DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the present disclosure, application, and use. It should be understood that in all of these figures, the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar parts and features. The various drawings only schematically represent the concepts and principles of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and do not necessarily show the specific dimensions and proportions of the various embodiments of the present disclosure. Specific parts in specific drawings may be exaggerated to illustrate the relevant details or structures of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0032] See Figure 1-7As shown, the bulb flower scale peeling device provided by the present invention specifically includes a frame 100, a rotating slide 600 is provided in the center of the table of the frame 100, and a turntable 601 is provided on the top of the rotating slide 600; after assembly, the bulb flower bulb is limited to a specific position of the turntable 601 and rotates synchronously with the turntable 601 to achieve synchronous driving. The limiting method can be an adsorption limiting type and a plug-in fixed type, that is, the limiting member 602 can be set as a vacuum suction cup set above the turntable 601, and a vacuum generator is installed below the turntable 601. The vacuum suction cup is connected to the vacuum generator, so that the vacuum suction cup is in a negative pressure state, and the product is adsorbed, which is convenient for fixing and moving. It should be noted that the vacuum suction cup is preferably made of flexible rubber material, so that no damage will be caused to the bulb when sucking or putting it down; that is, the limiter 602 can be set to be composed of at least three stainless steel fork rods, and the bulb of the flower bulb can be rotated by rotating the turntable, so that the corresponding component of each mounting frame 500 can operate the flower bulb after detection. Specifically, three mounting frames 500 are arranged on the periphery of the rotating slide 600, and each mounting frame 500 is equipped with a sensor 501 for sensing the flower bulb, and the three mounting frames 500 are respectively and sequentially equipped with a digging component 200, a petal separation component 300 and a scraping component 400 in a counterclockwise direction;

[0033] See Figure 1 and 5 The hole digging component 200 includes a first electric cylinder 201, which drives the first moving rod 202 to perform lifting operations. A hole-opening member 205 is provided at the bottom of a rotating motor 204 linked to the first moving rod 202. A first mounting platform 203 for connection is provided between the first moving rod 202 and the rotating motor 204, wherein the hole-opening member 205 of the rotating motor 204 is directed downward to perform hole digging pretreatment on the bulbous flower corms, wherein the hole-opening member 205 can be a spatula or a drill bit or other existing structural members that can assist in hole-opening; during processing, the hole-opening member 205 drills and digs holes in the middle of the bulbous flower corms.

[0034] See Figure 1 and 6The petal-splitting assembly 300 includes a second electric cylinder 301, which drives the second moving rod 302 to rise and fall linearly. An electric three-jaw chuck 304 is provided at the bottom of the second moving rod 302, and an inverted cone-shaped petal-splitting claw 305 is installed at the bottom of the electric three-jaw chuck 304. A second mounting platform 303 for connection is provided between the second moving rod 302 and the electric three-jaw chuck 304. This second mounting platform 302 is a right-angle mounting seat, which is convenient for the installation of the electric three-jaw chuck 304. During processing, the petal-splitting claw 305 is inserted downward into the dug hole and breaks the bulb of the bulbous flower, and the petal-splitting claw 305 gradually descends to break it.

[0035] See Figure 1 and 7 The scraper assembly 400 includes a third electric cylinder 401, which drives the third moving rod 402 to perform lifting operations. A scraper plate 405 is fixedly connected to the moving front end of the scraper cylinder 404 linked to the third moving rod 402. A third mounting platform 403 for connection is provided between the third moving rod 402 and the scraper cylinder 404. The movable end of the scraper cylinder 404 is set in the direction of the turntable 602, and a scraper plate 405 is installed on the movable end; during processing, the scraper plate 405 scrapes out the petaled bulbous flowers from the inside of the turntable 601 to the outside. In order to facilitate centralized collection, a discharge port 101 for collecting residual materials is provided on the table of the frame 1. The discharge port 101 is arranged below the scraper assembly 400. When the scraper plate 405 scrapes the materials from the inside to the outside, the materials are collected from the discharge port 101. For this reason, a collection box (not shown in the figure) is arranged below the discharge port 101.

