Description
A grape harvesting and transfer system Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of grape cultivation technology, and in particular to a grape harvesting and transportation system. Background Technology
[0002] Grape harvesting is one of the most important procedures for grape growers, and in most cases, grapes are picked by hand. Hand picking is done with knives and / or shears, and can be done manually or electrically. After the whole bunch of grapes is cut, workers place them in collection baskets and transfer them to the winery (for wine grape varieties) or a special warehouse (for table grape varieties). Table grape varieties can only be harvested by hand. They cannot be harvested mechanically because it would cause bruising. After harvesting, table grapes are cooled and transferred to packaging warehouses. Currently, due to the large and dense vineyard areas, manual harvesting followed by manual transport of baskets of grapes to the outside of the vineyard for unified transport is necessary. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, as grapes ripen quickly, leading to losses and high labor costs. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a grape harvesting and transportation system that is convenient for transportation and saves manpower.
[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a grape harvesting and transfer system, comprising a frame, a conveying device mounted on the frame, a transport frame slidably connected to the frame, a lifting device mounted on the transport frame, and a connecting member mounted on a grape basket. The conveying device drives the transport frame to move on the frame. The conveying device includes a conveying motor, a drive gear, a driven gear, a chain, and an intermittent component. The conveying motor is mounted on the frame. The drive gear and the driven gear are rotatably connected to the frame. The drive gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the conveying motor. The chain connects the drive gear and the driven gear. The intermittent component includes a lever mounted on the chain, two sets of push-pull blocks mounted on the transport frame, and stop members respectively mounted at both ends of the frame. The lever is fixedly connected to the chain. The lever is in intermittent contact with the push-pull blocks. The stop members control the push-pull blocks to separate from the lever.
[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can realize the automatic transportation process of grape baskets. After the grapes are harvested manually, the grape baskets are placed in the rows of the grape greenhouse to wait for the transfer system to transport them. The conveying device in the present invention will transfer the transport rack to the designated place, and then the lifting device will connect with the connecting parts on the grape basket to lift the grape basket and transfer it to the place to be processed. This process can reduce the intensity of manual labor and improve work efficiency.
[0006] A further feature of the present invention is that the push block is provided with a protrusion, the push block is provided with a snap-fit block, and the snap-fit block is in intermittent contact with the protrusion.
[0007] A further configuration of the present invention is as follows: the stopping member is an extension column, the end of the extension column is an arc-shaped end, two extension columns are fixedly mounted on the frame and located on the sides of the drive gear and the driven gear, the two extension columns are respectively located on both sides of the chain, the push-pull block is rotatably connected to the transport frame, one end of the push-pull block is provided with an inclined end, the tip of the inclined end is close to the side of the chain, the extension column and the push-pull block are located on the same straight line and parallel to the chain.
[0008] A further configuration of the present invention is as follows: a first limiting post, a second limiting post, and a limiting spring are fixedly provided on both sides of the transport frame located outside the chain. The first limiting post and the second limiting post are both located on the side of the transport frame away from the chain. The first limiting post is located at the end of the push-pull block near the rotation center of the push-pull block. When the extension post and the push-pull block are on the same axis, the first limiting post is in contact with the push-pull block. The second limiting post is located at the other end of the rotation center of the push-pull block. The two ends of the limiting spring are respectively connected to the second limiting post and the push-pull block.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the conveyor motor drives the drive gear to rotate, and the drive gear drives the driven gear to rotate through the chain. The paddle block fixedly connected to the chain also moves with the chain. The protrusion on the paddle block will push the locking block to drive the push-pull block to move. The push-pull block is connected to the transport frame, so it will drive the transport frame to slide synchronously on the frame. Since the push-pull block is rotatably connected to the transport frame, when the paddle block pushes the push-pull block, the first limit post on the transport frame will limit it, so that the push-pull block can maintain a horizontal position. When the push-pull block drives the transport frame to the end of the frame, the extension post at the end will abut against the inclined end on the push-pull block. Then the push-pull block will rotate, so that the locking block on the push-pull block will separate from the protrusion on the paddle block. At this time, the push-pull block drives the transport frame to one end of the frame, and the lifting device below will be activated to pick up and position the grape basket.
