Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pickup machine technology, and in particular to an electrical system for a large-angle square bale pickup and palletizing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of my country's animal husbandry, the explosive growth of forage machinery products is inevitable.

[0003] The square bale pick-up and stacking machine is a type of forage processing machinery that breaks away from the traditional manual methods of picking up bales, stacking, and loading. It achieves automatic picking up, stacking, and stacking of square bales through a picking mechanism under the front of the chassis, a traveling mechanism at the rear of the chassis, a tilting and loading mechanism on the frame, a stacking device, a pressing fork, a hydraulic transmission system, a hydraulic lifting system, and an electrical control system, thereby saving labor costs and improving production efficiency.

[0004] With the rapid development of automation technology, complex machine structures cannot be manually controlled by operators, greatly increasing the difficulty and barrier to entry for operators. Furthermore, existing bale picking and palletizing machines are limited in their picking devices, restricting the types of bales they can pick and resulting in low picking efficiency. Current picking devices only achieve high picking rates for specific types of bales, such as natural grassland bales, but are not suitable for other types, such as alfalfa bales, corn stalk bales, and mesh bag bales, which are lighter and have a higher breakage rate. Compared to clamp-type picking machines, which have the lowest breakage rate, the clamp-type picking method is not as efficient as the motor-chain type. Considering these factors, this new invention can meet the requirements of high picking success rates for various bales, ensuring bale integrity, while also achieving the efficiency of a motor-chain type picking machine. It allows for continuous operation without stopping, combining the advantages of both motor-chain and clamp-type machines. Summary of the Invention

[0031] Working principle: This system transmits signals to the logic controller through the buttons on the remote control unit and the proximity switches of the sensor unit. The logic controller processes the signals and sends them to the solenoid control valve.

[0032] The remote control unit is the control component for the operation of the entire vehicle. The emergency stop button switch controls the main power supply. When the emergency stop button switch is pressed, the equipment is powered off and the operation stops.

[0033] The remote control unit's status indicator lights include a power indicator, a full-load alarm light, and a communication indicator. When the power indicator light is on, the system is powered normally. When the loading platform 11 is full, the full-load alarm light flashes at a frequency of 0.5 seconds. In automatic mode, if the automatic conditions are not met, the alarm light will flash twice in succession to prompt the operator to manually adjust to the initial state. When the emergency stop button is pressed, the full-load alarm light will remain on. When the communication indicator is on, the power cord of the remote control unit must be connected according to the specifications. The red wire with the fuse and positive terminal markings should be connected to the positive terminal of the 12V battery power supply (marked "+"), and the black wire with the negative terminal markings should be connected to the negative terminal of the 12V battery power supply (marked "-"). This indicates that the operator and controller are connected normally and can work. If the lights are not on, it indicates that the connection is abnormal or that a component is damaged.

[0034] Turn the emergency stop button clockwise to connect the vehicle power supply and start the control system. Check the mode selection joystick to confirm that it is in the "Automatic Pickup Mode" (automatic pickup), "Manual Pickup Mode" (manual pickup), or "Manual Palletizing Mode" (manual palletizing).

[0035] Manual operation mode:

[0036] 1. Motor operation: Manual operation

[0037] In "Manual Pickup" mode, press and hold the motor forward or reverse switch joystick to make the lifting motor and horizontal motor rotate forward or reverse simultaneously. Release the forward or reverse switch joystick to stop the lifting motor and horizontal motor simultaneously. If you quickly flick (press) the motor forward button 3 times within 2 seconds, the motor will rotate forward continuously. When you press the motor forward or reverse button again, the motor will stop rotating.

[0038] 2. Manual extension and retraction of the front push plate:

[0039] In "Manual Pickup" mode, press and hold the joystick of the front push plate extension / reset selector switch. The front push plate will extend towards the platform and stop extending when it reaches the front push plate extension proximity switch S8 position. Move the front push plate to retract. The front push plate will retract in the opposite direction of the platform and stop retracting when it reaches the front push plate retraction proximity switch S9 position. Note the position of the pickup and the flip platform 7 position, and be careful to avoid interference with the front push plate.

[0040] 3. Lifting of the tilting platform 7:

[0041] In "manual pickup" mode, jogging the platform lifting lever will automatically flip the platform 7 upwards. When it rises to the middle position proximity switch S11, the tack fork 10 will automatically lift. When it reaches the high position proximity switch S12, the tack fork 10 will automatically press down to secure the hay bales, at which point the lifting action ends. When in the high position stop state, jogging the platform lowering lever will automatically lower the platform to the low position proximity switch S10. When the platform support rod is raised, the descent changes from automatic to manual slow descent, and the height can be freely adjusted by manually controlling the platform lowering lever.

