Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of garden tools and equipment, specifically a garden plant handling and fixing device. Background Technology

[0002] The handling and securing of garden plants is a crucial aspect of horticultural construction and landscape design. To improve handling efficiency and reduce plant damage, related technologies are constantly being optimized. A search revealed a handling device for the mobile design of garden plants, published under publication number CN108313105B on May 17, 2019. This design employs a handling box structure with multiple internal slots for accommodating potted plants. Limiting slots and shock-absorbing devices enhance stability during handling, effectively preventing collisions between potted plants and improving safety. However, this structure is primarily suitable for small potted plants; its securing effect is limited for large potted plants or bare-root plants with soil balls. Furthermore, the lack of effective support for the plant body during handling makes it prone to tilting or even breakage, thus limiting its practicality.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a garden plant transportation and fixing device to solve the problems of large plant transportation, fixing and main support mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a garden plant handling and fixing device, comprising: a base 1; a lifting assembly 2, disposed above the base 1, comprising: a cylinder 201, fixed to a connecting plate 203 by bolts, with the output end of the cylinder 201 passing through the connecting plate 203 and fixedly connected to a connecting plate 204 by a flange; the connecting plate 204, connected to a slider 206 by welding, with the slider 206 slidably connected to a slide rail 205; and a rotating assembly 3, disposed on the lifting assembly 2, comprising: a cylinder 301, fixed to a fixing plate 30 by bolts. 2. The output end passes through the fixed plate 302 and is fixedly connected to the slider 305. The gear 304 is meshed with the rack 303. The connecting rod 308 is fixedly connected to the gear 304 at one end and passes through the slide rail 205. The other end is connected to the right angle plate 309 through a flange. The clamping device 4 is fixed to the right angle plate 309 by bolts. It includes: cylinder 401, the output end of which passes through the fixed plate 402 and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 403; connecting rod 404, one end of which is hinged to the connecting plate 403, and the other end of which is hinged to the connecting end of the claw arm 407 and the claw arm 408.

[0033] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly, the rotating assembly, the clamping device, and the base constitute a garden plant handling and fixing device according to this application.

[0034] In this embodiment, the piston rod of cylinder 201 extends and retracts, causing connecting plate 204 and slider 206 to move up and down along slide rail 205, thereby realizing the lifting function of the device.

[0035] It should also be noted that cylinder 201, cylinder 301 and cylinder 401 in this application are controlled by a PLC (programmable logic controller) or a manual valve to control the start, stop and extension stroke of the cylinders.

[0036] It should also be understood that cylinder 201, cylinder 301 and cylinder 401 are common knowledge in this field. They are used without modification, so the control method and circuit connection will not be described in detail.

[0037] In addition, in this embodiment, the operator first places the garden plants to be moved under the clamping assembly 25. By adjusting cylinder 201 to connect compressed air, the piston rod extends and retracts vertically. The output end of the piston rod is fixed to connecting plate 204 via a flange, causing slider 206 to slide up and down along slide rail 205. Limiting blocks 207 on both sides of support plate 202 restrict the stroke of slider 206 to prevent cylinder 201 from overtraveling and being damaged. Further adjusting the piston rod extension and retraction of cylinder 201 pushes slider 205 horizontally along slide rail 206. Slider 205 is welded to rack 303, causing rack 303 to move synchronously. Rack 303 meshes with gear 304, converting linear motion into gear 304 motion. The rotational motion of gear 304, fixed to right-angle plate 309 via connecting rod 308, drives clamping device 4 to rotate around the axis of gear 304 (e.g., 90° rotation); when the operator finally adjusts the piston rod of cylinder 401 to extend, it pushes connecting plate 403 forward, pulling claw arm 407 and claw arm 408 around the hinge point via connecting rod 404, causing clamping plate 405 to close and clamp the plant. When the piston rod of cylinder 401 retracts, connecting plate 403 moves backward, and claw arm 407 and claw arm 408 open under the action of restoring force. Clamping component 400 is responsible for grabbing the plant and placing it on the conveyor belt, while clamping component 5 transfers the plant to the position of clamping component 400. The alternating action improves the handling efficiency.

[0038] Specifically, the lifting assembly 2 includes: a support plate 202, which is welded and fixed to the base 1; a connecting plate 203, which is welded and fixed to the support plate 202; and a slide rail 205, which is bolted to the support plate 202.

[0039] In this embodiment, the support plate 202 provides an installation base for other components, the connecting plate 203 fixes the cylinder 201, and the slide rail 205 cooperates with the slider 206 to ensure smooth lifting and lowering movement.

