Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a vegetable harvesting device in the field of agricultural engineering, and in particular to equipment for continuously harvesting multiple hydroponic lettuces in a plant factory. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of plant factory technology in recent years, hydroponic lettuce has become a key cultivated product in plant factories due to its short growth cycle, stable quality, and high demand. However, significant technical bottlenecks remain in the current harvesting process of hydroponic lettuce, hindering further improvements in plant factory production efficiency and economic viability.
[0003] Currently, the harvesting of hydroponic lettuce mainly relies on manual operations, and workers need to cut and collect mature plants one by one. This traditional method has problems such as high labor intensity, high labor costs, and low efficiency. Especially in large-scale plant factories, frequent manual harvesting cannot meet the needs of high-density, large-scale production. Although some automated harvesting equipment has been proposed, its design is mostly for single-plant harvesting. For example, a robotic arm mobile clamping mechanism is used for clamping, and a cutting mechanism is used to perform root cutting and harvesting operations. This has the disadvantage of low harvesting efficiency. At the same time, existing equipment rarely achieves inverted orientation of the plant after root cutting to prepare for the subsequent removal of abnormal leaves of hydroponic lettuce.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a continuous harvesting equipment for multiple hydroponic lettuce plants in plant factories, which can improve operating efficiency, reduce production costs, and adapt to high-density factory production needs while ensuring harvesting quality.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0045] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 12 As shown, the present invention proposes a plant factory hydroponic lettuce multiple plants continuous harvesting equipment, which includes a cultivation plate precise positioning and conveying mechanism 1, a root fixing and removing mechanism 2, a root cutting mechanism 3, a clamping mechanism 4 and a hydroponic lettuce conveying mechanism 5; along the conveying direction of the cultivation plate, the cultivation plate precise positioning and conveying mechanism 1 is sequentially installed with the hydroponic lettuce conveying mechanism 5 and the clamping mechanism 4, and the hydroponic lettuce conveying mechanism 5 and the clamping mechanism 4 are arranged at intervals; the cultivation plate precise positioning and conveying mechanism 1 below the clamping mechanism 4 is installed with the root fixing and removing mechanism 2, and the root cutting mechanism 3, the clamping mechanism 4 and the hydroponic lettuce conveying mechanism 5 are sequentially ... The fixing and removing mechanism 2 is close to the cultivation board outlet side of the cultivation board precise positioning and conveying mechanism 1, and a root cutting mechanism 3 is installed; the cultivation board is placed on the cultivation board precise positioning and conveying mechanism 1, and when each cultivation board is conveyed to the bottom of the clamping mechanism 4, the root fixing and removing mechanism 2 is located under the current cultivation board. The root fixing and removing mechanism 2 is used to fix the roots of multiple hydroponic lettuces in each row and remove the roots and sponge blocks of the hydroponic lettuce in the cultivation board. The clamping mechanism 4 is used to clamp the stems and leaves of the hydroponic lettuce and convey them to the hydroponic lettuce conveying mechanism 5.
[0047] like Figure 2As shown, the precise positioning and conveying mechanism 1 for the cultivation plate includes a first motor 101, a motor mounting plate 102, a first driving sprocket 103, a first expansion sleeve 104, a driving shaft 105, a first bearing seat 106, a bearing seat mounting plate 107, a trash can 108, a frame 109, a positioning detection sensor device 112, a guide plate 113, a push bar 114, a limit bar 115, a conveyor chain 116, a conveyor chain guide 117 and a first idler wheel 118; along the conveying direction of the cultivation plate, the top of the frame 109 is sequentially installed with a hydroponic lettuce conveying mechanism 5 and a clamping mechanism 4, and a root fixing and removal mechanism 2 is installed in the frame 109 below the clamping mechanism 4, and a trash can 108 is installed in the frame 109 below the root fixing and removal mechanism 2 to collect the roots remaining in the holes of the cultivation plate after cutting. A guide plate 113 is also mounted on the frame 109 above the trash bin 108. This prevents the flexible gripper's fingers from interfering with the growing plates during movement, thereby preventing damage to the equipment. A root cutting mechanism 3 is mounted on the frame 109 near the growing plate exit of the root securing and removal mechanism 2. A positioning sensor 112 is mounted on the growing plate entrance of the frame 109 to detect the placement of the growing plates. The first motor 101 is fixedly mounted in the frame 109 via the motor mounting plate 102, and the first bearing seat 106 is fixedly mounted in the frame 109 via the bearing seat mounting plate 107. The drive shaft 105 is mounted in the frame 109 via a first bearing block 106. The axis of the drive shaft 105 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the cultivation plates. The output shaft of the first motor 101 is coaxially fixed to the drive shaft 105. The two first drive sprockets 103 are coaxially fixed to the corresponding ends of the drive shaft 105 via corresponding first expansion sleeves 104. The frame 109 also houses several spaced-apart first idler wheels 118. Each first drive sprocket 103 and its corresponding plurality of first idler wheels 