Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a modular yam planting and harvesting machine, belonging to the field of agricultural machinery technology. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese yam, an important traditional Chinese medicine, is used both as food and medicine. It has the effects of strengthening the spleen and stomach, benefiting the lungs and relieving cough, moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements, and lowering blood lipids. In order to improve efficiency, mechanical equipment is needed for the industrialized cultivation of Chinese yam.

[0003] The current yam planting machinery and equipment, as disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN202232154U, involves drilling into and vibrating the soil to loosen it, followed by manual harvesting of the yams. Although this can provide auxiliary work and reduce labor intensity during yam harvesting, the problem of manual drilling still exists for the yam planting mode of drilling holes and bagging. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a modular yam planting and harvesting machine.

[0005] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions.

[0006] The present invention provides a modular yam planting and harvesting machine, comprising: a modular yam planting and harvesting machine that realizes drilling and harvesting grabbing.

[0007] It includes: a drill claw module integrating drilling and harvesting; the drill claw module includes a drill bit for drilling holes in the planting soil and a claw arm for harvesting yam.

[0008] It also includes a main body with wheels at the bottom for rolling movement, and the drill bit module is installed on the middle of the main body, which can be raised, lowered and lowered and moved horizontally.

[0009] The main vehicle body is equipped with a planting module and a harvesting module.

[0010] The planting module includes a mounting frame for fixed installation on the main vehicle body; the mounting frame is equipped with a material cylinder for placing yam tubers, a sawdust cone for placing sawdust, and a bagging cylinder for placing bags.

[0011] The drill bit module also includes an upper platform for connection during installation;

[0012] A lower platform is fixedly installed below the upper platform via connecting shaft A and gear buckles at intervals. An adjustment platform is installed between the lower platform and the upper platform, with space between the adjustment platform and both the lower and upper platforms.

[0013] A power motor is fixedly installed on the upper platform via connecting shaft A. A transmission screw is installed on the rotating output end of the power motor. The transmission screw extends downward from the through hole space in the middle of the upper and lower platforms and is detachably and fixedly installed with a drill bit, which is located inside the four claw arms. The adjustment platform has a threaded hole that engages with the transmission screw.

[0014] The adjustment platform is rotatably hinged to a boom rod, which is rotatably hinged to a claw arm. The claw arms are arranged in a four-circular array at intervals. The middle part of the claw arm is rotatably hinged to the lower platform via a connecting rod, and the lower part of the claw arm is suspended in the air for grasping yam.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: the power motor drives the drill bit on the transmission screw to rotate. At this time, the adjustment platform is pulled up by the rotation of the transmission screw. The upward pulling of the adjustment platform causes the four claw arms to expand outward. The drill claw module is lowered on the main body through the transmission module. The rotating drill bit drills holes in the planting soil, which solves the problem that manual drilling is still required in the yam planting mode of drilling and bagging.

[0016] The power motor drives the transmission screw to rotate in the opposite direction. At this time, the adjustment platform is pushed downward through the rotation of the transmission screw. The downward push of the adjustment platform causes the four claw arms to retract inward to grab the bag. The drilling claw module rises on the main body of the vehicle through the transmission module, and the four claw arms pull the yam out of the soil for harvesting. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below, but the scope of protection is not limited to what is described.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown.

[0026] This application discloses a modular yam planting and harvesting machine, comprising:

[0027] Main vehicle body 1, with wheels at the bottom of the main vehicle body 1 that allow it to roll and move;

[0028] A planting module 2 is installed on the left side of the main vehicle body 1. The planting module 2 is used to place sawdust, bags, and yam tubers.

[0029] The planting module 2 includes a fixing frame 110 for fixed installation on the main vehicle body 1; the fixing frame 110 is equipped with a material cylinder 108 for placing yam tubers, a sawdust cone 105 for placing sawdust, and a bagging cylinder 104 for placing bags.

[0030] A drill bit module 3, capable of vertical lifting and horizontal displacement, is installed on the middle of the main vehicle body 1. The drill bit module 3 can drill holes in the planting soil and harvest yams by pulling them out of the soil. A harvesting module 4 is installed on the right side of the main vehicle body 1.

