TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of rubber harvesting, in particular to a needle pricking rubber harvesting method and device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The traditional method of collecting natural rubber is to cut a rubber line on the rubber tree according to a spiral line, so that the latex flows out along the cut line and is finally collected. However, this rubber cutting method is difficult to operate and consumes a lot of bark.
[0003] In contrast, the needle pricking rubber harvesting technology is a more advanced method of collecting natural rubber. This technology uses ethephon to stimulate the rubber tree. Ethephon is gradually degraded after being absorbed by the rubber tree, releasing ethylene, which stimulates the rubber tree and expands the influence range of latex discharge. Subsequently, by pricking the latex tube with a fine needle, the coagulation of the wound can be delayed, increasing the latex discharge time, thereby achieving a more ideal rubber harvesting yield. However, the existing needle pricking rubber harvesting technology has the problems of low work efficiency and high labor cost. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application aims to provide a needle pricking rubber harvesting method and device to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

The method includes the following steps: S10: adjusting the needle pricking mechanism to a set initial position and obtaining a rubber harvesting instruction; S20: according to the rubber harvesting instruction, the needle pricking mechanism moves to a target needle pricking point in a first direction, and after the needle pricking mechanism reaches the target needle pricking point and completes the needle pricking operation, the needle pricking mechanism moves in a second direction; wherein when the needle pricking mechanism moves to a trigger position in the first direction or the needle pricking mechanism moves to the trigger position in the second direction, the walking mechanism starts to move along the displacement direction of the guide rail frame to drive the needle pricking mechanism to move along the rubber tree; S30: when the needle pricking mechanism reaches the next needle pricking position of the rubber tree, the rubber harvesting instruction is obtained again, and according to the rubber harvesting instruction, the needle pricking mechanism moves to the target needle pricking point in the first direction and performs the needle pricking operation; S40: repeating steps S20 to S30 until the needle pricking operation of the entire rubber tree is completed.
[0006] Further, the needle puncture mechanism comprises a driving part and a transmission part, and the transmission part is connected with the needle assembly; in step S20, according to the rubber taking instruction, the needle puncture mechanism moves to the target puncture point in the first direction, and after the needle puncture mechanism reaches the target puncture point and completes the puncture operation, the needle puncture mechanism moves in the second direction, specifically including: after the driving part receives the rubber taking instruction, the driving part starts to work, drives the needle assembly to move in the first direction, and reaches the target puncture point, and after the needle assembly reaches the target puncture point and completes the puncture operation, the needle assembly moves in the second direction.
[0007] Further, the driving part comprises a crank gear assembly, and the needle assembly comprises a rotary drill bit; the crank gear assembly drives the needle assembly to reciprocate by rotating, so as to drive the rotary drill bit to approach or move away from the surface of the rubber tree.
[0008] Further, the transmission part further comprises a chuck member for connecting the rotary drill bit, and the chuck member is provided with a driving gear; the driving gear is in transmission connection with the crank gear assembly, so as to drive the rotary drill bit to rotate.
[0009] Further, the driving part comprises an energy storage and release assembly, and the needle assembly comprises a needle tube; the energy storage and release assembly drives the needle assembly to reciprocate to accumulate or release elastic potential energy, when the energy storage and release assembly pulls the needle tube away from the rubber tree, the energy storage and release assembly accumulates elastic potential energy; when the energy storage and release assembly pushes the needle tube to approach the rubber tree, the energy storage and release assembly releases the elastic potential energy.
[0010] Further, the transmission part further comprises a sliding block for cooperating with the energy storage and release assembly, and the energy storage and release assembly is provided with a sliding rail; when the energy storage and release assembly is in the state of accumulating elastic potential energy, the sliding block moves relative to the sliding rail; when the energy storage and release assembly is in the state of releasing elastic potential energy, the sliding block is separated from the sliding rail.
