Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sugarcane planting technology, and in particular to a sugarcane bud-removing and seed soaking production line. Background Technology

[0002] In current sugarcane cultivation, to improve sugarcane utilization and survival rates, the bud-picking method is commonly used to obtain seed buds. This involves using a bud-picking device to remove the sugarcane buds. After being picked, the sugarcane buds are usually placed in a disinfection tank for sterilization. After sterilization, they are coated, which not only kills fungi on the surface of the seed stalk but also makes the seed stalk easier to store and reduces the incidence of diseases during seedling growth.

[0003] Current technology typically involves placing sugarcane buds into a material frame, then sterilizing them in a disinfection tank before placing them in a coating tank for seed soaking. While the material frame can be transferred via conveyor belts, the feeding and unloading of the sugarcane, as well as the return of the material frame to the pre-disinfection tank conveyor belt after coating, still require manual operation. This is not only labor-intensive, but the disinfectant and coating solutions may also pose health risks to the operators. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the above shortcomings, this invention provides a sugarcane bud soaking production line, which can solve the problems of high labor intensity and impact on the health of operators caused by the existing method of transporting sugarcane buds through material frames for disinfection and coating.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0039] 1. This invention enables the removal of sugarcane buds and automatically feeds the sugarcane buds into a basket at the disinfection mechanism for disinfection. After disinfection, the sugarcane buds are taken out by the feeding mechanism and fed into a basket at the coating mechanism for coating. The coated sugarcane buds are taken out by the feeding mechanism. The sugarcane buds enter and exit the turntable mechanism automatically.

[0041] 3. The sugarcane bud removal device of the present invention can remove buds from both sides without the need for an additional mechanism to rotate the sugarcane so that the sugarcane buds on both sides rotate in turn to be directly under the bud removal mechanism to remove buds. This reduces the use of the mechanism, lowers costs, reduces maintenance difficulty, and improves the overall bud removal efficiency.

[0042] 4. The position of the bud-removing mechanism can be adjusted according to the position of the two sugarcane buds, so that the two sugarcane buds can be removed at the same time, thereby improving the bud-removing efficiency;

[0043] 5. When a bad bud is identified by the identification technology, it is directly conveyed forward without removing the bud, or the bud is removed first, and then the good bud and bad bud are collected separately. The collected sugarcane buds can be screened a second or third time. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0061] Please refer to Figures 1 to 12 This invention provides a sugarcane bud removal and soaking production line, which includes sugarcane bud removal equipment, a disinfection mechanism, a coating mechanism, etc.

[0062] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 8 The sugarcane bud removal equipment includes a frame 10, a sugarcane conveying mechanism 20, an automatic identification mechanism 30, a bud removal device 40, and a controller.

[0063] The frame 10 is used to support the components of the sugarcane bud removal equipment. It has an overall frame structure and is preferably welded from steel profiles.

[0064] The sugarcane conveying mechanism 20 is mounted on the frame 10 to drive and convey sugarcane. Sugarcane is placed on the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20 and then conveyed to the bud-removing device 40 for bud removal. The sugarcane conveying mechanism 20 can be any existing sugarcane conveying device, as long as it can achieve linear conveying of the sugarcane. In this exemplary embodiment, the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20 includes a conveying wheel set and a conveying drive mechanism for driving the conveying wheel set to rotate. There are multiple conveying wheel sets, each including an upper pressure wheel 21 and a lower pressure wheel 22. The upper pressure wheel 21 is located above the lower pressure wheel 22. Both the upper pressure wheel 21 and the lower pressure wheel 22 are provided with grooves, forming a space for placing the sugarcane. The lower pressure wheel 22 is rotatably mounted on the frame 10 via a rotating shaft. The upper pressure wheel 21 is mounted on an adaptive pressing mechanism via a rotating shaft. The adaptive pressing mechanism is located at both ends of the rotating shaft and is mounted on the frame 10. The adaptive pressing mechanism includes a mounting bracket 23, a crossbar 24, and a tension spring 25. The mounting bracket 23 is fixedly mounted on the frame 10 and has vertical grooves on both sides. The two ends of the crossbar 24 are located in the grooves on both sides of the mounting bracket 23 so that the crossbar 24 can slide vertically along the grooves. The tension spring 25 is set on both ends of the crossbar 24, and the other end is connected to the frame 10 so that the crossbar 24 has a downward tendency. The two ends of the shaft of the upper pressure roller 21 are respectively connected to the crossbar 24. When the crossbar 24 has a downward tendency, the upper pressure roller 21 also has a downward tendency, so as to press the sugarcane downward. The conveying drive mechanism includes a conveying drive motor 26 and a conveying transmission assembly. The conveying drive motor 26 is mounted on the frame 10. The conveying transmission assembly includes a synchronous belt 27 and two synchronous pulleys 28. One synchronous pulley 28 is mounted on the shaft of the lower pressure roller 22, and the other synchronous pulley 28 is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 26. The synchronous belt 27 is sleeved on the two synchronous pulleys 28 so that when the drive motor 26 is running, it can drive the shaft of the lower pressure roller 22 to rotate via the synchronous belt 27, thereby driving the lower pressure roller 22 to rotate. In practice, the sugarcane is placed between the grooves of the upper pressure roller 21 and the lower pressure roller 22. The upper pressure roller 21, under the action of the adaptive pressing mechanism, has the function of pressing down the sugarcane. When the lower pressure roller 22 rotates, it can drive the sugarcane to move towards the bud-removing device 40.

