[0020] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more precise definition of the protection scope of the present invention. Example 1
[0021] Referring to Figures 1-2, an automated device for removing plants attached to betel nut trees includes a lower fixed seat, a lifting assembly, and a cleaning device. Universal wheels are fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower end surface of the lower fixed seat. A avoidance groove is fixedly opened on one side of the lower fixed seat. Stepping and translation assemblies are respectively fixedly installed on the lower fixed seat on both sides of the avoidance groove. A lifting assembly is fixedly installed on the stepping and translation assembly, and a cleaning device is fixedly installed on the lifting assembly.
[0022] When in use, the equipment is moved to the designated location through the universal wheels, and the betel nut tree is locked in the avoidance groove. The cleaning device is driven by the lifting devices on both sides of the avoidance groove to clean the plants attached to the surface of the betel nut tree from bottom to top.
[0023] Storage grooves are fixedly provided on both sides of the lower fixed seat, and fixed rotating shafts are fixedly installed at both ends of the storage grooves. Each fixed rotating shaft is rotatably connected to a balancing support arm. A threaded hole is fixedly provided on the balancing support arm, and a threaded rod is screwed into the threaded hole. The lower end of the threaded rod is fixedly connected to a supporting plate, and the length of the balancing support arm is less than half the length of the storage groove.
[0024] The balancing support arm is used to balance the entire device to prevent the lifting component from rising and making the overall center of gravity of the device unstable. At the same time, the balancing support arm can be easily stored in the storage slot during transportation.
[0025] The lifting assembly includes a lower fixed plate, a side fixing frame and a lifting frame fixedly connected, a lifting frame fixedly installed on the lower fixed plate, side fixing frames fixedly connected on both sides of the lifting frame, the side fixing frames fixedly installed on the lower fixed plate, and a plurality of lifting frames are sequentially connected to the lifting frame.
[0026] Through the linkage effect between multiple lifting frames, the cleaning device can be pushed to a certain height, and the multiple lifting frames reduce the convenience of storage when not in use.
[0027] The lifting frame includes an outer shell, a power chamber is fixedly provided in the outer shell, a power device and a reciprocating guide device are fixedly installed in the power chamber, the power device is connected to the reciprocating guide device through power transmission, a slider is connected to the reciprocating guide device, and a avoidance groove connected to the power chamber is fixedly opened on one side of the outer shell, and the slider extends out of the avoidance groove.
[0028] The reciprocating guide device is a linear motion structure, such as a linear guide rail, a screw guide rail, etc., which is driven by a power device to lift the output end upward.
[0029] The cleaning device includes a fixed connecting plate, a limit block and a cleaning knife group. The fixed connecting plate is fixedly installed on the lifting assembly. The limit block and the cleaning knife group are fixedly installed on the fixed connecting plate. The limit block is placed below the cleaning knife group.
[0030] The cleaning knife set includes a simple upright blade, an upright blade with a certain curvature or an electric cutting tool, all of which are within the selection range of the cleaning knife set. When a blade is selected, the reciprocating motion of the lifting component drives the blade to cut off the attached plants. When an electric cutting tool is selected, the attached plants are cut off by the electric cutting tool.
[0031] The limit block is used to limit the distance between the cutter and the betel nut tree.
[0032] The limiting block is in one of a block shape, a rod shape and a cone shape.
[0033] It should be noted that the limit block is used to prevent the cleaning knife group from damaging the betel nut tree trunk. Since the betel nut tree trunk is relatively straight, thick at the bottom and thin at the top, the limit block provided under the cleaning knife group, after contacting the betel nut tree, can prevent the cleaning knife from damaging the betel nut tree trunk through the contact limit between the limit block and the betel nut tree. In the process of the lifting assembly rising, the betel nut tree trunk will become thinner and thinner. In order to more conveniently clean the attachments, it is necessary to fine-tune the distance between the cleaning knife group and the trunk. At this time, by adjusting the step translation assembly, the cleaning knife group can be adjusted while the distance between the cleaning knife group and the trunk is rising, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. Any equivalent modifications or changes made by ordinary technicians in this field based on the content disclosed in the present invention should be included in the protection scope recorded in the claims.
