A device for harvesting and processing forage for beef cattle feeding

Abstract

This invention discloses a forage harvesting and processing device for beef cattle, relating to the field of agricultural technology. The device includes a main unit and a harvesting and processing unit. The harvesting and processing unit comprises a rotating sleeve and a guide plate. Several shovels and clamping components are symmetrically mounted on the surface of the rotating sleeve. The shovels have internally movable front and moving blocks for lifting the forage from the bottom. The clamping components have internally movable rods for clamping the roots of the forage. When the front and moving blocks and the shovels are closed, they rise from near the rootstock of the forage as the rotating sleeve continues to rotate. This elevation increases the range of forage that can be righted after being dumped. Furthermore, the closing of the front and moving blocks and the shovels constrains the forage on its front, back, left, and right sides, allowing for the righting of forage dumped in any direction during the rotation of the rotating sleeve.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural technology, and in particular to a device for harvesting and processing feed for beef cattle. Background Technology

[0002] The forage fed to beef cattle mainly includes the following categories: silage, hay, and concentrate feed. For adult beef cattle, whole hay is often used. Whole hay promotes chewing, aids in saliva secretion and digestive enzyme production, thereby improving digestive efficiency. Furthermore, whole hay helps cattle grind their teeth, maintaining dental health.

[0003] Chinese patent CN201910488900.8 discloses a harvesting device for a tall forage harvester, including left and right grass-splitting frames, with left and right grass-splitting devices connected by welding. Left and right hydraulic motors and bearing seats are installed on the rear ends of the left and right grass-splitting frame panels, and left and right conveyor belts are also installed. A fixing plate is installed on the left and right grass-splitting frames, and a cutter hydraulic motor is mounted on the fixing plate. A disc-shaped cutting blade is mounted on the cutter hydraulic motor. Rollers are installed between the left and right support legs. Left and right grass-splitting frame side plates are installed on the inner sides of the left and right grass-splitting frames, forming a grass-splitting trough. A grass-feeding pad is provided on the bottom surface of the grass-splitting trough. Left and right grass-feeding wheels are installed on the left and right sides of the grass-feeding pad, respectively. This invention can be connected to powered loading machinery, and the number of grass-splitting devices can reach 1-4. Compared with existing tall grass harvesters, it has the advantages of high harvesting efficiency, low power consumption, less pollution, and ease of use.

[0004] Chinese Patent 202410256610.1 discloses a forage cutting and collecting device, relating to the field of forage harvesting technology. It includes a cab with a guide plate at the front end and a partition plate fixedly connected to the side of the guide plate. The guide plate is used to hold the forage in place. A cutting component is mounted on the guide plate for cutting the forage. A guiding component, also mounted on the guide plate and linked to the cutting component, is used to push the cut forage to the side of the guide plate. A cutting height adjustment component, located at the front end of the cab, is used to adjust the height of the guide plate, thereby adjusting the height of the cut forage. A collecting component, located on the cab, is used to transport and collect the cut forage. This device solves the problems of difficulty in cutting fallen forage and the tendency to re-cut the already cut forage, affecting the harvesting effect and the integrity of the cut.

[0005] The aforementioned patents and prior art have the following problems:

[0006] Existing harvesting equipment can only straighten fallen hay at a specific height. If the hay is lower than this height, or if the direction of the hay is in the same direction as the direction of the equipment's movement or is at an angle to it, the hay is not easy to straighten. Furthermore, during the straightening process, the seeds of the hay carrying seeds will come into contact with and collide with the seeds, causing damage to the seeds of hay such as alfalfa, ryegrass, or oats, resulting in poor harvesting results.

[0025] The top surface of the clamp is uniformly provided with through rods.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of the beef cattle feeding and forage harvesting and processing device of the present invention, the main unit further includes a traction frame, which is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame, and a camera is installed on the side of the traction frame facing forward.

[0027] The mounting bracket is equipped with auxiliary wheels on its side.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of the beef cattle feeding and forage harvesting and processing device of the present invention, wherein: the rotation drive source is connected to the pulley on the surface of the mounting cylinder via a transmission component through a pulley on the surface of its output shaft; and the side of the rotating sleeve is symmetrically provided with arc arms.

[0029] A push drive source is fixedly connected to the bottom of the arc arm, and a cutter is installed on the side of the push drive source opposite to the card puller.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of the beef cattle feed harvesting and processing device of the present invention, a harvesting bin is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting frame, a pushing drive source is fixedly connected to one side of the harvesting bin, a push plate is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the pushing drive source, and a conveying channel is conductively connected to the other side of the harvesting bin.