[0011] Further, the device further comprises a silk lowering mechanism, and the silk lowering mechanism comprises a lifting assembly and a ratchet wheel in transmission connection with the walking mechanism, the lifting assembly is provided with a pawl for cooperating with the ratchet wheel, and the lifting assembly is in transmission connection with the needle puncture mechanism and the walking mechanism; in step S20, when the needle puncture mechanism moves to the trigger position in the first direction or the needle puncture mechanism moves to the trigger position in the second direction, the walking mechanism starts to move along the displacement direction of the guide rail frame to drive the needle puncture mechanism to move along the rubber tree, specifically including: when the needle puncture mechanism moves to the trigger position in the first direction or the needle puncture mechanism moves to the trigger position in the second direction, the pawl drives the ratchet wheel, and the walking mechanism starts to move along the displacement direction of the guide rail frame to drive the needle puncture mechanism to move along the surface of the rubber tree.
[0012] Furthermore, the device also includes a wire-dropping mechanism and a sensor. The wire-dropping mechanism includes a lifting assembly and a positioning component disposed on the lifting assembly. The sensor and the positioning component cooperate with each other to position the lifting assembly. In step S20, when the needle-punching mechanism moves to the trigger position in the first direction or moves to the trigger position in the second direction, the walking mechanism starts to move along the displacement direction of the guide rail frame to drive the needle-punching mechanism to move along the rubber tree. Specifically, when the needle-punching mechanism moves to the trigger position in the first direction or moves to the trigger position in the second direction, the sensor acquires the position of the needle-punching mechanism and transmits the sensing signal to the walking mechanism. After receiving the sensing signal, the walking mechanism starts to move along the displacement direction of the guide rail frame to drive the needle-punching mechanism to move along the surface of the rubber tree.
[0013] Furthermore, the traveling mechanism includes a clutch; after the needle-piercing mechanism completes the needle-piercing operation along the guide rail, the clutch is unlocked to stop the transmission between the traveling mechanism and the needle-piercing mechanism, and then the needle-piercing mechanism is adjusted and reset.

Detailed Implementation
[0034] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0035] An embodiment of the present invention provides a needle-punching adhesive extraction method, which is applied to a needle-punching adhesive extraction device. The device includes a guide rail frame 100, a needle-punching mechanism 200, and a traveling mechanism 300. The method includes the following steps: S10: Adjusting the needle-punching mechanism 200 to a set initial position and obtaining an adhesive extraction command; S20: According to the adhesive extraction command, the needle-punching mechanism 200 moves in a first direction to reach a target needle-punching point. After the needle-punching mechanism 200 reaches the target needle-punching point and completes the needle-punching operation, the needle-punching mechanism 200 moves in a second direction; wherein, when the needle-punching mechanism 200... When the needle-punching mechanism moves to the trigger position in the first direction or moves to the trigger position in the second direction, the traveling mechanism 300 starts to move along the displacement direction of the guide rail frame 100 to drive the needle-punching mechanism 200 to move along the rubber tree; S30: When the needle-punching mechanism 200 reaches the next needle-punching position of the rubber tree, it obtains the rubber-taking instruction again. According to the rubber-taking instruction, the needle-punching mechanism moves to the first direction to reach the target needle-punching point and performs the needle-punching operation; S40: Repeat steps S20 to S30 until the needle-punching operation of the entire rubber tree is completed.
[0036] like Figure 1As shown, this invention relates to a method for extracting rubber by needle puncture. This method is mainly applied to a needle puncture rubber extraction device, the basic components of which include a guide rail frame 100, a needle puncture mechanism 200, and a traveling mechanism 300. The method includes: adjusting the initial position: before starting, the needle puncture mechanism 200 is adjusted to a set initial position to prepare for receiving the rubber extraction command; receiving the rubber extraction command: according to the received command, the needle puncture mechanism 200 moves in a first direction, i.e., towards the surface of the rubber tree, to reach a preset target needle puncture point, specifically the position on the surface of the rubber tree to be needled; performing the needle puncture operation: after reaching the target needle puncture point, the needle puncture mechanism 200 begins to penetrate deep into the surface of the rubber tree to complete the needle puncture operation, and then moves in a second direction, i.e., away from the rubber tree. Surface direction movement; after the needle-punching mechanism 200 moves to the trigger position, the traveling mechanism 300 begins to move along the displacement direction of the guide rail frame 100, thereby driving the needle-punching mechanism 200 to move further along the rubber tree; repeat the needle-punching process: after the needle-punching mechanism 200 reaches the next needle-punching position, it obtains the rubber-taking command again, and then moves towards the surface of the rubber tree to reach the new target needle-punching point, repeating the needle-punching operation; complete the entire operation: this process will perform needle-punching and rubber-taking according to the set interval time or rubber-taking command until the needle-punching operation of the entire rubber tree is completed.
