Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent agricultural machinery, and in particular relates to a bulb vegetable combine harvester and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As the market demand for flower-head vegetables continues to grow, the planting area of ​​flower-head vegetables is also expanding. However, after harvest, flower-head vegetables are often randomly stacked, which can easily cause squeezing damage, affect their commercial value and shelf life, and make it difficult to meet the market demand for high-quality flower-head vegetables. At present, there are relatively few studies on the orderly processing of flower-head vegetables after harvest. Although some existing conveying devices can achieve simple conveying functions, it is difficult to achieve orderly laying of flower-head vegetables. For example, some single-layer conveyor belts easily cause flower-head vegetables to stack and cause damage; some simple sorting devices cannot achieve layered placement of flower-head vegetables and collection frames, which increases the difficulty of subsequent processing. The existing laying method is inefficient, difficult to meet the needs of large-scale harvesting, and increases labor costs. There is an urgent need for a device and method that can achieve double-layer orderly laying of flower-head vegetables to improve harvesting efficiency, reduce labor intensity, and improve the quality of flower-head vegetables. Chinese patent CN204392866U discloses a leafy vegetable harvester. While this solution achieves orderly harvesting of leafy vegetables to some extent, it also results in disordered placement of the vegetables into the collection bin, causing them to land in the same spot and failing to fill the bin. Frequent bin replacement is required, resulting in low efficiency and poor collection results. Furthermore, there is currently no research on the orderly placement of flower-shaped vegetables.

[0044] The first placement unit 301 and the second placement unit 302 are connected to the first driving mechanism; the first conveying mechanism 303 is connected to the second driving mechanism; the second conveying mechanism 304 is connected to the third driving mechanism;

[0045] The control device is connected to the first drive mechanism, the second drive mechanism and the third drive mechanism respectively; the control device controls the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism so that the first laying unit 301 and the second laying unit 302 lay the flower head vegetables successively on the same conveying area of ​​the first conveying mechanism 303, realizing staggered laying and reducing the squeezing between the flower head vegetables; the control device controls the third drive mechanism so that the second conveying mechanism 304 conveys the collection box 311 forward for collecting the flower head vegetables fallen from the first conveying mechanism 303.

[0046] The first laying unit 301 and the second laying unit 302 both include a grooved turning belt 306; the grooved turning belt 306 is provided with a plurality of turning partitions 307 to divide the grooved turning belt 306 into a plurality of turning zones, and the clamping and conveying device 2 conveys the flower bulb vegetables to the turning zones of the grooved turning belt in sequence.

[0047] like Figure 3As shown, the first driving mechanism includes a first driving motor 313, a gearbox 308 and a transmission mechanism 309; the output shaft of the first driving motor 313 is connected to the gearbox 308, and the gearbox 308 is connected to the clamping and conveying device 2 to control the conveying speed of the clamping and conveying device 2; the grooved flip belt 306 of the first laying unit 301 and the second laying unit 302 share a driving shaft, and the gearbox 308 is also connected to the driving shaft of the grooved flip belt 306 through the transmission mechanism 309.

[0048] The flipping zone includes two grooves on either side, effectively gripping the side stems of the vegetable heads conveyed by the gripping and conveying device. These grooves secure the stems during the flipping process, and together with the central flipping partition (wrapping the main diameter), ensure stable flipping, preventing the vegetables from falling and minimizing losses. A flexible wrapping material is preferably used to further minimize damage to the vegetables.

[0049] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the shape and size of the groove is slightly larger than the average root radius of the flower head vegetables, preferably, 55 mm long and 50 mm wide, to ensure that the flower head vegetables can be stably placed in the groove. The groove material is food-grade ABS plastic, which is light and easy to clean. The second laying unit 302 is a long unit with a length of 500 mm, and the first laying unit 301 is a short unit with a length of 300 mm. The groove depth is 30 mm, which is adapted to the diameter of the flower head and can be compatible with flower heads with a diameter of 80-200 mm. The short unit takes over the front-end incoming materials, and the long unit delays the drop of materials, forming a time difference to avoid collision.

[0050] The flip partition 307 is made of a flexible material, preferably PVC.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, baffles 310 are respectively provided on both sides of the front end of the second laying unit 302. Preferably, the baffles 310 are made of stainless steel with a smooth surface to avoid damage to the head vegetables and complete the sliding of the head vegetables.

[0052] like Figure 6 As shown, the collecting box 311 is provided with a plurality of collecting partitions 312 arranged in parallel; the plurality of collecting partitions 312 divide the collecting box 311 into a plurality of collecting areas to reduce squeezing between vegetables.

[0053] The described vegetable head combine harvester further includes a counter and an alarm; the counter is installed at the end of the first conveying mechanism 303, and the counter and the alarm are respectively connected to the control device; the counter is used to calculate the number of vegetable heads and transmit it to the control device; when the number of vegetable heads reaches a preset value, the control device controls the alarm to sound an alarm.

