Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medicinal crop production equipment, and particularly relates to a harvesting device for Atractylodes macrocephala planted under forests. Background Art

[0002] Atractylodes lance (Thunb.) DC. is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Atractylodes in the Asteraceae family. Its rhizomes contain active ingredients such as atractylodes alcohol, β-eudesmol, atractylodes ketone, and atractylodesin, which have the effects of removing dampness and strengthening the spleen, dispelling wind and cold, and improving eyesight. Atractylodes lance prefers a cool, dry environment with loose soil. It is mainly distributed in Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Henan and other places. Among them, the Atractylodes lancea grown in the Dabie Mountains is of excellent quality, with high contents of atractylodes alcohol and β-eudesmol. With the increase in the market demand for Atractylodes lancea medicinal materials, the area of ​​artificial cultivation is also expanding. However, long-term single artificial cultivation will lead to the deterioration of the soil environment and the deterioration of the quality of the rhizomes of Atractylodes lancea. In the Dabie Mountains, there are already understory planting models such as "chestnut + Atractylodes lancea" and "Paulownia + Atractylodes lancea". Interplanting Atractylodes lancea under the forest can not only prevent soil compaction, but also give full play to the mutual benefit between species. It is one of the important ways to promote the growth of Atractylodes lancea under the forest, improve the yield and quality of medicinal materials, and maximize the use of land resources.

[0003] After searching, a Chinese patent disclosed a method for intercropping authentic Atractylodes lancea and Cornus officinalis (authorization announcement number CN113273451B), which includes the following steps: selection of planting site; selection of Atractylodes lancea seedlings and Cornus officinalis seedlings; planting of Cornus officinalis seedlings; planting of Atractylodes lancea seedlings; fertilization; pest and disease control; water management; and harvesting.

[0004] This patent discloses a method of planting Atractylodes lancea in a mixed pattern with other plants, which can manage a piece of land at the same time to harvest two kinds of Chinese medicinal materials, saving the use of fertilizers, water, and pesticides. In actual application, Atractylodes lancea is often planted in a mixed pattern with other plants, or Atractylodes lancea is cultivated by under-forest planting, which can save costs.

[0005] However, when cultivating Atractylodes lancea by the method of planting under the forest, when Atractylodes lancea matures and needs to be harvested, it is necessary to manually dig the soil at the roots of Atractylodes lancea with a small shovel before taking it out, and large-scale harvesting machinery cannot be used to dig it to avoid damaging the roots of other plants in the forest. Although the manual digging operation with a small shovel can avoid damaging the roots of other plants, it is inefficient and has high labor costs. In addition, it requires manual squatting on the ground for a long time to operate, which greatly increases the workload of workers and is not conducive to practical applications.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of 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.

[0039] A device for harvesting Atractylodes macrocephala planted under forests, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes an L-shaped plate 1, a drive assembly and a transmission assembly. The drive assembly, the transmission assembly and the digging blade 3 are all installed on the L-shaped plate 1. Specifically, the drive assembly is slidably matched with the L-shaped plate 1, and can drive the transmission assembly to work. The transmission assembly can transmit the power of the drive assembly, specifically driving the digging blade 3 to rotate through mechanical transmission. The digging blade 3 is installed at the bottom of the L-shaped plate 1, and can harvest crops while rotating.

[0040] It should be noted that the harvesting device of the utility model is not limited to harvesting Atractylodes lancea. If other types of crops can also be harvested using the harvesting blade 3, they are also within the scope of application of the utility model. In addition, the harvesting blade 3 of the utility model can also be improved and replaced according to actual needs.

[0041] Furthermore, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the driving assembly mainly includes a fixed plate 6, a rack 7, a pedal 8 and a return spring 9. The fixed plate 6 is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the L-shaped plate 1. The rack 7 is slidably connected to the fixed plate 6, and one end is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the pedal 8; in addition, in the working state, the rack 7 can slide up and down with the pedal 8, and transmit power through the meshing with the gear in the transmission assembly when sliding.

[0042] Furthermore, in order to ensure the stability of the pedal 8, one side of the pedal 8 is slidably connected to the L-shaped plate 1. Specifically, a plurality of (generally two) stopper blocks 13 are fixed to one side of the pedal 8, and a plurality of (generally two) stopper grooves 14 are provided on the surface of the L-shaped plate 1, and the stopper blocks 13 are slidably connected to the stopper grooves 14. At the same time, the two ends of the return spring 9 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the pedal 8 and the fixed plate 6, so that when the pedal 8 is stepped on, the pedal 8 can be reset by the rebound effect of the return spring 9.

