Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of sugarcane stem identification and conveying equipment, and in particular relates to an intelligent sugarcane stem identification and conveying mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Sugarcane in production generally uses seed stems for asexual reproduction, that is, the sugarcane stems are cut into single-bud segments or double-bud segments before soaking and planting. At present, the processing of healthy sugarcane seed stems has changed from manual cutting to mechanical cutting. The use of sugarcane seed cutters for mechanized cutting of seed stems can make the section of the sugarcane seed stems neat and ensure the cutting quality of the seed stems.

[0003] There are two main feeding methods for existing sugarcane seed cutters. One type of sugarcane seed cutter is to manually put sugarcane, that is, manually put the sugarcane seed stems on the seed cutter and move them before cutting. This manual feeding method is relatively labor-intensive, and a sugarcane seed stem production line requires more than 20 people. Another type is to transport the sugarcane to the cutter of the seed cutter through a conveyor belt for cutting. This conveyor belt feeding method can reduce labor, but the conveying distance is long, and there are more clamping parts, which can easily damage the bud nodes of the sugarcane seed stems. In addition, these two feeding methods can basically only achieve blind cutting of sugarcane seed stems, that is, they cannot intelligently identify the bud nodes of the sugarcane seed stems, and cannot guarantee that each section of the cut sugarcane seed stem contains the bud node. Sometimes, the bud node may even be cut to cause damage to the bud, or the cutting position is close to the bud node, affecting the planting quality of sugarcane. Summary of the invention

[0034] Example 1

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a sugarcane seed stem intelligent identification and conveying mechanism includes a frame 1, a sugarcane trough 2, a conveying device 3, an identification device 4 and a control device 5. The conveying device 3 is provided at one end of the sugarcane trough, and the identification device 4 is provided above the output end of the conveying device 3. The conveying device 3 and the identification device 4 are electrically connected to the control device 5 respectively; the sugarcane trough 2 is used to place sugarcane stems; the conveying device 3 is used to clamp and convey sugarcane stems; the identification device 4 is used to identify sugarcane buds; and the control device 5 is used to receive and process the signal of the identification device 4 and control the operation of the conveying device 3. When in use, the control device 5 controls the conveying device 3 to stop conveying the sugarcane seed stems after identifying a set number of sugarcane bud nodes, and continues to convey after the sugarcane seed stems are cut, so that each section of the sugarcane seed stem cut by the sugarcane seed cutter contains the required number of sugarcane bud nodes, so as to better ensure the quality of the sugarcane seed stems. The problem that the existing conveying mechanism matched with the sugarcane seed cutter cannot intelligently identify the bud nodes and is easy to damage the sugarcane buds is solved.

[0036] Combined Figure 2 The conveying device 3 includes: a first conveying wheel 31 and a second conveying wheel 32 driven by a rotating motor 38, a slide rail 33, a first fixed frame 34, a second fixed frame 35, a pushing base 36 and a moving motor 37, and there are two groups of the first conveying wheel 31 and the second conveying wheel 32 respectively.

[0037] Specifically, the slide rail 33 is arranged horizontally and perpendicular to the extension direction of the sugarcane placing groove 2. The first fixed frame 34, the second fixed frame 35 and the pushing base 36 are slidably installed on the slide rail 33. The first conveying wheel 31 is installed on the first fixed frame 34 with a slider, and the second conveying wheel 32 is installed on the second fixed frame 35 with a slider. The pushing base 36 is provided with a vertical plate 361 with a screw hole, and the vertical plate 361 is connected to the second fixed frame 35 through a spring. The moving motor 37 is a rotary motor, and the output shaft of the moving motor 37 is a rotating screw rod. The rotating screw rod passes through the screw hole of the vertical plate 361. The rotating process of the rotating screw rod can drive the vertical plate 361 to move along the slide rail 33, thereby driving the second fixed frame 35 to move along the slide rail 33; the outer side of the first fixed frame 34 is fixed to the frame 1 through a spring. The first conveying wheel 31 and the second conveying wheel 32 are used to clamp the sugarcane and convey the sugarcane forward under the drive of the rotating motor 38. The first conveying wheel 31 and the second conveying wheel 32 are both connected to springs, and can be adaptively adjusted according to the size of the sugarcane stems to meet the conveying requirements of sugarcane stems of different sizes or different degrees of curvature. Furthermore, the mobile motor 37 is equipped with a current detection device, and the current detection device is electrically connected to the control device 5. When the mobile motor 37 drives the second fixed frame 35 to move and clamp the sugarcane, the current detection device detects that the current increases, and the control device 5 controls the mobile motor 37 to stop moving. At this time, the springs of the first fixed frame 34 and the second fixed frame 35 can also be adaptively adjusted according to the size and curvature of the sugarcane.

