Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of agricultural machinery, and in particular to a spreading device and a plant protection unmanned device equipped with the spreading device. Background Art

[0002] As an important tool for modern agriculture, plant protection unmanned devices (such as plant protection drones, plant protection unmanned vehicles, etc.) can efficiently and accurately complete operations such as pesticide spraying, sowing, and fertilizing, effectively reducing the labor intensity of workers, greatly improving the operation efficiency, and being able to operate flexibly in farmland environments of various terrains. Plant protection unmanned devices have been widely used in the field of forest and agricultural plant protection operations, providing efficient and convenient operation methods, and effectively promoting the mechanization, intelligentization, and modernization of agriculture.

[0003] Generally, a spreading device is mounted on a plant protection unmanned device for spreading materials in the form of granules and powders, and is used in operation scenarios such as sowing and fertilizing. The structure of the existing spreading device is as Figure 1 shown. The spreading device includes a spiral feeder 100, a feeding cover 200, a rotatable throwing disc 300, and a throwing disc driving mechanism 400 for driving the throwing disc 300 to rotate. Materials enter through the feeding port of the spiral feeder 100 and are conveyed to the discharging port of the spiral feeder 100. The materials fall from the discharging port into the feeding cover 200 and then fall from the discharging port at the lower end of the feeding cover 200 onto the throwing disc 300. The throwing disc driving mechanism 400 drives the throwing disc 300 to rotate, and under the action of centrifugal force, the materials on the throwing disc 300 are thrown out to achieve automatic spreading or automatic fertilizing.

[0004] However, the above existing spreading device has the following defects in actual use: when the spiral feeder 100 discharges materials, in the case of a relatively small flow rate, the materials will flow out closely along the discharging port of the spiral feeder 100, resulting in the materials falling on the throwing disc 300 being biased to one side of the throwing disc 300, as Figure 2 shown. In addition, when the spiral feeder 100 discharges materials, due to the threaded opening at its discharging port, the materials will start to be discharged when passing through the lowest part of the discharging port, as Figure 3 shown. Combining with the rotation of the spiral feeder 100 driving the materials to rotate together, it causes the discharging position of the materials to be biased to one side, and further causes the materials to fall on the throwing disc 300 being biased to one side of the throwing disc 300, as Figure 2 shown. Finally, the above two factors result in uneven distribution of the materials on the throwing disc 300 after falling. There is a concentrated area 301 of material landing points on the throwing disc 300, and the distribution of the materials on the throwing disc 300 after being thrown out under the action of centrifugal force is also uneven. Most of the materials are concentrated on one side area of the throwing disc 300, and there are a material dense distribution area 302 and a material sparse distribution area 303 in the operation area.

When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this application.

[0067] This application relates to a spreading device and a plant protection unmanned device equipped with the spreading device. The plant protection unmanned device is an agricultural instrument such as a plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle or a plant protection unmanned vehicle, which realizes the automatic spreading of materials such as seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and feeds. The following takes the plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle as an example to expand the description.

[0068] The plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle involved in this application includes a frame, a material box, and a spreading device. The material box and the spreading device are both fixedly installed on the frame, and the material box is loaded with materials such as seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides. As Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, the sowing device involved in the present application includes a material conveying mechanism 20, a blanking housing 30, a throwing disc 10, a throwing disc driving mechanism 40, and a material supporting mechanism 50. The material conveying mechanism 20 and the blanking housing 30 are both fixedly installed on the frame, thereby installing the sowing device as a whole on the frame. The material conveying mechanism 20 is provided with a feed inlet 21 and a discharge outlet 22, and the feed inlet 21 of the material conveying mechanism 20 is communicated with the material box; the blanking housing 30 is fixedly arranged at the discharge outlet 22 of the material conveying mechanism 20, so the discharge outlet 22 of the material conveying mechanism 20 is communicated with the inner cavity of the blanking housing 30; the throwing disc 10 is rotatably arranged at the lower end of the blanking housing 30 and is in transmission connection with the throwing disc driving mechanism 40. The throwing disc driving mechanism 40 drives the throwing disc 10 to rotate. The lower end of the blanking housing 30 is an open structure; the throwing disc driving mechanism 40 has a rotating shaft 41 that extends vertically and is rotatably supported in the blanking housing 30, and the throwing disc 10 is fixed to the lower end of the rotating shaft 41. Particularly, the material supporting mechanism 50 includes a deformable supporting member 60 that is rotatably arranged in the blanking housing 30. The deformable supporting member 60 is distributed on the lower side of the discharge outlet 22 of the material conveying mechanism 20 and above the throwing disc 10. The deformable supporting member 60 is higher than the throwing disc 10 as a whole. The deformable supporting member 60 is coaxially arranged with the throwing disc 10. The inner end of the deformable supporting member 60 is a fixed end 61 fixed to the rotating shaft 41, and the outer end of the deformable supporting member 60 is a free end 62. An annular blanking port 70 is formed between the free end 62 of the deformable supporting member 60 and the inner wall of the blanking housing 30. The discharge outlet 22 of the material conveying mechanism 20 is communicated with the annular blanking port 70 through the inner cavity of the blanking housing 30. The top surface of the throwing disc 10 is a diffuse reflection surface, and the diffuse reflection surface is distributed directly below the annular blanking port 70.

