Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vine-guiding pole installation technology, and more specifically to a pole-insertion device. Background Technology

[0002] Green beans are a common vine-type vegetable crop. During their growth, the vines need to be guided and managed to ensure healthy plant growth and increase yield. Usually, when the plants grow to 30-40 cm tall, vine-guiding poles are inserted. A wooden stick about 2 meters long is used, with one end inserted into the soil. When the plant grows 3-4 true leaves, the vines are guided by gently wrapping the stems around the wooden stick and securing them with clips or hemp rope, guiding them to climb upwards while maintaining a spacing of 15-20 cm.

[0003] For example, patent document with patent application number CN201811616875.9 discloses a bean planting inserter, which specifically includes a hollow support, a first sliding sleeve, a first sliding rod, a first support rod, a first spring, a second sliding sleeve, a fixing plate, a first wedge block, and a first tooth. The hollow support has through holes on both the left and right sides for guiding purposes. The hollow support is provided with a first sliding sleeve on both the left and right sides. The first sliding sleeve is located below the through hole. The first sliding rod is slidably provided inside the first sliding sleeve. The first sliding rod is L-shaped. By the user's gravity, the two first wedge blocks on the left and right sides can move downward and move closer together, so that the inserter can be fixed by the first tooth. Traditional ground-planting methods rely mainly on manual labor. The vines are manually inserted into the soil of the planting area, and then the green bean vines are wrapped around the vines. This method is not only inefficient but also increases the labor intensity of the planters, making it unsuitable for large-scale green bean cultivation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and provide a pole-inserting device to solve the problem that in the prior art, when guiding the vines of green beans, manual insertion of vine-guiding poles is required, which is labor-intensive and inefficient.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This invention provides a rod insertion device, characterized in that it comprises: Mobile mechanism; The rod supply unit, which is connected to the moving mechanism, is capable of outputting multiple rods stored inside it one by one; A positioning unit, which is connected to one side of the moving mechanism, has a through hole; A conveying unit, connected to a moving mechanism, capable of clamping the insertion rod output by the rod supply unit and inserting the insertion rod into the through hole; and... A pressure rod unit, connected to a moving mechanism, is capable of abutting against the end of a rod inserted into the through hole, so that the rod moves along the axial direction of the through hole and separates from the positioning unit.

[0006] In some embodiments, the rod supply unit includes a housing and a shield. The housing is used to store multiple rods. The bottom of the housing is provided with a discharge port. The bottom of the housing has a slope to guide the rods out through the discharge port. The housing is connected to a moving mechanism.

[0007] In some embodiments, the positioning unit includes a guide seat and an elastic element. The guide seat has the through hole and is slidably disposed on one side of the moving mechanism. The elastic element is disposed on one side of the moving mechanism and supports the guide seat. When the guide seat slides downward relative to the moving mechanism, the elastic element can drive the guide seat to slide upward to reset.

[0008] In some embodiments, the conveying unit includes a drive member and a mechanical gripper. The drive member is fixed on the moving mechanism, and the movable end of the drive member is connected to the mechanical gripper. The drive member drives the mechanical gripper to swing so that the mechanical gripper can clamp the insertion rod and insert the insertion rod into the through hole.

[0009] In some embodiments, the pressure bar unit includes an adjusting member, a transmission member, and a pressing part. The adjusting member is disposed on a moving mechanism, the transmission member is disposed on the moving mechanism and connected to the adjusting member, and the pressing part is disposed on the transmission member. The adjusting member is used to drive the transmission member to move so that the pressing part abuts against the top end of the insertion rod passing through the through hole.

[0010] In some embodiments, a rod feeding unit is also included, which is connected to a moving mechanism and is capable of driving the rod output by the rod feeding unit to slide to one side of the moving mechanism.

[0011] In some embodiments, the rod feeding unit includes a base and a pusher. The base is connected to the moving mechanism and corresponds to the discharge port of the housing. The pusher is connected to the base. When the rod rolls down onto the base via the discharge port, the pusher can push the rod to slide toward one side of the moving mechanism. In some embodiments, the rod delivery unit further includes a retaining member connected to the base. When the rod abuts against a protrusion on the base, the retaining member can drive the rod to move to the top of the protrusion so that the pusher can abut against the rod.

[0012] In some embodiments, the pusher includes a drive portion and a blocking portion. The drive portion is disposed within the base, one side of the blocking portion is connected to the drive portion, and the other side of the blocking portion is located above the protrusion. The drive portion is used to drive the blocking portion to move toward one side of the moving mechanism so that the blocking portion pushes the insert rod to slide.

[0013] In some embodiments, the blocking part includes a connecting rod and a sleeve. One end of the connecting rod is connected to the driving part, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to the sleeve. The sleeve is located above the protrusion. When the outer diameter of the insertion rod is tapered, the sleeve can be sleeved with the insertion rod.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0016] To address the problem of high labor intensity and low efficiency in the existing technology of manually inserting vine-guiding poles when guiding green beans, this invention provides a pole-inserting device that can automatically insert the poles into the soil, reducing the labor intensity of operators.

