Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a negative pressure flower suction system and a use method, belonging to the field of agricultural machinery. Background Art

[0002] Manual picking takes too long, is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. In addition, the height of the flower branches is uncertain, and people have to bend back and forth and stand up, so manual picking is already very difficult and labor-intensive. This picking method requires a lot of labor and labor time, and the picking cost is high. In today's social and economic environment, there is a shortage of labor, and manual picking obviously no longer meets the development requirements of marigold planting. The flower picking grippers on the market are all manual auxiliary tools, devices to prevent hand injuries, and cannot achieve automatic picking mode. Marigold has a short flowering period and must be picked in large quantities in a short period of time. After flowering, it is very easy to wither. Large-scale planting requires a huge amount of manpower in a short period of time. In addition, the flowering period is divided into batches, and one plant will have several flowering periods, which requires a large amount of labor. In addition, the planting areas across the country are in remote plains and local labor areas are seriously insufficient. Due to the short flowering period, the current manual labor will be high-intensity, or even at night. This manual picking mode is already on the verge of being eliminated from the market, and the entire national market cannot effectively solve it. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the technical problems in the prior art and provide a negative pressure flower suction system.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0005] A negative pressure flower suction system, comprising:

[0006] The negative pressure mechanism includes a negative pressure cylinder, a negative pressure device is connected to the top of the negative pressure cylinder to provide negative pressure for the negative pressure cylinder, and a negative pressure connecting pipe for outputting negative pressure to the outside is arranged on the side wall of the negative pressure cylinder;

[0007] The flower picking mechanism is arranged on the flower suction tube, and the flower suction tube is connected to the negative pressure connecting tube through a transfer tube. The flower picking mechanism includes a plurality of flower picking claws arranged in a circular array relative to the axis of the flower suction tube. The flower picking claws are spoon-shaped structures. The front end of the flower picking claws is provided with a cutting protrusion for cutting off the flower branches. The end of the flower picking claws is fixedly connected to a synchronous swing arm. The end of the synchronous swing arm is rotatably connected to the end face of the front end of the flower suction tube. The end of the synchronous swing arm is movably connected to the outer side wall of the front end position of the flower suction tube through a pushing mechanism. The pushing mechanism pushes the synchronous swing arm to make the flower picking claws swing back and forth.

[0008] Wherein, a main discharge valve mechanism for opening or closing the negative pressure cylinder is connected to the bottom of the negative pressure cylinder.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the pushing mechanism includes a synchronous ring, a plurality of pushing swing arms are arranged in an annular array on the synchronous ring, one end of the pushing swing arm is rotatably connected to the synchronous ring, and the other end of the pushing swing arm is rotatably connected to the end of the synchronous swing arm; the synchronous ring is movably connected to the outer side wall of the flower suction tube through a linear drive;

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, sawtooth-shaped auxiliary protrusions are symmetrically arranged at positions on both sides of the cutting protrusion corresponding to the spoon-shaped edge of the flower picking claw;

[0014] The auxiliary protrusion can assist the cutting protrusion to cut off the flower branch when the flower is offset from the axis of the flower suction tube, thereby ensuring the cutting efficiency.

[0016] The sliding connection can dynamically adjust the flower-absorbing tube according to the height of the flowers; the positioning groove and the positioning block structure can prevent the flower-absorbing tube from rotating relative to the longitudinal sliding tube, thereby ensuring the stability of the flower-absorbing tube and reducing the possibility of the flower branches being twisted off.

[0017] As a further improvement of the present invention, a plurality of flower storage cylinders coaxial with the negative pressure cylinder are arranged in an array below the negative pressure cylinder, the flower storage cylinders are relatively fixed to the negative pressure cylinder through a frame, a secondary discharge valve mechanism for opening or closing the flower storage cylinders is arranged at the bottom of the flower storage cylinders, and the flower storage cylinders at the top of the array are connected to the bottom of the negative pressure cylinder through a main discharge valve mechanism;

[0018] The flower storage tube can store the flowers in different levels and compartments, preventing the open storage from squeezing the flowers at the bottom, and also reducing the oxidation effect on the flowers.

[0019] As a further improvement of the present invention, the main discharge valve mechanism and the auxiliary discharge valve mechanism both include a sliding frame fixed on the frame, the sliding frame includes two sets of sliding guide rails symmetrically arranged relative to the center of the negative pressure cylinder and the flower storage cylinder, the main discharge valve mechanism and the auxiliary discharge valve mechanism both include a gate plate slidably connected between the sliding guide rails, the upper surface of the gate plate is in sliding and sealing contact with the bottom of the negative pressure cylinder and the flower storage cylinder, and a push plate is provided at the end of the gate plate, and the push plate is movably connected to the end of the sliding guide rail through a reciprocating push mechanism;

[0020] The reciprocating gate plate has a simple structure and occupies less longitudinal space than the unfolded structure, so that the arrangement between the negative pressure cylinder and the flower storage cylinder can be more compact, the falling distance of the flowers is shorter, and the damage of the flowers is reduced.

