Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a harvesting machine, and more specifically to a suspended yam harvester. Background Art

[0002] For yam harvesting, there are currently two methods, one is manual harvesting and the other is mechanical harvesting. Manual harvesting is limited to small-scale scattered planting, while large-scale and commercial planting requires mechanical harvesting.

[0003] For mechanical harvesting, as disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent with the authorization announcement number CN216853098U, a vibrating yam harvester is disclosed, which includes a suspension mechanism, a transmission mechanism, a ditching mechanism, and a vibrating shovel harvesting mechanism; the suspension mechanism includes a frame and a suspension, and the frame is connected to a tractor; the transmission mechanism includes a gearbox and a hydraulic motor, the output shaft of the gearbox is connected to the ditching mechanism, and the output end of the hydraulic motor is connected to the vibrating shovel harvesting mechanism; the ditching mechanism includes a ditching chain, a ditching chain support frame, and a spiral soil discharger. The ditching chain is arranged in two rows side by side, each row includes a chain, a driving sprocket, and a driven sprocket, and a ditching chain cutter is connected to the chain; the spiral soil discharger is connected to the suspension mechanism, and both the spiral soil discharger and the ditching chain are offset to one side of the suspension; the vibrating shovel harvesting mechanism includes a vibrating shovel, an eccentric wheel, and a vibrating rod. The output end of the hydraulic motor is connected to the eccentric wheel through a transmission component, the upper end of the vibrating rod is connected to the eccentric wheel, and the lower end of the vibrating rod is connected to the vibrating shovel. The working process or principle is as follows: The tractor drives the whole machine forward by using a three-point suspension device. At this time, the output shaft of the tractor drives the ditching chain and the spiral soil discharger to start working through a universal joint connected to the gearbox. The first hydraulic cylinder and the second hydraulic cylinder on the frame respectively realize the change of the digging depth and angle. At the same time, the tractor conveys energy to the hydraulic motor through an oil pipe, the hydraulic motor drives the eccentric wheel to rotate, and then drives the vibrating shovel through the vibrating rod and the fixed rod to realize the up-and-down reciprocating movement of the mechanism, separating the yam from the soil. As the tractor moves forward, finally, the yam can be directly pulled out from the soft soil by hand.

[0004] The problems it has are: Yam harvesting still requires manual pulling and cannot complete automatic harvesting; due to the high working efficiency of the mechanical setting, there is also the problem of low harvesting efficiency in manual pulling.

[0005] Although the machine realizes functions such as ditching, breaking soil, and separating soil from vegetables, in actual operation, yams are brittle and prone to breakage or damage during mechanical harvesting. The damage rate of existing mechanical harvesting equipment is relatively high, affecting the commercial value of yams. The transmission mechanism and vibrating shovel harvesting mechanism of this machine are relatively complex, involving multiple components such as hydraulic cylinders, chains, and bearings. The installation and maintenance are cumbersome, and the cost of replacing parts is relatively high. The design of the hydraulic motor driving the vibration mechanism results in extremely unstable system pressure pulsation, causing the temperature of the hydraulic oil to rise sharply with the increase of working time. After continuous operation for 4 hours, the viscosity of the hydraulic oil drops by 35%, and the failure probability of the seals increases by 6 times. Completely relying on manual picking, there is a high probability of major accidents during the working process. The ditching chain is not protected, and manual picking is extremely dangerous. Two workers are required to pick up yams during the picking process, and the comprehensive cost is 1.8 times that of manual harvesting. Summary of the Invention

[0050] See Figures 1-8 It can be seen that a suspension type yam harvester of the present invention is composed of a tractor 1, a ditching mechanism 2, a vibrating shovel harvesting mechanism 3, a soil cleaning and conveying device 4, and a collection and backfilling mechanism 5.

[0051] The tractor 1 is connected to drive the ditching mechanism 2, the vibrating shovel harvesting mechanism 3, and the soil cleaning and conveying device 4.

[0052] Combined with the attached Figure 1 As shown, the ditching mechanism 2 is connected to the rear of the tractor 1 through a three-point suspension mechanism 8; one end of the support rod 7 is hinged to the rear of the tractor, and the other end is hinged to the main body of the frame 12. The frame 12 is towed by the tractor 1. The rear universal input shaft connection end 603 of the tractor 1 is connected to a worm and worm gear reducer 201. The worm and worm gear reducer 201 is installed on the frame. Four JFL type elastic sleeve pin couplings 9 are installed on both sides of the worm and worm gear reducer 201.

