Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural machinery technology, and specifically relates to a grass-planting machine for harvesting *Scleroderma purpurea*. Background Technology

[0002] Stachys affinis, also known as spiral vegetable, is mostly grown in open fields. Field cultivation generally falls into two categories: ridged planting with mulch and flat planting with or without mulch. For flat planting with or without mulch, harvesting currently involves two methods: manual digging and mechanical digging. Manual digging is inefficient and costly, a significant obstacle to industry development, while mechanical digging represents the future trend. Current mechanical harvesting mechanisms for spiral vegetables primarily involve adjusting the digging shovel height, which moves forward synchronously with the machine to separate the roots from the underlying soil. However, these devices cannot reach deeper soil layers, resulting in some spiral vegetables being missed and reduced profits. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a grass-planting machine to address the problem that digging devices cannot reach grass-planting plants that grow in deeper soil, thus missing some grass-planting plants and reducing profits.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following solution:

[0005] A grass-planting scleroderma harvester includes:

[0006] The machine comprises a main body, a moving device, a cutting device, a harvesting device, a screening device, and a storage device. The main body is equipped with wheels. The moving device is located on one side of the main body and is used to move the main body in a predetermined direction. The cutting device is located at the end of the moving device away from the main body and is used to cut off the stems of *Cynanchum paniculatum* on the ground and place the stems on one side of the moving device. The harvesting device is located inside the main body and near one end of the moving device. The harvesting device includes a first digging component and a second digging component. The first digging component is located below the second digging component and is hinged to the main body. The second digging component is used to remove the upper layer of *Cynanchum paniculatum*, and the first digging component is used to remove the lower layer. The screening device is fixedly connected to the main body and is located on the side of the harvesting device away from the moving device. The storage device is fixedly connected to one end of the main body, and the inlet end of the storage device is connected to the outlet end of the screening device.

[0007] Preferably, the first digging component and the second digging component include a harvesting section and a screening section, wherein the harvesting section is used to collect caddisflies and soil, and the screening section is used to separate caddisflies and soil.

[0008] Preferably, the harvesting device further includes a rotating shaft, which is fixedly connected to the machine body and hinged to the second digging assembly.

[0009] Preferably, a second cleaning plate is provided above one end of the second excavation assembly and is connected to the rotating shaft. The second cleaning plate is used to clean the blockages in the second excavation assembly.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting component is provided at the hinge joint between the first digging component and the machine body to fix the height of the first digging component after adjustment.

[0011] Preferably, a first cleaning plate is provided below one end of the first digging component and is fixedly connected to the machine body. The first cleaning plate is used to clean the blockages inside the first digging component.

[0012] Preferably, the screening device includes a vibration component and a sorting component, the vibration component is disposed on the sorting component, and the sorting component is fixedly connected to the machine body.

[0013] Preferably, the sorting component is provided with a plurality of through holes, which are used to separate phytoheda from soil.

[0014] Preferably, the vibration assembly includes a cam and a push rod, one end of the push rod is fixedly connected to the sorting assembly, the cam is connected to the wheel belt, and the cam is used to drive the push rod to move up and down.

[0015] Preferably, the vibration assembly further includes a speed-changing wheel, which is disposed on one side of the cam and has several belt grooves of different diameters, which are connected to the wheel belt.

[0016] The technical solution adopted in this application can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The depth of *Cynanchum paniculatum* growth is determined, and the height of the first digging component is adjusted. The moving device drives the cutting device to remove the stems and leaves of *Cynanchum paniculatum*. The second digging component of the harvesting device shovels up the *Cynanchum paniculatum* from the upper soil layer and puts it into the screening device. The first digging component of the harvesting device shovels up the lower layer of *Cynanchum paniculatum* and puts it into the screening device, separating the *Cynanchum paniculatum* from the soil and putting it into the storage device. By adjusting the height of the first digging component, the problem of not being able to dig up *Cynanchum paniculatum* growing in deeper soil is solved. At the same time, the double digging of the first and second digging components reduces the resistance encountered by the moving device, solves the problems of slippage and insufficient power of the moving component, thereby improving the life of the moving device and reducing the mechanical failure rate.

