Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rubber tapping, and in particular to an integrated rubber tapping device that combines old rubber line collection, rubber tapping, and overflow rubber collection. Background Technology

[0002] Natural rubber production is highly dependent on manual tapping. Traditional tapping requires skilled workers and tools, is extremely labor-intensive, and labor costs account for over 70% of total production costs. With the aging of the rubber-producing workforce and a shortage of young labor, major rubber-producing areas such as Hainan and Guangdong have even seen a shift from tapping to other rubber-growing industries, seriously threatening the industry's sustainable development. Furthermore, manual tapping is inefficient, especially during nighttime operations. These problems are forcing the industry to seek mechanized alternatives.

[0003] Early rubber tapping equipment (such as electric tappers) could only assist manual operation and could not solve the fundamental problem of labor shortage. Although mobile rubber tapping robots have autonomous navigation capabilities, they are poorly adaptable to complex terrains (such as mountainous areas) and are expensive, making them difficult to popularize. In contrast, stationary rubber tappers, which are directly mounted on the rubber tree trunk, have advantages such as lightweight structure, stable operation, and lower cost, and are considered an important technological path to achieve automated rubber tapping.

[0004] During machine tapping, latex spillage is inevitable due to the machine or the rubber tree itself. To reduce waste caused by latex spillage and prevent it from solidifying and forming old latex lines on the tapping surface, it is essential to clean these old latex lines before tapping. Failure to do so can lead to inaccurate tapping depth and uneven tapping marks, severely impacting the tapping results. Therefore, this application provides a tapping device that integrates old latex line collection, tapping, and overflow latex collection. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. In the following detailed description, only certain exemplary embodiments of the invention are described by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art will recognize that various modifications can be made to the described embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are illustrative in nature and not intended to limit the scope of the claims.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, an integrated rubber tapping device that combines old rubber line collection, rubber tapping, and overflow rubber collection includes a mounting frame 100. The top and bottom of the mounting frame 100 are equipped with opening and closing clamping mechanisms 200. A trajectory walking mechanism 300 is located in the middle of the mounting frame 100. The output end of the trajectory walking mechanism 300 is equipped with a mounting base 400. The mounting base 400 is provided with a rubber line collection mechanism 500, a rubber tapping mechanism 600, and an overflow rubber collection mechanism 700 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The opening and closing clamping mechanisms 200 are used to secure the device to the rubber tree. The trajectory walking mechanism 300 is used to carry the rubber line collection mechanism 500 and the rubber tapping mechanism 600. The mechanism 600 travels along the spiral path of the rubber tapping trajectory. The rubber line collection mechanism 500 is used to clean and collect the old rubber lines solidified on the rubber tapping surface to ensure that the rubber tapping surface is clean and tidy, and to avoid situations such as improper tapping depth and uneven tapping marks caused by the inability to accurately cover the rubber tapping surface due to the obstruction of the old rubber lines. The rubber tapping mechanism 600 is used to tap the rubber on the tapping surface after the old rubber lines have been cleaned. At this time, the tapping depth is accurate and the tapping marks are flat. The overflow rubber collection mechanism 700 is used to collect the overflow rubber generated after tapping. It can prevent excess rubber from overflowing, which would cause trouble in cleaning the old rubber lines and inaccurate tapping in the next time.

[0030] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The opening and closing clamping mechanism 200 includes two opening and closing clamping arms 201 that cooperate from left to right. The inner side of the opening and closing clamping arm 201 is provided with an arc-shaped clamping part 202. The surface of the arc-shaped clamping part 202 is arranged with anti-slip teeth. The inner end of the opening and closing clamping arm 201 is horizontally slidably connected to the mounting frame 100. The mounting frame 100 is equipped with a clamping arm rotating shaft 203 and a clamping arm motor 204 that drives the clamping arm rotating shaft 203 to rotate. An active swing rod 205 is fixedly installed on the clamping arm rotating shaft 203. The two ends of the active swing rod 205 are respectively hinged to the two opening and closing clamping arms 201 with a driven swing rod 206. When the clamping arm motor 204 is running, it drives the active swing arm 205 to rotate via the clamping arm shaft 203. This, in turn, causes the driven swing arm 206 to pull the opening / closing clamping arm 201 horizontally inward or outward along the mounting frame 100. When both opening / closing clamping arms 201 slide inward simultaneously, they can encircle the rubber tree and maintain it in this encircling state, ensuring stable support for the equipment during operation. The opening / closing clamping arm 201 is held in a clamping state by the clamping arm motor 204. To ensure stable clamping, straps can be provided on the outer side of the opening / closing clamping arm 201 for auxiliary fixation.

