Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural equipment technology, and in particular to a device for collecting broken branches. Background Technology

[0002] A wood chipper, also known as a mobile wood chipper, garden wood chipper, or mobile shredder, is a new type of mobile, environmentally friendly crushing equipment used to shred waste branches, twigs, scraps, and wood.

[0003] For example, application number CN202120530610.8 discloses a branch-breaking device for clearing garden branches. The collection bin and the branch-breaking machine's main body are connected via a plug-in joint and locked in place by a locking assembly. The branch-breaking machine itself breaks up the branches, and the collection bin collects the fragments, preventing some of the branch debris from being released into the air and polluting the environment. This method improves the efficiency of branch clearing to some extent.

[0004] However, the following technical problems still exist: The collection box and the chipper body are arranged horizontally in sequence, meaning their side plates are interconnected to collect chippers and debris. However, separating the collection box from the chipper body is cumbersome, requiring manual movement and emptying of the collection box. During this process, because the opening of the collection box is located on the side plate, chippers easily spill out of the opening when it is pulled from the chipper body or when encountering uneven terrain, polluting the working environment, increasing the difficulty of subsequent cleanup, and reducing operational efficiency. Furthermore, the overall structure is relatively complex and occupies a large area, limiting its application in environments with limited space or complex terrain.

[0005] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a shredder device that can collect shredded branches, thereby solving the technical problem in the existing technology where the design of the collection box and its connection with the shredder body is flawed.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0028] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a twig-chopping device that can collect twig fragments, including a frame, a twig-chopping machine 4, and a collecting component 5. The frame is provided with a sliding groove 102, the collecting component 5 has an upward-opening collecting cavity 501, and the collecting component 5 is provided with a sliding frame 6. The sliding frame 6 is slidably engaged with the sliding groove 102 and is connected to the frame through a first locking component 7. The twig-chopping machine 4 is mounted on the frame, and the discharge port of the twig-chopping machine 4 extends above the collecting cavity 501.

[0029] The sliding frame 6 on the storage component 5 slides into the groove 102 on the frame, and the two are also connected by the first locking component 7, allowing for convenient installation, disassembly, and fixing of the storage component 5 without complicated separation operations, facilitating cleaning and replacement. The upward-facing opening of the storage component 5 and the position of the discharge port of the shredder 4 ensure that when the shredder 4 is working, the shredded branches fall effectively and directly into the storage cavity 501 of the storage component 5 through the discharge port, effectively reducing the risk of branch scattering. Furthermore, the overall structure of this invention is compact, occupies little space, and is suitable for working environments with limited space or complex terrain, improving the applicability and flexibility of the device.

[0030] It should be noted that this utility model does not improve the crushing mechanism of the wood chipper 4; the wood chipper 4 adopts existing technology.

[0031] As an optional implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the feeding assembly of the shredder 4 is a two-section foldable structure, including a first feeding cylinder 401 and a second feeding cylinder 402 arranged sequentially along the feeding direction. The first feeding cylinder 401 and the second feeding cylinder 402 are connected by multiple hinge components 9 and a second locking component 10. The hinge components 9 and the second locking component 10 are arranged sequentially along the connection between the first feeding cylinder 401 and the second feeding cylinder 402, so that the first feeding cylinder 401 and the second feeding cylinder 402 can be folded and locked relative to each other.

[0032] Furthermore, the hinge assembly 9 includes a hinged hinge element as in the prior art.

[0033] The hinge assembly 9 allows the first feed cylinder 401 and the second feed cylinder 402 to be folded and unfolded. The second locking assembly 10 ensures the connection stability of the first feed cylinder 401 and the second feed cylinder 402 in the unfolded state.

[0034] The structure of the second locking assembly 10 is the same as that of the first locking assembly 7, including a second locking base 1001, a second handle 1002, a second locking ring 1003, a second safety element and a second safety seat 1004 disposed on the second locking base 1001, and a second locking block 1005.

[0035] The second handle 1002 is rotatably connected to the second locking base 1001, meaning that the second handle 1002 can rotate relative to the second locking base 1001 to lock or release.

