Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Chinese herbal medicine harvesting technology, and in particular to the harvesting blade mechanism of a cat's claw grass harvester. Background Technology
[0002] Cat's Claw Grass is a vine with distinctive characteristics: its leaves are opposite, elliptical or ovate, and often serrated. Its most striking feature is its slender, hooked lateral roots or branches, which resemble cat's claws, hence the name "cat's claw grass." Cat's Claw Grass has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine, often used for clearing heat and detoxifying, calming the nerves, reducing inflammation, and lowering blood pressure, among other purposes. Its roots, branches, and leaves can all be used medicinally.
[0003] A harvesting device for cat's claw grass tubers, disclosed in CN117837369A, includes a mobile main body, a cylinder, a truss, a turning and throwing mechanism, and a conveying mechanism. The mobile main body is equipped with a support frame extending to one side. The conveying mechanism transports the turned-out cat's claw grass tubers into the cylinder, allowing them to be harvested efficiently and effectively reducing costs. In traditional cat's claw grass harvesting, the turning blades on the turning and throwing mechanism typically collect the tubers onto the conveying mechanism, which then collects and stores them. However, since the turning blades are mostly vertical blades, they often generate significant friction when in contact with the tubers. This friction can damage the tuber surface, potentially causing breakage or deformation, thus affecting the final harvest quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where vertical blades often generate significant friction when in contact with the tubers, which can damage the tuber surface and even lead to tuber breakage or deformation. This invention provides a harvesting blade mechanism for a cat's claw harvester that greatly reduces the possibility of tuber damage and improves the stability and efficiency of the harvesting process.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a harvesting blade mechanism for a cat's claw grass harvester, including a drive shaft with multiple turning and throwing blades mounted on it. Both ends of the drive shaft are equipped with connecting components. Each turning and throwing blade includes a vertical blade body, with its lower part connected to an arc-shaped blade body and one end of the arc-shaped blade body connected to a horizontal blade body. The upper part of the vertical blade body is connected to the drive shaft via a mounting plate.
[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution: a mounting assembly is provided on the drive shaft, and the mounting assembly is detachably connected to the turning and throwing tool.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: a digging blade is provided on one side of the arc-shaped cutter body and the horizontal cutter body, and the digging blade is integrally formed with the arc-shaped cutter body and the horizontal cutter body.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the connecting assembly includes a connecting plate, which is connected to the drive shaft, and a plurality of connecting bolts are provided on the connecting plate.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: the mounting component includes a mounting block, the mounting block has a mounting groove inside, and the mounting block is provided with mounting bolts and mounting nuts.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the mounting plate is provided with mounting holes that are compatible with the mounting bolts.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: the vertical blade body, the arc-shaped blade body, and the horizontal blade body are integrally formed.
[0012] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects:
[0013] This invention uses a drive shaft to rotate multiple turning blades. Connecting components are provided at both ends of the drive shaft to ensure the stable operation of the entire turning mechanism. Each turning blade consists of a vertical blade, an arc-shaped blade, and a horizontal blade. The vertical blade is located above the turning blade and is used to contact and turn over the tuberous roots of cat's claw grass, effectively controlling the force and angle of turning the tuberous roots. The arc-shaped blade has a relatively smooth curved surface, which can reduce the friction when in contact with the tuberous roots. The horizontal blade further assists in the turning and guiding of the tuberous roots, ensuring that the tuberous roots smoothly enter the subsequent conveying mechanism. By adopting the combination of vertical blade, arc-shaped blade, and horizontal blade, the possibility of tuberous root damage is greatly reduced, and the stability and efficiency of the harvesting process are improved.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the harvesting blade mechanism of the cat's claw grass harvester of this utility model includes a drive shaft 1, on which a plurality of turning and throwing blades 2 are provided, and connecting components 3 are provided at both ends of the drive shaft 1; the turning and throwing blades 2 include a vertical blade body 201, the lower part of the vertical blade body 201 is connected to an arc-shaped blade body 202, one end of the arc-shaped blade body 202 is connected to a horizontal blade body 203, and the upper part of the vertical blade body 201 is connected to the drive shaft 1 through a mounting plate 204.
