Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, and in particular to a dual-purpose device for burying and removing grapevines. Background Technology

[0002] During the grape growing process, the grapevines need to be buried in winter to prevent them from being damaged by low temperatures. After the temperature rises in spring, the buried soil needs to be dug up to ensure that the grapevines can sprout and grow normally.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The preferred technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Example: A dual-purpose device for burying and removing grapevines, such as... Figures 1-10 As shown, the device includes a cover 1, a body 2, wheels 3, a steering structure, a drive motor 6, a lifting motor 7, a lifting rod 15, a switching motor 16, a crossbar 17, a connecting frame 18, a burial device, and a soil-dredging device. The cover 1 is installed on the top of the body 2, the steering structure is installed on the front of the body 2, and the drive motor 6 and the lifting motor 7 are installed on the rear of the body 2. Wheels 3 are installed on the output ends of the steering structure and the drive motor 6. The lifting rod 15 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor 7. The switching motor 16 is rotatably connected to the lifting rod 15. The crossbar 17 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the switching motor 16, and the connection node is at the axial midpoint of the crossbar 17. The connecting frames 18 are fixedly connected to both ends of the crossbar 17, and the burial device and the soil-dredging device are respectively installed on the connecting frames 18 at both ends.

[0031] like Figure 10 As shown, the burial device includes a mounting cover 23, a digging wheel 24, and a digging motor 25. The mounting cover 23 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 18. The digging motor 25 is mounted on the side of the mounting cover 23. The digging wheel 24 is rotatably connected inside the mounting cover 23. The shaft of the digging wheel 24 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the digging motor 25. The mounting cover 23 fixed on the connecting frame 18 provides rotation space for the digging wheel 24 and prevents soil from splashing during digging, thus effectively protecting the internal components. The digging motor 25 provides power to the digging wheel 24, enabling it to rotate efficiently. The digging wheel 24 achieves digging action through contact with the soil, and the fixed connection between its shaft and the output shaft of the digging motor 25 ensures the stability of power transmission. The three components work together to quickly and evenly complete the burial of grapevines, greatly improving burial efficiency and quality.

[0032] like Figure 9As shown, the soil-removing device includes triangular frames 19, a sweeping motor 20, a sweeping belt 21, and a cover 22. Two triangular frames 19 are fixedly connected to the connecting frame 18 at the other end. Rollers are rotatably connected between the three corners of the two triangular frames 19, and the sweeping belt 21 covers the three rollers. The sweeping motor 20 is installed on the side of the triangular frames 19, and the output shaft of the sweeping motor 20 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of one of the rollers. The cover 22 is installed between the front ends of the two triangular frames 19. The two triangular frames 19 provide stable support for the rollers and the sweeping belt 21, ensuring the stable operation of the sweeping belt 21. The sweeping motor 20 drives the rollers to rotate, which in turn drives the sweeping belt 21 to operate. The sweeping belt 21 can gently sweep away the soil on the grapevines, avoiding damage to the grapevines. The cover 22 can prevent soil from splashing around during sweeping, keeping the working environment clean. The device as a whole achieves high efficiency and safety in grapevine soil removal.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, the steering structure includes a steering motor 8, a rotating rod 9, a first connecting rod 10, a steering component 11, a second connecting rod 12, and a mounting shaft 13. The steering component 11 is rotatably connected to the front end of the vehicle body 2. The steering motor 8 is mounted on the vehicle body 2 near the steering component 11. The rotating rod 9 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the steering motor 8, with the connection node located at the axial midpoint of the rotating rod 9. Both ends of the rotating rod 9 are rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 10. The other ends of both first connecting rods 10 are rotatably connected to the rear end of the steering component 11. The front end of the steering component 11 rotates... The device has two second connecting rods 12, and the other end of the second connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to the mounting shaft 13. The wheel 3 is mounted on the mounting shaft 13. The steering motor 8 provides steering power. Its output shaft is connected to the rotating rod 9 at the midpoint of the axial direction, so that the two ends of the rotating rod 9 are subjected to balanced force. The rotating rod 9 drives the steering component 11 to swing through the first connecting rod 10. The steering component 11 then drives the mounting shaft 13 and the wheel 3 to turn through the second connecting rod 12. All components work together to realize the flexible and precise steering of the device, allowing the device to move flexibly back and forth in the vineyard.

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, a limiting component 14 is installed on the vehicle body 2 near the steering component 11. The two ends of the limiting component 14 are fixedly connected with rings. The mounting shaft 13 passes through the rings, and the diameter of the rings is larger than the diameter of the mounting shaft 13. This allows the limiting component 14 to not only not hinder the normal rotation of the mounting shaft 13, but also to limit the range of motion of the mounting shaft 13, preventing it from rotating excessively or deviating, thus ensuring the stability of the steering structure and ensuring the smoothness of the device during driving and operation.

[0035] like Figure 3As shown, an antenna 101 and a signal light 103 are installed on the vehicle cover 1. The antenna 101 can receive remote control signals, enabling operators to remotely control the device, reducing the intensity and risk of manual field work. The signal light 103 can intuitively display the working status of the device, such as running, stopping, or malfunctioning, making it convenient for operators to understand the device's status in a timely manner, facilitating timely handling of abnormalities, and improving the safety and efficiency of operations.

