Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of unmanned farms, and specifically relates to a covering plant management device for unmanned farms. Technical Background

[0002] Cover plants are grasses or other plants planted outside the target crop to control weeds or cover bare ground. Turf-forming grasses or mixtures of these grasses with legumes contribute to the input of organic matter into the soil, but changes in the amount of soil organic matter are not observed until several years have passed.

[0003] To improve soil fertility and soil quality, turning growing field grasses into the soil is a common practice. Such crops are generally called green manures or cover crops. In conservation tillage systems, these crops are often grown to protect the soil from erosion when normal crops fail to form a cover layer. Therefore, they are called cover crops, which include all crops that protect the soil from wind and water erosion. Cover crops can be annual, biennial, or perennial herbaceous plants, or mixtures of one or more herbaceous plant types. In addition to providing ground protection, legume cover crops can also provide and help suppress weeds, pests, and diseases.

[0004] Research on cover plants to control weeds mainly focuses on the selection of cover plant varieties, and there is little research on the weed control mechanism of cover plants.

[0005] Especially for the management of moisture conservation by cover plants, the existing technology is still at the stage of complete manual cutting and covering. In unmanned farms, if a planting mode utilizing cover plants is to be adopted, there is currently no reliable cover plant management device for unmanned farms. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this application is to address the technical problem in the prior art that, in unmanned farms, if a planting mode utilizing cover plants is to be adopted, there is currently no reliable cover plant management device for unmanned farms.

[0010] The first driving assembly is connected to the plurality of cutting knives and is used to drive the cutting knives to move along the C-shaped sowing groove in a first direction; and

[0011] The second driving assembly is connected to the plurality of cutting knives and is used to drive the cutting knives to move along the C-shaped sowing groove in a second direction, where the second direction is opposite to the first direction.

[0012] Preferably, the baffle is a V-shaped baffle, and the tip of the V-shaped baffle is arranged toward the C-shaped sowing groove.

[0014] Preferably, a fertilizer groove is provided on the C-shaped planting tray, a second irrigation port connected to the irrigation cavity is provided in the fertilizer groove, and a fertilizer overflow channel is connected between the fertilizer groove and the C-shaped sowing groove.

[0015] Preferably, a plurality of partitions are arranged at circumferential intervals in the C-shaped sowing groove, and the interval angle of the plurality of partitions is at least 30°, and the partitions cooperate with the cutting knife in cutting.

The following will further describe the technical solution of this application in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of this application, and this application is not limited to the following specific implementation methods.

In the description of this application, it should be understood that if there are terms such as "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom" and the like indicating an orientation or positional relationship, they are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the terms describing the positional relationship in the drawings are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as limiting this patent. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0035] In a specific embodiment of the present application, Figures 1 to 11 As shown, there is a cover plant management device for unmanned farms, comprising: a C-shaped planting assembly 100, a first drive assembly 200 and a second drive assembly 300;

[0036] The C-shaped planting assembly 100 includes several C-shaped planting trays 110, each of which is provided with a corresponding C-shaped sowing groove 111. A cutting knife 112 is provided in the C-shaped sowing groove 111, and the cutting knife 112 slides along the inner wall of the C-shaped sowing groove 111. The cutting knife 112 can be any shape that can slide along the C-shaped sowing groove 111, preferably a fan ring shape, and the two ends of the fan ring are blades. A support rod 1121 is vertically provided on the upper end face of the cutting knife 112, and a baffle 1122 is provided on the upper end of the support rod 1121, and the baffle 1122 extends obliquely into the C-shaped sowing groove 111.

[0037] The first driving assembly 200 is connected to the plurality of cutting knives 112 and is used to drive the cutting knives 112 to move along the C-shaped sowing groove 111 in a first direction; the first direction may be clockwise movement along the C-shaped sowing groove 111.

[0038] The second drive assembly 300 is connected to the plurality of cutting knives 112 and is configured to drive the cutting knives 112 to move along the C-shaped sowing groove 111 in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The second direction is opposite to the first direction and can be a counterclockwise movement along the C-shaped sowing groove 111.

