Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of agricultural harvesting machinery, and particularly to a continuous yam harvesting device. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of the pace of agricultural modernization in China, the agricultural production mode is undergoing a profound transformation. Among them, yam, as an economic crop with high economic value and extensive planting area, the problems it faces in the planting and harvesting links are becoming increasingly prominent. For a long time, the harvesting of yam mainly relies on traditional manual excavation methods, which not only have high labor intensity and low efficiency, but also easily cause damage to yams, affecting their quality and market value.

[0003] In China, yam has a long planting history and a vast planting area, mainly concentrated in provinces such as Henan, Shandong, Hebei, and Shanxi. The climate and soil conditions in these areas are suitable for yam growth, making the yam industry flourish in these places. However, the traditional yam harvesting method often requires farmers to bend down and dig the soil. After long hours of labor, not only are they physically exhausted, but also various occupational diseases are easily caused. With the continuous growth of market demand and the advancement of the agricultural modernization process, the traditional yam harvesting method has been difficult to meet the needs of modern agricultural production.

[0004] For example, the Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN108464100A discloses a yam harvesting robot, including a frame. Connecting shafts are respectively arranged in parallel at the front and rear parts of the frame, and traveling systems are arranged on both sides of the frame; a harvesting frame is arranged in the middle of the frame. The upper part of the harvesting frame is triangular, and two support arms are hinged at the front end of the triangle. Plow chassis supports are respectively slidably installed at the lower parts of the support arms. Mounting frames are arranged on the outer sides of each plow chassis support. An earth-digging lifting hydraulic cylinder is arranged between the support arm and the plow chassis support on the same side. A driving frame is also hingedly installed at the middle position of the upper part of the support arm, and the other ends of the driving frame are respectively hingedly installed on both sides of the top head. The middle of the top head is connected to the piston rod end of the earth-digging and gathering hydraulic cylinder, and the cylinder body end of the earth-digging and gathering hydraulic cylinder is hingedly installed at the front end of the harvesting frame.

[0005] The above solution has the following deficiencies in actual use:

[0006] This solution effectively realizes the function of deep soil excavation through the plow chassis that can be flexibly adjusted at multiple angles. However, in actual application, it fails to achieve the recovery of yams. In addition, when using two plow chassis for soil excavation, the soil loosening effect is not ideal, resulting in a large amount of soil adhering to the surface of the yams, bringing inconvenience to the subsequent cleaning work.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1-8 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0039] A continuous yam harvesting device, as shown in the attached Figure 1 of the specification, includes:

[0040] The main body of the trolley 100. In this embodiment, a power module 200 for supplying power to the soil loosening unit 300, the harvesting unit 400, and the conveying unit 500 is provided on the main body of the trolley 100. The soil loosening unit 300 is provided on the front side of the main body of the trolley 100. The soil loosening unit 300 is used for loosening the soil. The soil loosening unit 300 includes two chain drive systems, and there is a certain distance between the two chain drive systems to avoid damaging the yams. The chain drive system includes a frame 301. Both ends of the frame 301 are connected with a chain 304 through two sprockets. A drive shaft 303 connected to the sprocket and an actuator 302 for driving the drive shaft 303 to rotate are provided on the top of the frame 301. The actuator 302 uses an electric motor as the driving force. Because the electric motor has high efficiency and reliability and can provide stable and strong power output, the use of the electric motor also makes the operation of the harvester more convenient. Just by controlling the start-stop and speed of the electric motor, the soil loosening operation can be easily realized. The torque of the electric motor is transmitted to the drive shaft 303 through bevel gear transmission to make the chain 304 start to move. A number of blade connecting plates 305 are provided on the chain 304, and a plurality of blades 306 are provided on each blade connecting plate 305. A connecting seat 307 is provided on one side of the frame 301. Among them, the chain 304 is made of high-quality materials to increase its durability and abrasion resistance.

Among them, the driving arm 402 is driven to rotate by the motor set, and the reciprocating motion of the push rod 403 is realized under the guidance of the guiding seat 404. Under the action of the sliding seat 405, the vibrating shovel 408 makes a reciprocating motion, simulating the action of shoveling the ground, so as to collect the middle yam and the soil.

