Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of safflower harvesting technology, specifically relating to a safflower harvesting machine with a roller brush for cleaning safflowers. Background Technology
[0002] Safflower is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Safflower in the family Asteraceae, reaching up to 150 cm in height. The stem is erect, branching in the upper part, smooth, and hairless. The leaves are stiff, leathery, glossy, sessile at the base, and semi-amplexicaul. The flower heads are capitula; bracts are elliptical or ovate-lanceolate; the involucre is ovate, hairless and without glandular dots; the florets are red or orange-red, all bisexual; the achenes are obovate. It flowers and fruits from May to August and is native to Central Asia.
[0003] Existing safflower harvesting machines use conveyor belts and harvesting rollers to pick and collect safflowers. However, when the harvesting rollers work with the conveyor belt, they do not have a cleaning function for the harvesting rollers. This causes some safflowers to get stuck on the harvesting rollers, affecting the quality of subsequent harvesting and preventing the safflowers from being completely picked. As a result, the remaining safflowers need to be harvested again. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a safflower harvester with a roller brush for cleaning safflowers, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that existing safflower harvesters use a conveyor belt and a harvesting roller brush to harvest and collect safflowers. However, when the harvesting roller brush is used in conjunction with the conveyor belt, it does not have a cleaning function for the harvesting roller brush, which causes some safflowers to get stuck on the harvesting roller brush, affecting the subsequent harvesting quality and preventing the safflowers from being completely harvested. This necessitates a secondary harvesting operation for the remaining safflowers.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a safflower picking machine with a roller brush for cleaning safflowers, comprising two movable chassis, two support columns fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the movable chassis, a picking frame slidably mounted on several of the support columns, a picking mechanism, a cleaning mechanism, and a collecting mechanism provided on the picking frame, the picking mechanism comprising several support rods fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the picking frame, a rotating shaft rotatably mounted between two support rods on the same side, a picking roller fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, a driving mechanism provided on the picking frame, the cleaning mechanism comprising a cleaning bucket fixedly mounted between two support rods on the same side, a cleaning bucket having several cleaning holes for the picking roller, the collecting mechanism comprising a collecting box fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the picking frame, a suction fan fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the collecting box, the air inlet pipe of the suction fan being connected to the collecting box, a recycling pipe connected to both sides of the collecting box, a recycling cover connected to the end of the recycling pipe away from the collecting box, and a mounting hole for the recycling cover being provided on the cleaning bucket.
[0006] The above scheme utilizes a mobile chassis to enable the entire device to move, facilitating automated safflower harvesting. Support columns and harvesting frames allow for height adjustment, facilitating harvesting of safflowers at different heights. A drive mechanism rotates two shafts relative to each other, which in turn rotates two harvesting rollers to harvest the safflowers. A cleaning hopper and several cleaning holes remove safflower stuck inside the harvesting rollers as they rotate, preventing residue from affecting subsequent harvesting and avoiding the need for secondary harvesting, thus improving overall harvesting efficiency. A suction fan and collection box draw safflower from the cleaning hopper into the collection box for storage via two recovery pipes and a recovery hood when the suction fan is activated.
[0007] In the above scheme, it should be noted that the mobile chassis, motor and suction fan are all electrically connected to an external power source.
[0008] In one preferred embodiment, the picking rack is threaded with bolts, and the support column has several through holes for bolts.
[0009] By using the above solution, bolts are installed to lock and unlock the picking rack, making it easy to adjust the height of the picking rack.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the drive mechanism includes a motor fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the inner wall of the picking rack, one end of each of the two rotating shafts extending to the outside of a corresponding support rod and fixedly mounted with gears, the two gears meshing with each other, and one end of one of the rotating shafts fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor.
[0011] Using the above scheme, a motor is set up. When the motor starts, it drives one of the rotating shafts to rotate. When the rotating shaft rotates, it drives the other rotating shaft to rotate synchronously under the transmission of gears. When the two rotating shafts rotate relative to each other, they drive the picking roller to rotate to pick safflower.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the front side of the collection box has a material hole, and a material door is installed in the material hole by means of a lock. The material door is provided with a metering observation window.
[0013] By adopting the above scheme, the material gate is set up to realize the subsequent material feeding function of the collection box. With the addition of a metering observation window, it is easy to observe the material inside the collection box and to feed it in time when the safflower is full.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a mounting frame is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the inner wall of the collection box, and a plurality of filter screens are fixedly installed on the mounting frame. The filter screens are used in conjunction with the air inlet pipe of the suction fan.
[0015] By adopting the above solution, the air inlet pipe of the suction fan is filtered by setting up a mounting bracket and multiple filters, thus preventing safflower material from being sucked into the suction fan.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, two guide plates are fixedly installed on the front side of the picking rack, and the two guide plates are arranged at an angle relative to each other.
