Detailed Implementation

[0019] 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.

[0020] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rope-type bamboo transportation equipment and method to solve the problems existing in the prior art, improve transportation efficiency, realize large-scale bamboo transportation, and flexibly adjust according to changes in bamboo harvesting areas, making it suitable for bamboo forests with scattered planting.

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Example 1 This embodiment provides a rope-type bamboo transport equipment, such as... Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the device includes a support device 3, a mobile circulating drive device 1, a rope 4, and a bamboo hanging assembly 5. Multiple support devices 3 are spaced apart along the circulating transport path. The mobile circulating drive device 1 is movable and includes a roller assembly. Each support device 3 is provided with a wheel groove. The rope 4 passes through the wheel grooves of multiple support devices 3 and is wound around the roller assembly to form a closed circulating transport loop. The rotation of the roller assembly can drive the rope 4 to run along the circulating transport loop. Multiple bamboo hanging assemblies 5 for hanging bamboo are spaced apart on the rope 4.

[0023] It should be noted that before carrying out bamboo rope transportation operations, the planning and selection of the bamboo collection site and the circular transportation path of rope 4 must be completed first. The circular transportation path of rope 4 needs to connect the harvesting area and the storage area. The mobile circular drive device 1 is moved to the storage area. The circular transportation path includes a first path and a second path, and multiple support devices 3 are set at intervals on the first path and the second path. The starting position of rope 4 is located in the harvesting area, and rope 4 passes through the wheel grooves of multiple support devices 3 along the first path from the starting position, then winds around the roller assembly, and then returns to the starting position along the second path through the wheel grooves of multiple support devices 3, thereby forming a closed circular transportation loop. The rotation of the roller assembly drives rope 4 and the bamboo hanging assembly 5 on it to run along the circular transportation loop. Thus, the present invention can realize large-scale bamboo transportation and improve transportation efficiency. In addition, the mobile circular drive device 1 is movable as a whole, and its position can be flexibly adjusted according to the changes in the bamboo harvesting area. It can flexibly adapt to muddy, steep, and undulating terrain, solving the problem of the rigidity of traditional cableway paths and its inability to adapt to changes in bamboo harvesting areas.

[0024] In some implementations, such as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the support device 3 includes a support rod 6, a locking buckle 31, a telescopic bracket 36, an angle adjustment bracket 39, a support wheel 32, and a tension wheel 33. The locking buckle 31 is sleeved on the support rod 6 and locked and fixed to the support rod 6. One end of the telescopic bracket 36 is connected to the locking buckle 31, and the other end is hinged to the angle adjustment bracket 39. The angle adjustment bracket 39 is provided with a support wheel 32 and a tension wheel 33. The outer periphery of the support wheel 32 and the tension wheel 33 are provided with wheel grooves, and there is a gap between the support wheel 32 and the tension wheel 33 for the bamboo hanging assembly 5 to pass through.

[0025] It should be noted that the support rod 6 of the present invention can be a bamboo pole, and the locking buckle 31 has a tooth structure and is rigidly clamped to the support rod 6 through the tooth structure, providing a fixed support point for all subsequent components; the telescopic bracket 36 is hinged to the angle adjustment bracket 39 to achieve flexible angle adjustment; the support wheel 32 and the tension wheel 33 are set on both sides of the rope 4, and the rope 4 is tensioned by adjusting the position of the tension wheel 33, and the rope 4 drives the bamboo hanging assembly 5 to pass through the gap between the support wheel 32 and the tension wheel 33.

[0026] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6As shown, the mobile circulating drive device 1 also includes a tracked chassis 10 and a support frame 13. The support frame 13 is disposed on the tracked chassis 10. The roller assembly includes a drive roller 115 and a driven roller 117 rotatably connected to the support frame 13. The drive roller 115 and the driven roller 117 are connected in a transmission connection to drive the driven roller 117 to rotate synchronously. Both the drive roller 115 and the driven roller 117 are provided with multiple turns of rope grooves spaced apart along the axial direction. The rope 4 is alternately wound around the rope groove on the drive roller 115 and the rope groove on the driven roller 117.

