Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of agricultural automated machinery, and in particular to a rubber collecting device and a rubber collecting vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Due to its unique, excellent, and irreplaceable natural properties, natural rubber is widely used in both daily necessities and industrial products, playing a vital role in the development of modern society. Currently, the primary method for obtaining natural rubber, both domestically and internationally, relies on manual tapping and harvesting. This labor-intensive and inefficient process means that even with the dedicated efforts of numerous rubber farmers, the resulting rubber output still cannot meet the enormous demand for natural rubber. Therefore, there is an urgent need to change the traditional manual tapping and harvesting methods. Currently, rubber plantations across the country have begun adopting intelligent and automated tapping technologies. However, after tapping, the task of harvesting remains. Currently, automated harvesting has not been implemented in the rubber industry. The latex collectors used in intelligent tapping technologies still use traditional rubber cups, and rubber workers typically pour latex from handheld cups into a rubber bucket. Harvesting rubber is a relatively mechanical task, requiring little skill but requiring significant physical effort, making it a typical manual labor. However, automated harvesting is not currently available in rubber production, and the harvesting process suffers from significant human resource consumption and high labor costs. Therefore, achieving mechanized harvesting is an urgent issue that needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a rubber collecting device and a rubber collecting vehicle, which can solve the problem that existing rubber collecting cannot be mechanized.

[0004] An embodiment of the present application provides a rubber collection device, comprising: a fixed bracket, a rubber collection bowl and a flip mechanism, the fixed bracket being suitable for being fixed to a rubber tree or near a rubber tree; the rubber collection bowl being used to collect rubber; the flip mechanism being installed on the fixed bracket, and comprising a flip arm, a first shifting rod and a transmission assembly, the first shifting rod being suitable for being pushed and rotated by a rubber collection vehicle, the first shifting rod being connected to the flip arm through the transmission assembly, the rubber collection bowl being connected to the flip arm, the first shifting rod being able to drive the flip arm to rotate through the transmission assembly, so that the flip arm can drive the rubber collection bowl to flip to dump the rubber into the rubber collection vehicle.

[0005] In the above implementation process, based on the rubber collecting device of this solution, during the rubber collecting operation, the rubber collecting vehicle drives past each rubber collecting device in sequence, thereby collecting the rubber in multiple rubber collecting devices. Among them, the rubber collecting vehicle can be manually driven or an unmanned vehicle equipped with an adaptive cruise system, which is equipped with a rubber storage hopper capable of loading rubber, and the collected rubber is placed in the rubber storage hopper. If an unmanned vehicle is used, automatic rubber collection can be achieved to the greatest extent. Even if the vehicle is manually driven to collect rubber, the driver does not need to get off the vehicle frequently to pour the rubber. He only needs to drive the vehicle past each rubber collecting device in sequence. Therefore, mechanized rubber collection is achieved, which greatly reduces manpower input. At the same time, since manual pouring of rubber is not required, the rubber collection efficiency is effectively accelerated.

[0006] In addition, the glue collecting device provided in this solution consists of simple structures such as a fixed bracket, a glue collecting bowl, and a flipping mechanism. Furthermore, the flipping mechanism does not require a separate drive device and can be directly driven by the moving glue collecting vehicle. Therefore, the glue collecting device provided in this solution also has the advantages of simple structure, few failure points, durability, low cost, and suitability for wide promotion. The functional requirements for the glue collecting vehicle are also simple. It only needs to be equipped with a glue storage hopper for storing rubber and a structure that can adapt to the rotation of the first lever that drives the flipping mechanism. For example, it can be part of the vehicle body or a rod added to the side of the vehicle body. There is no need to set up complex, high-cost, and easily damaged structures such as a manipulator, so the cost of the entire glue collecting equipment is not high.

[0007] In some embodiments, the rotation center axis of the first shift lever and the rotation center axis of the flip arm are arranged perpendicular to each other.

[0008] In the above implementation process, the rotation center axis of the first shifting rod is set to be perpendicular to the rotation center axis of the flipping arm, which can just enable the rubber collecting bowl to be located on the left or right side of the rubber collecting vehicle and flipped to dump the rubber onto the rubber collecting vehicle, avoiding the interference problem between the driving direction of the rubber collecting vehicle and the rubber collecting device, so that the rubber collecting vehicle can travel in a straight line to complete the rubber collecting process without complicated turning, reversing and other operations.

[0009] In some embodiments, the transmission assembly includes a driving bevel gear and a driven bevel gear respectively rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket, the driving bevel gear is engaged with the driven bevel gear, the first shift rod is fixedly connected to the driving bevel gear, and the flip arm is fixedly connected to the driven bevel gear.

[0010] In the above implementation, the meshing transmission of the driving bevel gear and the driven bevel gear, both bevel gears, precisely ensures that the input axis and the output axis are perpendicular to each other, thus satisfying the aforementioned requirement of setting the rotational axis of the first lever perpendicular to the rotational axis of the flip arm. Furthermore, bevel gear transmission features a stable transmission ratio and high transmission efficiency. Because the driving bevel gear and the driven bevel gear directly mesh, energy loss during transmission is minimal, ensuring sufficient rotational power for the flip arm. The bevel gear transmission is compact and space-saving. In space-constrained applications such as rubber collection devices, it helps reduce the overall size of the device and facilitates installation and fixturing.

[0011] In some embodiments, the fixed bracket includes a bracket body, a first adapter block, a second adapter block and a third adapter block, the first adapter block includes a first fixed plate, a second fixed plate and a third fixed plate connected in a "Z" shape in sequence, the first fixed plate is fixedly connected to the bracket body, and the second adapter block is fixedly connected to the side of the third fixed plate away from the second fixed plate, so that a first rotation installation space is formed between the second adapter block and the second fixed plate; the third adapter block is fixedly connected to the side of the second adapter block close to the first adapter block, so that the side of the third adapter block close to the first adapter block forms a second rotation installation space connected to the first rotation installation space; the active bevel gear is rotatably installed in the first rotation installation space, and the rotating shaft of the active bevel gear is rotatably connected to the first adapter block and / or the second adapter block; the driven bevel gear is rotatably installed in the second rotation installation space, and the rotating shaft of the driven bevel gear is rotatably connected to the first adapter block and / or the third adapter block.