[0037] Specifically, the needle-punching mechanism 200 moves to the trigger position. In the needle-punching operation, the needle-punching mechanism 200 rises or falls. Therefore, it can be set to move to the trigger position when the needle-punching mechanism 200 moves in the first direction or the second direction, thereby ensuring that the walking mechanism 300 can move along the displacement direction of the guide rail frame 100.
[0038] It should be noted that the trigger position is a unidirectional structure. When the needle-piercing mechanism 200 moves to the trigger position in the first direction, its descent causes the unidirectional structure to operate, thereby driving the traveling mechanism 300 to move along the guide rail 100. However, the upward movement of the needle-piercing mechanism 200 does not trigger the unidirectional structure. When the needle-piercing mechanism 200 moves to the trigger position in the second direction, its upward movement causes the unidirectional structure to operate, thereby driving the traveling mechanism 300 to move along the guide rail 100. However, the downward movement of the needle-piercing mechanism 200 does not trigger the unidirectional structure. It should also be noted that after completing one needle-piercing action, the needle-piercing action at the next location is not immediately initiated. Instead, the next needle-piercing action is initiated according to a set time interval or instruction. For example, on the first day, the needle-piercing action at the first location is performed. After completing the needle-piercing operation, the machine moves to the next location, awaiting instructions, and the needle-piercing operation at that location begins on the second day.
[0039] This method ensures operational precision and reduces errors inherent in manual operations through automated needle-punching and movement mechanisms. Its systematic approach significantly improves latex harvesting efficiency, enabling needle-punching to cover the entire rubber tree under pre-defined instructions, reducing repetitive labor. Compared to traditional tapping methods, this method minimizes damage to the rubber tree's bark through precise needle-punching technology. This technology is applicable to rubber trees of varying diameters and heights, allowing for flexible adjustment of needle point positions and enhancing adaptability. By extending latex discharge time and optimizing the harvesting process, overall latex yield can be increased.
[0040] In some embodiments of this application, the needle-punching mechanism 200 includes a drive unit 210 and a transmission unit 220, with the transmission unit 220 connected to a needle assembly 221. In step S20, according to the glue-taking instruction, the needle-punching mechanism 200 moves in a first direction to reach the target needle-punching point. After the needle-punching mechanism 200 reaches the target needle-punching point and completes the needle-punching operation, it moves in a second direction. Specifically, the drive unit 210 starts working after receiving the glue-taking instruction, driving the needle assembly 221 to move in the first direction and reach the target needle-punching point. After the needle assembly 221 reaches the target needle-punching point and completes the needle-punching operation, it moves in the second direction.
[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the needle-punching mechanism 200 includes two main components: a drive unit 210 and a transmission unit 220. The transmission unit 220 is connected to the needle assembly 221. Upon receiving a rubber-taking command, the drive unit 210 starts operating and performs subsequent actions. The drive unit 210, through the transmission unit 220, drives the needle assembly 221 towards the rubber tree, ultimately reaching the preset target needle-punching point and completing the needle-punching operation. Then, the needle assembly 221 moves away from the rubber tree.
[0042] The separate design of the drive unit 210 and the transmission unit 220 allows the overall needle-punching mechanism 200 to be flexibly adjusted according to different operational needs and the characteristics of the rubber tree during the process of achieving the target needle-punching point. The drive unit 210 works immediately upon receiving the latex-collecting command, enabling rapid response and improving the timeliness and accuracy of latex collection. The simplified design of the needle assembly 221 reduces the complex mechanical structure of traditional methods, lowering the complexity of operation and maintenance difficulty, and facilitating daily management and maintenance by the operator. Through precise needle movement, operation can be performed at the designated target needle-punching point, ensuring the accuracy of latex collection, maximizing latex extraction, and minimizing damage to the bark.
[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the drive unit 210 is connected to the motor, and the drive unit 210 provides the transmission unit 220 with the power of movement; preferably, the drive unit 210 can be a crank gear assembly 211, and the transmission unit 220 that cooperates with it can be a rotary drill bit 222; preferably, the drive unit 210 can be an energy storage and release assembly 212, and the transmission unit 220 that cooperates with it can be a piercing tube 225.