The terminology used herein in the specification of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3In a preferred embodiment, a *Cymbidium goeringii* harvester includes: a body 100, a moving device 200, a cutting device 300, a harvesting device 400, a screening device 500, and a storage device 600. The body 100 is equipped with wheels 110. The moving device 200 is located on one side of the body 100 and is used to drive the body 100 to move in a predetermined direction. The cutting device 300 is located at the end of the moving device 200 away from the body 100, and is used to cut the *Cymbidium goeringii* stems on the ground and place the stems on one side of the moving device 200. The harvesting device 400 is located inside the body 100 and close to the moving device 200. The harvesting device 400 includes a first digging component 410 and a second digging component 420. The first digging component 410 is disposed below the second digging component 420 and is hinged to the body 100. The second digging component 420 is used to remove the upper layer of *Artemisia annua*, and the first digging component 410 is used to remove the lower layer of *Artemisia annua*. The screening device 500 is fixedly connected to the body 100 and is disposed on the side of the harvesting device 400 away from the moving device 200. The storage device 600 is fixedly connected to one end of the body 100, and the feed end of the storage device 600 is connected to the discharge end of the screening device 500. For example, by determining the growth depth of *Lithops*, adjusting the height of the first digging component 410, the moving device 200 drives the cutting device 300 to cut off the stems and leaves of *Lithops*. The cutting device 300 is equipped with a guide groove, through which the stems are transported to one side of the moving device 200. The second digging component 420 of the harvesting device 400 shovels the *Lithops* from the upper soil layer into the screening device 500. The first digging component 410 of the harvesting device 400 shovels the lower *Lithops* into the screening device 500. By digging the upper soil layer with the second digging component 420, the relative digging thickness of the first digging component 410 is reduced, thus reducing... The first digging component 410 reduces digging resistance, resulting in more power and more stable digging. Simultaneously, it separates the physalis from the soil, allowing it to enter the storage device 600. The stems, placed on one side of the mobile device 200, are dried and collected for use as feed, reducing waste. Adjusting the height of the first digging component 410 solves the problem of not being able to dig physalis growing in deeper soil. Furthermore, the double-layer digging using the first digging component 410 and the second digging component 420 reduces resistance to the mobile device 200, solving problems of slippage and insufficient power, thereby increasing the lifespan of the mobile device 200 and reducing mechanical failure rates.

[0026] Furthermore, the first digging component 410 and the second digging component 420 include a harvesting section 430 and a screening section 440. The harvesting section 430 is used to collect phytoheda and soil, and the screening section 440 is used to separate phytoheda and soil.

[0027] Specifically, the end of the first digging component 410 and the second digging component 420 near the ground is the harvesting section 430, which is 40 centimeters wide. Behind the harvesting section 430 is the screening section 440, which is composed of several steel plates. The distance between two adjacent steel plates is no greater than the diameter of one stachys. When the harvesting section 430 digs out the stachys and soil from the ground and transports them to the screening section 440, the soil falls through the gaps in the screening section 440, and the stachys remain on the screening section 440, thereby achieving the initial screening of the stachys.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, for ease of operation, the harvesting device 400 further includes a rotating shaft 460, which is fixedly connected to the machine body 100 and is hinged to the second digging assembly 420.

[0029] Specifically, the rotating shaft 460 includes an inner shaft and an outer shaft. The inner shaft is fixedly connected to the machine body 100, and the outer shaft is fixedly connected to the second digging component 420 with a steel plate. The second digging component 420 can rotate along the rotating shaft 460, and a guide wheel is provided on the outer shaft. A belt is connected to the guide wheel, and a forward and reverse motor is provided at the other end. The moving device 200 controls the belt to rotate the guide wheel, thereby realizing the rotation of the outer shaft. When the second digging component 420 needs to clear weeds in the gap, the second digging component 420 rotates upward, and the worker uses tools to clean it, solving the problem of the small working space and difficulty in cleaning of the first digging component 410.

[0030] Furthermore, a second cleaning plate 421 is provided above one end of the second digging assembly and connected to the rotating shaft 460. The second cleaning plate 421 is used to clean blockages inside the second digging assembly 420. For example, the second cleaning plate 421 is fixedly connected to the machine body 100. The second cleaning plate 421 uses the same steel plates as the screening section 440 of the second digging assembly 420, and the positions of the steel plates correspond to the gaps in the screening section 440. When the second digging assembly 420 rotates upward, the screening section 440 and the second cleaning plate 421 are staggered, so that the steel plates of the screening section 440 pass through the gaps in the second cleaning plate 421, and the steel plates on the second cleaning plate 421 pass through the gaps in the screening section 440, thereby cleaning the second digging assembly 420, solving the problems of high labor intensity and inconvenient operation of manual cleaning, and improving work efficiency.

