[0002] Chinese medicinal plants include plant tissues such as roots, stems, leaves, and fruits that contain medicinal components. Among them, root medicinal plants need to be dug out of the ground after they have finished growing, so digging equipment is needed to dig out mature Chinese medicinal plants.
[0003] However, most existing medicinal herb digging devices use digging claws to excavate the medicinal herbs along with the planting soil. However, they cannot effectively separate the medicinal herbs from the planting soil afterward. This requires the digging claws to crush the soil clods, which can damage the medicinal herbs during the digging process and greatly increase the damage rate of medicinal herb digging.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a medicinal herb excavation device with a protective structure to solve the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.
[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the medicinal herb digging device with a protective structure provided in this embodiment includes:
[0026] The excavating swing-and-dispersing protective tooth 1 is installed on the excavating turning tooth 2. The excavating swing-and-dispersing protective tooth 1 is used to disperse the soil clods containing Chinese medicinal materials excavated by the excavating turning tooth 2. The excavating swing-and-dispersing protective tooth 1 facilitates the rapid and repeated dispersing of the soil clods containing Chinese medicinal materials excavated by the excavating turning tooth 2, so that the Chinese medicinal materials can be quickly and as far as possible separated from the planting soil, which makes it easier for the Chinese medicinal materials to be picked up manually later. The excavating turning tooth 2 facilitates the digging out of the planting soil containing Chinese medicinal materials from the planting field. During the digging process, a large amount of planting soil will be carried along, which can protect the excavated Chinese medicinal materials.
[0027] The two drive structures 3 are snapped and fixedly installed at both ends of the excavation turning tooth 2. The two drive structures 3 are used to provide driving force for the swinging and striking of the excavation swinging and striking protective tooth 1. The two drive structures 3 facilitate the repeated swinging and striking of the excavation swinging and striking protective tooth 1.
[0028] Fixed connecting block 4 is set on the back of the digging and turning tooth 2. Fixed connecting block 4 is used to install the digging and turning tooth 2 on the mechanical arm of the excavator.
[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the digging and turning teeth 2 includes a fixed support rod 21, several rotating support blocks 5 evenly spaced at the front end of the fixed support rod 21, a rotating groove 6 transversely opened on the side of the rotating support blocks 5, and fixed teeth 7 set on the rotating support blocks 5.

The rotating support blocks 5 and the rotating groove 6 cooperate with each other to facilitate the digging and turning teeth 2 to rotate and support the rotating rod 8. The fixed teeth 7 facilitate the digging and turning teeth 2 to dig out the planting soil of Chinese medicinal herbs from the planting field.
[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the excavating swing-and-dispersion protective tooth 1 includes a supporting rotating rod 8 and several swing teeth 20 evenly and equidistantly arranged on the supporting rotating rod 8. The swing teeth 20 are arranged between two rotating support blocks 5. The supporting rotating rod 8 is rotatably arranged in the rotating groove 6.

At the same time, the supporting rotating rod 8 facilitates the fixed support of the several swing teeth 20. The several swing teeth 20 facilitate the excavating swing-and-dispersion protective tooth 1 to work with the excavating soil-turning tooth 2 to dig out the planting soil of Chinese medicinal herbs from the planting field, and then work with the drive structure 3 to quickly disperse the excavated soil clods.
[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drive structure 3 includes a mounting base 9, a drive motor 10 mounted on the mounting base 9, a connecting seat 11 mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 10, a transmission assembly 12 mounted between the connecting seat 11 and the support rod 8, and a protective shell 16 mounted on the fixed support rod 21. The mounting base 9 facilitates the support and fixation of the drive motor 10, the drive motor 10 facilitates the provision of torsional force to the rotation of the connecting seat 11, the connecting seat 11 facilitates the transmission of the torsional force generated by the drive motor 10 to the transmission assembly 12, the transmission assembly 12 facilitates the transmission of the received torsional force to the support rod 8, and the protective shell 16 facilitates the protection of the drive structure 3.
[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the transmission assembly 12 includes a transmission block 13 bolted to the connecting seat 11, a transmission gear 14 bolted to the support rotating rod 8, and a transmission tooth groove 15 formed on the transmission block 13 and meshing with the transmission gear 14. The transmission block 13, the transmission gear 14 and the transmission tooth groove 15 cooperate with each other to facilitate the transmission assembly 12 to quickly transmit the torsional force received from the drive structure 3 to the support rotating rod 8, so that the support rotating rod 8 can quickly break up the excavated soil clods with a number of swing teeth 20.
[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the mounting base 9 has a T-shaped slot 19, and both ends of the fixed support rod 21 are provided with T-shaped clips 17 that are compatible with the T-shaped slot 19. The mounting base 9 is installed on the fixed support rod 21 by bolts. The T-shaped slot 19 and the T-shaped clips 17 cooperate with each other to facilitate the mounting base 9 to be installed on the fixed support rod 21.
[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, both ends of the fixed support rod 21 are provided with a shell cover seat 18. The protective shell 16 is fixedly installed on the shell cover seat 18 by bolts. The shell cover seat 18 facilitates the installation of the protective shell 16 on the fixed support rod 21 by bolts.
[0035] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the principle of the medicinal herb digging device with protective structure provided in this embodiment is as follows: When using the device, it should first be installed on the excavator's mechanical arm through the fixed connecting block 4. Then, the excavator can adjust the device to an angle perpendicular to the medicinal herb planting field through the mechanical arm. Subsequently, under the pressure of the excavator's mechanical arm, several fixed teeth 7 and several swing teeth 20 in the device are vertically inserted into the medicinal herb planting field. Then, the mechanical arm is used to dig up the soil mixed with medicinal herbs that has been inserted into the medicinal herb planting field by several fixed teeth 7 and several swing teeth 20. At this time, several fixed teeth 7 and several swing teeth 20 should hold the soil mixed with medicinal herbs at an angle parallel to the medicinal herb planting field.
[0036] At this point, the operator can control the excavator to provide power to the two moving structures 3 in the device. The two drive motors 10 then begin to reciprocate at an appropriate speed. The torque of this reciprocating motion is then transmitted to the support rod 8 through the transmission components 12 at both ends. Subsequently, the support rod 8, along with its own set of swing teeth 20, will reciprocate at an appropriate speed. At this time, the swing teeth 20, which reciprocate at an appropriate speed, will lift the soil mixed with Chinese medicinal herbs and break it up by the fixed teeth 7. The broken-up planting soil and Chinese medicinal herbs will then fall through the large gaps between the two teeth of the fixed teeth 7. This completes the rapid and efficient separation of the Chinese medicinal herbs and the planting soil, making it easier for the workers to pick them up later.
[0037] After the oscillating teeth 20 break up the soil mixed with Chinese medicinal herbs, the operator can then control the excavator to stop supplying power to the two moving structures 3 in the device. While disconnecting the power supply to the two moving structures 3, it should be ensured that the oscillating teeth 20 and the fixed teeth 7 are at the same angle. Then, under the pressure of the excavator's mechanical arm, the fixed teeth 7 and the oscillating teeth 20 in the device are made perpendicular to the planting field. This is then ready to be used to dig into the Chinese medicinal herb planting field for the next excavation task.