[0044] In some embodiments of this application, the drive unit 210 includes a crank gear assembly 211, and the needle assembly 221 includes a rotary drill bit 222; the crank gear assembly 211 drives the needle assembly 221 to reciprocate by rotating, so as to drive the rotary drill bit 222 to move closer to or away from the surface of the rubber tree.
[0045] like Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the drive unit 210 includes a crank gear assembly 211, which drives the movement of the entire system by rotating to drive the needle assembly 221. The needle assembly 221 includes a rotating drill 222 capable of reciprocating motion, allowing it to move flexibly towards or away from the rubber tree surface. When the crank gear assembly 211 rotates, it drives the needle assembly 221 to reciprocate, thereby controlling the depth of the rotating drill 222 and precisely performing the needle-piercing operation.
[0046] The crank-gear assembly 211 effectively converts rotary motion into reciprocating motion, improving drive efficiency. This mechanism ensures that the rotary drill bit 222 operates flexibly and responsively, adapting to different working conditions. Control of the rotary drill bit 222's movement near or away from the rubber tree surface enables precise piercing, reducing damage to the rubber tree, ensuring tree health, and thus extending the tree's lifespan. Precise control of the drill bit's movement reduces the risk of accidents caused by improper operation, such as drilling too deep or causing severe damage to the bark.
[0047] like Figure 8 As shown, the crank gear assembly 211 further includes a ring gear 214, a crank 215 and a connecting rod 216. The crank 215 moves circumferentially around the ring gear 214, thereby driving the connecting rod 216 to reciprocate. The needle assembly 221, which is connected to the connecting rod 216, also reciprocates. Under these conditions, the needle assembly 221 moves closer to or further away from the surface of the rubber tree.
[0048] In some embodiments of this application, the transmission unit 220 further includes a chuck 223 for connecting the rotary drill bit 222. The chuck 223 is provided with a drive gear 224. The drive gear 224 is connected to the crank gear assembly 211 to drive the rotary drill bit 222 to rotate.
[0049] like Figure 8As shown, the chuck 223 is used to fix the rotating drill bit 222, ensuring the stability and reliability of the rotating drill bit 222 during operation. The drive gear 224, through its transmission connection with the crank gear assembly 211, converts the motion of the crank assembly into a drive for the chuck 223, thereby driving the rotating drill bit 222 to rotate. Driven by the drive gear 224, the rotating drill bit 222 can achieve rapid and effective rotation during needle piercing, increasing its piercing capability.
[0050] like Figure 9 As shown, further, the crank gear assembly 211 has a first connecting rod gear section 217 and a second connecting rod gear section 218 at both ends of the connecting rod 216, and the first connecting rod gear section 217 and the second connecting rod gear section 218 are connected in transmission. The first connecting rod gear section 217 meshes with the ring gear 214 to move so that the crank 215 rotates around the ring gear 214. The drive gear 224 provided on the chuck 223 can mesh with the second connecting rod gear section 218. When the first connecting rod gear section 217 rotates, it drives the second connecting rod gear section 218 to rotate. At this time, the drive gear 224 will also rotate. One end of the rotary drill bit 222 is connected to the chuck 223, and when the drive gear 224 rotates, the rotary drill bit 222 will rotate at the same time. In general, the drive gear 224 assembly works in conjunction with the chuck 223 and the rotary drill bit 222. The drive gear 224 assembly not only drives the rotary drill bit 222 to perform reciprocating linear motion, but also drives the rotary drill bit 222 to rotate to achieve the needle-punching operation.
[0051] In some embodiments of this application, the drive unit 210 includes an energy storage and release component 212, and the needle assembly 221 includes a piercing tube 225. The energy storage and release component 212 drives the needle assembly 221 to reciprocate to accumulate or release elastic potential energy. When the energy storage and release component 212 pulls the piercing tube 225 away from the rubber tree, the energy storage and release component 212 accumulates elastic potential energy. When the energy storage and release component 212 pushes the piercing tube 225 closer to the rubber tree, the energy storage and release component 212 releases elastic potential energy.
