Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of weeding equipment, and in particular to an active and passive combined terrain-mimicking obstacle-avoiding weeding device and a use method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Weeding is a very important part of agricultural production. Common weeding methods include chemical weeding, manual weeding, mechanical weeding and biological weeding. Although chemical weeding is effective, it will pollute the soil and the environment, and will also cause harm to human health. Manual weeding requires a lot of manpower input, is inefficient, and is not suitable for large-scale planting. Although biological weeding is environmentally friendly, it is less efficient and time-consuming. In contrast, mechanical weeding is an efficient, fast, and environmentally friendly weeding method that can avoid the defects of the above methods. Therefore, in agricultural production, mechanical weeding has been rapidly developed and widely used.
[0003] The current mechanical weeding technology still faces some challenges, especially in the weeding process in fruit tree planting areas such as vineyards: Application No. 201610908683.X discloses a grape intelligent weeding machine, including a frame, a hydraulic system, a solenoid valve control system, a weeding device and running wheels, the weeding device includes a fixed weeding part and a rotating movable weeding part, the fixed weeding part is fixedly installed on the frame, the rotating movable weeding part is fixedly equipped on both sides of the frame, the hydraulic system and the solenoid valve control system are fixed on the frame, the running wheels are fixedly installed on the bottom of the frame, the hydraulic system controls the rotating movable weeding part to rotate and weed, and controls the extension and retraction of the rotating movable weeding part; the solenoid valve control system controls the oil circuit output of the hydraulic system. The prior art uses a horizontally extended obstacle contact rod to touch the grape branches or grape racks, and then controls the extension and retraction of the rotating movable weeding part through a hydraulic system and a solenoid valve control system to achieve the purpose of active avoidance. However, in this obstacle avoidance method, the obstacle contact rod cannot touch the fallen or horizontally growing grape branches, thereby failing to trigger the active avoidance function. The weeder will directly cut off the fallen or horizontally growing grape branches during weeding, causing damage to the branches. In addition, the terrain of the grape planting area is complex, and the lack of a good terrain-mimicking mechanism will cause a significant drop in the weeding rate. Summary of the invention

