Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aquatic plant harvesting devices, specifically a harvesting device for aquatic plants. Background Technology

[0002] Aquatic plants, generally speaking, refer to plants that grow in aquatic environments. These plants can float on the water surface or grow underwater and are an important part of aquatic ecosystems. They not only have ornamental value but also provide various ecological functions such as purifying water and providing habitats for organisms.

[0003] Harvesting becomes especially important once the aquatic plants have matured. When harvesting, use sharp tools such as sickles or scissors to ensure a clean cut, avoiding pulling that could damage the root system.

[0004] In existing technologies, aquatic plants are typically harvested using harvesting boats. However, using harvesting boats in smaller bodies of water can present several technical challenges. First, the limited water area restricts the maneuverability of the boats, leading to low harvesting efficiency. Second, smaller bodies of water may not be able to accommodate large harvesting boats, limiting their use and potentially hindering the effective harvesting of these plants. Therefore, a harvesting device for aquatic plants is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a harvesting device for aquatic plants, which has the advantages of enabling harvesting in areas with limited water area and solves the problem of the large limitations of harvesting boats in existing technologies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a harvesting device for aquatic plants, comprising a drive assembly, wherein a harvesting assembly for harvesting aquatic plants is provided on one side of the drive assembly.

[0007] The drive assembly also includes a floating platform for providing buoyancy. The floating platform is provided with a drive component for transmission. The drive component is provided with a first output end and a second output end. The first output end is connected to a second drive component. The bottom of the second drive component passes through the floating platform and is connected to a propeller for controlling the movement of the floating platform on the water surface.

[0008] The second output end is driven by a speed reducer for controlling the rotation speed. The output end of the speed reducer is driven by a first transmission component. The first transmission component is driven by a linkage component. The other end of the linkage component is provided with a connecting sleeve. The connecting sleeve is driven by the harvesting assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the harvesting assembly includes a mounting platform installed on a floating platform. Multiple first cutting blades for cutting are fixedly installed on the mounting platform. A connecting groove is provided on the first cutting blade, and a second cutting blade is slidably connected in the connecting groove. A connecting platform for connecting the connecting sleeve is provided on the second cutting blade.

[0010] Furthermore, the top of the floating platform is also equipped with a fixed handle for easy gripping by staff.

[0011] Furthermore, a guide plate is provided on one side of the mounting platform to guide the cut aquatic plants.

[0012] Furthermore, the first transmission component is a cam structure, and the linkage component includes a cam sleeve adapted to the cam and a transmission rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the second transmission component consists of a sprocket, a chain, and a waterproof housing, with the sprocket being connected to both the first output end and the propeller drive.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] I. This aquatic plant harvesting device, equipped with a drive component, effectively enables it to move on water during use. The drive component simultaneously powers both the propeller and the harvesting component, reducing the load on the floating platform and allowing it to operate even in small bodies of water.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment of a harvesting device for aquatic plants includes a drive assembly 1, one side of which is provided with a harvesting assembly 2 for harvesting aquatic plants. The drive assembly 1 also includes a floating platform 101 for providing buoyancy. A drive member 102 for transmission is provided on the floating platform 101. The drive member 102 is provided with a first output end 103 and a second output end 104. The first output end 103 is driven to a second transmission member 109. The bottom of the second transmission member 109 passes through the floating platform 101 and is driven to a propeller 112 for controlling the movement of the floating platform 101 on the water surface. The second output end 104 is driven to a reducer 105 for controlling the rotation speed. The output end of the reducer 105 is driven to a first transmission member 106. The first transmission member 106 is driven to a linkage member 107. The other end of the linkage member 107 is provided with a connecting sleeve 108, which is driven to the harvesting assembly 2.

[0025] In actual use, when it is necessary to harvest aquatic plants, the staff can control the first output end 103 to drive the second transmission component 109 to achieve the transmission effect, so that the second transmission component 109 can drive the propeller 112 to rotate. During the rotation of the propeller 112, it can generate thrust on the floating platform 101, thus ensuring that the floating platform 101 can move on the water.

[0026] At the same time, the staff can control the second output end 104 to make it rotate. The output shaft of the second output end 104 can drive the first transmission component 106 to rotate under the deceleration action of the reducer 105. This allows the first transmission component 106 to drive the linkage component 107 to make the connecting sleeve 108 reciprocate. Ultimately, the connecting sleeve 108 can drive the harvesting component 2 to cut the aquatic plants.

[0027] The technical effects of the above embodiments are as follows: by providing the drive component 1, it can effectively achieve the effect of walking on water during use; by providing the drive component 102, it can simultaneously drive the propeller 112 and the harvesting component 2, which can reduce the load-bearing pressure on the floating platform 101, thereby ensuring that it can move in areas with small water areas, and at the same time drive the harvesting component 2 to harvest aquatic plants, thus ensuring that it is less limited by the size of the water area during use and effectively increasing its applicability.

[0028] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment: the harvesting component 2 includes a mounting platform 21 installed on a floating platform 101. Multiple first cutting blades 22 for cutting are fixedly installed on the mounting platform 21. Each first cutting blade 22 has a connecting groove 23, and a second cutting blade 25 is slidably connected within the connecting groove 23. Each second cutting blade 25 is provided with a connecting platform 24 for connecting a connecting sleeve 108. In actual use, when the connecting sleeve 108 reciprocates, it drives the connecting platform 24 and the mounting platform 21 to reciprocate, thereby enabling the second cutting blades 25 to cut aquatic plants in conjunction with the first cutting blades 22.

[0029] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, the top of the floating platform 101 is also provided with a fixed handle 111 for easy gripping by workers. This connection method can effectively ensure the stability and safety of workers standing on the floating platform 101 during the process of cutting aquatic plants.

[0030] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, a guide plate 26 for guiding the cut aquatic plants is also provided on one side of the mounting platform 21. With this arrangement, when the operator controls the second cutting blade 25 to cut the aquatic plants, as the floating platform 101 moves the harvesting assembly 2 forward, the cut aquatic plants can fall from above the mounting platform 21 to its rear. At this time, the guide plate 26 on the mounting platform 21 can effectively guide the harvested aquatic plants, preventing them from floating far away and affecting the operator's collection.

[0031] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment: the first transmission component 106 is a cam structure, and the linkage component 107 includes a cam sleeve adapted to the cam and a transmission rod. This connection method can effectively ensure that it can drive the second cutting blade 25 to reciprocate during use, thus ensuring that it can achieve the effect of cutting aquatic plants.

[0032] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, the second transmission component 109 consists of a sprocket, a chain, and a waterproof housing. The sprocket is connected to the first output end 103 and the propeller 112 respectively. This connection method enables good transmission during use, and by setting a single drive component 102, the floating platform 101 can be moved and the harvesting effect can be achieved. In actual use, the operator can install only one motor in the drive component 102, connect its output end to the reducer 105, and simultaneously set a transmission wheel. At the same time, a corresponding driven wheel is set at the other end of the first output end 103, and connected by a transmission belt, thereby achieving the effect of one drive motor providing drive for the second output end 104 and the first output end 103.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
