DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] One specific embodiment of the utility model will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings, but it should be understood that the protection scope of the utility model is not limited by the specific embodiment.

[0029] Example one

[0030] As Figs. 1-3As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a coconut fiber drilling machine, which includes a bracket 1, a lifting assembly mounted on the bracket 1, and a drilling assembly and a detection assembly mounted on the lifting assembly.

[0031] The opening assembly includes an opening element and a drive mechanism that drives the opening element to rotate.

[0032] The detection assembly includes a pin located within the opening and a detection mechanism for detecting pin movement;

[0033] During the descent of the lifting assembly, which drives the detection assembly and the opening assembly, the pin will be inserted into the coconut shell. The pin cannot move before the opening component completes the opening work. After the opening is completed, the part of the coconut shell into which the pin is inserted will detach from the main body of the coconut shell. Therefore, this can be used to determine whether the opening work is completed. Specifically, a rotational force or a pressure can be applied to the pin before opening. When the rotational force or pressure changes, it indicates that the opening work is completed. The detection mechanism has an encoder that can output a signal to the microcontroller of the coconut shell opening machine, thereby commanding the lifting assembly to stop or rise and the driving mechanism to stop.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] like Figs. 1-3 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment proposes a coconut fiber punching machine, whose detection mechanism includes a torque motor 10, the output end of the torque motor 10 is connected to a gear 3 11, the insertion pin includes a needle part 14 and a connecting handle 15, a gear 4 12 that meshes with the gear 3 11 is installed on the connecting handle 15, and the lifting assembly has a frame 13 that carries the connecting handle 15, that is, the connecting handle 15 is rotatably mounted on the frame 13;

[0036] Before the hole is made, the needle 14 is inserted into the coconut water. Before the hole is made, the torque motor 10 cannot drive the needle 14 to rotate. After the hole is made, the torque motor 10 can drive the needle 14 to rotate. The encoder of the torque motor 10 outputs a signal to the microcontroller, and the microcontroller controls the relevant components to stop working, thereby preventing the hole-making part from continuing to extend downward into the coconut water and reducing the contamination of the coconut water.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] like Figs. 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a coconut fiber opening machine, which, based on embodiment one or embodiment two, also includes a coconut fiber fixing structure installed on the bracket 1, with the coconut fiber fixing mechanism located below the opening assembly;

[0039] The coconut fiber fixing structure includes two clamping parts 17 and a second driving mechanism 16 that drives the two clamping parts 17 to move relative to each other or away from each other. The second driving mechanism 16 can be a bidirectional linear slide or other bidirectional linear movement mechanism.

[0040] In some embodiments, the thickness of the clamping portion 17 increases from the center to both sides, so that the clamping portion 17 has a groove that can limit the coconut water.

[0041] In addition, a base 18 for placing young coconuts is also installed on the bracket 1, and the base 18 is located between the two clamping parts 17.

[0042] Example 4

[0043] like Figs. 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a coconut fiber drilling machine. Based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2 or Embodiment 3, its lifting component includes a lifting platform 2 and a linear reciprocating moving mechanism 3 that drives the lifting platform 2 to rise and fall; the drilling component and the detection component are both fixedly installed on the lifting platform 2.

[0044] In this embodiment, the linear reciprocating movement mechanism 3 is a linear slide table;

[0045] In some embodiments, the linear reciprocating mechanism is a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder;

[0046] The drive mechanism includes a motor 4, the output end of which is connected to a gear 5. The opening component includes a connecting portion 7 and a cutting edge 8, both of which are hollow structures, providing a space to accommodate the pin. A bearing seat 9 that mates with the connecting portion 7 is mounted on the lifting assembly, and a gear 6 that meshes with the gear 5 is mounted on the connecting portion 7. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and basic characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Therefore, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0047] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution.