[0027] It should be noted that the mobile circulating drive device 1 of the present invention is the main equipment, used to drive the rope 4 to transport bamboo down the mountain. The tracked chassis 10 is used to drive the whole to move and adjust its position. The rope 4 can be a steel wire rope. By alternately winding the rope 4 around the rope groove of the drive roller 115 and the driven roller 117, the rope 4 is driven to circulate when the drive roller 115 and the driven roller 117 rotate synchronously. This can prevent the rope 4 from slipping and moving laterally, and achieve stable circulating operation.

[0028] In some implementations, such as Figure 11 As shown, the bamboo hanging assembly 5 includes an upper connecting rod 51, an automatic release assembly 52, and a lower connecting rod 53. The top end of the upper connecting rod 51 is connected to the rope 4 via a first connector, and the bottom end of the upper connecting rod 51 is provided with a second connector. The automatic release assembly 52 includes two hinged rods 521, two locking clamp arms 522, and an elastic element 523. The top ends of the two hinged rods 521 are hinged to the second connector, and the two locking clamp arms 522 are arranged crosswise and hinged in the middle. The top ends of the two locking clamp arms 522 are respectively hinged to the bottom ends of the two hinged rods 521, and the bottom ends of the two locking clamp arms 522 are hooks. One end of the elastic element 523 is connected to the second connector, and the other end is connected to the middle hinge shaft of the two locking clamp arms 522. The top end of the lower connecting rod 53 is provided with a third connector. In the first state, the two hooks can be locked with the third connector. In the second state, the elastic element 523 can drive the two hooks to disengage from the third connector.

[0029] It should be noted that the first connecting member of the present invention is a stop head 54, and the upper connecting rod 51 is fixedly connected to the bearing steel wire rope through the stop head 54. The stop head 54 and the upper connecting rod 51 are fixedly connected to form the upper suspension support structure of the device; the second connecting member is a D-type shackle 55, and the bottom end of the upper connecting rod 51 is fixedly connected to the D-type shackle 55. The D-type shackle 55 and the top of the automatic unhooking assembly 52 are hinged, allowing the automatic unhooking assembly 52 to adjust its angle according to the material posture; the third connecting member is a locking ring 56, and the hook of the automatic unhooking assembly 52 is locked or disengaged from the locking ring 56 to realize the locking and disengaging actions under load; in the first state, after the two hooks are closed, the wool is hung. Under the influence of the bamboo's gravity and friction, the two hooks remain closed, connecting with the locking ring 56, and the elastic element 523 is in a stretched state. In the second state, the bamboo is supported by a force, reducing the weight of the bamboo on the two hooks. When this weight is sufficiently small, the elastic restoring force of the elastic element 523 can cause the two hooks to open at a certain angle, thus disengaging from the locking ring 56. The elastic element 523 can be a tension spring, which can maintain the two hooks at a certain angle under the action of the elastic element 523 in the second state or in its natural state. The bottom of the lower connecting rod 53 is hooked to the bamboo and is the direct point of application of gravity.

[0030] In some implementations, such as Figure 10 As shown, it also includes a guide unloading component 2; the guide unloading component 2 includes a guide groove 24 and a triggering device 23. One end of the guide groove 24 is an inlet and the triggering device 23 is provided inside the guide groove 24. The guide groove 24 is inclined upward from the inlet to the other end; the bamboo on the bamboo hanging component 5 can enter the guide groove 24 from the inlet; the guide groove 24 supports the bamboo so that the bamboo hanging component 5 is in the second state, and the bamboo can squeeze the triggering device 23 and slide down the guide groove 24 to the unloading position.