[0017] Please see Figures 1-7 , Figures 1-7 According to one embodiment of the present invention, a rod insertion device includes a moving mechanism 1, a rod supply unit 2, a positioning unit 3, a conveying unit 4, and a pressing unit 5. The rod supply unit 2 is connected to the moving mechanism 1 and can output multiple rods A stored inside it one by one. The positioning unit 3 is connected to one side of the moving mechanism 1 and has a through hole 3a. The conveying unit 4 is connected to the moving mechanism 1 and can clamp the rods output by the rod supply unit 2 and insert the rods into the through hole 3a. The pressing unit 5 is connected to the moving mechanism 1 and can abut against the end of the rod inserted into the through hole 3a, so that the rods move along the axial direction of the through hole 3a and separate from the positioning unit 3.

[0018] In actual operation, the moving mechanism 1 can move freely within the planting area. After the rod supply unit 2 outputs a rod placed inside, the transmission unit 4 can clamp the rod and insert it into the hole 3a. At this time, the lower end of the rod A is in contact with the ground. The pressure rod unit 5 abuts against the upper end of the rod inserted into the hole 3a, driving the rod A to move downward and insert it into the soil. When the pressure rod unit 5 separates from the top of the rod, the positioning unit 3 also separates from the rod. After the moving mechanism 1 moves a certain distance, another rod can be inserted into the soil.

[0019] It should be noted that the moving mechanism 1 is not limited to a specific structure. The moving mechanism 1 is usually composed of rollers and a drive device. Under the action of the drive device, it can move. No further details will be provided here.

[0020] In one embodiment, the rod supply unit 2 includes a housing 21 and a shielding member 22. The housing 21 is used to store multiple rods. The bottom of the housing 21 is provided with a discharge port. The housing 21 is connected to the moving mechanism 1. The shielding member 22 is connected to the housing 21 and is used to open or close the discharge port.

[0021] Specifically, the housing 21 has a specific receiving cavity, and the bottom of the housing 21 has a slope that can guide the insert rod to be output through the discharge port. When the blocking member 22 opens the discharge port, the lowest insert rod can roll out through the discharge port; wherein, multiple insert rods are stacked in the receiving cavity.

[0022] It should be noted that the blocking member 22 is not limited to a specific structure. When the blocking member 22 opens the discharge port, one insert can roll out from the discharge port. When the blocking member 22 closes the discharge port, it can restrict the other inserts from rolling out.

[0023] In one embodiment, the shielding member 22 includes a baffle that is slidably connected to the housing 21, and an electric cylinder fixed on the housing 21. The output end of the electric cylinder is connected to the baffle, and the baffle is driven to rise and fall by the electric cylinder so that the baffle closes or opens the discharge port.

[0024] It should be noted that the positioning unit 3 is not limited to a specific structure. As long as it can position the insertion rod so that the insertion rod is in a vertical state, and the positioning unit 3 can be separated from the insertion rod after the insertion rod is inserted into the soil layer, no further details will be provided here.

[0025] In one embodiment, the positioning unit 3 includes a guide seat 31 and an elastic element 32. The guide seat 31 has a through hole 3a. The guide seat 31 is slidably disposed on one side of the moving mechanism 1. The elastic element 32 is disposed on one side of the moving mechanism 1 and supports the guide seat 31. When the guide seat 31 slides downward relative to the moving mechanism 1, the elastic element 32 can drive the guide seat 31 to slide upward to reset.

[0026] Among them, the elastic element 32 consists of two compression springs. The inner diameter of the perforation 3a is larger than the outer diameter of the insertion rod. When the lower end of the insertion rod is inserted into the soil layer, when the pressure rod unit 5 separates from the end of the insertion rod, under the action of the elastic restoring force of the two compression springs, the guide seat 31 slides upward to reset and can separate from the insertion rod.

[0027] In one embodiment, the conveying unit 4 includes a drive member 41 and a mechanical gripper 42. The drive member 41 is fixed on the moving mechanism 1, and the movable end of the drive member 41 is connected to the mechanical gripper 42. The drive member 41 drives the mechanical gripper 42 to swing so that the mechanical gripper 42 can clamp the insertion rod and insert the insertion rod into the through hole 3a.

[0028] Based on the above scheme, in order to facilitate the mechanical gripper 42 to accurately clamp the insertion rod, in one embodiment, a rod feeding unit 6 is also provided on the moving mechanism, which is connected to the moving mechanism 1. It can drive the insertion rod output by the rod feeding unit 2 to slide to one side of the moving mechanism 1, and make the end of the insertion rod overhang outside the moving mechanism 1.

[0029] Specifically, the rod feeding unit 6 includes a base 61 and a pusher 62. The base 61 is connected to the moving mechanism 1 and corresponds to the discharge port of the housing 21. The pusher 62 is connected to the base 61. When the rod rolls down onto the base 61 through the discharge port, the pusher 62 can push the rod to slide towards one side of the moving mechanism 1. In one embodiment, the base 61 is provided with a protrusion 611, which can abut against the protrusion after the insertion rod rolls out from the discharge port. The base 61 is provided with a limiting member 63, which can drive the insertion rod to the top of the protrusion so that the pusher 62 can abut against the insertion rod.

