Description

[0002] In desertification control, traditional manual planting has problems of low efficiency (less than 300 plants per person per day), high labor intensity (2-3 people are required to work together), and low standardization. The existing mechanized planting equipment mainly adopts "micro-invasive air flow tree planting method" (water flushing method) and "spiral drill tree planting method" (dry planting). The water flushing method forms a hole through high-pressure water flow and is suitable for areas with sufficient water supply, but has poor effect in hard rock layers and consumes a large amount of water (3-5 liters per plant). It is difficult to apply in extremely water-deficient areas. The spiral drill method relies on mechanical drilling and is suitable for water-deficient areas, but it is easy to get stuck in gravel sand layers, and the hole wall collapse rate is high (up to 40% in loose sand) after drilling, making it difficult for the roots of seedlings to anchor.

[0028] In a second aspect, the application further provides an intelligent desert seedling planting vehicle, comprising a vehicle frame, two drive shafts arranged in parallel at the bottom of the vehicle frame, and track drive wheels provided on the two ends of the drive shafts and provided with the track drive wheels according to the first aspect.

[0029] A hole forming mechanism is arranged on the upper part of the vehicle frame, and a seedling feeding mechanism is arranged in matching with the hole forming mechanism.

[0030] The hole forming mechanism comprises a water gun rod arranged rotatably, a drill bit arranged at one end of the water gun rod in a detachable manner, and a feeding mechanism for driving the water gun rod to feed.

[0031] A first through hole is arranged in the middle part of the water gun rod, a second through hole is arranged in the middle part of the drill bit, and the first through hole and the second through hole are coaxially communicated to form a channel for the punching medium to pass through; a water supply structure is connected to the end of the water gun rod away from the drill bit.

[0032] The end of the water gun rod passes through the vehicle frame and starts the drill bit to rotate to form a hole and / or the water gun rod to water punch a hole according to the geological conditions.

[0037] When the lead screw lifting mechanism is adopted, the rotating mechanism is arranged on the lead screw nut to drive the water gun rod to ascend and descend by rotating the lead screw;

[0038] When the chain lifting mechanism is adopted, the rotating mechanism is arranged on the side of the lifting chain through a connecting piece to drive the water gun rod to ascend and descend by the lifting of the lifting chain.

[0039] Due to the above technical scheme, the present application has the beneficial effects that,

[0040] 1. The track driving wheel is provided, and traditional track equipment is usually designed with fixed teeth or simple adjustable track, so that it is difficult to meet the requirements of strong sand driving in sandy land and low resistance load bearing on ordinary road surface. In the sandy land, the fixed teeth track is prone to insufficient traction and vehicle sinking due to loose sand. On the ordinary road surface, the tooth structure increases the rolling resistance and reduces the energy efficiency. The dynamic opening and closing mechanism (folding / opening state switching) of the track plate is adopted to realize the intelligent driving mode of "one wheel with two modes". Specifically, the combination structure of the power wheel, the outer hanging wheel, the track plate and the first connecting rod is adopted, the track plate is arranged on the outer edge of the outer hanging wheel through the first connecting rod, and the other end of the first connecting rod is connected with the power wheel and the outer hanging wheel through the first pin shaft. The linkage design enables the state switching of the track plate to be automatically completed according to the ground texture without the need for additional driving control device, which simplifies the structure and improves the reliability.

[0041] On the ordinary road surface, the track plate is folded and adhered to the outer edge of the outer hanging wheel to form a continuous load bearing surface. At this time, the track plate directly bears the main load, the contact area with the ground is small, the friction resistance is low, the vehicle body driving smoothness and energy efficiency are significantly improved, and it is especially suitable for efficient operation in non-soft terrain such as farmland road and gravel road.

[0042] When walking on sand ground, the track shoe is synchronously expanded outward through the connecting rod mechanism under the rotation drive of the power wheel, forming a "turbine blade" structure, and the opened track shoe is arranged in a turbine blade shape, which produces a combined force of axial pushing and tangential traction on sand particles when rotating; the sand particles flow in the spiral direction of the blade, on the one hand, forming a "sand wedge" structure between the track and the ground, enhancing the adhesive friction; on the other hand, the flow of sand particles acts on the track shoe, generating additional propulsion torque (similar to the propulsion principle of a propeller), significantly improving the sand climbing ability; at the same time, the problem of "idling and slipping" caused by the direct sinking of the track tooth into the sand layer is avoided, and the problems of vehicle sinking and power shortage in sand driving are completely solved.