[0052] like Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the energy storage and release component 212 controls the movement of the needle assembly 221, and can accumulate and release elastic potential energy mechanically. The needle tube 225, as the needle assembly 221, makes instantaneous contact with the surface of the rubber tree through its movement, thereby achieving the needle-piercing operation. When the energy storage and release component 212 pulls the needle tube 225 away from the rubber tree, the component accumulates elastic potential energy; conversely, when the energy storage and release component 212 pushes the needle tube 225 closer to the rubber tree, the released elastic potential energy causes the needle tube 225 to quickly pierce the surface of the rubber tree, thus enabling effective latex harvesting.
[0053] The energy storage and release component 212 improves energy utilization efficiency by accumulating elastic potential energy, effectively converting stored energy into mechanical motion and enhancing rubber tapping power. Because the energy storage and release component 212 can automatically control the reciprocating motion of the piercing needle component 221, it reduces fatigue caused by prolonged manual operation. Precise control of the piercing tube 225 effectively reduces damage to the rubber tree, preventing excessive piercing that could cause physiological damage and promoting the tree's continued healthy growth. The design of the energy storage and release component 212 simplifies the overall mechanical structure, making the equipment easier to maintain and operate, while also reducing manufacturing costs.
[0054] Furthermore, the energy storage and release component 212 can store energy through a spring, gas pressure, or hydraulic system, and then release the stored energy at an appropriate time, thereby prompting the piercing tube 225 to perform a needle-piercing operation on the rubber tree.
[0055] In some embodiments of this application, the transmission unit 220 further includes a slider 226 for cooperating with the energy storage and release component 212, which is provided with a slide rail 213. When the energy storage and release component 212 is in a state of accumulating elastic potential energy, the slider 226 moves relative to the slide rail 213. When the energy storage and release component 212 is in a state of releasing elastic potential energy, the slider 226 disengages from the slide rail 213.
[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, the slider 226 in the transmission unit 220 is used to cooperate with the slide rail 213 of the energy storage and release assembly 212. Specifically, the slide rail 213 provides a guide path, allowing the slider 226 to slide relative to it. When the energy storage and release assembly 212 is in the state of accumulating elastic potential energy, relative movement occurs between the slider 226 and the slide rail 213. This process allows the system to store elastic potential energy, preparing for subsequent operations. Once the energy storage and release assembly 212 switches to the state of releasing elastic potential energy, the slider 226 will disengage from the slide rail 213. This disengagement action indicates that the system has released the stored energy, driving the subsequent actions.
[0057] Through the design of the slider 226 and the slide rail 213, the energy storage and release component 212 can more effectively store and release elastic potential energy, improving the energy conversion efficiency of the entire system. By optimizing the cooperation between the slider 226 and the slide rail 213, friction and wear between mechanical parts are reduced, thereby reducing equipment maintenance requirements and costs, and extending service life. The design of this invention makes the energy storage and release component 212 accumulate and release elastic potential energy more smoothly, thereby improving the overall efficiency of rubber collection and shortening operation time.
[0058] Preferably, the slider 226 can be designed as a roller structure, so as to convert sliding friction into rolling friction, thereby reducing transmission resistance.
[0059] Preferably, the energy storage and release component 212 is provided with a slide rail 213, which is configured as a spiral trajectory structure. The transmission part 220 is provided with a slider 226, which moves relative to the slide rail 213. As the energy storage and release component 212 rotates, the slider 226 slides in the opposite direction, thereby driving the transmission part 220 to rise. At this time, the energy storage and release component 212 is in a state of accumulating elastic potential energy. When the slider 226 reaches the end position of the slide rail 213, that is, the highest point of the slide rail 213, the transmission part 220 obtains the maximum elastic potential energy. At this time, the energy storage and release component 212 continues to rotate, so that the slider 226 reaches the initial position of the slide rail 213, that is, the lowest point of the slide rail 213. The energy accumulated by the transmission part 220 is released, further driving the piercing tube 225 to complete the needle piercing operation.
[0060] like Figure 11 As shown, it should be noted that the wire lowering mechanism 400 is provided with an elastic element 440. One end of the elastic element 440 is fixed to the lifting assembly 410, and the other end is fixed to the surface of the mounting part 110. When the lifting assembly 410 moves upward, the elastic element 440 is in a stretched state, thereby generating and accumulating elastic potential energy. When the lifting assembly 410 moves downward, the elastic element 440 is compressed instantaneously, and the released elastic potential energy provides a large needle-piercing force for the needle tube 225, thereby ensuring that the needle tube 225 can complete the needle-piercing action at a high speed.
