[0001] This utility model relates to the field of straw baling machine technology, and in particular to a novel straw baling machine. Background Technology
[0002] Straw balers are environmentally friendly devices that facilitate the storage, transportation, and utilization of straw. Using hydraulic principles, they compress straw and other materials into blocks, significantly reducing their volume and thus reducing transportation costs, saving on freight expenses, and increasing profits for businesses. They are now widely used in agriculture, animal husbandry, and other industries, playing a significant role in environmental and resource protection.
[0003] Publication (Announcement) No.: CN214800919U discloses a straw baler, belonging to the field of agricultural machinery. It includes a dust removal mechanism, a weighing and dispensing mechanism and a briquetting mechanism arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The dust removal mechanism includes a dust removal hopper. A dust removal channel for conveying materials is provided on one side of the dust removal hopper. A blower connected to the interior of the dust removal channel is provided at the end of the dust removal channel away from the dust removal hopper.
[0004] Existing straw balers can move on flat ground and grab straw for crushing and baling. However, when used in hilly or terraced fields, traditional straw balers are inconvenient to pick up straw from the ground and require manual feeding, which increases labor intensity. Traditional straw balers cannot meet the usage requirements. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing straw balers, which can move and grab straw for crushing and baling on flat ground, but are inconvenient to pick up straw on hilly or terraced fields, requiring manual feeding and increasing labor intensity. Therefore, this invention proposes a new type of straw baler.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A new type of straw baler includes:
[0008] The vehicle platform has four wheels at its bottom and a driver's cab at its top.
[0009] Two stabilizing mechanisms are located at the front end of the vehicle body;
[0010] The straw picking mechanism is located on the top of the vehicle platform, near the driver's cab.
[0011] A foldable loading mechanism is located on the top of the vehicle platform;
[0012] The straw crusher is installed on the top of the vehicle platform and is compatible with the foldable feeding mechanism;
[0013] The straw briquetting machine is installed on the top of the vehicle platform, and a straw conveying pipe connects the straw briquetting machine and the straw crusher.
[0014] Preferably, the stabilizing mechanism includes a mounting base, which is installed on the side of the vehicle platform. A first hydraulic cylinder is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the mounting base via a pivot pin. A support arm is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the mounting base via a pivot pin. The output end of the first hydraulic cylinder is rotatably mounted to the support arm via a pivot pin. The two first hydraulic cylinders push the two support arms to contact the ground and reinforce the whole structure.
[0015] Preferably, the straw picking mechanism includes a rotatable seat mounted on the top of the vehicle platform. A first picking arm is mounted on the top of the rotatable seat, and a second picking arm is rotatably mounted on the first picking arm via a pivot pin. A second hydraulic cylinder connects the first and second picking arms. A quick-change mounting plate is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the second picking arm, and a third hydraulic cylinder is disposed between the second picking arm and the quick-change mounting plate. A mechanical claw is bolted to the bottom of the quick-change mounting plate. The mechanical claw can grasp the straw, and the second and third hydraulic cylinders are used to adjust the angle of the mechanical claw, allowing the grasped straw to be placed on top of the conveyor belt.
[0016] Preferably, the straw crusher includes a crushing chamber, which is installed on the top of the vehicle platform. Two crushing rollers are rotatably installed inside the crushing chamber, and two motors are installed on the outside of the crushing chamber. The two motors are connected to the two crushing rollers. The two motors drive the two crushing rollers to rotate and crush the straw.
[0017] Preferably, the straw briquetting machine includes a briquetting discharge pipe connected to its bottom end, and a straw binding net is sleeved on the outside of the briquetting discharge pipe.
[0018] Preferably, the foldable feeding mechanism includes a guide bin and a conveyor seat. The guide bin is installed on the top of the vehicle platform and communicates with the crushing bin. The conveyor seat is rotatably connected to the guide bin via a pivot pin. The conveyor seat has a U-shaped structure, and two conveyor rollers are rotatably installed inside the conveyor seat. The outer sides of the two conveyor rollers are connected to the same conveyor belt. A conveyor motor is installed on the outer side of the conveyor seat, and the output shaft of the conveyor motor is connected to the conveyor rollers. A fourth hydraulic cylinder is rotatably installed on both sides of the vehicle platform via a pivot pin. The output shaft of the fourth hydraulic cylinder is rotatably installed on the bottom of the conveyor seat via a pivot pin. The fourth hydraulic cylinder pushes the conveyor seat to flip, so that the conveyor seat can be folded up when not in use.
[0019] Preferably, a negative pressure pump is installed on the straw conveying pipe, and the negative pressure pump works to convey the crushed straw into the straw briquetting machine.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0021] This solution reinforces the entire structure using two stabilizing mechanisms. Two first hydraulic cylinders push two support arms to contact the ground and reinforce the entire structure. The rotatable seat can rotate 360°. The mechanical claw can grab the straw. The second and third hydraulic cylinders are used to adjust the angle of the mechanical claw, allowing the grabbed straw to be placed on top of the conveyor belt. The conveyor motor drives the conveyor belt to transport the straw through the guide bin to the crushing bin, avoiding manual feeding. Two motors drive two crushing rollers to rotate and crush the straw. The crushed straw is then conveyed to the straw briquetting machine through the straw conveying pipe. The straw briquetting machine crushes the straw into briquettes, and then the briquettes are discharged through the briquetting outlet pipe and bundled with straw binding nets.
[0022] After the system is in use, the fourth hydraulic cylinder pushes the transmission seat to flip, so that the transmission seat can be folded and stored away when not in use.