118 are fitted with a corresponding conveyor chain 116. Specifically, there are four first idler wheels 118. The two conveyor chains 116 are symmetrically and spaced apart. A conveyor chain guide 117 is provided at the top of the frame 109, running along the conveying direction of the cultivation plates. The conveyor chains 116 are mounted within these guides. Several parallel and spaced push bars 114 are installed between the two conveyor chains 116. The direction of the push bars 114 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the cultivation board. Each push bar 114 is fixedly mounted with three corresponding limit bars 115 to form a limit push bar. The limit bars 115 are used to limit the position of the cultivation board. A cultivation board placement space is formed between two adjacent push bars 114 and the two conveyor chains 116. Eleven limit push bars are evenly spaced on the conveyor chains 116. By clamping the cultivation board in the slot of the limit push bar, the cultivation board can be accurately transported along the conveyor chain. The first motor 101 drives the driving shaft 105 to rotate, which in turn drives the two first driving sprockets 103 to rotate, thereby driving the two conveyor chains 116 and the several first idler wheels 118 to rotate, ultimately transporting the cultivation board placed on the conveyor chain 116.The outer links of the conveyor chain 116 come in three types: single-sided curved plates with a single hole, single-sided vertical plates with a single hole, and single-sided curved plates with double holes, arranged in a regular pattern. The single-sided curved plates support the cultivation boards, the single-sided vertical plates limit the support boards to prevent them from moving perpendicularly in the conveying direction, and the double-sided curved plates are used to mount limit push bars. The chain guide 117, mounted within the frame 109, supports the conveyor chain 116, keeping the working section of the chain 116 horizontal, ensuring stable and precise conveying of the cultivation boards.
[0048] In actual production, there are two sizes of growing plates, namely a first growing plate 110 and a second growing plate 111. The two growing plates are symmetrical, so each has a semicircular notch. Taking into account the distribution of the holes on the growing plates, the designed harvesting equipment has certain requirements for the positioning of the growing plates. Specifically, both the first growing plate 110 and the second growing plate 111 must be placed on the same side with the semicircular notch. Manually transporting the growing plates to the precise positioning conveying mechanism can lead to errors, so a positioning detection sensor device 112 is required to detect the semicircular notch to determine whether the growing plates are positioned correctly.
[0049] The positioning detection sensor device 112 includes a detection cylinder 11201, a proximity switch mounting strip 11202, a proximity switch 11203, a switch mounting seat 11204, an elastic bracket 11205 and a collision block 11206; the detection cylinder 11201 is fixedly mounted on one side of the cultivation board inlet end of the frame 109, and the piston rod of the detection cylinder 11201 is directed toward the cultivation board to accurately position the cultivation board on the conveying mechanism 1, the proximity switch mounting strip 11202 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the detection cylinder 11201, and the proximity switch mounting strip 11202 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the detection cylinder 11201. Two elastic supports 11205 are also installed in 11202. These are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the growing board. Each elastic support 11205 is connected to a corresponding collision block 11206 at one end, near the growing board's precise positioning and conveying mechanism 1. A corresponding proximity switch 11203 is mounted in the proximity switch mounting bar 11202 near each elastic support 11205 via a corresponding switch mounting seat 11204. The proximity switch 11203 detects the status of the elastic support 11205. The other end of each elastic support 11205 has a metal head, which acts as a sensing target. If a gap is detected, the collision block 11206 will not contact the growing board, and the elastic support will remain unresponsive. If no gap is detected, the collision block 11206 will contact the growing board, causing the elastic support to move backward. The proximity switch 11203 detects the metal head and generates a signal. It is necessary to combine the results of this detection and the results of the previous detection of the positioning detection sensor device 112 to judge whether the cultivation board is placed correctly: when the proximity switch 11203 close to the entrance last time did not detect a signal in the gap, and the proximity switch 11203 away from the entrance this time did not detect a gap, it means that the previous cultivation board is placed incorrectly; when the proximity switch 11203 close to the entrance last time did not detect a gap, and the proximity switch 11203 away from the entrance this time detected no signal in the gap, it means that the previous cultivation board is placed correctly; when the proximity switch 11203 close to the entrance last time detected a gap, and the proximity switch 11203 away from the entrance this time did not detect a gap, it means that the previous cultivation board is placed correctly; when the proximity switch 11203 close to the entrance last time detected a gap, and the proximity switch 11203 away from the entrance this time did not detect a gap, it means that the previous cultivation board is placed correctly; when the proximity switch 11203 close to the entrance last time detected a gap, and the proximity switch 11203 away from the entrance this time detected a gap, it means that the previous cultivation board is not placed.
