Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of plant pruning, and particularly relates to an automatic lifting type pruning and collecting device for climbing plants. BACKGROUND

[0002] Creeper plants refer to a plant group that cannot grow vertically by itself due to long and thin stems and needs to rely on special structures to attach to supports (such as walls, trees, supports, etc.) to climb upwards, and belong to an important type of liana plants. Such plants are easy to damage the strength of buildings, and thus need to be cleaned regularly. Usually, personnel hold pruning machines to clean the plants on the wall surface, but due to the fixed cutter head of the pruning machine, only vertical operation with the wall surface can be performed, and the cutter head cannot be attached to the wall surface, resulting in low cleaning efficiency. The present application provides a structure capable of improving the cleaning efficiency. SUMMARY

[0006] Further technical scheme: an adjusting assembly for adjusting the height of the sliding block is arranged on the shell, the adjusting assembly comprises a steel cable A, one end of the steel cable A is fixedly connected to one side of the upper end of a frame, the frame is vertically fixedly connected to the upper surface of the shell, the other side of the upper end of the frame is symmetrically rotationally provided with two pulleys, the other end of the steel cable A is sequentially lapped on the two pulleys from the lower side of the sliding block and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of any motor.

[0007] A further technical solution: The adjustment component also includes a bracket, which is horizontally fixedly connected to the frame, and a fixed pulley is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the bracket. A movable pulley is provided below the fixed pulley, and a steel cable B is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the bracket. The other end of the steel cable B passes through the movable pulley and the fixed pulley in sequence, and is then fixedly connected to the output shaft of another motor.

[0008] A further technical solution: the movable pulley is slidably mounted on the frame, and a lead screw is rotatably connected to the frame. The movable pulley is threadedly connected to the lead screw, the slider is threadedly connected to the lead screw, and the slider is vertically slidably mounted on the frame. Both motors are fixedly connected to the housing.

[0009] A further technical solution: The housing is provided with a cleaning component for collecting plant debris on the ground. The cleaning component includes a brush cylinder and a negative pressure component. The brush cylinder is located at the end of the housing and is rotatably connected to the housing. A motor A for driving the brush cylinder is fixedly connected to the housing and is fixedly connected to the housing. The negative pressure component is used to guide the plant debris.

[0010] Further technical solution: The negative pressure component includes a shovel plate, which is obliquely fixed at the end of the housing, and the end of the shovel plate away from the housing is horizontally attached to the ground and is in the same vertical plane as the central axis of the brush cylinder.

[0011] A further technical solution: The negative pressure component also includes a collection chamber, which is fixedly connected to the end of the shell and communicates with the shovel plate. A fan is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the collection chamber, and the air outlet of the fan is inserted into the inner wall of the collection chamber.