[0038] Specific, combined Figure 2 The rotating motor 38 is respectively installed on the outside of the first fixed frame 34 and the second fixed frame 35, and is respectively connected to the first conveying wheel 31 and the second conveying wheel 32 through a gear commutator, so as to drive the first conveying wheel 31 and the second conveying wheel 32 to rotate vertically. The tops of the first fixed frame 34 and the second fixed frame 35 are respectively provided with sugarcane guide plates 341, which are inclined from the outside to the inside and are used to guide sugarcane between the first conveying wheel 31 and the second conveying wheel 32. When in use, sugarcane can be transported from the sugarcane guide plates 341 from top to bottom between the first conveying wheel 31 and the second conveying wheel 32. Compared with the traditional method of inserting the sugarcane between the first conveying wheel 31 and the second conveying wheel 32 from the feed end, it is not easy to squeeze the sugarcane buds, and the distance that the sugarcane stems need to be transported is shorter.

[0039] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 3The first conveying wheel 31 and the second conveying wheel 32 are nylon wheels, and the outer peripheries of the first conveying wheel 31 and the second conveying wheel 32 are provided with concave-convex patterns. The interiors of the first conveying wheel 31 and the second conveying wheel 32 are in a grid shape with pores. That is, the first conveying wheel 31 and the second conveying wheel 32 have a certain elasticity and are not easy to pinch the sugarcane buds. At the same time, the outer peripheries of the first conveying wheel 31 and the second conveying wheel 32 are in a concave-convex pattern, which is not easy to slip, and is conducive to the transportation of sugarcane seed stems.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the recognition device 4 is an image recognition device 4, which can recognize sugarcane buds more efficiently and accurately through a large number of flower bud image training systems in the early stage, ensuring that each section of cut sugarcane seed stem has a set number of sugarcane buds, and better ensuring the emergence rate and sowing density. Preferably, a lighting device 6 is also provided on one side of the recognition device 4, which is more conducive to the work of the image recognition device 4.

[0041] Combination Figure 1 The sugarcane placing trough 2 is smooth and supported by smooth stainless steel, and is V-shaped with a large top and a small bottom, which is conducive to the placement of sugarcane.

[0042] When in use, the whole sugarcane stem is placed from top to bottom in the sugarcane placing groove 2, wherein the end of the sugarcane stem enters between the first conveying wheel 31 and the second conveying wheel 32 through the sugarcane guide plate 341. The control device controls the moving motor 37 to work, drives the second conveying wheel 32 to approach the first conveying wheel 31, and clamps the sugarcane stem. Then the control device controls the transfer motor to rotate, and the transfer motor drives the first conveying wheel 31 and the second conveying wheel 32 to rotate respectively, so as to convey the sugarcane stem forward. At the same time, the identification device 4 identifies the sugarcane buds on the sugarcane stem. When a set number of sugarcane buds are identified, the operation of the rotating motor 38 is suspended (or the operation of the electric motor is suspended after conveying forward a certain distance), and the rotating motor 38 is started again to continue conveying the sugarcane seed stem after the sugarcane seed cutter cuts the sugarcane seed stem. After cutting a sugarcane stem, the control device controls the moving motor 37 to reverse, and the second conveying wheel 32 moves to the end away from the first conveying wheel 31. When the sugarcane stem is put in again, the above clamping and conveying actions are repeated. The use of the present invention can ensure that each section of sugarcane seed stem cut by the sugarcane seed cutter has a set number of sugarcane buds, thereby better ensuring the quality of the sugarcane seed stem.

[0043] In summary, the present invention is provided with an identification device 4 and a conveying device 3 electrically connected to a control device 5. When in use, the control device 5 controls the conveying device 3 to stop conveying the sugarcane stalks after identifying a set number of sugarcane bud nodes, and continues conveying after the sugarcane stalks are cut, so that each section of the sugarcane stalks cut by the sugarcane seed cutter contains the required number of sugarcane bud nodes, thereby better ensuring the quality of the sugarcane stalks. Among them, the first conveying wheel 31 and the second conveying wheel 32 are both nylon wheels with certain pores, and are respectively connected to springs, and can be adaptively adjusted according to the size of the sugarcane stalks to meet the conveying requirements of sugarcane stalks of different sizes or different degrees of curvature, and are not easy to damage the sugarcane buds. .
