Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Angelica harvesting machine technology, and in particular to a vibratory Angelica harvesting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Angelica sinensis, also known as the "holy medicine for women's health," is a perennial herb belonging to the genus Angelica in the family Apiaceae. Its dried root is a commonly used blood-tonifying and blood-activating herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Harvesting Angelica sinensis requires removing its roots from the soil. Due to the large workload, a vibrating Angelica sinensis harvesting machine is typically used to dig the roots out of the soil and separate the soil from the root through vibration to complete the harvest.

[0003] Patent document CN218998872U discloses a vibratory angelica harvester, belonging to the field of agricultural production equipment technology. The vibratory angelica harvester includes a frame, a mounting frame, wheels, a drive mechanism, a screening mechanism, and harvesting components. The frame is mounted on the rear of a tractor via the mounting frame, and the harvesting components for harvesting angelica are installed on the frame. The harvesting components are adjustable. The frame also has a screening mechanism for separating angelica from soil, and the screening mechanism is connected to the drive mechanism, which enables the screening mechanism to vibrate linearly. The frame is also equipped with wheels for easy movement. In use, the adjustable harvesting components prevent the angelica from being broken during harvesting, ensuring the quality of the harvested angelica. The drive mechanism causes the screening mechanism to vibrate linearly, separating the harvested angelica from the soil, facilitating subsequent unified collection of the angelica and improving harvesting efficiency.

[0004] In the above comparison, although the transport chain can vibrate during the transport of Angelica sinensis to separate the Angelica sinensis from the soil, when the soil clumps together, the vibration does not easily remove the soil from the Angelica sinensis. This means that after harvesting, the Angelica sinensis still needs to be manually desoiled a second time, which affects the harvesting efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model discloses a vibrating angelica harvester, which aims to solve the technical problem that although the conveyor chain can vibrate during the transport of angelica to separate the angelica from the soil, when the soil clumps together, the vibration does not easily remove the soil from the angelica, so that the angelica still needs to be manually desoiled after harvesting, which affects the harvesting efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A vibratory Angelica harvester includes a harvester assembly, the harvester assembly including a frame, the frame having a conveyor chain inside, and a crushing component inside the frame near the conveying end of the conveyor chain.

[0008] The crushing assembly includes a second motor rotatably connected to the outside of the frame near the conveyor chain end. A rotating shaft is provided inside the frame near the conveyor chain end. One end of the rotating shaft passes through the frame and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor. A rotating plate is provided on the outer surface of the rotating shaft. A telescopic spring is provided at the upper end of the frame near the conveyor chain end. A support plate is provided at the end of the telescopic spring away from the frame. A movable rod is provided at the bottom end of the support plate. A crushing roller is provided inside the movable rod.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the harvester assembly further includes a first motor disposed above the side of the frame near the conveyor chain end, a coupling connected to the output shaft of the first motor, a transmission box disposed on the outside of the frame, the two ends of the transmission box being connected to the coupling and the conveyor chain respectively, and a moving wheel disposed below the side of the frame away from the conveyor chain end.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the rotating shaft passes through the center of the rotating plate, the rotating plate is located above the movable rod, and the bottom end of the crushing roller is lower than the bottom end of the movable rod.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the crushing rollers are made of rubber and are located on both sides below the rotating shaft, with the inner side of the support plate in contact with the inner side of the frame.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a collection assembly is provided at the outer end of the frame away from the conveyor chain end. The collection assembly includes a collection box located at the outer end of the frame away from the conveyor chain end. A fixing plate is provided at the outer end of the collection box. A third motor is provided at the upper end of the fixing plate. A lead screw is provided on the inner side of the fixing plate. One end of the lead screw passes through the fixing plate and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the third motor. A sliding plate is provided on the outer surface of the lead screw. A baffle is provided at the end of the sliding plate near the collection box. A movable column is provided at the bottom end of the baffle. A base plate is provided on the outer surface of the movable column. A guide column is provided at the end of the base plate away from the movable column.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the slide plate and the guide column are slidably connected to the center of the inside of the collection box, the length of the slide plate being the same as the height of the collection box, and the guide column being slidably connected to the lower end of the inside of the collection box.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the base plate is located on both sides of the lower end inside the collection box, and the outer side of the base plate near the guide post contacts the inner wall of the collection box.