[0039] In a specific implementation process, the control module of the drive component is connected to the control system of the unmanned farm, and the control module of the drive component controls the first drive component 200 and the second drive component 300 as needed to drive the cutter 112 along the first direction or the second direction as needed. If the grapes are inserted into the C-shaped planting tray 110 from the notch of the C-shaped planting tray 110, and then the C-shaped planting tray 110 is buried at the root of the grapes, so that the C-shaped planting component 100 surrounds the grapes, the first drive component 200 and the second drive component 300 are respectively set at the head and end of several C-shaped planting trays 110 in the same row. When the cover plants grow too vigorously or the cover plants need to be cut to conserve moisture for the grapes, the control module of the drive component controls the first drive component 200 to drive the cutters 112 in a row of several C-shaped planting trays 110 to cut the cover plants together along the first direction, thereby realizing automated management of cover plants. The cutting blade 112 is fan-shaped and has blades at both ends. Therefore, after the cutting blade 112 moves one circle in the first direction, it does not need to be reset. The next time it is used, it only needs to drive the second drive assembly 300 to directly perform the next cutting. According to different crop management nodes of the cover plants, only the first drive assembly 200 and the second drive assembly 300 are needed to achieve unmanned crop management of the cover plants. When the cutting blade 112 moves along the C-shaped sowing groove 111, before the cutting blade 112 cuts off the cover plants, the baffle 1122 presses the cover plants to the C-shaped inner side of the C-shaped planting tray 110 (the roots of the main crops such as grapes). Then the cutting blade 112 cuts off the pressed cover plants, and the cover plants naturally fall into the C-shaped inner side of the C-shaped planting tray 110 (the roots of the main crops such as grapes) under the action of pressure.

[0040] Beneficial effect: According to different crop management nodes of cover plants, it is only necessary to control the first drive component 200 and the second drive component 300 through the control module of the drive component connected to the unmanned farm system, so as to realize unmanned crop management of cover plants. The present application provides a simple structure that can realize unmanned cover crop cutting or moisture conservation and utilization management, filling the gap in the unmanned management application of cover plants in the existing unmanned farm technology. When the cutter 112 moves along the C-shaped sowing groove 111, before the cutter 112 cuts off the cover plants, the baffle 1122 presses the cover plants toward the C-shaped inner side of the C-shaped planting tray 110 (the roots of the grapes), and then the cutter 112 cuts off the pressed cover plants, and the cover plants naturally fall into the C-shaped inner side of the C-shaped planting tray 110 (the roots of the grapes) under the action of pressure, thereby ensuring that the cover plants cut by the cutter 112 can cover the roots of the grapes, covering the grapes for moisture conservation.

[0041] Moisture conservation and utilization management: After the cover plants are cut, they are used to cover the roots of the grapes, and the cut cover plants are used to conserve moisture for the grapes.

[0042] In the above implementation process, if each C-shaped planting component 100 is separately provided with a device for driving the cutting knife 112, such as using a motor gear-rack engagement to control the cutting knife 112 to slide along the inner wall of the C-shaped sowing groove 111, the cost of this method is extremely high, and when this driving method is used under harsh conditions of field operations, it is easy to be damaged, the gear is damaged, and the inspection and maintenance are complicated. In one possible embodiment, the first driving component 200 includes a first auxiliary rope, a first main rope and a first pulling member, one end of the first auxiliary rope is arranged on the cutting knife 112, and the other end is arranged on the first main rope, the first pulling member is arranged on one side of the C-shaped planting component 100, and one end of the first main rope is arranged on the first pulling member;