[0012] In the above implementation process, the first adapter block adopts a "Z"-shaped connection design, that is, the first fixed plate, the second fixed plate and the third fixed plate are connected in sequence at right angles or approximately right angles. This design not only makes the structure more compact, but also cleverly utilizes space, providing the necessary conditions for the installation of the transmission assembly. The second adapter block is fixedly connected to the side of the third fixed plate away from the second fixed plate. The first rotating installation space formed between it and the second fixed plate can just accommodate the active bevel gear, so as to provide a stable and reliable installation environment for the active bevel gear. Specifically, one end or both ends of the rotating shaft of the active bevel gear can be installed on the second fixed plate and / or the second adapter block. The third adapter block is fixedly connected to the side of the second adapter block close to the first adapter block to form a second rotating installation space. This space is connected to the first rotating installation space, providing a position for the installation of the driven bevel gear. Since the driven bevel gear needs to engage with the active bevel gear, this layout can ensure the correct meshing relationship between the two.

[0013] Therefore, the design of the fixed bracket of this embodiment fully considers the installation requirements and space utilization of the transmission component. Through the clever layout of the adapter block and the "Z"-shaped structure design, the transmission component is compactly installed and efficiently transmitted in the vertical direction. This design not only improves the stability and reliability of the glue collecting device, but also reduces the manufacturing cost and maintenance difficulty.

[0014] In some embodiments, the plastic collecting bowl includes a plastic bowl bracket and a plastic bowl body, the plastic bowl body is mounted on the plastic bowl bracket, the plastic bowl bracket is rotatably connected to the flip arm, and the center of gravity of the plastic collecting bowl is located below the rotation center axis of the plastic bowl bracket, so that during the flipping of the flip arm, the bowl mouth of the plastic bowl body is always facing upward;

[0015] The fixing bracket is also equipped with a bowl flipping rod, which is used to push the rubber collecting bowl tightly at the glue pouring position, so that the continuously rotating flip arm can drive the rubber collecting bowl to flip and pour the rubber into the rubber collecting vehicle.

[0016] In the above implementation, the rubber collection bowl consists of a bowl support and a bowl body. The bowl body is mounted on the bowl support and is responsible for actually carrying the rubber. This split design allows for easy replacement or cleaning of the bowl body, while the bowl support provides a stable support structure. Of particular note, the bowl support is pivotally connected to the flip arm, and the center of gravity of the rubber collection bowl is designed to be located below the bowl support's central axis of rotation. This design plays a key role in the flip arm's rotation process, ensuring that the bowl mouth of the rubber collection bowl always faces upward regardless of the flip arm's rotation. This feature prevents rubber from spilling during the flipping process.

[0017] To ensure proper tipping and dumping of the rubber bowl in the correct position, a tipping rod is mounted on the fixed bracket. This rod presses against the rubber bowl in the dumping position. When the tilting arm rotates to the dumping position, the tipping rod contacts and presses against a certain part of the rubber bowl (usually the bottom or side of the bowl bracket). If the tilting arm continues to rotate, the tipping rod acts as a fulcrum, allowing the rotational force of the tilting arm to drive the rubber bowl to flip. Under the action of the tipping rod, the rubber bowl is flipped to a certain angle, tilting the bowl mouth, and the rubber pours into the rubber collection vehicle due to gravity. Therefore, the rubber collection device of this embodiment, through the ingenious design of the rubber collection bowl, tilting arm, and tipping rod, achieves efficient rubber collection and dumping, while also preventing the problem of rubber accidentally pouring out of the rubber collection vehicle during the tipping process.

[0018] In some embodiments, the plastic bowl bracket includes a plastic bowl support rod and a plastic bowl seat, one end of the plastic bowl support rod is rotatably connected to the flip arm, and the other end is fixedly connected to the plastic bowl support rod, and the plastic bowl body is fixed in the plastic bowl seat.

[0019] In the above implementation process, a rubber bowl support rod is set to connect between the rubber bowl seat and the flip arm, which can keep a large distance between the rubber bowl seat and the flip arm, so that the rubber bowl seat has sufficient space to move, avoiding interference and collision problems during the flipping process.

[0020] In some embodiments, a flip paddle is fixed to the middle of the plastic bowl support rod, and the flip paddle is used to cooperate with the flip bowl top rod. The flip bowl top rod presses the flip paddle tightly, so that the flip arm that continues to rotate can drive the plastic collecting bowl to flip.

[0021] In this implementation, the design of the flip paddle enables the flipping rod to more directly and effectively transmit the flipping force to the plastic collecting bowl. This helps reduce friction and resistance during the flipping process, improving flipping stability and reliability. By securing the flip paddle to the center of the plastic collecting bowl support rod, the flipping rod is prevented from directly contacting vulnerable parts of the plastic collecting bowl body or bowl base. This helps reduce damage caused by mechanical impact and prolongs the service life of the plastic collecting bowl. The flip paddle's location (center) also takes into account the optimization of spatial layout. It allows the flipping rod to effectively cooperate with the flip paddle to complete the flipping action without interfering with other components.

[0022] In some embodiments, the flipping mechanism also includes a first torsion spring, which includes a first torsion arm and a second torsion arm at an angle to each other; the flip bowl top rod is rotatably installed on the fixed bracket, the first torsion arm is fixedly connected to the flip bowl top rod, and the second torsion arm is fixedly connected to the flip arm, so that the rotating flip arm can push the flip bowl top rod to rotate through the first torsion spring; the fixed bracket is also provided with a first limit block for limiting the rotation angle of the flip bowl top rod, and under the limiting action of the first limit block, the flip bowl top rod can remain fixed in the glue pouring position to tighten the glue collecting bowl.