[0043] The conventional complex terrain walking equipment often needs to rely on sensors, hydraulic systems and other external devices to realize the state adjustment of the track, and has problems of response lag, complex structure, high energy consumption and the like. The present application adjusts the state of the wheel according to the geological conditions through the mechanical linkage design of the power wheel-hanging wheel-connecting rod; specifically, when the vehicle body enters the sand from the ordinary road, the power wheel produces a slight speed fluctuation due to the increase of the sand layer resistance, and the fluctuation is transmitted to the connecting rod mechanism through the hanging wheel, driving the track shoe to expand outward synchronously; on the contrary, when leaving the sand, the speed of the power wheel rises, the connecting rod mechanism automatically resets, and the track shoe is folded. The whole process can adapt to the rapid change of the sand dune, sand ridge and the like; the linkage of multiple components only relies on mechanical transmission, avoiding the introduction of precise components such as hydraulic pipelines and sensors, reducing the failure rate, and at the same time reducing the overall weight, which is more suitable for the lightweight demand of agricultural equipment such as the planting machine.

[0044] The present application realizes terrain self-adaptation through pure mechanical linkage, solves the problems of complex structure, high cost and easy failure of traditional intelligent track, and provides a low-cost and high-reliability terrain adaptation solution for sand working equipment, which is especially suitable for agricultural, forestry and other cost-sensitive scenarios.

[0045] 2、The present application provides an intelligent desert planting vehicle, comprising the track driving wheel of the first aspect,

[0046] The present track driving wheel can stably and flexibly walk on complex terrain, so that the planting equipment can reach the working site more quickly and accurately, reducing the interruption or position deviation caused by terrain limitation, thereby significantly improving the efficiency and quality of planting operation, and being especially suitable for planting operation in complex terrain areas such as desert and mountain;

[0047] In addition, the present application realizes the multi-mode free switching of "drilling - water flushing" through the cooperation design of the detachable drill bit and the water flushing function of the water gun rod; the drilling mode: in the area where the sand layer is hard or compact, the drill bit is started to rotate to form a hole through mechanical cutting, avoiding the hole wall collapse problem caused by the loose sand particles in the water flushing hole forming, and the hole type regularity is high to provide stable support for the seedling planting; the water flushing mode: in the area where the sand layer is loose or the water content is extremely low, the water gun rod is switched to the water flushing hole forming, the sand layer is cut by using the high-pressure water flow to quickly form a hole with uniform diameter, and the water flow can suspend the sand particles to reduce the secondary collapse risk of the hole wall; the drilling and water flushing combined mode: in some special terrain, the coaxial through hole structure and the detachable drill bit are cooperatively designed to make the drilling and water flushing functions be executed synchronously or alternately in the same operation process to form a combined hole forming mechanism of "cutting guide - flushing solid wall"; the sand layer is mechanically cut when the drill bit rotates to quickly break through the hard sand layer or the rock layer to form an initial guide hole; the water gun rod synchronously sprays high-pressure water flow into the drill hole to suspend the loose sand particles in the hole wall by water flow flushing to reduce the risk of hole wall collapse caused by the gravity or vibration of the sand particles; at the same time, the water flow can discharge the sand cuttings generated by cutting out of the hole to avoid the blockage of the hole to affect the operation of the feeding mechanism; the coaxial channel realizes the real-time cooperation of "drilling and flushing", deeply integrates the "guiding function" of drilling and the "solid wall function" of water flushing, and forms an efficient combined hole forming link.

[0048] The coaxial through hole structure of the water gun rod and the drill bit and the detachable setting of the drill bit construct an integrated system of "medium conveying - hole forming execution"; the hole forming medium (such as water) is directly connected through the first through hole in the middle of the water gun rod and the second through hole in the middle of the drill bit, and when the hole forming mode is switched, the pipeline connection does not need to be adjusted, the operation is convenient, and the leakage or blockage problem caused by the multi-pipeline switching of the traditional equipment is avoided; the drill bit can be quickly replaced with different diameters according to the seedling specifications (such as seedling height and root size), and the detachable design of the water gun rod and the drill bit facilitates the cleaning of the blockage or the replacement of the worn parts, and the equipment maintenance time is greatly reduced.

