Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, and in particular to a hay rake and drying device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional hay rakes experience significant impact when the rake teeth come into contact with the soil during field operations, which can easily cause deformation or damage to the teeth, affecting the equipment's lifespan and operational efficiency. Furthermore, the rake process generates a large amount of dust, obstructing the operator's view and the environment. Additionally, the rake hay can easily fly around or become tangled on different parts of the equipment, causing knots and hindering smooth operation. Traditional equipment also struggles to quickly adjust to varying work width requirements. Therefore, this project was developed to address these issues through in-depth research. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by designing a hay rake and drying device. This invention addresses the issues of existing traditional hay rakes, where the rake teeth are subjected to significant impact force upon instantaneous contact with the soil surface, easily leading to deformation or damage of the teeth, affecting the equipment's lifespan and operational efficiency. Furthermore, the rake operation generates a large amount of dust, obstructing the operator's view and the environment. Additionally, the raked hay tends to fly erratically or become tangled on different parts of the equipment, causing knots and affecting operational smoothness.

[0006] The hydraulic telescopic cylinder is installed at the top of the gantry support and connected to the hydraulic oil tank. The unfolding support frame is hinged to the gantry and connected to the drive end of the hydraulic telescopic cylinder. The mounting base is installed at the bottom of the gantry. Both of the moving wheels are installed inside the mounting base through bearings. The hay-raking support frame is fixedly connected to the unfolding support frame. The center of the driving disc is movably installed on the right side of the hay-raking support frame through a bearing. The center of the driven disc is movably installed on the left side of the hay-raking support frame through a bearing. The two ends of the four transmission connecting rods are eccentrically connected to the driving disc and the driven disc, respectively. The hay-discharging assembly is connected to the hay-raking support frame.

[0007] Preferably, each of the four hay-raking buffer protection structures includes: a mounting frame, a buffer movable groove, a pair of first buffer connecting rods, a pair of buffer springs, a pair of guide limiting blocks, a pair of second buffer connecting rods, a hay-raking bracket, and several hay-raking spring teeth;

[0008] The mounting bracket is installed on the front side of the transmission connecting rod. The buffer movable groove is opened at the bottom end of the mounting bracket.

[0031] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, such as... Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a hay rake and drying device is used.

[0032] Example: A hay rake and drying device includes a gantry frame 1, a hydraulic oil tank 2 installed at the center of the top of the gantry frame 1, a pair of actuators installed at the left and right ends of the gantry frame 1, and four hay rake buffer protection structures installed on each pair of actuators. A suspension traction structure is connected to the front of the gantry frame 1.

[0033] Each pair of actuators includes: a hydraulic telescopic cylinder 3, an unfolding support frame 4, a mounting base 5, two moving wheels 6, a hay-raking support frame 7, an active disc 8, a driven disc 9, four transmission connecting rods 10, and a hay-raking assembly;

[0034] The hydraulic telescopic cylinder 3 is installed at the top of the gantry support and connected to the hydraulic oil tank 2. The unfolding support frame 4 is hinged to the gantry frame 1 and connected to the drive end of the hydraulic telescopic cylinder 3. The mounting base 5 is installed at the bottom of the gantry frame 1. Both moving wheels 6 are installed inside the mounting base 5 through bearings. The hay-raking support frame 7 is fixedly connected to the unfolding support frame 4. The center of the driving disc 8 is movably installed on the right side of the hay-raking support frame 7 through bearings. The center of the driven disc 9 is movably installed on the left side of the hay-raking support frame 7 through bearings. The two ends of the four transmission connecting rods 10 are eccentrically connected to the driving disc 8 and the driven disc 9, respectively. The hay-discharging assembly is connected to the hay-raking support frame 7.

[0035] It should be noted that before using this equipment, the corresponding external power machinery needs to be connected to the suspension traction structure of this equipment to provide traction and power output, enabling the equipment to perform hay raking operations. The movable wheels 6 allow the equipment to move in conjunction with the external power machinery. Furthermore, under the drive of the external power, the hydraulic telescopic cylinder 3 can adjust the angle between the unfolding support frames 4 installed at both ends of the gantry frame 1 to accommodate hay raking operations of varying widths. While the external power machinery is tractioning this equipment forward, it simultaneously drives the active disc 8 and the driven disc 9 to rotate. With the four transmission connecting rods 10 eccentrically installed between the active plate 8 and the driven plate 9, the rotational motion of the active plate 8 and the driven plate 9 is converted into linear reciprocating motion, realizing the sequential up-and-down reciprocating motion of the four transmission connecting rods 10, and driving the hay-raking buffer protection structure to work, and performing hay-raking operations in the working environment. At the same time, compared with traditional hay-raking equipment, the hay-raking component can partially block the dust generated during the hay-raking process, preventing a large amount of dust, and ensuring that the hay can be smoothly and centrally collected after passing through the hay-raking component, preventing the hay from flying around due to the raking action, and preventing the hay from getting tangled and knotted in the equipment.

[0036] Specifically, each of the four hay-raking buffer protection structures includes: a mounting frame 11, a buffer movable groove 12, a pair of first buffer connecting rods 13, a pair of buffer springs 14, a pair of guide limit blocks 15, a pair of second buffer connecting rods 16, a hay-raking bracket 17, and several hay-raking spring teeth 18.