[0010] A further configuration of the present invention is as follows: the lifting device includes a drive motor, a drive shaft, a limiting ratchet, a rotating component, and a lifting component. The drive motor is mounted on the transport frame, the drive shaft is rotatably connected to the transport frame, the drive shaft is coaxially fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, a lever is radially fixedly connected to the end of the drive shaft, the limiting ratchet is fixedly mounted on the transport frame and coaxially mounted with the drive shaft, the rotating component is rotatably mounted on the drive shaft, a lifting component is connected below the rotating component, and the lever controls the rotating component to rotate.
[0011] A further configuration of the present invention is as follows: the rotating component includes a rotating cylinder, a connecting rod, a shaft, a pawl, a torsion spring, a pressure rod, and a push rod. The rotating cylinder is rotatably connected to the drive shaft. The connecting rod is radially fixedly connected to the rotating cylinder. The shaft is vertically fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod. The pawl is rotatably connected to the shaft. The torsion spring is rotatably connected to the shaft, and the torsion spring controls the pawl to contact the limiting ratchet. The pressure rod is rotatably connected to the end of the shaft away from the pawl. The push rod is rotatably connected to the end of the pressure rod. The lifting component is disposed at the end of the push rod. A lever is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, and the direction of the lever is parallel to the direction of the drive shaft. The lever actuates the lever, causing the connecting rod to rotate.
[0012] A further feature of the present invention is that two guide plates are arranged in parallel on the transport frame, the push rod is slidably inserted into the two guide plates, a limit plate is coaxially arranged on the push rod, and a compression spring is connected between the limit plate and the guide plate.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lifting device is above the connector on the grape basket, the drive motor will drive the shaft to rotate, and the drive shaft will drive the actuating rod to rotate. During the rotation of the actuating rod, the actuating rod will drive the rotating component to rotate through the actuating lever. During the rotation of the connecting rod on the rotating component, it will drive the pressure rod and push rod to rotate. The lower part of the push rod is slidably connected to the guide plate on the transport frame, so the push rod will move downward. Since the ratchet teeth of the limiting ratchet are set in a clockwise inclination, the limiting ratchet will not obstruct the pawl while it is in contact with the limiting ratchet. At this time, the lifting block below will connect with the connector on the grape basket, lifting the grape basket for movement. Then the compression spring below the push rod will rebound and push the push rod upward. At this time, the pawl will move to the upper side of the limiting ratchet, and then the pawl will abut against the limiting ratchet, so that the push rod will not continue to rise. When the transport reaches the destination, only manual removal of the grape basket is required, without the need for manual heavy lifting.
[0014] A further embodiment of the present invention is that the lifting member includes a lifting block, the lifting block has an insertion hole, and the two sides of the lifting block are radially opposite each other with telescopic cavities. A pull rod is slidably connected in the telescopic cavity, and a receiving block is provided at the end of the pull rod. A lifting spring is connected between the receiving block and the telescopic cavity.
[0015] A further embodiment of the present invention is that the connector includes a base disposed on a grape basket, a sliding rod is vertically disposed on the base, a fixed frustum block is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding rod, and a movable frustum block is slidably connected to the sliding rod between the fixed frustum block and the base.
[0016] A further configuration of the present invention is that the lower bottom surface of the fixed frustum block faces the base, and the upper bottom surface of the movable frustum block faces the base.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lifting block moves downward, the receiving block at the end of the pull rod in the lifting block will first contact the fixed truncated cone block. Then, as it continues to move downward, the elastic force of the compression spring will push the receiving block at the end of the pull rod to be below the fixed truncated cone block. At this time, when the push rod moves upward again, it will pull up the fixed truncated cone block and lift the grape basket. When transported to the destination, the grape basket is lifted upward manually and then taken out downward. Since the lower end of the receiving block is an inclined surface, when the receiving block at the end of the pull rod contacts the movable truncated cone block below, it will push the pull rod to retract into the telescopic cavity. Then, when the receiving block drives the movable truncated cone block to move upward synchronously until the fixed truncated cone block and the movable truncated cone block collide, the receiving block will rise along the side of the fixed truncated cone block during the downward movement of the grape basket, and the grape basket will be successfully removed.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0019] 1. This invention enables the automatic transportation process of grape baskets. After the grapes are harvested manually, the grape baskets are placed in the rows of the grape greenhouse to await transportation by the transfer system. The conveying device in this invention will transfer the transport rack to the designated location, and then the lifting device will connect with the connector on the grape basket to lift the grape basket and transfer it to the place to be processed. This process can reduce the intensity of manual labor and improve work efficiency.
