Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sugarcane planting equipment technology, and in particular to a smart sugarcane bud removal device. Background Technology

[0002] In sugarcane cultivation, the treatment of seed stalks is one of the key steps. Among these steps, the bud-removing technique is crucial for improving sugarcane emergence rate, reducing pest and disease spread, and optimizing planting efficiency. Traditional manual bud-removing methods rely heavily on operator experience, involving manually removing excess buds from the sugarcane. However, this method suffers from high labor intensity, low efficiency, and poor uniformity.

[0003] In recent years, with the development of mechanization technology, some mechanical equipment for sugarcane bud removal has appeared on the market. This equipment typically uses identification devices to determine the location and quality of sugarcane buds. After identification, mechanical blades or other physical devices are used to remove the buds from one side of the sugarcane. However, traditional single-sided bud removal methods often require additional mechanisms (such as rotating devices) to rotate the sugarcane for comprehensive bud removal. This design not only increases the complexity of the equipment but may also lead to higher operating costs, more difficult maintenance, and reduced overall work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6The exemplary embodiment of the present application provides a sugarcane intelligent bud-picking device, mainly comprising a rack 10, a sugarcane conveying mechanism 20, an automatic identification mechanism 30, a bud-picking device 40 and a controller.

[0044] The rack 10 is used for supporting and is in a frame structure, preferably welded by section steel.

[0045] The sugarcane conveying mechanism 20 is arranged on the rack 10 and is used for driving to convey the sugarcane, i.e. the sugarcane is placed on the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20 and is conveyed to the bud-picking device 40 by the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20 for bud picking. The sugarcane conveying mechanism 20 can select the existing sugarcane conveying device, which only needs to realize the linear conveying of the sugarcane. In the exemplary embodiment, the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20 comprises a conveying wheel set and a conveying driving mechanism used for driving the conveying wheel set to rotate. The conveying wheel set is in multiple groups, each group of the conveying wheel set comprises an upper pressing wheel 21 and a lower pressing wheel 22, the upper pressing wheel 21 is located above the lower pressing wheel 22, the upper pressing wheel 21 and the lower pressing wheel 22 are both provided with grooves, and the grooves of the upper pressing wheel 21 and the lower pressing wheel 22 form a space for placing the sugarcane. The lower pressing wheel 22 is rotatably installed on the rack 10 through a rotating shaft, and the upper pressing wheel 21 is arranged on an adaptive pressing mechanism through a rotating shaft. The adaptive pressing mechanism is located at both ends of the rotating shaft and is installed on the rack 10. The adaptive pressing mechanism comprises a mounting bracket 23, a cross rod 24 and a tension spring 25. The mounting bracket 23 is fixedly installed on the rack 10 and is provided with vertical sliding grooves on both sides. The cross rod 24 is located in the sliding grooves on both sides of the mounting bracket 23 so that the cross rod 24 can vertically slide along the sliding grooves. The tension spring 25 is arranged on both ends of the cross rod 24 and is connected to the rack 10 at the other end, so that the cross rod 24 has a downward moving trend. The rotating shaft of the upper pressing wheel 21 is connected to the cross rod 24 at both ends, so that the upper pressing wheel 21 also has a downward moving trend under the condition that the cross rod 24 has a downward moving trend, thereby being able to press the sugarcane downward. The conveying driving mechanism comprises a conveying driving motor 26 and a conveying transmission assembly. The conveying driving motor 26 is arranged on the rack 10, and the conveying transmission assembly comprises a synchronous belt 27 and two synchronous wheels 28. One of the synchronous wheels 28 is installed on the rotating shaft of the lower pressing wheel 22, and the other synchronous wheel 28 is installed on the output shaft of the driving motor 26. The synchronous belt 27 is sleeved on the two synchronous wheels 28, so that the rotating shaft of the lower pressing wheel 22 can be driven to rotate by the synchronous belt 27 when the driving motor 26 operates, thereby driving the lower pressing wheel 22 to rotate. In the implementation, the sugarcane is prevented from being placed between the grooves of the upper pressing wheel 21 and the lower pressing wheel 22. The upper pressing wheel 21 has a function of pressing the sugarcane downward under the action of the adaptive pressing mechanism. When the lower pressing wheel 22 rotates, the sugarcane can be driven to move to the direction of the bud-picking device 40.