[0023] In the above implementation process, the flip bowl top rod can be rotated to a position avoiding the driving path of the glue collecting vehicle before collecting the glue, so as to avoid the problem of the flip bowl top rod being hit by the glue collecting vehicle. At the same time, during the glue collecting process, the flip arm can be rotated to drive the flip bowl top rod to rotate to the top bowl position.

[0024] In some embodiments, the flip bowl push rod includes a push rod member and a push rod support, the push rod support includes a first tube portion and a second tube portion vertically connected to each other, the first tube portion is rotatably connected to the fixed bracket, and the push rod member is inserted and fixed to the second tube portion.

[0025] In the above implementation process, the push rod support is composed of a first tube portion and a second tube portion that are vertically connected to each other, so that the push rod member can be set parallel to the flip arm while the rotation centers of the two can coincide, thereby realizing the function of the flip arm smoothly driving the push rod member to rotate. At the same time, the first torsion spring can be mounted on the first tube portion, and the first tube portion is used to provide rotational support for the first torsion spring.

[0026] In some embodiments, the fixed bracket includes a positioning block and a bracket body, the positioning block is suitable for being fixed to one side of a rubber tree; the bracket body includes a first rod, a second rod and a third rod that are perpendicular to each other, the first rod is horizontally arranged, and one end thereof is fixedly connected to the positioning block; one end of the second rod is fixedly connected to the end of the first rod away from the positioning block, and the other end extends vertically upward; one end of the third rod is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second rod, and the other end extends in a direction away from the side where the positioning block is located, and the transmission assembly is installed at one end of the third rod away from the second rod.

[0027] In the above implementation, the main frame of the bracket is composed of a first rod, a second rod, and a third rod, each of which is perpendicular to each other. This design is both stable and compact. The support of the first rod allows the transmission assembly to maintain a sufficient distance from the rubber tree, providing sufficient horizontal space between the transmission assembly and the rubber collection bowl. The support of the second and third rods allows the transmission assembly to be offset from the first rod in both vertical and horizontal directions, thereby providing sufficient space for the flip arm to flip.

[0028] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present application provides a rubber collection vehicle for collecting rubber in cooperation with the above-mentioned rubber collection device; the rubber collection vehicle includes a frame, a rubber storage hopper and a lever assembly, the rubber storage hopper is mounted on the frame to collect rubber; the lever assembly is mounted on the frame and extends from one side to push the first lever of the rubber collection device to rotate.

[0029] In the above implementation process, the lever assembly provided on the rubber collection vehicle is installed on the vehicle frame and extends from one side. This design enables the lever assembly to easily contact the first lever of the rubber collection device, thereby driving it to rotate.

[0030] In some embodiments, the detent assembly includes a detent fixing seat, a detent support, a second detent rod and a second torsion spring, the detent fixing seat being fixed to the vehicle frame, the detent support being rotatably mounted on the detent fixing seat, the second torsion spring including a third torsion arm and a fourth torsion arm forming an angle with each other, the third torsion arm being fixedly connected to the second detent rod, and the fourth torsion arm being fixed to the detent fixing seat, the detent support being provided with a second limit block for limiting the rotation angle of the second detent rod, the second torsion spring being able to push the detent support seat so as to keep it abutting against the second limit block, thereby keeping the second detent rod in a position capable of cooperating to push the first detent rod; and when the force acting on the second detent rod is greater than the elastic force of the second torsion spring, the second detent rod can drive the detent rod support seat to rotate around the detent rod fixing seat.

[0031] In the above implementation, when the second lever contacts the first lever during driving, the spring torque provided by the second torsion spring is greater than the rotational resistance of the first lever, allowing the second lever to remain stable and easily push the first lever for rotation. When encountering an obstacle such as a tree or rock, the backward force exerted on the second lever by the obstacle exceeds the torque provided by the second torsion spring. In this case, the second lever can drive the lever support to rotate around the lever mounting bracket, overcoming the torque of the second torsion spring, thereby preventing the risk of the second lever being broken. Therefore, the lever assembly of this solution is configured to be movable, providing the normal function of pushing the first lever for rotation while also being able to automatically circumvent obstacles for self-protection.

[0045] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0046] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings. At the same time, in the description of this application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0047] Reference Figure 1-10The embodiment of the present application provides a rubber collecting device, comprising: a fixed bracket 1, a rubber collecting bowl 2 and a flip mechanism 3, the fixed bracket 1 is suitable for being fixed to a rubber tree 4 or near a rubber tree 4; the rubber collecting bowl 2 is used to collect rubber; the flip mechanism 3 is installed on the fixed bracket 1, and comprises a flip arm 31, a first shifting rod 32 and a transmission assembly 34, the first shifting rod 32 is suitable for being pushed and rotated by a rubber collecting vehicle 5, the first shifting rod 32 is connected to the flip arm 31 through the transmission assembly 34, the rubber collecting bowl 2 is connected to the flip arm 31, the first shifting rod 32 can drive the flip arm 31 to rotate through the transmission assembly 34, so that the flip arm 31 can drive the rubber collecting bowl 2 to flip to dump the rubber into the rubber collecting vehicle 5.

[0048] Specifically, the fixed bracket 1 is used to provide support for the rubber collecting bowl 2 and the tilting mechanism 3. Depending on the actual installation environment, the fixed bracket 1 can be set to be fixed directly to the trunk of the rubber tree 4 or fixed to a position near the rubber tree 4, so that the rubber collecting bowl 2 can be close to the rubber tree 4 to collect the harvested rubber. Setting an appropriate fixed bracket 1 structure according to the specific installation location is also easy for those skilled in the art to implement, and this solution will not be repeated here.

[0049] The focus of the rubber collecting device of this scheme is to facilitate the automatic dumping of the rubber in the rubber collecting bowl 2 onto the rubber collecting vehicle 5. Therefore, the core of the scheme is to set a flipping mechanism 3 that can drive the rubber collecting bowl 2 to flip by the drive of the rubber collecting vehicle 5. Specifically, a flipping arm 31, a first shifting rod 32 and a transmission assembly 34 and other structures are set. When the rubber collecting vehicle 5 passes by the rubber collecting device, the rubber collecting vehicle 5 can push the first shifting rod 32 to rotate. Under the transmission action of the transmission assembly 34, the rotating first shifting rod 32 will drive the flipping arm 31 to rotate, thereby causing the rubber collecting bowl 2 containing rubber installed on the flipping arm 31 to flip, thereby realizing automatic dumping of the rubber into the rubber collecting vehicle 5.

