Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of forage production equipment, and more specifically relates to a turning machine for a forage planting tray. Background Art

[0002] At present, China's high-quality feed has high costs, high dependence on foreign germplasm, and production is limited by land resources, which has hindered the development of high-quality animal husbandry. In particular, some regions have problems such as land resource shortages, few areas suitable for growing forage, and climate restrictions, resulting in a huge gap in high-quality feed that is provided stably throughout the year. This is one of the main challenges for my country to develop high-quality, stable production of animal husbandry throughout the year.

[0003] As a special cultivation method for forage cultivation, hydroponic forage has high water and land resource utilization efficiency, highly controllable environmental conditions, and a harmless production process without the participation of pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals. These advantages make the hydroponic forage system very suitable for harsh climatic environments, such as deserts, areas with poor soil or traditional agricultural areas with high land costs. Especially in semi-arid, arid and drought-prone areas, or some areas suffering from long-term water shortages or non-existent irrigation infrastructure, the production method of hydroponic forage can greatly improve the "difficult" problem of local livestock feed. Through hydroponics, we can produce forage including corn, barley, oats, sorghum, rye, alfalfa and triticale. In summary, hydroponic forage is a production model that can maintain continuous production throughout the year, produce high-quality fresh forage, and have high land resource utilization efficiency. It can support regional livestock farms to complete self-sufficiency in some high-quality feed, and has high practical significance and economic value.

[0004] After searching, relevant patents have been disclosed about the hydroponic grass system, and the applicant has also been committed to the research and development, design and structural optimization of the hydroponic grass system. For example, the patent CN114793871A discloses a closable rotating tower for growing grass. The patent CN114642167A discloses an adjustable height rotating tower for growing grass. The patent CN114793863A discloses a spray irrigation system for a grass rotating tower.

[0005] The above patents all disclose relevant technical improvements on the hydroponic forage system. However, when the forage reaches the finished grass stage, the forage needs to be harvested in time. However, these patents do not disclose the corresponding harvesting method. Generally, manual collection is still used, which has low work efficiency and is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0006] Based on the above shortcomings, the applicant continued to optimize the design, and in the patent CN115176692A, a 180-degree turning machine for a grass planting tray was disclosed. In this application, the planting tray is turned over by a turntable frame to achieve automatic feeding of grass. However, after a period of actual use, it was found that during the turning process, the planting tray and the turntable frame would still collide, which could easily cause damage to the planting tray; at the same time, during the feeding process, part of the grass would hang on the turntable frame, resulting in incomplete feeding.

[0035] In order to further understand the content of the utility model, the utility model is described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0036] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0037] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0038] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a turning machine for a forage planting tray of this embodiment includes a mounting platform 1, a forage tray turning device and a conveyor line 5. The mounting platform 1 serves as the mounting base of the entire turning machine. The forage tray turning device is arranged on the mounting platform 1, and includes a clamping mechanism 2 for clamping the planting tray 4 and a turning mechanism 3 for driving the clamping mechanism 2 to turn over. The conveyor line 5 is used to transport the planting tray 4 loaded with forage to the clamping station to facilitate the clamping operation of the clamping mechanism 2.

[0039] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the clamping mechanism 2 includes a frame 21 and a clamping member 22. The frame 21 is a rectangular structure surrounded by four square tubes, and an inner frame is formed in the rectangular structure. The overall size of the inner frame needs to be larger than the size of the planting tray 4, that is, the length of the inner frame is larger than the length of the planting tray 4, and the width of the inner frame is larger than the width of the planting tray 4, so as to ensure that the frame 21 can cover the planting tray 4, and then the clamping member 22 is used to clamp the planting tray 4 from the side.

[0040] refer to Figure 5 As shown, the planting tray 4 in this embodiment not only serves as a transport carrier for the grass, but also undertakes the work of seed germination until the grass matures. Therefore, the planting tray 4 should have good wear resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., and the advantages of light weight. Preferably, the planting tray 4 is made of plastic, such as POM, PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), etc.

[0041] Specifically in this embodiment, the planting tray 4 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, and its overall size is 790mm*490mm*72mm. In addition, reinforcing ribs are provided around the outer frame of the planting tray 4 to further improve the overall strength of the planting tray 4 and extend its service life. At the same time, a step is formed on the reinforcing ribs to facilitate the clamping operation of the clamping member 22.

[0042] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the clamping members 22 are arranged in pairs on opposite sides of the frame 21, and are used to clamp and release the planting tray 4 from opposite sides. The clamping members 22 include a clamping plate 221 and a cylinder 222 for driving the clamping plate 221 to retract and move. The cylinder 222 is arranged on the frame 21, and the clamping plate 221 is located in the inner frame of the frame 21. Of course, the cylinder 222 can also be replaced by an oil cylinder, an electric push rod, or other structures that can realize the retraction and movement of the clamping plate 221.

[0043] Preferably, the clamping surface of the clamping plate 221 has an extension section at each end, and the two extension sections are distributed away from each other. During the clamping operation, one extension section is clamped on the upper end surface of the planting tray 4, and the other extension section is clamped on the step of the peripheral reinforcement rib of the planting tray 4 to ensure the stability of the clamping of the planting tray 4. Compared with the conventional method of clamping from the top and bottom of the planting tray 4, the clamping method of the top plus the middle part is adopted in this embodiment, which can effectively avoid the interference between the clamping plate 221 and the bottom of the conveyor line 5.

