Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of daylily harvesting, specifically to a daylily harvesting machine and its harvesting method. Background Technology

[0002] Daylily, also known as golden needle flower, lemon daylily, etc., is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Hemerocallis in the family Asphodelaceae. Daylilies are of the best quality when harvested within 4 hours before flowering. Harvesting is usually done in the early morning. The harvesting criteria are that the flower buds are fully developed and about to open, with the middle section of the flower bud being golden yellow and the top being light yellow or yellowish-brown. The flower buds should feel elastic and firm when squeezed by hand, with obvious longitudinal grooves and significantly reduced nectar. In order to avoid damaging the daylilies during harvesting, the index finger and thumb are usually used to break the flower bud by bending the index finger and pushing the thumb forward from the bottom of the flower bud.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as CN218353308U, disclose a manual daylily harvester, which includes a harvesting head, a handle, and a collection box. The harvesting head is a duckbill-shaped movable head. The harvesting head and the handle are connected to the collection box via a harvesting tube. The harvesting head and the handle are movably connected by a hinge shaft. The harvesting head also includes a fixed part and a movable part. The movable part is hinged to the fixed part via a connecting rod. One end of the movable part has a long tongue that is a duckbill opening with an inwardly curved blade. The other end is a short tongue with a connecting post or connecting hole. Although it can harvest daylilies by cutting them with a knife, workers still need to carry collection bags and walk around the field to harvest the daylilies. This requires workers to stand and walk for long periods of time. Furthermore, when collecting daylilies, they are collected using collection items such as plastic frames. However, during the collection process, daylilies can easily accumulate at one end of the plastic frame, causing the daylilies to pile up too high and easily fall out of the plastic frame. Summary of the Invention

[0043] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0044] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described.

[0045] A daylily harvesting machine, such as Figures 1 to 10As shown, the machine includes a base 1, a frame 101 mounted on top of the base 1, a seat 3 mounted on top of the frame 101, a collection frame 5 inside the frame 101, a collection trough 2 mounted on top of the frame 101 directly above the collection frame 5, moving mechanisms 105 mounted on both sides of the base 1, a drive mechanism 6 mounted on top of the base 1 at the front of the frame 101, a power storage mechanism 4 mounted on top of the drive mechanism 6, a drive motor 601 mounted inside the drive mechanism 6, two sets of output ends of the drive motor 601 connected to drive shafts 602 respectively, a transmission belt 603 and an output pulley 7 connected to the outer side of each set of drive shafts 602, the output pulley 7 being connected to the moving mechanism 105 for transmission, thereby driving the harvester to move, and a sealing plate 104 is also provided at the front of the base 1 to protect the output pulley 7, a first linkage belt 91 and a second linkage belt 92 are mounted on both sides of the power storage mechanism 4 respectively, a guide plate 8 is installed inside the collection trough 2, and a movable plate is sleeved on top of the guide plate 8. 801, A rotating rod 802 is installed at the bottom end of the guide plate 8, and a first transmission gear 803 and a second transmission gear 804 are respectively installed on both sides of the rotating rod 802. A first linkage belt 91 is sleeved on the outside of the first transmission gear 803. A tooth groove 8031 ​​is opened on the outside of the first transmission gear 803. Multiple sets of internal tooth plates 911 are installed on the inner wall of the first linkage belt 91, and the internal tooth plates 911 mesh with the tooth groove 8031. The second linkage belt 92 is located on the side of the second transmission gear 804. The outer wall of the collection tank 2 is equipped with... The machine is equipped with a rotating disc 201, and a second linkage belt 92 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating disc 201. Multiple sets of external toothed plates 921 are installed on the outer wall of the second linkage belt 92, and the external toothed plates 921 mesh with the second transmission teeth 804. When the drive mechanism 6 drives the harvester to move, it will drive the first linkage belt 91 and the second linkage belt 92 to rotate synchronously. The first linkage belt 91 and the second linkage belt 92 drive the guide plate 8 to rotate in different directions, thereby classifying the daylilies and spreading them flat in the collection frame 5.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The frame 101 has pedals 102 installed on both sides. The frame 101 is fixedly connected to the moving mechanism 105 through the pedals 102. The moving mechanism 105 is usually a tracked structure. The frame 101 has a connecting frame 103 installed at the bottom of the seat 3 to facilitate the fixing of the moving mechanism 105.