[0061] In some embodiments of this application, the device further includes a wire-dropping mechanism 400, which includes a lifting assembly 410 and a ratchet 420 that is hygienically connected to the walking mechanism 300. The lifting assembly 410 is provided with a pawl 411 that cooperates with the ratchet 420. The lifting assembly 410 is hygienically connected to the needle-punching mechanism 200 and the walking mechanism 300 respectively. In step S20, when the needle-punching mechanism 200 moves to the trigger position in the first direction or moves to the trigger position in the second direction, the walking mechanism 300 starts to move along the displacement direction of the guide rail frame 100 to drive the needle-punching mechanism 200 to move along the rubber tree. Specifically, when the needle-punching mechanism 200 moves to the trigger position in the first direction or moves to the trigger position in the second direction, the pawl 411 actuates the ratchet 420, and the walking mechanism 300 starts to move along the displacement direction of the guide rail frame 100 to drive the needle-punching mechanism 200 to move along the surface of the rubber tree.
[0062] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, the device integrates a wire-dropping mechanism 400, which consists of a lifting assembly 410 and a ratchet 420 that is driven by the traveling mechanism 300. The lifting assembly 410 has a pawl 411 that cooperates with the ratchet 420. The lifting assembly 410 is also driven by the needle-piercing mechanism 200 and the traveling mechanism 300. After the needle-piercing mechanism 200 reaches the target needle-piercing point and completes the needle-piercing operation, it moves away from the rubber tree surface. After the needle-piercing mechanism 200 has moved a set distance, the pawl 411 on the lifting assembly 410 actuates the ratchet 420. The rotation of the ratchet 420 then triggers the movement of the traveling mechanism 300. The traveling mechanism 300 begins to move along the displacement direction of the guide rail frame 100, driving the needle-piercing mechanism 200 to continue moving along the rubber tree surface to the next needle-piercing position.
[0063] Through the design of the wire lowering mechanism 400, the needle punching mechanism 200 can quickly move to the next target position after completing each needle punching operation, preparing for the next operation. The cooperation between the pawl 411 and ratchet 420 of the wire lowering mechanism 400 automates the mechanical transmission, reducing the need for manual intervention and alleviating labor intensity. The coordinated movement of the lifting assembly 410 and the traveling mechanism 300 allows for more precise control of the movement trajectory of the needle punching mechanism 200, ensuring effective latex harvesting from the rubber tree surface without causing excessive damage to the tree. This design makes the transmission process between the lifting assembly 410 and the traveling mechanism 300 smoother, reducing friction and vibration, thereby reducing equipment wear and extending its service life.
[0064] like Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, further, when the walking mechanism 300 is not equipped with a drive motor, the lifting assembly 410 drives the walking mechanism 300 to move along the guide rail frame 100 through lifting and lowering movements. Specifically, a transmission gear 600 is provided between the needle-punching mechanism 200 and the walking mechanism 300. The rotation of the ratchet 420 can drive the transmission gear 600 to rotate, and the transmission gear 600 will further drive the walking mechanism 300 to move along the guide rail frame 100. Among them, when the drive unit 210 is equipped with a crank gear assembly 211, the lifting assembly 410 is fixedly connected to the chuck 223. The lifting assembly 410 and the chuck 223 simultaneously perform rising or falling movements according to the movement of the crank gear assembly 211. The pawl 411 provided on the lifting assembly 410 will push the ratchet 420 to rotate. When the drive unit 210 is equipped with the energy storage and release component 212, the slider 226 fixedly connected to the lifting component 410 moves relative to the slide rail 213, and the lifting component 410 performs an upward or downward movement. The pawl 411 provided on the lifting component 410 will cause the ratchet 420 to rotate.
[0065] It should be noted that the ratchet 420 is a one-way gear. When the lifting assembly 410 rises, the pawl 411 moves the ratchet 420. When the lifting assembly 410 falls, the pawl 411 does not contact the ratchet 420. This ensures that the entire needle-punching adhesive removal device will not move when the needle assembly 221 is performing needle-punching operations. After completing the needle-punching operation, the needle assembly 221 retracts and continues to move to the next position.
