Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aquaculture agricultural machinery, specifically relating to an automatic harvesting and seeding machine for shellfish in tidal flats. Background Technology

[0002] Mudflat shellfish farming is a pillar industry of my country's marine aquaculture, characterized by its large scale, complete industrial chain, and high economic value. The shellfish farming cycle mainly includes seeding and harvesting. Traditional manual methods rely mainly on manpower using simple tools such as shovels, rakes, and nets to dig and collect shellfish on the mudflats, which is inefficient, labor-intensive, and heavily reliant on experience.

[0003] In some regions, automated harvesting machinery has begun to be promoted, with mechanized harvesting efficiency reaching up to 10 times that of manual harvesting. Currently, shellfish harvesting machinery on the market is mainly based on improvements to beach cleaning machines and rice harvesters. For example, Chinese patent CN120130450A of Nantong Beimu Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. discloses a combined tidal flat shellfish harvesting device and method, which consists of a frame, a walking module, a harvesting module, a sand-cleaning module, and a conveying module. The harvesting module includes a roller soil breaker and a roller shovel picker. The sand-cleaning module consists of a vibrating cleaning screen, a planar four-bar linkage mechanism, and a vibrating motor. The vibrating motor drives the screening and cleaning actions, and the cleaning nozzles perform hydraulic flushing of the shellfish and sand.

[0004] In addition, in the field of shellfish harvesting, Chinese patent CN215500992U discloses an automatic shellfish harvester for tidal flats. Through the setting of sand-shoveling plates, sand-filtering conveyor belts, screening conveyor belts and collection conveyor belts, the height of the shellfish touching the ground can be adjusted according to environmental needs by setting rotatable sand-shoveling plates and wing plates. Then, the setting of screening conveyor belts filters out the smaller shellfish and keeps the larger ones.

[0005] Chinese patent CN223364839U discloses a double-layer shovel device for harvesting shellfish in tidal flats and its shellfish harvesting equipment. The double-layer shovel device for harvesting shellfish in tidal flats includes a support frame, a double-layer shovel, and a double-layer shovel drive mechanism. The double-layer shovel is rotatably mounted on the support frame. The double-layer shovel drive mechanism is used to drive the double-layer shovel to vibrate in order to complete the harvesting of shellfish.

[0006] The common technical defects of the above-mentioned prior art are as follows: 1. After the harvested shellfish are collected using containers such as baskets and bags, they need to be lifted off the harvester. The containers are heavy and difficult for one person to handle. Sometimes, to reduce the workload, the harvested shellfish need to be carried off the machine while it is moving, which poses a significant safety hazard; 2. The machine filters out smaller shellfish larvae to achieve sustainable development, but the larvae filtered on the sides of the machine will be crushed by the machine's tracks, indicating a design flaw; 3. The above-mentioned prior art only provides harvesting devices and methods for tidal flat shellfish, while seeding still relies on manual labor.

[0007] In the field of shellfish seeding, mechanized seeding aims to achieve precise, efficient, and uniform operations. The main technical equipment includes centrifugal seeding devices and air-blowing seeding devices.

[0008] Chinese patent CN111109169A discloses an automated shellfish seeding device, but its disadvantage is that it is too large to move and is difficult to apply to large areas of mudflats. Existing technology also discloses an air-blowing shellfish seeding device and its seeding method. A seedling box is fixed to a frame, and multiple seedling discharge components are provided at the lower end of the seedling box. The upper and lower ends of the shells in the seedling discharge components are fixed to seedling discharge pipes and seedling guide pipes, and the upper end of the seedling discharge pipes is fixed to the seedling box. A rotating shaft passes through a pair of holes opened in each shell and forms a rotating pair with the frame. Seedling separation plates are provided on the rotating shaft at positions within the inner cavities of each shell. In the seedling blowing mechanism, the exhaust port of the blower is connected to the air guide pipe through an exhaust pipe and a solenoid valve. Multiple seedling blowing pipes are fixed on the air guide pipe. This prior art provides an integrated pneumatic seeding method.

