Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to litchi cultivation methods, specifically to a method for controlling winter shoots and promoting flowering in Xianjinfeng litchi cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] Lychee is an economic crop rich in nutrients, containing glucose, sucrose, protein, fat, and vitamins A, B, and C, as well as folic acid, arginine, tryptophan, and other nutrients, which are very beneficial to human health. It is widely cultivated in southern my country. In order to improve the quality of lychee, it is necessary to control the shoot growth of lychee trees.
[0003] Shoot control in litchi cultivation is a measure to promote the physiological differentiation of flower buds in litchi trees. Essentially, it aims to transform the litchi tree from vegetative growth to reproductive growth. This is mainly achieved through chemical or physical methods to reduce the content of auxins and gibberellins in the litchi tree, while increasing the content of abscisic acid and cytokinins. This slows down or stops vegetative growth, increases the accumulation of organic nutrients in the litchi tree, and prepares it for the morphological differentiation of flower buds.
[0004] The most common physical method for controlling shoot growth in litchi trees is girdling or ring barking. Girdling or ring barking blocks or affects the transport of organic nutrients from the above-ground parts of the litchi tree to the underground parts, weakening root growth and reducing the ability of the litchi roots to absorb water and inorganic salts, thus inhibiting above-ground growth. Specifically, when the litchi tree begins to differentiate into flower buds, a girdling knife or other tools are used to girdle or ring bark the trunk or branches. When using a girdling knife, a person holds the knife and circles the litchi trunk or branch, leaving a ring or spiral cut on the bark, thus achieving the purpose of controlling shoot growth.
[0005] The above-mentioned methods of shoot control have the following shortcomings:
[0006] 1. Manual cutting is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient.
[0007] 2. The bark is cut manually, relying entirely on the worker's feel. The depth of the cut is inconsistent, making it difficult to achieve precise cuts. The effect of controlling the shoots needs further improvement. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems and provide a method for controlling winter shoots and promoting flowering in the cultivation of Xianjinfeng litchi. This method uses an automatic cutting method to cut the litchi tree, which not only has high work efficiency, but also has a relatively consistent cutting depth, which is conducive to obtaining better shoot control effect.
[0009] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0010] A method for controlling winter shoots and promoting flowering in Xianjinfeng litchi cultivation includes the following steps:
[0011] (1) Identify the litchi tree to be cut;
[0012] (2) Determine the appropriate cutting type for the litchi tree to be cut. The cutting type includes spiral girdling and ring cutting.
[0013] (3) Set the cutting type and cutting parameters on the winter shoot control and flower promotion cutting terminal;
[0014] (4) Start the winter shoot control and flower promotion cutting terminal. The electric control system of the winter shoot control and flower promotion cutting terminal controls the opening of the embracing mechanism of the winter shoot control and flower promotion cutting terminal and places the embracing mechanism on the outside of the trunk to be cut. Then the electric control system controls the embracing mechanism to clamp the trunk to be cut.
[0015] The electric control system controls the cutting mechanism of the winter shoot flowering cutting terminal to perform the cutting operation: the radial drive mechanism drives the cutting blade to move radially to approach the trunk to be cut until the cutting blade is inserted into the trunk to a specified depth; at the same time, the circumferential drive mechanism drives the cutting blade to move circumferentially, causing the cutting blade to make a ring cut on the trunk bark; if the spiral girdling method is performed, the axial drive mechanism drives the cutting blade to move axially, causing the cutting blade to make a spiral cut on the trunk bark.
[0016] (5) After the cutting is completed, the electric control system controls the embracing mechanism to release the tree trunk that has been cut, and then moves the winter shoot-promoting flower cutting terminal away from the tree trunk that has been cut.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step (2), the method for determining the cutting type is as follows:
[0018] If the litchi tree is growing vigorously, has a thick canopy, and is lightly pruned, the spiral ring-barking method is suitable.
[0019] If the lychee tree is of moderate growth, or is a fruit-bearing tree that only produces one autumn shoot after harvesting, or is an old lychee tree, the girdling method is suitable.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step (3), the cutting parameters of both the spiral circumferential stripping method and the circumferential cutting method include cutting depth, cutting movement speed, cutting length, etc.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step (3), the cutting parameters of the spiral girdling method further include a girdling width of 0.2cm to 0.4cm, a number of turns of 1.2 to 1.8, a girdling spiral angle of 16 degrees to 19 degrees, and a pitch equal to the diameter of the tree trunk.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step (4), the opening and closing operation method of the circumferential mechanism is as follows:
[0023] The opening and closing drive motor drives the opening and closing transmission screw to rotate, which in turn drives the opening and closing transmission screw nut and the opening and closing moving frame to move linearly. Then, the opening and closing transmission connecting rod drives the two semi-circular ring mounting parts to flip outward in the opposite direction in a synchronized manner until the lychee tree to be cut can be placed between the two semi-circular ring mounting parts.
