Description
A non-stop hay baler Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically a non-stop hay baler. Background Technology
[0002] Forage is the foundation of livestock production, providing essential nutrients and crude fiber that cannot be replaced by grains or other feeds. High-quality forage can meet the nutritional needs of livestock; if the quality is insufficient, increasing concentrate feed will not improve yield. High-quality alfalfa hay can increase daily milk production. For fattening livestock, improving hay quality can significantly increase weight gain. Forage is an inexpensive feed source, more economical than grain crops. One acre of Styrax styrax can produce a large amount of hay, providing a significant amount of pure protein, 2-3 times that of other crops.
[0003] Currently, stop-operation hay balers are generally used for baling and storage. The baled hay is then transported away in a centralized manner. However, since the stop-operation hay baling requires stopping the tractor to operate for each bale, it wastes a lot of time, lacks continuity of operation, and affects efficiency. Therefore, the labor cost is high and the work efficiency is low.
[0004] Based on this, a non-stop hay baler is now provided, which can eliminate the drawbacks of existing devices. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-5, a non-stop hay baler includes a hay-collecting component 12, a baling bin 43, and a traction component. The hay-collecting component 12 and the baling bin 43 are both mounted on a main frame 49. An axle 65 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the main frame 49, and wheels are symmetrically mounted on the axle 65. The main frame 49 is connected to the traction component, which includes a traction arm 3, a main mounting frame 4, and a traction head 5. One side of the main mounting frame 4 is fixedly connected to the traction head 5, and the other end of the main mounting frame 4 is connected to one end of the traction arm 3. The traction arm 3 is fixedly connected to the main frame 49 at the other end. The main frame 49 has a baling space corresponding to the baling bin 43 to facilitate baling of hay. An intermediate gearbox 8 is fixedly installed inside the main mounting frame 4. A transmission mechanism for driving the reducer 11 and hydraulic station 2 to rotate is provided on one side of the intermediate gearbox 8. The cooperation of the baling bin 43, belt 42 and rear swing arm 45 facilitates baling and feeding of hay. The output end of the reducer 11 drives the hay picking component 12, belt 42 and main roller to rotate.
[0025] The traction head 5 includes a front traction head 51. A rear traction head 53 is hinged to one side of the front traction head 51 via a rotating shaft 52. The rear traction head 53 is mounted on one side of the main mounting frame 4. A traction beam 54 is hinged to the other side of the front traction head 51. Traction rings 55 are fixed at both ends of the traction beam 54. The traction rings 55 are hinged to external traction components. In use, the traction rings 55 are hinged to the external traction components, so that when working, the front traction head 51 and the rear traction head 53 are hinged together. The rear traction head 53 is connected to the main frame 49 via the main mounting frame 4 and the traction arm 3. Subsequently, the wheel supports the main frame 49 and all its components move, and the hinged connection between the front traction head 51 and the rear traction head 53 enables turning.
[0026] The rear traction head 53 is symmetrically fixed with limiting plates 56 on both sides, which helps to prevent the rear traction head 53 from bending excessively during use.
[0027] The transmission mechanism includes a first splined shaft 57, which is mounted on the central axis of one side of the front traction head 51. One end of the first splined shaft 57 is connected to one end of the front universal drive shaft 6, and the other end of the front universal drive shaft 6 is connected to the output end of the external traction component. The other end of the first splined shaft 57 is connected to one end of the bridge drive shaft 7, and the other end of the bridge drive shaft 7 is connected to the input end of the intermediate gearbox 8. The intermediate gearbox 8 is fixedly mounted on one side of the main mounting frame 4. One output end of the intermediate gearbox 8 is connected to one end of the first rear universal drive shaft 9, and the other end of the first rear universal drive shaft 9 is connected to the input end of the reducer 11. The reducer 11 is fixedly mounted on the main frame 49, and the output end of the reducer 11 is connected to the main roller 67 and the grass-collecting component 12 via a first chain and a second chain, respectively. The main roller 67 is rotatably mounted on the main frame 49. The main roller 67 and the belt drive pulley group 64 are connected by a third chain. During operation, the output end of the external traction unit drives the first spline shaft 57 to rotate through the front universal drive shaft 6. The first spline shaft 57 drives the intermediate gearbox 8 to rotate through the bridge drive shaft 7. One output end of the intermediate gearbox 8 drives the reducer 11 to rotate through the first rear universal drive shaft 9. The output end of the reducer 11 drives the grass-picking component 12 to rotate through the second chain. The grass-picking component 12 transports the ground grass to the baling bin 43 for bundling. The output end of the reducer 11 drives the main roller 67 to rotate through the first chain. The main roller 67 drives the belt drive pulley group to rotate through the third chain, thereby causing the main roller to carry the grass into the space between the baling bin 43 and the belt 42, thus baling the grass.