[0044] In addition, in order to reduce the damage caused by the clamping plate 221 to the planting tray 4 during the clamping operation, in this embodiment, the clamping plate 221 is preferably made of an elastic material, such as rubber or silicone.

[0045] refer to Figure 3 As shown, the flip mechanism 3 includes a rotating shaft 31 and a driving source 32 for driving the rotating shaft 31. The rotating shaft 31 is sleeved with a bearing, and the bearing is arranged on the mounting platform 1 through a bearing mounting seat 33.

[0046] The rotating shaft 31 is connected to the frame 21 through a connecting piece 34. One end of the connecting piece 34 is mounted on the rotating shaft 31 through a locking sleeve, and the other end is provided with a mounting groove for the extended section of the frame 21 to be inserted into. The mounting groove is also provided with a locking nut. The arrangement of the connecting piece 34 enables the detachable connection between the flipping mechanism 3 and the clamping mechanism 2, thereby facilitating the subsequent maintenance and repair operations.

[0047] Preferably, the driving source 32 is a reduction motor, and the output shaft of the motor is a hollow shaft. The rotating shaft 31 can be directly sleeved in the hollow shaft, and then connected through keyway matching, so that the assembly operation between the two is more convenient.

[0048] The turning machine for the forage planting tray of this embodiment cooperates with the clamping mechanism 2 and the turning mechanism 3, and the clamping mechanism 2 first performs a stable clamping operation on the planting tray 4, and then drives the entire clamping mechanism 2 to turn over through the turning mechanism 3. While completing the turning and unloading of the planting tray 4, it also effectively reduces the damage caused by the collision between the planting tray 4 and other components. In addition, the clamping mechanism 2 is an overall frame-shaped structure, and is clamped from the side of the planting tray 4, so that it will not affect the normal unloading of the forage, which is conducive to the complete unloading of the forage.

[0049] As another embodiment of the present invention, two grass tray turning devices are provided, one of which is used for feeding the grass, and the other is used for transferring the empty planting tray 4 after feeding to the next process.

[0050] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 As shown, a notch is provided on the mounting platform 1, and the end of the conveyor line 5 is arranged along the notch. Preferably, the notch is L-shaped, and the two straw tray turning devices are respectively located on two sides of the L-shape, that is, one is located at the end of the conveyor line 5, and the other is located on one side of the conveyor line 5.

[0051] refer to Figure 2 As shown, for the convenience of description, the straw tray turning device at the end of the conveyor line 5 is recorded as a first turning device, and the upper and lower square tubes of the frame 21 of the first turning device are the two ends of the frame 21, and the left and right square tubes are the two sides of the frame 21.

[0052] The straw tray turning device located on the side of the conveyor line 5 is recorded as the second turning device, and the upper and lower square tubes of the frame 21 of the second turning device are the two sides of the frame 21, and the left and right square tubes are the two ends of the frame 21. It should be noted that the above-mentioned upper, lower, left and right are all Figure 2 The paper direction shall prevail.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clamping members 22 of the first turning device are arranged at both ends of the frame 21, and the driving source 32 is arranged at the end of the rotating shaft 31. The clamping members 22 of the second turning device are arranged at both sides of the frame 21, and the driving source 32 is arranged in the middle of the rotating shaft 31. This design can effectively avoid interference between the clamping plate 221 and the two sides of the conveyor line 5, and can also minimize the space occupied by the entire turning machine.

[0054] In addition, in order to enable the planting tray 4 to stay accurately at the clamping station, a stop plate 6 and a position sensor 7 are provided at the end of the conveyor line 5 on the installation platform 1. The stop plate 6 is used to stop the planting tray 4 after it moves into place, so as to prevent the planting tray 4 from continuing to move, so that it can stay at the clamping station. The position sensor 7 is preferably a photoelectric sensor, which is used to sense whether the planting tray 4 is located at the clamping station, and then decide whether to start the subsequent flipping and clamping operations.

[0055] The turning machine for a forage planting tray of the present embodiment has the following working process: the conveyor line 5 drives the planting tray 4 carrying the forage to move to the stop plate 6 and stays there; at this time, the position sensor 7 senses that the planting tray 4 is located at the clamping position, and the first turning device is actuated:

[0056] The flipping mechanism 3 drives the clamping mechanism 2 to rotate, so that the planting tray 4 is located in the inner frame of the frame 21; then, the cylinder 222 drives the clamping plate 221 to clamp from the opposite side of the planting tray 4; then, the flipping mechanism 3 drives the entire clamping mechanism 2 to flip 180°, and the grass falls off from the planting tray 4 under the action of gravity, completing the unloading operation; at the same time, the first flipping device puts the empty planting tray 4 back to its original position.

[0057] Then the second turning device is activated to clamp and turn over the empty planting tray 4 so that it is turned upside down on the cleaning line, and then the cleaning operation is performed.

[0058] The turning machine for forage planting trays of the present embodiment, through the setting of two turning devices, can transfer the empty trays to the subsequent cleaning line after the planting trays 4 are turned over and unloaded, so as to achieve a good connection between the unloading process and the cleaning process; at the same time, the second grass tray turning device turns the empty planting tray upside down on the cleaning line, which is also conducive to the subsequent cleaning operation.

[0059] The above schematically describes the present invention and its implementation methods, which are not restrictive. The drawings show only one implementation method of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if ordinary technicians in this field are inspired by it and design structural methods and embodiments similar to the technical solution without creativity without departing from the purpose of the present invention, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