[0065] Preferably, in some embodiments, multiple sets of conveyor rollers share a single drive motor 26. In this case, an additional synchronous wheel 28 is provided at the end of the shaft of the lower pressure roller 22 of adjacent conveyor roller sets. These two synchronous wheels 28 are directly fitted with a synchronous belt 27. At this time, the shaft of the lower pressure roller 22 can be driven to rotate through the synchronous belt 27, thereby driving the lower pressure roller 22 to rotate.

[0066] An automatic identification mechanism 30 is mounted on the frame 10 to identify sugarcane buds on the sugarcane. The automatic identification mechanism 30 employs existing technology and includes a camera to identify the position of the sugarcane buds through video recording. The automatic identification mechanism 30 is positioned beside the conveying channel of the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20, meaning multiple points are set along the entire path of the conveying channel. The automatic identification mechanism 30 identifies the position of the sugarcane buds on the sugarcane, accurately determining their location. Combined with the conveying of the sugarcane by the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20, it can accurately deliver the sugarcane buds to the bud-removing device 40 for removal.

[0067] The bud removal device 40 is mounted on the frame 10. The bud removal device 40 includes two bud removal mechanisms 41 for removing sugarcane buds. The two bud removal mechanisms 41 are located on both sides of the sugarcane being conveyed by the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20. The sugarcane buds are located on both sides. During conveying, the sugarcane is conveyed with the sugarcane buds on both sides. When the sugarcane bud on one side is directly under the bud removal mechanism 41 on the same side, the bud removal mechanism 41 on the same side removes the sugarcane bud. When the sugarcane bud on the other side is directly under the bud removal mechanism 41 on the same side, the bud removal mechanism 41 on the same side removes the sugarcane bud on the other side. This allows for bud removal from both sides, eliminating the need for an additional mechanism to rotate the sugarcane so that the sugarcane buds on both sides rotate to be directly under the bud removal mechanism 41 in turn to remove the buds. This reduces the use of additional mechanisms, lowers costs, reduces maintenance difficulty, and improves the overall bud removal efficiency.

[0068] The controller is electrically connected to the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20, the automatic identification mechanism 30, and the bud-removing mechanism 41. The controller receives signals from the automatic identification mechanism 30 to control the start and stop of the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20 and to control the bud-removing mechanism 41 to remove sugarcane buds from the sugarcane. In one exemplary embodiment, the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20 conveys sugarcane to the bud-removing device 40 for bud removal. During conveying, the automatic identification mechanism 30 identifies the position of the sugarcane buds on the sugarcane and transmits the signal to the controller. Combined with the conveying speed of the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20, when the sugarcane bud is delivered directly below the bud-removing mechanism 41 on the same side, the controller controls the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20 to temporarily stop and simultaneously controls the bud-removing mechanism 41 to remove the bud. Since the automatic identification mechanism 30 and the bud-removing mechanism 41 are provided on both sides, the controller can control the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20 to temporarily stop and simultaneously control the bud-removing mechanism 41 to remove the bud when the sugarcane bud is directly below the bud-removing mechanism 41.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment, sensors can be installed on both sides below the bud removal mechanism 41 to perform multiple identifications of sugarcane buds to ensure identification accuracy, so as to ensure that when sugarcane buds pass by, the sugarcane can be stopped and the buds can be removed by the bud removal mechanism 41.

[0070] The camera of the automatic identification mechanism 30 is set on the sugarcane conveying channel in front of the bud-removing knife. It can take a picture of a sugarcane at a time, take a picture in advance and determine the position of the sugarcane bud before removing the bud.

[0071] In a preferred embodiment, one bud-removing mechanism 41 is fixedly mounted on the frame 10, while the other bud-removing mechanism 41 is driven to move by a first driving mechanism. The moving direction of the bud-removing mechanism 41 driven by the first driving mechanism is parallel to the sugarcane conveying direction. Considering that the spacing between buds on the sugarcane gradually increases from the head to the tail, meaning that the distribution spacing between sugarcane buds is unequal along the length of the sugarcane, if both bud-removing mechanisms 41 are fixedly mounted, only one side of the buds can be removed at a time. Based on this, in order to simultaneously remove buds from both sides, the bud-removing device of the present invention has one bud-removing mechanism 41 fixedly mounted on the frame 10, and the other bud-removing mechanism 41 driven to move by the first driving mechanism in a direction parallel to the sugarcane conveying direction. When the front sugarcane bud is directly below the front bud-removing mechanism 41, the position of the rear sugarcane bud is also determined. At this time, by moving the rear bud-removing mechanism 41 to directly above the rear sugarcane bud, both sugarcane buds are simultaneously located directly below the two bud-removing mechanisms 41. By simultaneously activating the bud-removing mechanisms 41, bud removal of sugarcane buds on both sides can be achieved simultaneously, thereby improving bud removal efficiency.