[0036] In order to improve the effect of automatic lifting and detection, two pairs of sensors are installed on the first electric cylinder 201, the second electric cylinder 301 and the third electric cylinder 401, which are the origin detection sensor and the depth detection sensor. The origin detection sensor and the depth detection sensor used are products that can be purchased on the market. In addition, in order to facilitate the transportation, storage and placement of the device, casters 11 for movement are provided at the bottom of the frame 1.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] When the present invention is used, after the rack is pushed to the designated position, the flower bulbs are placed on the initial operation station manually or by a configured manipulator, and fixed by vacuum adsorption or by a fork rod, and the turntable is driven to rotate intermittently by the internal driving force of the rotating slide. After the sensor on the mounting frame senses that the turntable with the flower bulbs rotates to the designated operation area, the corresponding components are driven to operate by the instructions of the PLC background (not shown in the figure), specifically:

[0039] When the turntable enters the operation area of ​​the hole-digging component counterclockwise, the electrical signal transmitted from the background causes the first electric cylinder to drive the first moving rod to move downward, and the first mounting platform installed under the first moving rod drives the rotating motor downward. At this time, the rotating motor is in the on state to drive the hole-digging component to rotate, so that the hole-digging component (shovel or drill bit) digs a hole in the middle of the bulb of the bulbous flower to complete the pretreatment operation. After the operation is completed, it returns to the original state and waits for the next instruction;

[0040] When the turntable enters the operating area of ​​the petal separation component counterclockwise, the electrical signal transmitted from the background causes the second electric cylinder to drive the second moving rod to move downward, and the second mounting platform installed under the second moving rod drives the electric three-claw chuck downward. At this time, the electric three-claw chuck drives the petal separation claws in the inverted cone shape below to insert into the hole dug out of the bulbous flower bulb in the previous step, so as to break the bulbous flower bulb. The electric three-claw chuck is an existing technology. By optimizing it and setting the petal separation claws in the inverted cone shape at the bottom, the effect of breaking from small to large is achieved. After entering the bulbous flower bulb, the petal separation claws are translated by the electric three-claw chuck to break it. This not only realizes the petal separation step by step, but also reduces the breakage rate of the lily petals. After the petal separation operation is completed, it returns to the original state and waits for the next instruction.

[0041] It should be noted here that: since the turntable station is provided with a limiter for adsorbing the lily bulb, even if it is broken, it will continue to rotate and move with the turntable and continue to move to the next station. When using the adsorption vacuum suction cup mode, the petals that fall on the turntable continue to be adsorbed and transmitted backwards. When reaching the scraper component operation area, the vacuum generator breaks the vacuum to allow gas to be steadily filled into the vacuum suction cup, so that the negative air pressure in the vacuum suction cup changes to zero air pressure or slightly positive air pressure, and the vacuum suction cup is separated from the bulb, so that the broken bulb is scattered on the turntable, which is convenient for scraping. When using the fork material rod insertion mode, it is necessary to pay attention to the insertion depth to prevent the situation that it cannot fall into the turntable after being separated, and to prevent the rear end from being unable to be effectively collected, so that the bulb flower bulb fixed by the fork material rod is separated and falls on the turntable and continues to be transmitted backwards;

[0042] When the turntable enters the operating area of ​​the scraper assembly counterclockwise, the electrical signal from the background causes the third electric cylinder to drive the third moving rod to move downward, and the third mounting platform installed under the third moving rod drives the scraper cylinder downward. Since the scraper cylinder is horizontally arranged and the movable end is arranged toward the turntable, during the scraping process, the scraper cylinder opens above the turntable and descends to the upper end of the turntable, scraping the material scattered on the turntable from the inside out to the discharge port, and collects it in the collection box. After the scraping operation is completed, it returns to its original state and waits for the next instruction, thereby realizing a reciprocating operation.

[0043] It should be emphasized that the principles not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to professionals in this field.

[0044] The exemplary implementation scheme of the present disclosure is described in detail above with reference to the preferred embodiments. However, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that, without departing from the concept of the present disclosure, various modifications and variations can be made to the above-mentioned specific embodiments, and various technical features and structures proposed in the present disclosure can be combined in various ways without exceeding the protection scope of the present disclosure, which is determined by the attached claims.
