It can complete the harvesting operation to the maximum extent while reducing the harvesting cost and the power consumption of the machine operation, and the appropriate feeding and chopping speed can effectively prevent the occurrence of material blockage.

[0003] The feeding and chopping device of the traditional hybrid foxtail grass harvester cannot realize the pre-pressing of materials and the advance monitoring of the feeding amount. There is a monitoring lag and it cannot adapt to the situation where one machine harvests multiple crops. The harvesting efficiency is low and it is easy to get stuck. The chopping effect is poor, which affects the silage value of the feed. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to significantly improve the chopping quality, ensure the continuity of silage harvesting operations, reduce the impact of downtime caused by blockage, reduce the time of harvesting operations, reduce operation energy consumption, improve the overall efficiency of operations, and achieve efficient harvesting of silage, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a hybrid foxtail grass harvester with an adjustable feeding and chopping device, which has the advantages of reduced consumption, easy control, and strong continuous operation ability. It can independently adjust the feeding speed and chopping speed according to the feeding amount, can adapt to stems of different thicknesses for operations, and can quickly clear blockages.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A hybrid pennisetum harvester has an adjustable feeding and chopping device, comprising a shell, a conveying component, a gathering component, a pre-pressing component, a feeding component and a chopping component.

[0006] The conveying component includes a roller, a conveyor belt, a bracket, and a sensor; the conveying component includes two rollers, which are horizontally installed on the lower part of the front section of the shell through a bearing seat; the conveyor belt is horizontally installed on the two rollers to form a ring, and the sensor is inside the ring with its upper end close to the upper part of the conveyor belt and its lower end fixed to the surface of the bracket, and both ends of the bracket are fixed inside the front section of the shell.

[0007] The feeding component comprises an upper feeding roller, a lower feeding roller and saw teeth; the upper feeding roller and the lower feeding roller are placed horizontally up and down and are installed on the housing through a bearing seat; the saw teeth are provided with mounting holes and are installed on the holes of the upper feeding roller and the lower feeding roller through bolts and nuts. After installation, the saw teeth are in a circular array state on the upper feeding roller and the lower feeding roller.

[0008] The shredding component comprises a crushing drum, a shredding knife and a shredding knife seat; the crushing drum is installed on the shell through a bearing seat, and a key groove is opened on the shaft at one end of the crushing drum.

[0009] The chopping knife seats are staggered and fixed on the crushing drum; threaded holes are arranged on the chopping knife seats and the chopping knives, and the two are connected by bolts and nuts.

[0010] The gathering component includes a gathering plate, a spherical slider, a sliding screw, a spherical slide groove and a hinge; the gathering plate is fixed to the front end of the shell through the hinge, one gathering plate is limited by one hinge, and the gathering component has two gathering plates, which are fixed to both sides of the shell.

[0011] The spherical slide groove is fixed on the gathering plate opposite to each other, and the round balls at both ends of the spherical slider are installed inside the spherical slide groove, so that the spherical slider can slide freely in the spherical slide groove.

[0012] The middle circular hole of the spherical slider is provided with a thread and is connected to the sliding screw. When the sliding screw rotates, the spherical slider is driven to slide along the spherical sliding groove.

[0013] The sliding screw is provided with keyways at both ends and is mounted on the housing through a bearing seat so as to be rotated by external power; There are two gathering plates in total. When the sliding screw rotates under the action of an external driving force, it drives the spherical slider to slide along the spherical slide groove, so that the gathering plates are folded in the box or expanded outward.

[0014] The pre-pressing component comprises a slider, a latch and a limit slot, and the slider is provided with a latch slot, a first limit slot and a second limit slot; the component limit slot is fixed to the housing; The component latch is placed into the latch slot from above the slider, and limit slot one and limit slot two can be selected according to the use status of the upper pressure roller. When the upper pressure roller needs to be locked, the latch is in limit slot one and one end of the latch is inserted into the limit slot. When the latch is in limit slot two, the entire latch is completely inside the latch slot, and the upper pressure roller is in an unlocked state.

[0015] The front end of the shell is provided with a front top cover which is pulled out through a card slot, and one end of the front top cover is provided with a handle which is convenient for pulling out.

[0016] The upper pressing roller of the pre-pressing component can move up and down on the front slide rail and the rear slide rail through a slider.

