Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural machinery technology, and in particular relates to a forest clearing and land preparation device. Background Technology

[0002] In forestry practice, clearing and land preparation is a crucial step. This process eliminates adverse risk factors in forest land, promotes soil conservation and fertility, and lays a solid foundation for the smooth implementation of subsequent afforestation. The quality and efficiency of clearing and land preparation directly affect the quality and benefits of tree growth. Therefore, it is essential to strictly adhere to relevant implementation standards during the clearing and land preparation process to ensure optimal results at every stage.

[0003] Existing agricultural machinery and equipment used for land preparation can all improve the soil, but dead tree roots and debris in the soil are difficult to remove. They need to be cleaned by other machinery or by hand, which is very troublesome and consumes a lot of manpower, material resources, financial resources and time to complete the land preparation task. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a forest clearing and land preparation device to solve the problem that existing land preparation devices are not convenient for cleaning debris in the soil.

[0007] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention has also made the following improvements:

[0008] Furthermore, the impurity removal mechanism includes a fixed plate installed at the rear of the frame, at least two rotating wheels are provided on the fixed plate, a conveyor chain is provided between the rotating wheels, the conveyor chain is formed by several connecting joints hinged end to end, and an agitator is rotatably connected to the outward side of the connecting joints;

[0009] The agitation assembly includes a connecting rod for rotatably connecting to the connecting joint, a gear is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod, an agitation rod is fixedly connected to the end of the gear, and a rack is provided on the fixed plate for driving the agitation assembly to rotate. Under the drive of the conveyor chain, the agitation assembly can roll along the rack.

[0010] There are multiple impurity removal mechanisms, and the frame is equipped with a first motor for driving the rotation of the rotating wheel.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixed plate is equipped with a comb plate, which is located on both sides of the fixed plate. The comb plate has several comb teeth, the tail ends of which are curved inwards and located below the horizontal level of the rack. This allows for the removal of residual debris from the agitator rod.

[0012] Furthermore, the back of each of the two adjacent impurity removal mechanisms is provided with a backing plate for supporting the agitator. The backing plate is parallel to the rack, and both ends of the backing plate and the rack have arc-shaped transition areas to prevent the agitator from detaching from the rack.

[0013] Furthermore, several support plates are arranged inside the frame, with transmission components rotatably connected to the ends of the support plates. A hoe handle is rotatably connected between two adjacent transmission components, and a hoe head is provided at the bottom of the hoe handle. Support plates are provided on both sides of the bottom of the frame, and a support rod is connected between two support plates. A limit rod is rotatably connected to the lower half of the hoe handle, and the end of the limit rod is rotatably connected to the support rod. A second motor is provided on the frame to drive the rotation of the transmission components. This achieves automatic digging functionality.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom of the support plate is equipped with a sliding plate, and both ends of the sliding plate have upward-curving arc sections, which allows for better gliding.

[0015] Furthermore, the side of the land preparation device is equipped with a scraper, which includes a scraper bar.

The scraper plate is located at the tail end of the debris removal mechanism and has several scraper strips. The other end of the scraper bar is equipped with a handle. This facilitates the collection of the cleaned debris.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: when the agitating component passes through the rack, the rack can mesh with the gear. Driven by the conveyor chain, the agitating component can roll along the rack, so that the agitating rod can rotate and agitate, stirring up the debris in the soil. With the simultaneous agitation of multiple rows of agitating components, the debris in the soil can be stirred to the side of the device, thereby cleaning up the debris in the soil.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0026] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown

[0027] A forest clearing and land preparation device includes a traction device 1 located at the head, the traction device 1 includes a chassis, wheels are provided on both sides of the chassis, an engine is provided on the top of the chassis, the engine drives the wheels to rotate, and a land preparation device 2 is provided at the tail of the traction device 1.

[0028] The land preparation device 2 includes a frame 3, on which a soil loosening mechanism 4 is provided. At the tail of the frame 3, there is a soil removal mechanism 5 for stirring up debris in the soil to the side of the device. The soil loosening mechanism 4 is used to loosen the soil, and the disposal device is used to clean up dead tree roots or garbage and other debris.

[0029] Specifically, the impurity removal mechanism 5 includes a fixed plate 6 installed at the tail of the frame 3. The fixed plate 6 is provided with at least two rotating wheels 7, and a conveying chain 8 is provided between the rotating wheels 7. The conveying chain 8 is formed by several connecting knots hinged end to end, and an agitating component 9 is rotatably connected to the outward side of the connecting knots.

