For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, such as welding, riveting, or bonding; it can also be a detachable connection, such as threaded connection, keyed connection, or pin connection; or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] As shown in Figures 1-4, the present invention proposes an orchard ground loosening device, which includes a base plate 1, an installation plate 2 below the base plate 1, a loosening mechanism 3 below the installation plate 2, a lifting mechanism 4 at the top of the base plate 1, the base plate 1 being connected to the installation plate 2 via the lifting mechanism 4, and a moving mechanism 5 at the bottom of the base plate 1.

[0024] In this utility model, the moving mechanism 5 can drive the base plate 1 to move, and at the same time support the base plate 1 when it is not in use. The lifting mechanism 4 can drive the mounting plate 2 and the loosening mechanism 3 to move up or down, so that the loosening mechanism 3 comes into contact with the ground soil and loosens the soil.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, the soil loosening mechanism 3 includes a rotating plate 31, a fixed box 32, a rotating rod 33, a drive assembly 34, two first ear plates 35, a DC motor 36, and a soil loosening roller 37. The rotating plate 31 is located below the mounting plate 2, the fixed box 32 is located on the top of the mounting plate 2, the rotating rod 33 is located on the top of the rotating plate 31 and extends into the interior of the fixed box 32, the top end of the rotating rod 33 is rotatably connected to the inner top wall of the fixed box 32, the drive assembly 34 is located inside the fixed box 32, and the output end of the drive assembly 34 is connected to the rotating rod 33. The two first ear plates 35 are both located at the bottom of the rotating plate 31, the DC motor 36 is located on the front of the front first ear plate 35, and the soil loosening roller 37 is located between the opposite sides of the two first ear plates 35. The output shaft of the DC motor 36 is connected to the soil loosening roller 37 through a coupling.

[0026] It should be noted that the lifting mechanism 4 can drive the mounting plate 2 to move downwards, which in turn drives the loosening mechanism 3 to move downwards, thereby causing the loosening roller 37 to move downwards. When the loosening roller 37 comes into contact with the ground, the DC motor 36 can be started. The output shaft of the DC motor 36 will drive the loosening roller 37 to rotate. The rotation of the loosening roller 37 can loosen the soil on the ground. At the same time, the rotation of the loosening roller 37 and its coordination with the moving mechanism 5 can move the loosening device.

[0027] In addition, when the soil loosening device needs to turn or turn around, the drive assembly 34 can drive the rotating rod 33 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating plate 31 to rotate. The rotating plate 31 drives the two first ear plates 35, the DC motor 36, and the soil loosening roller 37 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the soil loosening roller 37. With the cooperation of the soil loosening roller 37 and the moving mechanism 5, the soil loosening device can turn or turn around more conveniently and quickly.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, the drive assembly 34 includes a servo motor 341, a rotating shaft 342, a worm gear 343, and a worm wheel 344. The servo motor 341 is located on the front of the fixed housing 32. The rotating shaft 342 is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 341 via a coupling. The other end of the rotating shaft 342 extends into the interior of the fixed housing 32 and is rotatably connected to the rear side wall of the inner cavity of the fixed housing 32. The worm gear 343 is located on the outside of the rotating shaft 342, and the worm wheel 344 is located on the outside of the rotating rod 33. The worm gear 343 and the worm wheel 344 mesh with each other.

[0029] It should be noted that when the servo motor 341 is started, the output shaft of the servo motor 341 will drive the rotating shaft 342 to rotate, the rotating shaft 342 will drive the worm 343 to rotate, the worm 343 will drive the meshing worm wheel 344 to rotate, and the worm wheel 344 will drive the rotating rod 33 to rotate. The worm 343 and the worm wheel 344 have self-locking properties, so after the angle of the rotating plate 31 and the loosening roller 37 is adjusted, the stability of the loosening roller 37 is ensured.