[0031] It should be noted that the guide unloading assembly 2 also includes a base 21 and support legs 22. The bottom of the support legs 22 is integrally welded or bolted to the base 21. The base 21 is rigidly connected to the ground at the unloading point through pre-embedded anchor bolts, providing a stable load-bearing foundation for the entire device and preventing displacement during operation. The guide groove 24, serving as a channel for material sliding, is mounted on top of multiple support legs 22 and is fixed by welding to form an inclined groove structure. The support legs 22 are evenly distributed to ensure that the guide groove 24 is evenly stressed and slides smoothly. The trigger device 23 integrates a spring assembly with an elastic movable end, installed on the inner side of the end of the guide groove 24. The trigger device 23 remains in a standby state when there is no external force. When subjected to external force, the trigger device 23 triggers the locking mechanism of the automatic unhooking assembly 52 through mechanical linkage to unlock, thus unlocking the lock. The ring 56 separates from the automatic unhooking assembly 52. ​​Understandably, the mounting point of the bamboo is close to its front end. As the bamboo slides along the inclined guide groove 24, the supporting force of the guide groove 24 on the bamboo gradually increases. When the bamboo comes into contact with the triggering device 23, the bamboo's forward movement is blocked. At this time, most of the weight of the bamboo is supported by the guide groove 24, so that the automatic unhooking assembly 52 is in the second state. The two hooks automatically disengage from the locking ring 56 under the elastic force of the elastic element 523, realizing automatic unhooking and unlocking. After the bamboo is unhooked and unloaded, the elastic movable end of the triggering device 23 has an elastic restoring force, which can push the bamboo to slide down the inclined guide groove 24 to the unloading position. Then the elastic movable end of the triggering device 23 returns to the initial state, waiting for the next mounted bamboo to be triggered.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the present invention may also provide an auxiliary locking structure on the two locking clamp arms 522, for example, an electrically controlled magnetic attraction structure on the two locking clamp arms 522. When the bamboo squeezes the triggering device 23, the triggering device 23 can control the electrically controlled magnetic attraction structure to release the attraction state, thereby achieving automatic disengagement under the action of the elastic member 523.

[0033] In some implementations, such as Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the angle adjustment bracket 39 is provided with two support wheels 32. The tensioning wheel 33 includes a grooved wheel 332 and a gear 331. The outer circumference of the grooved wheel 332 is provided with a groove. The rope 4 passes through the groove of one support wheel 32, the groove of the grooved wheel 332 and the groove of the other support wheel 32 in sequence, and there is a gap between the grooved wheel 332 and the two support wheels 32. The gear 331 is coaxially arranged on the rotating shaft of the grooved wheel 332. The rope 4 drives the hanging bamboo assembly 5 through the gap, and the hanging bamboo assembly 5 can drive the gear 331 to rotate.

[0034] It should be noted that the support wheels 32 of the present invention are installed in pairs on the angle adjustment bracket 39, and the rope 4 is embedded in the groove of the support wheel 32 to provide sliding support for the rope 4 and ensure the stability of the transportation path; the tension wheel 33 adopts a split rotating design of grooved wheel 332 and gear 331. The grooved wheel 332 is in close contact with the rope 4 and is connected to the angle adjustment bracket 39 through the rotating shaft, which is responsible for pressing the rope 4 to prevent slippage; the gear 331 is independently installed on the rotating shaft of the grooved wheel 332. When the bamboo hanging assembly 5 passes through the gap between the grooved wheel 332 and the support wheel 32, the bamboo hanging assembly 5 can drive the gear 331 to rotate. The gear 331 is used to count / trigger the bamboo transportation. It is directly driven by the bamboo hanging assembly 5 to realize the transportation quantity statistics or automatic action triggering. The gear 331 and the grooved wheel 332 used for tensioning are functionally separate and do not interfere with each other.

[0035] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, it also includes an automatic tension adjustment device 12; the automatic tension adjustment device 12 includes an electric actuator 121, a tension sensor 122 and a first infrared sensor 123. The electric actuator 121 and the first infrared sensor 123 are both mounted on the support frame 13, and the force-applying end of the electric actuator 121 can move to apply tension to the passing rope 4. The tension sensor 122 is used to detect the tension value.

[0036] It should be noted that the present invention has an automatic tension adjustment device 12 at the front end of the support frame 13, which is responsible for the final guidance and lead-out of the rope 4. The electric actuator 121 and the tension sensor 122 are located on both sides of the rope 4. The rope 4 is tensioned by moving the force-applying end of the electric actuator 121. The tension sensor 122 can detect the tension of the rope 4. The first infrared sensor 123 is used to detect the position and passage status of the rope 4.

