[0027] Example
[0028] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model relates to a multi-functional agricultural plant protection operation device with a switchable actuator robotic arm, comprising a tracked chassis 100, a robotic arm 200 located at the front of the tracked chassis 100, and a spraying assembly 300 and a drone 400 located at the rear of the tracked chassis 100. A control console 101 is mounted on the tracked chassis 100, and a transmission track 102 is mounted on the side of the tracked chassis 100. The control console 101 is connected to the drive system of the transmission track 102. The transmission track 102 enhances the device's ability to traverse uneven or soft ground, enabling the device to operate in various complex terrain conditions, thus improving its applicability and flexibility. The robotic arm 200 consists of multiple joints connected by rotating shafts, forming a multi-degree-of-freedom structure. The robotic arm 200 is equipped with hydraulic cylinders 201 for driving each joint. The robotic arm 200 is flexible enough to adjust its posture to adapt to different work tasks. It is equipped with a detachable actuator 202 at its end, which can be replaced with different tools as needed, increasing the equipment's versatility. A landing gear 500 is fixed to the rear of the tracked chassis 100, on which the drone 400 rests. The drone 400 can perform aerial monitoring tasks, while the landing gear 500 facilitates docking and takeoff, expanding the equipment's application range and operating methods. The spraying assembly 300 includes a liquid storage tank 301 embedded in the rear of the tracked chassis 100, a distribution pipe 302 connected to the liquid storage tank 301 via a pump body, and nozzles 303 evenly spaced below the distribution pipe 302. This allows for efficient spraying of pesticides or fertilizers, evenly distributing them on crops and improving work quality and efficiency.
[0029] Specifically, the console 101 integrates a touch screen display, which is connected to the overall control system of the device. This not only simplifies the operation process but also allows the operator to intuitively monitor and control the system's working status. The joints of the robotic arm 200 are equipped with encoders for detecting changes in joint angles. These encoders are connected to the console 101 via connecting cables, ensuring operational accuracy and efficiency.
[0030] Furthermore, a bracket 103 is fixed to the upper middle part of the tracked chassis 100, and a photovoltaic panel 104 is installed on the top of the bracket 103. The photovoltaic panel 104 is connected to the built-in power supply of the tracked chassis 100 through an inverter and connecting lines. The photovoltaic panel 104 converts solar energy into electrical energy, which is then converted into a power form suitable for equipment use by the inverter, reducing the dependence on traditional energy.
[0031] A collection box 600 is fixed to the front of the tracked chassis 100. The collection box 600 is located below the execution end 202 of the robotic arm 200. It works with the execution end 202 to collect waste or other substances generated during the operation. A rotary tillage blade 700 is installed inside the tracked chassis 100, and a soil retaining plate 800 is installed behind the rotary tillage blade 700. These are used for soil tillage and preventing soil splashing, respectively, thereby improving the soil treatment effect.
[0032] The specific operation steps of this embodiment are as follows: When using this multi-functional agricultural plant protection equipment with a switchable actuator arm, the internal rotary tiller 700 is activated, and the soil retaining plate 800 behind it prevents soil splashing. The spraying of pesticides or fertilizers is efficiently completed through the system of the liquid storage tank 301 embedded in the rear of the tracked chassis 100, the pump body connected to the distribution pipe 302, and the evenly distributed nozzles 303. For tasks requiring aerial monitoring, a drone 400 can be deployed and parked on the landing gear 500. Furthermore, the front robotic arm 200 can be equipped with different actuators 202 as needed, for example, for digging, planting, or collecting waste or other materials generated during the operation into the collection box 600 fixed at the front of the tracked chassis 100. The entire operation is supported by solar energy provided by the photovoltaic panel 104, which is converted into electrical energy by an inverter, reducing dependence on traditional energy sources. Through the above steps, this equipment can flexibly and efficiently complete diverse agricultural plant protection tasks under various complex terrain conditions.
