DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0074] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages in the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will combine the accompanying drawings to further describe the embodiments of the present application. Figures 1-15 Further detailed description will be given to the exemplary embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0075] In the process of implementing the present application, the inventors found that root crops have high yield, rich nutrition, strong adaptability to the environment, and have become one of the most important food crops in the world, occupying a pivotal position in the field of agriculture. The product organs of root crops are tubers and tubers. When collecting, the main product tubers are deeply buried in the soil of the field ridge, which needs to be dug out and then processed. Therefore, the artificial harvesting method is difficult and inefficient.
[0076] Currently, the traditional root crop harvesting usually uses a plow-type harvester, which needs to be towed by a tractor and is not suitable for hilly land and small family-planting land. Moreover, the function is relatively single, and only part of the operation in the harvesting process can be completed. In the later stage, a large amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources are still needed to complete the work of cutting stems and leaves and transportation.
[0077] In view of the above problems, as shown in the accompanying drawings, Figures 1-4 The present application provides a root crop integrated harvesting device (hereinafter referred to as harvesting device) in the embodiments, which comprises:
[0078] The vehicle frame 10 is composed of multiple aluminum plates, which constitutes the basic frame of the whole vehicle and supports all mechanical structures. The bottom of the vehicle frame 10 is provided with a traveling module 20. The middle part of the chassis of the vehicle frame 10 is vertically provided with a mounting bracket 11. The mounting bracket 11 comprises a first horizontal rod 111, a second horizontal rod 112 and a third horizontal rod 113 which are sequentially and spacedly arranged from bottom to top.
[0079] The cutting module 30 is arranged on one side of the head of the chassis of the vehicle frame 10. The cutting module 30 swings outward to cut stems and leaves and swings inward to reset.
[0080] The digging module 40 is arranged on the first horizontal rod 111 and is used for digging and lifting the root crops from the soil and resetting after completing the digging and lifting action.
[0081] The transfer module 50 is arranged on the second horizontal rod 112 and is used for receiving the root crops lifted by the digging module 40 and lifting them again, and resetting after completing the lifting action again.
[0082] The fork module 60 is arranged on the third horizontal rod 113 and is used for receiving the root crops lifted again by the transfer module 50 and continuously transporting them backward.
[0083] A storage box 70 is arranged on one side of the mounting frame 11, and the top of the storage box 70 is connected with the transport terminal of the prong module 60.
[0084] In the embodiment, taking the harvesting of taro as an example, the harvesting device drives to the field through the traveling module 20, adjusts the position of the vehicle head to align the mounting frame 11 with the field ridge where the taros are located, starts the cutting module 30, swings outward to cut the stems and leaves above the taros, after the stems and leaves of the taros are cut, the digging module 40 is inserted into the soil to prepare for digging, digs up the taros by penetrating into the soil, lifts the taros to a preset height, and then sends the taros to the transport module 50 above, the transport module 50 continues to lift after receiving the taros, sends the taros to the prong module 60 above, the prong module 60 transports the taros to the storage box 70, and after the storage box 70 is full or the harvesting task of a region is completed, the harvesting device transports the harvested taros to the designated place through the traveling module 20. Through the mutual cooperation and reciprocating motion of the above-mentioned modules, the integrated operation of stem and leaf cutting, digging, collecting and transporting of root and stem crops can be continuously realized.
[0085] As a preferred scheme, as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 The cutting module 30 comprises:
[0086] The top plate 301 and the bottom plate 302 are arranged in an upper and lower interval, the bottom plate 302 is connected with the chassis of the vehicle frame 10, the top plate 301 is connected with the vehicle frame 10 through a connecting piece, and the first through hole 303 is formed in the side of the top plate 301 close to the digging module 40;
[0087] The first motor 304 is arranged above the top plate 301, the first motor 304 is installed on the vehicle frame 10 through a motor support, and the output shaft of the first motor 304 passes through the top plate 301 downward from the first through hole 303;
[0088] The first crank 305 is arranged between the top plate 301 and the bottom plate 302, one end of the first crank 305 is connected with the output shaft of the first motor 304;
[0089] The rotating shaft 306 is vertically arranged on the side of the bottom plate 302 away from the output shaft of the first motor 304, and both ends of the rotating shaft 306 are connected with the top plate 301 and the bottom plate 302 respectively;
[0090] One end of the first rocker 307 is hinged to the rotating shaft 306, the second through hole 308 is formed in the middle segment of the first rocker 307, the second motor 309 is installed on the other end of the first rocker 307, and the output shaft of the second motor 309 passes through the first rocker 307 downward and is connected with the cutting blade 310;
[0091] The first connecting rod 311 has one end hinged to the other end of the first crank 305, and the other end of the first connecting rod 311 is hinged to the second through hole 308 of the first rocker 307.
