Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural machinery technology, and in particular relates to a double-ridge four-row carrot harvester. Background Technology

[0002] Carrots are one of the major economic crops and are widely distributed around the world. my country has a large carrot harvesting area. With the development of productivity, carrot harvesting machines that replace manual harvesting have gradually appeared on the market.

[0003] Chinese patent application CN201410777978.9 discloses a self-propelled double-row carrot combine harvester, including a tracked chassis, a hydraulic system, and a frame. The frame includes a front frame and a rear frame. The front frame is installed at the front end of the power output shaft on one side of the tracked chassis, and the rear frame is fixed to the tracked chassis. The front frame is equipped with a depth-limiting wheel, a digging device, a seedling lifting and guiding device, an inclined clamping and conveying device, a soil-removing device, and a seedling cutting device. The rear frame is equipped with a horizontal belt conveyor and a lifting and collecting device. The seedling lifting and guiding device consists of a rotating seedling lifting roller, a hydraulic motor, and a guide rod. The rotating seedling lifting roller lifts the carrot seedlings, while the digging shovel loosens the soil under the carrots. The seedlings are fed between two clamping rubber belts under the guidance of the guide rod. However, the mature carrot tops (i.e., carrot seedlings) are relatively long and irregularly shaped. The carrot tops are difficult to harvest when the rotating seedling lifting roller lifts the carrot seedlings. During the process of lifting the carrots with rollers and feeding them between the two clamping rubber belts under the guidance of guide rods, it is difficult to ensure that the carrot tops do not fall over, especially when harvesting plots where two rows of carrots are planted on one ridge. The problem is even more pronounced when the carrots are harvested together, making it difficult to guide and feed both rows of carrots into the two clamping rubber belts for transport. The lifting and collecting device is located on the right side of the horizontal clamping conveyor and includes a grid conveyor belt, a rear baffle, a conveyor chain device, side baffles, a support frame, and a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor drives the grid conveyor belt to operate. The grid conveyor belt first transports the carrots horizontally and then obliquely upwards, lifting them to a certain height before throwing them into the collecting bags of the fixed support frame and auxiliary frame. However, this lifting and collecting device has a simple structure and a short size. It can only throw the carrots into the collecting bags installed on this equipment and cannot transport the carrots to the auxiliary harvesting transfer vehicle, which limits the harvest quantity and harvesting efficiency.

[0004] The invention patent application with application number CN201811591794.8 discloses an integrated device for plant clamping, conveying, and root cutting and separating for a carrot harvester. The device includes a plant clamping and conveying assembly and a root cutting and separating assembly. The plant clamping and conveying assembly is mounted on the machine body and comprises two individual plant clamping and conveying units, each corresponding to the clamping, pulling, and conveying of one row of carrot plants. A double-row supporting and feeding device is fixedly mounted on the driven wheel connector of the plant clamping and conveying unit assembly. This device separates, lifts, and guides the two rows of seedlings into the conveyor belts. Simultaneously, a digging shovel loosens the carrots under the constraint of a double-wheel depth limiting device. The carrot plants are then clamped and pulled by the plant clamping and conveying assembly and conveyed upwards and backwards. However, due to structural limitations, this double-row supporting and feeding device cannot guide and feed two rows of carrots together into the two conveyor belts; it can only feed them separately.

[0005] In addition, the invention patent application with application number CN202010498132.7 discloses a high-efficiency radish harvester, and the invention patent application with application number CN202110084893.2 discloses a modern agricultural high-efficiency carrot harvester. Their seedling feeding device has a simple structure, but it also has the problem of poor carrot top gathering effect, easy lodging, and difficulty in guiding carrots into the clamping and conveying device for high-quality transportation.