[0037] Mounting bracket 11 is installed on the front side of transmission connecting rod 10. Buffer movable groove 12 is opened at the bottom end of mounting bracket 11. A pair of first buffer connecting rods 13 are movably embedded in the left and right side walls of mounting bracket 11. A pair of buffer springs 14 are respectively fitted onto the pair of first buffer connecting rods 13. A pair of guide limiting blocks 15 are respectively installed on the left and right sides inside mounting bracket 11 and respectively fitted onto the pair of first buffer connecting rods 13. A pair of second buffer connecting rods 16 are respectively hinged to the pair of first buffer connecting rods 13. Rake support 17 is movably embedded in mounting bracket 11 through buffer groove, and its top two sides are respectively connected to the pair of second buffer connecting rods 16. Several rake spring teeth 18 are arrayed and installed at the bottom end of rake support 17.

[0038] It should be noted that traditional raking twigs can deform and be damaged due to the instantaneous force of contact with the soil surface when raking hay. In this device, the mounting frame 11 and transmission connecting rod 10 are installed together. Driven by the rotation of the driving disc 8 and driven disc 9, the transmission connecting rod 10 can reciprocate up and down, driving the mounting frame 11 to move in tandem, causing the raking twigs 18 to contact the soil surface. During this contact, when the raking twigs 18 experience instantaneous contact with the soil surface, the buffer spring 14 absorbs the force of the instantaneous contact, causing the raking support 17 to retract within the buffer groove 12 of the mounting frame 11, thereby protecting the raking twigs. 18. After the force generated by the instantaneous contact is absorbed, the rake tooth 18 remains in working condition. At this time, it can continue to rake the grass on the soil surface under the continued drive of the active disc 8 and the driven disc 9. When the rake tooth 18 finishes the current rake work and leaves the ground soil working environment, the buffer spring 14 continues to provide the rebound force. Under the connection of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod, the rake support frame 7 leaves the buffer movable groove 12 and expands outward to support it. This makes the buffer movable groove 12 empty, providing a buffer foundation for the next rake operation. It waits for the next reciprocating motion to drive the rake tooth 18 to work and can continue to perform the buffering and energy absorption function.

[0039] Specifically, the suspension traction structure includes: adapter bracket 19, suspension frame 20, and steering coupling 21;

[0040] The adapter bracket 19 is installed on the front side of the gantry frame 1, the suspension frame 20 is connected to the adapter bracket 19, and the steering connector 21 is hinged to the suspension frame 20 through a rotating shaft.

[0041] It should be noted that this equipment can be connected to an external power machine via the steering connector 21 to obtain a power source. It can also be connected to the gantry 1 via the suspension frame 20 and the adapter bracket 19 to provide connection rigidity for the equipment. The steering connector 21 can provide a maximum steering angle of 120 degrees when the external power machine is traction-driven, so that the equipment can provide the necessary basic conditions for turning in narrow spaces during operation.

[0042] Specifically, the grass removal assembly includes: a fixed connecting plate 22, an upper baffle 23, and a side baffle grass removal plate 24;

[0043] The fixed connecting plate 22 is installed on the top of the hay rake support frame 7, the upper baffle 23 is installed on the top of the fixed connecting plate 22, and the side baffle hay rake plate 24 is connected to the upper baffle 23.

[0044] It should be noted that the hay-clearing assembly is installed on the outside of the hay-raking support frame 7, which can cover the hay-raking buffer protection structure. When the hay-raking tines 18 are raking, the upper baffle 23 can block the dust generated during the hay-raking operation above it, effectively preventing the dust from continuing to fly upward. The side baffle hay-clearing plate 24 can block the dust on the working surface of the hay-raking tines 18 over a large area, preventing the dust from moving forward and affecting the working vision of the power traction source in front. It can also concentrate and guide the hay raked by the hay-raking tines 18, while preventing the hay being raked from getting tangled in different layers of the hay-raking tines 18 during the flying process, thus improving the hay-raking effect.

[0045] Specifically, both the active disk 8 and the driven disk 9 have a diameter of 1050mm. The large size of the active disk 8 and the driven disk 9 allows for a larger reciprocating motion space when the mounting frame 11 drives the hay rake teeth 18 to reciprocate, thus avoiding interference between the hay rake teeth 18 of each layer.

[0046] Specifically, a limit stop 25 is installed at the movable end of the first buffer connecting rod 13 to prevent the first buffer connecting rod 13 from over-displacement within the mounting frame 11 when the buffer spring 14 provides buffer protection, thereby avoiding damage to the straw-raking buffer protection structure.

[0047] Specifically, a reinforcing connecting plate 26 is provided at the connection between the adapter bracket 19 and the suspension bracket 20 to increase the rigid connection and provide rigid strength during operation, thereby increasing the service life of the equipment.

[0048] Specifically, a support rod 27 is installed at the bottom of the suspension frame 20. When the equipment is not in use, after being disconnected from the external power machinery, the equipment can be supported and placed by the support rod 27, so that the equipment is in a balanced position.

[0049] Specifically, a support plate 28 is installed at the bottom of the support rod 27, which, together with the support rod 27, can provide a large area of ​​ground contact for the equipment and provide stable support for the equipment.

[0050] Specifically, the upper baffle 23 and the side baffle grass discharge plate 24 are both made of stainless steel, which increases the service life and prevents the equipment from being corroded and damaged by the humid environment.

[0051] The above technical solutions only embody the preferred technical solutions of the present invention. Any modifications that may be made by those skilled in the art to certain parts thereof embody the principles of the present invention and fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