[0045] A connecting arm 409 is rotatably connected to the top of each connecting plate 406. The connecting arm 409 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 307 through a first rotating shaft 410. With the cooperation of the above structure, the vibrating shovel 408 can move synchronously with the up and down movement of the chain drive system. A fixing seat 411 is provided on the upper surface of the trolley body 100. An electric push rod 412 is provided on the fixing seat 411. The output end of the electric push rod 412 is provided with a bearing seat 413. The bearing seat 413 is rotatably connected to the two groups of chain drive systems through a rotating shaft. By adjusting the height of the chain drive system through the electric push rod 412, the phenomenon of cutting the soil during the walking process in the non-working state can be avoided. An electric push rod 414 is rotatably connected to the front side of the fixing seat 411. The output end of the electric push rod 414 is rotatably connected to the two groups of chain drive systems through a connecting shaft 415. The electric push rod 414 can adjust the angle of the chain drive system, so as to adjust the soil cutting angle and improve the utilization rate of soil cutting.

[0046] The conveying unit 500 includes two support frames 501 disposed on the lower surface of the trolley body 100. A conveyor 502 is rotatably connected between the two support frames 501 through bearings. Two connecting members 503 are rotatably connected to the input side of the conveyor 502. The ends of the connecting members 503 are slidably connected to the slide rails through sliders. The ends of the connecting members 503 are rotatably connected to the sliders. A conveyor 504 is disposed between the two slide rails. With the cooperation of the above structures, the telescopic functions of the conveyor 502 and the conveyor 504 can be realized, so that the conveyor 504 can move following the vibrating shovel 408. Ensure that when the vibrating shovel 408 shovels up the yams, the conveyor 502 and the conveyor 504 timely convey the yams. The input side of the conveyor 504 is rotatably connected to the output side of the vibrating shovel 408 through a rotating shaft. It should be noted that both the conveyor 502 and the conveyor 504 include a conveyor frame, a conveyor belt, a driving roller and a motor. By controlling the motor to work, the driving roller rotates, thereby realizing the movement of the conveyor belt and completing the conveying work of the yams.

[0047] A conveyor belt 506 is disposed at the rear side of the upper surface of the trolley body 100. The conveyor belt 506 is inclined. Two driving rollers are sleeved inside the conveyor belt 506. The driving roller located at the higher position is connected to the trolley body 100 through a bearing seat. An actuating mechanism 604 for driving the driving roller is disposed on the upper surface of the trolley body 100. The end of the driving roller located at the lower position is rotatably connected to two frames through bearings. The frames are connected to the lower surface of the trolley body 100. Among them, in actual use, baffles are disposed on both sides of the conveyor belt 506 to prevent the phenomenon of yams falling during the conveying of yams. The conveyor belt 506 is made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials to adapt to different soil and environmental conditions. And the width of the conveyor belt 506 is sufficient to accommodate yams of different sizes. The smooth surface reduces the friction and damage of the yams during the conveying process. The running speed of the conveyor belt 506 can be adjusted to ensure that the yams can be transported smoothly and avoid the collision and rolling of the yams caused by too fast speed. The inclination angle of the conveyor belt 506 can also be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to different harvesting conditions and the planting depth of yams.

[0048] The rolling cleaning mechanism includes a mounting bracket 601, a drum 602, and a transmission wheel 603. Two groups of mounting brackets 601 are provided on the lower surface of the trolley main body 100. The drum 602 is arranged inside the two groups of mounting brackets 601. A plurality of transmission wheels 603 are rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 601 through a rotating shaft. Two annular slide rails 605 corresponding to the transmission wheels 603 are arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the drum 602. A number of sieve holes 606 are provided on the drum 602. A plurality of spiral plates 607 are arranged on the inner peripheral surface of the drum 602. Among them, the outlet side of the drum 602 is located above the conveyor belt 506. During the process of harvesting yams, as the trolley main body 100 moves, the lower part of the drum 602 will also perform the operation of shoveling soil. At the same time, under the action of the internal spiral plate 607, the drum 602 can be rotated. The sieve holes 606 on the drum 602 can allow soil particles to pass through smoothly, but it is necessary to ensure that the yams are not damaged during the excavation process. The soil entering the drum 602 can be discharged through the sieve holes 606, and the yams fall on the conveyor belt 506 under the push of the soil and the subsequent yams. In the actual use process, an actuator 604 for driving the rotation of the drum 602 can be provided on one of the mounting brackets 601 according to needs, so as to adjust its rotation speed to ensure that the yams are excavated under the most suitable conditions. This flexibility can adapt to different soil types and the planting depth of yams, so as to achieve efficient and damage-free harvesting;

