Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forestry production equipment technology, specifically to a fully automatic chestnut picking machine. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, chestnut harvesting typically involves chestnuts falling automatically from branches or being knocked to the ground by hand, and then being collected by people using chestnut-picking devices or tools. Since chestnut plantations are usually located in mountainous and hilly areas and cover a large area, manual harvesting is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient.
[0003] In response, some chestnut-collecting machines have appeared on the market to replace manual collection. However, currently, chestnut-collecting machines can only collect chestnuts from the ground and cannot perform the chestnut shelling operation. After the chestnuts are collected, manual shelling is still required, which is very troublesome.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a fully automatic chestnut picking machine that can simultaneously perform chestnut shelling during the picking process, thereby saving a significant amount of human resources. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and propose a fully automatic chestnut picking machine that can simultaneously perform chestnut shelling during the picking process, thereby saving a lot of manpower.
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a fully automatic chestnut picking machine, comprising a hollow body with an open bottom, a plurality of moving wheels arranged on the lower side of the body, a picking module, a shelling module and a housing arranged sequentially inside the body, the picking module comprising two picking rollers rotatably disposed inside the body and rotating in opposite directions, the shelling module comprising a shelling plate fixedly disposed inside the body and a shelling roller rotatably disposed inside the body and located above the shelling plate, a scraper disposed between the picking module and the shelling module, a first motor for driving the two picking rollers to rotate and a second motor for driving the shelling roller to rotate on the body, the gap between the scraper and the shelling plate being smaller than the size of the chestnut.
[0007] The outer wall of the pickup roller has multiple insertion holes, and pins are detachably installed on the insertion holes.
[0008] The first motor output end is provided with a first gear, which meshes with a second gear rotatably disposed on the outer wall of the main body. The second gear meshes with a third gear and a fourth gear rotatably disposed on the outer wall of the main body. The third gear meshes with a fifth gear rotatably disposed on the outer wall of the main body. The fourth gear and the fifth gear are respectively connected to two pickup rollers.
[0009] The output end of the second motor is provided with a sixth gear, which meshes with a seventh gear that is rotatably disposed on the outer wall of the main body, and the seventh gear is connected to the shell-splitting roller.
[0010] The main body is equipped with a motor driver for controlling the first motor and the second motor.
[0011] The main body is equipped with a Bluetooth module for remote operation.
[0012] The main body is equipped with a development board.
[0013] The main body is equipped with a power supply component.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: in the process of automatically picking chestnuts, this utility model realizes the automatic shelling operation of chestnuts, eliminating the need for additional manual shelling operations and greatly saving human resources.

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0019] It should be noted that the directional concepts of "left", "right", "up", "down", "front", "back", "inner", and "outer" in the following scheme are all relative directions, and will not be listed one by one here.
[0020] A fully automatic chestnut picking machine, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2It includes a main body 1. The main body 1 is hollow inside and has openings on the top and bottom. Four casters 11 are provided on the bottom of the main body 1. Inside the main body 1, from front to back, there are a pickup module 2, a scraper 5, a shell-cutting module 3, and a housing 4.
[0021] The pickup module 2 includes two parallel pickup rollers 21 rotatably mounted on the main body 1. Multiple insertion holes 22 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of each pickup roller 21, and pins are detachably mounted on each insertion hole 22. A first motor 23 is mounted on the main body 1, and a first gear 24 is mounted at the output end of the first motor 23.