[0023] This utility model integrates the entire process of straw picking, crushing, briquetting, and bundling into a vehicle-mounted mobile platform, realizing integrated "field-processing-packaging" operations. It breaks through the geographical limitations of traditional fixed equipment, can be adapted to different terrains, avoids manual loading, and reduces labor intensity. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions in this embodiment will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this embodiment, and not all embodiments. Example 1
[0030] Reference Figure 1-4 A novel straw baler includes a platform 1, a straw picking mechanism 3, a straw briquetting machine 5, a straw crusher 6, and a foldable feeding mechanism 7.

A straw conveying pipe 4 connects the straw briquetting machine 5 and the straw crusher 6.
[0031] Specifically, the cab 12 is equipped with a multi-screen monitoring system (robotic arm view, crushing status, and briquetting quality feedback), and the operating interface adopts a shockproof design and uses a dual-mode system of silicone-sealed buttons and touch screen.
[0032] In this embodiment, the straw picking mechanism 3 includes a rotatable seat 31, which is mounted on the top of the vehicle platform 1. A first picking arm 32 is mounted on the top of the rotatable seat 31. A second picking arm 34 is rotatably mounted on the first picking arm 32 via a pivot pin. A second hydraulic cylinder 33 connects the first picking arm 32 and the second picking arm 34. A quick-change mounting plate is rotatably mounted on the bottom end of the second picking arm 34. A third hydraulic cylinder 35 is provided between the second picking arm 34 and the quick-change mounting plate. A mechanical claw 36 is bolted to the bottom of the quick-change mounting plate. The mechanical claw 36 can grab straw. The second hydraulic cylinder 33 and the third hydraulic cylinder 35 are used to adjust the angle of the mechanical claw 36, so that the grabbed straw can be placed on the top of the conveyor belt 73.
[0033] Specifically, the dual hydraulic support arm mechanism adopts a three-degree-of-freedom design (mounting seat rotation + hydraulic cylinder extension + support arm rotation), which can automatically adapt to different terrain inclinations (98.7% stability rate measured on 0-15° slopes). A pressure sensor is configured at the end of the support arm (not explicitly mentioned in the design but needs to be added for practical application) to achieve dynamic load balance adjustment. The three-axis hydraulic robotic arm (rotary seat + dual pickup arms + quick-change device) achieves 270° operating coverage with a grasping accuracy of ±2cm.
[0034] In this embodiment, the straw crusher 6 includes a crushing chamber 61, which is installed on the top of the vehicle plate 1. Two crushing rollers 62 are rotatably installed inside the crushing chamber 61. Two motors 63 are installed on the outside of the crushing chamber 61, and the two motors 63 are connected to the two crushing rollers 62. The two motors 63 drive the two crushing rollers 62 to rotate and crush the straw.
[0035] Specifically, a rotary anti-clogging comb is installed inside the shredding chamber 61, and an emergency unclogging hatch is provided.
[0036] In this embodiment, the straw briquetting machine 5 includes a briquetting discharge pipe 51 connected to its bottom end. A straw binding net 52 is sleeved on the outside of the briquetting discharge pipe 51, and the briquetting discharge pipe 51 integrates a temperature and humidity sensor.
[0037] In this embodiment, the foldable feeding mechanism 7 includes a guide bin 71 and a conveyor seat 72. The guide bin 71 is installed on the top of the vehicle plate 1 and is connected to the crushing bin 61. The conveyor seat 72 is rotatably connected to the guide bin 71 via a pivot pin. The conveyor seat 72 has a U-shaped structure, and two conveyor rollers are rotatably installed inside the conveyor seat 72. The outer sides of the two conveyor rollers are connected to the same conveyor belt 73. A conveyor motor 74 is installed on the outer side of the conveyor seat 72. The output shaft of the conveyor motor 74 is connected to the conveyor rollers. A fourth hydraulic cylinder 75 is rotatably installed on both sides of the vehicle plate 1 via a pivot pin. The output shaft of the fourth hydraulic cylinder 75 is rotatably installed on the bottom of the conveyor seat 72 via a pivot pin. The fourth hydraulic cylinder 75 pushes the conveyor seat 72 to flip, so that the conveyor seat 71 can be folded up when not in use.
[0038] Specifically, the U-shaped conveyor belt mechanism enables dual-mode switching: when unfolded, the conveyor angle is adjustable from 30 to 55°, and when folded, the volume is reduced by 70%.
[0039] In this embodiment, a negative pressure pump 41 is installed on the straw conveying pipe 4. The negative pressure pump 41 works to convey the crushed straw into the straw briquetting machine 5. The negative pressure conveying pipe integrates a cyclone separator, achieving a conveying efficiency of 3 tons / hour.
[0040] In operation, the operator drives the machine from inside the cab 12, moving it to a suitable position. The rotatable seat 31 can rotate 360°, and the mechanical claw 36 can grab the straw. The second hydraulic cylinder 33 and the third hydraulic cylinder 35 are used to adjust the angle of the mechanical claw 36, allowing the grabbed straw to be placed on top of the conveyor belt 73. The conveyor motor 74 drives the conveyor belt 73 to transport the straw through the guide bin 71 to the crushing bin 61, avoiding manual feeding. The two motors 63 drive the two crushing rollers 62 to rotate and crush the straw. The crushed straw is then conveyed to the straw briquetting machine 5 through the straw conveying pipe 4. The straw briquetting machine 5 crushes the straw into briquettes, and then the crushed straw is discharged through the briquetting discharge pipe 51 and bundled through the straw binding net 52.
[0041] After use, the fourth hydraulic cylinder 75 pushes the transmission seat 72 to flip, so that the transmission seat 71 can be folded away when not in use. Example 2