[0069] The deformable supporting member 60 is used to support the material falling from the discharge outlet 22 of the material conveying mechanism 20. The deformable supporting member 60 automatically deforms under the action of the weight of the material, and the degree of deformation of the deformable supporting member 60 is proportional to the flow rate of the material conveying mechanism 20; since the free end 62 at the outer end of the deformable supporting member 60 is in a free state, under the action of the deformation of the deformable supporting member 60, the free end 62 of the deformable supporting member 60 will automatically move in a direction close to or away from the inner wall of the blanking housing 30, automatically adjusting the opening size of the annular blanking port 70 so that the opening size of the annular blanking port 70 self-adapts to the flow rate of the material conveying mechanism 20. The annular blanking port 70 is an annular gap, and the opening size of the annular blanking port 70 refers to the width of the annular blanking port 70 in the radial direction (i.e., the horizontal direction) of the rotating shaft 41.

[0070] During the operation of the above-mentioned spreading device, the materials in the material box of the plant protection UAV enter the material conveying mechanism 20 through the feeding port 21 provided on the material conveying mechanism 20, and the material conveying mechanism 20 conveys the materials to its discharging port 22. The materials fall from the discharging port 22 of the material conveying mechanism 20 into the blanking housing 30 and land on the deformable supporting member 60. The deformable supporting member 60 deforms with the weight of the supported materials: when the flow rate of the material conveying mechanism 20 is small, as Figure 4 shown, less materials fall from the discharging port 22, the weight of the materials supported by the deformable supporting member 60 is light, the deformable supporting member 60 deforms little, the free end 62 of the deformable supporting member 60 is relatively close to the inner wall of the blanking housing 30, and the opening size of the annular blanking port 70 is small; when the flow rate of the material conveying mechanism 20 is large, as Figure 5 shown, more materials fall from the discharging port 22, the weight of the materials supported by the deformable supporting member 60 is heavy, the deformable supporting member 60 deforms greatly, the free end 62 of the deformable supporting member 60 is relatively far from the inner wall of the blanking housing 30, and the opening size of the annular blanking port 70 is large; finally, the materials slide off the deformable supporting member 60 and fall onto the diffuse reflection surface of the throwing disc 10 through the annular blanking port 70.

[0071] After adding the deformable supporting member 60 that rotates coaxially with the throwing disc 10 in the blanking housing 30 of the spreading device in this application, the following advantages are achieved: 1. The materials slide down from the deformable supporting member 60. Under the action of the rotation of the deformable supporting member 60 and the annular blanking port 70, the materials fill the entire top surface of the deformable supporting member 60 and flow out from the annular blanking port 70, so that the materials fall evenly on the throwing disc 10 and are distributed in a ring shape, as Figure 6 shown, the material falling area 90 on the throwing disc 10 is annular, and the materials on the throwing disc 10 are evenly distributed instead of concentrated in a certain place; in this way, when the materials on the throwing disc 10 are thrown out by the rotation of the throwing disc 10, the uniformity of the thrown materials can be improved, thereby improving the uniformity of material spreading. 2. The degree of deformation of the deformable supporting member 60 and the movement amount of the free end 62 are self-adapted to the flow rate of the material conveying mechanism 20 to automatically adjust the opening size of the annular blanking port 70, and it can be well applied to different flow rates of the material conveying mechanism 20 without jamming. 3. The opening size of the annular blanking port 70 is automatically adjusted, combined with the rotation of the deformable supporting member 60, which can make the materials more evenly distributed in the annular blanking port 70, and thus fall more evenly on the throwing disc 10, ultimately greatly improving the spreading uniformity.