[0054] Combined with the attached Figure 3As shown, sprocket D11 of the vibrating shovel harvesting mechanism 3 drives sprocket E10 of the vibrating shovel harvesting mechanism 3, and sprocket E10 drives the input shaft 301 of the vibrating mechanism. While the input shaft 301 of the vibrating mechanism rotates, two pedestal bearings 313 and the driving sprocket F303 rotate simultaneously and drive the driven sprocket 314. The rotation of the driven sprocket 314 drives the eccentric shaft 309 and simultaneously drives two pedestal bearings 313 and two eccentric shaft couplings 312. When the eccentric shaft couplings 312 start to move, they drive the vibrating rear connecting rod 315. The lower end of the vibrating rear connecting rod 315 is connected to the vibrating soil removal baffle 308. The vibrating soil removal baffle 308 is provided with a conveying grid 310 in the middle, with a total of 7 conveying grid bars. The two ends of the conveying grid bars are connected to the shovel harvesting support shaft 311. The front end of each conveying grid bar is flat and the upper surface is connected to support the vibrating soil-breaking blade 316. The conveying grid bars provide a firm support for the vibrating soil-breaking blade 316, keeping it stable during operation.

[0055] On both sides of the vibrating soil removal baffle 308, there are also two excavation support arms 307 at the front ends of the two vibrating connecting rods 315. At the upper end of the excavation support arm 307, there is a conveyor belt support shaft 305. At both ends of the shaft 305, there are two two-screw stud type bearing seats 302, and the lower ends of the two-screw stud type bearing seats 302 are the frame 12.

[0056] Combined with the attached Figure 4 As shown, the soil cleaning and conveying device 4 includes a drive motor 401, a cage-shaped soil removal roller 402, side guards 403, and a chain conveyor protective cover 404. The soil cleaning and conveying device 4 is provided with a frame body, and the cage-shaped soil removal rollers 402 are arranged at intervals on the frame body. There is a rotation interval between adjacent cage-shaped soil removal rollers 402. The drive motor 401 drives the cage-shaped soil removal rollers 402 to rotate through a transmission chain. The frame body is provided with side guards 403 on both sides of the cage-shaped soil removal rollers 402, and a chain conveyor protective cover 404 is provided at the transmission chain. The soil cleaning and conveying device 4 is inclined, with its bottom end arranged below the side of the vibrating shovel harvesting mechanism 3 and its top end arranged at the collection and backfilling soil mechanism 5.

[0057] Combined with the attached Figure 5 As shown, the collection and backfilling soil mechanism 5 includes a collection and soil removal rotating roller 501, a collection and backfilling seat plate 502, a ridging and backfilling disc 503, and a transmission component protective cover 504.

The two ends of the collection and soil removal rotating rollers 501 are hinged to the collection and backfilling seat plate 502. At the rear bottom surface of the collection and backfilling seat plate 502, there is a pair of ridging and backfilling discs 503. The ridging and backfilling discs 503 are hinged to the bottom end of the disc frame, and the top end of the disc frame is connected to the collection and backfilling seat plate 502. The front end of the ridging and backfilling disc 503 has a larger interval and the rear end has a smaller interval, causing the soil to gather into the two discs during rotation.

[0058] Agricultural machinery drive shaft mechanism 6; universal joint connector 601, fixed through pin 602, universal joint input shaft connection end 603.

[0059] Combined with the attached Figure 6 As shown, the agricultural machinery drive shaft mechanism 6 is connected to the tractor 1 through the universal joint input shaft connection end 603. The other side of the universal joint input shaft connection end 603 is connected to the fixed through pin 602. The fixed through pins 602 on both sides are connected by the universal input shaft 601, and the other side of the fixed through pin 602 is connected to the universal joint connector 601.

[0060] Figure 9 As shown, it is the cage-shaped soil-removing roller 402 of this embodiment. The outer circumferential surface of its rotating roller is provided with roller bars arranged at intervals. The outer side surface of the roller bar is a plane, and a rubber layer is provided on the plane; it can buffer the vibration of the yam, prevent bruising, and increase the friction of transportation. There is an interval between the roller bars for the soil that falls off during the transportation of the yam. The structure of the collecting and soil-removing roller 501 is the same as that of the cage-shaped soil-removing roller 402.