[0024] Place the two semi-circular ring-shaped mounting pieces on the outside of the lychee tree to be cut. Drive the opening and closing drive motor to rotate the opening and closing transmission screw in the opposite direction. The opening and closing transmission connecting rod will cause the two semi-circular ring-shaped mounting pieces to rotate inward synchronously until the two semi-circular ring-shaped mounting pieces are combined into a complete circular structure.
[0025] The electric control system controls all the surrounding clamping components to perform the clamping operation. The clamping cylinder drives the clamping wheel and spring mounting bracket to approach the tree trunk, and then the clamping wheel presses against the outside of the tree trunk to achieve clamping. During this process, when the clamping wheel just contacts the surface of the tree trunk, the clamping cylinder continues to drive a set distance, causing the clamping spring to compress and deform, achieving adaptive elastic clamping. This avoids forcibly squeezing the tree trunk and causing additional damage, while also adapting to the outer contour of the tree trunk to achieve more precise clamping.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step (4), the specific cutting operation of the cutting mechanism is as follows:
[0027] The electric control system controls the radial drive motor of the radial drive mechanism to drive the radial transmission gear to rotate, and then the radial transmission rack carries the cutting blade to move radially closer to the tree trunk until the cutting blade is inserted into the tree trunk to a specified depth;
[0028] Simultaneously, the circumferential drive motor of the circumferential drive mechanism drives the circumferential transmission gear to rotate, while the circumferential transmission gear ring that meshes with the circumferential transmission gear remains stationary. This circumferential transmission gear ring includes two semi-circular gear rings respectively fixed inside the two semi-circular encircling mounting parts, which at this time form a complete circumferential transmission gear ring. The circumferential drive gear moves circumferentially along the circumferential transmission gear ring, thereby synchronously moving the contour cutting component, the axial drive mechanism, and the radial drive mechanism. The radial drive mechanism is mounted on the contour cutting component, the contour cutting component is mounted on the axial drive mechanism, and the axial drive mechanism is mounted on the circumferential drive mechanism. During the circumferential movement, the cutting blade performs a circular cut on the bark of the tree trunk.
[0029] Furthermore, when performing the spiral girdling method, while moving in a circular motion, the axial drive motor of the axial drive mechanism drives the contour cutting component to move axially. At this time, the motion trajectory of the cutting blade superimposed on the circular motion is spiral, thereby performing spiral cutting on the bark of the tree trunk.
[0030] Furthermore, the cutting mechanism is located inside the embracing mechanism. When the embracing mechanism is clamping the trunk to be cut, the contour cutting component gradually approaches the trunk. When the contour roller just touches the trunk surface, the clamping operation is not yet complete. The embracing mechanism continues to close, causing the contour spring to compress and deform until the clamping operation is completed. At this time, the contour spring elastically presses the contour roller against the trunk surface, and the relative position of the contour roller and the adjusted cutting blade remains unchanged. When the cutting blade and the contour roller move in a circle, the contour roller serves as the basic support point for the cutting blade and moves contour-following along the surface of the trunk, ensuring that the cutting depth of the cutting blade remains constant, further improving the cutting quality and obtaining better shoot control.
[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0032] 1. The cutting method of the present invention uses an automatic cutting method to cut the litchi tree, which not only has high work efficiency, but also has a more consistent cutting depth, which is conducive to obtaining better shoot control effect.
[0033] 2. The cutting method of the present invention uses an electric clamping mechanism to automatically clamp the tree trunk to be cut and fix it in a designated position for cutting. At the same time, it can prevent positional displacement during the cutting process, improve the cutting quality, and obtain better shoot control effect. Attached Figure Description

[0049] Combination Figures 1-6 The method for controlling winter shoots and promoting flowering in the cultivation of Xianjinfeng litchi in this embodiment includes the following steps:
[0050] (1) Identify the litchi tree to be cut.
[0051] (2) Determine the appropriate cutting type for the litchi tree to be cut, including spiral girdling and ring cutting; the method for determining the cutting type is as follows:
[0052] If the litchi tree is growing vigorously, has a thick canopy, and is lightly pruned, the spiral ring-barking method is suitable.
[0053] If the lychee tree is of moderate growth, or is a fruit-bearing tree that only produces one autumn shoot after harvesting, or is an old lychee tree, the girdling method is suitable.
[0054] (3) Set the cutting type and cutting parameters on the winter shoot control and flower promotion cutting terminal; the cutting parameters for spiral girdling and ring cutting methods include cutting depth, cutting speed, cutting length, etc.
[0055] The cutting parameters for the spiral girdling method also include a girdling width of 0.2cm to 0.4cm, a number of turns of 1.2 to 1.8, a girdling spiral angle of 16 degrees to 19 degrees, and a pitch equal to the trunk diameter.
[0056] (4) Start the winter shoot control and flower promotion cutting terminal. The electric control system of the winter shoot control and flower promotion cutting terminal opens the embracing mechanism of the winter shoot control and flower promotion cutting terminal and places the embracing mechanism on the outside of the trunk to be cut. Then the electric control system controls the embracing mechanism to clamp the trunk to be cut.