[0072] The bud-removing device 40 of the present invention can remove buds from both sides simultaneously. When removing buds simultaneously, since the two bud-removing mechanisms 41 apply force to both sides at the same time, the forces on both sides of the sugarcane are basically canceled out, and the sugarcane will not rotate or wobble. Therefore, there is no need to set up an additional clamping device, which can be used in conjunction with the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20 to ensure that the sugarcane position is constant when removing buds. In the case of removing buds on one side at a time, the bud-removing mechanism 41 on one side removes the bud, while the bud-removing mechanism 41 on the other side clamps the sugarcane from top to bottom, which can also ensure that the sugarcane position is constant when removing buds.

[0073] The bud removal device 40 also includes a support plate 42, which is horizontally mounted on the frame 10. The support plate 42 has bud removal holes 43 at positions corresponding to the two bud removal mechanisms 41, and the bud removal holes 43 penetrate the support plate 42. The sugarcane bud removal device 40 includes a bud removal device housing 411 and a bud removal mechanism 41, which includes a bud removal drive mechanism 412 and a bud removal knife 413. The bud removal device housing 411 is mounted on a support plate 42 and has an open bottom. The bud removal drive mechanism 412 is installed inside the bud removal device housing 411. The bud removal drive mechanism 412 is preferably a linear drive mechanism such as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric actuator, which can realize linear drive of the sugarcane bud removal knife 413. The sugarcane bud removal knife 413 is installed at the bottom of the bud removal drive mechanism 412 so that it can be driven up and down by the bud removal drive mechanism 412. The sugarcane bud removal knife 413 is arranged opposite to the bud removal hole 43. When the sugarcane bud removal knife 413 removes the bud downwards, it can enter the bud removal hole 43, and the removed sugarcane bud falls down from the bud removal hole 43.

[0074] In this exemplary embodiment, the bud-removing hole 43 corresponding to the fixed bud-removing mechanism 41 is a strip-shaped hole with a shorter length. Since the position of the bud-removing mechanism 41 is fixed, the vertical projection position of the sugarcane bud-removing knife 413 is fixed. At this time, the bud-removing hole 43 with a shorter length is exactly aligned with the sugarcane bud-removing knife 413. The bud-removing hole 43 corresponding to the movable bud-removing mechanism 41 is a strip-shaped hole with a longer length. Since the position of the bud-removing mechanism 41 is movable, the vertical projection position of the sugarcane bud-removing knife 413 is not fixed. At this time, the bud-removing hole 43 with a longer length can cover the moving position of the sugarcane bud-removing knife 413, ensuring that no matter where the bud is removed, it can be positioned above the bud-removing hole 43, so that the sugarcane bud can fall down from the bud-removing hole 43.

[0075] The first driving mechanism includes a slide rail 441, a slider 442, a first driving motor 443, and a first lead screw 444. The slide rail 441 is fixedly installed inside the bud removal device housing 411, and the extension direction of the slide rail 441 is parallel to the sugarcane conveying direction. The slider 442 is slidably installed inside the slide rail 441 and connected to the bud removal driving mechanism 412 of the bud removal mechanism 41 driven by the first driving mechanism. The first driving motor 443 is fixedly installed on the bud removal device housing 411. The first lead screw 444 is connected to the first driving motor 443 so that it is driven to rotate by the first driving motor 443. The extension direction of the first lead screw 444 is consistent with the extension direction of the slide rail 441. A screw hole is provided on the slider 42, and the first lead screw 444 is connected to the slider 442 through the screw hole. In practice, the first drive motor 443 drives the first lead screw 444 to rotate. Under the action of the first lead screw 444, the slider 442 can move along the slide rail 441. Forward and reverse rotation can change the direction of movement of the slider 442. The slider 442 is connected to the bud-picking drive mechanism 412. In other words, the bud-picking drive mechanism 412 is installed on the slider 442 and is driven by the slider 442 to move to the top of the corresponding sugarcane bud.

