Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forestry machinery technology, and in particular to a device for peeling cinnamon bark from cinnamon trees. Background Technology
[0002] As is well known, cinnamon is not only an indispensable spice in people's daily lives, but also has important medicinal value. China is the origin of cinnamon trees, and for the vast number of farmers who cultivate cinnamon, it is a major source of economic benefits. Removing the bark from the cinnamon tree presents many difficulties for those involved. For example, cinnamon trees are generally planted on high mountain slopes, making it impossible to transport large-scale bark-removing equipment to the slopes or mountaintops for the work, or to cut down the trees and transport them down the mountain, which wastes time and manpower. Furthermore, electricity is generally inconvenient on high mountain slopes, leaving manual peeling as the only option. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also inefficient, and the quality of the manually peeled cinnamon bark is inconsistent, affecting the economic benefits for farmers.
[0003] Currently available devices or tools for peeling cinnamon trees are generally large or expensive, and are not suitable for irregularly shaped trunks. They also present challenges in terms of power supply for operation in mountainous areas. Using agricultural knives for peeling is costly and inefficient, making them unsuitable for the high-efficiency needs of large-scale growers. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a low-cost, small-sized, lightweight, and easy-to-operate tool for peeling cinnamon trees. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is a cinnamon bark peeling device for cinnamon trees. It can quickly peel the cinnamon bark from cinnamon trees even when the diameter and shape of the trunk are straight or curved. It is also small in size, light in weight, and easy to carry.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cinnamon bark peeling device for cinnamon trees, which is used to continuously advance on the trunk of cinnamon trees so that the cinnamon bark gradually separates from the trunk. It includes a frame 10, a clamping mechanism 20 and a bark pressing mechanism 60 connected to the frame 10. The clamping mechanism 20 includes two pairs of clamping blocks 24 symmetrical about the left and right axes and a reciprocating drive device. The reciprocating drive device is symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the clamping blocks 24. The reciprocating drive device drives the two clamping blocks 24 to move back and forth along the axis of symmetry. The cutting tool mechanism 50 is fixed to the rear end of the pairs of clamping blocks 24.
[0006] Further: The cutting tool mechanism 50 includes a first tool group 51 and a second tool group 52. The first tool group 51 includes an axisymmetric first tool holder 511, a first tool seat 512 and a first tool 513 fixed thereon. The first tool seat 512 is torsionally connected to the first tool holder 511. The second tool group 52 includes an axisymmetric second tool holder 521, a second tool seat 522 and a second tool 525 fixed thereon. The second tool seat 522 is torsionally connected to the second tool holder 521. The rear end of the second tool seat 522 is shaped like a tensioned beam and has an arc.
[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a positioning and guiding mechanism 40, which includes a pair of first clips 411 and second clips 412, and a pair of slide plates 42. The first clips 411, second clips 412 and slide plates 42 are all fixed to the front end of the clamping block 24. The two slide plates 42 are symmetrically provided with transverse slide grooves 422 and oblique slide grooves 421. The two oblique slide grooves 421 are slidably connected by a sliding crank 43. The two transverse slide grooves 422 are slidably connected by a positioning sliding link 44. The slider group 45 is slidably connected to the sliding crank 43 through a positioning block 451. The slider group 45 and the third clip 413 are fixedly connected.
[0008] Further: The reciprocating drive device is a spring transmission device, a hydraulic transmission device, an electric transmission device, or a pneumatic transmission device.
[0009] Further: The spring transmission device includes a housing 21, a spring 27, a slider 23, a connecting rod 25, and a sliding rod 26. One end of the connecting rod 25 and the sliding rod 26 is fixedly connected to the clamping block 24, and the other end of the connecting rod 25 and the sliding rod 26 is slidably connected to the housing 21 through a bearing. The spring 27 and the slider 23 are slidably connected to the sliding rod 26.
[0010] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism 20 also includes a pressure clamp 28. The pressure clamp 28 is connected to the intermediate beam 281 of the frame 10 by a pressure spring or a rope 282. One end of the pressure spring or rope 282 is connected to the adjusting block 285 via a pulley, and the other end is connected to the actuating rod 284 via a linkage rod 283. The pressure spring or rope 282 pulls the linkage rod 28 to rise and fall. The linkage rod 283 rotates and rises and falls, causing the actuating rod 284 to move back and forth, tightening or loosening towards the center.