[0046] Preferably, in some embodiments, a plurality of groups of conveying wheels share one driving motor 26, at this time, the end of the rotating shaft of the pressing wheel 22 of the adjacent conveying wheel group is provided with a synchronous wheel 28, and the two synchronous wheels 28 are directly sleeved with a synchronous belt 27, at this time, the rotating shaft of the pressing wheel 22 can be driven to rotate through the synchronous belt 27, so as to drive the pressing wheel 22 to rotate.

[0047] The automatic identification mechanism 30 is arranged on the rack 10 and is used to identify the sugarcane buds on the sugarcane. The automatic identification mechanism 30 adopts the device of the prior art and has a camera to identify the position of the sugarcane buds on the sugarcane by shooting and the like. The automatic identification mechanism 30 is arranged beside the conveying channel through which the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20 conveys the sugarcane. The entire path of the conveying channel through which the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20 conveys the sugarcane is provided with a plurality of points, the automatic identification mechanism 30 identifies the position of the sugarcane buds on the sugarcane and accurately obtains the position of the sugarcane buds on the sugarcane. In combination with the conveying of the sugarcane by the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20, the sugarcane buds on the sugarcane can be accurately sent to the bud clamping device 40 to be clamped.

[0048] The bud clamping device 40 is arranged on the rack 10 and includes two bud clamping mechanisms 41 for clamping the buds of the sugarcane. The two bud clamping mechanisms 41 are respectively located on the two sides of the sugarcane conveyed by the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20, and the buds of the sugarcane are located on the two sides. When the buds of the sugarcane on one side are located on the same side of the conveying path, the same side of the bud clamping mechanism 41 is located directly below the buds of the sugarcane on the same side, and the same side of the bud clamping mechanism 41 clamps the buds of the sugarcane on the same side. When the buds of the sugarcane on the other side are located on the same side of the conveying path, the same side of the bud clamping mechanism 41 is located directly below the buds of the sugarcane on the other side, and the same side of the bud clamping mechanism 41 clamps the buds of the sugarcane on the other side. The buds on the two sides can be clamped, so that the sugarcane does not need to be rotated by an additional mechanism to rotate the buds on the two sides to the bud clamping mechanism 41 in turn to be clamped, thereby reducing the use of the mechanism, reducing the cost, reducing the difficulty of maintenance, and improving the clamping efficiency as a whole.

[0049] The controller is electrically connected with the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20, the automatic identification mechanism 30 and the bud removing mechanism 41 respectively, receives the signal of the automatic identification mechanism 30 to control the start and stop of the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20 and control the bud removing mechanism 41 to remove the buds on the sugarcane. In an exemplary embodiment, the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20 conveys the sugarcane to the bud removing device 40 for bud removal, during the conveying, the automatic identification mechanism 30 identifies the position of the buds on the sugarcane and transmits the signal to the controller, in combination with the conveying speed of the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20, when the buds are conveyed to the right below the bud removing mechanism 41 on the same side, the controller controls the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20 to temporarily stop and controls the bud removing mechanism 41 to remove the buds at the same time. Since the automatic identification mechanism 30 and the bud removing mechanism 41 are arranged on both sides, they can control the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20 to temporarily stop and control the bud removing mechanism 41 to remove the buds at the same time when the buds are located below the bud removing mechanism 41.

[0050] In the preferred embodiment, sensors can be installed on both sides below the bud removing mechanism 41 to identify the buds multiple times to ensure the accuracy of identification, so as to ensure that the sugarcane can be stopped and removed by the bud removing mechanism 41 when the buds pass through.

