Description

Technical Field

[0002] The pomegranate picking protection device technology is a technology developed to address the problem of pomegranates being easily damaged during picking. The pomegranate fruit skin is hard and easily damaged, and the fruit contains a large amount of juice. Once damaged, the juice will leak out, affecting the quality and commercial value of the fruit. Therefore, the emergence of the pomegranate picking protection device technology can effectively protect the pomegranate fruit and reduce fruit damage and loss.

[0003] Chinese patent number CN219961386U discloses a pomegranate picking protection device, comprising a base, a support block is fixedly connected to the top of the base, a first limit box is fixedly connected to the top of the support block, a slope is fixedly connected inside the first limit box, a second limit box is fixedly connected to one side of the first limit box, a collection frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second limit box, the first limit box, the second limit box and the collection frame are connected to each other, a support plate is slidably connected to the inside of the collection frame, springs are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the support plate, the bottom ends of the four springs are fixedly connected to the bottom of the collection frame, and a support tube is fixedly connected to the top of the first limit box; the device avoids damage caused by the pomegranate falling from a high altitude when picking pomegranates, reduces losses, and improves the yield of large-scale pomegranate planting.

[0032] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific objectives and functions of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 10As shown, a bump-proof transport device for planting and picking pomegranates comprises a stable conveying device installed on a traveling vehicle 1, the stable conveying device comprises a multi-section buffer guide rail 2, an automatic placement guide rail 3 and an automatic switching storage device 4; the automatic switching storage device 4 is installed on the traveling vehicle 1, a plurality of switchable storage boxes 5 are arranged inside the automatic switching storage device 4, a plurality of dividing grooves 51 are arranged inside the storage box 5, and protective pads 52 are arranged inside the dividing grooves 51, stacking limit edges 53 are arranged on both sides of the top of the storage box 5, and stacking limit grooves 54 are arranged on both sides of the bottom of the storage box 5, and the storage box 5 is used for separating and limiting the storage of pomegranates; the multi-section buffer guide rail 2 is installed on the automatic switching storage device 4, and the multi-section buffer guide rail is used for buffering and guiding the falling pomegranates; the automatic placement guide rail 3 is installed below the multi-section buffer guide rail 2, the feeding end of the automatic placement guide rail 3 is connected to the bottom of the multi-section buffer guide rail 2, and the discharging end of the automatic placement guide rail 3 is arranged above the automatic switching storage device 4, and the automatic placement guide rail 3 is used to automatically place the pomegranate into the storage box 5.

[0034] The automatic switching storage device 4 is installed on the traveling vehicle 1, and is equipped with a plurality of switchable storage boxes 5. Each storage box 5 is provided with a plurality of partition grooves 51 for separating and storing pomegranates to prevent the pomegranates from squeezing each other. A protective pad 52 is also provided inside the partition groove 51 to further enhance the protection of the pomegranates. Stacking limit edges 53 are provided on both sides of the top of the storage box 5, and stacking limit grooves 54 are provided on both sides of the bottom. Multiple storage boxes 5 can be stacked on each other, and the stacking limit edges 53 and the stacking limit grooves 54 cooperate with each other to ensure that the stacking is stable and the pomegranates will not be crushed. The automatic switching storage device 4 can automatically switch the position of the storage box 5, which is convenient for continuous and efficient collection of pomegranates during the picking process. The multi-section buffer guide rail 2 is installed on the automatic switching storage device 4, and the picked pomegranates are guided to fall in sections, thereby slowing down the falling speed and preventing the pomegranates from being damaged by impact. After the pickers pick the pomegranates, they will place the pomegranates in the multi-section buffer guide rail 2. The multi-section buffer guide rail 2 will gradually slow down the falling speed of the pomegranates to ensure that the pomegranates can reach the automatic placement guide rail 3 smoothly and safely. The segmented guidance of the multi-section buffer guide rail 2 can prevent the falling pomegranates from colliding with each other. The automatic placement guide rail 3 is also installed on the automatic switching storage device 4. The feed end of the automatic placement guide rail 3 is connected to the bottom of the multi-section buffer guide rail 2, and the discharge end of the automatic placement guide rail 3 is set above the automatic switching storage device 4. After the pomegranates are buffered by the multi-section buffer guide rail 2, they will be automatically guided to the storage box 5 by the automatic placement guide rail 3. In this process, the automatic placement guide rail 3 ensures that the pomegranates can fall into the dividing groove 51 accurately and smoothly, avoiding collisions and crushing between pomegranates. The present invention can effectively improve the quality of pomegranate picking.

