Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of seaweed planting equipment technology, specifically to an intelligent seaweed planting machine. Background Technology

[0002] As one of the three major typical nearshore marine ecosystems in the world, along with mangroves and coral reefs, grass beds play an irreplaceable and important role in stabilizing seabed sediment, purifying seawater quality, strengthening coastal protection, and storing marine carbon sinks. At the same time, they can also provide habitats, foraging grounds, and breeding grounds for thousands of fish and invertebrate species, making them one of the core carriers for maintaining marine ecological balance and promoting the sustainable development of fisheries.

[0003] Currently, seagrass cultivation along my country's southeastern coast still relies primarily on traditional manual methods. The core process involves manually stuffing seagrass seedlings one by one into ropes before releasing them into designated sea areas for planting. However, manual planting is extremely labor-intensive. Operators must work for extended periods in muddy and damp areas such as the intertidal zone and shallow seas, repeatedly bending over to stuff the seedlings, which easily leads to physical strain and is inefficient. A single operator can only plant a limited number of seedlings per day, failing to meet the needs of large-scale seagrass bed restoration. Furthermore, seagrass has a strong, pungent fishy smell, and combined with natural factors such as sea waves and intense sunlight, the working environment is harsh, severely impacting the health and comfort of the operators.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an intelligent seaweed planting machine to address the aforementioned technical issues. Summary of the Invention

[0010] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the rotary feeding mechanism includes a third servo motor, the output end of which is connected to a second drive shaft.

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an intelligent seaweed planting machine according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a frame, on which are provided a rope feeding mechanism 1, a rotating rope opening mechanism 2, a rope pressing mechanism 3, a rotating material pushing mechanism 4, an upper and lower clamping and feeding mechanism 5, and an electrical control system 6. The mechanisms work together to complete a fully automated process from rope conveying, rope opening, seaweed sorting and conveying to seaweed pushing into the rope.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the rope feeding mechanism 1 is used for positioning, straightening, and tensioning the rope. Specifically, the rope feeding mechanism 1 includes a connecting plate 7 fixedly installed on the frame. The connecting plate 7 securely installs the rope feeding mechanism 1 in a preset position on the frame, ensuring that the rope feeding mechanism 1 does not shift during operation. To achieve rope straightening, positioning, and tensioning, an installation plate 8 is provided at the feeding end of the rope feeding mechanism 1. The installation plate 8 integrates a positioning wheel assembly 9 and multiple sets of pressure wheel assemblies 10. The installation position of the positioning wheel assembly 9 is consistent with the rope hanging position of the subsequent rotating rope opening mechanism 2, ensuring that the rope can accurately connect to the subsequent rope hanging position after being output from the positioning wheel assembly 9, avoiding rope deviation. The multiple sets of pressure wheel assemblies 10 all adopt an up-and-down adjustable structure, which can flexibly adjust the distance between the upper and lower pressure wheels according to the thickness and elasticity of the rope, thereby pressing the rope tightly and preventing the rope from loosening or slipping during transportation, ensuring the stability and continuity of rope transportation.

[0020] In actual operation, the coiled rope is unrolled, first passed through multiple sets of pressure roller assemblies 10, and then positioned and guided by positioning roller assembly 9. By adjusting the vertical spacing of the pressure roller assembly 10, the rope is brought into a taut state, completing the preparation work before rope feeding.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the core function of the rotating rope-opening mechanism 2 is to partially open and close the rope, providing an opening for pushing seaweed in. Specifically, the rotating rope-opening mechanism 2 is powered by a first servo motor 11. The output end of the first servo motor 11 is directly connected to the first drive shaft 13 via a flexible coupling 12. The flexible coupling 12 can effectively buffer the impact force when the motor starts and stops, protecting the motor and drive shaft, while ensuring the smoothness of power transmission. Two first sprockets 14 are fixedly installed on the first drive shaft 13, and two first driven shafts 15 are correspondingly set. A second sprocket 16 is fixedly installed on each first driven shaft 15. The first sprockets 14 and the corresponding second sprockets 16 are connected by a first chain 26, forming two sets of symmetrical chain drive structures to ensure the synchronicity of power transmission.

[0022] A slide bar is fixedly installed on the first chain 26. A first slider 19 and a second slider 20 are slidably mounted on the slide bar. The first slider 19 and the second slider 20 can slide freely along the length of the slide bar. A first needle 21 is fixedly installed on the first slider 19, and a second needle 22 is fixedly installed on the second slider 20. The tips of the first needle 21 and the second needle 22 are arranged opposite each other. When the first slider 19 and the second slider 20 approach each other, the first needle 21 and the second needle 22 close. When they move away from each other, the first needle 21 and the second needle 22 open, thereby realizing the partial opening and closing of the rope.