[0024] The present invention also provides a method for using an active and passive combined terrain-like obstacle avoidance weeding device, which can be applied to the above-mentioned active and passive combined terrain-like obstacle avoidance weeding device, and the specific steps include:
[0025] Step S1: firstly, the driving device is connected to the frame of the terrain-like obstacle avoidance weeding device through a traction mechanism, the driving device is started to tow the terrain-like obstacle avoidance weeding device to the target plant planting area, the position of the terrain-like obstacle avoidance weeding device is adjusted, and the horizontal distances of the upper and lower profiling devices, the active obstacle avoidance device and the weeding device relative to the target are adjusted so that the weeding device is as close to the ground as possible and is located directly in front of the target plant, and the driving device is driven to move forward in the direction of the target plant until the target plant contacts the terrain-like obstacle avoidance weeding device, that is, the weed removal work around the target plant begins;
[0026] Step S2: start the hydraulic motor to make it move, the output end of the hydraulic motor drives the active pulley to rotate so that the active pulley can drive the driven pulley to rotate through the V-belt, and the driven pulley drives the driven shaft at its bottom to rotate in the same direction, thereby driving the weeding cutter disc and the contour chassis connected to the driven shaft to rotate in the same direction. At this time, the knife claws at the bottom of the weeding cutter disc have been extended into the soil, and the weeds in the area where the knife claws are located at this moment are removed and the soil is loosened. The bottom surface of the contour chassis is also in contact with the soil surface. With the movement of the terrain-mimicking obstacle avoidance weeding device, the contour chassis can float up and down to cater to the undulating state of the ground, and the slider of the upper slider mechanism can move obliquely upward and downward on the slide rail surface of the lower slide rail mechanism to achieve the purpose of terrain-mimicking action, ensuring that the relative posture of the weeding device and the target is in the best position;
[0027] Step S3: When the arc-shaped touch rod of the terrain-like obstacle avoidance weeding device touches the trunk of the target plant, the arc-shaped touch rod is pushed by the trunk of the target plant while the driving device drives the terrain-like obstacle avoidance weeding device to continue to move forward. The arc-shaped touch rod drives the rotating rod connected to it to rotate relative to the rotating bearing. The squeezing paddle located on the top of the rotating rod rotates in the same direction as the rotating rod and squeezes the travel spring so that the squeezing paddle presses the switch button to activate the travel switch. The travel switch controls the external hydraulic system to pump hydraulic fluid to the cylinder end of the hydraulic cylinder so that the piston end of the hydraulic cylinder moves forward. As the cylinder end retracts, the piston end of the hydraulic cylinder drives the weeding device connected thereto to twist in the direction away from the arc-shaped touch rod through the connecting rod, and the weeding device surrounds the bottom of the target plant trunk to achieve the purpose of the weeding device actively avoiding obstacles and turning to weeding. At the same time, the weeding device is also pulled by the hydraulic pulling mechanism. The force generated toward the rear end of the weeding device causes the weeding device to push the hinge through the stop block I, and then the rear end surface of the hinge moves on the surface of the moving shaft toward the direction of the stop block II, the hinge spring is compressed, and the weeding device retracts a distance in the direction of the middle arm to drive the weeding device away from the target plant. When the arc-shaped touch rod passes the target plant and has not yet touched the next target plant, the travel spring pushes the squeezing paddle under the action of its rebound force, so that the rotating rod connected to the squeezing paddle rotates relative to the rotating bearing, thereby driving the arc-shaped touch rod to return to its original position. At this time, the spring limit assembly can limit the position of the squeezing paddle relative to the travel switch mechanism when the rebound force of the travel spring pushes the squeezing paddle, thereby preventing the travel spring from pushing the squeezing paddle under the action of rebound, and then when the arc-shaped touch rod is driven to rotate through the rotating rod, the rotational inertia generated by the arc-shaped touch rod drives the squeezing paddle to pull the travel rod The stroke spring causes the stroke spring to be stretched excessively, causing the distance between the arc-shaped touch rod and the weeding device to increase, and some target plants pass over the arc-shaped touch rod and enter between the arc-shaped touch rod and the weeding device. The stroke switch mechanism returns to the inactive state, and the piston end of the hydraulic cylinder returns to the extended state relative to the cylinder end of the hydraulic cylinder. At the same time, the hinge spring on the surface of the moving shaft in the hinge telescopic mechanism pushes the rear end surface of the hinge under the action of its rebound force, so that the rear end of the hinge moves on the surface of the moving shaft toward the direction of the stop block I, and the weeding device returns to its original position driven by the extended action of the piston end of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0028] Step S4: When the target plant in front is in a lodging or horizontal growth state so that the arc-shaped touch rod cannot touch or detect it, the edge of the obstacle avoidance disk touches the target plant in the lodging or horizontal growth state, and the target plant applies a thrust to the obstacle avoidance disk. Under the action of the one-way bearing, the obstacle avoidance disk passively rotates in a direction away from the arc-shaped touch rod with the one-way bearing as the center and removes the weeds around the target plant along the edge of the target plant. At this time, the positions of the driven pulley above the obstacle avoidance disk and the weeding blade and contour chassis below the obstacle avoidance disk are changed in the horizontal direction. Subsequently, under the drive of the driving device, the terrain-like obstacle avoidance and weeding device moves toward the next target plant.

[0030] 1. The present invention has the characteristics of reasonable structural design, high weeding rate, fast weeding efficiency, etc. The present invention realizes the purpose of terrain-like weeding according to the undulating state of the ground in the form of combining active obstacle avoidance and passive obstacle avoidance, and protects the grape branches from damage to the greatest extent while completely removing the weeds near the branches;
[0031] 2. The active obstacle avoidance device of the present invention can cause the shaft rotation mechanism connected to the arc touch rod to operate and activate the travel switch mechanism after the arc touch rod touches the target plant, so that the travel switch mechanism controls the hydraulic pulling mechanism to pull the weeding device to achieve the purpose of active obstacle avoidance and weeding of the weeding device; the weeding mechanism of the present invention can achieve the purpose of driving the weeding blade to rotate and weed under the power provided by the transmission component, and it can also achieve the purpose of weeding obstacle avoidance component touching the target plant when the target plant is in a lodging or horizontal growth state so that the arc touch rod cannot touch or detect it, and passively surrounds the edge of the target plant to weed under the action of the reverse thrust of the target plant and the one-way bearing; the upper and lower profiling device of the present invention can adjust the height of the upper slider mechanism in the inclination direction of the lower slide rail mechanism relative to the ground according to the action of the weeding device to meet the undulating action of the ground, so as to ensure that the relative posture between the weeding device and the target is in the best position, thereby improving the weeding rate;

The cylinder end of the hydraulic cylinder 462 is in an extended state. At this time, the weeding device 5 connected to the hydraulic cylinder 462 through the connecting rod 463 does not turn. When the travel switch mechanism is activated, it controls the external hydraulic system to pump hydraulic fluid to the cylinder end of the hydraulic cylinder 462 so that the piston end of the hydraulic cylinder 462 retracts toward the cylinder end. At this time, the piston end of the hydraulic cylinder 462 drives the weeding device 5 connected thereto to twist in a direction away from the arc-shaped touch rod 435 through the connecting rod 463. When the travel switch mechanism returns to the inactivated state, the piston end of the hydraulic cylinder 462 returns to an extended state relative to the cylinder end of the hydraulic cylinder 462.