[0030] Specifically, when loosening the soil in the orchard, the angle of the loosening roller 37 can be adjusted to make the loosening device more convenient to turn or turn around, eliminating the need for workers to manually push the loosening device to turn or turn around, which greatly saves the workers' physical strength. At the same time, when loosening the soil around the roots of the fruit trees, the angle of the loosening roller 37 can also be adjusted to make the loosening roller 37 loosen the soil around the roots of the fruit trees more effectively.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the lifting mechanism 4 includes two horizontal plates 41, a U-shaped plate 42, a cylinder 43, and two guide rods 44. The two horizontal plates 41 are respectively disposed on the front and back of the mounting plate 2. The U-shaped plate 42 is disposed on the top of the two horizontal plates 41. The cylinder 43 is disposed on the top of the base plate 1 and extends to its bottom. The piston rod of the cylinder 43 is connected to the top of the U-shaped plate 42. The two guide rods 44 are both disposed on the top of the U-shaped plate 42 and extend to the top of the base plate 1. The two guide rods 44 are slidably connected to the base plate 1.

[0032] It should be noted that when the soil needs to be loosened, the cylinder 43 is activated. The piston rod of the cylinder 43 will drive the U-shaped plate 42 to move downward. The U-shaped plate 42 will drive the two horizontal plates 41 to move downward. The two horizontal plates 41 will drive the mounting plate 2 to move downward. The mounting plate 2 will drive the soil loosening mechanism 3 to move downward, thereby causing the soil loosening roller 37 to move downward, so that the soil loosening roller 37 can come into contact with the soil on the orchard ground, thus ensuring that the soil loosening roller 37 can loosen the soil on the orchard ground. During the movement of the U-shaped plate 42, the two guide rods 44 can guide the U-shaped plate 42 to ensure the stability of the movement of the U-shaped plate 42, thereby ensuring the stability of the movement of the two horizontal plates 41, the mounting plate 2, and the soil loosening mechanism 3.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the moving mechanism 5 includes two second ear plates 51, two moving wheels 52, a vertical rod 53, a support wheel 54, and a push handle 55. The two second ear plates 51 are both located at the bottom of the base plate 1. The two moving wheels 52 are rotatably connected to opposite sides of the two second ear plates 51 via shafts. The vertical rod 53 is located at the bottom of the base plate 1, and the support wheel 54 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the vertical rod 53 via a pin.

[0034] It should be noted that when the soil loosening device is not in use, the two moving wheels 52 can provide stable support for the base plate 1. During the rotation of the soil loosening roller 37, the soil loosening device can be moved by pushing the push handle 55, driven by the soil loosening roller 37 and pushed by the staff pushing the push handle 55.

[0035] In addition, the bottom horizontal positions of the moving wheel 52 and the support wheel 54 are corresponding, and the bottom horizontal position of the loosening roller 37 is higher than the bottom horizontal position of the support wheel 54. When the loosening device is not loosening the soil, the loosening roller 37 will not contact the ground. At this time, the base plate 1 can be supported by the moving wheel 52 and the support wheel 54 to ensure the stability of the loosening device and to ensure that the loosening device can move stably.

[0036] When the soil loosening device needs to loosen the soil, the cylinder 43 needs to be activated to make the soil loosening roller 37 move downward until the soil loosening roller 37 comes into contact with the orchard ground. At the same time, when the support wheel 54 disengages from the ground, the soil loosening roller 37 can be used to loosen the orchard ground.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, a controller is provided on the top of the base plate 1. The DC motor 36, the servo motor 341 and the cylinder 43 are all electrically connected to the controller, and the DC motor 36, the servo motor 341 and the cylinder 43 can be controlled by the controller.

[0038] Working principle:

[0039] In use, the orchard ground loosening device first activates cylinder 43, causing loosening roller 37 to move downwards. When loosening roller 37 contacts the ground and support wheel 54 disengages from the ground, DC motor 36 is activated, causing loosening roller 37 to rotate and loosen the ground soil. When the loosening device needs to turn or change direction, servo motor 341 is activated, causing loosening roller 37 to rotate and thus adjusting its angle. Adjusting the angle of loosening roller 37 makes it easier for the device to turn or change direction. Similarly, when loosening the soil around the fruit tree roots, the angle of loosening roller 37 can be adjusted first, allowing it to perform circular motion to loosen the soil around the fruit tree roots.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
