Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of branch and leaf separation, and more specifically, it relates to a branch and leaf separator. Background Technology
[0002] After felling trees and other vegetation, the trunks are used, leaving behind a large number of branches with leaves attached. The presence of leaves hinders the recycling of the branches, necessitating the use of a branch and leaf separator to remove the leaves and facilitate reuse. Existing separators use rotating rods or blocks to continuously tap the leaves off the branches, separating them. However, after separation, the leaves scatter, making collection difficult and impacting the separator's usability. Furthermore, before using the branches, they often need to be cut to the required length for trimming, further production, or transportation, thus facilitating branch utilization and production.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a branch and leaf separator, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. This utility model, through the setting of a separation structure, allows the branch with leaves to pass between two first guide wheels and extend into the separation box when separating branches and leaves. The first motor drives the rotating column to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating wheel to rotate. The extension rod and fixing block set on the rotating wheel knock the leaves on the branch. Since the connection between the branch and the leaves is harder than the leaves, it is easy to knock the leaves off the branch by the fixing block, thus completing the separation of the branch and leaves. The separated leaves fall from the discharge port on the separation box onto the inclined platform, and the inclined platform slides down, which facilitates the collection of the separated leaves and the use of the entire separator.
[0018] 2. This utility model, by setting a cutting structure, after the branches and leaves are separated, pushes the branches to continue moving, so that the separated branches pass through the through hole, and the part of the branches that has not been separated from the leaves enters the separation box. According to the scale line set on the crossbar and the required length of the branch after cutting, the distance of the branch extending out of the through hole is determined. After the determination is completed, the electric push rod set on the mounting frame extends, which drives the mounting block and the cutting saw to descend. The second motor drives the cutting saw to rotate and cut the branch, so as to facilitate vertical cutting to the required length as needed, and facilitate the acquisition of branches.
[0019] 3. This utility model, by setting a first guide wheel and a second guide wheel, restricts the movement direction of the branch, thereby preventing deviation in direction during the movement of the branch and facilitating the cutting and acquisition of the branch. Attached Figure Description

A third motor 25 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 28. A first gear 26 and a second gear 27 are provided inside the second support frame 3. Multiple first gears 26 are provided. The second guide wheels 4 are connected to the first gears 26. The output end of the third motor 25 is connected to the second gears 27. The first gears 26 and the second gears 27 mesh with each other.
[0030] The separation structure includes a separation box 5, rotating wheels 6 and inclined platform 7. Multiple rotating wheels 6 are provided. A support ring 8 is fixedly provided on one side of the support frame where the second guide wheel 4 is provided. A cutting structure is fixedly provided on the side end of the separation box 5. The cutting structure includes a mounting frame 9, an electric push rod 10 and a cutting saw 11. The mounting frame 9 is fixedly provided on the side end of the separation box 5.
[0031] In this embodiment, the main structure of the separator is formed by the base plate 28, the separation structure and the cutting structure. The branches are guided by the cooperation of the first support and the first guide wheel 2, and the cooperation of the second support frame 3 and the second guide wheel 4, so that the branches can move inside the separator.
[0032] More specifically, the separation of branches and leaves is achieved through a separation structure, and the branches are cut to the required length through a cutting structure.
[0033] Please see Figures 1-5 As one implementation method for separating branches and leaves: the first guide wheel 2 is rotatably connected to the first support frame 1; the separation box 5 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 28; the inclined platform 7 is located between the base plate 28 and the separation box 5; the rotating wheel 6 is located inside the separation box 5; the separation box 5 has a discharge port 12 and a through hole 13; a fixing frame 14 is fixedly mounted on one side of the separation box 5; the fixing frame 14 and the separation box 5 have rotating holes 15; and rotating columns 1 are fixedly mounted at both ends of the rotating wheel 6. 6. The rotating column 16 and the rotating hole 15 are mutually engaged, and the rotating hole 15 and the rotating column 16 are rotatably connected. An extension rod 17 is fixedly installed on the rotating wheel 6, and a fixing block 18 is fixedly installed on the extension rod 17. Multiple extension rods 17 and fixing blocks 18 are provided. The rotating hole 15 is opened around the through hole 13. Multiple rotating holes 15 are provided. A first motor 21 is fixedly installed on the separation box 5. Multiple first motors 21 are provided. The output end of the first motor 21 is fixedly connected to the rotating column 16.
[0034] Specifically, when separating branches and leaves, the branch with leaves is passed between the two first guide wheels 2 and inserted into the separation box 5. The first motor 21 drives the rotating column 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating wheel 6 to rotate. The extension rod 17 and the fixing block 18 on the rotating wheel 6 knock the leaves on the branch. Since the connection between the branch and the leaves is harder than the leaves, it is easy to knock the leaves off the branch by the fixing block 18, thus completing the separation of the branch and leaves. The separated leaves fall from the discharge port 12 on the separation box 5 onto the inclined platform 7, and the inclined platform 7 slides down, making it easy to collect the separated leaves.
[0035] Please see Figures 1-5As one method of cutting tree branches: an electric push rod 10 is fixedly mounted on a mounting frame 9, a mounting block 19 is fixedly mounted on the moving end of the electric push rod 10, a cutting saw 11 is mounted on the mounting block 19, a second motor 20 is fixedly mounted on the mounting block 19, the output end of the second motor 20 is fixedly connected to the cutting saw 11, a support rod 22 is fixedly mounted on the bottom plate 28 on the side where the second guide wheel 4 is mounted, a crossbar 23 is fixedly mounted between the support rod 22 and the separation box 5, and a scale line 24 is provided on the crossbar 23, with multiple scale lines 24.
[0036] Specifically, after the branches and leaves are separated, the branches are pushed to continue moving, so that the separated branches pass through the through hole 13. The part of the branches that has not been separated from the leaves enters the separation box 5. According to the scale line 24 set on the crossbar 23 and the required length of the branch after cutting, the distance of the branch extending out of the through hole 13 is determined. After the determination is completed, the electric push rod 10 set on the mounting frame 9 extends. The extension of the push rod drives the mounting block 19 and the cutting saw 11 to descend. The second motor 20 drives the cutting saw 11 to rotate and cut the branches.
[0037] In summary, when using it as a whole:
[0038] When separating branches and leaves, the branch with leaves is passed between the two first guide wheels 2 and inserted into the separation box 5. The first motor 21 drives the rotating column 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating wheel 6 to rotate. The extension rod 17 and the fixing block 18 on the rotating wheel 6 knock the leaves on the branch. Since the connection between the branch and the leaves is harder than the leaves, it is easy to knock the leaves off the branch by the fixing block 18, thus completing the separation of the branch and leaves. The separated leaves fall from the discharge port 12 on the separation box 5 onto the inclined platform 7, and the inclined platform 7 slides down, making it easy to collect the separated leaves.
[0039] After the branches and leaves are separated, the branches are pushed to continue moving, so that the separated branches pass through the through hole 13. The part of the branches that has not been separated from the leaves enters the separation box 5. According to the scale line 24 set on the crossbar 23 and the required length of the branch after cutting, the distance of the branch extending out of the through hole 13 is determined. After the determination is completed, the electric push rod 10 set on the mounting frame 9 extends. The extension of the push rod drives the mounting block 19 and the cutting saw 11 to descend. The second motor 20 drives the cutting saw 11 to rotate and cut the branches.