[0012] Beneficial effects This invention provides an automatic lifting and pruning and collecting device for climbing plants, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art: 1. When it is necessary to clean climbing plants on the wall, the user can start motor C, which will drive the robotic arm A, which is fixedly connected to its output shaft, to rotate. At this time, the height of robotic arm B can be adjusted. During this process, the hydraulic rod can slowly rotate robotic arm A to avoid damaging motor C. The user can then start motor B, which will drive the cutter head at its end to rotate. The height of the cutter head can be adjusted by the cooperation of robotic arm B and robotic arm A, so that the cutter head can work at a higher position. During this process, the user can start the electric telescopic rod, which can be extended or shortened to drive the connecting plate to rotate around the connection point with robotic arm B until the cutter head is in contact with the wall. At this time, the user can start the cutting motor to make the cutter head rotate at high speed, so that the cutter head can clean the climbing plants on the wall while in contact with the wall. 2. When the cutter head starts cleaning the wall, the user can start the motor connected to steel cable A. Since the slider is at the bottom of the frame in the initial stage and its lower surface is pressed against steel cable A, when the motor starts, it begins to wind steel cable A. Under the guidance of the two pulleys, steel cable A pulls the bracket up at a uniform speed. At this time, the cutter head can rise slowly and uniformly while rotating and cutting the plants on the wall, thereby increasing the cleaning range of the cutter head. When the slider needs to descend, the user can start the motor connected to steel cable B. Under the guidance of the fixed pulley, the movable pulley will begin to rise at a constant speed along its connection with the frame. Since the lead screw is not self-locking, the sliding of the movable pulley will drive the screw threaded to it to rotate at a constant speed, which in turn will drive the slider threaded to it to descend at a constant speed. This will drive the cutter head to descend at a constant speed. When the user starts the motor connected to steel cable A again, the slider will slide upward and drive the screw threaded to it to rotate in the opposite direction. This will cause the movable pulley to slide downward and reset. In other words, the slider can rise or fall through the cooperation of steel cables A and B. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0020] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0021] Please see Figs. 1-5 According to one embodiment of the present invention, an automatic lifting pruning and collecting device for climbing plants includes a housing 101. A slider 201 is vertically arranged on the housing 101. A mechanical arm A202 is rotatably connected to one side of the slider 201. A mechanical arm B203 is rotatably connected to the other end of the mechanical arm A202. The other end of the mechanical arm B203 is rotatably connected to a connecting plate 206. An electric telescopic rod 205 is rotatably connected to one side of the connecting plate 206. The other end of the electric telescopic rod 205 is rotatably connected to a shaft plate 407. The shaft plate 407 is rotatably connected to the mechanical arm B203. A hydraulic rod 204 is rotatably connected to the side of the shaft plate 407 away from the electric telescopic rod 205. The other end of the hydraulic rod 204 is rotatably connected to the slider 201. A cutter head 207 is rotatably arranged at the lower end of the connecting plate 206.

[0022] In the above embodiment, when it is necessary to remove climbing plants from the wall, the user can start the motor C406, which will drive the robotic arm A202, which is fixedly connected to its output shaft, to rotate. This allows adjustment of the height of the robotic arm B203. Simultaneously, the hydraulic rod 204 helps to slowly rotate the robotic arm A202 to prevent damage to the motor C406. The user can then start the motor B405, which will drive the cutter head 207 at its end to rotate, thereby adjusting the height of the robotic arm B203 and robotic arm A202. 2. The height of the cutter head 207 is adjusted by coordinating the two parts so that the cutter head 207 can work at a higher position. During this process, the user can activate the electric telescopic rod 205, which can extend or shorten to drive the connecting plate 206 to rotate around the connection point with the robotic arm B203 until the cutter head 207 is in contact with the wall. At this time, the user can activate the cutting motor 208 to make the cutter head 207 rotate at high speed, so that the cutter head 207 can clean the climbing plants on the wall while in contact with the wall.

[0023] Specifically, the cutter head 207 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the cutting motor 208, the mechanical arm B203 is fixedly connected to the connection between the mechanical arm B203 and the mechanical arm A202, the output shaft of the motor B405 is fixedly connected to the mechanical arm A202, the slider 201 is fixedly connected to the motor C406, and the output shaft of the motor C406 is fixedly connected to the mechanical arm A202.

[0024] Specifically, the housing 101 is provided with an adjustment assembly for adjusting the height of the slider 201. The adjustment assembly includes a steel cable A303. One end of the steel cable A303 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper end of the frame 209. The frame 209 is vertically fixedly connected to the upper surface of the housing 101. Two pulleys 302 are symmetrically rotated on the other side of the upper end of the frame 209. The other end of the steel cable A303 passes under the slider 201 and overlaps the two pulleys 302 in sequence, and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of any motor 401.

[0025] In the above embodiment, when the cutter head 207 starts cleaning the wall, the user can start the motor 401 connected to the steel cable A303. Since the slider 201 is at the bottom of the frame 209 in the initial stage and its lower surface is pressed against the steel cable A303, when the motor 401 starts, it begins to wind the steel cable A303. Under the guidance of the two pulleys 302, the steel cable A303 pulls the bracket 301 to rise at a uniform speed. That is, when the cutter head 207 rotates and cuts the plants on the wall, it can rise slowly and at a uniform speed to increase the cleaning range of the cutter head 207.