[0043] The second drive assembly 300 includes a second auxiliary rope, a second main rope and a second pulling member, one end of the second auxiliary rope is set on the cutting knife 112, and the other end is set on the second main rope. The second pulling member is set on the other side of the C-shaped planting assembly 100, and one end of the second main rope is set on the second pulling member. In a specific embodiment, when it is necessary to harvest the covering plants in the C-shaped sowing trough 111, it is only necessary to control the first pulling member, pull the first main rope to drive a plurality of first auxiliary ropes, and the first auxiliary rope drives the corresponding cutting knife 112 to slide along the first direction. During the sliding process, the cutting knife 112 cuts off the growing covering plants. When the cutting knife 112 is driven to the end point of the first direction, in order to return the cutting knife 112 to its position, the second pulling member is controlled to pull the second main rope, and the second main rope drives a plurality of second auxiliary ropes to pull a plurality of cutting knives 112, so that the cutting knife 112 returns to its initial position along the second direction opposite to the first direction, waiting for the next operation of cutting the covering plants. This structure only needs one driving part to pull the cutting knives 112 of a row of C-shaped planting trays 110 together by pulling the main rope. The manufacturing cost is low, and the material used is rope, which is easy to maintain. If necessary, any flexible material that can be tied between the main rope and the cutting knife 112 can be used to replace the first or second auxiliary rope. The flexible material can be made of cloth strips, hemp ropes, etc., and the disconnected parts can be tied and connected.

[0044] During the above implementation, the cutter 112 has blades on both sides and moves along the first and second movement directions. However, the baffle 1122, which extends obliquely into the C-shaped sowing groove 111, can only press the covering plants toward the C-shaped inner side of the C-shaped planting tray 110 in the first or second movement direction, so that the covering plants naturally fall into the C-shaped inner side of the C-shaped planting tray 110 after being cut. In one possible embodiment, the baffle 1122 is a V-shaped baffle, and the tip of the V-shaped baffle is arranged toward the C-shaped sowing groove 111. The V-shaped baffle can press the covering plants toward the C-shaped inner side of the C-shaped planting tray 110 before cutting them in both the first and second movement directions, thereby better achieving the above function.

[0045] In the above implementation process, only the covered plants can be managed. Since the C-shaped planting component 100 of the present application may affect the basic water supply and fertilization operations of the unmanned farm, in order to ensure that the basic water supply and fertilization operations of the unmanned farm system are not affected, in a possible embodiment, an irrigation cavity 113 is provided inside the C-shaped planting tray 110, and the C-shaped planting tray 110 is also provided with a water inlet 114, a water outlet 115 and a first irrigation port 116 connected to the irrigation cavity 113. The first irrigation port 116 is arranged on the C-shaped inner side of the C-shaped planting tray 110. In a specific embodiment, a plurality of the C-shaped planting trays in the unmanned farm are connected in series in sequence, and the heads and tails of the connected C-shaped planting trays are connected to the main pipeline of the unmanned farm irrigation device, that is, the water inlet 114 of the C-shaped planting tray 110 is connected to the water outlet 115 of the adjacent C-shaped planting tray 110 by a pipe, and the water inlet 114 of the starting C-shaped planting tray 110 and the water outlet 115 of the last C-shaped planting tray 110 are connected to the main pipeline of the unmanned farm irrigation device, and fertilizer liquid or water can be injected into the irrigation cavity 113 through the main pipeline of the unmanned farm irrigation device, and the grapes are irrigated and fertilized through the first irrigation port 116 opened in the irrigation cavity 113.

[0046] In the above implementation process, although the management of the cover plants does not need to be as meticulous as that of grapes, basic watering and fertilizing are still required to ensure that the cover plants can reach the scale of forming a cover layer and to ensure that the soil is not eroded. In a possible embodiment, a fertilizer trough 117 is provided on the C-shaped planting tray 110, and a second irrigation port 1171 connected to the irrigation cavity 113 is provided in the fertilizer trough 117. A fertilizer overflow channel 1172 is connected between the fertilizer trough 117 and the C-shaped sowing trough 111. The fertilizer in the fertilizer trough 117 can be dissolved through the second irrigation port 1171, so that the solid nutrients in the fertilizer trough 117 are dissolved and fertilized for the cover plants in the C-shaped sowing trough 111.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, soluble solid nutrients are filled into the fertilizer trough 117 and lightly compacted, and the irrigation device of the unmanned farm injects fertilizer liquid or water into the irrigation cavity 113. The fertilizer liquid or water is injected into the fertilizer trough 117 through the second irrigation port 1171. The fertilizer liquid or water injected into the fertilizer trough 117 will dissolve the solid nutrients. The dissolved solid nutrients are slowly released into the C-shaped sowing trough 111 along with the fertilizer liquid or water along the overflow channel 1172, thereby fertilizing the covered plants in the C-shaped sowing trough 111. There is another possible implementation process. If the overflow fertilizer channel 1172 is higher than the second irrigation port 1171, the dissolved solid nutrients will flow back into the irrigation cavity 113 under the action of the pressure difference. The nutrients flowing back into the irrigation cavity 113 may flow out through the first irrigation port 116 or the second irrigation port 1171 of any C-shaped planting tray 110 due to the connectivity of the liquid in the entire system. The nutrients flowing out through the first irrigation port 116 can reach the roots of the grapes and provide fertilizer for the grapes.

