Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant harvesting technology, and in particular to a self-propelled forage silage harvesting and compaction integrated machine. Background Technology
[0002] In modern animal husbandry, high-quality silage plays a vital role in ensuring the healthy growth of livestock and improving breeding efficiency. The silage process involves multiple steps, including harvesting, chopping, collecting, and compacting. Each step is closely linked, and the efficiency and quality of any step will affect the final quality of the silage.
[0003] Traditional forage silage operations typically involve using multiple independent pieces of equipment to complete each stage. For example, a regular harvester is used to harvest the forage, which is then transported to the silage site manually or by other means of transport. Specialized compaction machinery is then used for compaction. This decentralized operation mode has many drawbacks. First, the frequent switching and connection of equipment makes the operation process cumbersome and complicated, consuming a lot of manpower and time costs, and seriously affecting the efficiency of the operation. Utility Model Content

[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0021] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a self-propelled forage silage harvesting and compacting integrated machine includes a carrier 1 and a connecting bucket 2. The connecting bucket 2 is bolted to the front support frame of the carrier 1. The front end and top end of the connecting bucket 2 are open. A harvesting component 7 is provided at the front opening of the connecting bucket 2. A pressing component 6 is provided on the rear side of the inner cavity of the connecting bucket 2. A second airtight door 5 is provided through the rear side of the bottom end of the connecting bucket 2. A discharge port 4 is horizontally slidably opened and closed on the rear side of the bottom end of the connecting bucket 2. A first airtight door 3 is rotatably opened and closed on the upper end of the connecting bucket 2.
[0022] In actual use, the device drives the connecting bucket 2 forward by driving the vehicle 1 forward, and the harvesting component 7 set inside the connecting bucket 2 harvests the forage. The harvested forage is thrown into the connecting bucket 2 by the inertia generated by the harvesting component 7, and is compacted and shaped by the extrusion component 6.
[0023] In addition, after the forage is harvested, some forage will remain in the connecting hopper 2. At this time, the connecting hopper 2 can be cleaned by opening the airtight door 3 at the top or the discharge port 4 at the bottom. The airtight door 3 and the discharge port 4 mentioned above are locked in the closed state by the lock in the prior art, which will not be described in detail in this solution.
[0024] Specifically, the harvesting assembly 7 includes a motor 71 and a harvesting cylinder 72. The harvesting cylinder 72 is fixedly installed at the front opening of the connecting bucket 2. An inlet 721 is opened through the lower side of the outer surface of the harvesting cylinder 72 near the front. An outlet 722 is opened through the upper side of the outer surface of the harvesting cylinder 72 near the rear. On the outer surface of the harvesting cylinder 72, multiple protector tips 75 are fixedly installed at equal intervals below the inlet 721.
[0025] The motor 71 is fixedly installed on the front side of one end of the connecting bucket 2 in the width direction. The two ends of the harvesting cylinder 72 that are close to each other are connected and rotated through the shaft 73. Multiple rotating blades 74 are fixedly installed in a ring array on the outer surface of the shaft 73. The output shaft of the motor 71 is fixedly connected to the shaft 73 through a coupling.
[0026] When the carrier 1 drives the connecting bucket 2 forward, the hay enters the harvesting cylinder 72 through the inlet 721 opened on the lower side of the outer surface of the harvesting cylinder 72. The motor 71 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 71 drives multiple rotating blades 74 to rotate through the rotating shaft 73. In this way, the multiple high-speed rotating blades 74 cut the hay that extends into the inner cavity of the harvesting cylinder 72. The cut hay is discharged outward through the outlet 722 by the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotating blades 74. The hay discharged into the rear of the inner cavity of the connecting bucket 2 is compacted and shaped by the extrusion assembly 6.
[0027] Specifically, the extrusion assembly 6 includes a connecting seat 61 and two forming sleeves 65. The connecting seat 61 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the connecting hopper 2, and the front side of the connecting seat 61 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the outer surface of the harvesting cylinder 72. The middle of the rear end of the connecting seat 61 is open.
[0028] An electric cylinder 62 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the connecting seat 61. A Z-shaped extrusion plate 63 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the electric cylinder 62. Two forming sleeves 65 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the back end of the connecting bucket 2 away from the middle. Two extrusion cylinders 66 that are adapted to the two forming sleeves 65 are fixedly installed at the rear end of the Z-shaped extrusion plate 63 along its vertical direction.
[0029] The feed plate 64 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the inner cavity of the connecting hopper 2 near the middle. The feed plate 64 is located on the upper part of the connecting seat 61. The feed plate 64 is an arched slope with a high middle and low sides. The top and bottom of the uppermost side of the Z-shaped extrusion plate 63 slide horizontally between the feed plate 64 and the two ends of the connecting seat 61 that are close to each other.
[0030] After the hay entering the inner cavity of the connecting hopper 2 through outlet 722 falls onto the Z-shaped extrusion plate 63, the electric cylinder 62 is activated to drive the Z-shaped extrusion plate 63 to reciprocate back and forth. The hay that falls to the top horizontal position of the Z-shaped extrusion plate 63 is pushed by the feed plate 64 to the bottom horizontal position of the Z-shaped extrusion plate 63 as the Z-shaped extrusion plate 63 moves forward. As more and more hay is on the bottom horizontal position of the Z-shaped extrusion plate 63, the hay is compacted into blocks by the reciprocating motion of the Z-shaped extrusion plate 63. The reciprocating motion of the Z-shaped extrusion plate 63 drives the two extrusion cylinders 66 to push the blocks of hay into the two forming sleeves 65 for extrusion and molding, and then discharges them outward.
[0031] It should be noted that the specific installation method, circuit connection method, and control method of the electric cylinder 62 and motor 71 used in this utility model are all conventional designs, and will not be described in detail in this utility model.
[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
