Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ryegrass harvesting technology, specifically to a mechanized ryegrass harvesting device. Background Technology

[0002] Ryegrass is a perennial herbaceous plant with culms 30-90 cm tall. It has soft roots at the basal nodes and tender leaves, and is a widely cultivated and excellent forage grass. It grows in meadows, pastures, and is commonly found in roadsides and wetlands. Ryegrass is not only useful for environmental remediation, but also frequently used as animal feed due to its high nutritional content. It also has considerable economic value and is widely used as pasture or turfgrass.

[0003] For large areas of ryegrass pastures, a self-propelled ryegrass harvester (or cutter) is usually used for harvesting. The self-propelled ryegrass harvester can quickly cut the ryegrass on the pasture, improving the efficiency of cutting ryegrass and is suitable for large-scale harvesting and cutting of ryegrass.

[0004] Among the aforementioned technologies, self-propelled ryegrass harvesters can only cut ryegrass but lack a collection function. Manual collection of the cut ryegrass from the pasture is still required, which is inefficient and labor-intensive. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a mechanized harvesting device that facilitates the collection of ryegrass. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mechanized ryegrass harvesting device, which aims to improve the problem of inconvenient ryegrass collection in the existing technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A mechanized ryegrass harvesting device includes a tractor head, a reciprocating mowing mechanism, a first forage conveyor, a second forage conveyor, a third forage conveyor, and a collection box. The reciprocating mowing mechanism is located in front of the tractor head. The first forage conveyor is located between the reciprocating mowing mechanism and the tractor head. The reciprocating cutting direction of the reciprocating mowing mechanism and the feeding direction of the first forage conveyor are both perpendicular to the travel direction of the tractor head. The collection box is located behind the tractor head. The second forage conveyor is inclined and located on one side of the travel direction of the tractor head. The inlet end of the second forage conveyor is the lowest end and is connected to the outlet end of the first forage conveyor. The outlet end of the second forage conveyor is the highest end and is connected to the third forage conveyor. The outlet end of the third forage conveyor is connected to the collection box.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a walking bracket, the bottom of which is equipped with wheels, and the walking bracket is detachably connected to the tractor head, with the collection box located on the walking bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, the collection box has an opening on one side wall, and a panel is hinged to the opening side wall of the collection box.

[0010] Furthermore, the walking bracket is equipped with a tilting hydraulic cylinder, one end of which is hinged to the walking bracket and the other end is hinged to the bottom of the collection box.

[0011] Furthermore, the surface of the second forage conveyor is provided with multiple anti-slip plates at intervals along the feeding direction.

[0012] Furthermore, a mounting plate is provided in front of the tractor head, and a lifting hydraulic cylinder and a guide rod are vertically arranged on the mounting plate. A lifting plate is provided at the upper end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder, and a guide hole is opened on the lifting plate. The guide rod passes through the guide hole and slides with the lifting plate. The reciprocating mowing mechanism and the first hay conveyor are both located on the lifting plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] In this invention, when harvesting ryegrass from a large area of ​​pasture, the mechanized harvesting device is driven into the pasture, and the reciprocating mowing mechanism is activated. The tractor head moves forward, driving the entire machine forward. Simultaneously, the reciprocating mowing mechanism cuts the ryegrass in front of the tractor head. As the machine moves forward, the cut ryegrass falls towards the tractor head, onto the first forage conveyor. The first forage conveyor then transports the ryegrass to the second forage conveyor, which in turn transports it to the third forage conveyor. The third forage conveyor then transports the ryegrass to a collection box behind the tractor head for temporary storage. This solution allows for timely collection of the cut ryegrass, reducing the labor intensity of manual ryegrass collection to a certain extent, and also improving collection efficiency.

[0020] 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.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] A mechanized harvesting device for ryegrass, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The system includes a tractor head 1, a reciprocating mowing mechanism 2, a first forage conveyor 3, a second forage conveyor 4, a third forage conveyor 5, and a collection box 6. The reciprocating mowing mechanism 2 is located in front of the tractor head 1. The first forage conveyor 3 is located between the reciprocating mowing mechanism 2 and the tractor head 1. The reciprocating cutting direction of the reciprocating mowing mechanism 2 and the feeding direction of the first forage conveyor 3 are both perpendicular to the traveling direction of the tractor head 1. The collection box 6 is located behind the tractor head 1. The second forage conveyor 4 is inclined and located on one side of the traveling direction of the tractor head 1. The inlet end of the second forage conveyor 4 is the lowest end and is connected to the outlet end of the first forage conveyor 3. The outlet end of the second forage conveyor 4 is the highest end and is connected to the third forage conveyor 5. The outlet end of the third forage conveyor 5 is connected to the collection box 6.

[0023] The first fodder conveyor 3, the second fodder conveyor 4, and the third fodder conveyor 5 can all be belt conveyors. The first fodder conveyor 3 can also be a reel or a conveying rake structure.