[0043] It should be noted that in Figure 2 The middle return spring 9 can also be replaced by other elastic structures, such as a damper. For example, in some embodiments, a magnet repelling structure can also be used for return.

[0044] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, a through slot 11 for the rack 7 to slide is provided on the surface of the fixed plate 6 , and limit strips 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the rack 7 , and notches for use with the limit strips 12 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the through slot 11 .

[0045] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, in order to further ensure the stability of the rack 7 when sliding, the number of the fixing plates 6 may be increased, or the thickness of the fixing plates 6 may be increased.

[0046] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib 15 is provided between one side of the top of the rack 7 and the bottom of the pedal 8 , and the structural strength of the connection between the rack 7 and the pedal 8 can be improved by the reinforcing rib 15 .

[0047] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the reinforcing ribs 15 can be a triangular or rectangular block structure, and can be installed by welding. In addition, the number and size of the reinforcing ribs 15 can be modified according to the size of the rack 7 and the pedal 8.

[0048] Furthermore, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the transmission assembly includes a transmission shaft 2, a first gear 4 and a second gear 5. The transmission shaft 2 is rotatably mounted on the L-shaped plate 1, one end of which is fixedly connected to the excavating blade 3, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the first gear 4; the second gear 5 is rotatably mounted on the L-shaped plate 1, and is respectively meshed with the first gear 4 and the rack 7 in the driving assembly.

[0049] It should be noted that the up and down movement of the rack 7 can drive the second gear 5 to rotate, and at the same time can drive the first gear 4 to rotate, thereby completing the power transmission operation. At the same time, the diameter of the second gear 5 is larger than the diameter of the first gear 4, preventing the rack 7 from touching the teeth on the outside of the first gear 4.

[0050] Furthermore, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, ground anchors 10 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the L-shaped plate 1. The ground anchors 10 are all configured as conical structures. The L-shaped plate 1 can be stably placed on the ground through the ground anchors 10.

[0051] Furthermore, two storage boxes 16 are installed on the outer side of the top of the L-shaped plate 1, and handles 17 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the L-shaped plate 1. The storage boxes 16 can be used to store items, and the handles 17 can be used to carry and use equipment.

[0052] Further, Figure 1 to Figure 4 The excavating blade 3 is an arc-shaped structure and rotates with the transmission shaft 2 as the rotation center.

[0053] It should be noted that the utility model adopts a semi-elliptical blade when harvesting Atractylodes lancea, and the upper and lower edges are sharp blades. During the rotation process, the tool can completely dig out Atractylodes lancea.

[0054] It should be further explained that the excavating blade 3 of the present invention is not limited to Figure 1 to Figure 4 The structure shown in the figure can be adjusted according to the crops to be dug, for example, the digging blade 3 can also be a spiral structure, a semicircular structure or a strip structure, etc. In addition, the transmission direction of the transmission shaft 2 can also be modified, for example, the transmission direction of the transmission shaft 2 can be replaced by a bevel gear structure to be along the vertical direction.

[0055] The working process of the harvesting device of the utility model is described in detail below:

[0056] When in use, the handle 17 can be used to carry the device to the side of the Atractylodes lancea that needs to be harvested, and then one foot is stepped on the top of the L-shaped plate 1 so that the anchor 10 at the bottom of the L-shaped plate 1 can be inserted into the soil.

[0057] Then, the foot steps on the top of the pedal 8 to move the rack 7 downward, and the meshing of the teeth drives the second gear 5 to rotate, and at the same time drives the first gear 4 to rotate, and further drives the transmission shaft 2 to rotate.

[0058] The transmission shaft 2 drives the excavating blade 3 to rotate while rotating, and the sharp cutting edges on both sides of the excavating blade 3 enter the soil to excavate the roots of the Atractylodes lancea and the soil around the roots.

[0059] The whole operation process is simple and convenient. The operator does not need to squat on the ground for a long time to operate. It can improve the harvesting efficiency while reducing the workload, which is beneficial to practical application. At the same time, the equipment is small in size and can be well applied to the harvesting operation of Atractylodes lancea planted under the forest.

[0060] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