[0092] In the embodiment, taking the harvesting of taro as an example, when the harvester is working, the cutting module 30 starts to be located at the initial position (in the dashed line position in Figure 6 , the first rocker 307 is placed horizontally, and the cutting blade 310 is located in front of the digging shovel 408, which is ready for cutting the stems and leaves of taro. After the vehicle drives to the appropriate position, the first crank 305 starts to rotate (in the counterclockwise direction in Figure 6 ) under the drive of the first motor 304, which drives the first rocker 307 to swing, and at the same time, the second motor 309 starts to work, which drives the cutting blade 310 to rotate at high speed. At this time, the cutting blade 310 rotating at high speed will be pushed to the stems and leaves of taro above the soil, and in the process of swinging of the first rocker 307, the stems and leaves are cut, and the cutting module 30 continues to move to a position where the cutting module 30 will not interfere with the digging shovel 408 (in the solid line position in Figure 6 , the first motor 304 and the second motor 309 stop working.
[0093] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6 , the right dashed line represents the initial position of the cutting module 30, and the left solid line represents the termination position of the cutting module 30 in one working process. When the cutting module 30 is working, the slow stroke of the crank rocker mechanism is used as the working stroke, the cutting blade 310 in rotation is slowly pushed out by the first rocker 307, which reduces the impact on the mechanism when the blade cuts the stems and leaves; the fast stroke of the crank rocker mechanism is used as the return stroke, and the mechanism is quickly reset, so that the cutting module 30 can timely cut the stems and leaves again, which reduces the preparation time and improves the cutting efficiency. The cutting module 30 stops moving at the termination position of one working process, and at this time, the digging module 40 will dig the taro. After the digging of the taro is completed, the cutting module 30 moves again to quickly reset, the vehicle advances, and the cutting of the stems and leaves of the next taro is started. The design of the cutting module 30 using the crank rocker mechanism can reduce the time required for cutting the stems and leaves without interfering with other mechanisms, and can realize the continuous cutting of the stems and leaves of the taro in cooperation with the digging module 40 and the vehicle driving module, thereby improving the cutting efficiency.
[0094] As a supplement to the above cutting module scheme, further, the cutting module 30 can be designed in a modular manner, so that the height of the cutting module can be adjusted to adapt to different cutting scenes and avoid damage to the stems and roots of crops caused by cutting errors. Specifically, the relative height of the cutting module 30 on the rotating shaft 306 can be adjusted between the top plate 301 and the bottom plate 302.
[0095] As a preferred scheme, as shown in Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown, the digging module 40 comprises:
[0096] The third motor 401 is installed on the first cross bar 111 through the support 402, and the first cross bar 111 is arranged above the chassis 10. The third motor 401 is a double-output-shaft motor, and one set of crank-rocker mechanism is arranged on each side of the third motor 401, and the two sets of crank-rocker mechanisms are symmetrically arranged about the mounting frame 11.
[0097] The crank-rocker mechanism comprises:
[0098] The second crank 403 is connected with one end of the second crank 403 after the output shaft of the third motor 401 passes through the support 402.
[0099] The second rocker 404 is hingedly connected to the chassis 10 through the first bearing seat 405 on one end, and the first bearing seat 405 is located between the mounting frame 11 and the cutting module 30.
[0100] The second connecting rod 406 is hingedly connected with the other end of the second crank 403 on one end, and the other end of the second connecting rod 406 is hingedly connected with the other end of the second rocker 404.