[0015] As can be seen from the above, the vibratory angelica harvester provided by this utility model has the following technical effects.

[0016] Firstly, before the angelica and soil are shoveled from the ground onto the conveyor chain, the second motor drives the rotating plate to rotate via the rotating shaft. This causes the rotating plate to press down on the movable rod, which in turn drives the crushing roller to move downward and contact the soil. The crushing roller presses down on the soil, breaking up the clumps of soil into small pieces without damaging the angelica inside, thus facilitating the separation of the soil from the angelica.

[0017] Secondly, when the rotating plate rotates under the drive of the rotating shaft, it will not press down on the movable rod when it is in a horizontal state. However, when the movable rod is pressing down, it will drive the support plate to press down. When the movable rod stops pressing down, the support plate will drive the movable rod to reset under the elastic force of the telescopic spring, so that the crushing roller can reset upward. The crushing roller can then reciprocate, thus preventing it from constantly pressing down on the soil and causing the soil to be crushed too small, resulting in a large amount of dust at the harvesting site.

[0018] Thirdly, during the harvesting of angelica, the conveyor chain transports the harvested angelica to the collection box for centralized processing. This prevents the angelica from scattering on the ground after being transported by the conveyor chain, which would otherwise require operators to use rakes to gather the angelica, thus reducing the workload of the operators.

[0019] Fourthly: The third motor drives the lead screw to rotate, which in turn drives the slide plate to move the baffle and the movable column vertically. The vertical movement of the movable column causes the base plate to tilt, which can tilt the Angelica inside the collection box downward from the top of the base plate, allowing for linear or fixed-point discharge of the Angelica.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A vibratory Angelica harvester includes a harvester assembly, which includes a frame 11. A transmission chain 15 is arranged inside the frame 11, and a crushing component is arranged inside the frame 11 on one side near the conveying end of the transmission chain 15.

[0030] The crushing assembly includes a second motor 21 rotatably connected to the outside of the frame 11 near the conveying end of the conveyor chain 15. A rotating shaft 22 is provided inside the frame 11 near the conveying end of the conveyor chain 15. One end of the rotating shaft 22 passes through the frame 11 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 21. A rotating plate 23 is provided on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 22. A telescopic spring 24 is provided at the upper end of the frame 11 near the conveying end of the conveyor chain 15. A support plate 25 is provided at the end of the telescopic spring 24 away from the frame 11. A movable rod 26 is provided at the bottom end of the support plate 25. A crushing roller 27 is provided inside the movable rod 26.

[0031] In this embodiment, the conveyor chain 15 is placed at an angle by the frame 11, and then the angelica and soil are shoveled up and sent to the conveyor end of the conveyor chain 15 by the frame 11. Before the angelica and soil are sent to the conveyor end of the conveyor chain 15, the second motor 21 is started, which drives the rotating shaft 22 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 22 drives the rotating plate 23 to rotate. When the rotating plate 23 rotates to the vertical position, the rotating plate 23 presses down on the movable rod 26. The pressing down of the movable rod 26 drives the crushing roller 27 to press down, so that the crushing roller 27 can squeeze the clump of soil, expose the angelica inside and crush the clump of soil.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the harvester assembly further includes a first motor 12 disposed above the side of the frame 11 near the conveying end of the transmission chain 15. A coupling 13 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 12. A transmission box 14 is disposed on the outside of the frame 11. Both ends of the transmission box 14 are connected to the coupling 13 and the transmission chain 15, respectively. A moving wheel 16 is disposed below the side of the frame 11 away from the conveying end of the transmission chain 15. A rotating shaft 22 passes through the center of the rotating plate 23. The rotating plate 23 is located above the movable rod 26. The bottom end of the crushing roller 27 is lower than the bottom end of the movable rod 26. The crushing roller 27 is made of rubber and is located on both sides below the rotating shaft 22. The inner side of the support plate 25 is in contact with the inner side of the frame 11.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the second motor 21 drives the rotating plate 23 to rotate to a horizontal state via the rotating shaft 22, the rotating plate 23 does not press down on the movable rod 26, so that the movable rod 26 and the support plate 25 move upward under the elastic force of the telescopic spring 24 to reset. The upward movement of the movable rod 26 drives the crushing roller 27 to move upward, so that the crushing roller 27 can perform vertical reciprocating movement.

