[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Currently, the process of clearing soil for grapevines requires manual labor, making mechanized, efficient, and large-scale operations impossible. The numerous stages of grape production management, the time-consuming and labor-intensive nature of these operations, high labor costs, and labor shortages severely restrict the development of the grape industry. Clearing soil for grapevines is a unique step in the vine-cultivation process; it is highly seasonal, involves a large workload, is labor-intensive, has low efficiency, and high labor costs. Labor costs for clearing soil in the spring alone account for about one-fifth of the total cost of grape production management, making it a key bottleneck restricting the mechanization of the grape industry and significantly reducing the income of grape growers. Figures 1-4 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a grapevine vine opening device is proposed, which aims to improve the device's mobility in the plantation and increase the efficiency of opening grapevines under the trellis grape planting mode.

[0024] The grapevine vine clearing device proposed in this embodiment utilizes a power component to drive a rotating brush assembly. The brush assembly continuously contacts the soil ridges, quickly and consistently removing the soil covering the grapevines, significantly improving the efficiency of the clearing operation and saving labor and time costs. Simultaneously, the cooperation between the walking device and the drive arm allows the clearing mechanism to flexibly approach soil ridges at different locations, effectively carrying out clearing operations regardless of the layout of the grapevines under the trellis. This adapts to different planting environments, improves mobility within the vineyard, and increases the efficiency of clearing the grapevines.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a grapevine trellis clearing device includes a walking device 1 and a soil clearing mechanism 2. A drive arm 3 is mounted on the walking device 1. The walking device 1 is configured to move between trellises, and the drive arm 3 drives the soil clearing mechanism 2 to approach the soil mound under the trellis.

[0026] like Figure 1Combination Figure 2 As shown, the soil-removing mechanism 2 is installed at the end of the drive arm 3. The soil-removing mechanism 2 is configured to approach the soil ridge as the drive arm 3 moves, and uses the power component 21 to drive the roller brush assembly 22 to rotate, so that the roller brush assembly 22 continues to contact the soil ridge as it rotates, removing the soil covering the grapevine.

[0027] The preferred walking device 1 is a tracked walking device. Compared to wheeled or other walking methods, tracked walking devices have a larger contact area with the ground and lower pressure. In vineyards, there may be uneven ground, potholes, or muddy conditions. The tracked walking device 1 can easily cope with these complex terrains, move stably between trellises, and is less prone to slipping or getting stuck, ensuring the continuity and stability of soil clearing operations.

[0028] The drive arm 3 is controlled by a hydraulic cylinder, which features fast response and high control precision. Operators can precisely control the extension, retraction, and angle changes of the drive arm 3 according to actual soil clearing needs, enabling the soil clearing mechanism 2 to approach the soil ridge more accurately, adjust the position and force of soil clearing, further improve the accuracy of soil clearing operations, and reduce unnecessary disturbance to the grapevines and surrounding soil.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the soil cleaning mechanism 2 also includes a frame. The frame is connected to the end of the drive arm 3. A soil cleaning channel 23 is provided inside the frame, and the roller brush assembly 22 is arranged inside the soil cleaning channel 23. The end of the roller brush assembly 22 is connected to the frame. A power unit 21 is mounted on the frame. The output shaft of the power unit 21 is connected to the rotating shaft 221 of the roller brush assembly 22. For example, the power unit 21 is a geared motor.

[0030] In this way, even when encountering complex terrain bumps or significant resistance during soil removal, the sturdy frame ensures that the roller brush assembly 22 and the power unit 21 remain relatively fixed in position during equipment operation. This guarantees that the roller brush assembly 22 maintains continuous and effective contact with the soil ridges, ensuring stable and efficient soil removal. The soil removal channel 23 within the frame further optimizes the soil removal process. With the roller brush assembly 22 positioned within the soil removal channel 23, the removed soil can pass through the channel in an orderly manner when clearing the soil covering the grapevines, preventing soil from splashing everywhere. This not only ensures a clean working environment but also makes the soil removal operation smoother and improves efficiency.