[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 2The trajectory walking mechanism 300 includes two flexible toothed rails 301 arranged vertically and vertically, each with a toothed rail opening. The two flexible toothed rails 301 are fixed to the mounting frame 100. Circumferential sliders 302 are slidably mounted on each of the two flexible toothed rails 301. Circumferential sliders 302 are mounted with circumferential gears meshing with the flexible toothed rails 301 and circumferential motors 303 driving the circumferential gears to rotate. A guide column 304 is fixed between the upper and lower circumferential sliders 302. The mounting base 400 is slidably mounted on the guide column 304. A vertical screw 305 is also rotatably mounted between the upper and lower circumferential sliders 302. The mounting base 400 is also threadedly connected to the vertical screw 305. One end of the vertical screw 305 is connected to the power end of the vertical motor 306 via a coupling. When the circumferential motor 303 operates, it drives the circumferential gear to rotate and travel along the inner surface of the flexible gear track 301, thereby causing the mounting base 400 and its attached structures such as the glue line collection mechanism 500, the glue cutting mechanism 600, and the overflow glue collection mechanism 700 to move circumferentially. When the vertical motor 306 operates, it drives the vertical screw 305 to rotate, thereby causing the mounting base 400 and its attached structures such as the glue line collection mechanism 500, the glue cutting mechanism 600, and the overflow glue collection mechanism 700 to move vertically. The circumferential motor 303 and the vertical motor 306 operate simultaneously, causing the mounting base 400 and its attached structures such as the glue line collection mechanism 500, the glue cutting mechanism 600, and the overflow glue collection mechanism 700 to move along the spiral path of the glue cutting trajectory. The trajectory walking mechanism 300 is a commonly used structure in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0032] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The rubber line collection mechanism 500 includes a line picking and cutting device and a negative pressure collection device. The line picking and cutting device is used to clean the old rubber line so that it is completely separated from the rubber cutting surface. The negative pressure collection device is used to collect the separated old rubber line to prevent it from falling onto the blade below and affecting the rubber cutting operation.

[0033] See Figure 4 and Figure 5The thread-picking and cutting device includes a glue-picking spatula 501, above which is a cutting jaw 502 that can open and close. The glue-picking spatula 501 is a fixed blade, and the cutting jaw 502 is a non-fixed blade. When the glue-picking spatula 501 first cuts into the old glue thread, the cutting jaw 502 needs to open to avoid it. After the glue-picking spatula 501 has completely cut into the old glue thread, the cutting jaw closes again, dividing the inner end of the old glue thread. After the cutting jaws 502 close, there is a glue line guiding channel 503 between them and the glue-picking shovel 501. The glue line guiding channel 503 is used to guide the separated old glue line. As the glue-picking and cutting device moves along the glue cutting trajectory, the old glue line gradually separates and passes through the glue line guiding channel 503 and hangs down. This allows the negative pressure collecting device located below and behind the glue line guiding channel 503 to be aligned with the hanging old glue line and use negative pressure to suck up and collect the separated glue line.

[0034] See Figure 5 The thread-taking and cutting device includes a thread-taking base 504 fixed on the mounting base 400, a thread-taking telescopic component 505 mounted on the thread-taking base 504, a thread-taking rotating component 506 mounted on the telescopic end of the thread-taking telescopic component 505, a thread-taking bracket 507 fixed on the rotating end of the thread-taking rotating component 506, a glue-taking scraper 501 fixed to the outer end of the thread-taking bracket 507, a cutting jaw 502 rotatably connected to the thread-taking bracket 507, and a jaw drive component 508 for driving the cutting jaw 502 to swing open and close on the thread-taking bracket 507. The telescopic lifting component 505 can extend and retract, causing the rubber-picking shovel 501 and the cutting jaws 502 to move closer to or away from the rubber tree. The telescopic lifting component 505 can be a telescopic cylinder, or it can be a screw or other means to achieve extension and retraction. The rotating lifting component 506 can rotate, causing the rubber-picking shovel 501 and the cutting jaws 502 to rotate to adapt to the cutting surface of the rubber-cutting trajectory. The rotating lifting component 506 can be a rotary cylinder. The middle part of the cutting jaws 502 is rotatably connected to the lifting support 507 via a swing rod, and the rear end of the cutting jaws 502 is rotatably connected to the jaw drive component 508. The jaw drive component 508 is a gripper telescopic cylinder, which, during extension and retraction, can cause the cutting jaws 502 to swing, opening and closing.