[0017] The conveying component includes a sensor, which is installed below the conveyor belt and horizontally fixed in the middle of the shell through a bracket, and is used to measure the fluctuation of the feeding amount and transmit the change of the feeding amount to the terminal in real time.

[0018] The pre-pressing component includes a pressure sensor, which is arranged in a ring shape in the middle of the upper pressing roller and is powered by a built-in battery to measure the feeding pressure. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the measurement data of the two, the PLC controls the external hydraulic system to adjust the feeding speed of the upper feeding roller and the lower feeding roller and the operating speed of the shredding component to achieve efficient shredding.

[0019] A method for regulating a controllable feeding and chopping device of a hybrid Pennisetum harvester, the method comprising the following steps: S1. Before the harvesting operation begins, determine the type of crop to be harvested and manually select and place the latch of the pre-pressing component in the appropriate limit slot 1 or limit slot 2; S2. After the machine is started, the two rollers of the conveying component drive the conveyor belt to rotate clockwise, and the forage entering from the left is transported horizontally from left to right through the conveyor belt; the sensor installed under the conveyor belt begins to measure the pressure change on the conveyor belt at this time; S3. According to different pressure changes, the sliding screw starts to rotate under the action of the external hydraulic motor, and the sliding screw drives the spherical slider to slide in the spherical slide groove, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the two gathering plates; when the pressure decreases, the two gathering plates are retracted inward, and under the consolidation of the hinge at one end, they present an "eight" shape, which has a horizontal gathering effect on the grass; on the contrary, the two gathering plates open outward and present a horizontal state, which is convenient for the flow of large feeding amounts of grass; at the same time, according to different pressure changes, the sensor feeds back to the system, and the system controls and distributes reasonable power to the feeding component and the chopping component, so that the speed is adjusted in real time according to the change of the feeding amount to complete the operation; S4. After the transportation is completed, if the harvested material is a crop with hard stalks such as corn stalks or king grass, the pin of the pre-pressing component can be placed in the limit slot one, and one end can be inserted into the limit slot. At this time, the upper pressing roller is completely locked, and the crop can be initially cracked, which plays a preliminary pre-pressing role on the hard stalks; when harvesting crops with thin stalks and soft material characteristics such as alfalfa, the stalks are not easy to be cracked, and excessive squeezing may cause nutrient loss of the material. At this time, the pin of the pre-pressing component can be placed in the limit slot two position. At this time, the pin is completely inside the pin slot, and the upper pressing roller is in an active state; S5. During the pre-pressing process, the pressure sensor installed on the upper roller can monitor the pressure between the upper roller and the material in real time, and compare it with the set value. According to the pressure difference, it is fed back to the shredding component, and the external hydraulic system increases or decreases the speed of the crushing drum in real time, which improves the shredding efficiency and effectively alleviates the problem of material blocking due to large feeding volume. S6. After the pre-pressing process is completed, the upper feeding roller and the lower feeding roller are rotated by external power to feed the pre-pressed materials to the shredding parts in the forward direction. The saw teeth installed on the upper feeding roller and the lower feeding roller can effectively increase the friction between the upper feeding roller and the lower feeding roller, and efficiently complete the entire feeding operation; S7, after the feeding operation is completed, the shredding component rotates at high speed under the control of external power to complete the shredding operation; S8. During operation, if material blockage occurs due to excessive or uneven feeding, the front top cover at the front end of the shell can be pulled out from one end, and the latch can be placed in the second limit slot to make the upper pressure roller active. Under the action of external force, the upper pressure roller can be lifted to the upper end along the slide rail and then taken out. At this time, two-thirds of the upper part of the device is opened, which can realize rapid cleaning of materials and clearing of blockages.

[0020] S9, repeat steps S1-S7 until the device stops working, and then put the latch into the position of the limiting groove 1, so that the entire upper pressure roller is in a stable locked state.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The gathering component used in the present invention can gather the material laterally at the initial stage of feeding. When the feeding amount is small, the gathering plate gathers inwards to concentrate and compact the material. When the feeding amount is large, the gathering plate flattens outwards to make the material flow smoother, which is beneficial to the shredding effect. 2. The present invention adopts a detachable front top cover and a floating upper pressure roller, which has strong flexibility and is convenient for cleaning after blockage, thus reducing maintenance costs and saving time costs; 3. The present invention adopts a controllable double-slide floating roller design, and the opening and locking states of the upper pressure roller can be flexibly changed by the position of the latch. It is suitable for crops with different stem thickness and hardness and different feeding amounts per unit time, thereby improving the applicability of the device.

