Technical Problem

现有的伐木工程车的伐木刀臂结构是采用机械臂进行控制,利用夹具将树干进行固定,然后推动锯片朝向树干进行移动,从而将树干锯断,得到木材,但是这种伐木刀臂只适用于较细的树干,对于直径大于1m的树干,这种锯片就非常大,半径必须超过1m,就需要使用更大型的推动锯片的设备,并且现有的夹具不能调节尺寸,对于较大直径的树干,无法完全合拢固定

Benefits of technology

1、通过设置夹持臂和延伸臂,可以适用于较大直径的木材和较小直径的木材,提高设备的通用性,并且同组中的夹持臂以及延伸臂相互间交错设置,可以避免在夹持固定木材时,夹持臂和夹持臂之间、延伸臂和延伸臂之间相互挤压抵靠,保证夹持状态始终能够完全合拢,而采用电锯机,利用第三伺服电机控制其转动,相对于使用锯片进行裁切,锯链切割不需要使用推进装置,且不会占用较大的体积,重量也更轻,更灵活操作,还设置有滚筒,可以控制木材移动,对木材进行分段切割处理。

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of logging cutter arm technology, specifically a logging cutter arm structure for logging engineering vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Many types of machinery are used in logging operations, including logging vehicles. These vehicles can cut timber from the bottom, cutting it into equal lengths. They can also be used for aerial logging operations in urban areas. Existing logging vehicles use a robotic arm controlled by a clamp to hold the trunk in place, then pushes the saw blade towards the trunk to cut it and obtain timber. However, this type of logging arm is only suitable for thinner trunks. For trunks with a diameter greater than 1 meter, the saw blade is too large, requiring a radius exceeding 1 meter, necessitating a larger device to push the blade. Furthermore, existing clamps cannot be adjusted in size, making it impossible to fully close and secure larger diameter trunks. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a logging arm structure for logging vehicles to address the problems mentioned in the background section. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a logging cutter arm structure for logging engineering vehicles to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A logging arm structure for a logging engineering vehicle includes a connecting block. One end of the connecting block is fixedly connected to a clamping frame. The surface of the clamping frame is provided with clamping components. A third servo motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the clamping frame. The drive end of the third servo motor faces downward and is fixedly connected to an electric saw. A saw chain is installed on one side of the electric saw. A direction control component is installed at the other end of the connecting block.

[0005] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the clamping assembly is provided in two sets, located on the upper and lower sides of the clamping frame respectively. Each set of clamping assemblies includes two sixth servo motors located on the same horizontal plane. The sixth servo motors are fixedly installed on the front side of the clamping frame, and a clamping arm is fixedly connected to the drive end of the sixth servo motor. The two clamping arms in the same set are bent towards the other side.

[0006] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a fifth servo motor is fixedly installed at the end of the clamping arm away from the sixth servo motor, and an extension arm is fixedly connected to the driving end of the fifth servo motor, and an extension arm is fixedly connected to the driving end of the extension arm.

[0007] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the two clamping arms located in the same group are staggered, the two extension arms located in the same group are also staggered, and the staggered direction of the two clamping arms is opposite to the staggered direction of the two extension arms.

[0008] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a bidirectional cylinder is fixedly installed inside the clamping frame. The bidirectional cylinder is horizontally arranged. Both drive ends of the bidirectional cylinder are fixedly connected to movable brackets. A second cylinder is embedded and fixedly installed inside the movable brackets. The second cylinder is located between the two sets of clamping components. The drive end of the second cylinder is facing away from the connecting block. A motor is fixedly installed on the drive end of the second cylinder. A roller is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor.

[0009] As a further aspect of the present invention, the outer surface of the roller is provided with anti-slip teeth.

[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the direction control component includes a connecting frame, a second servo motor is fixedly mounted on the surface of the connecting frame, the drive end of the second servo motor is fixedly connected to the connecting block, a plane bearing is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting frame, the upper plane of the plane bearing is fixedly connected to the drive end of the first cylinder, an extension plate and a driven gear are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sidewalls of the plane bearing respectively, a first servo motor is fixedly mounted on the surface of the extension plate, a drive gear is fixedly connected to the drive end of the first servo motor, and the drive gear and the driven gear mesh.

[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the direction control component further includes an extension rod, one end of which is fixedly connected to a fourth servo motor, the drive end of the fourth servo motor is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the first cylinder, the other side of the extension rod is hinged to a rotating seat, the surface of the rotating seat is rotatably connected to a mounting seat, the interior of the rotating seat is hinged to a third cylinder, and the drive end of the third cylinder is hinged to the surface of the extension rod.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. By setting up clamping arms and extension arms, it can be applied to both large and small diameter timber, improving the versatility of the equipment. Furthermore, the clamping arms and extension arms in the same group are staggered to avoid mutual squeezing and abutment between clamping arms and extension arms when clamping and fixing timber, ensuring that the clamping state can always be fully closed. In contrast, the electric saw uses a third servo motor to control its rotation. Compared to using a saw blade for cutting, the saw chain cutting does not require a propulsion device, does not occupy a large volume, is lighter, and is more flexible to operate. It is also equipped with rollers to control the movement of timber and perform segmented cutting of timber.

[0013] 2. By setting up a direction control component, the direction of the clamping component and the chainsaw can be precisely controlled, facilitating logging operations. Attached Figure Description

During logging operations, two sets of clamping components can be used. The tree trunk is clamped and fixed. The clamping arm 23 is rotated and fixed by the sixth servo motor 34. For thicker trunks, the fifth servo motor 33 can be controlled to drive the extension arm 24 to rotate and fix the trunk. Then, the third servo motor 21 is controlled to drive the chainsaw 22, which uses its saw chain to cut the trunk. When it is necessary to segment a longer trunk, the sixth servo motor 34 can be controlled in reverse to rotate, so that the clamping arm 23 and the trunk are slightly loosened. Then, the bidirectional cylinder 36 and the second cylinder 25 are driven to bring the roller 27 close to the surface of the trunk. Then, the motor 26 is driven to rotate the roller 27. Then, the third servo motor 21 and the chainsaw 22 are turned on again. The saw chain is used to cut the wood into segments.