[0035] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the multi-section buffer guide rail 2 includes a guide rail 21 installed on the automatic switching storage device 4, a spacing blocking device 22 is provided inside the guide rail 21, a receiving hopper 23 is provided on the top of the guide rail 21, and a lifting and adjusting rail 24 is provided on the bottom of the guide rail 21.

[0036] The guide drop rail 21 is the main structure of the multi-section buffer guide rail 2, and the guide drop rail 21 is used to guide the pomegranates to fall. In order to ensure that the pomegranates do not collide with each other during the falling process, a spacing blocking device 22 is arranged inside the guide drop rail 21. The spacing blocking device 22 can form a spacing when the pomegranates fall, thereby preventing multiple pomegranates from falling at the same time and causing mutual collision. The receiving hopper 23 is located at the top of the guide drop rail 21, and its function is to receive the pomegranates placed by the pickers. The receiving hopper 23 has a large opening and an appropriate inclination angle, so that the pickers can easily put the pomegranates in and ensure that the pomegranates can slide smoothly into the guide drop rail 21. The lifting and adjusting rail 24 is installed at the bottom of the guide drop rail 21, and the lifting and adjusting rail 24 is used to adjust the height of the guide drop rail 21.

[0037] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the spacing blocking device 22 includes a plurality of telescopic contact bars 221 installed inside the guide blanking rail 21, the sides of the telescopic contact bars 221 are provided with contact pads 222, and the sides of the telescopic contact bars 221 are also provided with a plurality of buffer blocking sheets 223. The spacing blocking device 22 includes a spacing control device 224 for driving the plurality of telescopic contact bars 221 to perform synchronous telescopic movement.

[0038] When the pomegranate slides from the receiving hopper 23 into the guide drop rail 21, the buffering effect of the contact pad 222 prevents the pomegranate from being subjected to excessive impact force. At the same time, the buffer blocking piece 223 will play a role in decelerating and stabilizing the pomegranate. As the pomegranate falls, the interval control device 224 will start, driving the multiple telescopic contact strips 221 to perform reciprocating telescopic motion. When the multiple telescopic contact strips 221 perform synchronous telescopic movement, a short interval space will be formed between the telescopic contact strips 221 that were originally closely arranged, and the interval space provides enough space for the pomegranate to fall. The pomegranate will fall steadily along the short opening and closing interval space, which can effectively separate pomegranates of different sizes and avoid the risk of collision with each other. It can adapt to pomegranates of different sizes and weights, improving the flexibility and adaptability of the device.

[0039] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the interval regulating device 224 includes a plurality of telescopic contact frames 2245 installed on the telescopic contact strip 221, the telescopic contact frame 2245 is slidably connected to the guide blanking rail 21, the telescopic contact frame 2245 is fixedly connected to the telescopic contact strip 221, a return spring 2246 is installed between the telescopic contact frame 2245 and the guide blanking rail 21, the interval regulating device 224 also includes an outer mounting bracket 2241, a pushing ring 2243 is installed on the mounting bracket 2241, a plurality of inclined pushing blocks 2244 are arranged inside the pushing ring 2243, the contact surface of the inclined pushing block 2244 is in contact with the telescopic contact frame 2245, a rotating drive device 2242 is also installed on the mounting bracket 2241, and the rotating drive device 2242 is used to drive the pushing ring 2243 to rotate.