[0051] The camera of the automatic identification mechanism 30 is arranged on the sugarcane conveying channel in front of the bud removing knife, can take a picture of one sugarcane at a time, and can determine the position of the buds in advance before bud removal.

[0052] In the preferred embodiment, one of the bud removing mechanisms 41 is fixedly arranged on the rack 10, and the other bud removing mechanism 41 is driven to move by the first driving mechanism, and the moving direction of the bud removing mechanism 41 driven by the first driving mechanism is parallel to the conveying direction of the sugarcane. Considering that the spacing between the buds on the sugarcane gradually increases from the head to the tail, that is, the distribution spacing between the sugarcane buds is not equal in the length direction of the sugarcane, therefore, if both of the bud removing mechanisms 41 are fixedly arranged, only one side can be removed at a time. Based on this, in order to simultaneously achieve the removal of the buds on both sides, one of the bud removing mechanisms 41 is fixedly arranged on the rack 10, and the other bud removing mechanism 41 is driven to move by the first driving mechanism, and the moving direction is parallel to the conveying direction of the sugarcane. Therefore, when the front sugarcane bud is located below the front bud removing mechanism 41, the position of the rear sugarcane bud is also determined, at this time, the rear bud removing mechanism 41 is moved to the above of the rear sugarcane bud, and at this time, the two sugarcane buds are located below the two bud removing mechanisms 41 at the same time, and the bud removing mechanisms 41 are started at the same time, so that the buds on both sides can be removed at the same time, and the efficiency of bud removal is improved.

[0053] The cane bud device 40 of the present application can simultaneously bud from both sides. When simultaneously bud, the two bud mechanisms 41 simultaneously apply force to both sides, so that the force on both sides of the cane is basically cancelled, and the cane does not rotate or deviate, so that the cane position is ensured during the bud by the cane conveying mechanism 20 without the need for additional pressing device. In the case of single side bud, the bud mechanism 41 on one side buds, and the bud mechanism 41 on the other side presses the cane from top to bottom, which can also ensure the position of the cane during the bud.

[0054] The cane bud device 40 further comprises a support plate 42, which is transversely installed on the frame 10. The support plate 42 is provided with bud holes 43 at positions corresponding to the two bud mechanisms 41, and the bud holes 43 penetrate the support plate 42. The cane bud device 40 comprises a bud device housing 411, and the bud mechanism 41 comprises a bud driving mechanism 412 and a bud knife 413. The bud device housing 411 is installed on the support plate 42 and is open at the bottom. The bud driving mechanism 412 is installed in the bud device housing 411. The bud driving mechanism 412 is preferably a linear driving mechanism such as a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod, which can realize linear driving of the cane bud knife 413. The cane bud knife 413 is installed at the bottom of the bud driving mechanism 412 to be driven by the bud driving mechanism 412 to move up and down. The cane bud knife 413 is arranged opposite to the bud hole 43, so that when the cane bud knife 413 is downwardly bud, it can enter the bud hole 43, and the bud of the cane falls down from the bud hole 43.

[0055] In the present exemplary embodiment, the bud hole 43 corresponding to the fixedly arranged bud mechanism 41 is a strip hole with a small length, or the vertical projection position of the cane bud knife 413 is fixed because the position of the bud mechanism 41 is fixed. At this time, the bud hole 43 with a small length is just opposite to the cane bud knife 413. The bud hole 43 corresponding to the movable bud mechanism 41 is a strip hole with a large length, or the vertical projection position of the cane bud knife 413 is not fixed because the position of the bud mechanism 41 is movable. At this time, the bud hole 43 with a large length can cover the moving position of the cane bud knife 413, so that the cane bud can be located above the bud hole 43 to ensure that the bud of the cane falls down from the bud hole 43.