[0050] In order to ensure that the rubber collection vehicle 5 has a sufficiently large rubber storage capacity, its height is generally set relatively high. Therefore, when pouring rubber, it is necessary to rely on the flip arm 31 to lift the rubber collection bowl 2 to the rubber pouring port on the top of the rubber collection vehicle 5. Preferably, the rubber collection bowl 2 is connected to the end of the flip arm 31 away from the transmission assembly 34. Since the flip arm 31 itself has a certain length, the rubber collection bowl 2 will be driven to rise or fall during the flipping process of the flip arm 31. Connecting the rubber collection bowl 2 to the end of the flip arm 31 away from the transmission assembly 34 can just provide the rubber collection bowl 2 with the maximum up and down travel, so that the position of the rubber collection bowl 2 can be as low as possible at the rubber connection position corresponding to the rubber tree 4 to accommodate the rubber collection of low-cut rubber trees 4. At the same time, after flipping, the rubber collection bowl 2 can be lifted high enough to ensure that the rubber can be poured smoothly and accurately onto the rubber collection vehicle 5.

[0051] The rubber collecting device of this program is fixed on rubber tree 4 or near rubber tree 4, so it is understandable that each rubber tree 4 needs to install a corresponding rubber collecting device, and the rubber collected can be temporarily stored in the rubber collecting bowl 2. During the rubber collecting operation, the rubber collecting vehicle 5 passes in sequence near each rubber collecting device, and the rubber in multiple rubber collecting devices can be collected. Wherein, the rubber collecting vehicle 5 can be manually driven, or it can be an unmanned vehicle equipped with an adaptive cruise system, which is equipped with a rubber storage hopper 52 that can load rubber, and the collected rubber is contained in the rubber storage hopper 52. If unmanned vehicle is adopted, automatic rubber collecting can be realized to the greatest extent, even if it is manually driven vehicle collecting rubber, the driver does not need to frequently get off the car to pour glue, only needs to drive the vehicle in sequence through each rubber collecting device, so mechanized rubber collecting is realized, and manpower input is reduced to a great extent. Simultaneously, owing to not needing manual pouring of glue, the rubber collecting efficiency is also effectively accelerated.

[0052] Furthermore, the glue collecting device provided in this solution consists of a simple structure consisting of a fixed bracket 1, a glue collecting bowl 2, and a flipping mechanism 3. Furthermore, the flipping mechanism 3 does not require a separate drive device and can be directly driven by the moving glue collecting vehicle 5. Therefore, the glue collecting device provided in this solution clearly has the advantages of simple structure, few failure points, durability, low cost, and suitability for widespread deployment. The functional requirements for the glue collecting vehicle 5 are also simple. It only needs to be equipped with a glue storage hopper 52 capable of storing rubber and a structure capable of rotating the first lever 32 of the flipping mechanism 3. This can be a part of the vehicle body or a rod additionally provided on the side of the vehicle body. There is no need for a complex, high-cost, and easily damaged structure such as a manipulator, resulting in a low cost for the entire glue collecting device.

[0053] In some embodiments, the rotation center axis of the first shifting lever 32 and the rotation center axis of the flip arm 31 are perpendicular to each other.

[0054] Specifically, the rotation center axis of the first shifting rod 32 is set to be perpendicular to the rotation center axis of the flipping arm 31, so that the rubber collecting bowl 2 can be located on the left or right side of the rubber collecting vehicle 5 and flipped to dump the rubber onto the rubber collecting vehicle 5, avoiding the interference problem between the driving direction of the rubber collecting vehicle 5 and the rubber collecting device, so that the rubber collecting vehicle 5 can travel in a straight line to complete the rubber collecting process without complicated turning, reversing and other operations.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 , it is assumed that the rubber collecting vehicle 5 moves in a straight line in the x-axis direction, the rubber tree 4 and the rubber collecting device are located on one side of the travel path of the rubber collecting vehicle 5, and the y-axis is perpendicular to the x-axis. During the travel of the rubber collecting vehicle 5, when it contacts the first lever 32, it will gradually push the first lever 32 to rotate about the y-axis. Under the transmission of the transmission assembly 34, the flip arm 31 and the rubber collecting bowl 2 will rotate around the x-axis direction, so that the rubber is dumped into the rubber collecting vehicle 5 from the left or right side of the rubber collecting vehicle 5.

[0056] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4-6 The transmission assembly 34 includes a driving bevel gear 341 and a driven bevel gear 342 which are respectively rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket 1, the driving bevel gear 341 is engaged with the driven bevel gear 342, the first shifting rod 32 is fixedly connected to the driving bevel gear 341, and the flip arm 31 is fixedly connected to the driven bevel gear 342.

[0057] The meshing transmission mechanism employs a driving bevel gear 341 and a driven bevel gear 342, both bevel gears, precisely aligning the input and output axes perpendicularly to each other. This satisfies the aforementioned requirement for the rotational axis of the first lever 32 to be perpendicular to the rotational axis of the flip arm 31. Furthermore, bevel gear transmission offers a stable transmission ratio and high efficiency. Because the driving bevel gear 341 and the driven bevel gear 342 directly mesh, energy loss during transmission is minimal, ensuring sufficient rotational power for the flip arm 31. The bevel gear transmission also features a compact structure and small footprint. In space-constrained applications like rubber collection devices, it helps reduce the overall size of the device, facilitating installation and securement.