[0037] In some implementations, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the mobile circulating drive device 1 also includes a drive device, a brake 114 and a synchronous pulley; the drive device is connected to the rotating shaft of the drive roller 115 via the brake 114, and synchronous pulleys are provided on the rotating shafts of both the drive roller 115 and the driven roller 117, and the two synchronous pulleys are connected in a driving manner.

[0038] It should be noted that the support frame 13 includes a power compartment and a circulation device compartment. The power compartment is equipped with an engine 101, and the circulation device compartment is equipped with a circulation drive assembly 11. The circulation drive assembly 11 includes an oil tank 111, a hydraulic oil radiator 112, a drive device, a brake 114, a drive roller 115, a driven roller 117, and a sprocket cover 116. The drive device is a hydraulic motor 113, and the drive roller 115 is located below the driven roller 117. In a specific embodiment, a second sprocket 119 is provided at one end of the shaft of the drive roller 115, and a first sprocket 118 is provided at one end of the shaft of the driven roller 117. The two sprockets are synchronously driven by a chain and are covered by a sprocket cover 116.

[0039] In some implementations, such as Figure 7 As shown, one end of the telescopic bracket 36 can telescopically move relative to the locking buckle 31; the angle adjustment bracket 39 is connected to the telescopic bracket 36 through a joint bearing 34, and an angle sensor 38 is provided on the angle adjustment bracket 39 or the joint bearing 34; a second infrared sensor 35 and a wear sensor 37 are provided on the telescopic bracket 36.

[0040] It should be noted that one end of the telescopic bracket 36 of the present invention is telescopically movable relative to the locking buckle 31. The overall posture can be adjusted by telescopic movement. One possible implementation is that one end of the telescopic bracket 36 and the locking buckle 31 can be connected by hydraulic damping. The locking buckle 31 is equipped with a cylinder filled with hydraulic oil and equipped with a throttling structure. One end of the telescopic bracket 36 is a piston rod, which can extend and retract relative to the cylinder. The hydraulic oil flows through the throttling structure to generate damping force, producing a smooth and buffered telescopic movement. Another possible implementation is that the locking buckle 31 is equipped with a sliding groove, and one end of the telescopic bracket 36 is a slider adapted to the sliding groove. A spring is installed between the chute and the slide, which provides elastic reset and buffering. The joint bearing 34 connects the angle adjustment bracket 39 and the telescopic bracket 36, allowing the pulley system to finely adjust the angle according to the posture of the rope 4. The swing function of the joint bearing 34 allows the angle adjustment bracket 39 to swing left and right, thus adapting to the installation of the rope 4 on slopes and basically keeping the support wheel 32 and the rope 4 parallel, reducing the risk of rope 4 wear and fall off. The angle sensor 38 and the wear sensor 37 monitor the tilt angle of the bracket and the degree of wear of the components, respectively. The second infrared sensor 35 is installed on one side of the telescopic bracket 36 to detect the position and passage status of the rope 4 or the material.

[0041] This invention relates to a rope-type bamboo transport equipment that uses rope 4 as the transmission carrier. It integrates mechanical locking, elastic reset, posture adjustment, roller support tensioning, and mechanical linkage triggering technologies. With real-time monitoring by multiple sensors, it constructs a closed-loop automated operation logic for hanging, transporting, unloading, and resetting. It is suitable for complex mountain conditions and replaces manual intervention to complete the efficient and safe transfer of bamboo from the starting point in the mountain forest to the unloading point, realizing automation and stability of the entire transportation process.