[0020] 2. In this invention, the conveyor motor drives the drive gear to rotate, and the drive gear drives the driven gear to rotate through the chain. The paddle block fixedly connected to the chain also moves with the chain. The protrusion on the paddle block will paddle the locking block and drive the push-pull block to move. The push-pull block is connected to the transport frame, so it will drive the transport frame to slide synchronously on the frame. Since the push-pull block is rotatably connected to the transport frame, when the paddle block paddles the push-pull block, the first limiting post on the transport frame will limit it, so that the push-pull block can maintain a horizontal position. When the push-pull block drives the transport frame to the end of the frame, the extension post at the end will abut against the inclined end on the push-pull block. Then the push-pull block will rotate, so that the locking block on the push-pull block will separate from the protrusion on the paddle block. At this time, the push-pull block drives the transport frame to one end of the frame, and the lifting device below will be activated to extract and position the grape basket.
[0021] 3. When the lifting device is above the connector on the grape basket, the drive motor will drive the shaft to rotate. The drive shaft will drive the actuating rod to rotate. During the rotation of the actuating rod, the actuating rod will drive the rotating component to rotate through the actuating lever. During the rotation of the connecting rod on the rotating component, it will drive the pressure rod and push rod to rotate. The push rod is slidably connected to the guide plate on the transport frame. Therefore, the push rod will move downward. Since the ratchet teeth of the limiting ratchet are set to be clockwise, the limiting ratchet will not obstruct the pawl while it is in contact with the limiting ratchet. At this time, the lifting block below will connect with the connector on the grape basket, lifting the grape basket for movement. When it reaches the destination, the grape basket can be removed manually without manual heavy lifting.
[0022] 4. When the lifting block moves downward, the receiving block at the end of the pull rod in the lifting block will first contact the fixed truncated cone block. Then, as it continues to move downward, the elastic force of the compression spring will push the receiving block at the end of the pull rod to be below the fixed truncated cone block. At this time, when the push rod moves upward again, it will pull up the fixed truncated cone block and lift the grape basket. When transported to the destination, the grape basket is lifted upward manually and then taken out downward. Since the lower end of the receiving block is an inclined surface, when the receiving block at the end of the pull rod contacts the movable truncated cone block below, it will push the pull rod back into the telescopic cavity. Then, when the receiving block drives the movable truncated cone block to move upward synchronously until the fixed truncated cone block and the movable truncated cone block collide, the receiving block will rise along the side of the fixed truncated cone block during the downward movement of the grape basket, and the grape basket will be successfully removed.

Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0038] As shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, an embodiment of a grape harvesting and transfer system includes a frame 1, a conveying device 2 mounted on the frame 1, a transport frame 3 slidably connected to the frame 1, a lifting device 4 mounted on the transport frame 3, and a connecting member mounted on a grape basket 7. The conveying device 2 drives the transport frame 3 to move on the frame 1. The conveying device 2 includes a conveying motor 21, a drive gear 22, a driven gear 23, a chain 24, and an intermittent component. The conveying motor 21 is mounted on the frame 1, and the drive gear 22 and the driven gear... The driven gear 23 is rotatably connected to the frame 1. The drive gear 22 is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the conveyor motor 21. The chain 24 is connected between the drive gear 22 and the driven gear 23. The intermittent component includes a paddle 25 disposed on the chain 24, two sets of push-pull blocks 26 disposed on the transport frame 3, and stop components disposed at both ends of the frame 1. The paddle 25 is fixedly connected to the chain 24. The paddle 25 is in intermittent contact with the push-pull blocks 26. The stop components control the push-pull blocks 26 to separate from the paddle 25.
[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can realize the automatic transportation process of grape basket 7. After the grapes are harvested by hand, the grape basket 7 will be placed in the row spacing of the grape greenhouse to wait for the transfer system to transport them. The conveying device 2 in the present invention will transfer the transport rack 3 to the designated place. Then the lifting device 4 will connect with the connector on the grape basket 7 to lift the grape basket 7 and transfer it to the place to be processed. This process can reduce the intensity of manual labor and improve work efficiency.