[0050] like Figure 3As shown, the root fixing and removal mechanism 2 includes a first pin 201, a steel gasket 202, a cylinder seat 203, a first joint block 204, a single-axis cylinder 205, a second joint block 206, a third joint block 207, a thrust needle roller bearing 208, a rocker 209, a rotating shaft 210 and a root clamping finger; the two ends of the rotating shaft 210 are respectively connected to the corresponding third joint block 207 through the corresponding thrust needle roller bearings 208, the rotating shaft 210 is arranged horizontally and the axial direction of the rotating shaft 210 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the cultivation plate, and a plurality of root clamping fingers arranged in sequence along the axial direction are fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 210, and the number of root clamping fingers is specifically six. The root clamping fingers are directed toward the entrance of the cultivation plate; each third joint block 207 is fixedly connected to one side of the frame 109 of the cultivation plate precise positioning and conveying mechanism 1, and one end of the two rockers 209 is coaxially fixedly connected to the corresponding end of the rotating shaft 210, and the two single-axis cylinders 205 are fixedly connected to the corresponding first joint blocks 204 through the corresponding cylinder seats 203, wherein the cylinder seat 203 is fixedly connected to the first joint block 204 through the first pin shaft 201 and the steel gasket 202. Each first joint block 204 is fixedly connected to one side of the frame 109 of the cultivation plate precise positioning and conveying mechanism 1, and the other ends of the two rockers 209 are hinged to the piston rods of the corresponding single-axis cylinders 205 through the corresponding second joint blocks 206. The movement direction of the piston rod of the single-axis cylinder 205 is parallel to the conveying direction of the cultivation plate. The installation height of the third joint block 207 is higher than the cylinder seat 203. The single-axis cylinder 205 drives the rotating shaft 210 to rotate through the second joint block 206 and the rocker 209, thereby changing the direction of the root clamping fingers.
[0051] Each root clamping finger includes a single-hole fixing clamp 211, a finger cylinder mounting block 212, a finger cylinder 213, and a sponge block clamping finger 214; the finger cylinder mounting block 212 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 210 via the single-hole fixing clamp 211, the finger cylinder 213 is fixedly connected to the finger cylinder mounting block 212, and the sponge block clamping finger 214 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the finger cylinder 213, and the driving direction of the piston rod of the finger cylinder 213 is parallel to the conveying direction of the cultivation plate. The opening direction of the sponge block clamping finger 214 is toward the entrance of the cultivation plate, and the sponge block clamping finger 214 is used to clamp and fix the roots inside the sponge block. Considering the interchangeability of parts, the left and right sponge block clamping fingers are designed with the same structure. When the piston rod of the single-axis cylinder 205 is in the fully extended state, the finger cylinder 213 is placed horizontally, and its fingers are open to prepare to clamp the sponge block for fixation. When the cutting action is completed, the roots and sponge blocks remain in the cultivation holes of the cultivation plate. The piston rod of the uniaxial cylinder 205 retracts, driving the rotating shaft 210 to rotate a certain angle, and the sponge blocks in the cultivation holes are pulled out. Then the finger cylinder 213 opens, and the sponge blocks fall into the trash can 108.
[0052] like Figure 4As shown, the root cutting mechanism 3 includes a cutter 301, a cutter mounting bar 303, a reinforcement plate 302, an angle-adjustable cutting mechanism, and a first synchronization mechanism. The cutter mounting bar 303 is fixedly mounted with several spaced cutters 301. Each cutter 301's cutter mounting block 30112 is securely connected to the cutter mounting bar 303. The cutters 301 are arranged perpendicular to the conveying direction of the growing plate, with the cutter 301 facing the entrance of the growing plate. The six cutters 301 are equidistantly spaced. Because the holes on the growing plate are arranged in an alternating pattern of odd and even positions, the alternating working mechanism of the odd-even cutters enables simultaneous harvesting of multiple lettuce plants at high density. The cutter mounting bar 303 is also provided with a reinforcement plate 302, which has several mounting holes. The bottoms of all cutters 301 are positioned in the corresponding mounting holes. The tool mounting bar 303 is connected to the angle-adjustable cutting mechanism. Specifically, the two ends of the tool mounting bar 303 are hinged to the top of the corresponding rotating support 315 through the corresponding rotating bar 305. The root cutting mechanism mounting plate 321 of the angle-adjustable cutting mechanism is connected to the side of the frame 109 of the cultivation plate precise positioning and conveying mechanism 1. The first synchronization mechanism is installed on the frame 109 of the cultivation plate precise positioning and conveying mechanism 1. The first synchronization rack 307 of the first synchronization mechanism is connected to the sliding base 317 of the translation mechanism of the corresponding angle adjustable component in the angle-adjustable cutting mechanism.