[0066] In some embodiments of this application, the device further includes a wire-dropping mechanism 400 and a sensor 500. The wire-dropping mechanism 400 includes a lifting assembly 410 and a positioning member 430 disposed on the lifting assembly 410. The sensor 500 and the positioning member 430 cooperate with each other to position the lifting assembly 410. In step S20, when the needle-piercing mechanism 200 moves to the trigger position in the first direction or moves to the trigger position in the second direction, the walking mechanism 300 starts to move along the displacement direction of the guide rail frame 100 to drive the needle-piercing mechanism 200 to move along the rubber tree. Specifically, when the needle-piercing mechanism 200 moves to the trigger position in the first direction or moves to the trigger position in the second direction, the sensor 500 obtains the position of the needle-piercing mechanism 200 and transmits the sensing signal to the walking mechanism 300. After receiving the sensing signal, the walking mechanism 300 starts to move along the displacement direction of the guide rail frame 100 to drive the needle-piercing mechanism 200 to move along the surface of the rubber tree.
[0067] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the needle-punching mechanism 200 first reaches the target needle-punching point and completes the needle-punching operation. After the operation is completed, the needle-punching mechanism 200 moves away from the surface of the rubber tree. After the needle-punching mechanism 200 moves a certain distance, the sensor 500 obtains its current position and generates a sensing signal. After receiving the sensing signal sent by the sensor 500, the walking mechanism 300 immediately begins to move along the displacement direction of the guide rail frame 100, thereby driving the needle-punching mechanism 200 to make a new movement on the surface of the rubber tree, in preparation for the next operation.
[0068] Through the cooperation of sensor 500 and positioning component 430, precise positioning of lifting component 410 can be achieved, thereby improving the working accuracy of needle-piercing mechanism 200 and ensuring that each needle piercing is performed at the predetermined target position. Sensor 500 can provide real-time feedback on the position of needle-piercing mechanism 200, ensuring that traveling mechanism 300 responds quickly and moves to the next target position, reducing the waiting time between needle-piercing mechanism 200 and traveling mechanism 300, thereby improving overall work efficiency. The automated positioning and signal transmission design reduces the need for manual adjustments by operators during equipment operation, reduces labor intensity, and improves operational safety.
[0069] Furthermore, when the walking mechanism 300 is equipped with a drive motor, the lifting assembly 410 drives the walking mechanism 300 to move along the guide rail frame 100 through lifting motion and the sensing signal obtained by the sensor 500. Specifically, when the drive unit 210 is equipped with a crank gear assembly 211 or an energy storage and release assembly 212, a sensor 500 is provided between the needle-piercing mechanism 200 and the walking mechanism 300, and a sensing element is provided on the lifting assembly 410. When the lifting assembly 410 moves up and down, the sensor 500 matches with the sensing element, thereby knowing the position of the lifting assembly 410. Based on this signal, the walking mechanism 300 begins to move forward. Specifically, after the needle-piercing action is completed, when the lifting assembly 410 begins to rise and reaches the set position, the sensor 500 obtains a matching signal. Based on this signal, the walking mechanism 300 causes the motor to work, and then drives the walking mechanism 300 to move forward. It should be noted that the walking mechanism 300 can only begin to move after the needle assembly 221 retracts and leaves the rubber tree.
[0070] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, when the drive unit 210 is selected as the energy storage and release component 212, the guide rail frame 100 is provided with a mounting part 110 to fix the lifting component 410. The lower end of the lifting component 410 is fixedly connected to the piercing tube 225. A slag pusher 414 is provided inside the cavity of the lifting component 410. A limiting member 413 is provided at the end of the slag pusher 414 away from the piercing tube 225. A fixing hole 111 is provided on the mounting part 110 at a position corresponding to the limiting member 413. The limiting member 413 is embedded in the fixing hole 111 to fix the slag pusher 414. When the lifting component 410 rises, since the slag pusher 414 remains stationary while the piercing tube 225 moves upward, the slag pusher 414 will enter the cavity of the piercing tube 225, causing the debris generated during the needle-piercing operation to be pushed out of the piercing tube 225, thus avoiding the impact of clogged debris on subsequent needle-piercing operations.