[0040] The rotation driving device 2242 is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0041] A telescopic abutment frame 2245 is fixedly mounted on the telescopic abutment bar 221, and a sliding connection is formed between the telescopic abutment frame 2245 and the guide blanking rail 21. A reset spring 2246 is also installed between the telescopic abutment frame 2245 and the guide blanking rail 21, and the reset spring 2246 provides a force for the telescopic abutment frame 2245 to return to its original position. The mounting bracket 2241 is located on the outside of the device, and is used to support and fix the rotation drive device 2242. The pushing ring 2243 is mounted on the mounting bracket 2241, and a plurality of inclined pushing blocks 2244 are arranged inside the pushing ring 2243, and the abutment surface of the inclined pushing blocks 2244 abuts against the telescopic abutment frame 2245. The rotation drive device 2242 is responsible for driving the pushing ring 2243 to rotate, thereby realizing the function of interval pushing.

[0042] When it is necessary to push the telescopic resistance strip 221 to move at intervals, the rotary drive device 2242 is started, driving the pushing ring 2243 to start rotating. When the pushing ring 2243 rotates, the inclined pushing block 2244 on its inner wall comes into contact with the telescopic resistance frame 2245. Due to the inclined design of the inclined pushing block 2244, the inclined pushing block 2244 will produce an extrusion effect on the telescopic resistance frame 2245. After being squeezed, the telescopic resistance frame 2245 will slide along the guide blanking rail 21 and push the telescopic resistance strip 221 to shrink and move synchronously. When the inclined pushing block 2244 rotates past the telescopic resistance frame 2245, the reset spring 2246 starts to play a role, and the reset spring 2246 uses its own elastic force to push the telescopic resistance frame 2245 to expand and reset. While the telescopic resistance frame 2245 is expanding and resetting, it also drives the telescopic resistance strip 221 to expand and reset synchronously. Through the reciprocating squeezing and resetting process, the telescopic resistance strip 221 forms an interval telescopic movement, providing sufficient falling space for the falling pomegranates, thereby achieving effective spacing and guidance of the pomegranates.

[0043] The spacing control device 224 realizes dynamic control of the telescopic contact strip 221 through the coordinated action of the rotating drive device 2242, the pushing ring 2243, the inclined pushing block 2244, the telescopic contact frame 2245 and the return spring 2246, thereby effectively separating pomegranates of different sizes, avoiding the risk of mutual collision, and improving flexibility and adaptability.

[0044] See also Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the lifting and adjusting rail 24 includes a fixed sleeve 241 arranged below the guiding blanking rail 21, a plurality of material blocking strips 2411 are arranged inside the fixed sleeve 241, a fixed mounting frame 2412 is arranged on the outer side of the fixed sleeve 241, an adjusting sleeve 242 is also sleeved on the outer side of the fixed sleeve 241, the adjusting sleeve 242 is slidably connected to the fixed sleeve 241, an adjusting screw rod 243 is installed between the adjusting sleeve 242 and the fixed mounting frame 2412, and the end of the adjusting sleeve 242 away from the fixed sleeve 241 is connected to the bottom of the guiding blanking rail 21.

[0045] The interior of the fixed sleeve 241 is designed with a plurality of material blocking strips 2411. The main function of the material blocking strips 2411 is to slow down the speed of the pomegranate falling from the guide drop rail 21, to ensure that the pomegranate will not be damaged due to excessive speed during the falling process, and also to provide a more stable landing environment for the pomegranate. The adjusting sleeve 242 is sleeved on the outside of the fixed sleeve 241, and a sliding connection is formed between the fixed sleeve 241, so that the adjusting sleeve 242 can move up and down on the fixed sleeve 241, thereby realizing the function of height adjustment. In order to achieve accurate height adjustment, an adjusting screw rod 243 is installed between the adjusting sleeve 242 and the fixed mounting frame 2412. The adjusting screw rod 243 can ensure that when the staff rotates, the adjusting sleeve 242 can move up and down along the fixed sleeve 241 smoothly and accurately. By rotating the adjusting screw rod 243 clockwise or counterclockwise, the staff can easily adjust the spacing between the fixed sleeve 241 and the adjusting sleeve 242, thereby changing the height of the guide drop rail 21.

[0046] In actual operation, the pickers can adjust the height of the guide rail 21 by rotating the screw rod 243 according to their own height, operating habits, and the size of the pomegranate, so that the position of the hopper 23 is more in line with the principle of ergonomics, which is convenient for easily putting the pomegranate in. At the same time, the blocking strip 2411 inside the fixed sleeve 241 can effectively slow down the speed of the pomegranate falling, further improving the safety and stability of transportation.