[0053] The angle-adjustable cutting mechanism comprises two angle-adjustable components, each consisting of a rotating bar 305, an angle adjustment rod 314, a rotating support 315, a root cutting mechanism mounting plate 321, and a translation mechanism. Corresponding root cutting mechanism mounting plates 321 are fixedly mounted on either side of the frame 109 of the precise positioning and conveying mechanism 1 for the cultivation plate. Each root cutting mechanism mounting plate 321 is mounted on a corresponding translation mechanism. The two ends of the tool mounting bar 303 are hingedly connected to one end of the corresponding rotating support 315 via the corresponding rotating bar 305. The rotating bar 305 is capable of rotating about a pin. Its center of rotation is precisely located on the geometric extension of the cutting edge of the tool 301 when fully extended. This design ensures highly accurate matching of the angle rotation adjustment process with the tool's operating trajectory. The other end of the rotating support 315 is fixedly connected to the sliding base 317 of the translation mechanism. The middle portion of the rotating bar 305 is hingedly connected to one end of the angle adjustment rod 314, which in turn is hingedly connected to the sliding base 317 of the translation mechanism.
[0054] Because the root cutting mechanism and the clamping mechanism need to be away from the working position when performing the clamping action, the root cutting mechanism enters the working position to perform the cutting action after the clamping mechanism completes the clamping action, and immediately resets after the action is completed. In order to ensure that the root cutting mechanism and the clamping mechanism do not interfere with each other, the present invention proposes a translation mechanism. The translation mechanism includes a sliding base 317, a first slider 316, a first guide rail 318, a first U-shaped plate 319, a first floating joint 320, a first cylinder mounting block 322 and a translation cylinder 323; a first cylinder mounting block 322 is fixedly mounted on each root cutting mechanism mounting plate 321, a translation cylinder 323 is mounted in the first cylinder mounting block 322, and the movement direction of the piston rod of the translation cylinder 323 is parallel to the conveying direction of the cultivation plate; each root cutting mechanism mounting plate 321 is also installed with a first guide rail 318, a first slider 316 is slidably mounted on the first guide rail 318, the sliding base 317 is fixedly mounted on the first slider 316, the piston rod of the translation cylinder 323 is connected to the sliding base 317 through the first U-shaped plate 319 and the first floating joint 320, and a rotating support 315 is fixedly mounted on the sliding base 317.
[0055] The first synchronization mechanism includes a first gear connecting shaft 304, a first roller bearing mounting block 306, a first synchronization rack 307, a cylindrical pin 308, a second roller bearing mounting block 309, a roller bearing 310, a bearing seat mounting block 311, a horizontal bearing seat 312, and a first synchronization gear 313; the axial direction of the first gear connecting shaft 304 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the cultivation plate, and each end of the first gear connecting shaft 304 is installed in the corresponding bearing seat mounting block 311 through the corresponding horizontal bearing seat 312. Each end of the first gear connecting shaft 304 is also coaxially fixed with the corresponding first synchronization gear 313, and each first synchronization gear 313 is also provided with a corresponding first synchronization rack 307, and one end of the first synchronization rack 307 is hinged to the sliding base 317. Each first synchronous gear 313 meshes with a corresponding first synchronous rack 307 to form a gear-rack pair. The axial direction of the first synchronous rack 307 is parallel to the conveying direction of the cultivation board, while the axial direction of the first gear connecting shaft 304 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the cultivation board. A first roller bearing mounting block 306 and a second roller bearing mounting block 309 are fixedly mounted on a side of the frame 109 of the cultivation board precise positioning and conveying mechanism 1 near the cultivation board outlet. The first and second roller bearing mounting blocks 306 and 309 are fixedly connected by bolts. Four cylindrical pins 308 are mounted on the second roller bearing mounting block 309, mounted on either side of the first synchronous rack 307, and cooperate with roller bearings 310 to limit the first synchronous rack 307. Roller bearings 310 are mounted in the first and second roller bearing mounting blocks 306 and 309, and are used to limit the other end of the first synchronous rack 307. The first synchronization mechanism can realize the forced synchronous movement of the translation cylinders 323 on both sides through mechanical coupling, thereby solving the problem of inconsistent cylinder movement speed caused by factors such as air pressure, load distribution, friction and manufacturing errors.