[0101] The connecting rod extension rod 407 is connected with the other end of the second connecting rod 406 on one end, and the included angle between the connecting rod extension rod 407 and the second connecting rod 406 is an obtuse angle.
[0102] The digging module 40 further comprises a digging shovel 408, which is arranged between the two sets of crank-rocker mechanisms, and the digging shovel 408 is connected with the other end of the connecting rod extension rod 407 on each side.
[0103] In specific implementation, taking the harvesting of taro as an example, after the taro stems and leaves are cut by the leaf cutting module 30, the digging shovel 408 starts to move from the set initial position, the third motor 401 drives the second crank 403 to rotate, and the power is transmitted to the digging shovel 408 through the second connecting rod 406, the digging shovel 408 is guided by the second rocker 404 to penetrate into the soil, and is driven by the second connecting rod 406 to move forward and upward to dig up the taro, and then the taro is sent to the upper transfer module 50, and there is no interference between the digging module 40 and the upper transfer module 50 during the whole digging process, and then the second connecting rod 406 continues to drive the digging shovel 408 to move back to the initial position. The slow stroke of the crank-rocker mechanism serves as the working stroke to reduce the impact generated when the digging shovel 408 contacts the soil, and the fast stroke serves as the return stroke to enable the mechanism to reach the preparation state at a faster speed. In the digging module 40 of the present harvesting device, the second rocker 404 is arranged, and the included angle between the connecting rod extension rod 407 and the second connecting rod 406 is set as an obtuse angle, both of which are to form a labor-saving lever structure to reduce the driving force and use a small motor to drive a larger load.
[0104] The module adopts a labor-saving lever to amplify the applied force, so that a smaller force is needed to complete the same work, which makes the operation more comfortable and reduces the power required by the third motor 401. Secondly, the excavating module designed by the labor-saving lever structure can greatly shorten the working time and improve the working efficiency under the condition of completing the same work. In terms of stability, the mechanical structure of the crank rocker mechanism is relatively stable and is not prone to failure, has a long service life and reliability, and the crank rocker mechanism is also relatively reliable in safety, so that even if the mechanism fails during operation, it will not cause harm to the operator, thereby improving the safety of the excavating operation.
[0105] As a supplement to the above-mentioned excavating module scheme, in the process of implementing the present application, the inventor found that the root crops planted by the same farmer have approximately the same growth depth, and the excavating depth does not need to be adjusted, but the root crops planted by different farmers need to be adjusted in excavating depth due to different planting varieties and growth environments. Further, the third motor 401 in the present harvesting device can adjust the installation position of the support 402 on the first cross rod 111, so as to adjust the excavating depth of the excavating shovel, so as to adapt to different excavating scenes.
[0106] As a preferred scheme, as shown in Figure 10 The transport module 50 comprises:
[0107] The fourth motor 501 is installed on the second cross rod 112 through a motor support, and the fourth motor 501 is a double-output shaft motor. One set of double rocker mechanisms is arranged on each side of the fourth motor 501, and the two sets of double rocker mechanisms are symmetrically arranged about the mounting bracket 11.
[0108] The double rocker mechanism comprises:
[0109] The third rocker 502 is connected to the output shaft of the fourth motor 501 at one end.
[0110] The fourth rocker 503 is hingedly connected to one side of the mounting bracket 11 of the vehicle frame 10 through a second bearing seat 504, and the second bearing seat 504 is higher than the fourth motor 501 and is located between the mounting bracket 11 and the cutting module 30.
[0111] The third connecting rod 505 is hingedly connected to the other end of the third rocker 502 at one end, and is hingedly connected to the other end of the fourth rocker 503 at the other end.
[0112] The rocker extension rod 506 is connected to the other end of the fourth rocker 503 at one end, and the included angle between the rocker extension rod 506 and the fourth rocker 503 is an acute angle.
[0113] The transport module 50 further comprises a collecting claw 507, which is arranged between the two sets of double rocker mechanisms and connected to the other end of the rocker extension rods 506 on both sides.
