Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rose pruning technology, and in particular to a pruning robot for edible roses. Background Technology

[0002] Edible roses refer to rose varieties whose flowers are safe to eat. They typically have a unique fragrance and flavor. These roses can be used to extract essential oils for making food, tea, and pastries. Edible roses are rich in various nutrients, such as vitamin C and anthocyanins, and have certain health benefits. When pruning edible roses, it is necessary to use edible rose pruning tools to promote healthy plant growth, maintain a good shape, and improve the yield and quality of flowers. This allows for precise cutting of rose branches, making the pruning work convenient and quick.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN119344107A discloses an automated pruning machine for edible roses, including a main frame. A first connecting plate is fixedly connected to the top rear side of the main frame. A hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the top of the first connecting plate. The bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder passes through and extends to the bottom of the first connecting plate. A gear is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder. A rack is meshed with the left side of the gear. A second cylinder is provided in front of the rack. A fixed sleeve is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder. A connecting ring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixed sleeve. By adjusting the position of the saw blade and the saw disc in the height, horizontal, and front-back directions, the machine adapts to the pruning needs of rose branches in different positions and shapes. Furthermore, by using tracks to drive the machine, it better adapts to the terrain, achieving automated pruning of edible roses, replacing traditional manual pruning methods, improving pruning efficiency, and reducing labor intensity.

[0004] The existing technology has the following problems:

[0005] This pruning machine uses a motor to drive two cutting blades to revolve around each other to prune roses, but the distance between the two cutting blades remains constant. This can lead to over-pruning when dealing with larger plants. Utility Model Content

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an edible rose pruning robot includes a self-propelled vehicle 1, a mechanism platform 2 is movably mounted on the upper side of the self-propelled vehicle 1, a robotic arm 3 is movably mounted on the upper side of the mechanism platform 2 near the right side, a pruning mechanism 4 is movably mounted on the end side of the robotic arm 3 near the left side, and a receiving mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the lower side of the mechanism platform 2 near the left side.

[0027] The trimming mechanism 4 includes a central rod 41. The upper middle part of the central rod 41 is movably mounted on the upper side of the robotic arm 3 near the left side. A motor 42 is fixedly connected to the inner middle part of the central rod 41. A screw 43 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 42. Two moving rods 44 distributed front and back are movably sleeved on the outer side of the central rod 41. A screw tube 45 is fixedly connected to the inner side of each of the two moving rods 44 that is far apart from each other. The outer side of the screw tube 45 is movably sleeved on the inner side of the central rod 41. The inner side of the screw tube 45 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the screw 43.

[0028] It should be noted that the self-propelled trolley 1 is equipped with components such as a camera and radar to scan and observe the size of the rose plant to be pruned. The motor 42 can drive the screw 43 to rotate. When the screw 43 rotates, it drives the screw tube 45 to move left and right. The screw tube 45 drives the moving rod 44 to move, thereby controlling the distance between the two pruning components 48.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, several ring-shaped retaining strips 46 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of both screw tubes 45, and the outer sides of the retaining strips 46 are slidably connected to the limiting grooves opened on the inner side of the central rod 41.

[0030] It should be noted that the retaining strip 46 is used to stabilize the outer side of the screw tube 45 to prevent the screw tube 45 from twisting itself when the screw 43 rotates.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, a luminance sensor is provided on the outer side of the central rod 41.

[0032] It should be noted that the brightness sensor is used to detect the distance the moving rod 44 moves, so as to facilitate the detection of the spacing of the trimming assembly 48, and so that the motor 42 stops driving the screw 43 to rotate when the required distance is reached.

[0033] like Figure 3As shown, vertical rods 47 are rotatably connected to the lower sides of the two moving rods 44 at positions away from each other. Trimming components 48 are movably installed on the side of the two vertical rods 47 near the motor 42. Horizontal rods 49 are fixedly connected to the bottom side of the two vertical rods 47 away from the trimming components 48. Rotating rods 410 are rotatably connected to the ends of the two horizontal rods 49 away from the motor 42. The outer side of the rotating rods 410 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the moving rods 44 away from the motor 42. Electric push rods 411 are rotatably connected to the upper ends of the two rotating rods 410. The lower ends of the electric push rods 411 are rotatably connected to the upper side of the moving rods 44 near the motor 42.