[0028] The bundling space includes a belt storage arm 41, which is hinged to the main frame 49. One end of the belt storage arm 41 is tightly attached to a belt 42. A rear swing arm 45, a support arm 46, and a belt drive pulley set 64 are tightly attached to the belt 42. Both the rear swing arm 45 and the support arm 46 are hinged to the main frame 49. The belt drive pulley set 64 is located at the upper end of the main frame 49 and is connected to the output end of the main roller 67 via a third chain. A feeding arm 48 is located below the rear swing arm 45 and is hinged to the rear swing arm 45. A limiting component 66 is hinged to the main frame 49. The upper side of the main frame 49... The device includes a rear swing arm 45, with a netting component 47 on one side. The baling chamber 43 has hinged forming arms 68 on both sides, eccentrically arranged with the baling chamber's rotating shaft. A tensioning arm 44 is mounted on the baling chamber 43, coaxial with the baling chamber 43. A toggle component 69 is mounted on the tensioning arm 44, engaging with a pin on the baling chamber 43. The forming arms 68 rotate around the main shaft as the baling chamber rotates, engaging with a limiting component 66 at a designated position, simultaneously pressing against the belt 42 to replace the position of the front roller of the unloading arm. A hydraulic assembly for controlling the unloading of hay bales is located at the front end of the main frame 49.
[0029] The hydraulic assembly includes a hydraulic station 2, which is fixedly mounted on the front end of the main frame 49. A second rear universal joint drive shaft 10 is installed at the power input end of the hydraulic station 2. The other end of the second rear universal joint drive shaft 10 is connected to the other output end of the intermediate gearbox 8. The hydraulic station 2 is connected to the input ends of several hydraulic cylinders, all of which are mounted on the main frame 49. The limiting component 66, the belt storage arm 41, the tensioning arm 44, and the rear swing arm 45 are hinged to the output ends of the hydraulic cylinders. In use, the belt 42 is wound around the rollers of each component, and the belt drive pulley set 64 drives the belt 42 to rotate. The baling bin 43 rotates forward under the drive of the tensioning arm 44. As the bale gradually increases in size during the process, the belt storage arm 41 adjusts to ensure the circumference of the belt 42 during baling. When the bale reaches the preset size, the netting component 47 releases the netting. After the bales are packed, the rollers on the baling chamber 43, under the rotation of the baling chamber 43, squeeze the belt 42 and the formed bales to move backward onto the unloading arm 48. At the same time, the rollers at the end of the forming arm 68 stop and sink under the control of the limiting component 66. At this time, the belt 42 continues to travel a new baling area above the main roller 67. At this time, without affecting the belt that has finished wrapping the bales, it continues to move backward under the push of the rollers on the baling chamber 43, and frees up new baling space. At the same time, new bales are baled. Then the rear swing arm 45 moves backward and flips upward, so that the completed bales are rolled off and unloaded. During this process, the support arm 46 supports and guides the belt 42. After the unloading is completed, the rear swing arm 45 is retracted and returned to its position. The forming arm 68 and the limiting component 66 are separated and reset under the control of the hydraulic cylinder, so as to start a new round of the previous baling process, realizing the baling process without stopping the machine.
[0030] The intermediate gearbox 8 includes a second splined shaft 81, a transition shaft 82, and a single output shaft 83, which are respectively mounted on the housing. The power input end of the second splined shaft 81 is connected to the bridge drive shaft 7. The second splined shaft 81, the transition shaft 82, and the single output shaft 83 are sequentially driven by gear meshing. In use, the second splined shaft 81 transmits power to the hydraulic station 2 on one hand, and transmits power to the reducer 11 through the transition shaft 82 and the single output shaft 83 on the other hand, thereby realizing bidirectional power input to the baler and the hydraulic station 2.
[0031] The above embodiment discloses a non-stop hay baler, wherein the traction ring 55 is hingedly connected to an external traction component, which can be a tractor, etc., so that during operation, the front traction head 51 and the rear traction head 53 are hingedly connected. The rear traction head 53 is connected to the main frame 49 through the main mounting frame 4 and the traction arm 3. Subsequently, the main frame 49 uses wheels to drive the baling bin 43 to move. During operation, the output end of the external traction unit drives the first spline shaft 57 to rotate through the front universal drive shaft 6. The first spline shaft 57 is connected to the bridge. The drive shaft 7 drives the intermediate gearbox 8 to rotate. One output end of the intermediate gearbox 8 drives the reducer 11 to rotate via the first rear universal drive shaft 9. The output end of the reducer 11 drives the hay-collecting component 12 to rotate via the second chain. The hay-collecting component 12 transports the hay from the ground to the baling bin 43 for bundling. The output end of the reducer 11 drives the main roller 67 to rotate via the first chain, and drives the belt drive pulley set 64 to rotate via the third chain. Thus, the belt drive pulley set 64 drives the belt 42 to rotate. At the same time, the belt 42 is wound around the rollers of each component, baling the hay. Driven by the tensioning arm 44, the baler 43 rotates forward. As the bales gradually increase in size, the storage arm 41 adjusts to ensure the circumference of the belt 42 for baling. Once the bales reach the preset size, the netting component 47 places the netting to pack the bales. Then, the rollers on the baler 43, under the rotation of the baler 43, squeeze the belt 42 and the formed bales, moving them to the unloading arm 48. Simultaneously, the rollers at the end of the forming arm 68 stop and sink under the control of the limiting component 66. At this time, the belt 42 continues to travel a new distance above the main roller 67. In the baling area, the belt that has already been baleed continues to move backward under the push of the rollers on the baling chamber 43, without affecting the bale. This creates new space for bale formation, and new bales are formed. Then, the rear swing arm 45 moves backward and flips upward, allowing the bales to roll off and be unloaded. During this process, the support arm 46 supports and guides the belt 42. After unloading, the rear swing arm 45 retracts and returns to its original position. The forming arm 68 and the limiting component 66 are separated and reset under the control of the hydraulic cylinder, thus starting a new round of the previous baling process, achieving a baling process without stopping the machine.
[0032] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
