Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fruit harvesting, and in particular to a fruit vibration harvesting device. Background Art

[0002] At present, the harvest of fruit trees in my country still relies on manual labor. However, the labor intensity of fruit harvesting is high and the seasonality is strong, which inevitably leads to an increase in labor costs, especially for the harvest of small economic fruits such as chestnuts, walnuts, roxburghii, blueberries, jujubes, and wolfberries. Therefore, mechanized harvesting of fruits is the key to improving harvesting efficiency and reducing labor intensity and operating costs. With the continuous development of agricultural mechanization and intelligent technology, vibration harvesting as an effective method for large-scale fruit harvesting has been widely studied by domestic and foreign scholars and has achieved some results and practical applications.

[0003] At present, crown vibration and trunk vibration are the two main vibration modes for vibration harvesting of fruits. Trunk vibration is mainly caused by the clamping device acting on the branches or trunks, which is an intermittent local vibration, while crown vibration is mainly caused by a number of vibration rods acting on the crown, which is a continuous regional vibration. Compared with trunk vibration, crown vibration can be operated continuously over a large area during the fruit harvesting process. Therefore, crown vibration has more advantages in high-efficiency and large-scale fruit harvesting. Therefore, vibration harvesting is one of the most effective ways to achieve large-scale and efficient fruit harvesting.

[0004] However, since vibration harvesting is used for mechanized harvesting of fruits for processing, and some fruits fall from too high a height, they are easily damaged by collision and cannot be harvested as fresh fruits. Summary of the invention

During harvesting, the upper part of the fruit tree and the lower part of the fruit can fall on the first harvesting mechanism and the second harvesting mechanism respectively for cushioning, thereby reducing the damage to the fruit due to the impact force and improving the quality after picking, so that the fruit can not only be used as processed fruit, but also can be used as fresh fruit, etc.

A vibration structure is arranged in the frame, which is used to vibrate the fruit tree so that the fruit on the fruit tree can be vibrated off. The first harvesting mechanism 300 and the second harvesting mechanism 400 are symmetrically arranged in the frame, and are used to harvest the fruit in multiple layers, so that the fruit on the upper and lower parts of the fruit tree can be harvested separately, reducing the damage to the fruit tree.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 3-7 and Fig.10 As shown, the vibration structure 500 is arranged on the side of the base 10 facing the fruit tree, and one or two vibration structures 500 can be arranged on the base 10 to improve the vibration effect on the fruit tree. Preferably, there are two vibration structures 500, and the two vibration structures 500 have the same structure and are arranged on the connecting plate 11, so that both sides of the fruit tree can be vibrated to improve the vibration effect.

[0060] In this embodiment, one of the vibration structures 500 is taken as an example for description as follows:

[0061] The vibration structure 500 includes a first driving member 510, a second driving member 520 and an actuator 530. The first driving member 510 and the second driving member 520 are arranged on the same side of the frame, and are used to drive the actuator 530 to move on the frame. The actuator 530 is assembled on the first driving member 510 and the second driving member 520, and is used to vibrate the fruit tree.

[0062] In this embodiment, if Figure 3-7 As shown, the first driving member 510 includes a fourth power source 511, a first threaded rod 512 and a first sliding block 513. A first sliding groove is provided on the connecting plate 11, and both ends of the first threaded rod 512 are rotatably mounted in the first sliding groove. The output shaft of the fourth power source 511 is fixedly connected to one end of the first threaded rod 512 through a coupling, and the first sliding block 513 is screwed on the first threaded rod 512, so that the fourth power source 511 can drive the first threaded rod 512 to rotate when working, thereby driving the first sliding block 513 to move along the first threaded rod 512.

[0063] In this embodiment, the second driving member 520 includes a fifth power source 521, a second threaded rod 522, and a second sliding block 523. A second sliding groove is provided on the connecting plate 11, and both ends of the second threaded rod 522 are rotatably mounted in the second sliding groove. The output shaft of the fifth power source 521 is fixedly connected to one end of the second threaded rod 522 through a coupling, and the second sliding block 523 is screwed on the second threaded rod 522, so that the fifth power source 521 can drive the second threaded rod 522 to rotate when working, thereby driving the second sliding block 523 to move along the second threaded rod 522.

[0064] In this embodiment, the first sliding block 513 is a rectangular parallelepiped, and cooperates with the concave first sliding groove, so that the first sliding block 513 can move along the first threaded rod 512. The second sliding block 523 is a rectangular parallelepiped, and cooperates with the concave second sliding groove, so that the second sliding block 523 can move along the second threaded rod 522. In actual situations, the first sliding block 513 can be moved along the first threaded rod 512 and the second sliding block 523 can be moved along the second threaded rod 522 by respectively providing guide rods.

[0065] In this embodiment, if Fig.10 As shown, the actuator 530 includes a first telescopic member 514, a first connecting seat 515, a sleeve 524, a sixth power source 525, a second telescopic member 526, a second connecting seat 527 and a clamping claw 528. One end of the first telescopic member 514 is fixedly connected to the first sliding block 513, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first connecting seat 515 by bolts. The first connecting seat 515 is hinged to the sleeve 524, and is used to drive the sleeve 524 to swing up and down when the first telescopic member 514 works. The sleeve 524 is movably mounted on the second sliding block 523, so that the sleeve 524 can swing up and down to adapt to the main trunk of the fruit tree in different positions.