[0076] In a preferred embodiment, the sugarcane bud-removing knife 413 has a bud-removing knife receiving cavity 414 extending upward from the bottom. An elastic element 415 is provided within the bud-removing knife receiving cavity 414, and a pushing piece 416 is provided on the elastic element 415 near the bottom opening of the bud-removing knife receiving cavity 414. Commonly used sugarcane bud-removing knives 413 are circular or arc-shaped, with a thin and sharp bottom. The blade at the bottom is used to cut the sugarcane to remove the sugarcane bud. When removing buds, if the cut sugarcane bud is thin, it generally will not remain inside the circular or arc-shaped cavity of the sugarcane bud-removing knife 413 and will fall directly. However, for some larger seed stalks, they may remain inside the circular or arc-shaped cavity of the sugarcane bud-removing knife 413, thus affecting the falling of the sugarcane bud and subsequent bud removal. Based on this, the sugarcane bud-removing knife 413 of the present invention has a bud-removing knife receiving cavity 414 extending upward from the bottom. When removing buds, the entire sugarcane bud-removing knife 413 moves downward quickly. Before the sugarcane bud is removed from the sugarcane, it applies a force to the pushing plate 416 to compress the elastic member 415. After the sugarcane bud is cut and completely removed from the sugarcane, under the action of the elastic member 415, the pushing plate 416 is pushed towards the port of the sugarcane bud-removing knife 413, and the sugarcane bud is pushed downward. In this way, it can be ensured that the sugarcane bud will not be stuck in the sugarcane bud-removing knife 413, thus ensuring the efficient removal of buds.

[0077] A first conveyor belt 11 is installed on the frame 10, located below the bud-removing hole 43. After the sugarcane buds are removed by the bud-removing knife 413, they fall onto the first conveyor belt 11 and are then transported to the next stage. A second conveyor belt 12 is installed on the frame 10, located below the first conveyor belt 11, with both ends of the second conveyor belt 12 positioned on either side of the first conveyor belt 11. At the bottom of the support plate 42, next to the two bud-picking holes 43, there are rotating plates 45 and a second drive motor 46 for driving the rotating plates 45 to rotate. When the second drive motor 46 drives the rotating plates 45 to rotate to an upright position, it does not block the bud-picking holes 43, allowing sugarcane buds falling from the bud-picking holes 43 to fall directly onto the first conveyor belt 11. When the second drive motor 46 drives the rotating plates 45 to rotate to an inclined position, the sugarcane buds falling from the bud-picking holes 43 can slide along the inclined rotating plates 45 onto the second conveyor belt 12. The two rotating plates 45 are located between the two bud-picking holes 43, and when rotating, the two rotating plates 45 rotate to the side, covering the two bud-picking holes 43 one by one without covering the other bud-picking hole 43. That is, one rotating plate 45 can only affect one bud-picking hole 43. The existing identification device can not only identify the position of sugarcane buds, but also has a certain accuracy in identifying the quality of sugarcane buds. The automatic identification mechanism 30 uses existing identification devices to identify both the location and quality of sugarcane buds. Extending to the vicinity of the two bud-removing mechanisms 41, the mechanism identifies the quality of the sugarcane buds at the corresponding mechanism. If the bud is good, the second drive motor 46 keeps the rotating plate 45 upright, not obstructing the bud-removing hole 43, allowing the sugarcane buds falling from the hole 43 to fall directly onto the first conveyor belt 11. The first conveyor belt 11 then transports good buds. If the bud is bad, bud removal is not performed, or bud removal continues, but the second drive motor 46 drives the rotating plate 45 to an inclined position, allowing the sugarcane buds falling from the hole 43 to slide along the inclined plate 45 onto the second conveyor belt 12. The second conveyor belt 12 then transports bad buds. This method allows for the separate transport of good and bad buds. In this exemplary embodiment, even if the automatic identification mechanism 30 identifies a bud as bad, bud removal is still performed.

[0078] In a preferred embodiment, the end attachment of the first conveyor belt 11 is provided with a first sugarcane bud identification mechanism 31 for identifying the quality of sugarcane buds. Below the end of the first conveyor belt 11, a material separating mechanism 50 for separating good and bad sugarcane buds is provided. A third conveyor belt 13 is provided on the frame 10. The front end of the third conveyor belt 13 is located below the discharge port of the material separating mechanism 50 for distributing bad sugarcane buds, and the end of the third conveyor belt 13 is located above the second conveyor belt 12. The material separating mechanism 50 includes a material separating hopper 51, with a feed inlet 52 at the top and two discharge ports 53 at the bottom. A material separating motor 54 is provided on the material separating hopper 51, and a material separating plate 55 is provided on the output shaft of the material separating motor 54 to block one of the discharge ports 53 and guide the material into the other discharge port 53.

[0079] Considering the accuracy issue in identifying good and bad sugarcane buds, a first sugarcane bud identification mechanism 31 is installed at the end of the first conveyor belt 11 to perform secondary identification on the sugarcane buds conveyed by the first conveyor belt 11. Since there are fewer interference factors at this location, sorting accuracy can be improved. By setting up a material distribution mechanism 50, if a bud is identified as good, it enters through the inlet 52 of the distribution hopper 51 and exits through one outlet 53 of the distribution mechanism 50, falling onto the first sugarcane bud conveyor belt 61. If a bud is identified as bad, it enters 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, so the sugarcane bud exits through the other outlet 53 of the distribution mechanism 50 and falls onto the third conveyor belt 13, where it is conveyed and falls onto the second conveyor belt 12.

