[0041] In the prior art, in order to cut off the unnecessary tobacco stems and harvest the upper tobacco leaves, the tobacco leaves are usually harvested manually using sickles, which is inefficient and labor-intensive.

[0042] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides an upper tobacco leaf half-chopped plant harvester.

[0043] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, the upper tobacco leaf half-chopped stem harvester includes a base 1, a traveling mechanism, a cutting mechanism 2, a clamping mechanism 3 and a driving mechanism; the traveling mechanism is arranged on both sides of the lower part of the base 1; the cutting mechanism 2 is arranged on the base 1 to cut the tobacco stems; the clamping mechanism 3 is arranged above the cutting mechanism 2 and can clamp the tobacco stems and guide the cut upper tobacco leaves to be transported in the front-to-back direction; the driving mechanism is arranged on the base 1 to drive the clamping mechanism 3 to transport the cut upper tobacco leaves in the front-to-back direction;

[0044] The technical solution of the present invention is to provide a base 1, a walking mechanism, a cutting mechanism 2, a clamping mechanism 3 and a driving mechanism. The walking mechanism drives the base 1 to move. The cutting mechanism 2 is arranged on the base 1 to cut the middle tobacco stems during the movement. The clamping device is arranged above the cutting mechanism 2, which can clamp the tobacco stems and guide the cut upper tobacco leaves to be transported in the front and back directions, thereby completing the batch automatic collection of tobacco, reducing the labor intensity of farmers, and selectively collecting the required upper tobacco leaves to achieve one-time stem harvesting.

[0045] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the upper tobacco leaf half-chopped plant harvester also includes a collecting mechanism 4 arranged behind the clamping mechanism 3, and the collecting device includes a horizontally arranged base plate 41 and side plates respectively arranged vertically on both sides of the base plate 41, for collecting the upper tobacco leaves guided and transported by the clamping mechanism 3; it can be understood that, in order to facilitate installation, the side plates in the present invention are arranged vertically, and in order to expand the area for receiving the upper tobacco leaves, the side plates can also be adaptively tilted in the direction away from the other side plate. The present invention does not limit the inclination angle, and the angle between the side plate and the vertical direction can be 15°, 30° or 45°, as long as the receiving area can be expanded.

[0046] See also Figure 3In one embodiment of the present invention, the cutting mechanism 2 includes a fixed plate 21, a movable plate and at least one cutting knife 23; it can be understood that the middle tobacco stem is the part that needs to be cut, and the upper tobacco leaves are the part that needs to be collected. The fixed plate 21 is fixed to the side of the base 1 and is located below the clamping mechanism 3, so as to correspond to the middle tobacco stem; the movable plate 22 is movably installed to the upper end surface of the fixed plate 21 along the left and right directions; the cutting knife 23 includes two blades that cooperate with each other. It can be understood that the two blades are close to each other, and the cutting edges of the two blades are opposite to each other. They are respectively fixed to the fixed plate 21 and the movable plate 22, so as to cooperate with each other to cut the middle tobacco stem when the movable plate 22 moves. Among them, the cutting mechanism 2 also includes a cutting motor and a crank-connecting rod mechanism, the cutting motor output shaft is rotatably connected to the crank, and the connecting rod is connected to the movable plate 22, so as to drive the movable plate 22 to perform periodic reciprocating motion in the left and right directions when the cutting motor rotates, wherein the crank-connecting rod structure can also be adaptably replaced by a ball screw structure, and the present invention does not impose any restrictions on this, as long as the rotation can be converted into linear motion; it can be understood that since the planting spacing of tobacco is set, by reasonably setting the cutting motor speed and the traveling speed of the walking mechanism, the upper tobacco leaf half-chopped plant harvester can make the cutting motor and the movable plate 22 approach the fixed plate 21 when approaching the tobacco to perform a cutting action; after cutting a tobacco plant, the upper tobacco leaf half-chopped plant harvester moves to the next tobacco plant, and at this time the cutting motor drives the movable plate 22 to move away from the fixed plate 21, thereby completing automatic cutting and separation. In addition, a limiting baffle can be added on both sides of the movable plate 22 to limit the movable plate 22 and prevent the movable plate 22 from colliding with the two sides of the base 1. It can also be used to reduce the movable stroke of the blade and increase the frequency of shearing. In another embodiment of the present invention, the movable plate 22 can be set as two, and the two movable plates 22 are respectively mounted on the upper end surface and the lower end surface of the fixed plate 21 in a left-right direction. The cutting knife 23 includes two blades that cooperate with each other, and the blades of the two blades are opposite to each other. The two blades are respectively mounted on the two movable plates 22 so that when the two movable plates 22 move, they cooperate with each other to cut the tobacco leaves together.