[0054] The clamping and conveying device 2 includes two flexible clamping and conveying units; each flexible clamping and conveying unit includes two flexible clamping conveyor belts arranged opposite to each other; the flexible clamping and conveying units convey the bulb vegetables to the first laying unit 301 and the second laying unit 302 respectively.

[0055] The second driving mechanism includes a second driving motor 314, which drives the conveyor belt of the first conveying mechanism 303; the third driving mechanism includes a third driving motor 315, which drives the conveyor belt of the second conveying mechanism 304; the cutting mechanism is connected to the fourth driving motor 316, which drives the cutting mechanism to cut.

[0056] The conveyor belts of the first conveyor mechanism 303 and the second conveyor mechanism 304 are made of food-grade PVC and are 400 mm wide. Preferably, the height difference between the upper and lower conveyor belts is 300 mm to facilitate the falling of the flower bulb vegetables from the upper conveyor belt into the collection box 311.

[0057] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the control device uses a touch screen for human-computer interaction, which is convenient for users to set and monitor parameters. 上 , the conveyor belt speed of the second conveying mechanism 304 is V 下 When the conveyor belt of the first conveyor mechanism 303 delivers the flower curds to the end of the conveyor belt, the right side of the first collection area of ​​the collection bin 311 on the conveyor belt of the second conveyor mechanism 304 is aligned with the conveyor belt of the first conveyor mechanism 303. This ensures that the horizontal displacement difference of the flower curds when they fall from the first conveyor mechanism 303 into the collection bin 311 is less than 10 mm to prevent deviation and collision. The conveyor belt of the first conveyor mechanism 303 has a non-slip silicone surface with a friction coefficient of μ = 0.6, which is suitable for carrying the flipped flower curds. Preferably, the standard collection bin 311 on the second conveyor mechanism 304 has dimensions of 740 × 400 × 200 mm. The interlayer spacing between the conveyor belts of the first conveyor mechanism 303 and the second conveyor mechanism 304 is 300 mm.

[0058] A control method for the bulb vegetable combine harvester includes the following steps:

[0059] The leaf-supporting mechanism 1 straightens the vegetable bulbs in the traveling direction to the middle position of the clamping and conveying front end of the clamping and conveying device 2, and the cutting device cuts the stems of the vegetable bulbs. The clamping and conveying device 2 clamps and conveys the cut vegetable bulbs to the first laying unit 301 and the second laying unit 302 respectively.

[0060] The control device controls the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism so that the first placing unit 301 and the second placing unit 302 place the vegetable heads successively onto the same conveying area of ​​the first conveying mechanism 303. The control device controls the third driving mechanism so that the second conveying mechanism 304 moves the collecting box 311 forward to collect the vegetable heads dropped from the first conveying mechanism 303.

[0061] The counter counts the number of vegetable heads falling into the collection box 311 and transmits it to the control device; when the number of vegetable heads reaches a preset value, the control device controls the alarm to sound an alarm, reminding the operator to unload the full collection box 311 and collect the next collection box 311.

[0062] The control device controls the speed of the first drive motor 313 and the second drive motor 314 so that the flower head vegetables fall into the collection box 311 in an orderly manner. At the same time, the third drive motor 315 is controlled to make the collection box 311 move forward intermittently. The intermittent time can be determined by counting the number of flower head vegetables falling into the collection box 311 according to the counter. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, preferably, 6 flower head vegetables can be stacked in each collection area. When a single collection area is filled with 6 flower head vegetables, the control device controls the third drive motor 315 to move the collection box 311 forward and align the next collection area under the rear end of the first conveying mechanism 303 for continuing to collect the fallen flower head vegetables, thereby realizing the orderly placement of the flower head vegetables in the collection box 311, reducing the squeezing between the flower head vegetables, and thus reducing the damage to the flower head vegetables.

[0063] The present invention achieves double-layer conveying of vegetable heads and automatic, orderly packaging after transport, resolving the bottleneck issue of low-loss, orderly harvesting of vegetable heads. The double-layer conveying and orderly placing device 3 comprises a first placing unit 301 and a second placing unit 302 of different lengths. A control device controls the first and second driving mechanisms so that the first and second placing units 301, 302 sequentially place the vegetable heads onto the same conveying area of ​​the first conveying mechanism 303, improving placing efficiency and allowing two vegetable heads to be dropped simultaneously into the collection bin 311 below.

[0064] The first conveyor mechanism 303 and the second conveyor mechanism 304 are arranged parallel to each other, enabling layered conveyance of the vegetable heads and the collection box 311. The vegetables transported by the first conveyor mechanism 303 fall into the collection box 311 of the second conveyor mechanism 304 below, allowing the collection box 311 and the vegetable heads to move in the same direction. This allows for a double-layered, orderly placement of the vegetable heads, improving transportation efficiency. The staggered placement units ensure orderly placement of the vegetable heads within the collection box 311, reducing squeezing between the vegetables. A control device reduces manual intervention, improving placement efficiency and accuracy.