[0074] Example 1

[0075] Referring to Figures 1-10 The present application provides a track driving wheel, which comprises a power wheel 1, an external wheel 2, a plurality of track plates 3 and a plurality of first connecting rods 4. The structure and connection relationship of each component will be described one by one as follows:

[0076] The power wheel 1, referring to Figure 6The power wheel 1 includes a power wheel body 11 and a mounting sleeve 12 disposed in the middle of the power wheel body 11. The mounting sleeve 12 is used to connect with the external drive shaft 03 by key or spline to realize the input of power. In this embodiment, the power wheel body 11 is a circular plate with a preset diameter. The circular plate has a plurality of first connecting holes evenly distributed near the outer edge for hinged connection with one end of the first connecting rod 4.

[0077] External wheel 2, see Figure 9 The external wheel 2 is coaxially mounted on one side of the power wheel 1. It includes an external connecting plate 21 and a support sleeve 22 on one side of the external connecting plate 21. The external connecting plate 21 has a mounting hole in its center. The external wheel 2 is fitted onto the mounting sleeve 12 through the mounting hole, making it coaxially mounted on one side of the power wheel 1. The external connecting plate 21 also has several first arc-shaped grooves 23 with preset lengths. The first pin 5 passes through the first arc-shaped grooves 23, the power wheel 1, and the other end of the corresponding first connecting rod 4 in sequence, allowing the external wheel 2 to rotate within a preset angle range. Preferably, the inner diameter of the support sleeve 22 is larger than the outer diameter of the power wheel body 11, and several first arc-shaped grooves 23 with preset lengths are evenly distributed circumferentially on the external connecting plate 21, each corresponding to one of the first connecting holes. The outer edge of the external wheel 2 also has several connecting ears evenly distributed, and each connecting ear has a second mounting hole for hinged connection with the center of the track plate 3.

[0078] Track plates 3 are evenly distributed on the circumference of the external rollers 2 (the number is usually an even number, such as 8, depending on the size of the drive wheel); see [link to documentation]. Figure 4 and Figure 5 Each track plate 3 is an arc-shaped plate structure (the arc matches the outer edge of the outer wheel 2), and its inner wall (the side facing the center of the drive wheel) is provided with a first hinge point 32, a second hinge point 33, and a third hinge point 34 along the length direction (i.e., the circumferential tangent direction) in sequence (the three are not collinear and are distributed in a "triangular" pattern); wherein:

[0079] The second hinge point 33 is the middle hinge point of the track plate 3. It is hinged to the connecting lug of the outer wheel 2 through the pin, so as to realize the rotational freedom of the track plate 3 around the outer wheel 2.

[0080] The third hinge point 34 is located on the free end side of the track plate 3 and is hinged to one end of the first connecting rod 4 by a pin.

[0081] The first hinge point 32 is located on the root side of the track plate 3 (away from the free end) and is used to connect with the second link 6 (see the improved structure below for details);

[0082] First link 4, see... Figure 1 ,Figure 2 and Figure 8 The number of the first connecting rods 4 is consistent with the number of the track plates 3, one end of each first connecting rod 4 is hinged with the third hinge point 34 of the corresponding track plate 3 through a pin shaft, and the other end is connected with the driving wheel 1 and the outer wheel 2 through the first pin shaft 5 (preferably, the first pin shaft 5 penetrates the first connecting hole of the driving wheel 1 and corresponds to the first arc-shaped sliding groove 23 of the outer wheel 2).

[0083] The second connecting rod 6, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 The first hinge points 32 of every two adjacent track plates 3 are connected through the second connecting rod 6, so that the track plates 3 form a linkage structure in pairs (the number of the second connecting rods 6 is half of the number of the track plates 3, and is uniformly distributed along the circumference of the outer wheel 2);

[0084] The second connecting rod 6 is an arc-shaped plate rod structure (the arc is matched with the outer edge of the outer wheel 2), one end of which is provided with a second arc-shaped sliding groove 61 (the center of the sliding groove is coincided with the center of the outer wheel 2); in a group of linkage track plates 3, the first hinge point 32 of one track plate 3 is slidably arranged in the second arc-shaped sliding groove 61 through a second pin shaft, and the first hinge point 32 of the other track plate 3 is hinged with the other end of the second connecting rod 6 through a pin screw.