At this time, the hinge spring 475 is compressed, and the weeding device 5 retracts a distance in the direction of the middle arm 41 to drive the weeding device 5 away from the target plant; when the hydraulic pulling mechanism drives the weeding device 5 to twist in the direction close to the arc-shaped touch rod 435, the hinge spring 475 on the surface of the moving shaft 474 pushes the rear end face of the hinge 471 under the action of its rebound force, so that the rear end of the hinge 471 moves on the surface of the moving shaft 474 in the direction of the stop block I 472, and the weeding device 5 returns to its original position;

The output end of the hydraulic motor 522 is connected to a driving pulley 524 located below the transmission support 521 through a spherical bearing 523 arranged on the surface of the transmission support 521. The driving pulley 524 is connected to a driven pulley 525 located next to it through a V-belt 526. The output end of the hydraulic motor 522 drives the driving pulley 524 to rotate.

The driven shaft is connected to the weeding blade disc 528 and the contour chassis 529 located below the obstacle avoidance disc 5212 in sequence through the weeding bearing 527 located on the surface of the obstacle avoidance disc 5212. The rotation of the driven pulley 525 can drive the driven shaft to rotate in the same direction as it, thereby driving the weeding blade disc 528 and the contour chassis 529 connected to the driven shaft to rotate in the same direction.
[0062] Specifically, the number of the driven pulleys 525 is three, and the three driven pulleys 525 are evenly distributed on the periphery of the driving pulley 524 in a three-point manner. The driving pulley 524 is respectively matched with each driven pulley 525 through a V-belt.

The number of weeding bearings 527 is three, which are respectively arranged on the surface of each circular arc corner of the obstacle avoidance plate 5212.
[0063] In the embodiment of the present invention, the one-way bearing 5211 has the function of limiting the rotation direction of the obstacle avoidance disk 5212. When the target plant is in a lodging or horizontal growth state so that the arc-shaped touch rod 435 cannot touch or detect it, the edge of the obstacle avoidance disk 5212 touches the target plant in the lodging or horizontal growth state, and the target plant applies a thrust to the obstacle avoidance disk 5212. Under the action of the one-way bearing 5211, the obstacle avoidance disk 5212 passively rotates in a direction away from the arc-shaped touch rod 435 with the one-way bearing 5211 as the center of the circle and removes the weeds around the target plant along the edge of the target plant.