[0009] Chinese patent CN208768735U discloses a shellfish seeding machine for tidal flats. The frame has a pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels at its bottom. A first sprocket is located at the axle end of each front wheel, and the first sprocket is connected to a second sprocket via a transmission chain. The second sprocket is keyed to one end of a seeding shaft that is rotatably supported on the frame. Multiple evenly distributed seeders are arranged on the frame. This prior art provides an integrated mechanical power seeding method.

[0010] In summary, existing technologies still have shortcomings in terms of safety during harvesting operations, navigability in complex soft tidal flats, shellfish damage control, and the level of system automation. Therefore, there is a need to develop a new type of shellfish harvester that can adapt to complex tidal flat geology, achieve efficient and low-damage harvesting, and potentially integrate precision seeding functions. Summary of the Invention

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 10 The present invention provides an automatic harvesting and seeding machine for shellfish in tidal flats, comprising a vehicle body 1, a harvester head 2, a vertical lifting mechanism 3, and a seeding device 4.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle body 1 adopts a metal frame structure with a skin, and a tracked walking device 101 is installed at its bottom. This tracked walking device 101 is preferably a segmented articulated design, divided into 2 to 4 segments connected by articulation points. Compared with traditional integral tracks, it has the following advantages: better terrain adaptability, distributed vehicle weight to reduce pressure on the ground, and reduced material usage. A fuel tank 102 and an engine 103 are arranged in the middle of the vehicle body 1. The engine 103 serves as the power source for the entire machine, transmitting power to the tracked walking device 101 and the first gearbox 208 located inside the harvester head 2 via a belt drive system. A driver's cab 104 is located at the front of the vehicle body 1, which integrates an electronic control device 105 for controlling the machine's movement, harvesting, lifting, and seeding actions. At the front of the vehicle body 1, behind the harvester head 2, a transverse conveyor belt 106 is installed to receive shellfish output from the harvester head 2. The end of the transverse conveyor belt 106 is connected to a longitudinal and upwardly inclined transfer conveyor belt 107, which is mounted by a bracket 108 and driven by a motor 109 at the top. This conveyor belt can lift and transport shellfish to the lifting platform 303 of the vertical lifting mechanism 3 at the rear of the vehicle body.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 9As shown, the harvester head 2 is hinged to the front of the vehicle body 1 via a top truss 201. The front end of the top truss 201 is connected to the telescopic boom 203 at the front of the vehicle body via a hydraulic telescopic arm 202. By adjusting the length of the hydraulic telescopic arm 202, the soil penetration depth and ground clearance of the harvester head 2 can be controlled to adapt to different tidal flat conditions and shellfish burial depths. Several soil-breaking shovels 215 are installed below the front of the top truss 201 to loosen the tidal flat soil. Behind the soil-breaking shovels 215 is a feeding roller 212, which is composed of multiple clusters of stainless steel bristles. During rotation, it pushes the loosened mud and sand mixed with shellfish backward. Behind the feeding roller 212, a first roller brush 210 and a second roller brush 211 are arranged in sequence. They are also composed of clusters of stainless steel bristles and are responsible for further brushing up and conveying the mixture of shellfish and mud and sand backward. The first roller brush 210 and the second roller brush 211 are driven by the driven shaft 205 through gearboxes 209 on both sides. The driven shaft 205 is powered by the driving shaft 207, which is connected to the second gearbox 206. The driving shaft 207 is connected to the first gearbox 208 driven by the engine 103. A vibrating screen plate 213 is installed below the two gearboxes 209, where most of the mud and sand are initially screened out. The shellfish and a small amount of mud and sand are continued to be conveyed backward by the roller brushes and fall onto the inclined filter conveyor belt 204. The filter conveyor belt 204 further filters out fine sand during the upward conveying process. The filtered clean shellfish are finally discharged from the top of the filter conveyor belt 204 and fall onto the transverse conveyor belt 106 of the vehicle body 1. Below the vibrating screen plate 213 and the filter conveyor belt 204, two guide plates 214 are symmetrically installed. They guide the screened mud and sand and small-sized shellfish larvae to the inside or outside of the machine, effectively preventing the larvae from being crushed by the rear track. A vibration motor is installed in the gearbox 209, which drives the output shaft of the gearbox to rotate. The output shaft drives the eccentric wheel at its end to rotate. When the eccentric wheel rotates, it drives the vibrating screen plate 213 to swing back and forth.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the vertical lifting mechanism 3 is installed in the middle of the vehicle body 1. It includes a cylinder 301 fixed to the chassis of the vehicle body, and the piston rod of the cylinder 301 is connected to a scissor lift frame 302. A lifting platform 303 is fixed to the top of the scissor lift frame 302. When the transfer conveyor belt 107 transports the harvested shellfish to the lifting platform 303, the cylinder 301 is activated by the electronic control device 105, which pushes the scissor lift frame 302 to extend, raising the fully loaded lifting platform 303 to a suitable height. A folding plate 304 is hinged to the side of the lifting platform 303. When unloading is required, the folding plate 304 can be opened as a sliding plate, which is safe and labor-saving.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the seeding device 4 is installed at the rear of the vehicle body 1. It includes a seeding frame 401 fixed to the vehicle body, with a seedling trough 402 for holding shellfish seedlings mounted on the top of the frame. The bottom of the seedling trough 402 has 1 to 8 perforated seeding holes, each connected to an air-blowing pipe 403. A seeding motor 404 is mounted on the side of the frame 401, its output shaft connected to a horizontally arranged rotating shaft. This rotating shaft passes sequentially through the middle of all the air-blowing pipes 403, and a rotating blade is installed corresponding to the position inside each air-blowing pipe 403. An air pump 405 is also installed at the rear of the vehicle body, its outlet connected to the bottom of all the air-blowing pipes 403 via a pipe. During operation, the shellfish seedlings in the seedling trough 402 fall into the air-blowing pipes 403 through the seeding holes. The seeding motor 404 drives the rotating shaft and the rotating blade to rotate at a uniform speed, evenly feeding the seedlings into the lower outlet of the air-blowing pipes 403. Meanwhile, the air pump 405 continuously blows air into the bottom of the air blowing pipe 403, blowing the falling seedlings out with a certain initial velocity and evenly scattering them onto the mudflats behind it. The rotation speed of the seedling sowing motor 404 can be adjusted by the electronic control device 105 to control the seedling falling frequency, and the pressure of the air pump 405 can be adjusted to control the seedling sowing distance, thereby achieving precise seedling sowing of different densities and ranges.