[0072] Furthermore, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the material conveying mechanism 20 includes a fixed conveying housing 23, a spiral feeding unit 24 rotatably supported in the conveying housing 23 and arranged horizontally, and a conveying motor 25 and a conveying drive box 26 both mounted on the conveying housing 23. The central axis of the spiral feeding unit 24 extends horizontally. The conveying motor 25 is connected to the spiral feeding unit 24 through the conveying drive box 26 to drive the spiral feeding unit 24 to rotate. Along the feeding direction of the spiral feeding unit 24, the two ends of the spiral feeding unit 24 are respectively the head end and the tail end, that is, the spiral feeding unit 24 conveys the material from its head end to its tail end; the top of the conveying housing 23 is provided with a feed port 21 at the head end of the spiral feeding unit 24, and the side of the conveying housing 23 is provided with a discharge port 22 at the tail end of the spiral feeding unit 24, and the discharge port 22 is close to the unloading cover 30. The conveying motor 25 and the conveying drive box 26 are fixed at one end of the conveying housing 23 away from the unloading cover 30. Preferably, the transmission drive box 26 is a gear box.

[0073] Furthermore, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the spinning disc driving mechanism 40 also includes a spinning disc motor 42 and a spinning disc rotation driving box 43, both of which are fixed to the top of the unloading cover shell 30, and the spinning disc motor 42 is connected to the rotating shaft 41 through the spinning disc rotation driving box 43, driving the rotating shaft 41 to rotate, thereby driving the deformation support member 60 and the spinning disc 10 to rotate. Preferably, the spinning disc rotation driving box 43 is a gear box.

[0074] Furthermore, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a control box 80 is fixed on the outer peripheral side of the discharge cover shell 30, and a controller is loaded in the control box 80. The conveying motor 25 and the swing plate motor 42 are both communicated with the controller for automatically controlling the flow rate of the material conveying mechanism 20 and the rotation speed of the swing plate 10, flexibly adjusting the material spreading range, and improving the flexibility of the spreading operation.

[0075] Furthermore, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the material discharge housing 30 includes a cylindrical body 31 and a conical body 32 fixed at the lower end of the cylindrical body 31. The cylindrical body 31 is a cylindrical structure, and the conical body 32 is a conical structure. The opening size of the conical body 32 gradually increases in the direction away from the cylindrical body 31, that is, the conical body 32 is a trumpet-shaped opening facing downward, and the spinning disc 10 is folded in the conical body 32. The lower end of the conical body 32 is slightly lower than the lower end of the spinning disc 10; the annular material discharge port 70 is formed between the free end 62 of the deformable support member 60 and the inner wall of the cylindrical body 31. Of course, in other embodiments, the cylindrical body 31 can be a square columnar structure, and the conical body 32 can be a square conical structure.

[0076] Furthermore, ifFigure 6 As shown, the throwing disc 10 is disc-shaped and made of metal to enhance its structural strength. Of course, in other embodiments, the throwing disc 10 can also be a plastic disc. The outer diameter of the throwing disc 10 is larger than the inner diameter of the cylindrical barrel 31, so that the outer edge of the throwing disc 10 is distributed on the outer peripheral side of the annular blanking port 70, enabling all the materials to fall onto the throwing disc 10.

[0077] Furthermore, there are multiple embodiments of the deformable support member 60, and three preferred embodiments of the deformable support member 60 are provided below.

