Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tree whitewashing, and in particular to a mechanical tree whitewashing device for forestry and a method of using the same. Background Art

[0002] In traditional forestry tree whitewashing operations, the encircling structure of whitewashing equipment has always been cumbersome to operate and has poor adaptability. Most devices use a rigid encircling structure, requiring manual adjustment of the encircling components' position and angle before operation to accommodate tree trunks of varying thicknesses and shapes. This not only consumes a significant amount of manpower and time, but also makes it difficult to fit tightly to irregular trunks, leading to leaks during the whitewashing process. Furthermore, the rigid encircling structure occupies a large amount of space during movement and storage, hindering transportation and storage, significantly limiting the efficiency and convenience of whitewashing operations.

[0003] At the same time, existing whitewashing devices operate independently from each other in the spraying and drying stages. After spraying, the whitewashing agent often relies on natural air drying, which is slow in environments with high humidity and low temperatures. Any whitewashing agent that hasn't dried in time tends to drip downward under the influence of gravity, resulting in wasted whitewashing agent and uneven whitewashing. Even in some devices equipped with a hot air drying function, the hot air channel and surrounding structure are separate, independent components, resulting in a complex equipment structure, high manufacturing costs, and low efficiency in the coordinated operation of the various components.

[0004] Therefore, how to design an embracing structure that can flexibly adapt to different tree trunk shapes, be easy to move and store, and realize simultaneous spraying and drying operations, promote the rapid drying of the whitewash agent and combine with the trunk surface, has become a key problem in the current development of forestry tree whitewashing technology.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The following describes the implementation of the present invention through specific embodiments. People skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification.

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 5. It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the drawings of this specification are only used to match the contents disclosed in the specification for people familiar with this technology to understand and read, and are not used to limit the limiting conditions for the implementation of the present invention. Therefore, they have no substantive technical significance. Any modification of the structure, change in the proportional relationship or adjustment of the size should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed by the present invention without affecting the efficacy and purpose that can be achieved by the present invention. At the same time, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" quoted in this specification are only for the convenience of description, and are not used to limit the scope of the implementation of the present invention. Changes or adjustments in their relative relationships should also be regarded as the scope of the implementation of the present invention without substantially changing the technical content.

[0037] This invention provides a technical solution: a mechanical tree whitewashing device for forestry use. This device utilizes a cross-drive mechanism 1 for spatial positioning. The device utilizes a reciprocating mechanism 2, a cross-flow hot air blower 3, a flat nickel-titanium shape memory alloy tube 4, and an adaptive spray mechanism 5 to achieve automated whitewashing and drying of trees. The following describes the various components and operating procedures in detail, using specific embodiments.

[0038] The cross-drive mechanism 1 is the basis for the entire device to achieve spatial movement. The hydraulic cylinder 101, which is fixedly installed on the mobile trolley, uses a double-acting hydraulic cylinder with adjustable stroke. Its telescopic distance in the horizontal direction can be accurately controlled by the hydraulic control system. The maximum stroke is set to 1.5 meters to meet the operational needs of trees with different spacings. The first linear motor 102 is vertically installed at the transmission end of the hydraulic cylinder 101. Its slide rail adopts a high-precision linear guide rail, and the slider is fixedly connected to the hanging plate 103 by bolts. The driving motor of the first linear motor 102 uses a servo motor, which can achieve precise displacement control at the level of 0.1mm, ensuring that the hanging plate 103 can be lifted and lowered smoothly in the vertical direction. The lifting range is 0-3 meters, which is suitable for the whitewashing of trees of different heights.