[0024] In this embodiment, a drive shaft 1 drives multiple turning and tumbling cutters 2 to rotate. Connecting components 3 are provided at both ends of the drive shaft 1 to ensure the stable operation of the entire turning and tumbling mechanism. Each turning and tumbling cutter 2 consists of a vertical cutter body 201, an arc-shaped cutter body 202, and a horizontal cutter body 203. The vertical cutter body 201 is mainly used for cutting and turning the tubers, while the arc-shaped cutter body 202 and the horizontal cutter body 203 can guide the tubers more smoothly during the turning and tumbling process, reducing friction and damage. The vertical cutter body 201 is located above the turning and tumbling cutter 2 and is used to contact and turn the tubers of the cat's claw grass, effectively controlling the force and angle of turning the tubers. The arc-shaped cutter body 202 is connected to the vertical cutter body 201 and has a relatively smooth curved surface, which can reduce the friction when contacting the tubers. The design of the arc-shaped cutter body 202 makes the turning and tumbling process more stable, thereby reducing damage to the tubers. The horizontal cutter body 203 is connected to the arc-shaped cutter body 202, further assisting in the turning and guiding of the tubers, ensuring that the tubers smoothly enter the subsequent conveying mechanism. The design of the curved blade 202 and the horizontal blade 203 can effectively reduce the friction with the tuber and reduce damage to the tuber skin, thereby improving the harvest quality. By adopting the combination of the vertical blade 201, the curved blade 202 and the horizontal blade 203, the possibility of tuber damage is greatly reduced, and the stability and efficiency of the harvesting process are improved.
[0025] The vertical blade body 201, the arc-shaped blade body 202, and the horizontal blade body 203 are integrally formed.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, specifically, a mounting assembly 4 is provided on the drive shaft 1. The mounting assembly 4 is detachably connected to the turning and threshing blade 2. The mounting assembly 4 includes a mounting block 41, with a mounting groove 42 inside the mounting block 41. The mounting block 41 is provided with mounting bolts 43 and mounting nuts 44. The mounting plate 204 has mounting holes 205 that are compatible with the mounting bolts 43. The mounting groove 42 inside the mounting block 41 can accurately cooperate with the mounting bolts 43, ensuring that the turning and threshing blade 2 is firmly fixed on the mounting block 41 during use, avoiding the risk of loosening due to vibration or friction, thereby improving working stability. Through the detachable connection between the mounting assembly 4 and the turning and threshing blade 2, the operator can easily disassemble the turning and threshing blade 2 for inspection, maintenance or replacement. Due to the simplicity of the design of the mounting assembly 4, only the damaged blade can be replaced, without replacing the whole thing, saving costs. The operator can complete the installation and replacement of the blade in a short time, thereby improving the working efficiency and productivity of the equipment.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, specifically, a digging blade 5 is provided on one side of the arc-shaped blade 202 and the horizontal blade 203. The digging blade 5 is integrally formed with the arc-shaped blade 202 and the horizontal blade 203. The design of the digging blade 5 helps to turn the tubers of cat's claw grass more smoothly from the soil, avoids excessive resistance, reduces the impact on the tubers, and also reduces the jamming phenomenon during the turning process.
[0028] Among them, the cutting tool 5 is integrally formed with the arc-shaped cutting tool body 202 and the horizontal cutting tool body 203, which avoids the loosening or falling off problems that may occur when they are connected separately. Through the integrated design, the overall mechanical strength and stability of the cutting tool are improved, ensuring that the cutting tool is not easily damaged during high-intensity operations.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the connecting assembly 3 includes a connecting plate 31, which is connected to the drive shaft 1. Multiple connecting bolts 32 are provided on the connecting plate 31. The multiple connecting bolts 32 help to distribute the load and prevent a single bolt from loosening or breaking due to excessive force. The combined action of multiple bolts ensures a more robust and stable connection between the connecting plate 31 and the drive shaft 1, enhancing the reliability of the entire system. By using multiple connecting bolts 32 to connect the connecting plate 31 and the drive shaft 1, the robustness, stability, and load-bearing capacity of the connection can be effectively improved, reducing maintenance costs and enhancing the safety and reliability of the equipment.
[0030] Working Principle: Multiple turning and turning blades 2 are driven to rotate by a drive shaft 1. Connecting components 3 are installed at both ends of the drive shaft 1 to ensure stable operation of the entire turning and turning mechanism. Each turning and turning blade 2 consists of a vertical blade body 201, an arc-shaped blade body 202, and a horizontal blade body 203. The vertical blade body 201 is mainly used for cutting and turning over the tubers, while the arc-shaped blade body 202 and the horizontal blade body 203 guide the tubers more smoothly during the turning process, reducing friction and damage. By using the combination of the vertical blade body 201, arc-shaped blade body 202, and horizontal blade body 203, the possibility of tuber damage is greatly reduced, improving the stability and efficiency of the harvesting process. At the same time, the detachable and adjustable design makes equipment maintenance more convenient and adaptable to different working conditions.