[0058] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The fixed bracket 1 includes a bracket body 11, a first adapter block 13, a second adapter block 14 and a third adapter block 15. The first adapter block 13 includes a first fixing plate 131, a second fixing plate 132 and a third fixing plate 133 connected in a "Z" shape. The first fixing plate 131 is fixedly connected to the bracket body 11. The second adapter block 14 is fixedly connected to the side of the third fixing plate 133 away from the second fixing plate 132, so that a first rotation installation space is formed between the second adapter block 14 and the second fixing plate 132; the third adapter block 15 is fixedly connected to the The second adapter block 14 is close to one side of the first adapter block 13, so that the side of the third adapter block 15 close to the first adapter block 13 forms a second rotating installation space connected to the first rotating installation space; the active bevel gear 341 is rotatably installed in the first rotating installation space, and the rotating shaft of the active bevel gear 341 is rotatably connected to the first adapter block 13 and / or the second adapter block 14; the driven bevel gear 342 is rotatably installed in the second rotating installation space, and the rotating shaft of the driven bevel gear 342 is rotatably connected to the first adapter block 13 and / or the third adapter block 15.

[0059] The bracket body 11 serves as the basis of the entire fixed bracket 1 and provides stable support. The first adapter block 13 is fixedly connected to the bracket body 11 through its first fixing plate 131. This connection method ensures the stability of the first adapter block 13 on the bracket body 11.

[0060] The first adapter block 13 utilizes a "Z"-shaped connection design, where the first, second, and third fixing plates 131, 132, and 133 are sequentially connected at right angles or approximately right angles. This design not only makes the structure more compact but also cleverly utilizes space, providing the necessary conditions for the installation of the transmission assembly 34. The second adapter block 14 is fixedly connected to the side of the third fixing plate 133 away from the second fixing plate 132. The first rotating installation space formed between the second adapter block 14 and the second fixing plate 132 can precisely accommodate the driving bevel gear 341, providing a stable and reliable installation environment for the driving bevel gear 341. Specifically, one or both ends of the rotating shaft of the driving bevel gear 341 can be mounted to the second fixing plate 132 and / or the second adapter block 14. The third adapter block 15 is fixedly connected to the side of the second adapter block 14 close to the first adapter block 13, forming a second rotation installation space. This space is connected to the first rotation installation space and provides a position for the installation of the driven bevel gear 342. Since the driven bevel gear 342 needs to engage with the driving bevel gear 341, this layout can ensure the correct meshing relationship between the two.

[0061] The driving bevel gear 341 is rotatably mounted in the first rotatable mounting space, with its rotating shaft rotatably connected to the first adapter block 13 and / or the second adapter block 14 via appropriate bearings or sleeves. This connection allows the driving bevel gear 341 to rotate about its rotating shaft when driven by the first shift lever 32. The driven bevel gear 342 is rotatably mounted in the second rotatable mounting space, with its rotating shaft similarly rotatably connected to the first adapter block 13 and / or the third adapter block 15 via appropriate bearings or sleeves. The driven bevel gear 342 meshes with the driving bevel gear 341. When the driving bevel gear 341 rotates, it drives the driven bevel gear 342 to rotate, thereby driving the flip arm 31 to perform a flip operation.

[0062] In summary, the design of the fixed bracket 1 of this embodiment fully considers the installation requirements and space utilization of the transmission component 34. Through the clever layout of the adapter blocks and the "Z"-shaped structural design, the transmission component 34 is compactly installed and efficiently transmitted in the vertical direction. This design not only improves the stability and reliability of the glue collecting device, but also reduces the manufacturing cost and maintenance difficulty.

[0063] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 The plastic collecting bowl 2 includes a plastic bowl bracket 22 and a plastic bowl body 21. The plastic bowl body 21 is mounted on the plastic bowl bracket 22. The plastic bowl bracket 22 is rotatably connected to the flip arm 31. The center of gravity of the plastic collecting bowl 2 is located below the rotation center axis of the plastic bowl bracket 22, so that during the flipping process of the flip arm 31, the bowl mouth of the plastic bowl body 21 is always facing upward.

[0064] The fixing bracket 1 is also equipped with a bowl flipping rod 33, which is used to push the rubber collecting bowl 2 tightly at the glue pouring position, so that the continuously rotating flip arm 31 can drive the rubber collecting bowl 2 to flip and pour the rubber into the rubber collecting vehicle 5.

[0065] The rubber collection bowl 2 consists of a bowl support 22 and a bowl body 21. The bowl body 21 is mounted on the bowl support 22 and is responsible for actually carrying the rubber. This split design allows for easy replacement or cleaning of the bowl body 21, while the bowl support 22 provides a stable support structure. Of particular note, the bowl support 22 is pivotally connected to the flip arm 31, and the center of gravity of the rubber collection bowl 2 is designed to be located below the rotation axis of the bowl support 22. This design plays a key role in the flipping process of the flip arm 31, ensuring that the mouth of the rubber collection bowl 2 always faces upward regardless of the rotation of the flip arm 31. This feature prevents rubber from spilling during the flipping process.

[0066] In order to achieve normal overturning and pouring of glue in the correct position, a bowl-turning push rod 33 is also installed on the fixed bracket 1. The push rod presses the glue collecting bowl 2 tightly at the glue pouring position. When the overturning arm 31 rotates to the glue pouring position, the bowl-turning push rod 33 will contact and press a certain part of the glue collecting bowl 2 (usually the bottom or side of the glue bowl bracket 22). At this time, if the overturning arm 31 continues to rotate, the bowl-turning push rod 33 will serve as a fulcrum, so that the rotational force of the overturning arm 31 can drive the glue collecting bowl 2 to turn over together. Under the action of the bowl-turning push rod 33, the glue collecting bowl 2 is turned to a certain angle, so that the bowl mouth of the glue collecting bowl 2 is tilted, and the rubber is dumped into the glue collecting cart 5 due to gravity.

[0067] For ease of understanding, the specific operation of the glue collecting device in the above embodiment is described here:

[0068] 1. During the rubber collection process, the rubber is collected into the rubber collection bowl 2;

[0069] Second, when the rubber collecting vehicle 5 approaches the rubber collecting device, the first lever 32 is pushed, driving the flip arm 31 to rotate via the transmission assembly 34. During the rotation, the rubber collecting bowl 2 always faces upwards due to its own gravity.

