Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of agricultural machinery, and in particular to a flexible clamping and conveying mechanism for leafy vegetables and a design method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Leafy vegetables are fast-growing vegetables that mainly produce fresh green leaves, petioles and tender stems, such as spinach and rapeseed, which are important components of people's daily diet. At present, the harvesting of leafy vegetables is mainly done manually, which is laborious and time-consuming, resulting in increased production costs. The harvesting of leafy vegetables has seriously affected the development of the vegetable industry.

[0003] Some equipment used to harvest leafy vegetables in traditional technology can replace manual labor to pull leafy vegetables out of the soil, greatly reducing labor intensity and improving harvesting efficiency. For leafy vegetables, in order to facilitate bundling and packing after harvesting, the leafy vegetable plants pulled out of the soil need to be transported backward for a distance to achieve orderly harvesting. However, the method of cutting stubble and disorderly harvesting is often adopted. This harvesting method does not use bundling and packing after harvesting, thereby increasing the workload of post-harvest leafy vegetable processing.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, there are leafy vegetable harvesting machines in the prior art that can realize orderly harvesting, which can facilitate the bundling and boxing of harvested leafy vegetables. However, since the stems of leafy vegetables are tender and juicy, they are easily damaged by clamping during the orderly clamping and transportation process. Summary of the invention

[0011] Based on the relationship between the deadweight and clamping force of leafy vegetables at different feeding amounts, the minimum clamping force required to achieve stable clamping of leafy vegetables at different feeding amounts is determined;

[0012] When the leafy vegetable flexible clamping and conveying mechanism clamps and conveys leafy vegetables of different feeding amounts, under the reaction force of the minimum clamping force, each unit beam of the buckled beam in the clamping module of the leafy vegetable flexible clamping and conveying mechanism undergoes a deformation that satisfies the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation, thereby obtaining the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation of the unit beam;

[0013] A global coordinate system is established with the contact point between the axis of the buckled beam and the load-bearing plate in the clamping module as the origin, the positive direction of the x-axis is parallel to the load-bearing plate and horizontally points to the right, and the positive direction of the y-axis is perpendicular to the load-bearing plate and points to the clamping plate;

[0014] With reference to the global coordinate system, a local coordinate system is established for each unit beam. The origin of the local coordinate system coincides with the starting point of the unit beam. The local coordinate system of the first unit beam coincides with the global coordinate system. The local coordinate system of the second unit beam is deflected from the global coordinate system. The deflection angle is equal to the change angle of the working end of the first unit beam.

[0015] According to the geometric relationship between the global coordinate system and the local coordinate system, the spatial motion equilibrium equation and the static equilibrium equation generated by the working end of the buckled beam are derived, and the equation system composed of the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation, the spatial motion equilibrium equation and the static equilibrium equation is solved to obtain the clamping force generated by the working end of the buckled beam under different feeding amounts of leafy vegetables.

[0016] The shape parameters of the unit beam were iteratively optimized, and the component of the clamping force in the y-axis direction at the working end of the buckled beam under different feeding amounts of leafy vegetables was set to be equal to the minimum clamping force as the goal of the optimization design, and a flexible buckled beam structure that met the stable clamping conditions was obtained.

[0017] In a possible implementation, the unit beam of the buckled beam uses an axis to characterize the overall shape, and uses a polynomial function to describe its specific shape, and its initial shape is:

[0018] φ i (s) = a i +b i s+c i s 2 +d i s 3 (0≤s≤L i )

[0019]

[0020]

[0021] Where i represents the i-th unit beam, L i is the length of the i-th unit beam, s is the length of a point on the i-th unit beam, φ i (s) is the angle between the tangent line of the i-th unit beam at the beam length s and the x-axis, a i , b i 、c i and d i is the shape parameter of the i-th unit beam, x i (s) is the horizontal coordinate of the i-th unit beam in the Cartesian coordinate system at the beam length s, y i (s) is the ordinate of the i-th unit beam in the Cartesian coordinate system at the beam length s, and ξ is the variable in the definite integral calculation.

[0024]

[0025]

[0026]

[0027] Where E is the elastic modulus of the unit beam material, I is the section moment of inertia of the unit beam, is the angle between the i-th unit beam and the x-axis at the beam length s after deformation, f xi is the clamping force component in the x-axis direction of the working end of the i-th unit beam, f yi is the clamping force component in the y-axis direction of the working end of the i-th unit beam, Δα i (s) is the angle difference of the i-th unit beam at the beam length s after deformation, Δx i (s) is the displacement of the i-th unit beam in the x-axis direction at the beam length s after deformation, Δy i (s) is the displacement of the i-th unit beam in the y-axis direction at the beam length s after deformation.

[0028] In a possible implementation, the corresponding spatial motion equilibrium equation generated by the working end of the buckled beam is:

[0029]

[0030] Δx1(L1)+Δx2(L2)cos|Δα1(L1)|+Δy2(L2)sin|Δα1(L1)|=0

[0031] Δy-[-Δy1(L1)-Δy2(L2)cos|Δα1(L1)|+Δx2(L2)sin|Δα1(L1)|]=0

[0032] Among them, Δy is the displacement of the working end of the buckled beam in the y-axis direction under different feed amounts.

[0033] In a possible implementation, the corresponding static equilibrium equation generated at the working end of the buckled beam is:

[0056] See also Figure 3 The design method of the leaf vegetable flexible clamping and conveying mechanism provided in this embodiment includes:

[0057] S101, based on the relationship between the dead weight and the clamping force of the leafy vegetables at different feeding amounts, determine the minimum clamping force required to achieve stable clamping of the leafy vegetables at different feeding amounts.