[0019] This invention employs the aforementioned technical solution, featuring ingenious design and rational structure. Through the optimized design of the feeding device, the feeding inlet improves the guiding feeding effect of carrots. The sharp teeth on the first and second toothed chains actuate the carrots at the feeding inlet, significantly improving the quality of the carrots entering the inclined clamping conveyor. Furthermore, the power for the first and second toothed chains comes from the corresponding inclined clamping conveyor, improving power utilization, reducing energy consumption, and making the structure more compact. Additionally, the shapes of the two clamping conveyor belts at their front ends match the shape of the feeding inlet, forming a feeding channel near the inlet. This ensures that the carrots at the feeding inlet can smoothly enter the conveying channel of the inclined clamping conveyor, providing stable transport. As the carrots pass through the feeding inlet and feeding channel, the auxiliary feeding inlet and auxiliary feeding channel effectively guide and straighten the upper part of the carrot tops, further improving the feeding quality during the carrot feeding process.

[0020] Through the rational design of the fruit collection and conveying device, the first and second fruit collection drive units drive the second and third fruit collection support units, which can adjust the extension length and height of the fruit collection and conveying device to put it in working condition. At this time, driven by the third hydraulic motor, the fruit collection and conveying device is perpendicular to the direction of travel of the carrot harvester, thus facilitating the transport of carrots with trimmed tops to transfer vehicles of different sizes. The fruit collection and conveying device can also rotate to both sides of the direction of travel of the carrot harvester. In particular, through the rational design of the second fruit collection drive unit, the rotation angle range of the third fruit collection support unit around the second fruit collection support unit is greatly improved, thus facilitating the adjustment of the fruit collection and conveying device to a non-working state. At this time, driven by the third hydraulic motor, the fruit collection and conveying device rotates 90° to be aligned with the direction of travel of the carrot harvester, facilitating the movement and transport of the carrot harvester when it is not in harvesting condition.

Detailed Implementation

[0039] like Figure 1-16 As shown: A double-ridge four-row carrot harvester includes a frame 1, a power unit 2 installed inside the frame 1, a walking device 3 installed below the frame 1, the walking device 3 being a tracked walking device, inclined clamping conveyor devices 4 installed on both sides of the frame 1, the two inclined clamping conveyor devices 4 being symmetrically arranged, a support adjustment device 9 for adjusting the interval distance and front end height between the two inclined clamping conveyor devices 4, a feeding device 5 installed at the front end of each of the two inclined clamping conveyor devices 4, a tassel-supporting device 6 installed above the side of each of the two feeding devices 5, a gathering component 7 fixedly connected to the lower part of each of the two tassel-supporting devices 6 away from the frame 1, a digging device 8 installed below the two feeding devices 5, a tassel-cutting device 10 installed at the rear end of each of the two inclined clamping conveyor devices 4, and a fruit-collecting conveyor 11 installed below the two tassel-cutting devices 10.

[0040] With this design, when harvesting carrots, the carrot tops of the two rows on the same ridge are first gathered into the gathering component 7. As the equipment continues to move forward, the fallen carrot tops are lifted and supported by the top-supporting device 6, making it easier for the carrot tops to enter the feeding device 5, and then smoothly enter the front end of the inclined clamping conveyor 4. This facilitates the guidance and sorting of the messy carrot tops before the digging device 8 digs out the carrots, and makes it easier for the inclined clamping conveyor 4 to stably transport the carrots after they are dug out.

[0041] The inclined clamping and conveying device 4 includes a conveying bracket 401, on which two clamping and conveying unit groups are arranged.

[0042] The clamping and conveying unit includes a clamping drive wheel 402, a clamping driven wheel 403, a clamping conveyor belt 404, and multiple tensioning wheel assemblies 405. A first hydraulic motor 406 is installed on the conveying bracket 401 near the clamping drive wheel 402. The output end of the first hydraulic motor 406 is connected to the clamping drive wheel 402 for driving the clamping drive wheel 402 to rotate, thereby driving the clamping conveyor belt 404 to rotate, thus conveying the carrots from the feeding device 5.