[0031] The electronic control device 105 serves as the control center, and is electrically connected to the motor 109 driving the conveyor belt, the seedling motor 404, the air pump 405, the solenoid valve controlling the lifting cylinder 301, and the starting and speed regulation mechanisms of the engine 103. The driver can centrally control the movement, harvester head lifting, harvesting operations, lifting platform operation, and seedling planting operations from within the cab 104 via an operating panel or handle. The system is highly automated and easy to operate.

[0032] The working principle of this invention is as follows: During the harvesting cycle, as the machine travels on the mudflats, the soil-breaking shovel 215 of the harvester head 2 penetrates 10-15cm into the soil, scooping up the shellfish along with the mud and sand. The material is then conveyed backward by the feed roller 212, the first roller brush 210, and the second roller brush 211. After multiple screenings and cleanings by the vibrating screen plate 213 and the filter conveyor belt 204, clean shellfish are obtained. The clean shellfish are then lifted and transported to the lifting platform 303 for temporary storage via the transverse conveyor belt 106 and the transfer conveyor belt 107. When the amount of shellfish on the lifting platform 303 reaches a certain level, the vehicle can unload the shellfish using the vertical lifting mechanism 3 without stopping the machine.

[0033] During the seedling sowing cycle, components such as the filter conveyor belt 204 and guide plate 214 can be removed, and the soil-breaking shovel 215 can be controlled to penetrate 5-10cm into the soil. Shellfish seedlings are then loaded into the seedling trough 402, and the seedlings are evenly and accurately sown onto the mudflat area after soil breaking through through the seedling sowing device 4 while the machine is moving.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the invention should be included within the scope of protection of the invention.