[0048] In the above implementation process, the covering plants are cut directly by driving the cutter 112. If the blade angle of the cutter 112 is not sharp enough, the covering plants may not be cut off, but the stems of the covering plants are pushed down in the C-shaped sowing groove 111. In a possible embodiment, a plurality of partitions 118 are arranged at circumferential intervals in the C-shaped sowing groove 111, and the interval angle of the plurality of partitions 118 is at least 30°. The partitions 118 cooperate with the cutting knife 112 in cutting. In a specific embodiment, after the covering plant grows in the C-shaped sowing groove 111 and reaches the partition 118, it is divided into areas by the partition 118. When the covering plant continues to grow until it needs to be harvested, the cutter 112 is driven. Even if the blade angle of the cutter 112 is not sharp enough to cut the covering plant, the stem of the covering plant is pushed to bend in the C-shaped sowing groove 111. When the covering plant is pushed to the partition 118, the partition 118 supports the stem of the covering plant. Since the partition 118 cooperates with the cutter 112, the stem of the covering plant supported by the partition 118 will be driven to the cutter 112 of the partition 118 for cutting. Under the cutting cooperation of the partition 118 and the cutter 112, the covering plant is cut like scissors.

[0049] Further, such as Figure 8As shown, the two side surfaces of the partition 118 form a first cutting angle with the blade of the cutter 112, and the size of the first cutting angle is 15° to 45°. The size of the first cutting angle is 15° to 45°, which can ensure that the stems of the covering plants are cut off and is more labor-saving. If the first cutting angle is too large, although the stems and leaves of the covering plants can still be cut off, it will be more labor-intensive than the smaller first cutting angle. In addition, if the tip of the first cutting angle points to the outside of the C-shaped planting tray 110, it can also press the stems and leaves of the covering plants toward the inside of the C-shaped planting tray 110 when the cutter 112 cuts toward the partition 118. In this process, the covering plants gather toward the inside of the C-shaped planting tray 110 and are finally cut off.

[0050] Furthermore, a C-shaped fixed bottom ring 119 is provided at the lower end of the C-shaped planting tray 110, and a plurality of fixed spikes 1191 are provided at the lower end of the C-shaped fixed bottom ring 119. When the C-shaped planting tray 110 is buried in the soil, the upper end of the C-shaped fixed bottom ring 119 presses against the soil, which can better press the C-shaped planting tray 110 into the soil. The C-shaped fixed bottom ring 119 is subjected to the pressure of the soil at the upper end, making the C-shaped planting tray 110 more stable in the soil, and the fixed spikes 1191 are inserted into the soil, which prevents the first drive assembly 200 from driving the cutting knife 112 to drive the C-shaped planting tray 110 to rotate in place or be driven to cause linear displacement, so that the C-shaped planting tray 110 is more firmly fixed in the soil.

[0051] Furthermore, the width of the top surface of the C-shaped fixing bottom ring 119 is greater than the side height of the C-shaped planting tray 110. This ensures that the soil covering the C-shaped fixing bottom ring 119 is sufficient and the pressure on the C-shaped fixing bottom ring 119 is sufficient.

[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present application are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present application. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