[0040] As shown in Figure 4, the present invention is further configured such that: a protrusion 251 is provided on the push block 25, and a snap-fit block 261 is provided on the push-pull block 26, and the snap-fit block 261 is in intermittent contact with the protrusion 251.
[0041] As shown in Figure 4, the present invention is further configured as follows: the stopping member is an extension column 27, the end of the extension column 27 is an arc-shaped end, two extension columns 27 are fixedly mounted on the frame 1 and located on the side of the drive gear 22 and the driven gear 23, the two extension columns 27 are respectively located on both sides of the chain 24, the push-pull block 26 is rotatably connected to the transport frame 3, one end of the push-pull block 26 is provided with an inclined end 262, the tip of the inclined end 262 is close to the side of the chain 24, the extension column 27 and the push-pull block 26 are located on the same straight line and parallel to the chain 24.
[0042] As shown in Figure 4, the present invention is further configured such that: a first limiting post 28, a second limiting post 29, and a limiting spring 291 are fixedly provided on both sides of the transport frame 3 outside the chain 24. The first limiting post 28 and the second limiting post 29 are both located on the side of the transport frame 3 away from the chain 24. The first limiting post 28 is located at the end of the push-pull block 26 near the center of rotation of the push-pull block 26. When the push-pull block 26 and the extension post 27 are on the same axis, the first limiting post 28 is in contact with the push-pull block 26. The second limiting post 29 is located at the other end of the center of rotation of the push-pull block 26. The two ends of the limiting spring 291 are respectively connected to the second limiting post 29 and the push-pull block 26.
[0043] By adopting the above technical solution, the conveyor motor 21 drives the drive gear 22 to rotate, and the drive gear 22 drives the driven gear 23 to rotate through the chain 24. The paddle 25, which is fixedly connected to the chain 24, also moves with the chain 24. The protrusion 251 on the paddle 25 will push the locking block 261 to move the push-pull block 26. The push-pull block 26 is connected to the transport frame 3, so it will drive the transport frame 3 to slide synchronously on the frame 1. Since the push-pull block 26 is rotatably connected to the transport frame 3, when the paddle 25 pushes the push-pull block... At 26 o'clock, the first limiting post 28 on the transport frame 3 will limit the movement, so that the push-pull block 26 can maintain a horizontal position. When the push-pull block 26 moves the transport frame 3 to the end of the frame 1, the extension post 27 at the end will abut against the inclined end 262 on the push-pull block 26. Then the push-pull block 26 will rotate, so that the locking block 261 on the push-pull block 26 will separate from the protrusion 251 on the push block 25. At this time, the push-pull block 26 will move the transport frame 3 to one end of the frame 1, and the lifting device 4 below will be activated to extract and position the grape basket 7.
[0044] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the present invention is further configured as follows: the lifting device 4 includes a drive motor 41, a drive shaft 42, a limiting ratchet 43, a rotating component 45, and a lifting component. The drive motor 41 is mounted on the transport frame 3. The drive shaft 42 is rotatably connected to the transport frame 3 and coaxially fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 41. A lever 44 is radially fixedly connected to the end of the drive shaft 42. The limiting ratchet 43 is fixedly mounted on the transport frame 3 and coaxially mounted with the drive shaft 42. The rotating component 45 is rotatably mounted on the drive shaft 42. A lifting component is connected below the rotating component 45. The lever 44 controls the rotating component 45 to rotate.
[0045] As shown in Figures 6, 7, 8, and 9, the present invention is further configured as follows: the rotating component 45 includes a rotating cylinder 451, a connecting rod 452, a shaft 453, a pawl 454, a torsion spring 455, a pressure rod 456, and a push rod 457. The rotating cylinder 451 is rotatably connected to the drive shaft 42. The connecting rod 452 is radially fixedly connected to the rotating cylinder 451. The shaft 453 is vertically fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 452. The pawl 454 is rotatably connected to the shaft 453. The torsion spring 457 is rotatably connected to the drive shaft 42. On the shaft 453, the torsion spring 455 controls the pawl 454 to contact the limiting ratchet 43. The pressure rod 456 is rotatably connected to the end of the shaft 453 away from the pawl 454. The push rod 457 is rotatably connected to the end of the pressure rod 456. The lifting member is disposed at the end of the push rod 457. A lever 4521 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 452. The direction of the lever 4521 is parallel to the direction of the drive shaft 42. The actuating rod 44 actuates the lever 4521, causing the connecting rod 452 to rotate.
