Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sweet potato planting technology, and in particular to an intelligent pruning device and method for sweet potato vines. Background Technology

[0002] Sweet potato vines grow wildly during rainy weather, but this doesn't mean the sweet potatoes are good. The lush vines will completely shade the sweet potatoes, preventing them from absorbing sunlight and photosynthesizing. This will affect the yield and may even result in no yield at all. Therefore, when the sweet potato vines are growing too vigorously, the excess vines need to be pruned to ensure that the sweet potatoes can receive adequate sunlight. Existing techniques for pruning sweet potato vines still have some shortcomings: The pruning tools currently used are conventional scissors. After pruning the excess vines, it is necessary to collect the vines in a later stage, so pruning the vines is often not convenient. Furthermore, the modified vines cannot be recycled, and when the untreated vines are returned directly to the field, the soil cannot fully absorb them.

[0003] To address the above problems, this invention proposes an intelligent pruning device and method for sweet potato vines. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides an intelligent pruning device and method for sweet potato vines, which solves the shortcomings of the prior art, such as the inconvenience of collecting the vines after pruning and the difficulty of the soil fully absorbing the vines when returning the untreated vines directly to the field.

[0005] This invention provides the following technical solution: A smart sweet potato vine pruning device includes a movable base, with columns fixedly installed at the four corners of the top of the movable base, and a common platform fixedly installed at the top of the four columns. The pruning device also includes: The drive mechanism is mounted on the top of the movable base, and the top of the drive mechanism is mounted on the bottom of the platform. The collection mechanism is installed on the top of the platform, and the bottom of the collection mechanism extends above the movable base and connects to the top of the movable base.

The pruning mechanism is used to prune sweet potato vines. The crushing mechanism is connected to the pruning mechanism, and one side of the crushing mechanism extends into the collecting mechanism. The crushing mechanism is used to crush and cut the sweet potato vines that are conveyed into the collecting mechanism.

[0006] In one possible design, the collection mechanism includes a collection box fixedly mounted on the top of the platform, a straw fixedly mounted on one inner wall of the collection box, the bottom end of the straw extending above the movable base and fixedly mounted with a suction cover, a bracket fixedly mounted on the bottom of one side of the suction cover, the suction cover fixedly mounted on the top of the movable base, and a blower assembly mounted on one inner wall of the collection box, one side of the blower assembly extending to the outside of the collection box and connected to the drive mechanism.

[0007] In one possible design, the blower assembly includes a blower duct fixedly installed on the inner wall of the other side of the collection box, one side of the blower duct extending to the outer side of the collection box, a mounting frame and a mesh plate fixedly installed inside the blower duct, the mesh plate being located on one side of the mounting frame, a rotating shaft being rotatably connected through the mounting frame, multiple blades being fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft at equal intervals, one end of the rotating shaft extending to the outer side of the blower duct and connected to the drive mechanism.

[0008] In one possible design, the drive mechanism includes a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate respectively fixedly mounted on the top of the movable base. The top of the first mounting plate and the top of the second mounting plate are both fixedly connected to the bottom of the platform. A drive motor is fixedly mounted on one side of the first mounting plate. The output shaft of the drive motor passes through the first mounting plate and is mounted with a linkage assembly. A guide rail is fixedly mounted on the top of the straw. The top of the guide rail is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the platform. A guide plate is slidably connected inside the guide rail. A transmission ring is fixedly mounted on one side of the guide plate to the outside of the guide rail. One side of the transmission ring is connected to the trimming mechanism. A slide plate is slidably connected inside the transmission ring. The linkage assembly passes through the slide plate and is connected to the slide plate. The linkage assembly passes through the second mounting plate and is connected to the second mounting plate. A belt assembly is connected to one side of the connecting assembly. The top of the belt assembly is connected to one end of the rotating shaft.

[0009] In one possible design, the linkage assembly includes a first rotating plate fixedly mounted on the output shaft of a drive motor. A connecting shaft is fixedly mounted on the top side of one side of the first rotating plate. One end of the connecting shaft passes through the slide plate and extends to one side of the transmission ring. The connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the slide plate. A second rotating plate is fixedly mounted on one end of the connecting shaft. A transmission shaft is fixedly mounted on the bottom side of one side of the second rotating plate. The transmission shaft passes through the second mounting plate and is rotatably connected to the second mounting plate. One end of the transmission shaft is connected to a belt assembly.