The second connecting seat 527 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second telescopic member 526 by bolts, and the clamping claw 528 is assembled on the second connecting seat 527, so that the second telescopic member 526 can drive the clamping claw 528 to move, thereby adapting to the main trunk of the fruit tree in different positions.

[0067] In this embodiment, the clamping jaw 528 is an electric clamping jaw that can automatically clamp the trunk of the fruit tree. In order to reduce damage to the trunk of the fruit tree, the inner side of the clamping jaw 528 is covered with an elastic gasket 529.

[0068] In this embodiment, when it moves to the fruit tree, the fourth power source 511 and the fifth power source 521 are used to drive the clamp 528 to move to a suitable position, and then the first telescopic member 514 is used to adjust the up and down amplitude of the clamp 528, and the sixth power source 525 is used to adjust the angle of the clamp 528, so that the electric clamp can clamp the trunk of the fruit tree at different positions, and then the second telescopic member 526 is used to shake the fruit tree to vibrate the fruit tree, causing the fruit to fall off and enter the first harvesting mechanism 300 and / or the second harvesting mechanism 400.

One end of the torsion spring 313 is connected to the base 10, and the other end is connected to the bottom of the plate-like portion 311, so that the collecting plate can be reset after rotation.

[0073] In order to reduce the impact damage caused by fruits falling on the collecting plate, the plate-like portion 311 of each collecting plate can be coated with a flexible material. The flexible material can be wear-resistant, elastic plastic, rubber, canvas, foam, etc., or a suitable flexible material can be selected for coating according to actual conditions.

[0074] In order to adjust the inclination angle of the collecting plate to adapt to different terrains and different fruit trees, the rotating part 312 can also be set to be able to rotate up and down. At this time, the torsion spring 313 needs to be released from the connection with the base 10.

The output shaft of the first power source 324 is fixedly connected to one of the first rotating shafts 322, and is used to drive the first rotating shaft 322 to rotate, thereby driving the first transmission belt 321 to rotate.

[0076] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 11 is provided with a first blocking net 325 on one side of the first conveyor belt 321 to prevent the fruit from colliding with the connecting plate 11, so as to further reduce the damage to the fruit trees.

The output shaft of the third power source 422 is fixedly connected to one of the second rotating shafts 423, and the second transmission belt 421 is tensioned on the two second rotating shafts 423, so that when the third power source 422 is working, it can drive the second rotating shaft 423 to rotate, thereby driving the second transmission belt 421 to rotate, and the fruits dropped on the second transmission belt 421 are transported.

[0084] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the top seat 12 has a second opening 104 on one side of the second mounting groove 102, and a storage box 700 can also be installed at the second opening 104 to store the fruits on the second conveyor belt 421. In order to reduce the use of the storage box 700, only one storage box 700 can be set on the same side of the first harvesting mechanism 300 and the second harvesting mechanism 400. The storage box 700 is set on the base 10, and the second opening 104 is connected to the storage box 700 through a canvas, so that the fruits passing through the second opening 104 can enter the storage box 700.

[0085] In some embodiments, a weight sensor may be provided in the storage box 700, and the weight sensor is connected to a display screen in the harvesting vehicle so that the fruits in the storage box 700 can be taken out or the storage box 700 can be replaced in time.

[0086] In this embodiment, the top seat 12 is provided with second ear plates 424 on both sides of the second mounting groove 102 , and the free ends of the two second rotating shafts 423 are rotatably connected to the second ear plates 424 , respectively.

[0087] In this embodiment, if Figure 5-6 As shown, a second connecting belt 430 is arranged between the second collecting structure 410 and the second transmission structure 420. One end of the second connecting belt 430 is connected to the second collecting structure 410, and the other end is connected to the second transmission structure 420, so that the fruit can smoothly enter the second transmission belt 421, thereby further reducing the damage to the fruit trees.

[0088] In this embodiment, the top seat 12 is provided with a second blocking net 425 on one side of the second conveyor belt 421 to prevent the fruits from colliding with the ceiling 200 and damaging the fruits.

[0089] In this embodiment, the front end of the second connecting belt 430 is connected to the bottom of the flexible channel 413, and the rear end is overlapped with the upper end surface of the second conveyor belt 421, so that the fruit can smoothly enter the second conveyor belt 421, further reducing damage to the fruit. The left and right ends of the second connecting belt 430 are respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the second installation groove 102, so that the second connecting belt 430 can be stably installed.

[0090] In this embodiment, the first power source 324, the second power source 416, the third power source 422, the fourth power source 511, the fifth power source 521, and the sixth power source 525 can all be set as servo motors, reduction motors, etc., and suitable motors can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0091] In this embodiment, the second connecting belt 430 is made of a flexible material, such as rubber material, silicone material, etc., and can be selected according to actual conditions to further reduce damage to the fruit.

[0092] In some embodiments, the second harvesting mechanism 400 can be set to one or more, and can be selected according to actual conditions to adapt to fruit trees of different heights.

[0093] Taking the citrus trees in a certain place as an example, it was found that the highest fruit of the citrus tree was more than 1.8 meters above the ground. Direct vibration harvesting at this distance would cause serious damage to the fruit, and the fruits harvested in this way would basically be used as raw materials for secondary processing of citrus products, and the elimination rate would be very high when the raw materials entered the screening stage. By setting up a second harvesting mechanism 400, the height at which the highest fruit fell to the second harvesting mechanism 400 was less than or equal to 0.5m, which could greatly reduce the damage to the citrus, so that the citrus can not only be used as processed fruit, but also can be directly sold as fresh fruit.
