Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, and in particular to a creeping soil-turning device. Background Technology

[0002] Before planting crops, it is often necessary to turn the soil to make it looser, improve soil aeration, remove weeds and pests, and benefit crop growth.

[0003] Traditional wheeled or tracked tillage equipment tends to compact soil (especially the subsoil) when moving in the field due to concentrated loads, damaging the soil's pore structure and surface straw, thus affecting root growth and water penetration. Furthermore, it is prone to slipping and getting stuck in wet, soft, uneven, or stubble-covered fields, impacting operational efficiency.

[0004] When tilling soil, tilling equipment often encounters stones on the soil surface. When the stones are too large, they can cause the blades to grind or bend, reducing their lifespan and affecting the tilling effect. When the stones are small, they can easily be caught in the soil as the tilling equipment's blades cut into it, and then buried in the soil as the tilling action progresses. This causes the stones to occupy the effective space in the soil, reducing soil porosity and thus affecting soil aeration and permeability, which is detrimental to crop cultivation.

[0005] Many existing soil turning devices can only dig soil at a single depth. Some improved devices can dig soil layers at different depths by adjusting the swing angle of the digging head. However, because the soil layers are sticky and moist, the soil layers are not evenly mixed, which may lead to inconsistent soil thickness covering the seeds, affecting the germination rate and uniformity of seedling emergence. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a creeping soil turning device.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a creeping soil turning device, including a creeping mechanism, a stone picking mechanism disposed at the front end of the creeping mechanism, a soil turning mechanism disposed on the creeping mechanism and located behind the stone picking mechanism, and a water spraying mechanism disposed on the creeping mechanism and located behind the soil turning mechanism.

[0012] Furthermore, the flipping mechanism includes a receiving plate, with both ends of the receiving plate rotatably connected to the stone-picking frame via connecting shafts. A first driven gear is provided on one side of the connecting shaft, and a flipping motor is provided on the stone-picking frame. The output shaft end of the flipping motor is provided with a first driving gear that meshes with the first driven gear.

[0013] Furthermore, the gripping manipulator includes a bending fixed plate and a swing frame hinged to both sides of the bending fixed plate. The middle part of the swing frame is hinged to the bending fixed plate. A cylinder is provided on the bending fixed plate. The piston rod end of the cylinder is hinged to the rear end of the swing frame. The front end of the swing frame is provided with an inwardly bent part. A stone clamping plate is rotatably provided on the bent part. The stone clamping plate is rotatably connected to the bent part through a rotating shaft. A second driven gear is provided on the rotating shaft. An adjusting motor is provided on the bent part.

[0014] Furthermore, the tilling mechanism includes a support plate, which is set on the corresponding connecting plate at a certain angle, which is 60°-75°. The support plate is provided with a lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism is provided with a blade mounting plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a rack slidably mounted on a support plate, with sliding plates at the upper and lower ends of the rack, a positioning seat on the support plate, the sliding plates sliding through the positioning seat, linear guide rails on both sides of the rack on the support plate, a tool holder mounting plate mounted on the rack, a slider at the lower end of the tool holder mounting plate that slides with the linear guide rails, and a lifting motor on the support plate, with a drive gear meshing with the rack at the end of the output shaft of the lifting motor.

[0016] Furthermore, the water spraying mechanism includes a water storage tank, a water pump and a water delivery pipe are provided on the outer wall of the water storage tank, the input end and output end of the water pump are connected to the water storage tank and the water delivery pipe through a pipe, multiple nozzles are evenly distributed on the water delivery pipe, and an electromagnetic switch valve is also provided on the water delivery pipe.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: 1. The peristaltic crawling mechanism of this application adopts a unique peristaltic component and connection method, which can move flexibly in fields with different terrains, reduce soil compaction, adapt to complex terrains such as mountains and hills, and the movement process is stable with minimal impact on the surrounding environment. The peristaltic crawling mechanism is biomimetic to caterpillars and inchworms in nature. It achieves peristaltic crawling on the ground by controlling the movement of multiple linkages through a motor, and disperses the pressure of the machine body on the soil through flexible movement, simulating the gradual contact between organisms and soil, reducing local compaction, and maintaining soil looseness and aeration.

[0018] 2. Traditional planting machinery relies on wheels or tracks for movement, making it difficult to operate flexibly in irregular terrains such as terraces, slopes, orchards, or greenhouses. This invention, however, adapts to complex terrains, enabling continuous, stable, and controllable movement through a wave-like, creeping motion. In clay soil, traditional machinery is prone to efficiency degradation due to soil adhesion, while the wave-like "peel-and-push" mechanism reduces adhesion, significantly improving operational efficiency.

[0019] 3. The wave-like peristalsis generates multi-directional and multi-layered soil shear forces through segmented alternating pressure and release. This discontinuous dynamic disturbance effectively breaks up the soil compaction layer while reducing damage to the deep soil structure. The wave-like motion improves the uniformity of soil fragmentation through randomized stress distribution. In addition, the "arching-contraction" action of the peristaltic mechanism can simultaneously achieve surface loosening and subsurface soil fragmentation, avoiding the problem of "over-fragmentation of the surface and lack of loosening of the deep layer" caused by the fixed depth of traditional machinery.

