Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of agricultural machinery, and particularly to an automatic natural rubber tapping machine with a cleanable tapping knife head. Background Art

[0002] Natural rubber is an important industrial raw material and strategic resource, which is widely used in many fields such as industry, agriculture, transportation, machinery manufacturing, medicine and health, and daily life, and the consumption demand shows an increasing trend year by year. At present, the rubber tapping process in most rubber plantations still relies heavily on manual labor. The rubber tapping cost accounts for about 70% of the total rubber plantation management cost. At the same time, manual rubber tapping has high technical requirements for rubber tappers, with high labor intensity and low efficiency. Coupled with the decreasing number of rubber tappers, the intelligent and automatic rubber tapping technology is becoming more and more urgent.

[0003] Therefore, various rubber plantations have mostly carried out automatic rubber tapping technology to replace manual rubber tapping operations. Among them, the "one machine for one tree" and "one machine for multiple trees" models are the most studied rubber tapping technologies at present, and the "one machine for multiple trees" model is also the most promising automatic rubber tapping technology at the present stage. "One machine for multiple trees" means that a rubber tapping component is set on the working end of a self - movable rubber tapping robot. After the rubber tapping robot moves to the position of the target rubber tree, by identifying the identification plate on the tree, etc., it retrieves the tapping position or identifies the tapping track on the tree trunk through establishing a database, automatically calculates the initial tapping point and the tapping path line for this time, and then carries out the rubber tapping operation.

[0004] However, the "one machine for multiple trees" model also has some disadvantages. Currently, it generally mounts a robotic arm and suspends a single rubber tapping component, resulting in a high overall machine cost; and during the rubber tapping process, the rubber tapping component is constantly affected by the changing reaction force of the tree bark, which is likely to cause the instability of the rubber tapping component, and then lead to inaccurate cutting of the tree bark. At the same time, natural rubber trees are prone to diseases such as anthracnose, powdery mildew and root diseases, which harm the leaves and bark of natural rubber trees, causing problems such as postponed rubber tapping time and reduced latex production. Currently, during manual rubber tapping and "one machine for multiple trees" rubber tapping, only a single rubber tapping knife is used to carry out the rubber tapping operation on the rubber trees in the entire rubber forest, resulting in the inner bark of multiple different rubber trees being in close contact with the blade of the same rubber tapping knife, and it is extremely easy to spread rubber tree diseases through the rubber tapping blade, causing cross - infection to the natural rubber trees in the entire rubber forest. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an automatic natural rubber tapping machine with a cleanable tapping knife head, which realizes tree - adhering profiling and precise control of the tapping depth during rubber tapping. While realizing the "one machine for multiple trees" rubber tapping mode, after each single rubber tapping operation is completed, the rubber tapping blade is cleaned and disinfected, effectively avoiding the spread of rubber tree diseases through the rubber tapping blade, and thus preventing the occurrence of cross - infection problems to the natural rubber trees in the entire rubber forest.

The internal waterproof housing 60 is used to protect the depth limiting mechanism 47, and a control circuit board 61 and a battery 62 are provided at the top of the internal waterproof housing 60. The control circuit board 61 is electrically connected to the depth limiting mechanism 47, the rubber tapping mechanism 63, and the profiling distance measuring module 44, and is used to receive and transmit the distance information collected by the rubber tapping mechanism 6 and the profiling distance measuring module 44, and control the depth limiting mechanism 47; the battery 62 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 61 and is used to provide power.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present invention, a waterproof film is laid on the surfaces of the internal waterproof housing 60 and the control circuit board 61 to prevent the disinfectant from wetting the internal mechanical structure and the circuit module, and to ensure the stable operation of the program.

[0064] Figure 9 The three-dimensional structure of the rubber tapping mechanism provided according to the embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0065] As Figure 9 shown, the rubber tapping mechanism 63 includes a tool connecting piece 64, a blade fixing seat 65, a buffer spring 66, a rubber tapping blade 67, a depth control piece 68, a vertical waterproof baffle 69 and a multi-purpose ranging module 70.

[0066] Among them, the tool connecting piece 64 is located on the front slider back plate 50 and is connected to the U-shaped part 5, and the blade fixing seat 65 is connected to the tool connecting piece 64 through a pin, so that the tool connecting piece 64 swings horizontally on the blade fixing seat 65, and the relative position between the blade fixing seat 65 and the tool connecting piece 64 is adjusted through the buffer spring 66.