[0114] In a specific implementation, taking the harvesting of taro as an example, when the transport module 50 is in the initial position (as shown in Figure 10 ), the collecting claw 507 naturally droops and is in an L shape. After the digging module 40 completes a digging operation, the taros are lifted upward by the digging shovel 408 to the initial position of the transport module 50 (as shown in Figure 12 ), and the circles in the figure represent rhizome crops, and the arrows represent the movement trend. Since the digging module 40 will continue to move back to its initial position, the digging shovel 408 will be in an upwardly inclined posture during the return journey. At this time, the taros in the digging shovel 408 will naturally slide from the tail of the shovel body to the collecting claw 507 below. After the collecting claw 507 receives the taros, the fourth motor 501 starts to work to drive the third rocker 503 to rotate. The power is transmitted to the fourth rocker 503 through the third connecting rod 505. The fourth rocker 504, together with the rocker extension rod 506 and the collecting claw 508, rotates upward around the second bearing seat 504 to lift the taros upward to the prong module 60. During the entire transport process, the transport module 50 does not interfere with the prong module 60 above. Subsequently, the collecting claw 507 continues to move back to the initial position under the drive of the fourth motor, waiting for the arrival of the next digging shovel 408.
[0115] As a supplement to the above-mentioned digging module and transport module, as shown in Figure 9 , Figure 11 , the rear end of the digging shovel 408 is connected with an elongated plate 409 in a dentate shape. Since the collecting claw 507 is on the movement track of the digging shovel 408, when the digging shovel 408 converges with the collecting claw 507, the tooth gaps at the front end of the collecting claw 507 and the tooth gaps of the elongated plate 409 can interpenetrate each other without interference. In this way, the collecting claw 507 can receive the rhizome crops without interfering with the subsequent return movement of the digging shovel 408. Moreover, the collecting device is designed in a claw shape, which not only reduces the weight of the mechanism and avoids interference with the digging mechanism, but also helps to screen out part of the sand carried by the digging shovel 408. As the first part of the sand removal work, it facilitates subsequent transportation and sand removal work.
[0116] As a preferred solution, as shown in Figure 13 , 14 , the prong module 60 comprises:
[0117] a wavy-shaped transport main groove 601 mounted on the third cross rod 113, and a set of parallelogram mechanisms arranged on both sides of the wavy-shaped transport main groove 601, the two sets of parallelogram mechanisms being symmetrically arranged about the mounting frame 11;
[0118] The parallelogram mechanism comprises:
[0119] A fourth connecting rod 602 and a fifth connecting rod 603 arranged in parallel, one end of the fourth connecting rod 602 and the fifth connecting rod 603 are respectively hinged to the side wall of the wave-shaped main transport groove 601;
[0120] The shifting fork module 60 further comprises:
[0121] A power mechanism arranged on the mounting frame 11, the output end of the power mechanism is connected to the input end of the fourth connecting rod 602 and the fifth connecting rod 603 respectively;
[0122] Two horizontally arranged wave-shaped auxiliary transport grooves 604, the two wave-shaped auxiliary transport grooves 604 are symmetrically arranged about the wave-shaped main transport groove 601, the other end of the fourth connecting rod 602 and the fifth connecting rod 603 are respectively hinged to the side wall of the wave-shaped auxiliary transport groove 604;
[0123] The wave-shaped recesses on the wave-shaped main transport groove 601 and the wave-shaped auxiliary transport groove 604 are matched with the shape of the rhizome crops when they are laid horizontally, so that the transport groove can fit the contour of the rhizome crops and avoid damaging the rhizome crops during transportation.
[0124] In specific implementation, taking the harvesting of taro as an example, the collection claws 507 lift the taro upward, after reaching the highest point (as shown in Figure 15 , the circles in the figure represent rhizome crops, and the arrows represent the movement trend), the collection claws 507 will continue to move back to their initial position, and the collection claws 507 will move upward and backward during the return journey, at this time, the taro in the collection claws 507 will naturally slide from the tail of the collection claws 507 to the wave-shaped transport groove of the shifting fork module 60 below, the power mechanism drives the fourth connecting rod 602 and the fifth connecting rod 603 to rotate synchronously, due to the arrangement of the parallelogram mechanism, the wave-shaped auxiliary transport groove 604 continuously reciprocates within a certain range and always maintains a horizontal state, the taro is continuously lifted upward from the last groove of the wave-shaped main transport groove 601 by the wave-shaped auxiliary transport groove 604 and falls downward to the next groove of the wave-shaped main transport groove 601, each time the taro is lifted, the taro falling in the wave-shaped main transport groove 601 will move a certain displacement to the rear, until the taro reaches the transport end of the wave-shaped main transport groove 601 and falls into the storage box 70.
