For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of these terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0038] The present embodiment provides a rice transplanter profiling feedback device, as shown in Figure 1 , comprising a float 100, a tension sensor 200 and a feedback assembly 300.
[0039] The float 100 is used for profiling along the ground. When the rice transplanter is running, the float 100 is attached to the ground and moves along the ups and downs of the ground. The tension sensor 200 is connected with a controller for driving the insertion part to lift. Specifically, the controller is connected with a solenoid valve, and when the controller receives the signal feedback of the tension sensor 200, the opening of the solenoid valve is changed, and the solenoid valve controls the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder, thereby driving the insertion part to lift.
[0040] As shown in Figure 2 , 3As shown in FIG. 4, the feedback assembly 300 comprises a guide 310, a pull wire 320, a pull sleeve 330 and a limiting piece 340. The guide 310 is rotationally connected to the float 100 and can move with the float 100. One end of the pull wire 320 is connected to the frame of the transplanter, and the other end is fixedly connected to the tension sensor 200. The limiting piece 340 is fixed to the frame, and the pull sleeve 330 is located between the limiting piece 340 and the guide 310. The pull wire 320 is arranged in the pull sleeve 330 and can move relative to the pull sleeve 330. When the guide 310 moves, it can press the pull sleeve 330 together with the limiting piece 340, causing the pull sleeve 330 to deform and thereby pull the pull wire 320, so that the pull wire 320 transmits the force to the tension sensor 200.
[0041] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the float 100 is hinged to the guide 310, the pull wire 320 is connected to the tension sensor 200 through the tension spring 210, the feedback assembly 300 transmits the force of the float 100 in the plumb direction to the tension sensor 200, thereby controlling the lifting of the planting part. When the float 100 passes through the soil slope, the float moves upward, pushing the limiting piece 340 to press the pull sleeve 330 together with the guide 310, causing the pull sleeve 330 to bend and deform, thereby causing the pull wire 320 to pull the tension spring 210 of the tension sensor 200, and the tension sensor 200 makes a signal feedback. Figure 2 As a comparative example, if the tension sensor 200 is placed on the side of the float 100 close to the ground, the tension spring 210 of the tension sensor 200 is located between the float 100 and the tension sensor 200. When the float 100 moves upward, it can directly pull the tension spring 210 and transmit the force to the tension sensor 200. However, this way makes the tension sensor 200 too close to the ground, and the soil dust greatly reduces the service life of the tension sensor 200.
[0042] Therefore, by arranging the feedback assembly 300 between the float 100 and the tension sensor 200, the tension sensor 200 is away from the ground and the float 100, ensuring its service life. At the same time, by using the cooperation of the pull wire 320 and the pull sleeve 330, the upward force of the float 100 is converted into the tension acting on the tension spring 210, so that the controller controls the lifting of the planting part. The pull sleeve and the pull wire both have high bending deformation ability, which can efficiently transmit the force and fully adapt to the internal space of the transplanter. Compared with the mechanical transmission in the related art, the structure is simplified, the volume is smaller, and the maintenance is simple. Further, the end of the pull sleeve 330 is provided with an envelope 333, which at least encloses part of the port of the pull sleeve 330. The envelope 333 prevents dust and other interfering substances from entering the envelope 333 and interfering with the movement of the pull wire 320.
[0043]
[0044] Specifically, the pull wire 320 is connected to the frame through a fixing member 350. The fixing member 350 includes a restraining rod 351, and the guide member 310 has a waist-shaped guide hole 311 into which the restraining rod 351 penetrates, so as to limit the movement path of the guide member 310, prevent the guide member 310 from swinging and shaking when the floating boat 100 drives the guide member 310 to move, and ensure that the force is fully transmitted to the pull sleeve 330, or even cause the pull sleeve 330 to interfere with the work of other parts of the rice transplanter.
[0045] More specifically, as shown in Figure 2 、 3 , the guide member 310 has two opposite mounting plates 312, each of which forms two opposite guide holes 311 into which the restraining rod penetrates, and the pull wire 320 is connected to the restraining rod and located between the two mounting plates 312. The hinge point of the guide member 310 and the floating boat 100 is also between the two mounting plates 312. At this time, the stress points of the guide member, the pull wire 320 and the pull sleeve 330 are located on the same straight line, and the mounting plates 312 effectively support them, the force transmission is efficient, and the accuracy of the work of the feedback assembly 300 and the floating boat 100 is further increased.
[0046] Further, the pull sleeve 330 is fixed to the guide member 310 and the limiting member 340 at both ends, for example, by using a double nut locking structure. Even if the limiting member and the guide member need to be arranged in a staggered manner due to internal assembly of the rice transplanter, the extrusion force of the two can still be stably applied to the pull sleeve.