[0085] The present application realizes the switching of the two working states through the relative rotation of the driving wheel 1 and the outer wheel 2, and the linkage of the first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 6, specifically as follows:

[0086] The first state (soft ground walking, the track plates 3 in contact with the ground are opened in turn):

[0087] When the driving wheel enters the soft ground such as sandy soil and mud flat, the outer wheel 2 rotates in the circumferential direction relative to the driving wheel 1 due to the ground resistance. At this time, the outer wheel 2 pulls the first connecting rod 4 through the first pin shaft 5, and the other end of the first connecting rod 4 pushes the free end of the track plate 3 to swing outward (open) through the third hinge point 34, until the free end of the track plate 3 is in contact with the soft ground; at this time, the free end of the track plate 3 stirs the medium such as sand and mud in the process of the rotation of the driving wheel, increases the effective contact area with the ground, avoids the driving wheel from sinking into the soft ground, and at the same time, enhances the walking traction through the reaction force of the medium;

[0088] In this state, the second arc-shaped sliding groove 61 of the second connecting rod 6 swings synchronously with the rotation of the outer wheel 2, and the second pin shaft slides in the second arc-shaped sliding groove 61 (the sliding range corresponds to the maximum opening angle of the track plate 3), which ensures the synchronization of the opening actions of the adjacent track plates 3 and prevents the track plate 3 from being stuck due to uneven local resistance.

[0089] Second state (hard ground walking, track shoe 3 closed):

[0090] When the driving wheel enters the hard ground such as cement ground, rock road and the like, the driving force of the driving wheel 1 overcomes the ground resistance, and the outer wheel 2 is not rotated relative to the driving wheel 1. At this time, the first pin shaft 5 pulls the free end of the track shoe 3 inward (closed) through the first connecting rod 4, and the outer edges of all the track shoes 3 are adhered to form a complete wheel structure (the outer edge contour after closing is consistent with a common wheel). At this time, the driving wheel is in direct contact with the hard ground through the closed track shoe 3, and the rolling resistance is reduced compared with the open state, and the rigidity of the wheel structure can avoid gravel and the like from being stuck in the track gap, and the smoothness and reliability of the hard ground walking are improved;

[0091] In this state, the second pin shaft of the second connecting rod 6 slides to the limit position of the second arc-shaped sliding groove 61, and the rigidity of the second connecting rod 6 ensures that the closing angles of all the track shoes 3 are consistent, so that the uneven wheel rim caused by the misalignment of the track shoes 3 is avoided.

[0092] The conventional track equipment mostly adopts fixed tooth shape or simple adjustable track design, and it is difficult to balance the strong sand plowing demand in the sand ground and the low resistance load bearing requirement on the ordinary road surface: in the sand ground, the fixed tooth shape track is easy to cause insufficient traction and vehicle sinking due to loose sand; on the ordinary road surface, the tooth shape structure increases the rolling resistance and reduces the energy efficiency.

[0093] The present application realizes the intelligent driving mode of "one wheel dual mode" through the dynamic opening and closing mechanism (folding / opening state switching) of the track shoe 3. Specifically, the combination structure of the driving wheel 1, the outer wheel 2, the track shoe 3 and the first connecting rod 4 is adopted, the track shoe 3 is arranged to be openable and closable at the outer edge of the outer wheel 2 through the first connecting rod 4, and the other end of the first connecting rod 4 is connected with the driving wheel 1 and the outer wheel 2 through the first pin shaft 5. This linkage design enables the state switching of the track shoe 3 to be automatically completed according to the ground texture, without the need for additional driving control device, which simplifies the structure and improves the reliability.

[0094] In the ordinary road surface working condition, the track shoe 3 is folded and adhered to the outer edge of the outer wheel 2 to form a continuous load bearing surface. At this time, the track shoe 3 directly bears the main load, the contact area with the ground is small, the friction resistance is low, the vehicle body driving smoothness and energy efficiency are significantly improved, and it is especially suitable for efficient operation in non-soft terrain such as farmland road and sandstone road;

[0095] In the sand ground working condition, the track shoe 3 is expanded outward along the tangent direction synchronously through the connecting rod mechanism under the rotary driving of the driving wheel 1 to form a "turbine blade" structure. The opened track shoe 3 is arranged in a turbine blade shape, as shown in Figure 10When rotating, the blade generates a composite force of axial pushing and tangential traction on the sand particles; after being stirred, the sand particles flow along the spiral direction of the blade, on the one hand, forming a sand wedge structure between the track and the ground, enhancing the adhesive friction; on the other hand, the flow of sand particles acts on the track plate 3, generating additional propulsion torque (similar to the propulsion principle of a propeller), significantly improving the sand climbing ability; at the same time, it avoids the problem of "idling and slipping" caused by the direct sinking of the track teeth into the sand layer, and completely solves the problems of getting stuck and insufficient power in the sand.