[0056] like Figure 5As shown, the tool 301 includes a second guide rail 30101, a cutting cylinder 30102, a second slider 30103, a first slider mounting block 30104, a second slider mounting block 30105, a second U-shaped plate 30106, a second floating joint 30107, a blade mounting block 30108, a tool mounting block 30112, a blade reinforcement sheet 30109, a blade 30110, and a second cylinder mounting block 30111; the tool mounting block 30112 is fixedly connected to the tool mounting bar 303, and the cutting cylinder 301 02 is fixedly mounted in the tool mounting block 30112 through the second cylinder mounting block 30111, and the piston rod of the cutting cylinder 30102 is floatingly connected to the blade mounting block 30108 through the second U-shaped plate 30106 and the second floating joint 30107. The blade 30110 is fixedly mounted in the blade mounting block 30108, and the blade 30110 faces the entrance of the cultivation board; wherein, in order to enhance the rigidity of the blade, a blade reinforcement sheet 30109 is provided at the connection between the blade 30110 and the blade mounting block 30108. The first slider mounting block 30104 is fixedly connected to the cutter mounting block 30112 via the second slider mounting block 30105. The second slider 30103 is fixedly connected to the first slider mounting block 30104. The second slider 30103 is slidably mounted in the second guide rail 30101. The second guide rail 30101 and the cutting cylinder 30102 are arranged above and below each other, with a gap between them. The direction of the slideway of the second guide rail 30101 is parallel to the direction of movement of the piston rod of the cutting cylinder 30102. One end of the second guide rail 30101, near the piston rod of the cutting cylinder 30102, is fixedly connected to the blade mounting block 30108. The cutting cylinder 30102 drives the blade 30110 and also drives the second guide rail 30101. When the cutter 301 is in operation, the piston rod extends, and the blade can only move in one direction under the action of the second slider 30103 and the second guide rail 30101.

The multi-station chain mechanism is mounted on the two adjustable bases. Specifically, the two second guide columns 40203 of the multi-station chain mechanism are mounted in the first horizontal shaft support 40107 of each adjustable base. To achieve precise position adjustment between the first base mounting plate 40101 and the bearing screw integrated mounting plate 40110, a screw drive system driven by a handwheel 40102 is used. This system includes a screw 40103, a screw support seat 40104, and a screw nut 40105, which together form a precise displacement adjustment mechanism based on a screw pair. The screw drive can achieve movement of the multi-station chain mechanism in the conveying direction. The two adjustable bases have the same structure, including the first base mounting plate 40101, handwheel 40102, screw 40103, screw support seat 40104, screw nut 40105, adjustment bolt 40106, first horizontal shaft support 40107, first horizontal shaft support mounting block 40108, aluminum support leg 40109, bearing screw integrated mounting plate 40110, first linear bearing 40111, first guide column 40112, linear bearing mounting plate 40113 and second base mounting plate 40114 ; Along the conveying direction of the cultivation board, a side surface of the frame 109 of the cultivation board precise positioning and conveying mechanism 1 is sequentially provided with a first base mounting plate 40101 and a second base mounting plate 40114.

The axial direction of the first guide column 40112 is parallel to the conveying direction of the cultivation board.A bearing screw integrated mounting plate 40110 and a linear bearing mounting plate 40113 are also provided between the first base mounting plate 40101 and the second base mounting plate 40114. The bearing screw integrated mounting plate 40110 and the linear bearing mounting plate 40113 are arranged parallel and spaced apart. Guide column mounting holes are provided in the bearing screw integrated mounting plate 40110 and the linear bearing mounting plate 40113. Each first guide column 40112 is installed in the corresponding guide column mounting hole of the bearing screw integrated mounting plate 40110 and the linear bearing mounting plate 40113 through the corresponding first linear bearing 40111; the handwheel 40102 is coaxially fixed with the screw 40103, and the screw 40103 is installed in the first base mounting plate 40101 through the screw support seat 40104. One end of the screw 40103 passes through the first base mounting plate 40101 and is set on the cultivation plate for precise positioning. The frame 109 of the conveying mechanism 1 is fixed with the end of the screw rod 40103 being coaxially connected with the screw rod nut 40105, and the screw rod nut 40105 is fixedly mounted in the bearing screw rod integrated mounting plate 40110; the sides of the bearing screw rod integrated mounting plate 40110 and the linear bearing mounting plate 40113 are fixedly mounted with corresponding aluminum profile support legs 40109, and each aluminum profile support leg 40109 is fixedly mounted with a corresponding first horizontal shaft support mounting block 40108, and each first horizontal shaft support mounting block 40108 is fixedly mounted with a corresponding first horizontal shaft support 40107, and each first horizontal shaft support mounting block 40108 is also provided with a corresponding adjusting bolt 40106 for adjusting the vertical position of the bearing screw rod integrated mounting plate 40110 or the linear bearing mounting plate 40113, so as to realize the vertical movement of the multi-station chain mechanism.