[0034] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6In a preferred embodiment, a collection assembly is provided at the outer end of the frame 11 away from the conveying end of the conveyor chain 15. The collection assembly includes a collection box 31 located at the outer end of the frame 11 away from the conveying end of the conveyor chain 15. A fixing plate 32 is provided at the outer end of the collection box 31. A third motor 33 is provided at the upper end of the fixing plate 32. A lead screw is provided on the inner side of the fixing plate 32. One end of the lead screw passes through the fixing plate 32 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the third motor 33. A sliding plate 34 is provided on the outer surface of the lead screw. The sliding plate 34 is close to the collection box 31. A baffle 35 is provided at one end, a movable column 36 is provided at the bottom end of the baffle 35, a base plate 37 is provided on the outer surface of the movable column 36, and a guide column 38 is provided at the end of the base plate 37 away from the movable column 36. The sliding plate 34 and the movable column 36 are slidably connected to the center of the inside of the collection box 31. The length of the sliding plate 34 is the same as the height of the collection box 31. The guide column 38 is slidably connected to the lower end of the inside of the collection box 31. The base plate 37 is located on both sides of the lower end of the inside of the collection box 31. The outer side of the base plate 37 near the guide column 38 is in contact with the inner wall of the collection box 31.

[0035] In this embodiment, after being vibrated and transported by the conveyor chain 15 during harvesting, the Angelica sinensis enters the collection box 31. By controlling the state of the third motor 33, the position of the bottom plate 37 inside the collection box 31 can be controlled, thereby collecting or discharging the Angelica sinensis.

[0036] Working principle: During use, after the shovel at the lower end of the frame 11 scoops up the angelica and soil, but before the angelica and soil move onto the conveyor chain 15, the second motor 21 is started. The second motor 21 drives the rotating shaft 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating plate 23 to rotate. When the rotating plate 23 rotates to a vertical position, it presses down on the movable rod 26. During the downward pressing of the movable rod 26, it drives the crushing roller 27 to press down, and the movable rod 26 also drives the support plate 25 to press down. The downward pressing of the crushing roller 27 directly crushes the clumps of soil. The soil is compressed and broken into small pieces, exposing the angelica root. The support plate 25 presses down, causing the telescopic spring 24 to stretch and generate elastic force. When the rotating plate 23 rotates to a horizontal position, it does not press down on the movable rod 26. Under the elastic force of the telescopic spring 24, the support plate 25 and the movable rod 26 return to their original position and move upwards. The movable rod 26 drives the crushing roller 27 to move upwards, causing the crushing roller 27 to perform vertical reciprocating motion, rather than continuously compressing and crushing the soil. When the soil and angelica root move onto the conveyor chain 15, the first motor 1... 2. The conveyor chain 15 rotates and vibrates, causing the soil and angelica on the conveyor chain 15 to vibrate at the upper end of the conveyor chain 15, thereby separating the soil and angelica. The conveyor chain 15 then transports the angelica into the collection box 31. At this point, if there is no need to discharge the angelica, or if the angelica needs to be discharged at a fixed point or linearly, the third motor 33 is controlled to rotate, causing the lead screw to rotate. The lead screw converts the circular motion into linear motion, causing the slide plate 34 to move vertically. The slide plate 34 moves until it causes the baffle 35 and the movable column 36 to move vertically. The moving column 36 moves, causing one end of the base plate 37 to move vertically upwards, while the other end of the base plate 37 is limited by the guide column 38, making the base plate 37 triangular. The end of the base plate 38 near the guide column 37 separates from the collection box 31, so it does not obstruct the angelica, allowing the angelica to be discharged downwards. By always keeping the base plate 37 in a state of not obstructing the angelica, linear discharge can be achieved. By controlling the base plate 37 to obstruct the angelica, that is, by making the end of the base plate 37 near the guide column 38 contact the inner wall of the collection box 31, the angelica will not be discharged.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