[0039] In the reciprocating rotating mechanism 2, the U-shaped frame 201 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy and is fixed to the side wall of the hanging plate 103 near the bottom by welding. The side wall of the U-shaped frame 201 is slidably connected with the first curved rod 202, the second curved rod 203, and the T-shaped rod 204. The first curved rod 202, the second curved rod 203, and the T-shaped rod 204 are all made of stainless steel to ensure smooth and stable sliding. The curved rack 211 is fixed to the outer wall of the second curved rod 203 via a key connection, and the teeth 205 are machined on the side wall of the T-shaped rod 204 by a milling process. Both have a module of 2 and a pressure angle of 20°, ensuring good meshing transmission.

[0040] The motor 206 is a stepper motor with a speed reducer having a reduction ratio of 1:10 and is connected to the central axis of the disc 207 via a coupling. The diameter of the disc 207 is 150 mm, and the drive shaft 208 is eccentrically mounted 50 mm from the center of the disc. The strip hole 210 on the rectangular plate 209 is 100 mm long and 1 mm wider than the outer diameter of the drive shaft 208 to ensure that the drive shaft 208 can slide flexibly within the strip hole 210. When the motor 206 is powered on, the disc 207 drives the drive shaft 208 to move in a circular trajectory. Under the restriction of the strip hole 210, the rectangular plate 209 and the T-bar 204 perform reciprocating linear motion in the horizontal direction, and then through the engagement of the teeth 205 with the arc rack 211, the second arc rod 203 drives the cross-flow hot air blower 3 and the flat nickel-titanium memory alloy tube 4 to achieve forward and reverse reciprocating rotation.

[0041] The housing of the crossflow hot air blower 3 is made of high-temperature-resistant engineering plastic and houses an adjustable heating wire with a power adjustment range of 500-2000W. The crossflow hot air blower 3 is bolted to the first and second curved rods 202, 203. A filter is installed at its air inlet to prevent debris from entering and affecting the operation of the hot air blower. The air outlet of the crossflow hot air blower 3 is sealed with a flange to the middle of one side of the flat nickel-titanium memory alloy tube 4, ensuring leak-free hot air transmission.

[0042] The thickness of the flat nickel-titanium memory alloy tube 4 is 2mm, the width is 50mm, and the length is customized according to actual needs, generally 2-3 meters. At both ends of the flat nickel-titanium memory alloy tube 4, an iron block 402 is welded at one end, and an on-off electromagnet 403 is installed at the other end. The suction force of the electromagnet 403 is greater than 100N, ensuring that the flat nickel-titanium memory alloy tube 4 can be firmly adsorbed when bent into a circular shape. When the cross-flow hot air blower 3 turns on the heating wire for heating and blows hot air at a temperature of 40-60°C into the interior of the flat nickel-titanium memory alloy tube 4, the flat nickel-titanium memory alloy tube 4 gradually bends into a circular shape due to the high-temperature phase change; when the whitewashing work is completed, the heating wire is turned off, and the flat nickel-titanium memory alloy tube 4 cools naturally at ambient temperature, and the low-temperature phase change returns to a flat strip, making it easy to transfer the device to the next tree.

[0043] In the adaptive spray mechanism 5, two rectangular frames 501 are symmetrically welded to the sidewalls of the flat nickel-titanium memory alloy tube 4. The internal dimensions of the rectangular frames 501 match those of the movable plate 503. A low-friction polytetrafluoroethylene gasket is used between the movable plate 503 and the inner wall of the rectangular frame 501 to reduce sliding resistance. A fixed rod 504 is threadedly fixed to the inner wall of the rectangular frame 501. A compression spring 505 is used with an elastic coefficient of 10 N / mm and a pre-compression of 10 mm, ensuring that the curved spring 502 provides stable elastic support for the notched spherical shell 507.

[0044] The notched spherical shell 507 has a notch angle of 120°, and the sphere 508 embedded inside has a diameter of 20mm. It is made of high-hardness ceramic and has a polished surface to reduce friction with the tree trunk. The connecting block 506 is fixed to the arc-shaped spring 502 by welding. The second linear motor 509 is installed at the bottom of the connecting block 506. Its stroke is 200mm and can drive the J-shaped plate 510 and the skewed nozzle 511 to move precisely in the vertical direction. The spray angle of the skewed nozzle 511 is 45°. By adjusting the flow control valve of the nozzle, the spray volume of the whitewash agent can be controlled between 50-200ml / min.