[0059] The multi-station chain mechanism includes a conveying mechanism mounting plate 40201, a clamping bracket, a second guide column 40203, a second horizontal shaft support 40204, a second horizontal shaft support mounting plate 40205, a second idler wheel 40206, a clamping chain guide 40207, a chain guide mounting block 40208, a clamping chain 40209, a second driving wheel 40210, a second motor 40211, a second expansion sleeve 40212 and a tensioning wheel 40213; the corresponding conveying mechanism mounting plate 40201 is fixedly installed on one side of the frame 109 of the precise positioning conveying mechanism 1 of the cultivation plate; along the conveying direction of the cultivation plate, the two The two horizontal shaft support mounting plates 40205 are fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the conveying mechanism mounting plate 40201 in sequence, and each second guide column 40203 is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the corresponding second horizontal shaft support mounting plate 40205 through the corresponding second horizontal shaft support 40204.

A left clamping finger group and a right clamping finger group are alternately installed between the two clamping chains 40209. Each clamping chain 40209 is equipped with spaced-apart second pins 40202 on its sides. Mounting holes are formed at the ends of the left or right clamping finger group, along with the pin connection caps 40301, the pin connection shaft 40302, and the shaft fixing block 40303. The crossbeam connection block 40304 of the left or right clamping finger group is connected to the clamping chain 40209 via the second pins 40202 and the mounting holes. Each clamping chain 40209 and the clamping bracket form a "7" shape, with the opening facing the cultivation board entrance. The hydroponic lettuce conveying mechanism 5 is mounted on the frame 109 of the cultivation board precise positioning conveying mechanism 1, below the clamping bracket opening. A clamping chain guide 40207 is installed in the clamping bracket within each clamping chain 40209 via a chain guide mounting block 40208, providing stable guidance for the clamping chain 40209.

A pin hole is formed between the shaft fixing block 40303 and the end of the crossbeam connecting block 40304. A connecting shaft 40302 is installed in the pin hole. The connecting shaft 40302 and the connecting cover 40301 form two connecting holes. These two connecting holes are used to mate with the second pin 40202 on the clamping chain 40209, allowing the angle between the flexible gripper and the clamping chain 40209 to be adjusted. The finger mounting frame comprises a 4040 aluminum profile 40305, a 2040 aluminum profile 40307, and a 2020 aluminum profile 40306. The 4040 aluminum profile 40305 acts as a crossbeam, with a crossbeam connecting block 40304 installed at each end and seven 2040 aluminum profiles 40307 installed equidistantly in the middle. Each 2040 aluminum profile (40307) has a 2020 aluminum profile (40306) fixed to its head. The T-slots of the 2020 aluminum profile (40306) are oriented in the same direction as the T-slots of the 4040 aluminum profile (40305). The flexible fingers are mounted within the T-slots of the 2020 aluminum profile (40306) and can be adjusted along the slot direction, thereby adjusting the spacing between the left and right flexible fingers of the flexible gripper. The right gripper group is identical to the left gripper group, differing in the placement of the flexible fingers. In contrast to the left gripper group, the right gripper group's flexible fingers are arranged in the opposite direction.