[0080] The end attachment of the second conveyor belt 12 is equipped with a second sugarcane bud identification mechanism 32 for identifying good and bad sugarcane buds. Below the end of the second conveyor belt 12, a separating mechanism 50 is provided for separating good and bad sugarcane buds. The structure of this separating mechanism 50 is consistent with the structure of the separating mechanism 50 described above. By providing the separating mechanism 50, after the second sugarcane bud identification mechanism 32 identifies good and bad buds, the good and bad buds can be separated.

[0081] A fourth conveyor belt 14 is provided on the frame 10. The front end of the fourth conveyor belt 14 is located below the discharge port of the material distribution mechanism 50 for distributing sugarcane buds, which is below the end of the second conveyor belt 12. The end of the fourth conveyor belt 14 is located below the end of the first conveyor belt 11. By setting up a material distribution mechanism 50 in conjunction with a fourth conveyor belt 14, if the sugarcane buds on the second conveyor belt 12 are identified as bad buds, they enter through the inlet 52 of the material distribution hopper 51 and exit through one outlet 53 of the material distribution mechanism 50. If they are identified as good buds, they enter through the inlet 52 of the material distribution hopper 51. The material distribution motor 54 drives the material distribution plate 55 to rotate to the other side, and the sugarcane buds exit from the other outlet 53 of the material distribution mechanism 50 and fall onto the fourth conveyor belt 14. The fourth conveyor belt 14 is used to transport the sugarcane buds, and the end positions of the first conveyor belt 11 and the fourth conveyor belt 14 are basically the same. The good sugarcane buds transported by the two fall from their ends and fall into the same position, all falling onto the first sugarcane bud conveyor belt 61. The first sugarcane bud conveyor belt 61 transports them to the subsequent process for soaking.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figures 9 to 12 The disinfection mechanism includes a disinfection pool 81 and a turntable mechanism 90 disposed at the disinfection pool 81. The coating mechanism includes a coating pool 82 and a turntable mechanism 90 disposed at the coating pool 82.

[0083] The rotary mechanism 90 of the disinfection mechanism and the coating mechanism has the same structure. The rotary mechanism 90 includes two bases 91, which are arranged opposite each other. Rotary disks 92 are rotatably mounted on the opposite sides of the two bases 91 via bearings. A rotary disk motor 93 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of one of the bases 91. The two rotary disks 92 are connected by a connecting rod 94. The rotary disk motor 93 is connected to the connecting rod 94 via a reducer to drive the connecting rod 94 to rotate, thereby driving the rotary disk 92 to rotate. Multiple radially extending support rods 95 are provided on the rotary disk 92. The support rods 95 of the two rotary disks 92 are arranged one-to-one. A basket 96 is rotatably mounted between the two corresponding support rods 95. Each basket 96 has an upwardly extending end plate 98 at both ends. An end shaft is provided at the top outer side of the end plate 98. The basket 96 is connected to the support rod 95 via the end shaft. Under its own weight, the hanging basket 96 always maintains an open-top position when unaffected by external forces. Therefore, when sugarcane sprouts are placed inside the basket 96, they will not fall out. However, if the basket 96 is subjected to external force, causing it to flip and turn downwards, the sugarcane sprouts will fall out. Since the hanging baskets 96 are roughly circularly distributed at the ends of the support rods 95 of the rotating disk 92, each basket 96 essentially moves in a circular motion when the rotating disk 92 rotates. When a basket 96 is close to the ground, it will enter either the disinfection pool 81 or the coating pool 82. When the basket 96 enters the disinfection pool 81, the sugarcane sprouts inside are immersed in the disinfectant solution for disinfection. When the basket 96 enters the coating pool 82, the sugarcane sprouts inside are immersed in the coating solution for coating.

[0084] A storage mechanism 70 is provided below the end of the first sugarcane bud conveyor belt 61. This storage mechanism 70 is used to temporarily store the sugarcane buds conveyed by the first sugarcane bud conveyor belt 61 and send them into the basket 96 of the turntable mechanism at the disinfection mechanism. Considering that it is difficult to ensure that the sugarcane buds fall accurately into the basket 96 of the turntable mechanism at the disinfection mechanism by dropping material from the end of the first sugarcane bud conveyor belt 61, the storage mechanism 70 is provided to temporarily collect the sugarcane buds conveyed by the first sugarcane bud conveyor belt 61 in the storage mechanism 70. When the turntable mechanism of the disinfection mechanism drives one of its baskets 96 to rotate to an angle below the storage mechanism 70, the storage mechanism 70 is opened to allow the sugarcane buds to fall accurately into the basket 96.

[0085] A second sugarcane bud conveyor belt 62 is provided between the disinfection mechanism and the coating mechanism. Next to the turntable mechanism at the disinfection mechanism, a feeding mechanism 100 is provided to flip the basket 96 on the turntable mechanism so that the sugarcane buds fall onto the second sugarcane bud conveyor belt 62. This feeding mechanism 100 is located behind the turntable mechanism at the disinfection mechanism and is used to flip the basket 96, which moves from a lower to a higher position. By flipping the basket 96, the basket 96 flips open downwards, and the sugarcane buds fall out of the basket 96 and onto the second sugarcane bud conveyor belt 62.