[0024] The reciprocating mowing mechanism 2 includes a reciprocating cutter and a reciprocating linear drive mechanism. The reciprocating cutter includes a fixed blade and a moving blade, both of which are equipped with several cutting teeth. The moving blade is located above the fixed blade. The reciprocating linear drive mechanism drives the moving blade to reciprocate in a circular motion, thereby achieving the cyclic reciprocating cutting of the reciprocating cutter. The reciprocating linear drive mechanism can use a crank-connecting rod mechanism to drive the moving blade to reciprocate linearly on the fixed blade. The reciprocating linear drive mechanism includes a motor, a crank, and a connecting rod. The moving blade is slidably mounted above the fixed blade. The end of the connecting rod away from the crank is connected to one end of the moving blade. The end of the crank away from the connecting rod is connected to the output shaft of the motor. The motor drives the crank to rotate, and the crank drives the moving blade to perform reciprocating linear motion through the connecting rod.

[0025] In this solution, when harvesting ryegrass from a large area of ​​pasture, the mechanized harvesting device of this invention is driven into the pasture, and the reciprocating mowing mechanism 2 is activated. The tractor head 1 moves forward, driving the entire machine forward. Simultaneously, the reciprocating mowing mechanism 2 cuts the ryegrass in front of the tractor head 1. As the machine moves forward, the cut ryegrass falls towards the tractor head 1, onto the first forage conveyor 3. The first forage conveyor 3 then transports the ryegrass to the second forage conveyor 4, which in turn transports it to the third forage conveyor 5. The third forage conveyor 5 then transports the ryegrass to the collection box 6 behind the tractor head 1 for temporary storage. This solution can collect the cut ryegrass in a timely manner, reducing the labor intensity of manual ryegrass collection to a certain extent, and also improving collection efficiency. It should be noted that even if the rye grass is relatively tall, reaching 30-90 cm, the width of the moving and stationary blades of the reciprocating mowing mechanism 2 can be designed to be narrower, so that the rye grass can be more easily dumped onto the first forage conveyor 3 after being cut, thus facilitating the transport of the rye grass to the collection box 6.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] Based on Example 1, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The mechanized ryegrass harvesting device also includes a walking bracket 7, with wheels 8 at the bottom. The walking bracket 7 is detachably connected to the tractor head 1 via pins or bolts, and the collection box 6 is located on the walking bracket 7. By providing wheels 8 at the bottom of the collection box 6, it is convenient for the tractor head 1 to drag the collection box 6. When the ryegrass collection box 6 is not in use, it can be separated from the tractor head 1. When collection is required, the walking bracket 7 can be connected to the tractor head 1, thus improving the flexibility of the mechanized ryegrass harvesting device.

[0028] Example 3

[0029] Based on Example 1, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The collection box 6 has an opening on one side wall, and a side panel 9 is hinged to the opening side wall of the collection box 6. A tilting hydraulic cylinder 15 is installed on the traveling bracket 7. One end of the tilting hydraulic cylinder 15 is hinged to the traveling bracket 7, and the other end is hinged to the bottom of the collection box 6. After the collection box 6 collects ryegrass, the tilting hydraulic cylinder 15 unloads the ryegrass from the collection box 6 onto the planting ground, making it easier for subsequent vehicles to transport the collected ryegrass away.

[0030] Example 4

[0031] Based on Example 1, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The second forage conveyor 4 has multiple anti-slip plates 10 spaced apart along the feeding direction on its surface. Because the second forage conveyor 4 is inclined, the multiple spaced anti-slip plates 10 can reduce the slippage of rye straw during the conveying process to a certain extent.

[0032] Example 5

[0033] Based on Example 1, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 A mounting plate 11 is installed in front of the tractor head 1. A lifting hydraulic cylinder and a guide rod 12 are vertically mounted on the mounting plate 11. A lifting plate 13 is installed above the lifting hydraulic cylinder (the lifting hydraulic cylinder is located between the mounting plate 11 and the lifting plate 13, and is therefore not shown in the attached drawing). A guide hole 14 is opened on the lifting plate 13. The guide rod 12 passes through the guide hole 14 and slides with the lifting plate 13. The reciprocating mowing mechanism 2 and the first hay conveyor 3 are both located on the lifting plate 13. The height of the lifting plate 13 can be adjusted by extending and retracting the lifting hydraulic cylinder, thereby adjusting the height of the reciprocating mowing mechanism 2 and the first hay conveyor 3 from the ground. This facilitates the adjustment of the part of the rye grass cut by the reciprocating mowing mechanism 2 and the stubble height of the rye grass.

[0034] It should be noted that, to improve the overall stability of the machine, a mounting frame can be installed on one side of the tractor head 1. The second and third hay conveyors 4 and 5 are both mounted on the mounting frame. Support wheels can be installed below the mounting frame to support the second and third hay conveyors 4 and 5, facilitating the tractor head 1 to move them. Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