[0061] The right finger 40309 is connected to the finger mounting frame via the right claw seat 40308, and the left finger 40310 is connected to the finger mounting frame via the left claw seat 40313. The shapes of the right finger 40309 and the left finger 40310 are as follows: Figure 8 As shown. The left flexible component is symmetrical to the right flexible component. Except for the symmetry between the left finger 40310 and the right finger 40309, the symmetry between the left claw seat 40313 and the right claw seat 40308, and the symmetry between the left stopper 40317 and the right stopper, the other parts are the same. Figure 9 (a) and Figure 9As shown in (b), the finger assembly includes a finger, a finger double rotating shaft 40311, a finger pin 40312, a second bearing 40314, a rotation limit block 40315, a torsion spring 40316, a stop block 40317, a hand claw seat, a first bolt 40318 and a second bolt 40319; the end of the finger is hinged to one end of the finger double rotating shaft 40311 through the finger pin 40312, the other end of the finger double rotating shaft 40311 is installed in the hand claw seat through the second bearing 40314 and the other end of the finger double rotating shaft 40311 is connected to the first bolt 40318, and the finger double rotating shaft 40311 forms a rotation pair with the hand claw seat through the second bearing 40314, wherein the rotation limit The stopper 40315 is coaxially fixed to the finger dual rotation axis 40311 via a first bolt 40318. A stopper 40317 is also bolted to the gripper mounting surface where the rotation limiter 40315 resides. The rotation limiter 40315 and stopper 40317 cooperate to limit the circumferential rotation of the finger dual rotation axis 40311, restricting its rotation to a certain angle. A torsion spring 40316 is sleeved over the head of the first bolt 40318. A second bolt 40319 is also mounted to the gripper mounting surface where the rotation limiter 40315 resides. The two torsion arms of the torsion spring 40316 are respectively press-fitted to the rotation limiter 40315 and the second bolt 40319. The first bolt is a large bolt, and the second bolt is a small bolt.
[0062] like Figure 10As shown, the left and right gripper finger groups are alternately mounted on the second pin 40202 of the gripper chain 40209, forming eight workstations, namely, gripper station A, transfer station B, unloading station C, empty station D, empty station E, empty station F, empty station G, and empty station H. The distance between two adjacent workstations is two step distances. The clamping chain 40209 needs to maintain a horizontal state for a distance in front of the clamping station A, and then realize the first reversal through the idler wheel, so that it is in a vertical state for a distance to the transfer station B in this interval; realize the second reversal through the idler wheel, so that the clamping chain is in a horizontal state for a distance again, realize the third reversal through the idler wheel, so that the clamping chain is tilted downward for a distance to the starting point of the unloading station C at the oblique segment interval; realize the fourth reversal through the idler wheel, so that the clamping chain is in a vertical state for a distance again; realize the fifth reversal through the idler wheel, so that the clamping chain is in a horizontal state for a distance again; realize the sixth reversal through the driving wheel, so that the clamping chain is in a vertical state for a distance again; realize the seventh reversal through the idler wheel, so that the clamping chain is in a tilted downward state for a distance again; realize the eighth reversal through the idler wheel, so that the clamping chain is in a horizontal state for a distance to the end point of the clamping station A at the horizontal segment interval. The flexible grippers of the gripping finger assembly maintain a fixed angle with respect to the forward direction of the clamping chain 40209. This angle can be adjusted by means of a pin connecting the rotating shaft 40302, the rotating shaft fixing block 40303, and the crossbeam connecting block 40304. At gripping station A, the flexible grippers engage the lettuce 6 at a fixed angle to the horizontal, tilting the lettuce 6 sideways and exposing the roots within the sponge block for the root cutting mechanism to cut. After cutting, the flexible grippers follow the gripping chain 40209. At the unloading station, the idler gear reverses the grippers' angle with the horizontal plane, increasing their angle to a vertical position. At this point, the gripped lettuce plant escapes under its own gravity and falls onto the hydroponic lettuce conveying mechanism 5.
[0063] like Figure 11 As shown, the hydroponic lettuce conveying mechanism 5 includes a lifting mechanism and a belt conveying mechanism; the lifting mechanism is installed on the frame 109 of the cultivation plate precise positioning conveying mechanism 1, and the belt conveying mechanism is installed on the belt conveying mechanism.
[0064] The hydroponic lettuce conveying mechanism 5 further includes a second synchronization mechanism, which is connected to the belt conveying mechanism and is used to synchronously control the lifting and lowering movements of both ends of the belt conveying mechanism.
[0065] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder 501 , a third guide column 502 , a second linear bearing 503 , a fixing ring 504 , a third horizontal shaft support 505 , a cylindrical joint 508 and a support bar 509 .