[0043] The support adjustment device 9 includes a rotating drum 901, which is rotatably connected to the frame 1 via bearing assemblies 902 at both ends. Two symmetrically arranged spacing adjustment components are provided inside the rotating drum 901. The ends of the two spacing adjustment components that are far apart from each other are fixedly connected to their corresponding conveying brackets 401, thereby ensuring that the two inclined clamping conveying devices 4 can rotate around the axis of the rotating drum 901, so that the front end of the inclined clamping conveying device 4 can approach or move away from the soil ridge where carrots are planted.

[0044] On the side of the two conveying brackets 401 that are close to each other, a sleeve 903 and a connecting rod 904 are respectively fixed. The connecting rod 904 is sleeved inside the sleeve 903 and slidably connected to it. The sleeve 903 and the connecting rod 904 are fixed together by bolts.

[0045] A first hydraulic cylinder 905 is hinged to the frame 1, and the piston rod of the first hydraulic cylinder 905 is hinged to the sleeve 903.

[0046] This design allows for easy adjustment of the height of the front end of the inclined clamping conveyor 4 via the first hydraulic cylinder 905, thereby ensuring that the feeding device 5, the tassel-supporting device 6, and the gathering assembly 7 are at the optimal harvesting height, thus improving the harvesting quality of carrots.

[0047] The spacing adjustment assembly includes a fixed frame 906, which is fixedly connected to its corresponding conveying bracket 401. An adjusting rod 907 is rotatably connected inside the fixed frame 906. A threaded disc is fixedly connected inside the rotating drum 901. One end of the adjusting rod 907 extends into the rotating drum 901 and is threadedly connected to the threaded disc. The other end of the adjusting rod 907 extends to the outside of the fixed frame 906 and is provided with an adjusting head.

[0048] This design allows the rotating adjustment head to easily drive the adjustment rod 907 to rotate. Since the adjustment rod 907 is threadedly connected to the threaded disc fixedly installed inside the rotating drum 901, it can drive the two fixed frames 906 to move closer or further away from each other, and thus drive the two inclined clamping conveying devices 4 to move closer or further away from each other. This allows the spacing between the two inclined clamping conveying devices 4 to be adjusted according to the spacing of the soil mound. After adjustment, the locking bolts are tightened to fix the sleeve 903 and the connecting rod 904 together, thereby firmly connecting the two inclined clamping conveying devices 4 to the frame 1.

[0049] The feeding device 5 includes a first support plate 501 and a second support plate 502, both of which are fixedly connected to the corresponding conveying bracket 401.

[0050] A first connecting post 503 is fixedly connected to the first support plate 501. A first sprocket is rotatably connected to the first connecting post 503. A clamping driven wheel 403 installed on the clamping and conveying unit corresponding to the first support plate 501 is rotatably sleeved on the first connecting post 503. The first sprocket is fixedly connected to its corresponding clamping driven wheel 403. A first support post 504 is fixedly connected to the first support plate 501. A second sprocket is rotatably connected to the first support post 504. A first toothed chain 509 is meshed between the first sprocket and the second sprocket.

[0051] A third connecting column 510 is fixedly connected to the second support plate 502. A third sprocket is rotatably connected to the third connecting column 510. A clamping driven wheel 403 installed on the clamping and conveying unit corresponding to the second support plate 502 is rotatably sleeved on the third connecting column 510. The third sprocket is fixedly connected to its corresponding clamping driven wheel 403. A second support column 511 is fixedly connected to the second support plate 502. A fourth sprocket is rotatably connected to the second support column 511. A second toothed chain 516 is meshed between the third sprocket and the fourth sprocket. A feed inlet with a trapezoidal cross-section is formed between the second toothed chain 516 and the first toothed chain 509.

[0052] This design improves the guiding effect of carrot feeding at the feeding inlet. The sharp teeth on the first toothed chain 509 and the second toothed chain 516 actuate the carrot at the feeding inlet, greatly improving the quality of the carrot entering the inclined clamping conveyor 4. Furthermore, the power of the first toothed chain 509 and the second toothed chain 516 comes from the corresponding clamping driven wheel 403.