[0035] See Figure 6The glue-picking scraper 501 is an L-shaped scraper. The outer end of the L-shaped scraper is provided with an entry cross blade 501a and a cutting vertical blade 501b. The cutting vertical blade 501b is relatively short, which is sufficient to cut the old glue line without affecting the old glue line passing through the glue line guide channel 503. The other end face of the L-shaped shovel is also provided with a scraping side blade 501c. The entry cross blade 501a is used to extend to the bottom of the old rubber line, so that the old rubber line can be separated from the cutting surface and lifted up. The cutting vertical blade 501b is used to cut the end of the old rubber line, so that the tail end of the old rubber line is cut off. When the scraping side blade 501c moves along the cutting surface, it can separate the old rubber line on the cutting surface from the cutting surface. The outer end of the cutting jaw 502 has an arc-shaped cutting blade 502a. The arc-shaped cutting blade 502a corresponds to the position of the entry cross blade 501a. When the cutting jaw 502 is closed, the arc-shaped cutting blade 502a abuts against the surface of the entry cross blade 501a, and can cut the inner end of the old rubber line, so that the old rubber line is completely separated from the cutting surface. As the cutting jaw 502 moves, the old rubber line can be completely separated. The arc-shaped wire-cutting blade 502a has a thin arc-shaped cutting edge, similar to an arc-shaped knife, which can cut the inner end of the old rubber thread.

[0036] See Figure 4 and Figure 7 The negative pressure collection device includes a glue line collection seat 509 fixed on the mounting base 400. A collection telescopic component 510 is installed on the glue line collection seat 509. A collection rotating component 511 is installed on the telescopic end of the collection telescopic component 510. A glue line collection box 512 is fixed on the rotating end of the collection rotating component 511. A glue line separator 513 is provided inside the glue line collection box 512. A negative pressure fan 514 is provided inside the glue line collection box 512 on the inner side of the glue line separator 513. A glue line collection opening is provided on the glue line collection box 512 on the other side of the glue line separator 513. A detachable glue line collection bend 515 is provided at the glue line collection opening. The telescopic collecting component 510 can extend and retract, causing the glue line collecting box 512 and the glue line collecting bend 515 to move closer to or away from the old glue line. The telescopic collecting component 510 can be a telescopic cylinder, or it can be a screw or other means to achieve extension and retraction. The rotating collecting component 511 can rotate, causing the glue line collecting box 512 and the glue line collecting bend 515 to rotate to align with the old glue line. The rotating collecting component 511 can be a rotary cylinder. When the negative pressure fan 514 is running, the rotation of the blades creates a negative pressure inside the glue line collecting box 512, which can draw the old glue line into the glue line collecting box 512 through the glue line collecting bend 515. When a certain amount of old glue line accumulates inside, the glue line collecting bend 515 can be removed to clear the old glue line and prevent blockage.

[0037] The rubber tapping mechanism 600 includes a rubber tapping telescopic component 601. A blade support 602 is installed on the telescopic end of the rubber tapping telescopic component 601. A cutting blade module 603 is provided on the blade support 602. The cutting blade module 603 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The cutting blade module 603 can be extended and retracted through the rubber tapping telescopic component 601 to control the distance between the cutting blade and the rubber tree.

[0038] See Figure 8 The overflow glue collection mechanism 700 includes an overflow glue collection trough 701, the shape of which is consistent with the rubber cutting trajectory. An overflow glue collection box 702 is connected to the bottom end of the overflow glue collection trough 701. The overflow glue collection trough 701 is used to collect excess overflow glue from the rubber cutting surface, while the overflow glue collection box 702 accumulates it. The overflow glue collection box 702 can be detachably connected for easy emptying.

[0039] See Figure 8 The overflow collection mechanism 700 includes an overflow telescopic component 703. An overflow bracket is mounted on the telescopic end of the overflow telescopic component 703. The shape of the overflow bracket is consistent with the shape of the overflow collection trough 701. The overflow collection trough 701 and the overflow bracket are connected by several supporting elastic elements 704. The overflow telescopic component 703 can extend and retract, causing the overflow collection trough 701 to move closer to or away from the rubber tree surface. The supporting elastic elements 704 are springs, with both ends of the springs fixed above the overflow collection trough 701 and the overflow bracket, respectively.