[0066] The lifting cylinder 501 is fixedly mounted on the conveyor mounting plate 40201. The third guide posts 502 on either side of the lifting cylinder 501 are also mounted on the conveyor mounting plate 40201 via corresponding second linear bearings 503 and third horizontal shaft supports 505. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 501 is fixedly connected to the upper support bar 509 via a retaining ring 504 and a cylindrical joint 508. The top of the third guide post 502 is also fixedly connected to the support bar 509, on which a belt conveyor mechanism is mounted. The belt conveyor mechanism includes a third motor, a belt, and other components. When the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 501 is fully extended, the belt conveyor mechanism is at its highest point, catching lettuce that falls from the unloading station of the clamping mechanism. The shorter the drop distance, the less damage it causes, and the more reliable it is for the lettuce to be held in an inverted position after falling. After the lettuce falls, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 501 retracts, and the belt conveyor mechanism returns to its lowest point. The belt conveyor mechanism then restarts to transport the lettuce, preventing interference between the lettuce on the belt conveyor mechanism and the clamping mechanism.
[0067] The second synchronization mechanism includes a second synchronization gear 510, a second synchronization rack 511, a rack mounting block 512, a vertical bearing seat 513 and a second gear connecting shaft 514; corresponding second synchronization racks 511 are provided at both ends of the belt conveyor mechanism. The second synchronization rack 511 is placed along the lifting direction and is installed on the aluminum profile frame (i.e., the clamping frame) of the multi-station chain mechanism through the rack mounting block 512. The second gear connecting shaft 514 is supported on both sides by vertical bearing seats 513 installed on the conveying mechanism frame, and second synchronization gears 510 are installed at both ends. The second synchronization gear 510 meshes with the corresponding second synchronization rack 511 to form a second gear rack pair. This design can realize the forced synchronous movement of the lifting cylinders 501 on both sides through mechanical coupling, solving the problem of inconsistent cylinder movement speed caused by factors such as air pressure, load distribution, friction and manufacturing errors.
[0068] The working process of the present invention is as follows:
[0069] The first and second growing boards 110, 111, loaded with hydroponic lettuce, are manually placed into the inlet of the precise positioning and conveying mechanism 1 as required. The growing boards are then locked into the slots of the limiting push strips, which consist of a push bar 114 and a limit bar 115. Each time a growing board is placed, the positioning detection sensor 112 detects the board gap to determine if it is correctly placed. If it is incorrectly placed, the machine will alarm and stop; otherwise, it will continue normally. When the growing board loaded with hydroponic lettuce reaches its working position, the root securing and removal mechanism 2 begins operating. The finger cylinder 213, equipped with the sponge block clamping fingers 214, clamps and secures the sponge block and roots of the lettuce plants beneath the growing board. At this point, the clamping finger group is stationary and a step distance from clamping station A. After the roots are secured, the clamping chain begins to move the clamping finger group a step distance, i.e., to clamping station A, completing the clamping of the lettuce. Because the flexible fingers are arranged at an angle, the fingers tilt the lettuce during contact with the lettuce. At the same time, the left and right flexible fingers are subjected to the resistance of the lettuce and rotate to adjust the opening of the claws under the action of the torsion spring to achieve flexible grasping. After the clamping is completed, the root cutting mechanism 3 starts to work. The angle-adjustable cutting mechanism moves toward the lettuce plant under the action of the translation cylinder 323. After moving to the bottom, the tool starts to work to cut the roots. The blade extends out under the action of the cutting cylinder 30102 to cut the roots and then retracts immediately. Then the angle-adjustable cutting mechanism returns to the initial position. The clamping chain starts to move the clamping finger group a step distance, that is, between the clamping station A and the transfer station B. At this time, the lettuce plant whose roots have been cut has been separated from the cultivation plate and will not affect the movement of the hydroponic lettuce cultivation plate. At the same time, the root fixing and removal mechanism 2 starts working. Under the action of the uniaxial cylinder 205, the finger cylinder 213 rotates downward by a certain angle, and then the clamping fingers of the finger cylinder 213 are loosened, and the sponge block and the root system fall into the trash can 108. Then the root fixing and removal mechanism 2 is reset, waiting for the arrival of the next row of lettuce plants. When the clamping finger group travels a step distance and reaches the clamping station A, the other clamping finger group also reaches the unloading station C. At this time, the flexible fingers are in a vertical state. The lettuce plants clamped by the flexible claws break away from the flexible claws under their own gravity and fall in an inverted posture onto the belt conveyor mechanism of the hydroponic lettuce conveying mechanism 5. After the lettuce falls, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 501 retracts, and the belt conveyor mechanism moves to the lowest point. The belt conveyor mechanism restarts and conveys the lettuce, avoiding interference between the lettuce on the belt conveyor mechanism and the clamping finger group of the clamping mechanism during their respective movements. The cultivation plate carrying the hydroponic lettuce moves, and the next row of lettuce plants enters the working position and begins to repeat the previous action, and the cycle continues.