[0031] After the main vehicle body 1 rolls into position in the planting soil environment, the drill bit module 3 descends on the main vehicle body 1 to drill holes in the soil. The sawdust from the planting module 2 fills the holes and a bag is placed inside. The yam tubers are placed at the opening of the holes. As the yam tubers sprout and grow, they extend into the holes from the through-hole in the middle of the bag. When harvesting the yam, the drill bit module 3 grabs the bag and rises on the main vehicle body 1. The bag, along with the yam, is lifted upwards from the holes in the soil, and the yam is pulled out in a plucked-out manner. Then, the drill bit module 3 moves horizontally to the harvesting module 4 for storage.

[0032] The drill bit module 3 includes an upper platform 506 for connecting to the transmission module during installation;

[0033] A lower platform 503 is fixedly installed below the upper platform 506 via a connecting shaft A509 and a gear buckle 507 at intervals. An adjustment platform 504 is installed between the lower platform 503 and the upper platform 506, and there is a gap between the adjustment platform 504 and both the lower platform 503 and the upper platform 506.

[0034] A power motor 508 is fixedly installed on the upper platform 506 via a connecting shaft A509. A transmission screw 510 is installed on the output end of the power motor 508. The transmission screw 510 extends downward from the through hole space in the middle of the upper platform 506 and the lower platform 503 and is detachably and fixedly installed with a drill bit 502. The drill bit 502 is located inside the four claw arms 501. The adjusting platform 504 has a threaded hole that engages with the transmission screw 510.

[0035] The adjustment platform 504 is rotatably hinged to a boom rod via a hinge 512, and the boom rod is rotatably hinged to a claw arm 501. The claw arm 501 is arranged in four circumferential arrays at intervals. The middle part of the claw arm 501 is rotatably hinged to the lower platform 503 via a connecting rod 513. The lower part of the claw arm 501 is suspended in the air for grasping yam.

[0036] When planting Chinese yam, the power motor 508 drives the drill bit 502 on the transmission screw 510 to rotate. At this time, the adjustment platform 504 is pulled up by the rotation of the transmission screw 510. The upward adjustment platform 504 causes the four claw arms 501 to expand outward. The drill claw module 3 is lowered on the main vehicle body 1 through the transmission module. The rotating drill bit 502 drills holes in the planting soil. Then, sawdust fills the holes and bags and Chinese yam tubers are placed in sequence. This solves the problem that manual drilling is still required in the planting mode of planting Chinese yam with holes and bags.

[0037] During the harvesting of Chinese yam, the power motor 508 drives the transmission screw 510 to rotate in the opposite direction. At this time, the adjustment platform 504 is pushed downward through the rotation of the transmission screw 510. The downward push of the adjustment platform 504 causes the four claw arms 501 to retract inward to grab the bag. The drill claw module 3 rises on the main vehicle body 1 through the transmission module, and the four claw arms 501 pull the Chinese yam out of the soil for harvesting.

[0038] The vertical lifting and horizontal displacement of the drill bit module 3 on the main body 1 are achieved by a transmission module consisting of a motor, a screw, and a screw sleeve. The motor drives the screw to rotate on the main body 1, carrying the screw sleeve in linear motion. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] The modular yam planting and harvesting machine of this application integrates drilling and harvesting on the drill claw module 3.

[0040] When the main vehicle body 1 arrives at the planting area, the claw arm 501 opens, and the drill bit 502 begins drilling. After reaching the designated depth, it stops rotating. The main vehicle body 1 rolls forward until the planting module 2 reaches the hole. The main vehicle body 1 stops, and sawdust flows into the hole from the sawdust cone 105. After filling the hole, a bag is placed on top, and the yam tuber falls onto the bag. Soil is then applied to complete the planting.

[0041] When the main vehicle 1 arrives at the harvesting area, it identifies the bag, and the claw arm 501 moves down, opens, grabs the bag, and then pulls it out of the ground. The root of the yam is moved to the harvesting module 4 and cut off. The bag and the yam fall into the storage bin respectively.