[0047] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the automatic placement guide rail 3 includes a buffer material receiving seat 31 installed at the bottom of the multi-section buffer guide rail 2, the buffer material receiving seat 31 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the multi-section buffer guide rail 2, a rotating guide rail 32 is provided on the side of the buffer material receiving seat 31, a telescopic guide rail 33 is installed on the rotating guide rail 32, the telescopic guide rail 33 and the buffer material receiving seat 31 are provided with a sensor 34, a vibrator 35 is installed on the rotating guide rail 32, and a linear pushing device 37 is provided on the side of the buffer material receiving seat 31 away from the rotating guide rail 32. The automatic placement guide rail 3 also includes a moving adjustment device 36 for driving the telescopic guide rail 33 to move and adjust, and the moving adjustment device 36 includes a first ball screw slide 361 installed on the side of the automatic switching storage device 4, a first linear driver 362 is installed on the movable end of the first ball screw slide 361, and a connecting ball head 363 is installed on the telescopic end of the first linear driver 362, and the connecting ball head 363 is connected to the telescopic guide rail 33.

[0048] First, the starting part of the automatic placement guide rail 3 is the buffer receiving seat 31, which is connected to the bottom of the multi-stage buffer guide rail 2 by rotation to achieve seamless docking. After the pomegranate passes through the multi-stage buffer guide rail 2 and is gradually decelerated, it finally falls smoothly on the buffer receiving seat 31, ensuring the continuity and stability of the pomegranate during the falling process.

[0049] A rotating guide rail 32 is provided on the side of the buffer receiving seat 31, and a telescopic guide rail 33 is installed on the rotating guide rail 32. The telescopic guide rail 33 can be flexibly adjusted according to the position of the storage box 5 to ensure that the pomegranates can be accurately sent into the partition groove 51 in the storage box 5. Sensors 34 are provided on the telescopic guide rail 33 and the buffer receiving seat 31. The sensor 34 can monitor the arrival and position of the pomegranates in real time and provide accurate data support for subsequent automatic operations.

[0050] In order to ensure that the pomegranate does not stay in the rotating guide rail 32 and the telescopic guide rail 33 during the transfer process, a vibrator 35 is also installed on the rotating guide rail 32. When the sensor 34 detects that a pomegranate is stuck in the rotating guide rail 32 and the telescopic guide rail 33, the vibrator 35 will vibrate to make the pomegranate quickly slide along the rotating guide rail 32 and the telescopic guide rail 33 to the specified position.

[0051] A linear push device 37 is provided on one side of the buffer receiving seat 31 away from the rotating guide rail 32. The linear push device 37 includes a second linear driver 371. A buffering abutment block 372 is installed at the output end of the second linear driver 371. When the sensor 34 detects that the pomegranate has fallen on the buffer receiving seat 31 and is in a stable state, the second linear driver 371 is started to push the buffering abutment block 372 to smoothly abut the pomegranate, so that the pomegranate is separated from the buffer receiving seat 31 and enters the rotating guide rail 32 and the telescopic guide rail 33. The design of the buffering abutment block 372 not only reduces the impact force of the abutment block 372, but also provides effective thrust for the pomegranate.

[0052] In order to realize the movement and adjustment of the telescopic guide rail 33, the automatic placement guide rail 3 also includes a movement and adjustment device 36. The device is composed of a first ball screw slide 361 and a first linear drive 362 installed on the side of the automatic switching storage device 4. The first ball screw slide 361 provides the first linear drive 362 with precise linear motion, and the first linear drive 362 is responsible for driving the telescopic guide rail 33 to move left and right. The first linear drive 362 is connected to the telescopic guide rail 33 through a connecting ball head 363, realizing flexible adjustment and stable movement of the telescopic guide rail 33.