[0036] The second locking ring 1003 is rotatably connected to the second handle 1002. The second locking block 1005 has a hook portion that bends away from the second locking ring 1003. The second locking ring 1003 and the hook portion of the second locking block 1005 are engaged. The second locking ring 1003 can rotate relative to the second handle 1002 to engage or disengage with the second locking block 1005, thereby locking or unlocking.

[0037] The second safety seat 1004 has a fixing hole for installing a second safety component to lock the relative position of the second handle 1002 and the second locking base 1001, preventing the second handle 1002 from rotating accidentally.

[0038] When it is necessary to lock the first feed cylinder 401 and the second feed cylinder 402, the second locking ring 1003 rotates and engages with the hook portion of the second locking block 1005, and the second handle 1002 is rotated to the locked position, that is, it is sleeved on the second safety seat 1004. The second safety component locks the second handle 1002 through the fixing hole to prevent it from rotating accidentally.

[0039] When it is necessary to unlock the first feed cylinder 401 and the second feed cylinder 402, first release the second safety element, and then rotate the second handle 1002 and the second locking ring 1003 to separate the second locking ring 1003 from the second locking block 1005.

[0040] Most existing shredders have a one-piece feed cylinder, which occupies a large space and has limited use. In contrast, this invention adopts a two-section foldable structure for the feed assembly, which can be folded or unfolded according to usage needs, greatly reducing space occupation and facilitating carrying and transportation.

[0041] As an optional implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the frame includes an upper base 1, a side frame 2, and a lower base 3 connected in sequence.

[0048] The purpose of outrigger 12 is to provide additional support.

[0049] When the outrigger 12 and the moving wheel 1101 of the moving wheel set 11 are on the ground together, the bottom plate of the lower base 3 tilts downward in the direction toward the outrigger 12, and the top plate 101 is in a horizontal state.

[0050] When the device is in motion, the moving wheel 1101 touches the ground, the outrigger 12 leaves the ground, the top plate 101 tilts downward in the direction toward the moving wheel 1101, and the bottom plate is in a horizontal state, which facilitates movement.

[0051] As an optional implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the storage component 5 includes a storage bag, the open end of which is connected to the sliding frame 6 for opening the storage bag.

[0052] Furthermore, the open end of the storage bag is connected to the inner side of the sliding frame 6, so that the storage bag can move along with the sliding frame 6 when it slides in the groove 102.

[0053] The shape of the outer surface of the sliding frame 6 is adapted to the slide groove 102, so that the sliding frame 6 can slide smoothly and steadily within the slide groove 102.

[0054] As an optional implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, a locking plate 8 is provided on the sliding frame 6.

[0056] The first handle 702 is rotatably connected to the first locking base 701, meaning that the first handle 702 can rotate relative to the first locking base 701 to lock or release.

[0057] The first locking ring 703 is rotatably connected to the first handle 702. The first locking block 705 has a hook portion that bends away from the first locking ring 703. The first locking ring 703 and the hook portion of the first locking block 705 are engaged. The first locking ring 703 can rotate relative to the first handle 702 to engage or disengage with the first locking block 705, thereby locking or unlocking.

[0058] The first safety seat 704 has a fixing hole for installing the first safety component to lock the relative position of the first handle 702 and the first locking base 701, preventing the first handle 702 from rotating accidentally.

[0059] When it is necessary to lock the storage component 5 and the top plate 101, the first locking ring 703 rotates and engages with the hook portion of the first locking block 705, and the first handle 702 is rotated to the locked position, that is, it is fitted onto the first safety seat 704. The first safety component locks the first handle 702 through the fixing hole to prevent it from rotating accidentally.

[0060] When unlocking is required, first release the first safety element, then rotate the first handle 702 and the first locking ring 703 to separate the first locking ring 703 from the first locking block 705, thereby unlocking and disassembling the storage component 5.

[0061] The locking plate 8 has two notches that cooperate with the sliding frame 6 to form a gripping area, making it easy for operators to grip the storage unit 5 when moving or adjusting it.