[0030] It should be noted that the limiting member 63 is not limited to a specific structure. In one embodiment, the limiting member 63 includes a base 631, a hook plate 632, and a drive motor 633. The base is fixed on the base 61, and the hook plate 632 is rotatably connected to the base 631 via a pin. The drive motor 633 is fixed on one side of the base 631 and its output end is connected to the pin. By rotating the drive motor 633 and the pin, the hook plate 632 is rotated. The hook plate is L-shaped. When the hook plate contacts the insertion rod, it will push the insertion rod to rotate onto the protrusion.

[0031] It should be noted that the driving component 41 is a forward and reverse motor, and the mechanical gripper 42 is not limited to a specific structure. In one embodiment, the mechanical gripper 42 includes a transmission arm 421, a synchronous motor, a mounting plate 422, a dual-axis electric cylinder, and two clamping plates 423. One end of the transmission arm 421 is connected to the output end of the driving component 41, the synchronous motor is fixed to the other end of the transmission arm 421, the output end of the synchronous motor is fixed to the mounting plate 422, the dual-axis electric cylinder is fixed inside the mounting plate 422, and the two clamping plates 423 are slidably disposed on opposite sides of the mounting plate 422, and the two clamping plates 423 are respectively connected to the two output shafts of the dual-axis electric cylinder.

[0032] Specifically, the drive member 41 can drive the transmission arm 421 to swing, so that the two clamping plates 423 are located on one side of the base 61. The part of the insertion rod that is suspended outside the moving mechanism can be inserted between the two clamping plates 423. The two clamping plates 423 are driven to move closer together by the dual-axis electric cylinder to clamp the insertion rod. At the same time, the synchronous motor drives the mounting plate 422 to rotate and adjust the axial direction of the insertion rod. When the drive member 41 can drive the transmission arm 421 to swing above the positioning unit, the axis of the insertion rod corresponds to the axis of the through hole. When the two clamping plates 423 release the insertion rod, the insertion rod can slide downward and pass through the through hole.

[0033] In one embodiment, a semi-circular groove is provided on the side of the two clamping plates that are close to each other, and the insertion rod can be clamped in the clamping space formed by the semi-circular groove.

[0034] It should be noted that the pusher 62 is not limited to a specific structure, as long as it can push the plug rod to slide to one side of the moving mechanism, no further details will be provided here.

[0035] In one embodiment, the pusher 62 includes a drive part 621 and a blocking part 622. The drive part 621 is disposed in the base 61. One side of the blocking part 622 is connected to the drive part 621, and the other side of the blocking part 622 is located above the protrusion. The drive part 621 is used to drive the blocking part 622 to move toward one side of the moving mechanism 1 so that the blocking part 622 pushes the insertion rod to slide.

[0036] Specifically, the blocking part 622 includes a connecting rod 6221 and a sleeve 6222. One end of the connecting rod 6221 is connected to the driving part 621, and the other end of the connecting rod 6221 is connected to the sleeve 6222. The sleeve 6222 is located above the protrusion. When the outer diameter of the insertion rod is gradually reduced, the sleeve 6222 can be sleeved with the insertion rod.

[0037] It should be noted that the drive unit 621 is not limited to a specific structure, as long as it can drive the blocking part 622 to move, no further details will be provided here; in one embodiment, the drive unit 621 includes a threaded screw 6211, a geared motor 6212, and a guide block 6213. The threaded screw 6211 is rotatably disposed in the base 61, the geared motor 6212 is fixedly disposed in the base 61, the output end of the geared motor 6212 is connected to one end of the threaded screw 6211, the guide block 6213 is slidably disposed in the base 61, and the guide block 6213 is threadedly rotatably connected to the threaded screw 6211, and the connecting rod 6221 is fixedly connected to the guide block 6213.

When the two insertion rods a23 are inserted into the annular groove a11, the relative sliding of the first and second rod bodies can be restricted.

[0039] The inner diameter of the first rod a1 is gradually reduced at one end. When the inner diameter of the sleeve 6222 is greater than the outer diameter of one end of the first rod a1 and less than the outer diameter of the other end of the first rod a1, the sleeve 6222 can be sleeved with the first rod a1 when the sleeve moves, and push the sleeve to slide.

[0040] The inner diameter of the sleeve 6222 is larger than the outer diameter of the second rod a2, and the inner diameter of the sleeve 6222 is smaller than the outer diameter of the second rod a2. It should be noted that the pressure rod unit 5 includes an adjusting member 51, a transmission member 52, and a pressing part 53. The adjusting member 51 is disposed on the moving mechanism 1, the transmission member 52 is disposed on the moving mechanism 1 and connected to the adjusting member 51, and the pressing part 53 is disposed on the transmission member 52.
