Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of agricultural machinery, and in particular relates to an electric tea harvesting vehicle suitable for hills. Background Art
[0002] Many existing tea gardens in my country have the following characteristics: First, they are built on mountains with small plots, complex terrain and steep slopes, and the site conditions are poor; second, the shape of the tea trees is not highly standardized; third, the mechanization of picking was not fully considered in the early stage of the garden construction, and the tea garden roads are rugged; fourth, in hilly and mountainous areas, due to the steep slopes and rugged and uneven roads, conventional driving agricultural machinery such as adjustable hilly and mountain tractors are prone to overturning and turning over on steep slopes, endangering the personal safety of the driver, and are not suitable for tea harvesting needs.
[0003] Limited by geographical conditions and traditional planting patterns, the mechanization level of tea gardens has been at a low level for a long time. On the one hand, the picking of famous and high-quality tea mainly relies on manual labor, which usually requires a large amount of labor input, of which the picking cost alone accounts for about 50% of the price of fresh leaves. However, on the one hand, with the decrease in the number of farmers and the intensification of the trend of population aging, the intensity of tea picking is high, the production efficiency is low, and the working environment is difficult, which makes many people unwilling to engage in tea picking; on the other hand, with the advancement of urbanization, young and middle-aged labor force gradually transfers to cities, and the reduction of agricultural labor force has a serious impact on the sustainable development of agriculture in remote mountainous areas. In view of the vast area of tea gardens in my country and the short fresh leaf picking cycle, there is an urgent need for mechanized harvesting of bulk tea to solve the problem of labor shortage. Research and development of remote control technology to control special agricultural machinery in hilly and mountainous areas, realize unmanned operation, and improve the safety of agricultural machinery operation in hilly and mountainous areas are of great significance to the improvement of the mechanization level of agricultural machinery in hilly and mountainous areas.
[0004] The main patents for agricultural mechanization in my country's tea industry include "A tea picking machine with high tea picking efficiency" application publication number CN104525470A; "A riding tea tree table mower and its use method" application publication number CN 112889512 A; "Tea tree table mower" application publication number CN 219555718 U; "A highly automated tea harvester" application publication number CN 216362633 U; "Tea tree cross-section arc-shaped cutting and harvesting mechanism and cutting and harvesting method" application publication number CN115211283 A; "A tea harvester" application publication number CN 115088476 A, among which "An automated tea harvester" application publication number CN 113243202 A also considers that the width of tea leaves varies from place to place, so an automated adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the width of the machine; but overall, these tea-related agricultural machinery and equipment are relatively more suitable for flat tea gardens, and the application effect in tea gardens in hilly areas of my country is not ideal. Therefore, it is of practical significance to develop tea harvesting machinery that can maintain a stable center of gravity when harvesting tea leaves in hilly tea gardens with a certain slope, can turn around on the spot on the narrow mechanized farming road in front of the tea garden, and has a certain degree of autonomous operation ability.

These inclination sensors detect the inclination angles corresponding to the slopes of the four sides of the electric tea harvester in the hilly area, and the transverse frame and the longitudinal frame are adjusted in length according to the change of this angle.
[0037] The inner longitudinal bracket 181 is a telescopic universal mechanism, which can automatically adjust its length following the adjustment of the outer longitudinal bracket. The upper balancing bracket 190 is a telescopic universal joint, which can automatically adjust its length following the adjustment of the outer longitudinal bracket and the transverse bracket 170. The length does not need to be calculated and adjusted by the adjustment mechanism.

The universal coupling can adjust the body and the steering bracket 110 when the electric tea harvester moves on a slope without generating stress on the external longitudinal bracket and the transverse bracket 170.
[0039] Each steering bracket 110 is equipped with a wheel steering bracket verticality detector 113 to detect the verticality of the steering bracket 110 in the longitudinal and lateral directions. The bracket vertical adjustment mechanism 140 adjusts the wheel and the steering bracket 110 in the lateral and longitudinal directions respectively to be vertical within a 0.5 degree error range.
[0040] Taking the longitudinal bracket 180 direction as an example, the pin center of the single-ear ball joint 171 is coaxial with the center of the rotation center opening of the fixed plate 141, the stepper motor 143 of the bracket vertical adjustment mechanism 140 is bolted to the rotating plate 142, the T-shaped rotating plate 142 and the bearing 147 embedded in the rotation center opening of the fixed plate 141 are interference fit, the driving gear 144 is meshed with the rotating ring gear 145, one end of the rotating ring gear 145 is welded and fixed to the longitudinal bracket 180, and the motor stepper motor 143 on the rotating plate 142 is linked when the square steel steering bracket 110 turns.
[0041] The electric control cabinet 400 is internally installed with a controller and a motor control circuit, a radio remote control receiver and a battery valve group 401 and its charging interface. The upper part of the electric control cabinet 400 is installed with an inclination sensor 403 for measuring and controlling the horizontal state of the load of the electric tea harvester. According to the terrain of the hills, the lifting height of the upper support lifting cylinder 130 in each square steel steering support 110 of the electric tea harvester is controlled by the leveling method of the geometric center point of the upper support structure. The electric tea harvester of this design can be used in tea gardens with steep hills less than 30° to ensure the level of the upper load.
[0042] The electric tea harvester is driven by a four-wheel independent drive hub motor, and the electric wheel 111 includes a hub motor, a tire, a rim, a hub, and a brake device. Each square steel steering bracket 110 is equipped with a bracket steering mechanism 120 to achieve four-wheel independent movement, so that the electric tea harvester can move in a straight line, a broken line, and an arc at a low speed of 3 km / h in the undulating tea fields, and can move forward, backward, move sideways, turn around on the spot, and other efficient and flexible operations in the agricultural environment of narrow mountain roads.