[0036] like Figures 2-4 As shown, a solar panel 102 is installed on the hood 1, and a battery 5 is fixedly installed in the middle compartment inside the vehicle body 2 by a shock-absorbing bracket. The output end of the battery 5 is electrically connected to each motor through wires, and the output end of the solar panel 102 is electrically connected to the battery 5. The solar panel 102 on the hood 1 can convert solar energy into electrical energy and store it in the battery 5 inside the vehicle body 2 to power the various electrical components of the device, reducing the dependence on traditional energy, saving energy costs, and conforming to the concept of energy conservation and environmental protection. The battery 5 can provide a stable power supply, ensuring that the device can work normally and guaranteeing the continuity of operation.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, ventilation windows are provided on both sides of the vehicle body 2 at the locations where the battery 5 is installed. A fan 4 is fixedly installed inside the window. The fan 4 can be started when the battery 5 is working, which accelerates the airflow around the battery 5, effectively dissipates the heat generated by the battery 5, and prevents the battery 5 from being affected by high temperature or having its service life shortened. This ensures the stable operation of the battery 5 and provides reliable power support for the continuous operation of the device.

[0038] Grapevines need to be covered with soil in winter, and the soil needs to be dug up when the planting season arrives. This device can automatically complete these two tasks with one machine. All components work together to complete the work process accurately and efficiently.

[0039] During the burial operation, the operator sends a command via a remote controller. The antenna 101 receives the signal and transmits it to the control system inside the vehicle body 2. The control system then activates the drive motor 6, which rotates the rear wheels 3. Simultaneously, the steering mechanism works in tandem, allowing the device to smoothly move to the soil-removing area on the left side of the grapevine. Upon reaching the designated position, the control system activates the lifting motor 7. The output shaft of the lifting motor 7 drives the lifting rod 15 vertically downwards, causing the switching motor 16, crossbar 17, connecting frame 18, and the burial and excavation devices mounted on the connecting frame 18 to descend synchronously. Once the device has descended to the appropriate height, the lifting motor 7 stops. Subsequently, the switching motor 16 starts under the command of the control system. Its output shaft drives the crossbar 17 to rotate around its central mounting point. When the burial device on the left side of the crossbar 17 contacts the ground and the excavation device on the right side is completely detached from the ground, the switching motor 16 stops rotating. At this time, the soil-digging motor 25 of the burial device starts, and its output shaft drives the soil-digging wheel 24 to rotate at high speed inside the mounting cover 23. The spiral-shaped soil-digging claws on the outer periphery of the soil-digging wheel 24 contact the soil and dig it up. Under the guidance of the spiral structure, the soil is continuously transported to the grapevines on the right side of the device, achieving uniform burial of the grapevines. Throughout the burial process, the indicator light 103 on the vehicle cover 1 displays the operation status in real time. If any abnormality occurs, the indicator light 103 will issue a warning signal.

[0040] During the soil removal operation, the device moves to the right side of the grapevine under the action of the drive motor 6 and the steering structure, aligning the sweeping belt 21 of the soil removal device with the area above the grapevine. The height of the device is adjusted by the lifting motor 7 to ensure that the sweeping belt 21 can fully contact the soil without compressing the grapevine. Next, the switching motor 16 drives the crossbar 17 to rotate, so that the right side of the soil removal device contacts the ground and the left side of the burying device is lifted off the ground. Then, the sweeping motor 20 starts, and its output shaft drives the connected roller to rotate. With the coordinated action of the three rollers, the sweeping belt 21 moves accordingly. Since the end of the sweeping belt 21 that contacts the ground remains horizontal, the soft brush on its outer surface contacts the soil above the grapevine. As the sweeping belt 21 circulates, the soft brush gently sweeps the soil away from the grapevine. At the same time, the shield 22 at the front end of the triangular frame 19 can effectively block the soil splashed during the sweeping process, avoiding pollution to the surrounding environment.

[0041] During the operation of the steering structure, after receiving instructions from the control system, the steering motor 8 drives the rotating rod 9 to rotate around the central connection point. The first connecting rods 10 at both ends of the rotating rod 9 then pull the steering component 11 to swing around the connection point at the front end of the vehicle body 2. The two second connecting rods 12 at the front end of the steering component 11 then drive the mounting shaft 13 to rotate, causing the wheels 3 on the mounting shaft 13 to change direction, thus achieving steering. During this process, the rings at both ends of the limiting component 14 limit and guide the movement of the mounting shaft 13, preventing it from deviating from its normal trajectory due to excessive rotation, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the steering. The solar panel 102 converts solar energy into electrical energy under sunlight conditions, which is stored in the battery 5 inside the vehicle body 2 through a charging circuit. The battery 5 provides power to all electrical components, including the drive motor 6, lifting motor 7, excavating motor 25, sweeping motor 20, and steering motor 8. When the temperature of battery 5 rises during discharge, the fans 4 on both sides of the vehicle body 2 near battery 5 automatically start, accelerating the air circulation around battery 5 and dissipating heat in time, ensuring that battery 5 always works within a suitable temperature range and extending the service life of battery 5.

[0042] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