[0078] Embodiment 1 of the deformable support member 60: As Figures 7 to 9 shown, the deformable support member 60 has an umbrella-like structure. The deformable support member 60 includes a support umbrella surface 63 made of a flexible material, several support ribs 64 circumferentially fixed to the support umbrella surface 63, a shaft fixing member 65 provided at the fixed end 61, and a first counterweight 66 fixedly provided at the outer ends of the respective support ribs 64. The inner circumference of the support umbrella surface 63 is fixed to the shaft fixing member 65, and the shaft fixing member 65 is fixedly sleeved on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 41. The deformable support member 60 is integrally fixed to the rotating shaft 41 through the shaft fixing member 65 and rotates together with the throwing disc 10. When no material is falling, the umbrella-like deformable support member 60 is fully opened under the action of centrifugal force and has a relatively large unfolding angle. At this time, the free end 62 can abut against the inner wall of the blanking housing 30, or there can be a small gap directly formed between the free end 62 and the inner wall of the blanking housing 30. Once material falls on the support umbrella surface 63, the increased weight causes the support umbrella surface 63 to converge towards its central axis, automatically reducing its unfolding angle to form an annular blanking port 70, which allows the material to flow out and fall onto the diffuse reflection surface of the throwing disc 10.

[0079] Preferably, the support ribs 64 can be rigid rib strips or flexible rib strips supported by elastic metals. The flexible material for making the support umbrella surface 63 is preferably a flexible woven material.

[0080] In addition, as Figure 9 shown, based on the umbrella-like structure of the deformable support member 60, the material supporting mechanism 50 further includes a support sliding sleeve 51 slidably sleeved on the rotating shaft 41, a spring 52 sleeved on the rotating shaft 41, and a support connecting rod 53 connected between the support sliding sleeve 51 and the respective support ribs 64. The two ends of the support connecting rod 53 are respectively hinged to the support sliding sleeve 51 and the support rib 64. One end of the spring 52 is fixed to the rotating shaft 41, and the other end of the spring 52 acts on the support sliding sleeve 51. After the sowing is completed, the acting force exerted on the support ribs 64 by the spring 52, the support sliding sleeve 51, and the support connecting rod 53 can better drive the deformable support member 60 to return to its initial state.

[0081] Embodiment 2 of the deformable support member 60: As Figure 10As shown, the deformable support member 60 is a blade structure. The deformable support member 60 includes several flexible blades 67 distributed circumferentially, a shaft fixing member 65 provided at the fixed end 61, and a second counterweight 68 fixedly provided at the outer ends of the flexible blades 67. The inner ends of the several flexible blades 67 are all fixed to the shaft fixing member 65, and the shaft fixing member 65 is fixedly sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 41. When there is no material falling, the deformable support member 60 of the blade structure is fully opened in the initial state and has a large unfolding angle. At this time, the free end 62 can abut against the inner wall of the blanking housing 30, or there can be a small gap directly formed between the free end 62 and the inner wall of the blanking housing 30. Once there is material falling on the flexible blades 67, the increased weight drives the flexible blades 67 to bend downward and deform, and the multiple flexible blades 67 fold up, automatically reducing their unfolding angle to form an annular blanking port 70, and the material flows out from the annular blanking port 70 and falls onto the diffuse reflection surface of the throwing disc 10. In addition, a part of adjacent two flexible blades 67 overlaps up and down. The flexible blade 67 is preferably an elastic metal sheet.

[0082] Embodiment Three of the Deformable Support Member 60: As Figure 11 shown, the deformable support member 60 is a brush structure. The deformable support member 60 includes several flexible brushes 69 distributed circumferentially and a shaft fixing member 65 provided at the fixed end 61. The inner ends of the several flexible brushes 69 are all fixed to the shaft fixing member 65, and the shaft fixing member 65 is fixedly sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 41. When there is no material falling, the deformable support member 60 of the brush structure is fully opened in the initial state and has a large unfolding angle. At this time, the free end 62 can abut against the inner wall of the blanking housing 30, or there can be a small gap directly formed between the free end 62 and the inner wall of the blanking housing 30. Once there is material falling on the flexible brushes 69, the increased weight drives the flexible brushes 69 to bend downward and deform, automatically reducing their unfolding angle to form an annular blanking port 70, and the material flows out from the annular blanking port 70 and falls onto the diffuse reflection surface of the throwing disc 10. In addition, the flexible brushes 69 can be a multi-layer structure with upper and lower layers overlapping, and the flexible brushes 69 of each layer are sparsely arranged. The flexible brush 69 is preferably made of rubber material.

[0083] In summary, the present invention effectively overcomes various drawbacks in the prior art and has high industrial utilization value.

[0084] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical idea disclosed by the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