[0086] A storage mechanism 70 is provided below the end of the second sugarcane bud conveyor belt 62. This storage mechanism 70 is used to temporarily store the sugarcane buds conveyed by the second sugarcane bud conveyor belt 62. Similar to the storage mechanism 70 at the end of the second sugarcane bud conveyor belt 62, this storage mechanism 70 temporarily collects the sugarcane buds conveyed by the second sugarcane bud conveyor belt 62. When the turntable mechanism of the coating mechanism drives a basket 96 on it to rotate to a position diagonally below the storage mechanism 70, the storage mechanism 70 is opened so that the sugarcane buds can accurately fall into the basket 96.

[0087] Next to the turntable mechanism at the coating mechanism, there is a feeding mechanism 100 for flipping the basket 96 on the turntable mechanism to allow the sugarcane buds to fall. The feeding mechanism 100 is located behind the turntable mechanism at the coating mechanism and is used to flip the basket 96 that moves from a lower position to a higher position. By flipping the basket 96, the basket 96 flips open downwards, and the sugarcane buds fall out of the basket 96. A third sugarcane bud conveyor belt 63 is set at the location of the feeding mechanism 100. At this time, the sugarcane buds fall onto the third sugarcane bud conveyor belt 63 and are transported to the subsequent process by the third sugarcane bud conveyor belt 63.

[0088] The supports for the first conveyor belt 11, the second conveyor belt 12, the third conveyor belt 13, the fourth conveyor belt 14, the first sugarcane bud conveyor belt 61, the second sugarcane bud conveyor belt 62, and the third sugarcane bud conveyor belt 63 are not shown in the attached drawings.

[0089] In a preferred embodiment, the storage mechanism includes a discharge hopper 71, a discharge hopper baffle 72 is rotatably disposed at the bottom opening of the discharge hopper 71, and a discharge hopper motor 73 is disposed on the discharge hopper 71 for driving the discharge hopper baffle 72 to rotate. When temporarily storing sugarcane sprouts, the discharge hopper motor 73 drives the discharge hopper baffle 72 to rotate to the state of blocking the bottom opening of the discharge hopper 71. At this time, the sugarcane sprouts are located in the discharge hopper 71, realizing the temporary storage of a batch of sugarcane sprouts. When a certain amount of sugarcane sprouts are stored and the basket 96 rotates to the lower side of the storage mechanism 70, the discharge hopper motor 73 drives the discharge hopper baffle 72 to rotate to open the storage mechanism 70. At this time, the discharge hopper baffle 72 releases the blockage of the bottom opening of the discharge hopper 71 and can form a slope. The sugarcane sprouts come out of the discharge hopper 71 and slide down into the basket 96 along with the slope formed by the discharge hopper baffle 72. This method ensures that the sugarcane sprouts conveyed by the conveyor belt can accurately enter the basket 96.

[0090] The unloading mechanism 100 includes an unloading bracket 101, a support platform 102 on the unloading bracket 101, an unloading slide rail 103 on the support platform 102, an unloading slider 104 slidably mounted on the unloading slide rail 103, and an electric push rod 105 fixedly mounted on the support platform 102 for driving the unloading slider 104 to slide. An unloading motor 107 is mounted on the unloading slider 104, and an adapter block 106 is provided at the end of the output shaft of the unloading motor 107. The adapter block 106 is a square block.

[0091] The portion of the basket 96 connected to the support rod 95 extends out of the support rod 95 and is provided with an adapter hole 97. In this exemplary embodiment, the end shaft of an end plate 98 passes through the support rod 95 and is provided with an adapter hole 97 at its end. The adapter hole 97 is a square hole that allows the adapter block 106 to enter. In practice, when the basket 96 rotates to a certain position, the adapter hole 97 aligns with the adapter block 106. At this time, the rotating disk motor 93 stops driving the rotating disk 92 to rotate, and the electric push rod 105 pushes the feeding slider 104 to slide closer to the basket 96, allowing the adapter block 106 to enter the adapter hole 97. Then, the feeding motor 107 drives the adapter block 106 to rotate slowly, causing the basket 96 to rotate and flip, with the basket 96 flipped open downwards, and the sugarcane sprouts fall out of the basket 96. After the basket 96 rotates one revolution, the electric push rod 105 retracts, causing the feeding slider 104 to slide away from the basket 96 and reset.