[0021] As a further improvement of the present invention, the reciprocating pushing mechanism includes a reciprocating push rod, at least two groups of sliding seats are coaxially fixed on the sliding guide rail, and the reciprocating push rod and the sliding seat are rotatably connected; the reciprocating pushing mechanism also includes a second swinging motor fixed to the end of the sliding guide rail, and a pushing arm is fixed on the swinging output shaft of the second swinging motor, and the end of the pushing arm is movably connected to the end of the reciprocating push rod through an intermediate connecting rod, and the two ends of the intermediate end are respectively movably connected to the pushing arm and the reciprocating push rod through a universal ball head structure.

[0025] The second step is to move the flower suction tube of the flower picking mechanism to the top of the flower, and move the flower picking tube so that the slide is located inside the front end of the flower picking tube, and retract the flower picking claws by pushing the mechanism so that the cutting protrusion cuts off the flower branch;

[0026] The third step is to use the negative pressure equipment to suck the flowers into the negative pressure cylinder through the flower suction tube and the negative pressure connecting tube; after the suction, the flower picking claws are unfolded again through the pushing mechanism;

[0044] The second swing motor 33 drives the push arm 34 to rotate, and then the reciprocating push rod 32 is pulled by the intermediate connecting rod to realize the reciprocating movement of the gate plate 29, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the negative pressure cylinder 20 and the flower storage cylinder 27.

[0045] like Figure 6 The flower picking mechanism includes a flower sucking part and a flower picking part, wherein the flower sucking part includes a flower sucking tube 1, and a conversion frame is connected to the flower sucking tube 1. The conversion frame can be fixed on the operating wall to adjust the position of the end of the flower sucking tube 1 relative to the flower; a negative pressure connecting tube is fixed on the top side wall of the negative pressure cylinder 20, and the flower sucking part also includes a radial sliding tube 19 slidably sleeved on the negative pressure connecting tube, and the radial sliding tube 19 can move along the radial axis of the negative pressure cylinder 20, such as Figure 4 A spring tube structure arc tube 18 is connected to the radial sliding tube 19, and a longitudinal sliding tube 15 is fixedly connected to the end of the arc tube 18.

The radial sliding tube 19, the longitudinal sliding tube 15, and the arc tube 18 can enable the flower-absorbing tube 1 to move relative to the negative pressure cylinder 20 for easy adjustment.

[0046] like Figure 2 A flower picking part is arranged at the end of the flower-sucking tube 1, and the flower picking part includes a plurality of flower picking claws 2 with spoon-shaped structures. A plurality of swing seats 6 protruding toward the outside of the flower-sucking tube 1 are arranged at the end of the flower-sucking tube 1 in an integral bending manner. A synchronous swing arm 5 is riveted on the flower-sucking claw 2, and one end of the synchronous swing arm 5 is rotatably connected to the swing seat 6; a plurality of limit blocks 9 are arranged in an annular array on the outside of the flower-sucking tube 1, and an annular synchronous ring 7 is arranged on the outer ring of the flower-sucking tube 1 through the limit blocks 9, and a limit groove 10 slidably connected to the limit blocks 9 is arranged on the inner ring of the synchronous ring 7; a pushing swing arm 8 is slidably connected between the synchronous ring 7 and the synchronous swing arm 5, and the rotation plane of the pushing swing arm 8, the synchronous ring 7 and the synchronous swing arm 5 is located on the radial axis of the flower-sucking tube 1; the synchronous ring 7 is driven by a plurality of first swing motors 11 fixed to the outer wall of the flower-sucking tube 1, and the first A swing arm 12 is fixed on the motor shaft of the swing motor 11, and a slide bar 13 is vertically fixed on the end of the swing arm 12.

The swing of the swing arm 12 is driven by the first swing motor 11 to move the slide bar 13. The component force of the slide bar 13 on the radial axis of the flower-absorbing tube 1 pushes the synchronous ring 7 up and down. During the movement of the synchronous ring 7, the synchronous swing arm 5 is driven to swing by pushing the swing arm 8, thereby realizing the mutual opening and closing of the flower picking claw 2; wherein a cutting protrusion 3 is arranged at the front end of the flower picking claw 2, and auxiliary protrusions 4 are arranged at the positions on both sides of the flower picking claw 2 corresponding to the cutting protrusion 3, and the cutting protrusion 3 and the auxiliary protrusion 4 are both serrated structures.