[0040] The overflow collection trough 701 is made of flexible material and has a V-shaped cavity with an open top. The outer end face of the overflow collection trough 701 is used to fit the surface of the rubber tree. The top of the outer end face of the overflow collection trough 701 is provided with a rubber guide angle 705. Excess overflow flows from the lower surface of the tapping surface and then flows into the overflow collection trough 701 through the rubber guide angle 705. Then it is collected along the overflow collection trough 701 into the overflow collection box 702.

[0041] The mounting base 400 in this embodiment is also equipped with a depth camera and a controller to assist the movement of various components.

[0042] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0043] Before starting work, clamp and fix the rubber tapping equipment at the appropriate tapping height position on the rubber tree using the opening and closing clamping arm 201. The tapping steps are as follows: first, clean the old rubber lines that have solidified on the tapping surface after the last tapping operation, then tap the rubber, and finally collect the overflow rubber after tapping. Before operating the equipment, keep all mechanisms away from the rubber tree and maintain a preset distance from the surface of the rubber tree, and wait.

[0044] Before cleaning the rubber line, the track travel mechanism 300 drives the rubber line collection mechanism 500 to move to the lower right of the pre-cut rubber cutting track. Then, the line lifting telescopic component 505 and the line lifting rotating component 506 control the rubber lifting blade 501 to approach the rubber cutting surface. At a suitable angle, the cutting cross blade 501a is inserted into the bottom of the old rubber line, causing the bottom of the old rubber line to separate from the rubber cutting surface and be lifted up. At the same time, the cutting vertical blade 501b cuts the tail end of the old rubber line during the blade's entry. After the horizontal blade 501a reaches the cutting surface depth, the cutting jaw 502 is controlled by the jaw drive 508 to close downwards. The arc-shaped cutting edge 502a cuts the inner end of the old rubber line, causing this section of old rubber line to completely detach from the cutting surface. Then, the rubber line collection mechanism 500 is controlled by the trajectory travel mechanism 300 to travel along the spiral path of the cutting trajectory. During this process, the scraping side blade 501c of the rubber picking shovel 501 travels from the lower right to the upper left along the cutting surface, removing the old rubber line from the surface of the cutting surface. Separating from the cutting surface, the arc-shaped cutting blade 502a, as the cutting jaws 502 move, can completely cut the inner end of the old rubber thread, gradually separating it. The gradually separated old rubber thread passes through the rubber thread guide channel 503 and hangs down. At the same time, the angle and position of the rubber thread collecting bend 515 are adjusted by the collecting telescopic component 510 and the collecting rotating component 511, positioning it below the cutting jaws 502. Negative pressure is used to collect the old rubber thread hanging down from the rubber thread guide channel 503. Inside the rubber line collection box 512, as the rubber line collection mechanism 500 moves, the negative pressure collection device moves synchronously, which can collect the drooping old rubber lines in time. When it moves to the upper left position, by rotating the rubber picking shovel 501 at an angle, the rubber scraping side blade 501c swings upward at an angle to cut off the beginning end of the old rubber line. Under the action of negative pressure, all the old rubber lines are collected. After the rubber line cleaning and collection work is completed, the picking and cutting device and the negative pressure collection device are moved away from the surface of the rubber tree to avoid it.

[0045] The rubber tapping begins. The track walking mechanism 300 drives the tapping module 603 to move to the lower right end of the tapping track. Then, the feed depth of the tapping module 603 is adjusted to align the tapping surface with the tapping surface. The tapping module 603 then moves from the lower right position to the upper right along the tapping track to perform the tapping operation. The tapping module 603 controls the tapping depth based on sensor feedback. After moving to the uppermost end of the tapping track, it stops, retracts the blade, and then moves away from the surface of the rubber tree to avoid it.

[0046] The process begins with collecting latex. The trajectory walking mechanism 300 adjusts the position of the overflow collection mechanism 700 so that it faces the rubber tree's tapping trajectory. Then, the overflow telescopic component 703 brings the inner end face of the overflow collection trough 701 into complete contact with the rubber tree's surface, at which point the latex guiding angle 705 is positioned just below the tapping surface. Normal latex flows down the spiral path of the tapping surface for collection, while excess overflow falls from the lower surface of the tapping surface into the overflow collection trough 701 via the latex guiding angle 705 and is accumulated in the overflow collection box 702. Since latex only overflows initially, the overflow collection trough 701 moves away from the rubber tree after a certain period of time. After some time, when no more latex flows from the tapping surface, new latex lines solidify on the surface. The process is repeated: first, latex lines are cleaned and collected; then tapping is performed; and finally, overflow is collected. This cycle continues indefinitely.

[0047] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed. The scope of protection of this invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