[0053] The automatic placement guide rail 3 realizes the smooth and accurate transfer of pomegranates from the multi-section buffer guide rail 2 to the storage box 5 through the coordinated work of the buffer receiving seat 31, the rotating guide rail 32, the telescopic guide rail 33, the sensor 34, the vibrator 35, the linear pushing device 37 and the movable adjustment device 36.

[0054] See also Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, a rotating material receiving plate 311 is installed inside the buffer material receiving seat 31, and the material receiving surface of the rotating material receiving plate 311 is provided with an airbag resistance layer 312. The buffer material receiving seat 31 also includes a limiting sleeve 313 installed at the bottom of the rotating material receiving plate 311, and a resistance rod 315 is installed inside the limiting sleeve 313. A buffer spring 314 is provided between the resistance rod 315 and the limiting sleeve 313, and the top of the resistance rod 315 is in resistance with the bottom of the rotating material receiving plate 311.

[0055] The buffer receiving seat 31 is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the multi-stage buffer guide rail 2. This rotatable connection ensures that the pomegranate can fall smoothly and continuously on the rotating receiving plate 311 after being decelerated step by step, avoiding the impact force caused by direct impact. At the same time, the receiving surface of the rotating receiving plate 311 is designed with an airbag resistance layer 312, which can effectively reduce the impact force when the pomegranate contacts, thereby effectively absorbing and dispersing the impact force, and further protecting the integrity of the pomegranate.

[0056] The combination structure of the limiting sleeve 313 and the abutment rod 315. When the pomegranate falls on the rotating receiving plate 311, the impact force causes the rotating receiving plate 311 to be subjected to a certain downward pressure, and the abutment rod 315 moves toward the inside of the limiting sleeve 313. During this process, the buffer spring 314 will be gradually compressed, thereby further absorbing the remaining impact force, and realizing secondary buffer protection for the pomegranate.

[0057] The rotating receiving plate 311 can not only ensure the stability and continuity of the pomegranates during the transfer process, but also minimize the damage to the pomegranates caused by impact through the dual protection of the airbag resistance layer 312 and the buffer spring 314. It not only improves the overall performance and efficiency of the automatic placement guide rail 3 system, but also ensures the quality and safety of the pomegranates during the automated processing process.

[0058] See also Figure 2 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the automatic switching storage device 4 includes a limiting placement platform 41 installed on the traveling vehicle 1, and a loading chamber and a unloading chamber are provided inside the limiting placement platform 41. A first lifting and pushing device 42 and a second lifting and pushing device 43 are installed inside the loading chamber and the unloading chamber respectively, and a horizontal pushing device 44 is installed above the first lifting and pushing device 42 and the second lifting and pushing device 43.

[0059] The interior of the limiting placement platform 41 is divided into a loading chamber and a unloading chamber. A first lifting and pushing device 42 and a second lifting and pushing device 43 are respectively installed in the loading chamber and the unloading chamber for vertically moving the storage box 5. A horizontal pushing device 44 is installed above the first lifting and pushing device 42 and the second lifting and pushing device 43 for horizontally moving the storage box 5.

[0060] First, the first lifting and pushing device 42 works in the loading chamber to lift and adjust the stacked empty storage boxes 5 to a proper height, ready to receive the pomegranates from the automatic placement guide rail 3.

[0061] When the empty storage box 5 is lifted to the bottom of the automatic placement guide rail 3, the automatic placement guide rail 3 starts to work. The automatic placement guide rail 3 receives the pomegranates that fall from the multi-section buffer guide rail 2 after buffering, and guides and transports these pomegranates to the partition groove 51 in the storage box 5 smoothly and accurately. The protective pad 52 in the partition groove 51 effectively prevents collision and crushing between pomegranates. As the pomegranates are continuously transported, the storage box 5 is gradually filled. Once the storage box 5 reaches the preset full load state, the horizontal pushing device 44 is started, driving the storage box 5 to slide horizontally to the unloading chamber.

[0062] In the unloading chamber, the second lifting and pushing device 43 is ready to receive the fully loaded storage box 5 moved from the horizontal pushing device 44, and then lower it to a specified position for subsequent transportation or processing.