[0031] In one embodiment, for ease of operation, a limiting member 450 is provided at the hinge point between the first digging component 410 and the body 100 to fix the height of the first digging component 410 after adjustment. For example, the spacing of the steel bars in the screening section 440 of the first digging component 410 is smaller than the spacing of the steel bars in the screening section 440 of the second digging component 420. Grasshoppers that leak from the second digging component 420 fall into the first digging component 410 and are then transported by the first digging component 410 to the screening device 500. The first digging component 410 is hinged to the body 100 using an inner shaft and an outer shaft. The inner shaft is fixedly connected to the body 100, and the outer shaft is connected to the steel plate of the first digging component 410. Furthermore, compared to the projected position of the second digging component 420, the first digging component 410 is positioned lower. The projection position of the first digging component 410 is behind the projection position of the second digging component 420. The limiting member 450 is provided on the steel plate of the first digging component 410. The steel plate is provided with a plurality of slots. The limiting member 450 is engaged with the slots. When adjusting the height of the first digging component 410, the limiting member 450 is pressed first so that one end of the limiting member 450 leaves the slot. After adjusting the height of the first digging component 410, one end of the limiting member 450 is engaged in the slot of the corresponding height, thereby fixing the first digging component 410 and realizing the adjustment of the first digging component 410. The operation is simpler and more convenient.

[0032] Furthermore, a first cleaning plate 411 is provided below one end of the first digging component 410 and is fixedly connected to the body 100. The first cleaning plate 411 is used to clean the blockages in the first digging component 410.

[0033] Specifically, the first cleaning plate 411 is the same as the screening part 440 of the first digging component 410, made of several steel plates, and one end of the steel plate is provided with an inclination angle. The length of the first cleaning plate 411 is three-quarters of the length of the first digging component. The first cleaning plate 411 is bolted to the machine body 100. The gap of the first cleaning plate 411 is offset from the gap of the screening part 440 of the first digging component 410. When the first digging component 410 needs to be cleaned, the limiting member 450 is pressed, so that the height of the first digging component 410 can be adjusted at will. When the first digging component 410 is moved downward, the steel plate of the first cleaning plate 411 passes through the gap of the screening part 440 of the first digging component 410, and removes the root, soil, stones and other blockages stuck in the gap, thereby realizing the cleaning of the first digging component 410. The operation is simple and convenient, solving the problems of difficult cleaning and small working surface.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, for ease of operation, the screening device 500 includes a vibration component 510 and a sorting component 520. The vibration component 510 is mounted on the sorting component 520, which is fixedly connected to the machine body 100. For example, when stachys and soil clods mixed with stachys fall into the inclined sorting component 520 from the discharge ports of the first digging component 410 and the second digging component 420, respectively, the vibration component 510, fixedly mounted on the sorting component 520, causes the soil clods mixed with stachys to disperse through small-amplitude, rapid vibration, separating the stachys from the soil, thus facilitating manual sorting and making the operation simpler and more convenient.

[0035] Furthermore, the sorting component 520 is provided with several through holes for separating phycocyanin from soil. For example, the sorting component 520 uses a sieve, which allows soil clods to fall directly into the field through the through holes when they are broken up, reducing the need for manual sorting and improving work efficiency.

[0036] Furthermore, the vibration assembly 510 includes a cam 512 and a push rod 513. One end of the push rod 513 is fixedly connected to the sorting assembly 520. The cam 512 is connected to the belt of the wheel 110 and is used to drive the push rod 513 to move up and down. For example, a first guide wheel is provided on the wheel 110, and a second guide wheel is provided on one side of the cam 512. The first guide wheel and the second guide wheel are connected by a belt. The rotation of the wheel 110 drives the first guide wheel, which in turn drives the second guide wheel to rotate, thereby causing the cam 512 to rotate. The push rod 513 is n-shaped, and one end of the push rod 513 is fixedly connected to the sorting assembly 520. The rotation of the cam 512 drives the push rod 513 to move up and down, causing the sorting assembly 520 to move upward and then fall back to its original position by its own weight, thus realizing the vibration of the sorting assembly 520, reducing the number of motors required, and improving the utilization rate of the machinery.

[0037] Specifically, the vibration assembly 510 further includes a speed-changing wheel 511, which is disposed on one side of the cam 512. The speed-changing wheel 511 has several belt grooves of different diameters, which are connected to the belt of the wheel 110. For example, the speed-changing wheel 511 is disposed on the second guide wheel of the cam 512. The belt grooves of the speed-changing wheel 511 are arranged coaxially with the cam 512, with the diameters decreasing from large to small. By changing the belt grooves of different diameters, the rotational speed of the speed-changing wheel 511 is changed, thereby changing the rotational speed of the cam 512, thus realizing the adjustment of the rotational speed of the cam 512, solving the problem of the inability to adjust the vibration frequency, and making the operation more convenient.

[0038] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate the device deployment method of this application, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several adjustments and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