[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a cutting mechanism comprising a toothed track 71 and a sliding block 72. The sliding block 72 slides along the toothed track 71 under the meshing drive of the power source, and a telescopic blade 720 is mounted on the sliding block 72.
[0012] Further: The pressing mechanism 60 includes a pair of symmetrically arranged elliptical frames 61 and ropes 63. Ropes 63 are fixed at both ends of the elliptical frames 61, and multiple rollers 65 are threaded through the ropes 63.
[0013] Further: The cutting tool mechanism 50 further includes a third tool group 53, which is a third tool group one 54, a third tool group two 80, or a third tool group three 90.
[0014] The third tool assembly 54 includes a thin rope or elastic steel sheet 541, a thick rope 542, and two sets of storage boxes 83 with retractable rope function. The thin rope or elastic steel sheet 541 and the thick rope 542 are threaded through the wire hole and connected at both ends to the storage box 83.
[0015] The third tool group 2 80 is a wedge-shaped deformable tool group with several wedge blocks 813 of different sizes connected in a movable manner. One end of the wedge block 813 is provided with a perforated elastic piece 815, and the rope 3 812 passes through the elastic piece 815 and a set of storage boxes 83.
[0016] The third tool set 3 90 includes a blade 91 with a rope hole for threading a rope. Ropes 92 and 93 are threaded through the rope hole, and the two ends of ropes 92 and 93 are respectively connected to two sets of storage boxes 83.
[0017] The technical advantages of this invention are as follows: The cinnamon bark peeling device for cinnamon trees, when in use, is mounted on the trunk of an cinnamon tree. As the left and right sides move towards the center of the trunk, the bark is peeled off. The clamping mechanism, positioning and guiding mechanism, and cutting tool mechanism of this cinnamon bark peeling device automatically adjust to different diameters of cinnamon tree trunks during operation. Simultaneously, the clamping force of the clamping mechanism is nearly constant, allowing for easy passage when the cinnamon tree trunk is bent. Furthermore, under the action of the positioning and guiding mechanism and the power mechanism, the first, second, and third tool groups can all effectively peel the bark. When encountering uneven curved surfaces on the cinnamon tree trunk, because the shortest distance from the center of the trunk to the left and right sliding plates of the first and second clamps is equal to the distance from the center of the trunk to the rollers on the slider group, and the rollers move elastically up and down, this cinnamon bark peeling device can complete the peeling work normally.
[0018] This utility model of cinnamon bark peeling device is small in size and lightweight. Workers simply place the device on the trunk of the cinnamon tree. It can cut cinnamon bark of varying diameters, including branches that are curved or uneven. This equipment speeds up the harvesting of cinnamon bark and improves work efficiency. It also prevents blunt force injuries caused by manual harvesting and is particularly suitable for workers operating in mountain forests. Attached Figure Description

Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "sleeved / connected," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0032] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the figures.
[0033] like Figures 1-13 As shown, this utility model discloses a cinnamon bark peeling device 1 for cinnamon trees. It is mounted on the trunk of a cinnamon tree, with the left and right sides moving towards the center to simultaneously peel the bark off. It includes a frame 10, on which a clamping mechanism 20 is mounted. The clamping mechanism 20 includes two symmetrical pairs of clamping blocks 24, reciprocating drive devices symmetrically arranged on the outer sides of the two clamping blocks 24, and pressure clamps 28 fixed to the frame 10. The reciprocating drive devices drive the two clamping blocks 24 to move left and right along the vertical axis. Simultaneous left and right movement along the vertical axis is possible. In this embodiment, the reciprocating drive device is a spring transmission device. The frame 10 can also be a two-section mechanism that can fold inwards.
[0034] The spring transmission device comprises: a box 21 symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides, springs 27, sliders 23, connecting rods 25, and sliding rods 26. One end of the connecting rod 25 and the sliding rod 26 is fixedly connected to the clamping block 24, and the other end of the connecting rod 25 passes through the box 21 via a bearing, with the connecting rod 25 and the box 21 slidably connected. Multiple springs 27 and sliders 23 are slidably connected to multiple sliding rods 26, and the sliding rods 26 are slidably connected to the box 21.