[0125] The forking module mainly utilizes its mechanical characteristics of reciprocating motion to improve the efficiency of transportation. After the root crops are harvested into the forking module, the efficient transportation process can be carried out without separate transportation. In addition, this mechanism has high fault tolerance, which eliminates the waste of work such as empty load that may occur during individual transportation. The uninterrupted transmission mechanism can ensure that each root crop can be transported when it comes. Moreover, the operation complexity of this mechanism is low, and the possibility of mistakes is greatly reduced without too many complex mechanical movements.
[0126] As a supplement to the above preferred embodiments, as shown in Figure 13 、 14 , the top of the wave-shaped transportation main groove 601 is wave-shaped, the tail of the wave-shaped transportation main groove 601 is a downward slope, and the end of the slope is the transportation end of the forking module 60. A transportation plate 701 is arranged at the end of the slope, the transportation plate 701 is connected with the vehicle frame, a storage box 70 is arranged on one side of the transportation plate 701, and the top inlet of the storage box 70 is in communication with the transportation plate 701. The wave-shaped transportation main groove 601 comprises:
[0127] Two wave-shaped middle plates 605 are arranged on the third cross rod 113 in a spaced manner, and the two wave-shaped middle plates 605 are symmetrically arranged about the mounting frame 11. The side wall of the wave-shaped middle plate 605 is the side wall of the wave-shaped transportation main groove 601.
[0128] Two wave-shaped strip plates 606 are symmetrically arranged about the mounting frame 11, and the two wave-shaped strip plates 606 are arranged on the outer sides of the two wave-shaped middle plates 605, respectively. The two wave-shaped strip plates 606 are connected with the top of the respective one side wave-shaped middle plate 605.
[0129] The wave-shaped transportation main groove 601 is designed as a whole screen shape. In the process of being continuously lifted and dropped, the root crops can be rubbed to remove some soil adhered to the roots of the root crops.
[0130] More specifically, mud scraping plates 608 are arranged on both sides above the forking module 60, and the mud scraping plates 608 are connected with the vehicle frame 10. The mud scraping plates 608 on both sides are arranged with the opening downward, and a plurality of mud removing brushes are arranged on the mud scraping plates 608. In cooperation with the forking module 60, the friction between the root crops and the mud removing brushes during the transportation process can remove most of the soil adhered to the roots of the root crops. When the root crops reach the storage box 70, the root crops are in a relatively clean state, which facilitates subsequent transportation and other processing of the root crops, and maximizes the saving of labor costs.
[0131] In the process of realizing this application, the inventors discovered that the transfer module 50 and the fork mechanism 60 need to jointly undertake the transportation of root and tuber crops, and they need to cooperate with each other to complete the receiving of root and tuber crops. However, since the fork mechanism 60 is constantly in reciprocating motion, errors and omissions are inevitable in the process of receiving root and tuber crops from the transfer module 50.
[0132] To address the above problems, this application provides a preferred solution, such as... Figure 14 As shown, the power mechanism is the fourth motor 501, whose output shaft is the output end of the power mechanism. The input ends of the fourth link 602 and the fifth link 603 are connected to the output shaft of the fourth motor 501 through two sets of gear modules 80. The two sets of gear modules 80 are symmetrically arranged about the mounting bracket 11. The gear module 80 includes:
[0133] The first gear 801 is connected to the output shaft of the fourth motor 501. The output shaft of the fourth motor 501 passes through the first gear 801 and is connected to one end of the third rocker 502.
[0134] The second gear 802 is mounted on one side of the third crossbar 113 via a gear bracket 803. The gear bracket 803 is located between the fourth motor 501 and the third crossbar 113. The second gear 802 meshes with the first gear 801.