[0031] like Figure 2 Combination Figure 3As shown, the frame includes a mounting plate 24 and support rods 25. The mounting plate 24 is connected to the end of the drive arm 3. A pair of support rods 25 are arranged parallel to each other below the mounting plate 24. A soil-cleaning channel 23 is formed between the pair of support rods 25 for mounting the roller brush assembly 22. The pivot 221 of the roller brush assembly 22 is connected to the support rods 25. The parallel pair of support rods 25 provides stable support for the roller brush assembly 22. During the soil-cleaning operation, the roller brush assembly 22 will be subjected to the reaction force from the soil. The pair of support rods 25 can evenly distribute these forces, preventing the roller brush assembly 22 from shaking, shifting, or even being damaged due to uneven force distribution.

[0032] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mounting plate 24 is provided with a connecting lug 27. The mounting plate 24 is connected to the end of the drive arm 3 via the connecting lug 27. The connecting lug 27 provides a clear positioning and connection point for the connection between the mounting plate 24 and the drive arm 3. During equipment assembly, the operator only needs to align the end of the drive arm 3 with the connecting lug 27 and quickly complete the installation using bolts or other fasteners, eliminating the need for complex positioning and calibration operations, greatly shortening assembly time and improving the production and maintenance efficiency of the equipment.

[0033] In vineyards, the ground conditions are complex and may be uneven. According to some preferred embodiments of this invention, a buffer assembly 26 is provided between the support rod 25 and the mounting plate 24. The support rod 25 and the mounting plate 24 are hinged. One end of the buffer assembly 26 is connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 24, and the other end of the buffer assembly 26 is connected to the support rod 25.

[0034] In this way, the buffer assembly 26 and the hinge structure installed between the support rod 25 and the mounting plate 24 can effectively cope with such terrain changes. When the equipment encounters bumps during movement, the buffer assembly 26 can act as a buffer, absorbing the impact force generated by the ground undulation and preventing the impact force from being directly transmitted to other parts of the soil clearing mechanism 2. At the same time, the hinge structure allows the support rod 25 to flexibly adjust its angle, always maintaining good contact between the roller brush assembly 22 and the soil ridge, ensuring that the soil clearing operation is not affected by the terrain and can be carried out stably.

[0035] For example, the buffer assembly 26 can be selected from spring buffer units, rubber buffer units or hydraulic buffer units according to the actual use scenario.

[0036] like Figure 4The brush roller assembly 22 includes a rotating shaft 221 and a plurality of brush disc units 222. The brush disc units 222 are arranged in a linear array along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 221. The linear array of the brush disc units 222 can uniformly clean the soil on the grapevines. Each brush disc unit 222 can apply a relatively uniform force to the soil in its coverage area, avoiding the problem of over-cleaning in some areas and incomplete cleaning in other areas, and ensuring the uniformity of the cleaning effect, thereby creating good conditions for the healthy growth of the grapevines.

[0037] In addition, the brush roller assembly 22 with the linear array of the brush disc units 222 can be adjusted in working width by increasing or decreasing the number of the brush disc units 222 to adapt to different planting distances and soil ridge widths, thereby improving the applicability of the device in various grape planting scenarios. For example, the number of the brush disc units 222 is preferably 8-20.

[0038] When the grapevine mound opening device is in use, the operator controls the device to stably walk between the grape trellises by using the strong terrain adaptability of the tracked walking device 1. The tracked structure can easily cope with uneven ground and stably move the device to the position of the grapevines that need to be opened.

[0039] After reaching the specified position, the driving arm 3 is actuated by controlling the hydraulic cylinder. Since the driving arm 3 is connected to the mounting plate 24 through the connecting lug 27, the connection is stable and easy to adjust, and the soil cleaning mechanism 2 can be accurately moved close to the soil ridge under the trellis. At the same time, the hinge structure and the buffer assembly 26 between the supporting rod 25 and the mounting plate 24 can adaptively follow the terrain and ensure that the brush roller assembly 22 is in good contact with the soil ridge.

[0040] The power component 21 is started, and the power component 21 is installed on the frame, the output shaft is connected to the rotating shaft 221 of the brush roller assembly 22, and the brush roller assembly 22 is efficiently and stably driven to rotate. The plurality of brush disc units 222 arranged in a linear array along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 221 continuously rotate and contact the soil ridge to remove the soil on the grapevines. The removed soil is orderly discharged through the soil cleaning channel 23 in the frame, avoiding soil splashing and interfering with the operation.

[0041] The utility model is not limited to the specific technical solutions described in the above embodiments, and the utility model can also have other implementation manners in addition to the above embodiments. For those skilled in the art, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. formed within the spirit and principles of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