[0020] 4. This application utilizes a stone-picking mechanism to remove stones, avoiding direct impact on the rotary tiller blades, extending their lifespan, and increasing soil porosity. After picking up the stones, the tiller blades are moved up and down during operation to till the soil at different depths, improving soil mixing uniformity and adapting to the needs of different crops. A watering mechanism is installed behind the rotary tiller blades to immediately moisten the soil with water mist during tilling, reducing soil scattering, suppressing dust generation, and moistening the surface soil. Traditional equipment requires three operations, but this device integrates stone picking, tilling, and watering, completing multiple soil treatment tasks in one operation. This reduces the number of times the equipment needs to enter the field, lowers the risk of soil compaction, reduces energy consumption, and improves operational efficiency, providing a one-stop solution for sustainable agriculture, from soil improvement to planting preparation.

[0021] 5. The stone-collecting mechanism, through the cooperation of a flipping mechanism, a horizontally moving linear module, and a gripping robot, can accurately grasp stones from the soil and transport them to the stone storage bin via a conveyor belt. This effectively removes stones from the soil, providing favorable conditions for subsequent tilling and planting operations. The special structural design of the gripping robot enhances its stone-grabbing ability and improves stone-collecting efficiency.

[0022] 6. The support plate and connecting plate of the soil turning mechanism are at a specific angle. Together with the lifting mechanism and rotary tillage blade, it can perform soil turning operations with adjustable depth, making the soil loose and uniform, improving soil structure, and benefiting crop root growth.

[0023] 7. The water spraying mechanism uses a combination of a water storage tank, a water pump, and high-pressure atomizing nozzles, which can evenly spray water onto the tilled soil, ensuring suitable soil moisture and providing good water conditions for crop seed germination and growth. The electromagnetic switch valve facilitates control of the water spraying start / stop and water volume. Attached Figure Description

It can accurately identify the position, size, and shape of the stones, thereby achieving precise forward movement and stone picking.

[0052] Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. Several other embodiments based on the design concept of the present invention are also provided below.

[0053] For example, in other embodiments, unlike the embodiments described above, an air suction box is provided on the inner side of the stone clamping plate 105. The air suction box has multiple air extraction holes facing the stone clamping plate 105, and adsorption holes are provided on the stone clamping plate 105 opposite to the air extraction holes. The air suction box is connected to an air extraction pump 109 via an air extraction pipe. The air suction box and the air extraction pump 109 work together to enhance the gripping effect.

[0054] For example, in other embodiments, unlike the embodiments described above, the angle between the stone-collecting mechanism 1 and the ground is set between 25° and 35°. Specifically, the angle between the stone-collecting mechanism 1 and the ground is 25 degrees.

[0055] The working principle of this application is as follows: The device is moved to the farmland to be treated, and the water storage tank 501 is filled with water. The control unit activates the miniature lidar sensor to scan and locate the distribution of stones in the soil. The creeping mechanism 2 drives the device to move slowly in the field. When a stone is detected, the control unit controls the flipping mechanism to rotate, so that the horizontal moving linear module 115 reaches the appropriate position. Then, the control unit controls the horizontal moving linear module 115 to drive the gripping manipulator to move horizontally to the location of the stone. The motor 107 is adjusted to finely adjust the angle of the stone clamping plate 105, and the cylinder 103 pushes the swing frame 101 to close, so that the stone clamping plate 105 clamps the stone. At the same time, the air pump 109 works to enhance the gripping stability through the air suction box and suction hole. Then the flipping motor 113 starts, and the flipping motor 113 drives the receiving plate 114 to flip through the first driving gear 116 and the first driven gear 117, which in turn drives the horizontal moving linear module 115 to flip, thereby driving the gripping robot to flip so that the gripping robot is above the conveyor belt 112. Then the cylinder 103 pushes the swing frame 101 to open, and the two stone clamping plates 105 release the stone. The stone falls onto the conveyor belt 112, and the conveyor belt 112 transports the stone into the stone storage bin 111, completing the stone picking operation.

[0056] After the stone removal operation is completed, the control unit controls the lifting motor 411 according to the soil conditions to adjust the height of the blade mounting plate 405 so that the rotary tiller 407 reaches the appropriate tillage depth. The tillage motor 412 starts, driving the rotary tiller 407 to rotate and till the soil. The creeping mechanism 2 moves slowly to keep the tillage operation going.

[0057] When the soil turning mechanism 4 is turning the soil, the control unit opens the electromagnetic switch valve, and the water pump sends the water in the water storage tank 501 to the high-pressure atomizing nozzle through the water delivery pipe to spray water and moisten the soil after turning, prevent soil dust, and complete the entire operation process.

[0058] In addition, the stone-picking mechanism 1, the soil-turning mechanism 4, and the water-spraying mechanism 5 of this application can operate simultaneously or independently.

[0059] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