[0042] During the system initialization phase, the mobile circulating drive device 1 retracts and extends the rope 4 via the roller assembly, bringing the entire cableway to a preset tension and providing basic power support for transportation. Simultaneously, each core component completes attitude calibration: the support device 3 is rigidly clamped and fixed to the support rod 6 via the locking buckle 31; the telescopic bracket 36, in conjunction with the joint bearing 34, is adjusted to a support angle suitable for mountain conditions; the support wheel 32 supports the rope 4; and the grooved wheel 332 of the tensioning wheel 33 is pressed against the rope 4 and applies continuous pressure. The angle sensor 38, wear sensor 37, and second infrared sensor 35 are activated simultaneously to monitor the bracket attitude, wheel wear, and material passage status in real time, constructing a safety monitoring system. The automatic unhooking component 52 is in a naturally relaxed state, and the hook of the automatic unhooking component 52 is in a ready-to-hook position. The bamboo hanging component 5 hangs down naturally and stops with the rope 4 at the starting point of the mountain forest. The guide groove 24 device is fixed to the unloading point ground via the base 21 and pre-embedded anchor bolts. The support leg 22 supports the groove to form a suitable sliding slope, and the triggering device 23 is in a ready-to-trigger state.

[0043] During the hanging and bearing stage, after the bamboo is manually hung into the bamboo hanging component 5, the weight of the bamboo is transmitted as the main force to the automatic unhooking component 52, which pulls the bamboo hanging component 5 and stretches the elastic element 523. The elastic tension generated by the elastic element 523 and the locking force of the mechanical locking structure form a synergistic force, which firmly locks the locking ring 56 at the upper end of the lower connecting rod 53 through the hook, ensuring that the bamboo will not fall off accidentally due to shaking or bumping during subsequent lifting and transportation. The mechanical locking structure includes a hinge rod 521 and a locking clamp arm 522.

[0044] During the cableway lifting and transportation phase, the mobile circulating drive device 1 drives the roller assembly to wind up the rope. The traction rope 4 slides smoothly along the support wheel 32 of the support device 3. The support wheel 32 supports the rope 4 through the wheel groove, effectively dispersing the tension and sliding friction of the rope 4, reducing component wear while ensuring smooth transportation. The tension wheel 33 continuously applies pressure to the rope 4 through the groove wheel 332, counteracting the jumping force and slack tendency of the rope 4 during operation, preventing the rope 4 from leaving the wheel groove from the root, and further optimizing the stability of the cableway. The bamboo is lifted and transported synchronously along the cableway with the bamboo hanging assembly 5. When it passes the support device 3, the second infrared sensor 35 detects the material passing signal. On the one hand, it triggers the angle sensor 38 and the wear sensor 37 to enhance the monitoring accuracy and provide real-time feedback on the posture deviation of the support and the wear of the wheel system. If the threshold is exceeded, an early warning is issued immediately. On the other hand, the material passage signal is synchronously transmitted to the system to preset the trigger conditions for the linkage action of the subsequent unloading stage. The intermediate support synchronously assists in supporting the cableway, corrects the direction of the rope, and avoids the cableway from sagging and deforming due to its large span.

[0045] During the guided unloading and linkage disengagement stage, when the automatic disengagement component 52 carries the bamboo to the top of the guide trough 24, the rope 4 drives the bamboo to slide to the entrance of the guide trough 24. The bamboo enters the guide trough 24 and slides smoothly towards the end along the preset slope of the trough. The guide trough 24 achieves directional guidance of the bamboo through a rigid trough structure, preventing the bamboo from shifting or piling up during unloading. When the bamboo slides to the end of the guide trough 24, the bamboo squeeze trigger device 23. This mechanical action is directly transmitted to the mechanical locking structure of the automatic disengagement component 52, causing the locking structure to unlock. The elastic element 523 drives the hook and the locking ring 56 to quickly disengage. The bamboo slides along the guide trough 24 to the unloading point to complete the orderly stacking, achieving the coordination of precise disengagement and directional unloading.

[0046] Example 2 This embodiment provides a rope-type bamboo transportation method, which uses the rope-type bamboo transportation equipment of Embodiment 1 for transportation, and includes the following steps: Step S1: Plan a circular transport route and set up multiple support devices 3 at intervals along the circular transport route; Step S2: Control the mobile circulating drive device 1 to move to the set position, so that the rope 4 passes through the wheel grooves of multiple support devices 3 and is wound around the roller assembly of the mobile circulating drive device 1 to form a closed circulating transport loop. Step S3: Achieve the preset tension in rope 4; Step S4: Hang the bamboo on the hanging bamboo assembly 5 on the rope 4, and control the roller assembly to rotate so that the rope 4 runs along the circulating transport loop.