[0045] The bellows 512 is made of silicone, offering excellent flexibility and sealing properties. Its inner diameter is 10mm and its outer diameter is 15mm. A connecting tube 513, a flexible hose, connects the bellows 512 in sequence, with one end connected to an air pump. The pump's suction pressure is -0.05MPa, and the tension of the curved spring 502 is adjusted by controlling its start and stop.

[0046] Specific implementation of the device usage method:

[0047] Step 1: Positioning:

[0048] The operator drives the mobile cart and moves the device near the tree to be whitewashed. By pressing a button on the control panel, the cross-drive mechanism 1 is activated. Hydraulic cylinder 101 is first controlled to extend and retract horizontally, moving the flat NiTi memory alloy tube 4 to the base of the tree, maintaining a horizontal distance of 10-20 cm from the trunk. The first linear motor 102 then adjusts the height of the hanging plate 103, aligning the bottom of the flat NiTi memory alloy tube 4 with the base of the tree trunk.

[0049] Step 2: Hug the tree trunk:

[0050] On the control panel, activate crossflow hot air blower 3 and the heating wire heating function, setting the temperature to 50°C. Crossflow hot air blower 3 delivers hot air into the flat nickel-titanium memory alloy tube 4. After approximately 30 seconds, the flat nickel-titanium memory alloy tube 4 gradually bends into a ring shape due to the high-temperature phase transition. Once the flat nickel-titanium memory alloy tube 4 is bent into place, electromagnet 403 is energized, causing it to attach to iron block 402, completing the encircling and securing of the tree trunk.

[0051] Step 3: Tighten the spraying mechanism:

[0052] An air pump is used to release pressure from the bellows 512. The curved spring piece 502 returns to its original shape, the bellows 512 stretches, and the center of the curved spring piece 502 moves away from the flat nickel-titanium memory alloy tube 4, allowing the spheres 508 of the adaptive spray mechanism 5 to simultaneously press against the tree. By monitoring the feedback from the pressure sensors on the device, the contact pressure between each sphere 508 and the tree trunk is maintained at 1-2N.

[0053] Step 4: Spraying and moving:

[0054] Turn on the whitening agent delivery pump and deliver the whitening agent to each skew nozzle 511 through the pipeline. Start the second linear motor 509, drive the skew nozzle 511 down to the root of the trunk, set the spray flow rate of the nozzle to 100ml / min, and start spraying the root trunk. During the spraying process, the second linear motor 509 lifts the skew nozzle 511 upward at a speed of 5mm / s. When the skew nozzle 511 is close to the sphere 508, start the cross drive mechanism 1, and pull the annular flat nickel-titanium memory alloy tube 4 upward at a speed of 10mm / s; at the same time, start the reciprocating rotation mechanism 2, and the motor 206 runs at a speed of 10 rpm to drive the annular flat nickel-titanium memory alloy tube 4 to rotate back and forth, so as to achieve uniform spraying of the full height of the trunk.

[0055] Step 5: Drying:

[0056] During the spraying process, cross-flow hot air blower 3 operates continuously, blowing hot air from strip-shaped air outlet 401 toward the whitewash on the tree. The hot air is maintained at a temperature of 40-50°C and a speed of 5-8 m / s, accelerating the drying process of the whitewash. When the whitewashing of a tree is complete, the heating wire is turned off, the air pump and whitewash delivery pump are stopped, and electromagnet 403 is de-energized. The flat nickel-titanium memory alloy tube 4 returns to its flat strip shape due to natural cooling. The operator then drives the mobile cart to the next tree and repeats the above process.

[0057] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical principles disclosed herein are intended to be covered by the claims of the present invention.