[0010] In one possible design, the belt assembly includes two synchronous pulleys, which are respectively fixedly mounted on one end of the drive shaft and one end of the rotating shaft, and the same synchronous belt is driven onto the two synchronous pulleys.

[0011] In one possible design, the pruning mechanism includes a limiting plate fixedly installed on one side of the platform, a transmission plate slidably connected to the limiting plate, a cutter fixedly installed at the bottom of the transmission plate for pruning and cutting the vines, a connecting rod fixedly installed at the top of the transmission plate, two limiting plates symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the connecting rod, a limiting rod slidably connected through the limiting plates, the bottom ends of the two limiting rods being fixedly connected to one side of the top of the platform, one side of the connecting rod being connected to the crushing mechanism, and one side of the transmission plate being fixedly connected to one side of the transmission ring.

[0012] In one possible design, the crushing mechanism is fixedly connected to a connecting frame on one side of the connecting rod. Four mounting rods are symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting frame. The bottom ends of the four mounting rods extend into the collection box and are fixedly installed with the same fixing plate. Multiple crushing blades are fixedly installed at equal intervals at the bottom of the fixing plate. A pad is fixedly installed inside the collection box. Multiple perforations are opened at equal intervals on the pad, and the crushing blades cooperate with the corresponding perforations.

[0013] In one possible design, the collection box contains a holding box located below a pad. One side of the holding box extends to the outside of the collection box and is fixedly mounted on a support plate. Two movable rods are symmetrically slidably connected to the support plate. The top of the two movable rods is fixedly mounted with the same pull rod, and the bottom of the two movable rods is fixedly mounted with the same U-shaped frame. The two sides of the U-shaped frame extend to the two sides of the collection box, respectively. Two locking plates are symmetrically fixedly mounted at the bottom of the U-shaped frame, and locking rings are fixedly mounted on both sides of the collection box. The locking plates engage with the corresponding locking rings. A compression spring is sleeved on the movable rod located below the support plate. The top and bottom of the compression spring are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate and the top of the U-shaped frame, respectively.

[0014] The method of using the aforementioned intelligent sweet potato vine pruning device includes the following steps: S1. First, move this device to the farmland where sweet potatoes are grown, and insert the vines that need to be pruned into the suction cover; S2. When the drive motor is started and the first rotating plate is rotated, the connecting shaft can be driven to move in a ring. At this time, the sliding plate can be driven to move in a ring. In this way, under the lateral sliding cooperation with the transmission ring, the transmission ring can be driven to move in a longitudinal reciprocating motion. In this way, under the transmission cooperation of the transmission ring, the transmission plate can be driven to move in a longitudinal reciprocating motion. In this way, the cutter can move in a longitudinal reciprocating motion. When the cutter passes through the bracket, the vines can be trimmed. S3. When the connecting shaft moves, the transmission shaft can be driven to rotate through the second rotating plate. At this time, the shaft can be driven to rotate through the transmission cooperation of the two synchronous pulleys and the synchronous belt. This can distribute the power of the drive motor to the blades, causing multiple blades to rotate simultaneously. When the blades rotate, they can generate strong suction, which can make the straw have suction, so that after the vines are trimmed, they can be sucked into the collection box. S4. When the connecting frame moves longitudinally back and forth with the connecting rod, it can drive multiple crushing blades to move longitudinally back and forth through the four mounting rods and the fixing plate. At this time, after the vines are absorbed into the collection box, they can be cut and crushed by multiple crushing blades. The vines after being cut and crushed will fall into the holding box through the perforation. S5. When it is necessary to clean the vines in the container, the lever can be pulled upwards to move the U-shaped frame upwards through the two moving rods. This allows the two plates to be pulled out from their corresponding locking rings, releasing the restriction on the container. After that, the container can be removed from the collection box, and the shredded vines can be cleaned.

[0015] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are merely exemplary and do not limit the invention.