[0031] The harvesting bin is provided with a guide plate that is inclined outward on the side opposite to the rotating sleeve. The surface of the guide plate has a scraping opening through which the shovel and the locking component pass. A baffle is provided extending upward from the scraping opening.

[0032] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0033] 1. By installing the towing frame at the front of the vehicle, the vehicle pushes the towing frame forward. At the same time as the towing frame moves forward, the rotation drive source is started. The rotation drive source drives the mounting cylinder and rotating sleeve to rotate through the transmission components. When the rotating sleeve rotates, it will drive the shovel and the clamping components to turn over the soil where the forage needs to be harvested, thereby increasing the soil's aeration and drainage.

[0034] Second, after the front bundle block, the moving bundle block, and the shovel are closed, they will rise from the bottom of the hay near the root as the rotating sleeve continues to rotate. This increase in position increases the range that the hay can be straightened after it is dumped. Furthermore, the constraint of the front bundle block, the moving bundle block, and the shovel on the front, back, left, and right sides of the hay after they are closed allows the hay to be straightened in any direction by the rotation of the rotating sleeve.

[0035] Third, as the rotating sleeve rotates and the front and moving blocks close, supporting the forage from the bottom upwards, the rolling element moves on the surface of the planar section, thus maintaining the constraint of the front and moving blocks on the forage within the processing unit. Meanwhile, the roller continues to move along the inward-convex surface and outward-expanding surface. When the shovel reaches the middle of the rotating sleeve, the roller moves to the outward-expanding surface. At this point, the forage between the moving block and the front block is clamped by the passive block and the front block, thus clamping the middle of the forage and adjusting the clamping position. The forage is restricted from the roots, making forage harvesting faster. After cutting, the forage bar is held in the middle by the moving block and the front bundle block and continues to rotate with the rotation of the rotating sleeve. During this process, the moving block, the front bundle block and the shovel piece gradually move the forage from the bottom to the middle of the forage before holding it. This lifting from the bottom of the forage is different from the damage to the forage ears caused by the full contact lifting and straightening by the plate on the market. The middle clamping of the forage will not damage the seeds of the middle and upper seed-bearing forage.

[0036] Fourth, when the cutter cuts the forage, a closed rod is installed at the bottom of the forage to clamp the roots, reducing the shaking of the forage during cutting. After cutting, as the rotating sleeve rotates, the clamped roots are brought out of the soil, reducing the problem of forage regenerating from the residual roots, becoming malnourished and becoming weeds, which affects the growth of new crops. The brought-out roots, driven by the rotation of the sleeve, will also move with the second rolling component to the connection between the flat section and the inclined section, and be released into the harvest bin. Of course, this is the ideal situation. On the other hand, the clamping of the forage roots by the closed rod may not be complete, and the closed rod may also pull on the connection between some roots and the soil, increasing the difficulty for the remaining roots to take root again and reducing the possibility of forage regeneration from the roots.

A camera 1011 is mounted on the side of the traction frame 101 facing forward. The camera 1011 is powered by an external power supply and controlled by a unified PLC or microcontroller.

[0072] The mounting bracket 102 is equipped with auxiliary wheels 103 on its side. Preferably, there are four auxiliary wheels 103, which are installed at the bottom of the four corners of the mounting bracket 102.

[0073] The rotation drive source 1021 is connected to the pulley on the surface of the mounting cylinder 2021 via a transmission component 10211 through a pulley on the surface of its output shaft. The rotating sleeve 202 is symmetrically provided with arcuate arms 1022 on its side.

[0074] The bottom of the arc arm 1022 is fixedly connected to a push drive source 10221. A cutter 10222 is installed on the side of the push drive source 10221 opposite to the latch 205.

[0077] The rotation drive source 1021 is preferably a single-phase geared motor or a servo motor, and the push drive source 10221 and the push drive source 1041 are preferably cylinders or electric telescopic cylinders. All of the above electrical appliances are controlled by a unified PLC and powered by an external power source.