[0058] S102, when the leafy vegetable flexible clamping and conveying mechanism clamps and conveys leafy vegetables with different feed amounts, under the reaction force of the minimum clamping force, each unit beam of the buckled beam in the clamping module of the leafy vegetable flexible clamping and conveying mechanism undergoes a deformation that satisfies the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation, thereby obtaining the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation of the unit beam.

[0059] S103, establish a global coordinate system with the contact point between the axis of the buckled beam and the load-bearing plate in the clamping module as the origin, the positive direction of the x-axis parallel to the load-bearing plate and horizontal to the right, and the positive direction of the y-axis perpendicular to the load-bearing plate and pointing to the clamping plate, such as Figure 4 shown.

[0060] S104, with reference to the global coordinate system, establish a local coordinate system for each unit beam, the origin of the local coordinate system coincides with the starting point of the unit beam, the local coordinate system of the first unit beam coincides with the global coordinate system, and the local coordinate system of the second unit beam is deflected from the global coordinate system, and the deflection angle is equal to the change angle of the working end of the first unit beam.

[0061] S105, based on the geometric relationship between the global coordinate system and the local coordinate system, the spatial motion equilibrium equation and the static equilibrium equation generated by the working end of the buckled beam are derived, and the equation group composed of the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation, the spatial motion equilibrium equation and the static equilibrium equation is solved to obtain the clamping force generated by the working end of the buckled beam under different feed amounts of leafy vegetables.

[0062] S106, iteratively optimize the shape parameters of the unit beam, and set the component of the clamping force of the working end of the buckled beam under different feeding amounts of leafy vegetables in the y-axis direction equal to the minimum clamping force as the goal of the optimization design, and obtain a flexible buckled beam structure that meets the stable clamping conditions.

[0063] In this embodiment, the unit beam of the buckled beam uses an axis to characterize the overall shape, and uses a polynomial function to describe its specific shape, and its initial shape is:

[0064] φ i (s) = a i +b i s+c i s 2 +d i s 3 (0≤s≤L i )

[0065]

[0066]

[0067] Where i represents the i-th unit beam, L i is the length of the i-th unit beam, s is the length of a point on the i-th unit beam, φ i (s) is the angle between the tangent line of the i-th unit beam at the beam length s and the x-axis, a i , b i 、c i and d i is the shape parameter of the i-th unit beam, x i (s) is the horizontal coordinate of the i-th unit beam in the Cartesian coordinate system at the beam length s, y i (s) is the ordinate of the i-th unit beam in the Cartesian coordinate system at the beam length s, and ξ is the variable in the definite integral calculation.

[0068] The deformation of the unit beam of the buckled beam that satisfies the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation is:

[0069]

[0070]

[0071]

[0072]

[0073] Where E is the elastic modulus of the unit beam material, I is the section moment of inertia of the unit beam, is the angle between the i-th unit beam and the x-axis at the beam length s after deformation, f xi is the clamping force component in the x-axis direction of the working end of the i-th unit beam, f yi is the clamping force component in the y-axis direction of the working end of the i-th unit beam, Δα i (s) is the angle difference of the i-th unit beam at the beam length s after deformation, Δx i (s) is the displacement of the i-th unit beam in the x-axis direction at the beam length s after deformation, Δy i (s) is the displacement of the i-th unit beam in the y-axis direction at the beam length s after deformation.

[0074] The corresponding spatial motion equilibrium equation generated by the working end of the buckled beam is:

[0075]

[0076] Δx1(L1)+Δx2(L2)cos|Δα1(L1)|+Δy2(L2)sin|Δα1(L1)|=0

[0077] Δy-[-Δy1(L1)-Δy2(L2)cos|Δα1(L1)|+Δx2(L2)sin|Δα1(L1)|]=0

[0078] Among them, Δy is the displacement of the working end of the buckled beam in the y-axis direction under different feed amounts.

[0079] The static equilibrium equation corresponding to the working end of the buckled beam is:

[0080] f y1 -[f y2 cos|Δα1(L1)|+f x2 sin|Δα1(L1)]=0

[0081] f x1 -[f x2 cos|Δα1(L1)|-f y2sin|Δα1(L1)]=0

[0082]

[0083] Where M is the moment at the connection between the two element beams.

[0084] The optimization model for iteratively optimizing the shape parameters of the unit beam is:

[0085]

[0086] Wherein, F is the minimum clamping force under the different feed amounts.

[0087] By optimizing the shape parameters of the unit beams that make up the buckled beam, the clamping force of the first unit beam in the y-axis direction is made to approach the minimum clamping force, and finally the buckled beam shape parameters that meet the flexible clamping requirements are obtained to achieve flexible structure design.

[0088] It can be seen from the above embodiments that the clamping and conveying mechanism of the present application adopts a symmetrical clamping and conveying action form. The frame serves as the skeleton of the entire conveying mechanism and is used to fix and install various auxiliary mechanisms. The clamping module is used to clamp and convey leafy vegetables. The support wheel is used to support and guide the movement of the clamping module. The clamping module, as the core component of the entire clamping and conveying mechanism, achieves flexible clamping of leafy vegetables by optimizing the shape parameters of the buckling beam. The driving device is used to drive the clamping module to rotate. The clamping and conveying mechanism of the present invention can avoid clamping damage during the mechanical harvesting process of leafy vegetables, and achieve flexible clamping and conveying of leafy vegetables under different feed amounts. Moreover, the clamping module and the conveying module are relatively independent, and have higher reliability, which ultimately helps to achieve low-damage and orderly harvesting of leafy vegetables.
