AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the work of trellising grapevines is labor-intensive. After mechanized soil clearing, some grapevines are buried and need to be repeatedly cleared and lifted manually, making it difficult to achieve mechanized vine lifting and easily damaging the vines.
Design a combination of pole-lifting and finger-operated grapevine lifting device, including a lifting and translating structure, a crank rocker structure, a vine-supporting finger chain structure, a vine-separating and blocking bar structure, and a distance detection structure. Through hydraulic control and sensor detection, the device can automatically lift and avoid obstacles for the grapevine.
It enables the lifting of grapevines without stopping the machine when they are buried, reducing labor intensity, avoiding damage to the vines, and adapting to the needs of lifting at different heights.
