Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model mainly relates to the technical field of chrysanthemum picking, and in particular to an automatic edible chrysanthemum picking machine. Background Art

[0002] Chrysanthemum is a perennial herb belonging to the genus Chrysanthemum of the Asteraceae family. Chrysanthemum flowers are rich in a variety of beneficial ingredients, including volatile oils, flavonoids, polysaccharides, triterpenoids, and trace elements required by the human body. In addition to its application in the medical field, chrysanthemum can also be used as a food ingredient, and can also be used to make daily necessities such as toothpaste and hand cream, so it has a high economic value.

[0003] At present, in China's rural planting bases, the picking of chrysanthemums still relies heavily on manual labor, some of which are picked by hand, and some are picked using tools with comb teeth. However, these picking methods not only have high labor costs and a heavy burden on the human body, but also if the picking efficiency is low, the chrysanthemums are likely to wither after the flowering period. In addition, if it rains and the picking is not timely, the chrysanthemums will lose their use value. Therefore, the traditional manual picking method can no longer adapt to the current large-scale planting environment, nor can it meet the rapid development needs of the industrialization and scale of chrysanthemum planting.

Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0030] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed", "provided with", etc. should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances. Example

[0031] See attached Figure 1-6 , an edible chrysanthemum automatic picking machine, comprising a main frame 1, a plurality of evenly distributed triangular crawler assemblies 2 are assembled at the bottom of the main frame 1, and a picking mechanism 3, a position adjustment mechanism 4 and a suction mechanism 5 are arranged inside;

[0032] The picking mechanism 3 is driven by the position adjustment mechanism 4 to move in the vertical and horizontal directions, and is connected to the suction mechanism 5 through the conveying pipe 6 .

[0033] In this embodiment, the main frame 1 travels in the chrysanthemum field through the triangular crawler assembly 2, and the chrysanthemums are automatically picked through the picking mechanism 3. The picking mechanism 3 can be driven to move in the vertical and horizontal directions through the position adjustment mechanism 4, so as to facilitate the picking of chrysanthemums at different positions and heights. The picked chrysanthemums will be collected into the suction mechanism 5 through the conveying pipe 6, thereby realizing efficient picking of chrysanthemums, reducing labor costs, and increasing the economic benefits of chrysanthemums.

[0034] The position adjustment mechanism 4 includes a movable frame 401, and the first telescopic cylinder 402 is installed on both sides of the inner wall of the movable frame 401. The first telescopic cylinder 402 extends in the vertical direction and is connected to the picking mechanism 3. The top of the movable frame 401 is provided with a slide rail 403 extending in the horizontal direction, and a second telescopic cylinder 404 connected to the main frame 1. The slide rail 403 is slidably connected to the guide slide bar 405 provided on the main frame 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first telescopic cylinder 402 extends in the vertical direction, and can drive the picking mechanism 3 to move in the vertical direction after being started, while the second telescopic cylinder 404 extends in the horizontal direction, and can drive the movable frame 401 to move in the horizontal direction after being started. The picking mechanism 3 keeps moving synchronously, thereby realizing the movement of the picking mechanism 3 in both vertical and horizontal directions, so as to facilitate the picking of chrysanthemums at different positions and heights.

[0036] The picking mechanism 3 includes a mounting plate 301, which is connected to the first telescopic cylinder 402 and fixedly mounted with a picking bucket 302. A feed port 3021 is provided on the side wall of the picking bucket 302, and connecting sleeves 303 are rotatably mounted at both ends. The two connecting sleeves 303 are connected by circumferentially arranged picking hooks 304.

[0037] In this embodiment, after the connecting sleeve 303 is driven to rotate, the picking hook 304 rotates synchronously to pick the chrysanthemums. The picked chrysanthemums are transported by the picking hook 304 and fall into the picking bucket 302 from the feed port 3021, thereby picking the chrysanthemums.

[0038] A coaxially distributed auger shaft 305 is rotatably installed in the picking barrel 302 .

[0039] In this embodiment, after the auger shaft 305 is driven to rotate, the chrysanthemums collected in the picking bucket 302 can be transported to the vicinity of the conveying pipe 6.

[0040] The mounting plate 301 is equipped with a motor 306 , which is transmission-connected to the connecting sleeve 303 and the auger shaft 305 through a pulley belt assembly.

[0041] In this embodiment, after the motor 306 is started, the connection sleeve 303 and the auger shaft 305 can be driven to rotate through the transmission of the pulley belt assembly. The motor 306 uses a double-axis motor, and the transmission effect is better and more stable.

[0042] The suction mechanism 5 includes a suction barrel 501 and a collection barrel 502 connected at the ends. The suction barrel 501 is connected to the picking barrel 302 through a conveying pipe 6 and is equipped with an exhaust fan 503 inside. A filter plate 504 is arranged inside the collection barrel 502.

[0043] In this embodiment, after the exhaust fan 503 is started, the chrysanthemums collected in the picking bucket 302 can be sucked into the collection bucket 502 through the conveying pipe 6.

[0044] The suction bucket 501 and the collection bucket 502 are connected via a spring buckle 505 .

[0045] In this embodiment, the suction bucket 501 and the collection bucket 502 can be separated by engaging the contact spring buckle 505, so as to facilitate the collection of the chrysanthemums in the collection bucket 502.

[0046] The side wall of the collection barrel 502 is provided with an observation window 506 for observing the internal chrysanthemum capacity.

[0047] The above-described embodiments only express a certain implementation method of the utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the utility model shall be based on the attached claims.

[0048] It should be noted that the above contents belong to the technical cognition scope of the inventor. Since the technical contents in this field are vast and too complicated, the above contents of this application do not necessarily constitute prior art.
