[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0026] As shown in , this embodiment provides a flytrap-like unmanned aerial vehicle tree barrier cutting device, including an unmanned aerial vehicle 1, a rotating platform is installed below the unmanned aerial vehicle 1, and the rotating platform includes a fixed ring 2 and a rotating ring 3. The fixed ring 2 is fixedly installed below the unmanned aerial vehicle 1, and the rotating ring 3 is rotatably installed inside the fixed ring 2. A motor 1 is fixedly installed on the fixed ring 2, and the output end of the motor 1 is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 3. The motor 1 can drive the rotating ring 3 to rotate horizontally on the fixed ring 2. A rotating shaft 10 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the rotating ring 3, and a motor 2 is fixedly installed on the rotating ring 3. The output end of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 10, and the motor 2 is used to provide power to the rotating shaft 10. A mounting seat 11 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 10. When the rotating shaft 10 rotates, it can drive the mounting seat 11 to swing with the rotating shaft 10 as the axis.
[0027] Two rigid plates 5 distributed up and down are rotatably mounted on the mounting seat 11. The rigid plates 5 are made of metal, such as iron, steel or aluminum sheets. A flexible plate 6 is installed between the side walls of the two rigid plates 5. The flexible plate is a grid structure made of rubber or cloth. The rigid plates 5 and the flexible plates 6 form a placement part similar to a trumpet-shaped structure, and the interior of the structure is used to place tree branches. An electric push rod 4 for controlling the rotation of the rigid plates 5 is also installed on the mounting seat 11. One end of the electric push rod 4 is rotatably connected to the rigid plates 5, and the other end is rotatably connected to the bottom of the drone 1. When the electric push rod 4 is extended, it can bring the two rigid plates 5 closer to each other. When the electric push rod 4 is shortened, the two rigid plates 5 are separated. Figure 4 As shown by the arrows, when the two rigid plates 5 are opened or closed, the flexible plate does not affect the movement of the rigid plates 5 .
[0028] A cutting knife 7 is installed on one side of the rigid plate 5 located inside the placement portion. Figure 1-3As shown, the cutting knives 7 on the two rigid plates 5 are symmetrically placed. The cutting knives 7 are located at the opening of the placement portion. An I-shaped support seat 9 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the cutting knives 7, and a slide groove 8 for placing the support seat 9 is opened on the rigid plate 5, and the support seat 9 can slide in the slide groove 8.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the two ends of the two cutting knives 7 are rotatably connected to a connecting rod respectively, and the upper and lower connecting rods are rotatably connected, and the cutting knives 7 and the connecting rods form a hexagonal structure. When the rigid plates 5 are close to or away from each other, the connecting parts of the two connecting rods can move outward or inward, so that the cutting knives 7 are close to or away from each other, and the branches are cut. The cutting knives 7, the rigid plates 5 and the flexible plates form a cutting device for cutting branches. The support seat 9 and the connecting rod keep the cutting knives 7 in a vertical state.
[0030] In this embodiment, the motor 1 can drive the rotating ring 3 and the cutting device installed on the rotating ring 3 to rotate in the horizontal direction with the rotating ring 3 as the axis, so as to adjust the position of the cutting device in the horizontal direction.
[0031] When cutting branches, the drone 1 is used to fly with the cutting device and the electric push rod 4 to the branches that need to be cut. The electric push rod 4 contracts and moves the rigid plate 5 outward (i.e. away from each other), so that the distance between the two rigid plates 5 increases, and the rigid plate 5 will move outward synchronously with the cutting knife 7, and the connecting rod on the cutting knife 7 gradually rotates to a position close to the vertical position, and the opening of the placement part is reached. Then, the placement part can approach the branch, and the branch and the leaves on the branch will directly enter the inside of the placement part from the two cutting knives to wrap the branch. Then the electric push rod 4 extends, and the two rigid plates 5 approach each other, and at the same time, the cutting knife 7 approaches each other, thereby completing the cutting of the branch.
[0032] When the rigid plate 5 moves with the cutting knife 7, the support seat 9 can slide in the slide groove 8, so that the cutting knife 7 can be better opened or closed. When the cutting knife 7 contacts the branch, since the cutting knife 7 and the support seat 9 can slide in the slide groove 8, that is, the cutting knife 7 and the rigid plate 5 can slide relative to each other, when cutting the branch, after the cutting knife 7 contacts the vertical, when the rigid plate 5 approaches, the cutting knife 7 is only subjected to the pressure of the rigid plate 5, thereby cutting the branch.
[0033] After the branches are cut, they are wrapped in the placement part and are located in the placement part, so they will not fall down. When cutting, the branches have a certain load, so the cutting is more efficient. The cut branches are wrapped inside the placement part. After the drone flies to the branch collection location, it turns the cutting device to a vertical state, the opening of the placement part faces downward, the electric push rod 4 shrinks, the two rigid plates 5 move away from each other, the placement part opens, and the branches can fall from the placement part to the collection point.
[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