[0030] The agitation assembly 9 includes a connecting rod 10 for rotatably connecting to the connecting joint. A gear 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 10, and an agitation rod 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the gear 11. A rack 29 is provided on the fixing plate 6 for driving the agitation assembly 9 to rotate. When the agitation assembly 9 passes over the rack 29, the rack 29 can mesh with the gear 11. Driven by the transmission chain 8, the agitation assembly 9 can roll along the rack 29, so that the agitation rod 12 can rotate and agitate, stirring up debris in the soil.

[0031] There are multiple impurity removal mechanisms 5. The frame 3 is equipped with a first motor 13 for driving the rotating wheel 7 to rotate. With the simultaneous agitation of multiple rows of agitating components 9, the impurities in the soil can be agitated to the side of the device, thereby cleaning out the impurities in the soil.

[0032] Specifically, the fixed plate 6 is provided with a comb plate 14 for cleaning the stirring rod 12. The comb plate 14 is located on both sides of the fixed plate 6. The comb plate 14 is provided with a number of comb teeth. The tail ends of the comb teeth are curved inward and located below the horizontal level of the rack 29. When the stirring rod 12 passes through the comb plate 14, it can clean the debris remaining on the stirring rod 12 and prevent debris from remaining on the stirring rod 12.

[0033] Specifically, the back of two adjacent impurity removal mechanisms 5 is provided with abutment plates 15 for supporting the stirring components 9. The abutment plates 15 are parallel to the rack 29. When the stirring components 9 pass through the gap between the abutment plates 15 and the rack 29, the outer side of the gear 11 can support the abutment plates 15 to prevent the stirring components 9 from shaking outward and being unable to roll forward. Both ends of the abutment plates 15 and both ends of the rack 29 are provided with arc-shaped transition areas to prevent the stirring components 9 from being supported at the ends.

[0034] Specifically, several support plates 16 are arranged inside the frame 3. The ends of the support plates 16 are rotatably connected to transmission components 17. A hoe handle 18 is rotatably connected between two adjacent transmission components 17. A hoe head 19 is provided at the bottom of the hoe handle 18. Support plates 20 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the frame 3. A support rod 21 is connected between two support plates 20. A limit rod 22 is rotatably connected to the lower half of the hoe handle 18. The end of the limit rod 22 is rotatably connected to the support rod 21. A second motor 23 is provided on the frame 3 to drive the transmission components 17 to rotate. Under the drive of the second motor 23, the transmission components 17 drive the top of the hoe handle 18 to rotate. Under the action of the limit rod 22, the bottom of the hoe handle 18 swings up and down with the hoe handle 18, thereby driving the hoe head 19 to dig, thus loosening the soil.

[0035] Specifically, the bottom of the support plate 20 is provided with a sliding plate 24, which can increase the contact area and facilitate sliding on the soil surface. Both ends of the sliding plate 24 are provided with upward curved arcs to prevent the sliding plate from inserting into the soil.

[0036] Specifically, the side of the land preparation device 2 is provided with a scraper 25, which includes a scraper 26. The middle part of the scraper 26 is rotatably connected to the frame 3. The tail end of the scraper 26 is provided with a scraper 27, which is located at the tail of the debris removal mechanism 5. The scraper 27 is provided with several scraping strips. Under the action of gravity, the scraper 27 can be held against the soil surface, thereby scraping away the debris and collecting it together. The other end of the scraper 26 is provided with a handle 28. By pressing down the handle 28, the scraper 27 can be lifted up. As the equipment continues to move forward, the scraper 27 can pass over the debris. Then, by releasing the handle 28, the scraper 27 can continue to scrape the debris.

[0037] The method of using this invention is as follows: The device travels in a straight line along a track on the soil where leveling is required. A first motor 13 drives a rotating wheel 7 to rotate, which in turn drives a conveyor chain 8. The agitating component 9 moves along the conveyor chain 8. During this movement, when the agitating component 9 passes over a rack 29, the rack 29 meshes with a gear 11. Driven by the conveyor chain 8, the agitating component 9 rolls along the rack 29, causing the agitating rod 12 to rotate and agitate, thus stirring up debris in the soil. With multiple rows of agitating components 9 simultaneously agitating, the debris in the soil is stirred to the side of the device, thereby removing the debris from the soil.

[0038] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