[0063] At the same time, the first lifting and pushing device 42 continues to work, lifting the next empty storage box 5 in the loading chamber to the bottom of the automatic placement guide rail 3, ready to receive new pomegranates. In this way, the entire device forms a continuous and efficient cycle process. The automatic switching storage device 4 realizes the continuous automatic switching of the storage box 5, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the picking process. The entire process realizes a high degree of automation and mechanized operation, greatly reducing the need for manual intervention and labor intensity.

[0064] See also Figure 2 and Fig. 9 As shown, the first lifting and pushing device 42 and the second lifting and pushing device 43 have the same structure. The first lifting and pushing device 42 includes a second ball screw slide 421 vertically installed on the side of the limit placement platform 41, and a limit placement seat 422 is installed on the movable end of the second ball screw slide 421. A limit slide groove 423 is provided on the top of the limit placement seat 422, and the limit slide groove 423 matches the bottom of the storage box 5.

[0065] When the storage box 5 needs to be raised or lowered, the second ball screw slide 421 receives the control signal and drives the position limiting seat 422 to move in the vertical direction. The position limiting slide 423 on the top of the position limiting seat 422 maintains close contact with the bottom of the storage box 5, ensuring that the storage box 5 will not deviate or shake during the lifting process. This design not only improves the stability of the lifting, but also effectively prevents the storage box 5 from being damaged by collision during the lifting process.

[0066] See also Figure 3 and Fig.10 As shown, the horizontal pushing device 44 includes a third ball screw slide 441 installed on the side of the limiting placement platform 41, and a horizontal pushing plate 442 is installed on the movable end of the third ball screw slide 441.

[0067] When the first lifting and pushing device 42 lifts the empty storage box 5 in the loading chamber to the bottom of the automatic placement guide rail 3 and successfully receives the pomegranates to reach the full load state, the horizontal pushing device 44 starts to start. At this time, the third ball screw slide 441 receives the start signal and drives the horizontal push plate 442 to move horizontally. As the horizontal push plate 442 moves, it fits on the side of the fully loaded storage box 5 and gradually applies thrust. This thrust is uniform and stable, ensuring that the storage box 5 can slide smoothly from the loading chamber to the unloading chamber.

[0068] Specific working principle:

[0069] The automatic switching storage device 4 is installed on the traveling vehicle 1, and is equipped with a plurality of switchable storage boxes 5. Each storage box 5 is provided with a plurality of partition grooves 51 for separating and storing pomegranates to prevent the pomegranates from squeezing each other. A protective pad 52 is also provided inside the partition groove 51 to further enhance the protection of the pomegranates. Stacking limit edges 53 are provided on both sides of the top of the storage box 5, and stacking limit grooves 54 are provided on both sides of the bottom. Multiple storage boxes 5 can be stacked on each other, and the stacking limit edges 53 and the stacking limit grooves 54 cooperate with each other to ensure that the stacking is stable and the pomegranates will not be crushed. The automatic switching storage device 4 can automatically switch the position of the storage box 5, which is convenient for continuous and efficient collection of pomegranates during the picking process. The multi-section buffer guide rail 2 is installed on the automatic switching storage device 4, and the picked pomegranates are guided to fall in sections, thereby slowing down the falling speed and preventing the pomegranates from being damaged by impact. After the pickers pick the pomegranates, they will place the pomegranates in the multi-section buffer guide rail 2. The multi-section buffer guide rail 2 will gradually slow down the falling speed of the pomegranates to ensure that the pomegranates can reach the automatic placement guide rail 3 smoothly and safely. The segmented guidance of the multi-section buffer guide rail 2 can prevent the falling pomegranates from colliding with each other. The automatic placement guide rail 3 is also installed on the automatic switching storage device 4. The feeding end of the automatic placement guide rail 3 is connected to the bottom of the multi-section buffer guide rail 2, and the discharging end of the automatic placement guide rail 3 is set above the automatic switching storage device 4. After the pomegranates are buffered by the multi-section buffer guide rail 2, they will be automatically guided to the storage box 5 by the automatic placement guide rail 3. In this process, the automatic placement guide rail 3 ensures that the pomegranates can fall into the partition groove 51 accurately and smoothly, avoiding collisions and crushing between pomegranates.