[0070] 3. After the flip arm 31 rotates to a certain angle (e.g., flipped to above the glue storage hopper 52 of the hand glue cart), the flip bowl push rod 33 contacts and tightens the glue receiving bowl 2;

[0071] Fourth, the turning arm 31 continues to rotate, and under the action of the bowl turning rod 33, the rubber collecting bowl 2 is turned over to tilt the bowl mouth, and the rubber is poured from the rubber collecting bowl 2 into the rubber collecting vehicle 5 due to gravity.

[0072] Fifth, the flip arm 31 and the glue collecting bowl 2 are reset to prepare for the next glue collecting operation.

[0073] In summary, the rubber collecting device of this embodiment achieves efficient rubber collection and dumping through the cleverly designed rubber collecting bowl 2, flip arm 31 and flip bowl top rod 33 components, while avoiding the problem of rubber accidentally pouring out of the rubber collecting vehicle 5 during the flipping process.

[0074] In addition, after the glue is collected, the glue bowl body 21 can be kept in an upside-down state with the support of the flip bowl top rod 33, so as to prevent rainwater, leaves and dust from falling into the glue bowl body 21 and causing contamination inside the glue bowl body 21. When collecting glue next time, the glue collecting bowl 2 can be flipped over and reset.

[0075] Specifically, when resetting the glue collecting bowl 2, the glue collecting vehicle 5 can be directly driven to travel in the reverse direction along the glue collecting path to push the first lever 32 in the reverse direction, and the reverse rotating first lever 32 can be used to reversely drive the flip arm 31 and the glue collecting bowl 2 to flip and reset.

[0076] In some embodiments, the plastic bowl bracket 22 includes a plastic bowl support rod 222 and a plastic bowl seat 221. One end of the plastic bowl support rod 222 is rotatably connected to the flip arm 31, and the other end is fixedly connected to the plastic bowl support rod 222. The plastic bowl body 21 is fixed in the plastic bowl seat 221.

[0077] The plastic bowl support rod 222 is connected between the plastic bowl seat 221 and the flip arm 31, so that the plastic bowl seat 221 and the flip arm 31 can maintain a large distance, so that the plastic bowl seat 221 has sufficient space to move, avoiding interference and collision during the flipping process.

[0078] In some embodiments, a flip paddle 223 is also fixed to the middle of the plastic bowl support rod 222. The flip paddle 223 is used to cooperate with the flip bowl top rod 33. The flip bowl top rod 33 presses the flip paddle 223 tightly, so that the flip arm 31 that continues to rotate can drive the plastic collecting bowl 2 to flip.

[0079] The flip paddle 223 is fixed to the center of the plastic bowl support rod 222. Its primary function is to serve as a contact point for the flip bowl push rod 33. When the flip arm 31 rotates to a specific position (i.e., the glue pouring position), the flip bowl push rod 33 contacts the flip paddle 223 and tightens it. By tightening the flip paddle 223, the flip bowl push rod 33 transmits the force of the flip arm 31's continued rotation to the plastic bowl 2. Because the flip paddle 223 is fixedly connected to the plastic bowl support rod 222, this force causes the entire plastic bowl 2 (including the plastic bowl body 21 and plastic bowl base 221) to flip along with the flip arm 31.

[0080] The design of the flip paddle 223 enables the flipping rod 33 to more directly and effectively transmit the flipping force to the plastic collecting bowl 2, which helps reduce friction and resistance during the flipping process and improves flipping stability and reliability. By securing the flip paddle 223 to the center of the plastic collecting bowl support rod 222, the flipping rod 33 is prevented from directly contacting vulnerable parts of the plastic collecting bowl body 21 or the plastic collecting bowl seat 221. This helps reduce damage caused by mechanical impact and prolongs the service life of the plastic collecting bowl 2. The selected location of the flip paddle 223 (center) also takes into account the optimization of spatial layout. This allows the flipping rod 33 to effectively cooperate with the flip paddle 223 to complete the flipping action without interfering with other components.

[0081] In some embodiments, the flipping mechanism 3 also includes a first torsion spring 35, which includes a first torsion arm and a second torsion arm at an angle to each other; the flip bowl top rod 33 is rotatably installed on the fixed bracket 1, and the first torsion arm is fixedly connected to the flip bowl top rod 33, and the second torsion arm is fixedly connected to the flip arm 31, so that the rotating flip arm 31 can push the flip bowl top rod 33 to rotate through the first torsion spring 35; the fixed bracket 1 is also provided with a first limit block 16 for limiting the rotation angle of the flip bowl top rod 33. Under the limiting action of the first limit block 16, the flip bowl top rod 33 can remain fixed in the glue pouring position to tighten the glue collecting bowl 2.

[0082] Specifically, the inventors discovered that during rubber collection, the rubber collecting bowl 2 must be rotated over the rubber collecting vehicle 5 before it can be turned upside down to prevent rubber from spilling. To allow the rubber collecting bowl 2 to be rotated over the rubber collecting vehicle 5 before turning upside down, the bowl turning rod 33 must extend into the path of the rubber collecting vehicle 5. This creates a risk of the vehicle 5 colliding with the bowl turning rod 33.