[0056] The first driving mechanism comprises a sliding rail 441, a sliding block 442, a first driving motor 443 and a first screw rod 444, the sliding rail 441 is fixedly installed in the sprout removing device shell 411, the extending direction of the sliding rail 441 is parallel to the conveying direction of the sugarcane, the sliding block 442 is slidingly installed in the sliding rail 441 and is connected with the sprout removing driving mechanism 412 of the sprout removing mechanism 41 driven to move by the first driving mechanism, the first driving motor 443 is fixedly installed on the sprout removing device shell 411, the first screw rod 444 is connected with the first driving motor 443 to be driven to rotate by the first driving motor 443, the extending direction of the first screw rod 444 is consistent with the extending direction of the sliding rail 441, a screw hole is formed in the sliding block 442, and the first screw rod 444 is connected with the sliding block 442 through the screw hole. In implementation, the first driving motor 443 drives the first screw rod 444 to rotate, then the sliding block 442 can move along the sliding rail 441 under the action of the first screw rod 444, and the moving direction of the sliding block 442 can be changed by forward and reverse rotation, the sliding block 442 is connected with the sprout removing driving mechanism 412, or in other words, the sprout removing driving mechanism 412 is installed on the sliding block 442 and is driven to move by the sliding block 442 to move above the corresponding sugarcane sprout.

[0057] In the preferred embodiment, the sugarcane sprout removing knife 413 has a sprout removing knife accommodating cavity 414 extending upward from the bottom, the sprout removing knife accommodating cavity 414 is provided with an elastic element 415, and the elastic element 415 is provided with a pushing piece 416 at a position close to the bottom opening of the sprout removing knife accommodating cavity 414. The commonly used sugarcane sprout removing knife 413 is circular or arc-shaped, the bottom is thin and sharp, the cutting of the sugarcane is realized through the blade at the bottom to remove the sugarcane sprout, and when the sprout is removed, if the cut sugarcane sprout is thin, the sugarcane sprout generally will not stay in the circular or arc-shaped cavity of the sugarcane sprout removing knife 413 and will directly fall off, but for some large-sized stems, the sugarcane sprout may stay in the circular or arc-shaped cavity of the sugarcane sprout removing knife 413, thereby affecting the falling of the sugarcane sprout and the subsequent sprout removing. Based on this, the sugarcane sprout removing knife 413 of the present application has a sprout removing knife accommodating cavity 414 extending upward from the bottom, when the sprout is removed, the entire sugarcane sprout removing knife 413 quickly moves downward, the sugarcane sprout exerts a force on the pushing piece 416 to compress the elastic element 415 before the sugarcane sprout is separated from the sugarcane, and after the sugarcane sprout is cut and completely separated from the sugarcane, the pushing piece 416 is driven to move in the direction of the port of the sugarcane sprout removing knife 413 under the action of the elastic element 415, and the sugarcane sprout is pushed downward, in the above manner, it can be ensured that the sugarcane sprout will not stay in the sugarcane sprout removing knife 413, and the efficient sprout removing can be ensured.