[0096] The conventional complex terrain walking equipment often needs to rely on sensors, hydraulic systems and other external devices to realize the track state adjustment, and has problems of response lag, complex structure, high energy consumption and the like. The present application adjusts the state of the wheel according to the geological conditions through the mechanical linkage design of the power wheel 1-hanging wheel-link rod; specifically, when the vehicle body enters the sand from the ordinary road, the power wheel 1 generates a slight speed fluctuation due to the increase of sand layer resistance, and the fluctuation is transmitted to the link mechanism through the hanging wheel, driving the track plate 3 to expand outward synchronously; on the contrary, when leaving the sand, the speed of the power wheel 1 rises, and the link mechanism automatically resets, and the track plate 3 is folded. The whole process can adapt to the rapid change of sand dunes, sand ridges and other terrains;

[0097] The multi-component linkage only relies on mechanical transmission, avoids the introduction of hydraulic pipelines, sensors and other precision components, reduces the failure rate, reduces the overall weight, and is more suitable for the lightweight needs of agricultural equipment such as planters.

[0098] The present application realizes terrain self-adaptation through pure mechanical linkage, solves the problems of complex structure, high cost and easy failure of traditional intelligent track, and provides a low-cost and high-reliability terrain adaptation solution for sand working equipment, especially suitable for agricultural, forestry and other cost-sensitive scenarios.

[0099] As a preferred embodiment, in order to solve the problems of coaxiality deviation and power transmission loosening of the driving shaft 03 and the power wheel 1 caused by direct connection in the traditional track driving wheel 01, the present application adds a power sleeve 7 in the mounting sleeve 12 of the power wheel 1, and realizes the accuracy and reliability of power transmission through key connection. The specific structure is as follows:

[0100] The power sleeve 7 is a cylindrical structure with open ends, and one end has a limiting cylinder along the outer circumferential surface. A standard key groove (such as a flat key groove or an involute spline groove) is processed on the outer circumferential surface, and the size of the key groove is completely matched with the guide key groove on the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 12. When installed, the power sleeve 7 is inserted into the flat key (or spline) through the key groove and the guide key groove of the mounting sleeve 12, so that the power sleeve 7 and the mounting sleeve 12 are coaxially fixed and ensure that they do not rotate relative to each other; the power sleeve 7 is processed with a connecting key groove matched with the output end of the driving shaft 03, and the output end of the driving shaft 03 is inserted into the key groove and connected with the power sleeve 7 spline, so that the rotating power of the driving shaft 03 is transmitted to the power sleeve 7 through the spline, and finally drives the power wheel 1 to rotate synchronously;

[0101] The power sleeve 7 as an intermediate transition piece can effectively compensate for the installation error of the driving shaft 03 and the mounting sleeve 12, and avoid the power wheel 1 from being worn or the key connection from being invalid due to the coaxiality deviation; the key groove cooperation between the power sleeve 7 and the mounting sleeve 12 limits the radial displacement, and the spline connection with the driving shaft 03 limits the axial displacement, realizing double constraints of power transmission and significantly improving the stability of power transmission.

[0102] As a preferred embodiment, in order to enhance the structural strength and action flexibility of the track shoe 3 during opening and closing, the plate body 31 of the track shoe 3 is designed to be integrally bent, and the position distribution of the hinge points is optimized. The specific structure is as follows:

[0103] The plate body 31 is made of stamping or casting process in one piece, and the whole is in an arc-shaped plate structure; the plate body 31 includes a flat part 311 and a bent part 312;

[0104] The bent part 312 includes a first bent plate and a second bent plate, one end of the two bent plates is integrally connected and forms a first preset included angle (preferably 120°-150°, the specific angle is adjusted according to the shape of the outer edge connecting ear of the outer hanging wheel 2); the other end of the two bent plates is a free end, which is used to stir soft medium or contact with hard ground; and a groove is arranged in the middle of the bent part 312 to avoid interference with the outer edge of the outer hanging wheel 2 when the track shoe 3 is closed;

