Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wolfberry pruning machinery technology, and in particular relates to a shaping and pruning machine for fully enclosing wolfberries. Background Technology

[0002] Research on pruning machinery for hedgerow-style dwarf dense planting orchards in China started relatively late. Currently, pruning in this type of orchard in China is still mainly done manually, with a low level of mechanization. Manual pruning is simple in structure and easy to operate. It is mainly divided into non-powered pruning and powered pruning. Non-powered pruning generally prunes branches smaller than 20mm and relies entirely on manual power, which is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and can easily cause joint damage during prolonged operation. However, it is still widely used due to its low price and simple operation. Powered pruning (electric shears, pneumatic shears, and hydraulic shears) generally requires external power. Pruning blades are generally limited by the power source, and the blades are generally heavy, making them unsuitable for prolonged operation.

[0003] Although my country's research on pruning machinery started relatively late, it has progressed smoothly and developed rapidly. However, pruning machinery for regional crops such as goji berries is still lacking. Currently, almost all pruning in goji berry cultivation is done manually, which is labor-intensive, inefficient, and costly. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a full-coverage goji berry shaping and pruning machine to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a shaping and pruning machine for fully enclosing wolfberries to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0007] Furthermore, the vertical height adjustment mechanism includes a fixed sleeve and a sliding rod. The fixed sleeve is hinged to the support frame, and a third hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the side of the fixed sleeve away from the support frame. The output end of the third hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the sliding rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the horizontal angle adjustment mechanism includes a fourth hydraulic cylinder, the output end of which is hinged to a fixed sleeve, and the non-output end of which is hinged to a support frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the first trimming mechanism and the second trimming mechanism have the same structure and are arranged facing each other. The first trimming mechanism includes: a mounting rod, a vertical rod hinged to the bottom end of the mounting rod, a fifth hydraulic cylinder hinged to one side bottom of the mounting rod, the output end of the fifth hydraulic cylinder hinged to the vertical rod to form a vertical angle adjustment mechanism, and a vertical cutter, a horizontal cutter and a diagonal cutter detachably mounted on the vertical rod, the vertical cutter, the horizontal cutter and the diagonal cutter having the same structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the vertical cutter includes: a housing, a guide rail connected to one side of the housing, a fixed blade fixed at the bottom of the guide rail groove, a sliding blade slidably disposed at the top of the fixed blade, a hydraulic motor mounted on the top of the housing, and an eccentric shaft rotatably connected to the output shaft of the hydraulic motor inside the housing, the eccentric shaft being hinged to the sliding blade via a connecting rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the tractor is equipped with a first hydraulic control valve and a second hydraulic control valve at its rear end. The first hydraulic control valve is used to adjust the hydraulic pressure of the oil cylinder, and the second hydraulic control valve is used to adjust the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic motor.

[0012] The present invention provides a full-coverage goji berry shaping and pruning machine, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
