Detailed Implementation

[0010] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0011] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a photovoltaic panel loosening and transplanting machine, including a mobile chassis 1 and a loosening component 2, a transplanting component 3, a photovoltaic direct drive power supply, and a controller, all mounted on the mobile chassis 1, wherein: The soil loosening component 2 is located in front of the mobile chassis 1 and is used to break up compacted soil and form a planting area; The transplanting component 3 is used to plant the seedlings to be planted into the planting area under the drive of the mobile chassis 1; The photovoltaic direct drive power supply is electrically connected to the loose soil module 2, the controller, and the external photovoltaic array, respectively. The controller is used to adjust the operating parameters of the loose soil module 2.

[0012] In this embodiment, by setting up a mobile chassis 1 and mounting a soil loosening component 2, a transplanting component 3, a photovoltaic direct-drive power supply, and a controller on the mobile chassis 1, the soil loosening component 2 can break up compacted soil and form a planting area. The transplanting component 3, driven by the mobile chassis 1, plants the seedlings into the planting area. The photovoltaic direct-drive power supply provides electrical energy transmitted from the external photovoltaic array to the soil loosening component 2 and the controller. The controller adjusts the operating parameters of the soil loosening component 2. Therefore, through mechatronics innovation, efficient breaking up of compacted soil and precise unmanned cultivation of seedlings are achieved under photovoltaic panels, improving the benefits of agricultural-photovoltaic complementarity and thus solving the problem of soil compaction under photovoltaic panels.

[0013] It is understood that the photovoltaic panel loosening and transplanting machine provided in this embodiment of the invention is specifically designed to solve the problem of soil compaction under photovoltaic power stations. This equipment integrates mechanical loosening and cultivation, improving soil permeability and promoting seedling root growth. Simultaneously, it utilizes photovoltaic energy to achieve ecological restoration and economic crop planting in a photovoltaic-agricultural complementary scenario.

[0014] In some implementations, the photovoltaic direct-drive power supply can be a modular mobile battery. An external photovoltaic array can transfer power to the photovoltaic direct-drive power supply via a DC-DC converter. The DC-DC converter eliminates inverter losses and reduces manual relocation costs. The voltage of the photovoltaic direct-drive power supply matches the voltage of the photovoltaic array, for example, 72V / 48V / 24V / 12V. Alternatively, a 48V / 20Ah lithium battery can be connected in parallel to the photovoltaic direct-drive power supply to support short-term off-grid operation.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, the mobile chassis 1 is either wheeled or tracked. Figure 1 The mobile chassis 1 shown is wheeled. When the planting area is muddy, the mobile chassis 1 can be tracked for better movement. When the mobile chassis 1 is wheeled, it can use two sets of large, deep-patterned steel wheels with a diameter of 50-100cm. The chassis body can be made of high-strength aluminum alloy frame, with an overall height of ≤30cm and a width of 40-80cm (adapting to a minimum spacing of 1m for photovoltaic arrays). This configuration allows the ultra-low profile machine to fit in spaces <1.5m under photovoltaic panels, achieving 100% passability with omnidirectional movement and automating the entire process from loosening soil to planting. Driven by two sets of large, deep-patterned steel wheels, motor 22, or manual assistance, it can achieve lateral movement and rotation in place. Furthermore, laser radar and ultrasonic sensors can be integrated into the equipment to detect the support position in real time, thereby automatically maintaining a safe operating distance.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, the soil loosening component 2 includes a connecting rod 21 connected to a movable chassis 1, a motor 22 mounted on the connecting rod 21, an eccentric wheel 23 connected to the motor 22, a limiting bearing 24 mounted outside the eccentric wheel 23, a conical member 25 connected to the eccentric wheel 23, and a spiral cutter disc 26 mounted on the outer surface of the conical member 25. The motor 22 is used to drive the eccentric wheel 23 to rotate, so that the conical member 25 vibrates up and down. The conical member 25 and the spiral cutter disc 26 are used to move forward under the drive of the movable chassis 1, so as to achieve their own rotation when in contact with the compacted soil.

[0017] In this embodiment, the conical member 25 and the spiral cutter head 26 will be resisted by the compacted soil during their forward movement, causing them to rotate. This generates local stress waves in the compacted soil within the spiral cutter head 26 (i.e., triggers a stress wave superposition effect), inducing fatigue fracture of the compacted soil. Moreover, the rotating spiral cutter head 26 can penetrate hard soil, reducing dust while cutting the compacted soil, thus protecting the photovoltaic panels and forming a standard planting area of ​​a certain diameter and depth along the path it travels.

[0018] In some implementations, the soil loosening and transplanting machine can be equipped with a slope adaptive leveling system for use on terraced slopes, and a salt washing conduit can be integrated at the spiral cutter head 26 for use on saline-alkali land, which will not be elaborated here.