[0049] The energy collection mechanism includes a telescopic rod 600, a pressing block 608, a return spring 609, a piezoelectric ceramic block 610, an energy storage battery 611, a connecting rod 612, a piston ring 613, and a cylinder 614. The two ends of the telescopic rod 600 are respectively connected to the side plate of the conveyor two 504 and the vibrating shovel 408. The pressing block 608 is arranged inside the telescopic rod 600. The return spring 609 is used to drive the pressing block 608 to reset. The pressing block 608 and the vibrating shovel 408 are connected to each other. The piezoelectric ceramic block 610 is also arranged inside the telescopic rod 600. When the vibrating shovel 408 vibrates, the pressing block 608 will repeatedly press the piezoelectric ceramic block 610. Metal electrodes are coated on both sides of the piezoelectric ceramic block 610. The metal electrodes are connected to the energy storage battery 611 through a full-bridge rectifier. The full-bridge rectifier is used to convert the alternating current output by the piezoelectric ceramic block 610 into direct current. The energy storage battery 611 is provided with a DC-DC conversion module. The DC-DC conversion module is used to adjust the voltage of the input current to adapt to the charging electric energy of the energy storage battery 611. Both the full-bridge rectifier and the DC-DC conversion module are existing technologies, and the specific models can be reasonably selected according to the actual situation. The telescopic rod 600 is provided with a pneumatic chamber. The connecting rod 612 is connected to the pressing block 608. The piston ring 613 is connected to the connecting rod 612. The piston ring 613 is movably connected to the pneumatic chamber. When the piston ring 613 moves along the pneumatic chamber, the gas will be compressed into the cylinder 614.

[0050] The jet cleaning mechanism includes a solenoid valve 615, a magnet 616 and a nozzle 617. The solenoid valve 615 is an electromagnetic opening valve and is driven by the electric energy in the energy storage battery 611. The solenoid valve 615 is connected to the cylinder 614. The magnet 616 is arranged on the roller 602 and at the air inlet end of the nozzle 617. When the solenoid valve 615 and the magnet 616 come into contact with each other, the cylinder 614 will open and jet air through the nozzle 617.

[0051] Working principle:

[0052] When harvesting yams, the height of the soil loosening unit 300 is adjusted by controlling the first push rod to work, and the height of the vibrating shovel 408 changes accordingly. Then, after adjusting the angle of the soil loosening unit 300 by controlling the second electric push rod 414 to work, the soil loosening unit 300 is controlled to work to perform the soil cutting and loosening process. The vibrating shovel 408 and the roller 602 can shovel up the turned yams. The yams on the vibrating shovel 408 are transported into the roller 602 under the transportation of the first conveyor 502 and the second conveyor 504. When the vibrating shovel 408 vibrates, the telescopic rod 600 will continuously extend and retract, thereby driving the pressing block 608 to press the piezoelectric ceramic block 610, and the electric energy is stored in the energy storage battery 611. When the telescopic rod 600 extends and retracts, it will drive the piston ring 613 to reciprocate in the air pressure chamber, thereby continuously pumping air into the cylinder 614;

[0053] As the roller 602 rotates, part of the soil on the yams is discharged through the sieve holes 606. When rotating, when the magnet 616 and the solenoid valve 615 adsorb each other, the solenoid valve 615 will open and then jet air through the nozzle 617 to jet-clean the soil attached to the surface of the yams;

[0054] After that, the yams continue to move onto the conveying unit 500, and the conveying unit 500 conveys the yams.

[0055] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the present invention.