[0026] Specifically, the adjustment assembly also includes a bracket 301, which is horizontally fixedly connected to the frame 209. A fixed pulley 305 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the bracket 301. A movable pulley 306 is provided below the fixed pulley 305. A steel cable B304 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the bracket 301. The other end of the steel cable B304 passes through the movable pulley 306 and the fixed pulley 305 in sequence and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of another motor 401.

[0027] Specifically, the movable pulley 306 is slidably mounted on the frame 209, and a lead screw 307 is rotatably connected to the frame 209. The movable pulley 306 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 307, and the slider 201 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 307. The slider 201 is vertically slidably mounted on the frame 209, and both motors 401 are fixedly connected to the housing 101.

[0028] In the above embodiment, when it is necessary to lower the slider 201, the user can start the motor 401 connected to the steel cable B304. At this time, under the guidance of the fixed pulley 305, the movable pulley 306 can start to rise at a constant speed along its connection with the frame 209. Since the lead screw 307 is a lead screw without a self-locking effect, when the movable pulley 306 slides, it can drive the lead screw 307 threaded to it to rotate at a constant speed, thereby driving the slider 201 threaded to it to start to fall at a constant speed. That is, at this time, the cutter head 207 can fall at a constant speed. When the user starts the motor 401 connected to the steel cable A303 again, the slider 201 can slide upward and drive the lead screw 307 threaded to it to rotate in the opposite direction. That is, at this time, the movable pulley 306 can start to slide downward and reset. In other words, the slider 201 can rise or fall through the cooperation of the steel cable A303 and the steel cable B304.

[0029] Specifically, the housing 101 is provided with a cleaning assembly for collecting plant debris on the ground. The cleaning assembly includes a brush cylinder 403 and a negative pressure assembly. The brush cylinder 403 is located at the end of the housing 101 and is rotatably connected to the housing 101. A motor A404 for driving the brush cylinder 403 is fixedly connected to the housing 101 and is fixedly connected to the housing 101. The negative pressure component is used to guide the plant debris.

[0030] Specifically, the negative pressure component includes a shovel plate 402, which is obliquely fixed at the end of the housing 101, and the end of the shovel plate 402 away from the housing 101 is horizontally attached to the ground and is in the same vertical plane as the central axis of the brush cylinder 403.

[0031] Specifically, the negative pressure component also includes a collection chamber 309, which is fixedly connected to the end of the housing 101 and communicates with the shovel plate 402. A fan 308 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the collection chamber 309, and the air outlet of the fan 308 is inserted into the inner wall of the collection chamber 309.

[0032] In the above embodiment, during the process of the blade 207 rotating and cleaning the wall, the plants it cuts fall to the ground at the end of the housing 101. At this time, the user can start the motor A404 to drive the brush cylinder 403 fixedly connected to it to start rotating. Then, through the rotation of the brush cylinder 403, the plants on the ground are swept into the shovel plate 402. During this process, the user should start the fan 308, and then use the suction generated by the fan 308 to suck the plants on the shovel plate 402 into the collection chamber 309 for storage, thereby avoiding the plants from accumulating on the ground after cleaning and affecting the movement of the housing 101.

[0033] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. 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 process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0034] The term "fixed connection" as used in this application refers to a connection in which parts or components are fixed without any relative movement. This includes both detachable and non-detachable connections.

[0035] (1) Detachable connection: Components are fixed together using screws, splines, wedges, etc. This type of connection allows for disassembly during maintenance without damaging the parts. However, the specifications of the connectors used must be correct. (Such as the length of bolts, keys, and wedges), and tighten them properly.

[0036] (2) Non-removable connections: These mainly refer to welding, riveting, and tenon joints. Since disassembly requires forging, sawing, or oxy-acetylene cutting for repair or replacement, these parts generally cannot be reused. Furthermore, during connection, [the following should be noted]: Pay attention to process quality, technical testing, and remedial measures (such as correction, polishing, etc.).

[0037] The sliding connection referred to in this application means that the component can slide along a linear trajectory, and the hinge referred to in this application means that the component can rotate along an axial constraint.

[0038] In some cases, the sliding connection and hinge referred to in this application may also be damped, enabling the component to maintain in the desired position.

[0039] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