[0105] The flat part 311 is connected to one end of the bent part 312 and integrally connected with the bent part 312 to form a second preset included angle (preferably 90°-120°), so that the plate body 31 as a whole presents a composite structure of "arc-shaped-flat-bent", which not only ensures the fit with the outer hanging wheel 2, but also enhances the sand stirring or load bearing capacity of the free end;

[0106] Three hinge points are arranged on the inner wall (the side facing the center of the driving wheel) of the plate body 31 along the length direction, and the specific positions are as follows:

[0107] Second hinge point 33, provided at the joint of flat part 311 and bending part 312 (i.e. the joint boundary of the two), is hinged with the outer edge of outer hanging wheel 2 through a pin shaft, as the fulcrum of the rotation of track plate 3 around outer hanging wheel 2;

[0108] First hinge point 32, provided at the end of bending part 312 away from flat part 311 (i.e. the free end side of the two bending plates), is used for connecting the second connecting rod 6 between adjacent track plates 3;

[0109] Third hinge point 34, provided on flat part 311 (between second hinge point 33 and the free end of track plate 3), is used for connecting first connecting rod 4;

[0110] With second hinge point 33 as the fulcrum, third hinge point 34 as the power input end, and first hinge point 32 as the constraint end; when first connecting rod 4 pushes or pulls third hinge point 34, plate body 31 rotates around second hinge point 33, and first hinge point 32 moves synchronously and reversely, so that the free end of track plate 3 generates a large swing amplitude, meeting the sand stirring demand on soft ground;

[0111] Through the optimization of the bending angle, the free end of plate body 31 is completely matched with the outer edge of outer hanging wheel 2 in the closed state, improving the rim integrity when walking on hard ground and reducing the rolling resistance.

[0119] The feeding mechanism 06 is arranged at the rear end (away from the drill bit 042 end) of the water gun rod 041, including a lifting mechanism 061 and a rotating mechanism 062 arranged at the lifting end of the lifting mechanism 061, the rotating mechanism 062 includes a rotating drive motor 063 and a driving gear 064 connected with the rotating drive motor 063, the outer wall of the water gun rod 041 is provided with a driven gear 043, and the driving gear 064 is in meshing transmission connection with the driven gear 043 to drive the water gun rod 041 to rotate; the water gun rod 041 is driven to feed linearly in the axial direction through the lifting of the lifting mechanism 061, so as to realize the adjustment of the drilling depth;

[0120] The drill bit 042 end of the water gun rod 041 penetrates through the through hole in the bottom of the vehicle frame 02 and extends to the vicinity of the ground, and in operation, the geological conditions can be manually judged, if the geology is hard, the rotating drive motor 063 of the drill bit 042 is started, and the sand soil is cut into a hole through the spiral drill tooth of the drill bit 042; if the geology is loose, the rotating drive motor 063 of the drill bit 042 is closed, and only high-pressure water is conveyed into the first through hole by the high-pressure water pump, and the sand soil is impacted by the water jet to realize water punching; if the geology is complex, the rotating drive motor 063 and the high-pressure water pump can be started at the same time, and the drill bit 042 and the water punching are combined to form a hole, and the multiple hole forming modes can be switched according to the actual geological conditions, so as to improve the adaptability of the equipment to different desert environments.

[0126] As a preferred embodiment, the lifting mechanism 061 can be selected from two forms of screw lifting mechanism 061 and chain lifting mechanism 061:

[0127] When the screw lifting mechanism 061 is adopted, the rotating mechanism 062 is fixed on the screw nut of the screw lifting mechanism 061 as a whole; the screw nut moves along the screw shaft by driving the screw to rotate, thereby driving the rotating mechanism 062 and the water gun rod 041 to complete the lifting and feeding action;

[0128] When the chain lifting mechanism 061 is adopted, referring to Figure 13 , the rotating mechanism 062 is fixedly connected with the side of the lifting chain through a connecting piece (such as a fixing seat); the lifting action of the chain directly drives the rotating mechanism 062 and the water gun rod 041 to synchronously lift by driving the chain to circulate, thereby realizing the feeding function.