[0047] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, the position of each tobacco plant is not fixed. In order to expand the cutting range, multiple cutting knives 23 are provided, which are arranged at intervals in the left and right directions, so as to cut tobacco at different positions, avoiding the need to adjust the orientation of the harvester and affecting the harvesting efficiency.

[0048] In another embodiment of the present invention, it can be understood that the upper tobacco leaf half-chopped plant harvester harvests the upper tobacco leaves, and the tobacco stems located in the middle will block the movement of the upper tobacco leaf half-chopped plant harvester. There are two cutting mechanisms, which are spaced apart in the upper and lower directions, and the upper cutting mechanism is used to correspond to the upper end of the tobacco stem, and the lower cutting mechanism is used to correspond to the lower end of the tobacco stem, so that the tobacco stem is cut off during the movement, so that the upper tobacco leaf half-chopped plant harvester can move forward. At the same time, by setting two cutting mechanisms, the upper tobacco leaves are completely obtained and the rapid passing rate of the equipment is improved.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping mechanism 3 includes two clamping components, each clamping component includes a conveyor belt 31 and a plurality of protrusions 32; the conveyor belt 31 has a conveying surface extending in the up-down direction to increase the contact area with the tobacco leaves; the plurality of protrusions 32 are arranged at intervals on the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 31; wherein, the two conveyor belts 31 jointly define a clamping channel extending in the front-back direction, and the conveying surfaces of the two conveyor belts 31 are arranged toward each other in the section of the clamping channel, so that at least part of the protrusions 32 can move into the clamping channel, which can be understood Yes, the protrusions 32 on the two conveyor belts 31 can be arranged to be distributed alternately in sequence, and a clamping space is formed between a protrusion 32 on the first conveyor belt 31 and an adjacent protrusion 32 on the second conveyor belt 31, and the spacing between the two protrusions 32 can be optionally set to 1.5cm-3cm, so as to clamp the upper tobacco leaves during the passage of the upper tobacco leaves with stems; in addition, the front end of the clamping channel is arranged corresponding to the cutting mechanism 2 in the vertical direction, so that when the cutting mechanism 2 cuts the middle tobacco stems, the clamping mechanism 3 can synchronously clamp the upper tobacco leaves to prevent the tobacco rods from tipping over. In another embodiment of the present invention, the clamping mechanism 3 includes a conveyor belt, multiple suction cups and a vacuum pump. The conveyor belt has a conveying surface extending in the front-to-back direction, and at least a portion of the conveying surface is designed with micropores. The multiple suction cups are arranged below the conveying surface and corresponding to the micropores to adsorb the upper tobacco leaves; when the conveyor belt moves, the vacuum pump starts to extract air from the suction cups to form a negative pressure area; after the upper tobacco leaves are cut and placed on the conveyor belt, the negative pressure acts on the bottom of the tobacco leaves through the micropores on the surface of the conveyor belt and the suction cups, generating an adsorption force, so that the tobacco leaves stick to the conveyor belt and are conveyed in the front-to-back direction.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, in order to better clamp the tobacco rods, if the width of the clamping channel is set to be smaller, it will be inconvenient for the tobacco rods to enter. For this reason, each of the conveyor belts 31 has an extension section 34 located on the front side of the clamping channel, and the extension sections 34 of the two conveyor belts 31 are set at an angle. By setting the angle, the range of the clamping mechanism 3 to receive the tobacco rods is expanded, so that the clamping effect is better; it can be understood that the angle can be changed according to the actual tobacco planting conditions, and can be 45°, 90° or 135°. The present invention does not limit the specific value of the angle.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, since tobacco leaves are relatively soft and easily scratched by sharp objects, each of the protrusions 32 is formed with at least one matching bevel 321 at the end facing away from the corresponding conveying surface. This matching bevel 321 may be formed between the end and the forward-facing surface of the protrusion 32, and / or between the end and the rearward-facing surface of the protrusion 32. This ensures that the protrusion 32 and the tobacco rod are in mostly surface contact, reducing damage to the tobacco leaves and improving their quality. It is understood that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific angle of the bevel 321, as long as it reduces sharpness.