[0023] To achieve the reciprocating opening and closing motion of the first slider 19 and the second slider 20, a first track assembly 17 and a second track assembly 18 are correspondingly arranged on the frame. A first cam bearing 27 is installed on the first slider 19, and the first cam bearing 27 is embedded in the track of the first track assembly 17, allowing it to slide along the track. A first cam bearing 27 is also installed on the second slider 20, and this first cam bearing 27 is embedded in the track of the second track assembly 18, allowing it to slide along the track. When the first servo motor 11 is started, it drives the first drive shaft 13 to rotate through the elastic coupling 12. The first drive shaft 13 drives the first chain 26 to rotate cyclically through the first sprocket 14 and the second sprocket 16. The first chain 26 drives the slide bar to move synchronously. Under the cooperation of the first cam bearing 27 and the corresponding track assembly, the first slider 19 and the second slider 20 on the slide bar perform reciprocating opening and closing motions along the slide bar, thereby driving the opening and closing of the first needle 21 and the second needle 22.

[0024] To address the issue of rope detachment during attachment, this embodiment incorporates a rope-pressing mechanism 3 to assist in securing the rope. The rope-pressing mechanism 3 includes a second servo motor 29 and a rope-pressing wheel 28. The second servo motor 29 is fixedly mounted on the frame, and its output end is connected to the rope-pressing wheel 28 to drive its rotation. The PLC in the electrical control system 6 is electrically connected to the second servo motor 29, controlling its rotational speed to ensure that the rotational speed of the rope-pressing wheel 28 matches the movement speed of the first chain 26, thus ensuring synchronized rope-pressing and rope-opening actions. When the first slider 19 and the second slider 20 move to their intermediate positions, and the first needle 21 and the second needle 22 are in a semi-open state, the rope-pressing wheel 28 rotates, pressing the rope attached to the needle downwards into the bottom of the first needle 21 and the rotating rope-opening mechanism 2. This prevents the rope from failing to adhere to the bottom of the needle due to its elasticity and toughness, which could lead to detachment when the needle opens, thus ensuring the stability of the rope-opening process.

[0025] Before operation, the rope fed by the rope feeding mechanism 1 is manually attached between the first needle 21 and the second needle 22 in the closed state. After the equipment is started, the first servo motor 11 drives the first chain 26 to rotate, which drives the first slider 19 and the second slider 20 to move along the track to realize the opening and closing of the needle. When the needle moves to the middle position, the second servo motor 29 drives the rope pressing wheel 28 to rotate, pressing the rope into the bottom of the needle. Then the needle continues to move to the fully open state, so that the rope partially forms an opening, waiting for the seaweed to be pushed in.

[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 10 As shown, the rotary pushing mechanism 4 is used to precisely push the prepared seaweed into the rope opening opened by the rotary rope opening mechanism 2. Specifically, The rotary feeding mechanism 4 is powered by the third servo motor 31. The output end of the third servo motor 31 is connected to the second drive shaft 33 through a coupling. The third sprocket 32 ​​is fixedly installed on the second drive shaft 33, and the second passive shaft 34 is correspondingly set. The fourth sprocket 35 is fixedly installed on the second passive shaft 34. The third sprocket 32 ​​and the fourth sprocket 35 are connected by a second chain 36 to form a chain drive structure, so as to realize the smooth transmission of power.

[0027] A connecting rod is fixedly installed on the second chain 36, and the connecting rod rotates cyclically within the chain track along with the second chain 36. The rotating pusher mechanism 4 also includes a guide rail 37, a fourth slider 38, a second cam bearing 39, and a push rod 40. The fourth slider 38 is fixedly installed on the connecting rod of the second chain 36, and the second cam bearing 39 is installed on the fourth slider 38. The second cam bearing 39 is embedded in the track of the guide rail 37 and can slide along the guide rail 37. The push rod 40 is fixedly installed on the fourth slider 38, and the end of the push rod 40 is aligned with the rope opening position of the rotating rope opening mechanism 2.

[0028] When the third servo motor 31 starts, it drives the second drive shaft 33 to rotate through the coupling. The second drive shaft 33 drives the second chain 36 to rotate cyclically through the third sprocket 32 ​​and the fourth sprocket 35. The second chain 36 drives the connecting rod to move synchronously. The fourth slider 38, under the cooperation of the second cam bearing 39 and the guide rail 37, moves reciprocally along the guide rail 37, thereby driving the push rod 40 to move reciprocally in a linear motion. When the rotating rope opening mechanism 2 opens the rope to form an opening, the push rod 40 moves forward and accurately pushes the seaweed to be implanted into the rope opening, completing the seaweed implantation action. Then the push rod 40 returns to its original position, waiting for the next pushing action, realizing the automated cycle of the pushing process.

[0029] like Figures 9 to 11As shown, because fresh seaweed is fluffy, and the opening of the rope opened by the rotating rope-opening mechanism 2 is relatively small, directly pushing the fluffy seaweed can easily cause jamming and uneven feeding. Therefore, an upper and lower clamping feeding mechanism 5 is set up to organize the fluffy seaweed, making its density moderate, so that it can be smoothly pushed into the rope opening. Specifically, The upper and lower clamping feeding mechanism 5 also includes a fourth servo motor 41, a fifth servo motor 46, a first belt 42, a second belt 43, a first adjustable bracket 44, and a second adjustable bracket 45. The first belt 42 and the second belt 43 are arranged opposite each other to form a clamping channel. The feeding end of the clamping channel corresponds to the seaweed feeding station, and the discharging end is aligned with the rope opening position of the rotating rope opening mechanism 2 to ensure that the seaweed can be accurately connected to the rope opening after being clamped and sorted.