[0057] The electric control system controls the cutting mechanism of the winter shoot flowering cutting terminal to perform the cutting operation: the radial drive mechanism drives the cutting blade 17 to move radially to approach the trunk to be cut until the cutting blade 17 is inserted into the trunk to a specified depth; at the same time, the circumferential drive mechanism drives the cutting blade 17 to move circumferentially, causing the cutting blade 17 to make a ring cut on the trunk bark; if the spiral girdling method is performed, the axial drive mechanism drives the cutting blade 17 to move axially, causing the cutting blade 17 to make a spiral cut on the trunk bark.
[0058] (5) After the cutting is completed, the electric control system controls the embracing mechanism to release the tree trunk that has been cut, and then moves the winter shoot-promoting flower cutting terminal away from the tree trunk that has been cut.
[0059] Furthermore, combined with Figures 1-3 In step (4), the opening and closing operation method of the encircling mechanism is as follows:
[0060] The opening and closing drive motor 8 drives the opening and closing transmission screw to rotate, which in turn drives the opening and closing transmission screw nut and the opening and closing moving frame 9 to move linearly. Then, the opening and closing transmission connecting rod 10 drives the two semi-circular ring mounting parts 2 to rotate outward in the opposite direction in a synchronized manner until the lychee tree to be cut can be placed between the two semi-circular ring mounting parts 2.
[0061] Place the two semi-circular ring-shaped mounting parts 2 on the outside of the lychee tree to be cut. Drive the opening and closing drive motor 8 to rotate the opening and closing transmission screw in the opposite direction. The opening and closing transmission connecting rod 10 drives the two semi-circular ring-shaped mounting parts 2 to rotate inward synchronously until the two semi-circular ring-shaped mounting parts 2 are just combined into a complete circular structure.
[0062] The electric control system controls all the surrounding clamping components to perform the clamping operation. The clamping cylinder 7 drives the clamping wheel 4 and the spring mounting bracket 5 to approach the tree trunk, and then the clamping wheel 4 presses against the outside of the tree trunk to achieve clamping. During this process, when the clamping wheel 4 just contacts the surface of the tree trunk, the clamping cylinder 7 continues to drive a set distance, causing the clamping spring 6 to compress and deform, achieving adaptive elastic clamping. This will not forcefully squeeze the tree trunk and cause additional damage to the tree trunk, but will also adapt to the outer contour of the tree trunk to achieve more precise clamping.
[0063] Furthermore, combined with Figures 4-6 In step (4), the specific cutting operation of the cutting mechanism is as follows:
[0064] The electric control system controls the radial drive motor 21 of the radial drive mechanism to drive the radial transmission gear to rotate, and then the radial transmission rack carries the cutting blade 17 to move radially closer to the tree trunk until the cutting blade 17 is inserted into the tree trunk to a specified depth.
[0065] Meanwhile, the circumferential drive motor 11 of the circumferential drive mechanism drives the circumferential transmission gear 13 to rotate, while the circumferential transmission gear ring that cooperates with the circumferential transmission gear 13 remains stationary. This circumferential transmission gear ring includes two semi-circular gear rings 14, which are respectively fixed inside the two semi-circular encircling mounting parts 2. The two semi-circular gear rings 14 at this time form a complete circumferential transmission gear ring. The circumferential transmission gear 13 moves circumferentially along the circumferential transmission gear ring, and then carries the contour cutting assembly, the axial drive mechanism, and the radial drive mechanism to perform synchronous circumferential movement. The radial drive mechanism is set on the contour cutting assembly, the contour cutting assembly is set on the axial drive mechanism, and the axial drive mechanism is set on the circumferential drive mechanism. While moving circumferentially, the cutting blade 17 performs a ring cut on the bark of the tree trunk.
[0066] Furthermore, when performing the spiral girdling method, while moving in a circular motion, the axial drive motor 15 of the axial drive mechanism drives the contour cutting component to move axially. At this time, the motion trajectory of the cutting blade 17, which is superimposed with the circular motion, is spiral, thereby performing spiral cutting on the bark of the tree trunk.
[0067] Furthermore, the cutting mechanism is located inside the embracing mechanism. When the embracing mechanism is clamping the tree trunk to be cut, the contour cutting component gradually approaches the tree trunk. When the contour roller 18 just contacts the tree trunk surface, the clamping operation is not yet complete. The embracing mechanism continues to close, causing the contour spring 19 to compress and deform until the clamping operation is completed. At this time, the contour spring 19 elastically presses the contour roller 18 against the tree trunk surface, and the relative position of the contour roller 18 and the adjusted cutting blade 17 remains unchanged. When the cutting blade 17 and the contour roller 18 move in a circle, the contour roller 18 serves as the basic support point for the cutting blade 17 and moves contour-following along the surface of the tree trunk, ensuring that the cutting depth of the cutting blade 17 remains constant, further improving the cutting quality and obtaining better shoot control.

Specifically, the robotic arm 22, the electric walking mechanism 23, and the vision positioning system can refer to existing technologies.