[0016] Beneficial effects: In this invention, the driving mechanism can be set up so that the blower assembly can run after receiving the driving force of the driving mechanism and generate suction. At this time, after the vines that need to be trimmed are inserted into the suction hood, they are cut by the trimming mechanism. At this time, the vines can be sucked into the collection box along the suction tube under the action of the suction force so that the trimmed vines can be collected. In this invention, the collection mechanism can drive the linkage assembly to move by starting the drive motor. At this time, under the transmission cooperation with the slide plate, the transmission ring can be driven to move longitudinally, which can drive the pruning mechanism to move, so as to prune the sweet potato vines. When the linkage assembly moves, it can drive the rotating shaft to rotate through the transmission action of the belt assembly, thereby driving multiple blades to rotate. In this invention, the pruning mechanism can perform longitudinal reciprocating motion after the transmission plate receives power from the transmission ring. This can drive the cutter to perform longitudinal reciprocating motion, thereby pruning and cutting the vines. When the transmission plate performs longitudinal reciprocating motion, it can drive the pruning mechanism to perform longitudinal reciprocating motion through the connecting rod, so as to crush and cut the vines absorbed into the collection box. In this invention, the crushing mechanism enables multiple crushing blades to reciprocate longitudinally via four mounting rods and a fixing plate when the connecting frame moves longitudinally back and forth with the connecting rod. At this time, after the vines are absorbed into the collection box, they can be cut and crushed by the multiple crushing blades, so that the soil can easily absorb the vines when they are returned to the field.

[0017] This invention allows for the collection of pruned sweet potato vines after pruning. Furthermore, the vines can be crushed and cut during collection, enabling them to be returned to the field for reuse, facilitating soil absorption of nutrients. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection" and "installation" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "connection" can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. "Fixed" means that the devices are connected to each other and their relative positional relationship remains unchanged after the connection. The directional terms mentioned in the embodiments of the present invention, such as "inner," "outer," "top," and "bottom," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] In this embodiment of the invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0023] In this embodiment of the invention, "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0024] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" as used in this specification mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment is included in one or more embodiments of the invention. Therefore, the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," "in still other embodiments," etc., appearing in different parts of this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including, but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0025] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1-8 The present embodiment of a sweet potato vine intelligent pruning device includes a movable base 1, and each of the four corners of the top of the movable base 1 is fixedly installed with a column 2, and the top of the four columns 2 together fixally supports a platform 3.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, a drive mechanism is installed on the top of the movable base 1. This drive mechanism specifically includes a first mounting plate 7 and a second mounting plate 8, both fixedly mounted on the top of the movable base 1. The tops of both the first mounting plate 7 and the second mounting plate 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the platform 3 to ensure structural stability. A drive motor 10 is fixedly mounted on one side of the first mounting plate 7. The output shaft of the drive motor 10 passes through the first mounting plate 7 and is connected to a linkage assembly. This linkage assembly is the core part of the drive mechanism; it is responsible for transmitting the power of the drive motor 10 to other components that need to move.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the specific structure of the linkage assembly includes a first rotating plate 11 fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 10. A connecting shaft 12 is fixedly mounted on the top side of one side of the first rotating plate 11. One end of this connecting shaft 12 passes through a slide plate 14 and extends to one side of the transmission ring 13. The slide plate 14 is slidably connected within a guide rail 16, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the platform 3, and the top of the straw 5 is also fixedly connected to this guide rail 16. The connecting shaft 12 and the slide plate 14 are rotatably connected, so the connecting shaft 12 can carry the slide plate 14 in a circular motion. A second rotating plate 15 is also fixedly mounted on one end of the connecting shaft 12, and a transmission shaft 20 is fixedly mounted on the bottom side of one side of the second rotating plate 15. This transmission shaft 20 passes through a second mounting plate 8 and is rotatably connected to the second mounting plate 8. One end of the transmission shaft 20 is also connected to a belt assembly.