[0047] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 Both sides of the energy storage mechanism 4 are connected to transmission gear sets. A protective box 401 is fixed on the outside of the transmission gear set. The protective box 401 protects each set of transmission belts and linkage belts. The two sets of transmission belts 603 are respectively connected to the first linkage belt 91 and the second linkage belt 92 through the transmission gear set.

[0048] Please see Figures 9 to 10 The movable plate 801 is hollow inside. A return spring 806 is provided between the movable plate 801 and the guide plate 8. The movable plate 801 is movably connected to the guide plate 8 through the return spring 806. The inner wall of the movable plate 801 is connected to the two sides of the return spring 806 with locking ribs 807. The outer wall of the guide plate 8 is provided with guide grooves 805 that match the locking ribs 807 to improve the stability of the movement of the movable plate 801.

[0049] Before use, first fully charge the battery storage mechanism 4. Then, insert the collection frame 5 into the frame 101, moving it below the collection trough 2. The worker sits on the seat 3 and starts the drive motor 601 in the drive mechanism 6. The drive motor 601 drives the two sets of drive shafts 602 to rotate, which in turn drives the output pulley 7 to rotate. The output pulley 7 then drives the moving mechanism 105 to rotate, thus moving the harvester as a whole, allowing it to move between daylily fields. When the worker moves into the daylily field, stop the drive mechanism 6. A person sits on seat 3 and collects daylilies on both sides. The collected daylilies are sent into collection trough 2 and guided by guide plate 8 to fall into collection frame 5. After the daylilies on both sides are collected, drive mechanism 6 is activated. Drive mechanism 6 moves the harvester to the side of unharvested daylilies, making it easier to collect them. This eliminates the need for workers to stand and walk for long periods of time and to carry daylilies on their backs, improving the harvesting efficiency, saving workers' energy, and reducing labor intensity.

[0050] When the harvester moves, the drive shaft 602 drives the transmission belt 603 to rotate. The transmission belt 603, through the transmission gear set, drives the first linkage belt 91 and the second linkage belt 92 to rotate synchronously. The first linkage belt 91 and the second linkage belt 92 have staggered toothed plates inside, so that the first transmission teeth 803 and the second transmission teeth 804 connected to them can mesh alternately, avoiding interference between the first linkage belt 91 and the second linkage belt 92. The first linkage belt 91 is sleeved on the outside of the first transmission teeth 803, and the second linkage belt 92 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating disk 201, and the outer toothed plate 921 on the outside of it meshes with the second transmission teeth 804. When the tooth groove 8031 ​​on the outside of the first transmission teeth 803 meshes with the inner toothed plate 911, the outer toothed plate 921 on the outside of the second linkage belt 92 separates. At this time, the first linkage belt 91 drives the first transmission teeth 803 to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the guide plate 8 to rotate clockwise as well, changing the tilt angle of the guide plate 8. As the guide plate 8 rotates, the movable plate 801 is pressed against the inner wall of the collection trough 2, and the return spring 806 ensures that the movable plate 801 remains in contact with the inner wall of the collection trough 2. This facilitates the guidance of the daylilies and aligns the guide plate 8 with other positions within the collection frame 5. At this time, the daylilies collected by the workers enter the collection trough 2 and are then transported to other positions within the collection frame 5 via the guide plate 8, preventing the daylilies from accumulating in the same position and facilitating their collection. Once the daylilies in that position have been collected, the drive mechanism 6 is activated to move the harvester. After multiple harvests, the first linkage belt 91 causes the inner toothed plate 911 to separate from the first transmission tooth 803. At this time, the outer toothed plate 921 on the outer side of the second linkage belt 92 meshes with the second transmission tooth 804, thereby causing the guide plate 8 to rotate counterclockwise. This causes the guide plate 8 to rotate in the opposite direction, allowing it to rotate cyclically within the collection trough 2 and ensuring that the daylilies are evenly spread within the collection frame 5.

The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, but such modifications, substitutions, and variations are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