The weeding of this kind of knife claw 5210 extending into the soil The contoured chassis 529 has a diameter smaller than that of the weeding blade 528, so that the contoured chassis 529 can be located inside the blade claw 5210. When the blade claw 5210 extends into the soil, the bottom surface of the contoured chassis 529 contacts the surface of the ground. When the contoured chassis 529 floats up and down in accordance with the undulating state of the ground, the slider 34 of the upper slider mechanism 33 can move obliquely upward and downward on the surface of the slide rail 32 of the lower slide rail mechanism 31 to achieve the purpose of terrain-mimicking action.
[0065] The present invention also provides a method for using an active and passive combined terrain-like obstacle avoidance weeding device, which can be applied to the above-mentioned active and passive combined terrain-like obstacle avoidance weeding device, and the specific steps include:
[0066] Step S1: firstly, the driving device is connected to the frame 1 of the terrain-like obstacle avoidance weeding device through a traction mechanism, the driving device is started to tow the terrain-like obstacle avoidance weeding device to the target plant planting area, the position of the terrain-like obstacle avoidance weeding device is adjusted, and the horizontal distances of the upper and lower profiling devices 3, the active obstacle avoidance device 4 and the weeding device 5 relative to the target are adjusted so that the weeding device 5 is as close to the ground as possible and is located directly in front of the target plant, and the driving device is driven to move forward in the direction of the target plant until the target plant contacts the terrain-like obstacle avoidance weeding device, that is, the weed removal work around the target plant begins;
[0067] Step S2: Start the hydraulic motor 522 to make it move. The output end of the hydraulic motor 522 drives the driving pulley 524 to rotate so that the driving pulley 524 can drive the driven pulley 525 to rotate through the V-belt 526. The driven pulley 525 drives the driven shaft at its bottom to rotate in the same direction, thereby driving the weeding disc 528 and the contoured chassis 529 connected to the driven shaft to rotate in the same direction. At this time, the blade claw 5210 at the bottom of the weeding disc 528 has been extended into the soil, and the blade claw 5210 at the bottom of the weeding disc 528 has been extended into the soil. The weeds in the area where the carving claw 5210 is located are removed and the soil is loosened, and the bottom surface of the contour chassis 529 is also in contact with the soil surface. With the action of the terrain-like obstacle avoidance weeding device, the contour chassis 529 can float up and down in accordance with the undulation of the ground, and the slider 34 of the upper slider mechanism 33 can move obliquely upward and downward on the surface of the slide rail 32 of the lower slide rail mechanism 31, so as to achieve the purpose of terrain-like action, ensuring that the relative posture of the weeding device 5 and the target is in the best position;
[0068] Step S3: When the arc-shaped touch rod 435 of the terrain-like obstacle avoidance weeding device touches the trunk of the target plant, the arc-shaped touch rod 435 is pushed by the trunk of the target plant while the driving device drives the terrain-like obstacle avoidance weeding device to continue to move forward. The arc-shaped touch rod 435 drives the rotating rod 434 connected thereto to rotate relative to the rotating bearing 433. The squeezing paddle 436 located at the top of the rotating rod 434 rotates in the same direction as the rotating rod 434 and squeezes the travel spring 437 so that the squeezing paddle 436 presses the switch button to activate the travel switch 452. The travel switch 452 controls the external hydraulic system to pump hydraulic fluid to the cylinder end of the hydraulic cylinder 462 so that the piston end of the hydraulic cylinder 462 moves toward The cylinder end retracts, and the piston end of the hydraulic cylinder 462 drives the weeding device 5 connected thereto to twist in the direction away from the arc-shaped touch rod 435 through the connecting rod 463. The weeding device 5 surrounds the bottom of the trunk of the target plant to achieve the purpose of the weeding device 5 actively avoiding obstacles and turning to weed. At the same time, the weeding device 5 is also pulled by the hydraulic pulling mechanism. The component force generated in the direction of the rear end of the weeding device 5 makes the weeding device 5 push the hinge 471 through the stop block I 472, and then the rear end surface of the hinge 471 moves on the surface of the moving shaft 474 toward the direction of the stop block II 473, the hinge spring 475 is compressed, and the weeding device 5 retracts a distance in the direction of the middle arm 41 to drive the weeding device 5 away from the target plant; when the arc When the arc-shaped touch rod 435 passes the target plant and has not yet touched the next target plant, the travel spring 437 pushes the squeezing paddle 436 under the action of its rebound force, so that the rotating rod 434 connected to the squeezing paddle 436 rotates relative to the rotating bearing 433, thereby driving the arc-shaped touch rod 435 to return to its original position. At this time, the spring limit assembly can limit the position of the squeezing paddle 436 relative to the travel switch mechanism when the rebound force of the travel spring 437 pushes the squeezing paddle 436, thereby preventing the travel spring 437 from pushing the squeezing paddle 436 under the rebound action, and then when the arc-shaped touch rod 435 is driven to rotate through the rotating rod 434, the rotational inertia generated by the arc-shaped touch rod 435 drives the squeezing paddle 436 to pull the travel rod 435 The spring 437 causes the travel spring 437 to be stretched excessively, causing the distance between the arc-shaped touch rod 435 and the weeding device 5 to increase, and some target plants pass over the arc-shaped touch rod 435 and enter between the arc-shaped touch rod 435 and the weeding device 5. The travel switch mechanism returns to the inactive state, and the piston end of the hydraulic cylinder 462 returns to the extended state relative to the cylinder end of the hydraulic cylinder 462. At the same time, the hinge spring 475 on the surface of the moving shaft 474 in the hinge telescopic mechanism pushes the rear end surface of the hinge 471 under the action of its rebound force, so that the rear end of the hinge 471 moves on the surface of the moving shaft 474 toward the direction of the stop block I 472, and the weeding device 5 returns to its original position driven by the extended action of the piston end of the hydraulic cylinder 462.
[0069] Step S4: When the target plant in front is in a lodging or horizontal growth state so that the arc-shaped touch rod 435 cannot touch or detect it, the edge of the obstacle avoidance plate 5212 touches the target plant in the lodging or horizontal growth state, and the target plant applies a thrust to the obstacle avoidance plate 5212. Under the action of the one-way bearing 5211, the obstacle avoidance plate 5212 passively rotates in a direction away from the arc-shaped touch rod 435 with the one-way bearing 5211 as the center and removes the weeds around the target plant along the edge of the target plant. At this time, the positions of the driven pulley 525 above the obstacle avoidance plate 5212 and the weeding blade 528 and the contoured chassis 529 below it are all changed in the horizontal direction. Subsequently, driven by the driving device, the terrain-like obstacle avoidance and weeding device moves toward the next target plant.