[0083] In order to overcome the above technical problems, the present invention sets the flip bowl push rod 33 to a rotatable state, and can be synchronously rotated to a position where the bowl can be pushed when the flip arm 31 is rotated and swung out. Figure 10In the state of step one, when the rubber collecting vehicle 5 starts to push against the first lever 32, the flip bowl top rod 33 rotates to a state that deviates from the driving path of the rubber collecting vehicle 5, that is, when the rubber collecting vehicle 5 drives to contact the first lever 32, the rubber collecting vehicle 5 will not hit the flip bowl top rod 33. Based on the connection structure of the first torsion spring 35, in the process of the rubber collecting vehicle 5 pushing the first lever 32, the first torsion spring 35 includes a first torsion arm and a second torsion arm that are angled with each other, and has the ability to store energy elastically. When the flip arm 31 rotates, it will drive the second torsion arm fixedly connected thereto to rotate together, and when the flip bowl top rod 33 has not yet rotated to the position restricted by the first limit block 16, the first torsion spring 35 will drive the flip bowl top rod 33 to rotate through the first torsion arm; when the flip bowl top rod 33 rotates to the position abutting the first limit block 16, it can no longer rotate. At this time, the flip arm 31 will rotate independently relative to the flip bowl top rod 33, and similarly, the rubber collecting bowl 2 will rotate relative to the flip bowl top rod 33; refer again Figure 10 In the state of step 2, at the glue pouring position, the flip bowl push rod 33 can just press the glue collecting bowl 2 tightly, so that the glue collecting bowl 2 automatically flips over and pours the glue into the glue collecting vehicle 5, that is, entering the glue collecting vehicle 5. Figure 10 In the state of step three, the second torsion arm of the first torsion spring 35 rotates relative to the first torsion arm, thereby storing elastic potential energy within the first torsion spring 35. Therefore, in order to prevent the first torsion spring 35 from releasing the elastic potential energy and pushing the flip arm 31 back to its original position, causing the mouth of the glue collecting bowl 2 to face upward and be contaminated by rain, leaves, or dust, the torsion of the first torsion spring 35 needs to be set to ensure that after the glue is poured out, under the action of the gravity of the glue collecting bowl 2 itself, the elastic force of the first torsion spring 35 is insufficient to push the flip arm 31 to rotate back to its original position. Therefore, this embodiment can rotate the flip bowl top rod 33 to a position that avoids the driving path of the glue collecting vehicle 5 before collecting glue, so as to avoid the flip bowl top rod 33 being hit by the glue collecting vehicle 5. At the same time, during the glue collecting process, the rotation of the flip arm 31 can also be used to drive the flip bowl top rod 33 to rotate to the top bowl position.

[0084] In the above embodiments, referring to Figure 10 , the specific workflow is as follows:

[0085] First, the rubber collecting vehicle 5 passes by the rubber collecting device. During the process, the vehicle 5 pushes against the first lever 32 and drives it to rotate. The first lever 32 drives the flip arm 31 and the rubber collecting bowl 2 to rotate through the transmission assembly 34. The flip arm 31 drives the flip bowl top rod 33 to rotate through the first torsion spring 35.

[0086] Second, when the flipping bowl push rod 33 rotates to the position contacting the first limit block 16, under the limiting action of the first limit block 16, the flipping bowl push rod 33 remains fixed to tighten the plastic collecting bowl 2, and at this time, the first lever 32 continues to push the flip arm 31 to rotate;

[0087] 3. Under the action of the bowl-turning push rod 33, the rubber collecting bowl 2 rotates relative to the turning arm 31, causing the bowl mouth of the rubber collecting bowl 2 to gradually tilt, and the rubber is poured from the rubber collecting bowl 2 into the rubber collecting vehicle 5 due to gravity.

[0088] Fourth, the glue collecting vehicle 5 is completely passed through the glue collecting device. Under the action of the gravity of the glue collecting bowl 2, it remains in an upside-down state to avoid being contaminated by rain, leaves or dust.

[0089] In another embodiment, based on the same structure of the first torsion spring 35 described above, another function can be achieved. In this case, a first torsion spring 35 with greater elastic potential energy is employed. This allows the first torsion spring 35 to overcome the weight of the rubber collecting bowl 2 and push the flip arm 31 back into position after the rubber collecting vehicle 5 has completely passed through the rubber collecting device. Specifically, the flip bowl push rod 33 is rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket 1. This mounting arrangement allows the flip bowl push rod 33 to rotate freely within a certain range to accommodate the flipping movement of the flip arm 31 and the rubber collecting bowl 2. The first torsion spring 35 includes a first torsion arm and a second torsion arm at an angle to each other, and has the ability to store elastic energy. When the flip arm 31 rotates, it drives the second torsion arm fixedly connected thereto to rotate together. When the flip bowl top rod 33 has not rotated to the position restricted by the first limit block 16, the first torsion spring 35 drives the flip bowl top rod 33 to rotate through the first torsion arm; when the flip bowl top rod 33 rotates to the position abutting the first limit block 16, it can no longer rotate. At this time, the flip arm 31 will rotate independently relative to the flip bowl top rod 33, and the glue collecting bowl 2 will also rotate relative to the flip bowl top rod 33. In the glue pouring position, the flip bowl top rod 33 The rod 33 precisely presses against the rubber collecting bowl 2, causing it to automatically flip over and dump the rubber into the rubber collecting vehicle 5. During this process, the second torsion arm of the first torsion spring 35 rotates relative to the first torsion arm, storing elastic potential energy within the first torsion spring 35. When the rubber is dumped and the rubber collecting vehicle 5 continues to move, the first lever 32 loses its restraint from the vehicle 5, releasing the elastic potential energy stored in the first torsion spring 35, which in turn pushes the flip arm 31 to rotate in the opposite direction and reset. Furthermore, during the reset of the flip arm 31, the first torsion spring 35 drives the flip bowl push rod 33 to reset, which in turn drives the first lever 32 to reset via the transmission assembly 34. This design allows the rubber collecting bowl 2 and the first lever 32 to automatically return to their rubber receiving position without the need for an external power source.

[0090] In the above embodiment, the specific workflow is as follows:

[0091] First, the rubber collecting vehicle 5 passes by the rubber collecting device. During the process, the vehicle 5 pushes against the first lever 32 and drives it to rotate. The first lever 32 drives the flip arm 31 and the rubber collecting bowl 2 to rotate through the transmission assembly 34. The flip arm 31 drives the flip bowl top rod 33 to rotate through the first torsion spring 35, which stores elastic potential energy.

