Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of agricultural machinery, and particularly relates to a small coix harvester. Background Art
[0002] As an important crop with both edible and medicinal values, coix is widely planted in China. However, the harvesting process of coix has long faced many difficulties. The traditional manual harvesting method still dominates today, with extremely low efficiency. A skilled worker can only harvest a small amount of coix in a day. Facing large-scale planted fields, it not only takes a long time but also requires a large amount of labor cost, greatly restricting the large-scale development of coix planting. At the same time, manual harvesting has a very high labor intensity. Long-term bending operations are likely to cause physical injuries such as lumbar muscle strain, and it is difficult to ensure the consistency and accuracy of harvesting by manual operation, resulting in problems such as coix seeds falling off and uneven cutting of the stalks, causing food waste.
[0003] With the advancement of agricultural mechanization, although some general-purpose harvesters have been applied to coix harvesting, the results are not good. Most of these harvesters are designed for crops such as rice and wheat, and their cutting, threshing and other structures are difficult to adapt to the characteristics of coix stalks being tough and the special distribution of spike grains. In actual operation, there are often situations where coix stalks are difficult to cut and threshing is incomplete, and the remaining grains need secondary processing, increasing production costs. In addition, existing harvesters generally have the problems of large volume and complex structure, and cannot operate flexibly in small or complex terrain plots such as narrow ridges and mountain terraced fields. Moreover, the equipment is expensive and the maintenance cost is high. For the majority of small and medium-sized coix growers, the applicability and economy are not ideal. Therefore, developing a small harvester specifically designed for coix, which is efficient and practical, has become an urgent need in the industry. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above problems and provide a small coix harvester. To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0042] The present invention will be introduced in detail and specifically through specific embodiments below to better understand the present invention. However, the following embodiments do not limit the protection scope of the present invention.
[0043] Embodiment 1
[0044] This embodiment discloses a small coix harvester.
[0045] As Figures 1 to 9 shown, this embodiment includes a harvester main body 1, and the harvester main body 1 includes a support frame 2, a harvesting assembly 3, a conveying assembly, a threshing assembly 7, and a collecting assembly 8. The support frame 2 provides stable support for other components, and moving wheels 21 are installed at the bottom for easy movement in the field. Acrylic plates 22 are provided on both sides, which not only protect the safety of the operator but also facilitate observing the internal working conditions of the machine. The harvesting assembly 3, the conveying assembly, the threshing assembly 7, and the collecting assembly 8 are orderly installed on the support frame 2 to cooperate to complete the coix harvesting operation.
[0046] Harvesting component 3: The harvesting component 3 realizes segmented cutting with three cutting blades to accurately intercept the effective length. Two of the first cutting blades 31 are located below the reel component 5 to initially cut the coix stems; one second cutting blade 32 is arranged below the front end of the clamping conveyor belt component 6 for secondary cutting to ensure clean and neat cutting. The first motor 33 is fixed to the support frame 2 to drive the cutting blades to rotate at high speed, providing power for the cutting operation.
[0047] Conveyor component
[0048] Reel component 5: It consists of two reel shafts 51 and a second motor 52. Each reel shaft 51 is equipped with two upper reels 53 and two lower reels 54. The four pairs of composite wheels in the upper and lower layers rotate counterclockwise inward and form a specific height difference. This design can effectively gather the randomly growing coix rods, comb them neatly and guide them to the clamping conveyor belt component 6 to ensure smooth subsequent transportation.
[0049] Clamping conveyor belt component 6: This component is composed of two symmetrically arranged vertical clamping conveyor belts 61. The conveyor belts are successively provided with a first roller 62, a second roller 63, and a third roller 64 from front to back. The diameter of the first roller 62 is smaller than that of the second roller 63, and the diameters of the second roller 63 and the third roller 64 are equal. This design of the roller diameter difference causes a change in tension when the clamping conveyor belt 61 operates, thereby clamping the coix rods more forcefully to prevent slipping or deviation during transportation. The third motor 65 is installed on the third roller 64 to drive the clamping conveyor belt 61 to operate and convey the coix stems backward to the threshing component 7.
[0050] Horizontal conveyor belt 4: It is vertically arranged behind the clamping conveyor belt component 6, and one side receives the materials conveyed by the end of the clamping conveyor belt component 6. The fifth motor 41 drives the horizontal conveyor belt 4 to operate, transporting the waste straw after threshing laterally to separate the straw from the coix seeds, facilitating subsequent cleaning.
[0051] Threshing Component 7: The core of the threshing component 7 is the threshing brush cylinder and the parallelogram component. The threshing brush cylinder consists of two pairs of symmetrically arranged threshing rotating cylinders 71 on the left and right, and the surface of the rotating cylinder is evenly covered with nylon brushes 72. During operation, the two pairs of threshing rotating cylinders 71 rotate against each other, and the nylon brushes 72 generate frictional force to make the coix seeds fall off from the stalks. The parallelogram component includes two gears (the driving gear 73 and the driven gear 74), and two pairs of connecting rod components (the short connecting rod 75 and the long connecting rod 76). The short connecting rod 75 is rotatably connected to both ends of the long connecting rod 76. The driving gear 73 and the driven gear 74 are respectively installed on the symmetric threshing rotating cylinders 71. Both ends of the long connecting rod 76 are connected to the threshing rotating cylinder 71 on the same side by the short connecting rod 75, and the gear is fixed to the short connecting rod 75 at one end of the long connecting rod 76. The fourth motor 77 drives the threshing rotating cylinder 71 where the driving gear 73 is located. Through gear transmission and the movement of the connecting rod mechanism, the threshing rotating cylinder 71 moves, increasing the contact area and time between the nylon brush 72 and the coix stalks, improving the threshing efficiency and effect, and ensuring that the seeds fall off completely.
[0052] Collection Component 8: The lifting conveyor 81 serves as the main body of the collection component 8 and is composed of a lifting belt 82 and a bearing sleeve 83. The lifting belt 82 is arranged in an obtuse-angle fold, and the front end is located below the rear side of the horizontal conveyor belt 4, used to receive the threshed coix. Multiple rolling cylinders 84 are sleeved inside the lifting belt 82 to provide operating power and support. Limiting rollers 85 are provided on both sides of the folding part and fixed to the bearing sleeve 83 to limit the movement trajectory of the lifting belt 82 and prevent deviation. Baffles 86 are evenly distributed on the lifting belt 82, effectively preventing the coix from falling during transportation. After the coix is successfully lifted to a certain height, it falls into the collection box at the end of the device to complete the collection operation.
[0053] Control System: The main body 1 of the harvester is equipped with a single-chip microcomputer co-execution system, which establishes connections with the harvesting component 3, the conveying component, the threshing component 7, and the collection component 8 through electrical connections. The system integrates a Bluetooth module, and the operator can remotely control the operation of each component through terminal devices such as mobile phones, and adjust the working parameters in real time, such as the cutting speed, the conveying rate, the threshing force, etc. At the same time, the control system monitors the working status of each component in real time. Once an abnormality occurs (such as motor overload, conveyor belt jamming, etc.), it immediately issues an alarm and takes shutdown protection measures to ensure the safe and stable operation of the equipment.
[0054] The specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but they are only examples, and the present invention is not equivalent to the specific embodiments described above. For those skilled in the art, any equivalent modifications and substitutions made to the present invention are also within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent transformations and modifications made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be covered within the scope of the present invention.