[0022] 4. The adjustable feeding and shredding device and method adopted by the present invention can adaptively adjust the feeding speed and shredding speed according to the feeding amount, so that the operation of the device is matched with the supply of materials, ensuring the shredding quality and improving the working efficiency. At the same time, when the feeding amount increases, the speed of the feeding roller and the shredding drum can be increased in time to avoid blockage caused by untimely shredding.

7. A method for controlling the adjustable feeding and chopping device of a hybrid Pennisetum harvester as claimed in claim 6, characterized in that: The method comprises the following steps: S1. Before the harvesting operation begins, determine the characteristics of the harvested crop stems and manually select and place the latch (403) of the pre-pressing component (4) in a suitable limiting groove 1 (4024) or limiting groove 2 (4025); S2, after the machine is started, the two rollers (201) of the conveying component (2) drive the conveyor belt (202) to rotate clockwise, so that the incoming forage is transported horizontally through the conveyor belt (202); the sensor (204) installed below the conveyor belt (202) starts to measure the pressure change on the conveyor belt (202) at this time; S3. According to different pressure changes, the sliding screw (303) starts to rotate under the power of the external hydraulic motor, and the sliding screw (303) drives the spherical slider (302) to slide in the spherical slide groove (304), thereby controlling the opening and closing of the two gathering plates (301); when the pressure decreases, the two gathering plates (301) are retracted inwardly, and under the consolidation effect of the hinge (305) at one end, they present an "eight" shape, which has a horizontal gathering effect on the grass; on the contrary, the two gathering plates (301) are opened outwardly and present a flattened state, which facilitates the flow of large feeding amounts of grass; at the same time, according to different pressure changes, the sensor (204) feeds back to the system, and the system controls and distributes reasonable power to the feeding component (5) and the chopping component (6), so that the rotation speed is adjusted in real time according to the change of the feeding amount to complete the operation; S4. After the conveying is completed, if the harvested material is a crop with a hard stem, the latch (403) of the pre-pressing component (4) is placed in the first limit slot (4024), and one end is inserted into the limit slot (404). At this time, the upper pressing roller (401) is completely locked, and a preliminary pre-pressing effect is exerted on the hard stem; when harvesting crops with thin stems and soft material characteristics, the latch (403) of the pre-pressing component (4) is placed in the second limit slot (4025). At this time, the latch (403) is completely inside the latch slot (4023), and the upper pressing roller (401) is in an active state; S5. During the pre-pressing process, the pressure sensor (407) installed on the upper pressing roller (401) monitors the pressure between the upper pressing roller (401) and the material in real time, and compares it with the set value. The pressure difference is fed back to the shredding component (6), and the external hydraulic system increases or decreases the rotation speed of the crushing drum (601) in real time; S6. After the pre-pressing process is completed, the upper feeding roller (501) and the lower feeding roller (502) are rotated by external power to feed the pre-pressed material forward to the shredding component (6). The saw teeth (503) installed on the upper feeding roller (501) and the lower feeding roller (502) can effectively increase the friction between the upper feeding roller (501) and the lower feeding roller (502), thereby completing the entire feeding operation. S7, after the feeding operation is completed, the shredding component (6) rotates at a high speed under the control of an external power to complete the shredding operation; S8. During the operation, if material blockage occurs due to excessive feeding amount or uneven feeding amount, the front top cover (101) at the front end of the housing (1) is pulled out from one end, and the latch (403) is placed in the second limit groove (4025), so that the upper pressure roller (401) is in an active state. Under the action of external force, the upper pressure roller (401) is lifted to the uppermost end along the slide rail and can be taken out. At this time, the upper two-thirds of the area of ​​the device is opened, so that the material can be quickly cleaned and the blockage can be cleared; S9, repeating steps S1-S7 until the device stops operating, and placing the latch (403) in the position of the limiting groove 1 (4024), so that the entire upper pressure roller (401) is in a stable locked state.