[0052] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, due to the differences in individual tobacco leaves and the problem of installation accuracy, the distance between some adjacent protrusions 32 is small, which causes squeezing of the upper tobacco leaves. For this reason, the protrusions 32 are set to be a flexible material to reduce the squeezing of the upper tobacco leaves; wherein, the flexible material can be rubber, resin or other elastomers. In this embodiment, the flexible material is rubber, which is soft, low in cost, easy to process, and has good stability.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, since the upper tobacco leaves with stems are generally longer, if a single clamping mechanism 3 is used to clamp the tobacco rod, the tobacco rod can easily be squeezed and tipped over during the clamping process. The clamping mechanism 3 is provided in plurality and is distributed at intervals in the vertical direction, thereby clamping multiple parts of the tobacco rod in the vertical direction, preventing the tobacco rod from tipping over and increasing the tobacco leaf collection rate.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, each clamping assembly further comprises a tensioning structure 35, wherein the tensioning structure 35 comprises a mounting rod 351 extending in the front-rear direction, and the length of the mounting rod 351 is adjustable; each clamping structure further comprises a plurality of rotating wheels 352 rotating along an axis extending in the upper and lower directions, wherein two of the rotating wheels 352 are connected by the mounting rod 351; the corresponding conveyor belt 31 is sleeved on the outside of the plurality of rotating wheels 352; by sleeved on the outside of the plurality of rotating wheels 352, the conveyor belt 31 is tensioned, and in order to adjust the tensioning force, a mounting rod 351 is provided between two of the rotating wheels 352. In this embodiment, a mounting wheel is provided between two rotating wheels 352 at both ends of the plurality of rotating wheels 352, so as to better adjust the overall tensioning degree; the mounting rod 351 can be a sleeve-type design, that is, the mounting The rod 351 body is composed of two layers of inner and outer sleeves, and the inner tube can be telescoped into the outer tube and fixed at the required length by a locking mechanism (such as a lock, button lock, rotary lock, etc.); the mounting rod 351 can also be thread-adjustable, that is, one end or both ends of the mounting rod 351 are designed with internal and external threads, and the rod is telescoped by rotating a nut or a nut; by adjusting the length of the mounting rod 351, the tensioning degree of the conveyor belt 31 is adjusted. It can be understood that when the length of the mounting rod 351 is reduced, the tensioning effect of the rotating wheel 352 on the conveyor belt 31 is reduced, and the tensioning degree of the conveyor belt 31 is reduced, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the conveyor belt 31; in addition, in another embodiment of the present invention, in order to better tension the key parts of the conveyor belt 31, at least two of the multiple rotating wheels 352 are correspondingly arranged at the front end of the clamping channel and the rear end of the clamping channel.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present invention, the walking mechanism includes multiple sets of wheels, wheel seats, steering wheels and drive motors; each set of wheels is mounted on both sides of the lower part of the base 1 in pairs and connected by axles, and the drive motor is connected to each axle through a belt transmission to drive the wheels to rotate; and at least one set of wheels is mounted on the wheel seat, and the wheel seat is rotatably mounted on one side of the base 1. The wheel seat has an outer ring gear and cooperates with the steering wheel transmission, and the steering wheel is used to drive the wheel seat to rotate, thereby controlling the steering action of the wheel. It can be understood that the multiple sets of wheels are at least two sets to maintain the balance of the base 1, and in order to increase the carrying capacity, multiple sets of wheels can be adaptively set. The present invention does not limit the specific number of sets.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the upper tobacco leaf half-chopped plant harvester is moving, by reasonably setting the cutting motor speed and the driving motor speed, the cutting cycle of the cutting mechanism 2 and the travel speed of the walking mechanism are controlled, so that when the upper tobacco leaf half-chopped plant harvester approaches the tobacco, the movable plate 22 of the cutting motor approaches the fixed plate 21 to perform a cutting action; after cutting a tobacco plant, the upper tobacco leaf half-chopped plant harvester moves to the next tobacco plant, and at this time the cutting motor drives the movable plate 22 to move away from the fixed plate 21, thereby completing automatic cutting and separation; after the upper tobacco leaves are cut, they synchronously enter the clamping space of the clamping mechanism 3, clamp the tobacco leaves in the front and back directions and send them to the collection mechanism 4 at the rear to complete the harvesting.

[0057] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