[0071] It should be noted that when the limiting member 413 abuts against the lowest position of the guide part 412, at least a portion of the slag pusher 414 can extend beyond the outside of the barbed tube 225 to ensure the best slag pushing effect. The size of the slag pusher 414 needs to be smaller than the hollow size of the barbed tube 225 to ensure that the slag pusher 414 can smoothly enter the interior of the barbed tube 225.
[0072] In some embodiments of this application, the walking mechanism 300 includes a clutch 310; after the needle puncture mechanism 200 completes the needle puncture operation along the guide rail frame 100, the clutch 310 is unlocked to stop the transmission between the walking mechanism 300 and the needle puncture mechanism 200, and then the needle puncture mechanism 200 is adjusted and reset.
[0073] like Figure 5 , Figure 7As shown, the needle-punching mechanism 200 completes the needle-punching operation along the guide rail frame 100, ensuring effective latex harvesting on the surface of the rubber tree. After the needle-punching operation is completed, the clutch 310 of the traveling mechanism 300 is unlocked to stop the transmission connection between the traveling mechanism 300 and the needle-punching mechanism 200. Once the transmission is stopped, the needle-punching mechanism 200 will perform necessary adjustments and resets to prepare for the needle-punching operation on the next rubber tree.
[0074] The unlocking function of the clutch 310 ensures that the acupuncture mechanism 200 is no longer driven by the traveling mechanism 300 after the acupuncture operation is completed, thus avoiding operational instability caused by accidental movement and ensuring the safety and accuracy of the adjustment process. By unlocking the clutch 310, operators can easily adjust and maintain the acupuncture mechanism 200 without worrying about interference from the traveling mechanism 300, improving the ease of operation of the equipment. This design allows for quick reset after the acupuncture operation is completed, greatly shortening the time for the acupuncture mechanism 200 to prepare for the next round of operation, thereby improving overall operational efficiency.
[0075] Furthermore, the traveling mechanism 300 is provided with a first traveling gear and a second traveling gear. The first traveling gear is used for transmission connection with the needle-punching mechanism 200, and the second traveling gear is used for mutual engagement with the teeth of the guide rail frame 100 to ensure that the entire needle-punching adhesive-taking device moves along the guide rail frame 100. When the clutch part 310 is locked, the first traveling gear is connected to the needle-punching mechanism 200; when the clutch part 310 is unlocked, the transmission connection between the first traveling gear and the needle-punching mechanism 200 is disengaged.
[0076] An embodiment of the present invention also provides a needle-punching adhesive extraction device, which employs the method described above.
[0077] An embodiment of the present invention provides a needle-punching rubber extraction device, including key components such as a needle-punching mechanism 200, a traveling mechanism 300, a wire-lowering mechanism 400, and a clutch 310. The needle-punching mechanism 200 is responsible for needle-punching the surface of the rubber tree to extract rubber. The traveling mechanism 300 is connected to the needle-punching mechanism 200 and can move along the guide rail frame 100 to facilitate multi-point rubber extraction on the surface of the rubber tree. The wire-lowering mechanism 400 includes a lifting component 410 and a sensor 500, which is responsible for positioning and height adjustment of the needle-punching mechanism 200 to ensure accurate needle-punching depth and position. The clutch 310 is integrated into the traveling mechanism 300 and can stop the transmission between the traveling mechanism 300 and the needle-punching mechanism 200 after the needle-punching operation is completed, which facilitates the adjustment and reset of the needle-punching mechanism 200.
[0078] Among them, the needle-punching adhesive extraction device equipped with an energy storage and release component 212 can be driven by a walking mechanism 300 with or without a motor; the needle-punching adhesive extraction device equipped with a crank gear component 211 can be driven by a walking mechanism 300 through the transmission between the needle-punching mechanism 200 and the wire-dropping mechanism 400.
[0079] The needle-punching rubber extraction device improves overall rubber extraction efficiency by coordinating various components. The positioning mechanism of the wire-dropping mechanism 400 and the feedback mechanism of the traveling mechanism 300 ensure precise depth and position of each needle puncture, thereby reducing rubber loss and ensuring extraction quality. The design of the sensor 500 and clutch 310 promotes automation and intelligence of the equipment, making the operation more efficient and simpler, reducing reliance on manual intervention. Locking the clutch 310 effectively prevents accidental movement during adjustment and reset, reducing operator safety risks and improving overall operational safety.