[0028] like Figure 4As shown, the belt assembly includes two synchronous pulleys 26 and a synchronous belt 27. The two synchronous pulleys 26 are fixedly mounted on one end of the drive shaft 20 and one end of the rotating shaft 24 (the rotating shaft 24 is the shaft inside the air duct 21 used to drive the blades 25 to rotate). The synchronous belt 27 is sleeved on the two synchronous pulleys 26. Therefore, when the drive shaft 20 rotates, it can drive the rotating shaft 24 to rotate via the belt assembly.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a collection mechanism is installed on the top of the platform 3. This collection mechanism includes a collection box 4 fixedly installed on the top of the platform 3. A suction tube 5 is fixedly installed on one inner wall of the collection box 4, and the bottom end of the suction tube 5 extends to the top of the movable base 1 and is fixedly installed with a suction hood 6. A bracket 9 is also fixedly installed on the bottom side of the suction hood 6 to ensure the stability of the suction hood 6. The suction hood 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the movable base 1. On the other inner wall of the collection box 4, a blower assembly is installed. One side of this blower assembly extends to the outside of the collection box 4 and is connected to the drive mechanism. The specific structure of the blower assembly includes a blower duct 21 fixedly installed on the other inner wall of the collection box 4. A mounting bracket 22 and a mesh plate 23 are fixedly installed inside the blower duct 21. The mesh plate 23 is located on one side of the mounting bracket 22 to prevent debris from entering the blades 25. A rotating shaft 24 is rotatably connected through the mounting bracket 22, and multiple blades 25 are fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 24 at equal intervals. When the shaft 24 rotates, it drives multiple blades 25 to rotate, thereby generating a strong suction force. This suction force can then draw the pruned sweet potato vines into the collection box 4 through the suction tube 5 and the suction cover 6.

[0030] On one side of the platform 3, we have also installed a pruning mechanism. This pruning mechanism is connected to the drive mechanism and is used to prune the sweet potato vines. The specific structure of the pruning mechanism can be designed according to actual needs, as long as it can be connected to the transmission ring 13 and move longitudinally reciprocating under the drive of the transmission ring 13.

[0031] In addition, we designed a crushing mechanism. This crushing mechanism is connected to the pruning mechanism, and one side extends into the collection mechanism. The specific structure of the crushing mechanism can also be designed according to actual needs, as long as it can crush and cut the sweet potato vines conveyed to the collection mechanism.

[0032] During operation, simply starting the drive motor 10 activates the linkage assembly, which in turn drives the transmission ring 13 in a longitudinal reciprocating motion, thereby driving the pruning mechanism to prune the sweet potato vines. Simultaneously, the movement of the linkage assembly also drives the rotating shaft 24 via the belt assembly, which in turn rotates multiple blades 25 to generate suction. This suction draws the pruned sweet potato vines into the collection box 4, where they are then crushed and cut by the pulverizing mechanism.

[0033] Example 2: Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 This embodiment, based on Example 1, focuses on the design of the pruning mechanism, a key component of the intelligent sweet potato vine pruning device proposed in Example 1. The pruning mechanism includes a limiting plate 17 fixedly mounted on one side of the platform 3, which provides a sliding track for the transmission plate 18. The transmission plate 18 can smoothly perform longitudinal reciprocating motion on the limiting plate 17. A cutter 19 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the transmission plate 18, and the sharp blade of the cutter 19 is used for precise pruning and cutting of the sweet potato vines.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, to ensure the stable movement of the transmission plate 18, a connecting rod 28 is fixedly installed on the top of the transmission plate 18. Two limiting plates 29 are symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the connecting rod 28, and limiting rods 30 are slidably connected through these two limiting plates 29. The bottom ends of the two limiting rods 30 are fixedly connected to the top side of the platform 3. This design effectively restricts the movement trajectory of the transmission plate 18, allowing it to only perform longitudinal reciprocating motion.

[0035] More importantly, the transmission plate 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the transmission ring 13. Therefore, when the transmission ring 13 receives the driving force from the drive mechanism, it will move longitudinally, thereby driving the transmission plate 18 and the cutter 19 to perform longitudinal reciprocating motion together, thus achieving the trimming and cutting of sweet potato vines.

[0036] In addition, the trimming mechanism is also connected to the shredding mechanism. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the crushing mechanism includes a connecting frame 31 fixedly connected to one side of the connecting rod 28. Four mounting rods 32 are symmetrically fixedly mounted on the bottom of the connecting frame 31. The bottom ends of these four mounting rods 32 all extend into the collection box 4 and are jointly fixedly mounted on a fixing plate 33. Multiple crushing blades 34 are fixedly mounted at equal intervals on the bottom of the fixing plate 33. These crushing blades 34 are used to further cut and crush the pruned sweet potato vines.