[0092] The following is an exemplary implementation: Sugarcane 60 is placed on the sugarcane conveying mechanism 20. The upper pressure roller 21 and lower pressure roller 22 of the two sets of conveying rollers clamp the sugarcane 60. Under the action of the adaptive pressing mechanism, the upper pressure roller 21 presses the sugarcane downward. The drive motor 26 of the conveying transmission component drives the shaft of the lower pressure roller 22 to rotate through the synchronous belt 27, thereby driving the lower pressure roller 22 to rotate, thus realizing the conveying of sugarcane 60. The automatic identification mechanism 30 identifies the position of the sugarcane buds on the sugarcane 60 and accurately obtains the position of the sugarcane buds on the sugarcane. When the sugarcane buds of the sugarcane 60 are delivered to the bud removal device 40, the sugarcane stops moving. One side of the sugarcane bud is directly opposite the fixed bud removal mechanism 41. Then, the other bud removal device, driven by the first drive mechanism, is controlled to move. The bud removal mechanism 41 moves to directly above the sugarcane bud on the other side. The bud removal drive mechanism 412 drives the bud removal knife 413 downward to remove the sugarcane bud. The removed sugarcane bud falls from the bud removal hole 43. After the bud removal is completed, the bud removal drive mechanism 412 drives the bud removal knife 413 to return to its original position. The automatic identification mechanism 30 drives the sugarcane to move so that the next two sugarcane buds are positioned at the bud removal device 40 for the next round of bud removal. The automatic identification mechanism 30 identifies and distinguishes between good and bad buds. The second drive motor 46 keeps the rotating plate 45 in an upright position so as not to block the bud removal hole 43, so that the sugarcane buds falling from the bud removal hole 43 can fall directly onto the first conveyor belt 11. At this time, the first conveyor belt 11 is used to transport good buds. If the sugarcane bud is identified as a bad bud, the second drive motor 46 will then... The drive motor 46 drives the rotating plate 45 to rotate to an inclined state, allowing the sugarcane buds falling from the bud-picking hole 43 to slide down the inclined rotating plate 45 onto the second conveyor belt 12. The second conveyor belt 12 is used to transport damaged buds. The sugarcane buds on the first conveyor belt 11 are identified by the first sugarcane bud identification mechanism 31 before falling from its end. The sugarcane buds falling from the end of the first conveyor belt 11 enter the material distribution mechanism 50 near its end. The material distribution mechanism 50 distributes the sugarcane buds. Good sugarcane buds are directly discharged through one outlet 53 of the material distribution mechanism 50, while damaged sugarcane buds are driven by the material distribution motor 54 to rotate the material distribution plate 55 and fall through the other outlet 53 onto the third conveyor belt 13, where they are transported and fall onto the second conveyor belt 12. The sugarcane buds on the second conveyor belt 12... Before falling from its end, the sugarcane sprouts are identified by the second sugarcane sprout identification mechanism 32. The sugarcane sprouts falling from the end of the second conveyor belt 12 enter the material distribution mechanism 50 near its end. The material distribution mechanism 50 distributes the sugarcane sprouts. Damaged sugarcane sprouts go directly out through one outlet 53 of the material distribution mechanism 50, while good sugarcane sprouts fall through another outlet 53 onto the fourth conveyor belt 14 under the action of the material distribution plate 55 driven by the material distribution motor 54 and are transported by the fourth conveyor belt 14. The end of the fourth conveyor belt 14 is located below the end of the first conveyor belt 11. Both the first conveyor belt 11 and the fourth conveyor belt 14 are used to transport good sprouts, and the falling positions are basically the same, both falling onto the first sugarcane sprout conveyor belt 61, which then transports them to the subsequent process for soaking.Sugarcane buds conveyed by the first sugarcane bud conveyor belt 61 enter the storage mechanism 70 at the end of the first sugarcane bud conveyor belt 61. When the basket 96 of the disinfection mechanism rotates to a position diagonally below the storage mechanism 70, the rotating disk motor 93 temporarily stops driving the rotating disk 92 to rotate, and the discharge hopper motor 73 drives the discharge hopper baffle 72 to rotate to open the storage mechanism 70. At this time, the discharge hopper baffle 72 releases the blockage on the bottom opening of the discharge hopper 71 and can form a slope, allowing the sugarcane buds to come out of the discharge hopper 71 and follow the discharge hopper baffle 72. The landslide formed by step 2 falls into the basket 96. The discharge hopper motor 73 drives the discharge hopper baffle 72 to reset and store the sugarcane sprouts that subsequently enter. Then, the rotating disk motor 93 continues to drive the connecting rod 94 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating disk 92 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating disk 92 causes the basket 96, which just contains sugarcane sprouts, to move downwards and enter the disinfection tank 81, where it stops for a period of time to achieve disinfection of the sugarcane sprouts by the disinfectant solution in the tank. After disinfection, the sugarcane sprouts, driven by the rotating disk motor 93, rotate with the basket 96 to the corresponding position of the disinfection mechanism. The feeding mechanism 100 aligns the adapter hole 97 with the adapter block 106. At this time, the rotating disk motor 93 stops driving the rotating disk 92 to rotate, and the electric push rod 105 pushes the feeding slider 104 to slide closer to the basket 96, allowing the adapter block 106 to enter the adapter hole 97. Then, the feeding motor 107 drives the adapter block 106 to rotate slowly, causing the basket 96 to rotate and flip, with the basket 96 flipped open downwards. The sugarcane sprouts fall out of the basket 96 and onto the second sugarcane sprout conveyor belt 62. After the basket 96 rotates one revolution, the electric push rod 105... 5. The retraction of the feeding slider 104 drives it to slide and reset away from the basket 96; During the process of the rotating disk 92 driving the basket 96 in the disinfection pool to rotate and leave, if another basket 96 passes under the storage mechanism 70 at the end of the first sugarcane bud conveyor belt 61, the rotating disk motor 93 temporarily stops driving the rotating disk 92 to rotate, and the storage mechanism 70 sends the stored sugarcane buds into the basket 96 so that another basket 96 is loaded with sugarcane buds. Each basket 96 rotates repeatedly around the circumference, which can realize the recycling to achieve disinfection;Sugarcane buds falling from the basket 96 of the disinfection mechanism onto the second sugarcane bud conveyor belt 62 enter the storage mechanism 70 at the end of the second sugarcane bud conveyor belt 62. When the basket 96 of the coating mechanism rotates to a position diagonally below the storage mechanism 70, the rotating disk motor 93 temporarily stops driving the rotating disk 92 to rotate, and the discharge hopper motor 73 drives the discharge hopper baffle 72 to rotate to open the storage mechanism 70. At this time, the discharge hopper baffle 72 releases the blockage on the bottom opening of the discharge hopper 71 and forms a slope, allowing the sugarcane buds to exit from the discharge hopper 71. As the sugarcane buds slide down the slope formed by the discharge hopper baffle 72 into the basket 96, the discharge hopper motor 73 drives the discharge hopper baffle 72 to reset and store the sugarcane buds that subsequently enter. Then, the rotary disk motor 93 continues to drive the connecting rod 94 to rotate, thereby driving the rotary disk 92 to rotate. The rotation of the rotary disk 92 causes the basket 96, which just contains sugarcane buds, to move downwards and enter the coating tank 82, where it stops for a period of time. This allows the sugarcane buds to be coated with the coating liquid in the tank. After coating, the sugarcane buds, driven by the rotary disk motor 93, rotate with the basket 96 to the coating mechanism. The feeding mechanism 100 at the corresponding position aligns the adapter hole 97 with the adapter block 106. At this time, the rotating disk motor 93 stops driving the rotating disk 92 to rotate, and the electric push rod 105 pushes the feeding slider 104 to slide closer to the basket 96, allowing the adapter block 106 to enter the adapter hole 97. Then, the feeding motor 107 drives the adapter block 106 to rotate slowly, causing the basket 96 to rotate and flip, with the basket 96 flipped open downwards. The sugarcane sprouts fall out of the basket 96 and onto the third sugarcane sprout conveyor belt 63. After the basket 96 rotates one revolution, the electric push rod 105 stops driving the rotating disk 92 to rotate. When rod 105 retracts, it drives the unloading slider 104 to slide and reset away from the basket 96. During the process of the rotating disk 92 driving the basket 96 in the coating tank to rotate and leave, if another basket 96 passes diagonally below the storage mechanism 70 at the end of the second sugarcane bud conveyor belt 62, the rotating disk motor 93 temporarily stops driving the rotating disk 92 to rotate. The storage mechanism 70 then feeds the stored sugarcane buds into the basket 96, allowing another basket 96 to be filled with sugarcane buds. Each basket 96 rotates repeatedly around its circumference, enabling recycling and coating.