[0078] Operation process:

[0079] It should be noted that when the rotating sleeve 202 rotates around the guide plate 203, the fixed plate 2044 and the clamping plate 2053 respectively roll in contact with the planar section 2032 and the inclined section 2031 through the first rolling element 20444 and the second rolling element 20532. As the first rolling element 20444 and the second rolling element 20532 move from the bottom of the inclined section 2031 towards the planar section 2032, the height of the first rolling element 20444 and the second rolling element 20532 will gradually increase and eventually be maintained on the planar section 2032, while the height of the second rolling element 20532 will gradually increase towards the inclined section 2031. When the bottom of 1 moves, the height of the first rolling element 20444 and the second rolling element 20532 will gradually decrease. As the first rolling element 20444 and the second rolling element 20532 move from the inclined section 2031 to the flat section 2032, the fixed plate 2044 and the clamping plate 2053 will be lifted. When the flat section 2032 moves to the bottom of the inclined section 2031, the fixed plate 2044 and the clamping plate 2053 will be lowered. As a result, the fixed plate 2044 and the clamping plate 2053 will be raised and exposed and lowered and retracted inside the processing cavity 2041 and the moving groove 2051.

[0080] The distance between the inner contraction surface 20331 at the bottom of the inclined section 2031 and the positioning rod 201 is less than the distance between the outer expansion surface 20332 at the top of the inclined section 2031 and the positioning rod 201. Therefore, when the roller 20453 moves from the bottom of the inner contraction surface 20331 to the outer expansion surface 20332, it will shorten the distance between the moving block plate 2045 and the front guide block 20441. Conversely, when the top of the outer expansion surface 20332 moves from the bottom of the inner contraction surface 20331, it will increase the distance between the moving block plate 2045 and the front guide block 20441.

[0081] The detailed process is as follows:

[0082] By attaching the towing frame 101 to the front of the vehicle, the vehicle pushes the towing frame 101 forward. At the same time as the towing frame 101 moves forward, the rotation drive source 1021 is started. The rotation drive source 1021 drives the mounting cylinder 2021 and the rotating sleeve 202 to rotate through the transmission component 10211. When the rotating sleeve 202 rotates, it will drive the shovel component 204 and the locking component 205 to turn over the soil where the forage needs to be harvested, thereby increasing the aeration and drainage of the soil.

[0083] As the rotating sleeve 202 rotates, the symmetrical shovel 204 located on the forward side of the mounting frame 102 gradually moves from the inclined section 2031 to the flat section 2032 via the rolling element 20444. This causes the shovel 204 to gradually rise after being inserted into the soil at the lowest end of the inclined section 2031 and eventually move to the flat section 2032. During this process, the fixed plate 2044 inside the symmetrical rotating sleeve 202 moves out from the inside of the processing chamber 2041 along the traction column 2043, causing the two front bundle blocks 20441 and the two moving block plates 2045 inside the symmetrical rotating sleeve 202 to extend out of the processing chamber 2041 and close on the front and rear sides of the forage.

[0084] After the front binding block 20441 closes, the left and right sides of the grass will be restricted by the two shovels 204 inside the symmetrical rotating sleeve 202. During this process, the roller 20453 also moves from the middle of the inner contraction surface 20331 to the outer expansion surface 20332. Under the influence of the increased distance between the inner contraction surface 20331 and the outer expansion surface 20332, the outer surface of the inner contraction surface 20331 pushes the roller 20453 and the moving block plate 2045 connected to the roller 20453 to move closer to the front binding block 20441 along the sliding groove 20443. This causes the rear side of the grass to be constrained by the moving binding block 20454 in the moving block plate 2045. This process increases the range of use of the front binding block 20441, the moving block plate 2045, and the shovels 204 in closing and constraining the grass. The moving binding block 20454 increases the fault tolerance rate of successfully constraining the grass.

[0085] After the front bundle block 20441, the moving bundle block 20454, and the shovel 204 are closed, they will rise from the bottom of the hay near the root as the rotating sleeve 202 continues to rotate. This increase in position increases the range that the hay can be straightened after it is dumped. Furthermore, the constraint of the front bundle block 20441, the moving bundle block 20454, and the shovel 204 on the front, back, left, and right sides of the hay can be straightened by the rotation and traction of the rotating sleeve 202, even if the hay is dumped in any direction.