[0067] The rubber tapping blade 67 is fixed on the depth control piece 68. A chute is opened on the blade fixing seat 65 and is matched with a locking bolt on the depth control piece 68 to install the depth control piece 68 on the blade fixing seat 65, and the extending amount of the rubber tapping blade 67 is adjusted by sliding and rotating the locking bolt, so as to adjust the rubber tapping depth of the rubber tapping blade 67.

[0068] The vertical waterproof baffle 69 is fixed on the U-shaped part 5 and close to the tool connecting piece 64, and is used together with the internal waterproof shell 60 to block the depth limiting mechanism 47 during the cleaning and disinfection process of the blade cleaning mechanism 31.

[0069] The multi-purpose ranging module 70 is fixed at the top of the vertical waterproof baffle 69, and a film for preventing the disinfection liquid from getting wet is laid on its surface, which is used to measure the distance between the rubber tapping blade 67 and the rubber tree to be tapped, and to detect the positioning point of the rubber tapping blade 67 in the waterproof isolation housing 32.

[0070] The working modes of the natural rubber automatic rubber tapping machine with a cleanable rubber tapping cutter head provided by the embodiments of the present invention include a rubber tapping mode and a cleaning mode.

[0071] During the rubber tapping mode, the mobile chassis 1 moves and approaches the rubber tree to be tapped, the clamping device 3 is in close contact with the current rubber tree to be tapped, and at the same time, the recognition camera 41 takes pictures of the bark surface of the rubber tree to be tapped and transmits them back to the industrial control computer 6. The industrial control computer 6 analyzes the previous rubber tapping trajectory of the current rubber tree to be tapped and formulates the current rubber tapping trajectory, and then controls the sliding guide rail through the driving motor 5 to adjust the position of the rubber tapping assembly 22, so that the rubber tapping assembly 22 gradually approaches and contacts the current rubber tree to be tapped.

[0072] After the rubber tapping assembly 22 contacts the current rubber tree to be tapped, the depth limiting mechanism 47 adjusts the rubber tapping depth of the rubber tapping blade 67. After determining the rubber tapping depth, the gear transmission mechanism 23 cooperates with the sliding guide rail to drive the rubber tapping mechanism 63 to perform a rotary rubber tapping action with a vertical movement around the current rubber tree to be tapped. Among them, the rubber tapping range of the gear transmission mechanism 23 driving the rubber tapping mechanism 63 is 2 / 3 of the cross-section of the current rubber tree to be tapped. During the rubber tapping action, the profiling ranging module 44 performs real-time feedback of the tree-attached distance, so that the rubber tapping mechanism 63 stably faces the rubber tapping trajectory and completes the tree-attached profiling rubber tapping relying on the depth limiting mechanism 47.

[0073] The cleaning mode starts at the end of the rubber tapping action on the current rubber tree to be tapped. The gear transmission mechanism 23 and the sliding guide rail drive the rubber tapping mechanism 63 away from the current rubber tree to be tapped, and the mobile chassis 1 goes to the next rubber tree to be tapped.

[0074] At this time, the gear transmission mechanism 23 continues to drive the rubber tapping mechanism 63 to rotate into the cleaning area of the waterproof isolation housing 32. When the multi-purpose ranging module 70 detects the cleaning positioning point, the gear transmission mechanism 23 stops operating, and the cleaning nozzle 33 sprays the pure liquid in the liquid storage tank 39 to clean the rubber tapping blade 67.

[0075] After the cleaning operation for the set time is completed, the gear transmission mechanism 23 continues to drive the rubber tapping mechanism 63 to push the water separation plate 34 into the disinfection area. When the multi-purpose ranging module 70 detects the cleaning positioning point, the gear transmission mechanism 23 stops running again. First, it is wiped by the brush assembly 36, then the disinfectant liquid in the liquid storage tank 39 is sprayed by the disinfection nozzle 37 to disinfect and sterilize the rubber tapping blade 67, and finally it is dried by the warm air fan 38.

[0076] During the cleaning process and the disinfection process, the depth limiting mechanism 47 drives the rubber tapping mechanism 63 to move reciprocally to increase the cleaning and disinfection area, so that the rubber tapping mechanism 63 can be comprehensively cleaned and disinfected.

[0077] When the disinfection work is completed, the identification camera 41 detects the cleaning completion situation of the rubber tapping blade 41. If foreign objects are detected on the rubber tapping blade 41, the above content is repeated to clean the rubber tapping mechanism 63 again; if the detection and monitoring are completed, the wheel transmission mechanism 23 drives the rubber tapping mechanism 63 to rotate out of the waterproof isolation housing 23. When the mobile chassis 1 has completed its movement, the above rubber tapping mode is repeated.

[0078] The above specific implementation manners do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