[0047] According to some planting requirements, when the rice transplanter encounters a small soil slope, or in some special regions, if the pull wire 320 is directly fixed to the frame, the pull sleeve 330 will immediately pull the pull spring 210 to feed back the tension to the tension sensor 200 when the floating boat 100 is lifted to cause the pull sleeve 330 to bend and deform, and the planting part will adjust the repeated planting depth, which will cause the work efficiency of the rice transplanter to be low, consume a large amount of electric energy and mechanical energy, and cause the device to be damaged due to fatigue.
[0048] In order to solve the above problems, as shown in Figure 2 、 3As shown in Figure 5, the pull wire 320 is movably connected to the restraining rod 351 via a buffer member 360. The buffer member 360 has a waist-shaped buffer hole 361, into which the restraining rod 351 passes. The length direction of the buffer hole 361 is consistent with the length direction of the guide hole 311. The buffer member 360 is detachable and replaceable to adjust the length of the waist-shaped buffer hole 361. Users can select a suitable buffer member 360 to adapt to different rice planting needs. When the floating boat 100 encounters a small slope, it lifts upward, the pull sleeve 330 deforms, and the pull wire 320 first moves in the buffer hole 361 until it pulls the buffer member 360 and engages with the restraining rod 351. Then, the pull wire 320 applies the tension applied by the pull sleeve 330 to the tension spring 210, transmitting the tension to the tension sensor 200, causing the planting part to rise.
[0049] As an extension, one end of the pull sleeve 330 is fixed to the guide, and the other end is spaced a certain distance from the limiting member 340. When the float 100 moves upward, the guide pushes the pull sleeve 330 against the limiting member 340. Only then do the limiting member 340 and the guide begin to compress the pull sleeve 330, causing it to bend and deform. The pull wire 320 then feeds the force back to the tension sensor 200. This solution can be used in conjunction with the buffer 360. Even under different working conditions, terrains, and crops, the feedback component 300 can be adjusted instantly and conveniently. The planting height of the planting section is changed only when the float 100 is raised to the predetermined height, adapting to various work needs and ensuring work efficiency.
[0050] As an alternative, to accommodate various assembly spaces, such as Figure 5 As shown, the pull sleeve 330 has an adjusting element 331 in the middle for quickly adjusting the length of the pull sleeve 330. Specifically, the adjusting element 331 includes an adjusting sleeve 332, which is divided into two sections with internal threads of opposite directions. The pull sleeve 330 is also divided into two sections, which are threaded into different sections of the adjusting sleeve 332. The user can rotate the adjusting sleeve 332 to simultaneously screw the two ends of the pull sleeve 330 into or out of the adjusting sleeve 332 to achieve the desired length. Then, the two sections of the pull sleeve 330 are locked relative to the adjusting sleeve 332 with nuts to change the overall length of the pull sleeve 330.
[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the limiting member 340 is an L-shaped plate. The pull wire 320 passes through the limiting member 340 and can move relative to the limiting member 340, guiding the pull wire 320 to act stably on the tension spring 210 and preventing the pull wire 320 from being driven by the pull sleeve 330 to cause unnecessary displacement.
[0052] As another embodiment of this application, a rice transplanter is provided, including the rice transplanter contour feedback device, frame, and planting section described in the above embodiments. This rice transplanter employs a rice transplant contour method, as detailed below:
[0053] Step one: the floating boat 100 follows the ground surface, and when it encounters a soil slope, the floating boat 100 is lifted.
[0054] Step two: the guide 310 follows the floating boat 100 along the guide hole 311 and moves upward, and cooperates with the limiting piece 340 to extrude the pull sleeve 330, so that the pull sleeve 330 is bent and deformed.
[0055] Step three: the pull sleeve 330 is deformed, which drives the pull wire 320 to bend, and the pull wire 320 pulls the tension spring 210 of the tension sensor 200.
[0056] Step four: after the tension sensor 200 detects the tension, it feeds back the signal to the controller, the controller controls the opening degree of the electromagnetic valve, so that the hydraulic cylinder is shortened, and the insertion part is raised.
[0057] When the floating boat 100 descends, the tension acting on the tension spring 210 is removed, and the tension sensor 200 feeds back the signal to the controller, the hydraulic cylinder is shortened, and the insertion part is lowered.
[0058] In the present application, the terms "mounting", "setting", "provided with", "connecting", "connected", "sleeved" should be understood broadly. For example, it can be fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally configured; it can be mechanically connected, or electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication between two devices, elements or components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0059] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes to the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