[0093] Through the above structure and implementation, this invention enables the removal of sugarcane buds and automatically feeds them into a basket at the disinfection mechanism for disinfection. After disinfection, the buds are removed by a feeding mechanism and fed into a basket at the coating mechanism for coating. The coated buds are then removed by the feeding mechanism. The entry and exit of the buds from the turntable mechanism are both automated. The turntable rotates repeatedly, reducing or eliminating the need for manual intervention, thus lowering labor intensity and protecting worker health. By setting up a storage and feeding mechanism, it can cooperate with a conveyor belt to load and unload the baskets, thereby automating the entire process of sugarcane bud removal, disinfection, and coating, improving the automation level of the production line and increasing operational efficiency. The sugarcane bud removal equipment of this invention can remove buds from both sides without the need for additional mechanisms to rotate the sugarcane so that the buds on both sides rotate alternately under the bud removal mechanism. This reduces the use of additional mechanisms, lowers costs, reduces maintenance difficulty, and improves overall bud removal efficiency. The position of the bud-removing mechanism can be adjusted according to the location of the two sugarcane buds, allowing for simultaneous removal of both buds and improving efficiency. When a bad bud is identified using recognition technology, it can be directly conveyed forward without removal, or the bud can be removed first, followed by separate collection of good and bad buds. The collected sugarcane buds can then undergo secondary or tertiary screening.

[0094] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
