Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chili harvesting technology, specifically to a new type of fully automatic chili harvesting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Chili peppers are annual or short-lived perennial herbaceous or shrubby plants. Depending on the variety, chili peppers are mainly consumed for their fruit. They are rich in vitamin C and are usually used as a condiment. They are one of China's important export agricultural products. They not only have rich nutritional value, but are also important industrial and pharmaceutical raw materials, and have good economic benefits.
[0003] Existing chili-picking machines harvest chilies using a picking mechanism. However, the picking mechanism and the moving trolley are fixedly connected, making it difficult to adjust the tilt angle of the picking mechanism. When harvesting chili plants of different heights, it is difficult to adjust the picking mechanism in real time, resulting in low chili-picking efficiency and low automation of the machine. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of fully automatic chili picking machine to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the pitch angle of the picking mechanism is difficult to adjust, and it is difficult to adjust the picking mechanism in real time when picking chili plants of different heights, resulting in low chili picking efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a novel fully automatic chili pepper picking machine, comprising a base, a hopper fixedly mounted on the base, a picking mechanism mounted on one side of the hopper on the base, the picking mechanism including a picking platform, a slot formed in the side wall of the hopper, the top of the picking platform hinged to the slot in the side wall of the hopper, a first hydraulic cylinder hinged to the side wall of the base, the output end of the first hydraulic cylinder hinged to the side wall of the picking platform, a first conveyor belt mounted on the surface of the picking platform, a drive assembly for driving the first conveyor belt to rotate mounted on the base, a screening mechanism mounted on one side of the picking platform on the base, the screening mechanism including a roller, a support frame fixedly mounted on the base for supporting the roller, a power input shaft connected to an external power source mounted on the base, multiple fans mounted on the base below the roller, the power input shaft being drively connected to the shafts of the multiple fans, a concave sieve mounted at the bottom of the roller, and a top cover hinged to the top of the roller.
[0006] By adopting the above scheme, starting the first oil cylinder drives the picking platform to flip up or down through the output end of the first oil cylinder, thereby adjusting the picking tilt angle of the chili peppers, which facilitates the picking of chili pepper plants at different heights and effectively ensures the efficiency of chili pepper picking.
[0007] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the surface of the first conveyor belt is provided with multiple mounting brackets, and each of the mounting brackets is provided with spring teeth at its upper end.

[0009] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the drive component includes a motor, which is fixedly mounted on the base, and the output end of the motor is provided with a first transmission belt connected to the first conveyor belt.
[0010] By adopting the above scheme, the motor is started, causing it to drive the first conveyor belt to rotate via the first transmission belt.
[0011] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a speed reducer is fixedly installed on the base, and the power input shaft is connected to the speed reducer for transmission.
[0012] By adopting the above solution, the power input shaft is reduced in speed using a speed reducer, thus avoiding excessively high speeds of the power input shaft that could cause equipment incompatibility.
[0013] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a support shaft is fixedly provided at the end of the roller, and a second transmission belt connected to the support shaft is provided on the power input shaft.

The bottom end of the second conveyor belt corresponds to the side end of the roller. A second hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the side wall of the base, and the output end of the second hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the side wall of the fixed frame.
[0016] By adopting the above scheme, the chili peppers are transported by the second conveyor belt and loaded onto the vehicle. The second hydraulic cylinder is activated, and the output end of the second hydraulic cylinder drives the fixed frame to flip up or down, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the chili peppers for loading, which can easily meet the loading needs of chili peppers of different heights.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] 1. This new type of fully automatic chili picking machine is equipped with a picking mechanism. The chilies are transported by the first conveyor belt. The first oil cylinder is activated, and the output end of the first oil cylinder drives the picking platform to flip up or down, thereby adjusting the picking tilt angle of the chilies. This makes it convenient to pick chili plants of different heights, effectively ensuring the chili picking efficiency and improving the automation level of the machine.
[0019] 2. This new type of fully automatic chili picking machine is equipped with a screening mechanism. The support shaft drives the drum to rotate, which tumbles the chilies and filters the chili branches and leaves through the concave sieve. At the same time, the power input shaft drives multiple fans to rotate, which blows the chili branches and leaves to improve the screening effect, reduce the chili branches and leaves mixed in with the chilies, and eliminate the need for later removal of branches and leaves, saving manpower and resources.