[0086] As the front bundle 20441, the moving bundle 20454, and the shovel 204 close and the rotating sleeve 202 rotates, the rolling element 20444 moves on the surface of the planar section 2032, thereby maintaining the constraint of the front bundle 20441 and the moving bundle 20454 on the forage within the symmetrical interior of the processing unit 2. At this time, the roller 20453 continues to move along the inner contraction surface 20331 to the outer expansion surface 20332, and the shovel 204 moves to the middle of the rotating sleeve 202. When the roller 20453 moves to the outer expansion surface 20332, the straw passive block 2045 and the front binding block 20441 clamp the straw between the moving block plate 2045 and the front binding block 20441, thereby clamping the middle part of the straw. At this position, the locking member 205 moves along the inclined section 2031 to the connection point of the flat section 2032 via the rolling member 20532. At this time, the clamping plate 2053 extends out of the interior of the moving groove 2051, so that the clamping plate 205 inside the symmetrical locking member 205 inside the rotating sleeve 202 is clamped. 3. When the extended through rod 20531 closes, the roots and stems of the forage are clamped. At this time, the opposing push drive sources 10221 on both sides of the rotating sleeve 202 are activated, causing the push drive sources 10221 to push the cutter 10222 to close and shear the forage stems between the clamping part 205 and the shovel part 204. After shearing, the push drive sources 10221 quickly reset, thus, after the moving block plate 2045 and the front binding block 20441 clamp the middle of the forage, the clamping position and the forage roots are restricted, thereby making the forage harvesting more efficient. The cutting process is rapid. After cutting, the hay bale is clamped in the middle of the moving block plate 2045 and the front bundle block 20441, and continues to rotate as the rotating sleeve 202 rotates. During this process, the moving block plate 2045, the front bundle block 20441, and the shovel 204 gradually move the hay bale from the bottom to the middle of the hay bale before clamping it. This gradual lifting from the bottom of the hay bale is different from the damage to the hay bale ears caused by the full contact lifting and straightening by the plate in other products on the market. Furthermore, clamping the middle of the hay bale will not damage the seeds of the upper and middle seed-bearing hay bale.

[0087] As the cut forage is transferred to the top of the guide plate 1043 by the rotating sleeve 202, the second rolling element 20532 moves to the connection between the flat section 2032 and the inclined section 2031, and the roller 20453 moves to the connection between the outward expansion surface 20332 and the inward contraction surface 20331. Thus, as the rotating sleeve 202 continues to rotate, the moving block plate 2045 and the front guide block 20441 retract into the processing cavity 2041 under the pull of the elastic element 20431 at the bottom of the fixed plate 2044. The moving block plate 2045 is pulled by the elastic element 20452. The grass is then restored to its original state, thus releasing the clamping state of the cut grass. The grass will fall onto the surface of the guide plate 1043 between the scraper 10431 by gravity, and eventually slide down along the guide plate 1043 into the interior of the harvest bin 104. The subsequent pusher drive source 1041 pushes the pusher plate 1042 to push the grass inside the harvest bin 104 into the interior of the conveyor 105. Of course, a conveyor belt can be installed inside the conveyor 105 at a position lower than the bottom of the harvest bin 104, so that the conveyor belt drives the pusher plate 1042 to push the grass inside the conveyor 105 to the next process.

[0088] The closed rod 20531, installed on the cutter 10222, clamps the roots of the forage when it is being cut, reducing the shaking of the forage during cutting. After cutting, the roots are pulled out of the soil by the rotating sleeve 202, reducing the problem of forage regenerating from the residual roots, becoming malnourished and becoming weeds, which affects the growth of new crops. The pulled-out roots, driven by the rotation of the rotating sleeve 202, will also move with the rolling element 20532 to the connection between the flat section 2032 and the inclined section 2031, and be released into the harvesting bin 104. Of course, this is the ideal situation. On the other hand, the clamping of the forage roots by the closed rod 20531 may not be complete, and the closed rod 20531 may also pull on the connection between some roots and soil, increasing the difficulty for the residual roots to take root again and reducing the possibility of forage regenerating from the roots.

[0089] Of course, in order to ensure that the forage block 20441 can accurately reach the front of the forage after the soil is turned over, the forage can be pre-sown in rows and columns at preset intervals. In this way, when the vehicle is in cruise control mode and driving the equipment to harvest forage, the forage block 20441 can accurately fall to the front of each row of forage under the control of the rotation speed of the shovel 204 and the rotary drive source 1021, and the forage between each row is in line with the distance between the two rotating sleeves 202. Of course, the forage interval position captured by the camera 1011 can also be sent to the PLC for comparison with the preset sowing interval. If they are the same, the rotation speed of the rotary drive source 1021 is not adjusted. If the actual interval increases, the rotation speed of the rotary drive source 1021 decreases, so that the distance of rotation and movement of the adjacent shovel 204 increases with the movement of the vehicle. Conversely, the rotation speed of the rotary drive source 1021 is increased.