[0061] The installation process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0062] 1. Connection: First, connect the frame 12 to the tractor 1 through the three-point suspension parts, ensure that the connecting bolts are tightened, and the gaps at each connecting part meet the design requirements to ensure the stability of the frame during operation. At the same time, check whether the hydraulic lifting system connection between the frame 12 and the tractor is normal so that the height and angle of the frame can be flexibly adjusted through the tractor control system. Then, install the chain trenching mechanism 2, the vibrating shovel harvesting mechanism 3, the soil-clearing conveying device 4, and the collecting and backfilling soil mechanism 5 onto the frame 12 in sequence. When installing the chain trenching mechanism 2, adjust the coaxiality between the driving sprocket and the power output shaft of the tractor to ensure that the chain is installed correctly and properly tensioned; when installing the vibrating shovel harvesting mechanism 3, check whether the connection of the vibrating link 315 is firm; when installing the soil-clearing conveying device 4, ensure that the transmission chain is installed flat and the driving cage-shaped soil-removing roller 402 rotates stably; when installing the collecting and backfilling soil mechanism 5, ensure that the position of the ridging and backfilling disc 503 is accurate.

[0063] 2. Debugging: After installation, start the tractor and conduct a comprehensive test on the operation of each mechanism. Check whether the trenching depth and width of the chain trenching mechanism 2 meet the design requirements and optimize by adjusting the power output speed of the tractor and the height of the frame; test the vibration frequency and the penetration depth of the vibrating breaking blade 316 of the vibrating shovel harvesting mechanism 3 to ensure good vibration effect and no damage to the yam; debug the conveying speed and the separation effect of the soil and the yam of the soil-clearing conveying device 4, and change the conveying and separation effect by adjusting the inclination of the soil-clearing conveying device 4; check the backfilling effect of the collecting and backfilling soil mechanism 5, and the ridging and backfilling disc 503 makes the soil surface flat after backfilling.

[0064] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0065] First: Before field operation, the operator drives the tractor to the yam planting field, observes the terrain and the growth of yams, and selects a proper starting point for operation. Start the tractor, drive the suspended yam harvester to one end of the yam planting row, and adjust the position of the frame 12 to align with the planting row or column. Turn on the chain trenching mechanism 2, and reasonably adjust the rotational speed of the tractor's power output according to the soil hardness and the planting depth of yams, so that the trenching blade 203 cuts into the soil at a proper speed and depth, loosening the soil on both sides of the yam belt. The spiral mud discharging rotor 206 discharges the lifted soil to both sides of the trench. Second: Then start the vibrating shovel harvesting mechanism 3, adjust the rotational speed of the eccentric wheel mechanism to control the vibration frequency of the vibrating connecting rod 315, so that the vibrating soil-breaking blade 316 shovels and harvests yams, vibrating and breaking the soil around the roots of yams; the shoveled yams and soil blocks fall backward onto the conveying grid 310. Due to the forward movement of the vibrating shovel harvesting mechanism 3, the yams and soil blocks harvested from the front side are continuously pushed to the rear side. Part of the soil falls to the ground through the conveying grid 310, while the yams and part of the soil are pushed towards the soil cleaning and conveying device 4. Since the vibrating shovel harvesting mechanism 3 works by vibration, most of the soil is separated from the yams during harvesting and falls downward through the conveying grid 310, which is the first soil removal. Third: When the tractor is moving forward, the soil cleaning and conveying device 4 starts to work. The soil and yams are driven by the cage-shaped soil-removing roller 402 to move towards the top. The soil continuously falls downward through the gaps of the cage-shaped soil-removing roller 402. The yams, due to their longer length, will be continuously conveyed to the collection and backfilling soil mechanism 5 above; the soil cleaning and conveying device 4 removes soil for the second time through the gaps of the cage-shaped soil-removing roller 402 itself and the rotational gaps between the two cage-shaped soil-removing rollers 402; the yams are transmitted to the collection and backfilling soil mechanism 5. There is a soil-falling opening on the front side of the collection and backfilling seat plate 502, and the spaced collection and soil-removing rotating rollers 501 are arranged in the soil-falling opening. The spaced collection and soil-removing rotating rollers 501 separate the small part of the soil carried up with the yams again, so that the soil falls downward under the action of gravity. After the collection and soil-removing rotating rollers 501 convey the yams backward, the yams are collected; during the rotation of the collection and soil-removing rotating rollers 501, soil removal is carried out for the third time. At the same time, adjust the height and angle of the ridging and soil-backfilling disc 503 to accurately backfill the soil dropped by the soil cleaning and conveying device 4 into the yam trench.