[0034] It should be noted that the electric push rod 411 can control its own length, causing the electric push rod 411 to drive the rotating rod 410 to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating rod 410 to drive the vertical rod 47 to rotate, thereby adjusting the included angle of the two trimming components 48.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the receiving mechanism 5 includes a storage box 51. The upper side of the storage box 51 is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the lower side of the mechanism platform 2 near the left side. The front and rear sides of the inner side of the mechanism platform 2 near the left side are fixedly connected to receiving pockets 52. The lower side of the storage box 51 near the receiving pockets 52 is rotatably connected to a sealing plate 53.

[0036] It should be noted that the storage box 51 is used to receive the pruned leaves and branches, and the receiving pocket 52 is used to guide these branches. At the same time, the two receiving pockets 52 cover the outside of the main stem of the rose plant.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, a support rod 54 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner upper surface of the mechanism platform 2 near the storage box 51, and a rotating component 55 is movably installed on the left side of the inner upper surface of the mechanism platform 2 near the storage box 51. A guide rod 56 is movably installed on the side of the rotating component 55 near the receiving pocket 52. The inner side of the receiving pocket 52 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the support rod 54 and the outer side of the guide rod 56.

[0038] It should be noted that the receiving pocket 52 is made of flexible material. The rotating component 55 can drive the guide rod 56 to rotate, so that after the guide rod 56 rotates inward, the left sides of the two receiving pockets 52 can separate from each other. When the main stem of the plant moves to the inner middle position of the mechanism platform 2, the guide rod 56 resets, so that the outer side of the receiving pocket 52 is in close contact with the main stem of the plant.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, the lower inner surface of the storage box 51 slopes downward toward the side away from the receiving pocket 52.

[0040] It should be noted that the shape of the storage box 51 allows the pruned leaves and branches to slide away from the receiving pocket 52 on their own after entering the storage box 51, thus preventing the branches from piling up on the side close to the receiving pocket 52 and causing them to exert greater pressure on the receiving pocket 52.

[0041] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the self-propelled trolley 1 is equipped with a camera, radar, and other components to scan and observe the size of the rose plant to be pruned. The motor 42 drives the screw 43 to rotate, which in turn drives the screw tube 45 to move left and right. The screw tube 45 drives the moving rod 44 to move, thereby controlling the distance between the two pruning components 48. The electric push rod 411 can control its own length, causing it to drive the rotating rod 410 to rotate, which in turn drives the vertical rod 47 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle between the two pruning components 48. The motor 42 drives the screw 43 to rotate, thereby adjusting the distance between the two pruning components 48 to accommodate plants of different sizes. The electric push rod 411 pulls the pruning components 48 to rotate, allowing the pruning components 48 to prune the top of the rose plant. It is easy to adjust, convenient to control, and highly applicable. Finally, the storage box 51 is used to receive the pruned leaves and branches, and the receiving bag 52 is used to guide these branches. At the same time, the two receiving bags 52 hold the roses. The outer side of the main stem of the rose plant is covered, and the receiving pocket 52 is made of flexible material. The rotating component 55 can drive the guide rod 56 to rotate, so that after the guide rod 56 rotates inward, the left sides of the two receiving pockets 52 can separate from each other. When the main stem of the plant moves to the inner middle position of the mechanism platform 2, the guide rod 56 returns to its original position, so that the outer side of the receiving pocket 52 is in close contact with the main stem of the plant. The shape of the storage box 51 allows the pruned leaves and branches to slide away from the receiving pocket 52 on their own after entering the storage box 51. The mechanism guides the pruned leaves and branches to the inside of the collection box 51, preventing them from piling up near the receiving bag 52 and putting excessive pressure on it. The receiving bag 52 guides the pruned leaves and branches into the inside of the collection box 51. The rotating component 55 drives the guide rod 56 to rotate, allowing the receiving bag 52 to surround the main stem of the plant. This allows the receiving mechanism 5 to collect the leaves and branches automatically, making the operation convenient and eliminating the need for manual picking or manually covering the outside of the plant with the receiving bag 52.

[0042] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
