[0021] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and thus, once an item is defined in one drawing, it may not be further defined or explained in the subsequent drawings.

[0022] Example:

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a tree whitening machine with a vertical fan-shaped nozzle comprises a Mecanum wheel set 1, a frame 2, a liquid storage tank 3, a Z-axis lifting device 4, an X-axis telescopic device 5, a visual sensor 41, and a fan-shaped nozzle 51; the Mecanum wheel set 1 is installed at the bottom of the frame 2 for the frame 2 to travel, the Z-axis lifting device 4 is installed at the front end of the frame 2, the X-axis telescopic device 5 is installed on the moving part of the Z-axis lifting device 4, the front end of the X-axis telescopic device 5 is connected to the fan-shaped nozzle 51, the visual sensor 41 and the liquid storage tank 3 are installed on the frame 2, and a battery compartment 6 is arranged at the rear end of the frame 2, and a quick-release battery pack 61 is installed therein for power supply.

[0024] The visual sensor 41 is installed at the top of the Z-axis lifting device 4, which is a higher point and will not be blocked. It can be used as a more suitable installation point for the visual sensor 41. Of course, a special installation structure can also be set according to the specific situation of use.

[0025] The Mecanum wheels 12 are connected to the motor shaft of the motor 11 , and the motor 11 is connected to the frame 2 via the motor bracket 13 . The Mecanum wheels 12 are distributed at the bottom of the frame 2 to form a Mecanum wheel set 1 for moving the frame 2 .

[0026] The liquid storage tank 3 is arranged in the middle of the frame 2 and its shape corresponds to the frame 2. The weight loaded in the liquid storage tank 3 is large and will shake, so it is arranged in the middle of the frame 2 to ensure the center of gravity and prevent the vehicle's center of gravity from being unstable due to bumpy driving.

[0027] A tank cover 31 is provided at the upper end of the liquid storage tank 3, and the tank cover 31 is located at the middle position of the top of the liquid storage tank 3. A connecting rope is provided between the tank cover 31 and the tank body to prevent the tank cover 31 from being lost. The liquid storage tank 3 is connected to the fan-shaped nozzle 51 by a pipeline, and is equipped with a high-pressure pump, which is connected to a controller. When the high-pressure pump is working, it will generate suction on the liquid storage tank 3, so that the lime water in the liquid storage tank 3 enters the fan-shaped nozzle 51 through the connecting pipe, so that the lime water is sprayed out.

[0028] The lower end of the Z-axis lifting device 4 is installed on the front side of the frame 2, so that the plane space on the upper part of the frame 2 can be better utilized for installing the liquid storage tank 3.

[0029] The moving part of the Z-axis lifting device 4 is located on the side, and the X-axis telescopic device 5 and the Z-axis lifting device 4 are staggered to form a cross structure and are installed on the moving part of the Z-axis lifting device 4, so that the up and down lifting and the front and back telescopic operation are independent and not interfered.

[0030] The outlet of the fan-shaped nozzle 51 is linear and vertically arranged. If necessary, a deflection device can be provided to adapt it to trees growing in an inclined direction, so as to save more sprayed paint or lime water. Of course, this function can also be achieved by the height difference of the wheels.

[0031] The battery compartment 6 is provided with a quick interface connected to the quick-release battery pack 61 to facilitate quick replacement of the battery. The battery is used to power the electrical equipment of the entire white coating machine and is equipped with a transformer for voltage conversion.

[0032] The Z-axis lifting device 4, the X-axis telescopic device 5, the visual sensor 41, and the fan-shaped nozzle 51 are all connected to the controller. The visual sensor 41 is used to detect the position, distance and height of the trees. The controller automatically adjusts the height of the Z-axis lifting device 4 and the length of the X-axis telescopic device 5 according to the detection results, so that the spraying height of the fan-shaped nozzle 51 covers any height between 0 meters and 1.5 meters. The controller is used to control the action of the sprayer and the spraying after the nozzle is in place.

[0033] Instructions for use: During the whitewashing process, the tree whitewashing machine detects the position of the tree through the visual sensor 41 and automatically adjusts to a position relative to the tree. When the visual sensor 41 measures the corresponding diameter of the tree, the height of the fan-shaped nozzle 51 and the telescopic distance of the X-axis telescopic device are adjusted through the Z-axis lifting device 4. After the adjustment is completed, the battery compartment 6 supplies power to the high-pressure pump, and the high-pressure pump starts to generate suction, and lime water is extracted from the liquid storage device 3 and transported to the fan-shaped nozzle 51 through the connecting pipe. After the fan-shaped nozzle 51 sprays lime water, the motor 11 drives the Mecanum wheel 12 of the tree whitewashing machine to rotate, so that the tree whitewashing machine rotates around the central axis of the tree, and the whitewashing work is performed evenly and efficiently. After the tree whitewashing machine performs a circular motion around the central axis of the tree, the whitewashing work is completed, and finally the lime water is attached to the tree trunk for natural air drying.