[0046] As shown in Figure 6, the present invention is further configured such that: two guide plates 11 are arranged in parallel on the transport frame 3, the push rod 457 is slidably inserted into the two guide plates 11, a limit plate 4571 is coaxially arranged on the push rod 457, and a compression spring 458 is connected between the limit plate 4571 and the guide plate 11.
[0047] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lifting device 4 is above the connector on the grape basket 7, the drive motor 41 will drive the shaft 42 to rotate. The drive shaft 42 will drive the actuating rod 44 to rotate. During the rotation of the actuating rod 44, the actuating rod 44 will drive the rotating part 45 to rotate through the actuating rod 4521. During the rotation of the connecting rod 452 on the rotating part 45, the pressure rod 456 and the push rod 457 will rotate. The lower part of the push rod 457 is slidably connected to the guide plate 11 on the transport frame 3, so the push rod 457 will move downward. Since the ratchet teeth of the limiting ratchet 43 are set to be clockwise inclined, Therefore, while the pawl 454 is in contact with the limiting ratchet 43, the limiting ratchet 43 will not obstruct the pawl 454. At this time, the lifting block 5 below will connect with the connector on the grape basket 7, lifting the grape basket 7 for movement. Then, the compression spring 458 below the push rod 457 will rebound, pushing the push rod 457 upward. At this time, the pawl 454 will move to the upper side of the limiting ratchet 43, and then the pawl 454 will abut against the limiting ratchet 43, so that the push rod 457 will not continue to rise. When the transportation reaches the destination, the grape basket 7 can be removed manually without manual heavy lifting.
[0048] As shown in Figures 7 and 11, the present invention is further configured such that: the lifting member includes a lifting block 5, the lifting block 5 is provided with a insertion hole 51, the two sides of the lifting block 5 are radially opposite to each other with telescopic cavities 52, a pull rod 53 is slidably connected in the telescopic cavity 52, a receiving block 54 is provided at the end of the pull rod 53, and a lifting spring 55 is connected between the receiving block 54 and the telescopic cavity 52.
[0049] As shown in Figures 9, 10, 11, and 12, the present invention is further configured such that: the connecting member includes a base 61 disposed on the grape basket 7, a sliding rod 62 is vertically disposed on the base 61, a fixed frustum block 63 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding rod 62, and a movable frustum block 64 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 62 between the fixed frustum block and the base 61.
[0050] As shown in Figure 10, the present invention is further configured such that the lower bottom surface of the fixed frustum block 63 faces the base 61, and the upper bottom surface of the movable frustum block 64 faces the base 61.
[0051] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lifting block 5 moves downward, the receiving block 54 at the end of the pull rod 53 in the lifting block 5 will first contact the fixed truncated cone block 63. Then, when it continues to move downward, the elastic force of the compression spring 458 will push the receiving block 54 at the end of the pull rod 53 to be below the fixed truncated cone block 63. At this time, when the push rod 457 moves upward again, it will pull up the fixed truncated cone block 63 and lift the grape basket 7. When it is transported to the destination, the grape basket 7 is lifted upward by hand and then taken out downward. Since the lower end of the receiving block 54 is an inclined surface, when the receiving block 54 at the end of the pull rod 53 contacts the movable truncated cone block 64 below, it will push the pull rod 53 to retract into the telescopic cavity 52. Then, when the receiving block 54 drives the movable truncated cone block 64 to move upward synchronously until the fixed truncated cone block 63 and the movable truncated cone block 64 collide, the receiving block 54 will rise along the side of the fixed truncated cone block 63 during the downward movement of the grape basket 7, and the grape basket 7 will be successfully removed.
[0052] This invention enables the automated transport process of grape baskets 7. After the grapes are harvested manually, the grape baskets 7 are placed in the rows of the grape greenhouse to await transport by the transfer system. The conveying device 2 in this invention will transfer the transport rack 3 to the designated location. Then, the lifting device 4 connects to the connector on the grape basket 7 to lift the grape basket 7 and transfer it to the place to be processed. This process can reduce the intensity of manual labor and improve work efficiency.