[0019] In some implementations, the motor 22 may be a linear motor 22 with greater thrust, or a piezoelectric ceramic actuator with higher precision; no specific limitation is made here.

[0020] In some embodiments, the spiral cutter head 26 can be made of a more wear-resistant ceramic matrix composite material, or it can be made of a lower-cost surface nitriding steel process, which will not be elaborated here.

[0021] In one embodiment of the present invention, the controller is electrically connected to the motor 22. The controller is used to determine the operating parameters of the eccentric wheel 23 based on the rotational speed of the conical component 25, so that the conical component 25 vibrates up and down. With this setting, a dynamic mapping model of rotational speed and vibration frequency can be trained based on soil hardness data (i.e., the vibration frequency is automatically matched according to the rotational speed of the conical component 25) to optimize the soil breaking parameters in real time and realize the "tailor-made" treatment of compacted soil.

[0022] In one embodiment of the present invention, the amplitude of the tapered member 25 is ≤5mm, and the vibration frequency of the tapered member 25 is determined by the following formula: In the formula, F The vibration frequency of the conical component 25 is given in Hz. n The rotational speed of the conical component 25 is given in r / min.

[0023] In one embodiment of the present invention, the transplanting assembly 3 includes a fixing frame 31 connected to the connecting rod 21, a conveyor belt 32 and a slide 33 disposed on the fixing frame 31. The fixing frame 31 is connected to the movable chassis 1. A plurality of placement positions for placing seedlings to be planted are evenly arranged on the conveyor belt. The top of the slide 33 is located at one end of the conveyor belt, and the bottom is located above the planting area. The conveyor belt is used to rotate under the drive of the movable chassis 1 so that the seedlings to be planted fall from the placement positions into the slide 33 and fall into the soil of the planting area through the bottom opening of the slide 33.

[0024] In this embodiment, the driving force of the conveyor belt 32 comes from the movement of the mobile chassis 1, which can reduce the power consumption of the conveyor belt 32. With the drive of the mobile chassis 1 and the combination of the conveyor belt 32 and the slide 33, the transplanting of seedlings to be planted can be carried out conveniently and quickly.

[0025] In some embodiments, the device may also be equipped with a clutch, that is, the mobile chassis 1 is connected to the conveyor belt 32 via a clutch, so that the clutch can be disengaged when transplanting is not required, thereby achieving synchronous transplanting.

[0026] In one embodiment of the present invention, the fixing frame 31 includes an adjusting arm 311, the height of the adjusting arm 311 is adjustable, the adjusting arm 311 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 21, and the included angle between the two is adjustable; The mounting bracket 31 is also connected to a push rod 34, which is used to provide thrust for the moving chassis 1 to move forward. The angle between the push rod 34 and the mounting bracket 31 is adjustable.

[0027] In this embodiment, by making the height of the adjusting arm 311 adjustable, the overall height of the equipment can be adjusted to accommodate different photovoltaic panel ground clearances; by making the angle between the adjusting arm 311 and the connecting rod 21 adjustable, and by making the angle between the push rod 34 and the fixing frame 31 adjustable, the equipment can be folded for easier storage and use; moreover, the rotatable connection between the adjusting arm 311 and the connecting rod 21 allows the loosening component 2 to adapt to any sloping area.

[0028] In one embodiment of the present invention, a sliding rod 35 is fixed to the outer wall of the adjusting arm 311. The sliding rod 35 can pass through the connecting rod 21, and a first spring 36 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 35. This arrangement ensures that the spiral cutter head 26 remains in close contact with the ground in any sloping area, whether the angle between the adjusting arm 311 and the connecting rod 21 is obtuse or acute, so as to better loosen the soil.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, a baffle 37 is provided at the top inside the slide 33, and a second spring 38 is provided on the side of the baffle 37 facing away from the seedling to be planted, so that the seedling to be planted can contact the baffle 37 and compress the second spring 38. This arrangement allows the conveyor belt 32 to transport the seedling to be planted from its designated position to the planting position above the slide 33, otherwise the seedling to be planted would tip over.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present invention, the fixing frame 31 is also connected to at least two levers 39. The two levers 39 are located outside the slide 33 and in contact with the soil of the planting area. The contact shape of the two levers 39 in the planting area is V-shaped (i.e., inward V-shaped), so as to cover the seedlings to be planted that fall into the planting area under the drive of the moving chassis 1.

[0031] In summary, the above solution can ensure that the entire process of breaking up compacted soil (e.g., hardness > 5MPa), precisely opening holes, planting seedlings, and covering with soil can be completed in one go within the gaps between photovoltaic panels with a height of < 1.5m.

Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