[0058] The first conveying belt 11 is arranged on the frame 10 and is located below the bud removal holes 43. When the buds of sugarcane are removed from the bud removal holes 43 by the bud removal knives 413, the buds of sugarcane can fall on the first conveying belt 11 and be conveyed by the first conveying belt 11. The second conveying belt 11 is arranged on the frame 10 and is located below the first conveying belt 11. The two ends of the second conveying belt 11 are respectively located on the two sides of the first conveying belt 11. The bottom of the support plate 42 is provided with a rotating plate 45 and a second driving motor 46 for driving the rotating plate 45 to rotate beside each of the two bud removal holes 43. When the second driving motor 46 drives the rotating plate 45 to rotate to the vertical state, the rotating plate 45 does not block the bud removal hole 43, so that the buds of sugarcane falling from the bud removal hole 43 can directly fall on the first conveying belt 11. When the second driving motor 46 drives the rotating plate 45 to rotate to the inclined state, the buds of sugarcane falling from the bud removal hole 43 can slide along the inclined rotating plate 45 to the second conveying belt 11. The two rotating plates 45 are located between the two bud removal holes 43. When rotating, the two rotating plates 45 rotate to the side. The two rotating plates 45 cover one of the two bud removal holes 43 and do not cover the other bud removal hole 43, that is, one of the rotating plates 45 can only affect one of the bud removal holes 43. The identification device of the prior art can not only identify the position of the bud of sugarcane, but also has a certain accuracy to identify the good and bad of the bud of sugarcane. The automatic identification mechanism 30 adopts the identification device of the prior art. While identifying the position of the bud of sugarcane, the automatic identification mechanism 30 can also identify the good and bad of the bud of sugarcane. The automatic identification mechanism 30 extends to the vicinity of the two bud removal mechanisms 41. After identifying the good and bad of the bud of sugarcane corresponding to the bud removal mechanism, if the bud of sugarcane is a good bud, the second driving motor 46 maintains the rotating plate 45 in the vertical state to not block the bud removal hole 43, so that the bud of sugarcane falling from the bud removal hole 43 can directly fall on the first conveying belt 11. At this time, the first conveying belt 11 is used to convey the good buds. If the bud of sugarcane is a bad bud, no bud removal is performed, or the bud removal is still performed, but the second driving motor 46 drives the rotating plate 45 to rotate to the inclined state, so that the bud of sugarcane falling from the bud removal hole 43 can slide along the inclined rotating plate 45 to the second conveying belt 11. At this time, the second conveying belt 11 is used to convey the bad buds. Through the above-mentioned mode, the good buds and the bad buds can be conveyed separately. In the example embodiment, even if the bud of sugarcane is identified as a bad bud by the automatic identification mechanism 30, the bud removal is still selected.

[0059] In the preferred embodiment, the end of the first conveying belt 11 is provided with a first sugarcane bud identification mechanism 31 for identifying good and bad sugarcane buds. A distribution mechanism 50 for distributing good and bad sugarcane buds is arranged below the end of the first conveying belt 11. The third conveying belt 13 is arranged on the frame 10, with the front end of the third conveying belt 13 located below the distribution mechanism 50 at a position below the discharge port for distributing bad sugarcane buds, and the end of the third conveying belt 13 located above the second conveying belt 12. The distribution mechanism 50 comprises a distribution hopper 51, with a top of the distribution hopper 51 provided with an inlet 52, and a bottom of the distribution hopper 51 provided with two discharge ports 53. A distribution motor 54 is arranged on the distribution hopper 51, with an output shaft of the distribution motor 54 provided with a distribution plate 55 for blocking one of the discharge ports 53 and guiding the material to the other discharge port 53.

[0060] Considering the problem of accuracy in identifying good and bad buds, the first sugarcane bud identification mechanism 31 is arranged at the end of the first conveying belt 11 to identify good and bad sugarcane buds for the second time. The position has fewer interference factors, which can improve the sorting accuracy. When the distribution mechanism 50 is arranged, if the sugarcane bud is identified as a good bud, it enters one of the discharge ports 53 of the distribution mechanism 50 through the inlet 52 of the distribution hopper 51. If the sugarcane bud is identified as a bad bud, it enters the other discharge port 53 of the distribution mechanism 50 through the inlet 52 of the distribution hopper 51, and the distribution motor 54 drives the distribution plate 55 to rotate to the other side. The sugarcane bud falls onto the third conveying belt 13, which is conveyed and falls onto the second conveying belt 12.

[0061] The end of the second conveying belt 12 is provided with a second sugarcane bud identification mechanism 32 for identifying good and bad sugarcane buds. A distribution mechanism 50 for distributing good and bad sugarcane buds is arranged below the end of the second conveying belt 12. The structure of the distribution mechanism 50 at this position is consistent with the structure of the distribution mechanism 50 described above.