[0040] Specifically, the limiting block 207 is fixed to the support plate 202 by welding and is set on both sides of the slide rail 205 in order to limit the position of the slider 206.

[0041] As a preferred implementation, the sliding position of slider 206 is restricted to prevent it from disengaging from slide rail 205, thus ensuring the safe operation of lifting assembly 2.

[0042] Specifically, the rotating assembly 3 includes: a fixing plate 302, which is welded and fixed to a connecting plate 204; a rack 303, which is welded and fixed to a slider 305; a slider 305, which is slidably connected to a slide rail 306; and a slide rail 306, which is bolted to the connecting plate 204.

[0043] In this embodiment, cylinder 2 301 pushes slider 2 305 and rack 303 to move along slide rail 2 306. Rack 303 drives gear 304 to rotate. Through connecting rod 1 308, right angle plate 309 is rotated, realizing horizontal angle adjustment of rotating component 3. The rotation angle range is 0-90°.

[0044] Specifically, the rotating assembly 3 also includes: a limiting block 307, which is fixed to the connecting plate 204 by welding and is set on both sides of the slide rail 306 to limit the position of the slider 305; and a protective cover (310), which is fixed to the connecting plate (203) (204) by bolts to protect the components.

[0045] This configuration limits the sliding position of slider 305, ensures the precise rotation angle of gear 304, protects the transmission mechanism, and protects the internal components with the protective cover 310.

[0046] Specifically, the clamping device 4 includes: a second fixing plate 402, which is fixedly connected to the right angle plate 309 by bolts; a clamping plate 405, which is fixed to the second claw arm 408 by bolts; an elastic rubber pad 406, which is pasted on the clamping plate 405 to prevent scratching; and a first claw arm 407, one end of which is hinged to the second fixing plate 402, and the other end of which is hinged to the second claw arm 408.

[0047] Among them, the piston rod of cylinder 3 401 extends and retracts, driving the connecting plate 403 to move. The connecting rod 2 404 causes the claw arm 1 407 and claw arm 2 408 to open and close. The clamping plate 405, together with the elastic rubber pad 406, achieves the clamping and fixing of garden plants.

[0048] Specifically, the clamping device 4 further includes: a connecting rod 404, a claw arm 407 and a claw arm 408, which are symmetrically distributed. The clamping component 1 (400) and the clamping component 2 (5) are respectively set at one end of the right angle plate (309). The clamping component 1 (400) is used to clamp the plant and place it on the conveyor belt, and the clamping component 2 (5) is used to clamp the plant and place it at the position of the clamping component 1 (400).

[0049] In this embodiment, the symmetrical structure ensures a uniform distribution of clamping force, guaranteeing the stability of the clamping of garden plants. Clamping component 1 400 clamps the plant from the conveyor belt, and clamping component 2 5 transfers the plant to the designated position. The two work together to achieve efficient handling of garden plants.

[0050] In actual use, the operator first places the garden plants to be moved under the clamping component 25. Compressed air is then connected to cylinder 201, causing the piston rod to extend and retract vertically. The output end of the piston rod is fixed to connecting plate 204 via a flange, driving slider 206 to slide up and down along slide rail 205. Limiting blocks 207 on both sides of support plate 202 restrict the stroke of slider 206 to prevent cylinder 201 from overtraveling and being damaged. Further adjustment of the piston rod of cylinder 201 extends and retracts, pushing slider 205 horizontally along slide rail 206. Slider 205 is welded to rack 303, causing rack 303 to move synchronously. Rack 303 meshes with gear 304, converting linear motion into gear 304 motion. The rotational motion of the gear 304, fixed to the right-angle plate 309 via the connecting rod 308, drives the clamping device 4 to rotate around the axis of the gear 304 (e.g., a 90° turn). When the operator finally adjusts the piston rod of the cylinder 401, it pushes the connecting plate 403 forward, which pulls the claw arm 407 and claw arm 408 around the hinge point via the connecting rod 404, causing the clamping plate 405 to close and clamp the plant. When the piston rod of the cylinder 401 retracts, the connecting plate 403 moves backward, and the claw arm 407 and claw arm 408 open under the action of the restoring force. The clamping component 400 is responsible for grabbing the plant and placing it on the conveyor belt, while the clamping component 5 moves the plant to the position of the clamping component 400. The alternating action improves the handling efficiency.

[0051] It should be noted that all electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power. The main controller can be a conventional known device that can be controlled by a computer or other means. The detailed description of known functions and known components is omitted in the specific implementation of this disclosure. In order to ensure the compatibility of the device, the operating methods used are consistent with the parameters of commercially available instruments.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