[0030] The fourth servo motor 41 is connected to the first belt 42 and drives the first belt 42 to rotate clockwise; the fifth servo motor 46 is connected to the second belt 43 and drives the second belt 43 to rotate counterclockwise. The first belt 42 and the second belt 43 rotate in opposite directions, forming relative motion, thereby achieving the clamping and conveying of seaweed. The first adjustable bracket 44 is used to install the first belt 42 and the fourth servo motor 41, and the second adjustable bracket 45 is used to install the second belt 43 and the fifth servo motor 46. Both the first adjustable bracket 44 and the second adjustable bracket 45 are provided with slotted mounting holes. By adjusting the position of the fasteners in the slotted mounting holes, the distance between the first belt 42 and the second belt 43 can be flexibly adjusted.

[0031] In actual operation, the distance between the first belt 42 and the second belt 43 is adjusted according to the fluffiness of the fresh seaweed through the first adjustable bracket 44 and the second adjustable bracket 45. This ensures that the distance is sufficient to compress the fluffy seaweed to a suitable compactness, without compressing it too tightly and damaging it, or compressing it too loosely and preventing it from being pushed smoothly, while also ensuring that the seaweed can pass smoothly through the clamping channel. The fourth servo motor 41 and the fifth servo motor 46 are started, causing the first belt 42 to rotate clockwise and the second belt 43 to rotate counterclockwise. The fresh seaweed is placed into the clamping channel. Under the relative clamping action of the two belts, the seaweed is conveyed forward while being sorted and compacted. After being sorted, the seaweed is output from the discharge end of the clamping channel and accurately delivered to the rope opening of the rotating rope opening mechanism 2, where it awaits the rotating pushing mechanism 4 to push it into the rope.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 11As shown, the electrical control system 6 serves as the core control unit of the entire automatic seaweed planting machine, coordinating the movement of various mechanisms to achieve fully automated control of the entire process. The electrical control system 6 includes a controller, which uses a Xinje brand PLC as its control core, paired with a touchscreen for human-machine interaction. The PLC is electrically connected to the first servo motor 11, the second servo motor 29, the third servo motor 31, the fourth servo motor 41, and the fifth servo motor 46, respectively. Through a preset control program, it precisely controls the start, stop, speed, and direction of each servo motor, thereby achieving coordinated synchronization of various actions such as rope feeding, rope opening, rope pressing, material feeding, and material pushing.

[0033] The touchscreen features a parameter adjustment interface, start and stop buttons, and a fault alarm interface. Operators can set the operating parameters of each mechanism, such as servo motor speed, belt spacing, and feeding frequency, and monitor the equipment's operating status in real time. When a fault occurs, such as rope slippage or seaweed jamming, the PLC will trigger a fault alarm, and the touchscreen will display the fault type and handling prompts, facilitating timely troubleshooting by operators and ensuring stable equipment operation.

[0034] In use, the rolled rope is unrolled and sequentially positioned by the positioning wheel assembly 9 and tensioned by multiple pressure wheel assemblies 10, before the free end of the rope is fed into the rope feeding mechanism 1. The operating parameters of each mechanism are set via the touchscreen, and the connections of each component are checked to ensure proper equipment operation. Upon starting the equipment, the rope feeding mechanism 1 continuously feeds the rope to the rotary rope opening mechanism 2. The first servo motor 11 drives the first chain 26 to rotate, causing the first slider 19, the second slider 20, and the needles to move, thus opening and closing the needles. When the needles reach the middle position, the second servo motor 29 drives the rope pressing wheel 28 to rotate, pressing the rope into the bottom of the needles to prevent it from coming off. Subsequently, the needles fully open, creating a partial opening in the rope. Fresh seaweed is placed into the clamping channel of the upper and lower clamping feeding mechanism 5. The fourth servo motor 41 and the fifth servo motor 46 drive two belts to rotate relative to each other, compacting and shaping the seaweed before conveying it to the rope opening of the rotary rope opening mechanism 2. The third servo motor 31 of the rotating pushing mechanism 4 drives the push rod 40 to move forward, precisely pushing the sorted seaweed into the rope opening; then the needle of the rotating rope opening mechanism 2 closes, releasing the rope and completing the planting of a single seaweed; at the same time, the rope feeding mechanism 1 drives the rope forward a distance to prepare for the next rope opening and planting.

[0035] The equipment operates continuously in a cycle according to the above steps, realizing the continuous and automated planting of seaweed. Operators only need to replenish the ropes and seaweed periodically and monitor the equipment's operating status.

[0036] Obviously, the above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