[0047] It should be noted that in step S3 above, the preset tension can be achieved by adjusting the position of the mobile circulating drive device 1 and by retracting the rope 4 through the roller assembly.

[0048] This invention allows for the planning and selection of bamboo collection sites and rope 4 transportation routes before bamboo rope transportation operations commence. The collection site must meet rated load-bearing capacity requirements, ensuring a flat, mud-free, and non-submerged surface with gentle slopes, no significant elevation differences, and no surrounding low-lying areas with water accumulation. Sufficient loading / unloading and equipment parking spaces, as well as operational access routes, must be provided. The rope 4 transportation route must connect the harvesting and storage areas, prioritizing valley areas and ensuring smooth transitions between elevation differences and minimizing turns. Soft slope buffer sections should be reserved at the start of uphill sections and the end of downhill sections. The turning angle of the rope 4 entering the pulley system of the support device 3 should be ≥90°. A braking buffer zone should be reserved at the end of the collection area, and the ground should be flat and free of obstacles. Subsequently, site surveys and positioning, bamboo marking, and support structures are established. After completing the installation of the bamboo support components and the guide wheel assembly, the installation positions are marked after the route is surveyed and determined. The support rods 6 are installed at intervals of about 15m. Bamboo with a diameter at breast height of ≥10cm is selected as the installation points. The installation height is 1.4-2.0m above the ground. After the bracket is installed, the guide wheel assembly is installed and the connection is ensured to be safe and reliable. Then, the rope 4 is erected according to the steps of first laying the rope, fixing the bracket, and tightening the rope. The rope 4 is pulled from the bottom of the mountain to the logging area and then pulled back down the mountain. It is then threaded through the roller assembly and pulled back to the starting position. The support device 3 is installed in sequence at the corresponding line positions. The rope 4 is placed on the support wheel 32 of the support device 3 and simply tightened to complete the connection. Finally, the mobile circulating drive device 1 is started and its position is adjusted to tighten the rope 4.

[0049] After installation, conduct a comprehensive pre-start inspection of the equipment. Check whether rope 4 is loose, slipped, or deformed; whether the drive module chassis is fixed; whether the height of forest rope 4 above the ground is compliant; whether the equipment and surrounding environment are safe; whether the site is free from sudden slope changes, deep pits, mud, and the risk of collapse; whether the corner support device 3 is firmly fixed; whether the bracket is tilted or deformed; whether the angle between the pulley and rope 4 is normal; whether the operating lever is in neutral; and whether all lines are complete. Add the required grade of diesel fuel and check the fuel tank 111 for leaks or seepage. If there are leaks or seepage, repair them before starting the equipment. At the same time, check whether the guide wheels of the support rotate smoothly and whether the equipment's running direction adjustment is normal. After verifying that everything is in order, start the equipment. Before starting, ensure that no one is around the equipment and confirm the position of the control lever and the surrounding area is safe. First, turn the engine switch to the "on" position, then slightly open the throttle switch to about three notches. Turn the start key to start the engine 101 and immediately release it after starting. Shift the control lever into forward gear to begin operation. Always pay attention to the direction of the equipment's movement during operation. Do not allow non-operators or animals to approach within 2 meters of the equipment. Take anti-slip measures during rainy days or after rain. If it is necessary to clean mud or weeds from the equipment, or if the equipment needs to be moved due to a work stoppage, the engine 101 must be stopped first. When transporting bamboo, attach the head of each bamboo stalk to the bamboo hanging component 5 on rope 4 using a binding rope. After the bamboo is transported to the collection point, untie it from the cableway one by one and store it in the designated area.

[0050] After the operation is completed, stop the equipment according to the specifications. First, put the operating lever in neutral to stop the rope 4 from running. Then, adjust the throttle controller to the minimum and turn off the engine 101. Finally, clean and protect the equipment. Clean the mud and water from the surface of the rope drum, rope 4, hanging bamboo support, and protective parts. Keep the equipment dry and apply grease for rust prevention. Cover the entire equipment drive module with a rainproof cloth to prevent the components from aging and affecting the service life.

The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this invention. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of this invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.