[0092] Second, when the flipping bowl push rod 33 rotates to the position contacting the first limit block 16, under the limiting action of the first limit block 16, the flipping bowl push rod 33 remains fixed to tighten the plastic collecting bowl 2, and at this time, the first lever 32 continues to push the flip arm 31 to rotate;

[0093] 3. Under the action of the bowl-turning push rod 33, the rubber collecting bowl 2 rotates relative to the turning arm 31, causing the bowl mouth of the rubber collecting bowl 2 to gradually tilt, and the rubber is poured from the rubber collecting bowl 2 into the rubber collecting vehicle 5 due to gravity.

[0094] Fourth, the rubber collecting vehicle 5 completely passes through the rubber collecting device, the first lever 32 loses its restraint, the first torsion spring 35 releases its elastic potential energy, and the flip arm 31, the rubber collecting bowl 2, the first lever 32 and the flip bowl push rod 33 return to their original positions, preparing for the next flipping action.

[0095] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 The flip bowl push rod 33 includes a push rod member 331 and a push rod support 332. The push rod support 332 includes a first tube portion and a second tube portion vertically connected to each other. The first tube portion is rotatably connected to the fixed bracket 1, and the push rod member 331 is inserted and fixed to the second tube portion.

[0096] The push rod support 332 is composed of a first tube portion and a second tube portion that are vertically connected to each other, so that the push rod member 331 can be set parallel to the flip arm 31 while the rotation centers of the two can coincide, thereby realizing the function of the flip arm 31 smoothly driving the push rod member 331 to rotate. At the same time, the first torsion spring 35 can be mounted on the first tube portion, and the first tube portion is used to provide rotation support for the first torsion spring 35.

[0097] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1-2 The fixed bracket 1 includes a positioning block 12 and a bracket body 11, and the positioning block 12 is suitable for being fixed to one side of the rubber tree 4; the bracket body 11 includes a first rod 111, a second rod 112 and a third rod 113 that are perpendicular to each other, the first rod 111 is horizontally arranged, and one end of the first rod 111 is fixedly connected to the end of the first rod 111 away from the positioning block 12, and the other end extends vertically upward; one end of the third rod 113 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second rod 112, and the other end extends in the direction away from the side where the positioning block 12 is located, and the transmission assembly 34 is installed on one end of the third rod 113 away from the second rod 112.

[0098] The positioning block 12 is a key part of the fixing bracket 1. It is designed to be fixed to one side of the rubber tree 4. In this way, the entire turning mechanism 3 can be stably installed on the rubber tree 4 to facilitate rubber collection. The positioning block 12 can be tightly connected to the rubber tree 4 by bolts, clamps or other appropriate fixing devices to ensure its stability and safety.

[0099] The bracket body 11 is composed of a first rod 111, a second rod 112, and a third rod 113, which are perpendicular to each other. This design is both stable and compact. The support of the first rod 111 allows the transmission assembly 34 to maintain a sufficient distance from the rubber tree 4, thereby providing sufficient horizontal space between the transmission assembly 34 and the rubber collection bowl 2. The support of the second rod 112 and the third rod 113 allows the transmission assembly 34 to be offset from the first rod 111 in the vertical and horizontal directions, thereby providing sufficient space for the flip arm 31 to flip.

[0100] On the other hand, refer to Figure 1 The present embodiment provides a rubber collecting vehicle 5 for collecting rubber in cooperation with the above-mentioned rubber collecting device. The rubber collecting vehicle 5 comprises a vehicle frame 51, a rubber storage hopper 52 and a lever assembly 53. The rubber storage hopper 52 is mounted on the vehicle frame 51 for collecting rubber. The lever assembly 53 is mounted on the vehicle frame 51 and extends from one side to push the first lever 32 of the rubber collecting device to rotate.

[0101] The main function of the lever assembly 53 is to activate the flipping action of the flip mechanism 3 by pushing the first lever 32 when the rubber collection vehicle 5 reaches the rubber collection position. The lever assembly 53 is mounted on the vehicle frame 51 and extends from one side. This design allows the lever assembly 53 to easily contact the first lever 32 of the rubber collection device, thereby driving its rotation.

[0102] The rubber collecting vehicle 5 of this embodiment can be self-propelled and can realize autonomous driving. It can also be a simple unpowered vehicle body, which can be connected to the rear of the towing vehicle 6 and dragged by it (i.e. Figure 1 The frame 51 is provided with wheels, and a suitable number of wheels can be provided according to actual needs.

[0103] The top of the glue storage hopper 52 is open, which is convenient for pouring the glue into the glue storage bowl after it is turned over.

[0104] In some embodiments, reference Figure 9The lever assembly 53 includes a lever fixing seat 531, a lever support 532, a second lever 533 and a second torsion spring 534. The lever fixing seat 531 is fixed to the vehicle frame 51. The lever support 532 is rotatably mounted on the lever fixing seat 531. The second torsion spring 534 includes a third torsion arm and a fourth torsion arm at an angle to each other. The third torsion arm is fixedly connected to the second lever 533. The fourth torsion arm is fixed to the lever fixing seat 531. The lever support 532 is provided with a The second limit block 535 limits the rotation angle of the second derailleur 533, and the second torsion spring 534 can push the derailleur support 532 to keep it in contact with the second limit block 535, thereby keeping the second derailleur 533 in a position where it can cooperate to push the first derailleur 32; and when the force acting on the second derailleur 533 is greater than the elastic force of the second torsion spring 534, the second derailleur 533 can drive the derailleur support 532 to rotate around the derailleur fixing seat 531.

[0105] During driving, when the second lever 533 contacts the first lever 32, the spring torsion force provided by the second torsion spring 534 is greater than the rotational resistance of the first lever 32, allowing the second lever 533 to remain stable and easily push the first lever 32 to rotate. When encountering obstacles such as trees or rocks, the backward force exerted on the second lever 533 by the obstacle exceeds the torsion force provided by the second torsion spring 534. In this case, the second lever 533 can drive the lever support 532 to rotate around the lever fixing base 531, overcoming the torsion force of the second torsion spring 534, thereby preventing the second lever 533 from breaking.

[0106] In summary, the lever assembly 53 of the present solution is configured to be movable, and while providing the function of normally pushing the first lever 32 to rotate, it can also automatically bypass obstacles to achieve a self-protection function.
