.

[0057] like Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, it also includes a baffle mechanism, which is located on the upper part of the connecting frame 102. The baffle mechanism is used to clean the soil off the peanuts in batches. The baffle mechanism includes a reciprocating screw 57, which is rotatably connected to the upper right side of the connecting frame 102. A baffle plate 53 is threadedly connected to the reciprocating screw 57. The baffle plate 53 is slidably connected to the connecting frame 102. A second guide rod 54 is fixedly connected to the upper left side of the connecting frame 102. The second guide rod 54 is slidably connected to the baffle plate 53. A second rotating rod 56 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the reciprocating screw 57. The second rotating rod 56 is rotatably connected to the right guide frame 103. A transmission wheel 55 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the second rotating rod 56. The transmission wheel 55 contacts the transmission belt 15 on the right side. A rubber block 531 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the baffle plate 53.

[0058] When the right-side drive belt 15 operates, it drives the drive wheel 55 and the second rotating rod 56 to rotate together. The second rotating rod 56 then drives the reciprocating screw 57 to rotate. Under the drive of the reciprocating screw 57, the baffle plate 53 begins to move up and down reciprocatingly, and the rubber block 531 moves along with it. When the baffle plate 53 and the rubber block 531 move upwards, the peanut vines can be normally conveyed backwards into the mud-throwing basket 21, thus cleaning the mud attached to the peanut fruits. Then, when the reciprocating screw 57... After the baffle plate 53 and rubber block 531 move downwards to their reset position, the peanut vines will be blocked during the backward conveying process, thus temporarily preventing them from entering the mud-throwing basket 21. The purpose of setting the rubber block 531 is to prevent the baffle plate 53 from crushing the peanut fruits. As the reciprocating screw 57 continues to rotate, the above process is repeated. In this way, peanut vines can be automatically fed into the mud-throwing basket 21 in batches, avoiding the problem of poor separation effect of the mud-throwing basket 21 due to too many peanut vines being fed in at one time, which helps to reduce the amount of gravel attached to the peanut fruits.

Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