[0042] 4. Lifting of the loading platform 11:

[0043] In "palletizing manual mode", the lifting and lowering of the palletizing platform 11 can be controlled by moving the lever of the palletizing / pressing lifting self-reset switch. When the palletizing platform 11 is raised, the pressing fork 10 will automatically rise. When the palletizing platform 11 is lowered to the low position proximity switch S15, the pressing fork 10 will automatically press down.

[0044] 5. Rear push rod extension:

[0045] In "palletizing manual mode", when the palletizing platform 11 is in the low position proximity switch S16, the extension and retraction of the rear push rod can be controlled by moving the rear push rod to extend or retract. When the palletizing platform 11 is not in the high position, the rear push rod cannot be moved.

[0046] Description of the automatic bale picking process:

[0047] Mode 1: When picking up 72 bales of hay, select Mode 1. The number of platforms is 3×3, and the last row of bales on the platform needs to be pushed forward by the front pusher.

[0048] Mode 2: Select Mode 2 when picking up 72 or 108 bales of hay, when the number of platforms is 3×3 or 4×3, and the last row of bales on the platform does not need to be pushed by the front pusher.

[0049] The mode must be determined before picking up the item and cannot be switched during the picking process;

[0050] Automatic pickup mode conditions: 1. Front push plate retraction proximity switch S9 is triggered, front push plate retracts to its original position; 2. Pickup device low position proximity switch S3 is triggered, pickup device is in low position; 3. Platform low position proximity switch S10 is triggered, platform 7 flips to low position; 4. Platform support rod is in initial position; 5. Loading platform low position proximity switch S15 is triggered, loading platform is in low position; 6. Rear push rod retraction proximity switch S14 is triggered, rear push rod retracts to its original position; 7. Vertical barrier is raised to the correct position.

[0051] Automatic process: Select the mode to "Automatic Pickup Mode". When the full load alarm produces two consecutive alarm sounds, it means that the "Automatic Pickup Mode Conditions" are not met. Please check the above conditions and manually control it to the target position until the two consecutive alarm sounds stop.

[0052] When entering automatic picking mode, the picking motor a, the corner motor b, and the horizontal motor will automatically move in the picking direction. The head photoelectric detector determines the sorting action when picking up the hay bales and controls the motor operation to prevent hay piling. If hay piling occurs, please check the photoelectric switch.

[0053] When the hay bales enter the first row of the tilting platform 7 via the transfer lifting chain, the presence of hay bales is detected by the hay proximity switch S4 at the front of the tilting platform 7. When the horizontal hay bales are full, the first row full hay proximity switch S6 is triggered, and the horizontal chain 5 of the tilting platform 7 stops rotating. The front push plate pushes the hay bales to the rear of the vehicle to the second row. After pushing, the platform push plate 6 returns to the initial position, waiting for the next row of hay bales. This process continues until the platform reaches the rear and triggers the platform full-load proximity switch S7 (the last row of hay bales remains). In either mode one or mode two, it is determined whether to push the last row of hay bales. In mode one, the last row of hay bales will be pushed. After pushing, the platform will automatically rise and transfer the hay bales on the platform to the collection platform 11. In mode two, the last row of hay bales will not be pushed. When the last row of hay bales is detected to be full, the platform push plate 6 is not triggered, and the platform hay bales are immediately raised and transferred to the collection platform 11.

[0054] When the collection platform 11 is fully loaded, the remote control unit will issue a full load alarm with an audible and visual alarm at a frequency of 0.5Hz. At this time, automatic picking will stop, the operator will be notified, and the motor chain will stop moving.

[0055] During automatic operation, manually pressing the platform push plate 6 will automatically extend the platform push plate 6 to its limit and then retract it to its original position; manually pressing the platform raise button for 3 seconds will automatically raise the flip platform 7 to the high position and then automatically lower it to the low position; when manually pressing the load / crusher raise or lower button, the crusher fork 10 will rise or fall accordingly. This operation is a supplement to manual operation.

[0056] Operation in stacked state:

[0057] When the hay bales on the loading platform 11 are full, the full-load proximity switch S17 is triggered, triggering a full-load alarm. Switch to "Manual Palletizing Mode" to change the status to palletizing mode. Tow the entire vehicle to the stacking area. Press and hold the "Loading / Hawk Press Lift" switch. The loading platform rises and the hay press fork 10 is raised until the loading platform 11 reaches its maximum angle (approximately 100° with the ground) and stops. At this time, press and hold the "Push Rod Extension" switch. The push rod extends. After confirming that the hay bales have been pushed out of the loading platform 11, press and hold the "Push Rod Retraction" switch to retract the push rod to the initial position. After retracting the push rod, press and hold the "Loading / Hawk Press Lower" switch to lower the loading platform 11 back to the initial position. The hay press fork 10 automatically lowers. Press and hold the "Lift" switch to raise the stand 12 to the highest position, which is the working position. Switch the "Palletizing Mode" to "Automatic Pickup Mode".