[0135] The third gear 804 is disposed on the side wall of the wave-shaped main transport trough 601. The third gear 804 is located between the fourth link 602 and the fifth link 603, and the third gear 804 meshes with the second gear 802.
[0136] Two fourth gears 805 are respectively set on both sides of the third gear 804 on the side wall of the wave-shaped transport main trough 601. One end of the fourth connecting rod 602 and the fifth connecting rod 603 are respectively connected to the two fourth gears 805 and rotate coaxially. The two fourth gears 805 mesh with the third gear 804 respectively.
[0137] As a preferred embodiment, the first gear 801 has the same number of teeth as the two fourth gears 805.
[0138] In the gear set module 80, the first gear 801 is the driving element, driven by the fourth motor 501, and the third rocker 502 of the transfer module is connected coaxially with the first gear 801 to rotate; the power is transmitted by the intermediate second gear 802 and the third gear 804, and the fourth connecting rod 602 and the fifth connecting rod 603 of the fork module are connected coaxially with the fourth gear 805 to rotate. Since the first gear 801 and the fourth gear 805 have the same number of teeth, when the transfer module 50 moves one cycle, the fork module 60 also moves one cycle. By adjusting the initial positions of the transfer module 50 and the fork module 60, the wavy transport groove of the fork module 60 can receive the root crops rolled off from the collection claws 507 of the transfer module 50. In this way, the two groups of mechanisms can periodically move together to complete the receiving and transporting of the root crops. Therefore, the working process of the combined mechanism is as follows: the collection claws 507 in the transfer module 50 receive the root crops dug up by the digging shovel 408, and the collection claws 507 are lifted upward under the drive of the fourth rocker 503; due to the power transmission of the gear set module 80, the fork module 60 moves simultaneously, and when the collection claws 507 reach the highest position, the root crops will roll onto the wavy transport groove moving below, and the transport groove will gradually transport the root crops to the storage box 70 behind, and in this process, the transfer module 50 resets to complete one cycle of movement and prepare for the next transfer. The relative positions of the transfer module 50 and the fork module 60 when receiving are shown in Figure 15
[0139] The combined mechanism of the transfer module and the fork module through the gear set module transmits power under the drive of one motor to realize the receiving, lifting, mud removing, and transporting four actions, improve the mechanical efficiency, greatly reduce the number of driving motors required to complete the corresponding functions, reduce the driving elements in the mechanism, facilitate the use and maintenance of the harvester, and are more stable and reliable than the mechanical cooperation of the two groups of modules through the circuit control.
[0140] As a preferred scheme, the energy storage system is arranged on the side of the vehicle frame 10 away from the storage box 70, and the solar panel 90 is arranged on the top. The energy storage system supplies power to each mechanism by using a 12v large-capacity model airplane lithium battery, and the solar panel arranged on the top can assist the battery in charging and power supply.

Other root crops / potatoes similar to taro are also applicable, and the automatic harvesting of stem and leaf cutting, digging, mud removing, collecting, and transporting can also be realized during harvesting.
[0142] The rhizome crop integrated harvesting device provided by the application mainly comprises a traveling module, a cutting module, a digging module, a transfer module and a fork module, and the whole process of rhizome crop harvesting is completed by mutual cooperation between the modules. The cutting module uses the slow stroke of the crank rocker mechanism as the working stroke to reduce the impact of the blade when contacting the stems and leaves of the rhizome crop, and the fast stroke is the return stroke, so that the mechanism can reach the preparation state at a faster speed; the digging module uses the labor-saving lever structure of the crank rocker mechanism to reduce the torque required by the prime mover when digging the rhizome crop, thereby improving the mechanical efficiency, wherein the crank serves as the prime mover, the slow stroke of the crank rocker is used as the working stroke to reduce the impact generated when the digging shovel contacts the soil, and the fast stroke is the return stroke, so that the mechanism can reach the preparation state at a faster speed; the transfer module is driven by a double rocker mechanism, and the power is transmitted to the fork module through a gear set module, so that the four actions of receiving, lifting, transporting and mud removing are completed by one driving motor. The project can realize continuous operation of rhizome crop harvesting, greatly improve the rhizome crop harvesting efficiency, improve the agricultural mechanization level of rhizome crops, and has strong practicability.