[0017] By adopting the above scheme and setting two guide plates, the safflower harvesting period is gathered together, allowing the safflower plants to smoothly enter between the two harvesting rollers, facilitating harvesting operations and improving the quality and effect of safflower harvesting.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] This safflower harvester with a roller brush for cleaning safflowers uses a cleaning hopper and several cleaning holes to clean safflowers stuck inside the harvesting roller as it rotates. This prevents safflower residue from affecting subsequent harvesting results, avoids the need for secondary harvesting, and improves overall harvesting efficiency.
[0020] This safflower harvesting machine with a roller brush for cleaning safflowers is equipped with a suction fan and a collection box. When the suction fan is started, the safflowers inside the cleaning hopper are sucked into the collection box for storage through two collection pipes and a collection cover. The mounting frame and multiple filters filter the air inlet pipe of the suction fan, preventing safflower material from being sucked into the suction fan. The whole machine realizes the automatic collection function of safflower material after harvesting, which facilitates the subsequent recycling and reuse of safflower material.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a safflower picking machine with a roller brush for cleaning safflowers, including two movable chassis 1. Two support columns 2 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the movable chassis 1. The same picking frame 3 is slidably installed on several support columns 2. Bolts 12 are threaded on the picking frame 3. Several through holes for the bolts 12 are opened on the support columns 2. By setting the bolts 12, the picking frame 3 can be locked and unlocked, which facilitates the height adjustment of the picking frame 3. The picking frame 3 is equipped with a picking mechanism, a cleaning mechanism and a collecting mechanism.
[0027] The harvesting mechanism includes several support rods 4 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the harvesting frame 3. A rotating shaft 5 is rotatably installed between two support rods 4 on the same side. A harvesting roller 6 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 5. A drive mechanism is provided on the harvesting frame 3. The drive mechanism includes a motor 13 fixedly installed on the lower surface of the inner wall of the harvesting frame 3. One end of each of the two rotating shafts 5 extends to the outside of the corresponding support rod 4 and a gear 14 is fixedly installed thereon. The two gears 14 are meshed together. One end of one of the rotating shafts 5 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 13. When the motor 13 is set up, it drives one of the rotating shafts 5 to rotate. When the rotating shaft 5 rotates, it drives the other rotating shaft 5 to rotate synchronously under the transmission action of the gear 14. When the two rotating shafts 5 rotate relative to each other, they drive the harvesting roller 6 to rotate to harvest safflower.
[0028] The cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning bucket 7, which is fixedly installed between two support rods 4 on the same side. The cleaning bucket 7 has several cleaning holes for the picking rollers 6 to use. The collection mechanism includes a collection box 8 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the picking frame 3. A suction fan 9 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the collection box 8. The air inlet pipe of the suction fan 9 is connected to the collection box 8. Both sides of the collection box 8 are connected to a recycling pipe 10. The end of the recycling pipe 10 away from the collection box 8 is connected to a recycling cover 11. The cleaning bucket 7 has mounting holes for the recycling cover 11 to use.
[0029] The front side of the collection box 8 has a material hole, and a material door 15 is installed inside the material hole by a lock. The material door 15 is equipped with a metering observation window. An installation frame 16 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the inner wall of the collection box 8. Several filters 17 are fixedly installed on the installation frame 16. The filters 17 are used in conjunction with the air inlet pipe of the suction fan 9. By setting the material door 15, the subsequent material discharge function of the collection box 8 can be realized. With the metering observation window, it is convenient to observe the material inside the collection box 8 and to discharge the material in time when the safflower is full. By setting the installation frame 16 and multiple filters 17, the filtration effect at the air inlet pipe of the suction fan 9 is realized, preventing the safflower material from being sucked into the suction fan 9.
[0030] Two guide plates 18 are fixedly installed on the front side of the picking frame 3. The two guide plates 18 are arranged at an angle relative to each other. By setting the two guide plates 18, the safflower picking period is gathered together, so that the safflower plants can smoothly enter between the two picking rollers 6, which facilitates the picking operation and improves the quality and effect of safflower picking.
[0031] Working principle: In use, first adjust the height of the picking frame 3 according to the required picking height of safflower. During adjustment, turn bolt 12 to unlock the picking frame 3. After unlocking, move the picking frame 3 to the appropriate height and lock it with bolt 12. Then, start the moving chassis 1, motor 13, and suction fan 9 for picking operations. When the moving chassis 1 starts, it drives the device to move. When the motor 13 starts, it drives one of the rotating shafts 5 to rotate. When the rotating shaft 5 rotates, it drives the other rotating shaft 5 to rotate synchronously under the transmission of gear 14. When the two rotating shafts 5 rotate relative to each other, they drive the other rotating shaft 5 to rotate synchronously. The picking roller 6 rotates to pick safflower. When the picking roller 6 rotates, it cleans and removes the safflower material on the picking roller 6 through several cleaning holes. When the suction fan 9 starts, it sucks the safflower inside the cleaning hopper 7 into the collection box 8 for storage through two recovery pipes 10 and recovery cover 11. The material inside the collection box 8 is observed through the metering observation window. After the collection box 8 is full, the moving chassis 1, motor 13 and suction fan 9 are turned off. Finally, the material gate 15 is opened to discharge the material. After the material is discharged, the above steps are repeated to continue the picking operation.