The harvesting vehicle adopts a wireless control integrated industrial wireless remote control console with wireless video to realize remote control operation. The camera 402 converts the optical signal into a video digital signal, and then transmits the video signal to the integrated industrial wireless remote control console 700 through the wireless remote control transceiver of the electric control cabinet 400. The video signal is displayed on the screen of the integrated industrial wireless remote control console 700, thereby realizing remote video remote control of the electric tea harvesting vehicle for tea harvesting.
[0044] A camera 402 and a laser radar 404 for detecting terrain are installed on the upper part of the electric control cabinet 400. The color of the tea trees in the strip tea garden is very different from the roads between the rows. The tea trees and the roads between the rows can actually be regarded as a structured road. The laser radar is used to obtain the three-dimensional information of the tea trees, and the road information on both sides of the row of tea trees is accurately obtained. The road detection information is converted into a solution of the road model to obtain the driving route of the electric tea harvesting vehicle. The touch screen or operation panel switch of the integrated industrial wireless remote control console is set to autonomous operation, which can realize the remote control of the vehicle and slow autonomous operation in the small roads between the tea gardens.
[0045] Due to the terrain or in order to make full use of the mountainous areas for growing tea, hilly tea gardens often have only one end of the tea field with a mechanized farming road. The electric tea harvester can adopt different operation strategies according to the conditions of the mechanized farming roads at both ends of the tea field. When there is only a mechanized farming road at the head of the tea field, the rotary electric cylinder 410 welded on the fixed bracket 409 on the electric control cabinet 400 rotates 180°, driving the camera 402 and the laser radar 404 bolted on the rotating bracket 411 to rotate 180°, stopping the crown cutting mechanism 200, the tree body cutting mechanism 210 and the air compressor 500 from running, and controlling the electric wheels 111 of the electric tea harvester to run in the reverse direction at a relatively fast speed of 6 km / h, so that the vehicle can autonomously run to the head of the tea field and get on the mechanized farming road to harvest the next row of tea fields.
[0046] The body adjustment mechanism at the head part includes an operating mechanism positioning bracket 165, which is fixedly connected to the crown cutter mechanism 200 by bolts. When harvesting in a tea garden with a certain slope, the inclination angle of the crown cutter mechanism 200 is consistent with the slope of the tea garden, so that the harvested tea trees meet the appropriate height for manual picking of spring tea in the second year.
[0047] A fuel generator is installed on the tray 600. The series plug-in hybrid electric tea harvester, which is powered by the internal combustion engine to the range extender, can be charged without a charging pile. It is very suitable for long-term operation in hilly areas, and can also recover braking energy. Example

When the gear 125 drives the spline gear 124, the plane bearing 127 rotates with it and also rotates accordingly. Due to the existence of the plane bearing 127, the steering mechanism stepper motor 126 can only rotate through the gear 125 and the spline gear 124 to drive the steering bracket 110, thereby driving the rotation direction of the electric wheel.

When the wheel steering bracket verticality detector 113 detects that the square steel steering bracket 110 exceeds the error (assuming the error is 0.5 degrees), the stepping motor 143 in the bracket vertical adjustment mechanism 140 automatically drives the driving gear 144 to drive the rotating ring gear to move and adjust the square steel steering bracket 110.
[0053] When the square steel steering bracket 110 is turned, please refer to Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The pin center of the single-ear ball joint 171 is coaxial with the center of the rotation center opening of the fixed plate 141.

Since one end of the rotating ring gear 145 is welded and fixed to the longitudinal bracket 180, the motor stepper motor 143 on the rotating plate 142 rotates through the action of the driving gear 144 and the meshing rotating ring gear 145.

These inclination sensors detect the inclination angles corresponding to the slopes of the four sides of the electric tea harvester in the hilly area. The transverse frame and the longitudinal frame adjust their lengths according to the change of this angle; please refer to Figure 3 The rotation position of the single-ear ball joint 171 has a certain distance difference from the steering bracket 110, so the body width adjustment mechanism 160 is installed on the transverse bracket 170. When harvesting tea leaves in a tilted tea garden, different inclination angles need to be calculated and adjusted to the appropriate length of the transverse bracket; please refer to Figure 5 The longitudinal bracket 180 is installed with the vehicle body length adjustment mechanism 150. When climbing a slope, different inclination angles need to be calculated and adjusted to appropriately adjust the length of the longitudinal bracket.
[0068] The inner longitudinal bracket 181 is a telescopic universal joint mechanism, which can automatically adjust its length following the adjustment of the outer longitudinal bracket. The upper balancing bracket 190 is a telescopic universal joint, which can automatically adjust its length following the adjustment of the outer longitudinal bracket and the transverse bracket 170. There is no need to calculate and the length is adjusted by the adjustment mechanism.

According to the terrain of the hills, the highest reference point of the electric tea harvester is determined. The highest point does not move, and the "chasing" leveling method is used to control the lifting height of the upper bracket lifting cylinder 130 in each square steel steering bracket 110 of the electric tea harvester to ensure the upper load level.

The tea trees and the roads between rows can actually be regarded as a structured road. Lidar is used to obtain three-dimensional information of tea trees and accurately obtain road information on both sides of the row of tea trees.
[0076] The model-based road detection method first assumes a road model. Commonly used road models include straight line model, straight line-parabola model, parabola model, spline curve model, segmented curvature model, etc. Then the road detection information is converted into the solution of the road model to obtain the driving route of the electric tea harvester.