[0037] like Figure 7 As shown, to ensure the pulverizing effect, a pad 35 is fixedly installed inside the collection box 4, and multiple perforations are evenly spaced on the pad 35. These perforations correspond to the positions of the pulverizing blades 34, so that the vines cut by the pulverizing blades 34 can fall smoothly into the holding box 36 below.

[0038] The container 36 is located below the pad 35 and is used to collect the cut and crushed sweet potato vines. One side of the container 36 extends to the outside of the collection box 4 and is fixedly installed with a support plate 37. Two movable rods 38 are symmetrically slidably connected to the support plate 37, and the top of these two movable rods 38 is fixedly installed with the same pull rod 39. By pulling the pull rod 39 upward, the two movable rods 38 can be moved upward together.

[0039] The bottom ends of the two movable rods 38 are fixedly mounted with the same U-shaped frame 40, and the two sides of the U-shaped frame 40 extend to the two sides of the collection box 4 respectively. Two locking plates 42 are symmetrically fixedly mounted on the bottom of the U-shaped frame 40. These two locking plates 42 can be engaged with the locking rings 43 on both sides of the collection box 4, thereby fixing the holding box 36.

[0040] like Figure 7 As shown, to ensure the stability of the container 36 when no external force is applied, a compression spring 41 is fitted onto the moving rod 38, located below the support plate 37. The top and bottom ends of the compression spring 41 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 37 and the top of the U-shaped frame 40, respectively. Thus, when it is necessary to clean the vines inside the container 36, simply pull the lever 39 upwards. This will move the U-shaped frame 40 upwards via the two moving rods 38, thereby pulling the two retaining plates 42 out of their corresponding retaining rings 43 and releasing the restriction on the container 36. Afterwards, the container 36 can be removed from the collection box 4 to clean up the shredded vines.

[0041] This invention proposes a method for using an intelligent pruning device for sweet potato vines, characterized by the following steps: S1. First, move this device to the farmland where sweet potatoes are grown, and insert the vines that need to be pruned into the suction cover 6; S2. When the drive motor 10 is started and drives the first rotating plate 11 to rotate, it can drive the connecting shaft 12 to move in a ring. At this time, it can drive the slide plate 14 to move in a ring. In this way, under the lateral sliding cooperation with the transmission ring 13, it can drive the transmission ring 13 to move in a longitudinal reciprocating motion. In this way, under the transmission cooperation of the transmission ring 13, it can drive the transmission plate 18 to move in a longitudinal reciprocating motion. In this way, it can drive the cutter 19 to move in a longitudinal reciprocating motion. When the cutter 19 passes through the bracket 9, it can trim the vines. S3. When the connecting shaft 12 moves, the transmission shaft 20 can be driven to rotate through the second rotating plate 15. At this time, under the transmission cooperation of the two synchronous pulleys 26 and the synchronous belt 27, the rotating shaft 24 can be driven to rotate, so that the power of the drive motor 10 can be distributed to the blades 25, driving multiple blades 25 to rotate at the same time. When the blades 25 rotate, they can generate strong suction, so that the straw 5 has suction, so that after the vines are trimmed, they can be sucked into the collection box 4. S4. When the connecting frame 31 moves longitudinally back and forth with the connecting rod 28, it can drive multiple crushing blades 34 to move longitudinally back and forth through the four mounting rods 32 and the fixing plate 33. At this time, after the vines are absorbed into the collection box 4, they can be cut and crushed by the multiple crushing blades 34. After being cut and crushed, the vines will fall down from the perforation into the holding box 36. S5. When it is necessary to clean the vines in the container 36, the pull rod 39 can be pulled upwards to move the U-shaped frame 40 upwards through the two moving rods 38. This allows the two card plates 42 to be pulled out from their respective card rings 43, releasing the restriction on the container 36. Then the container 36 can be removed from the collection box 4, and the shredded vines can be cleaned.

[0042] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principle and wiring method of the drive motor 10 are commonplace and are all conventional methods or common knowledge. They will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0043] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