[0035] A pressure clamp 28 is also connected to the frame 10. A tension spring or rope 282 is provided on the middle beam 281 of the pressure clamp 28. The middle beam 281 is fixedly connected to the frame 10. One end of the pressure spring or rope 282 is connected to the adjusting block 285 through a pulley. The adjusting block 285 is fixed to the frame 10. The other end is connected to the actuating rod 284 through the connecting rod 283. The tension spring or rope 282 pulls the connecting rod 283 to rise and fall. The rotation and rise of the connecting rod 283 drives the actuating rod 284 to tighten or loosen in the middle and move back and forth. Its function is to provide the power for the reciprocating motion of the slider 23. In turn, the slider 23 pulls the spring 27 to extend and retract. The reciprocating drive device is combined with the pressure clamp 28. The effect is to make the clamping force of the clamping mechanism 20 close to a constant force.
[0036] The frame 10 and the box 21 have corresponding holes 213. A fixing shaft passes through the hole 213, allowing the box 21 to be rotatably connected to the frame 10. The frame 10 also has a screw hole 212. A screw passes through the screw hole 212 and abuts against the frame 10. When the box 21 and the frame 10 need to be horizontally fixed, the screw passes through the screw hole 212 of the frame 10 and abuts against the box 21, locking the box 21 and the frame 10 together. When rotating the box 21 and the frame 10 requires a set tilt angle, the screw on the screw hole 212 on the frame 10 is released, and the box 21 is rotated to the desired position. The screw then passes through the screw hole 212 of the frame 10 and abuts against the box 21, locking the box 21 and the frame 10 together. The angle setting is usually determined based on the diameter of the osmanthus tree trunk. The effect is that when there is an angle of inclination between the box 21 and the frame 10, the bark of a large-diameter tree trunk can be peeled in multiple stages.
[0037] The clamping mechanism 20 is also connected to a power mechanism 30, which is fixedly connected to the opposite sides between the two clamping blocks 24. The power mechanism 30 includes a motor 32, a motor shaft, and a connected gear cutter 33. The gear cutter 33 protrudes from the outer side of the clamping block 24, and the motor 32 provides power to the gear cutter 33. When the tree trunk passes through the power mechanism 30, the power mechanism 30 provides the power for the cinnamon bark peeling device 1 to move on the tree trunk, and can also provide forward driving power for the cinnamon tree trunk and can make tooth marks on the cinnamon bark. The opposite sides between the two clamping blocks 24 are also provided with protruding sliding wheels 22 to reduce friction when the cinnamon bark peeling device 1 passes through the cinnamon tree trunk. The motor 32 is fixed to the lower end or other part of the clamping block 24 to provide rotational power.
[0038] A positioning guide mechanism 40 is connected to the front end of the clamping block 24 of the clamping mechanism 20. The guide mechanism 40 consists of a clamp 41, a slide plate 42, a sliding crank 43, a positioning sliding connecting rod 44, and a slider assembly 45. The first clamp 411, the second clamp 412, and the slide plate 42 are all fixedly connected to the clamping block 24. The slide plate 42 has an inclined slide 421 and a transverse slide 422. The slider assembly 45 has a slider housing 450. The sliding crank 43 passes through the slider housing 450 of the slider assembly 45 and is fixed. The sliding crank 43 is slidably connected to the inclined slide 421 on the slide plate 42. The inclined slide 421 is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle. When the first clamp 411 and the second clamp 412 of the positioning guide mechanism 40 open left and right, the slider assembly 45 moves up and down under the action of the sliding crank 43. The first clip 411 and the second clip 422 move left and right simultaneously, and the first clip 411 and the second clip 412 can also move left and right independently. The effect of the positioning guide structure 40 combined with the clamping mechanism 20 is that it can smoothly pass through when the tree trunk is bent to complete the peeling of cinnamon bark.
[0039] The positioning sliding link 44 is cross-shaped and mainly includes a horizontal bar 444 and a vertical bar 443. The horizontal bar 444 is horizontally connected to the transverse slide rail 422 of the slide plate 42. The slider housing 450 on the slider assembly 45 is provided with a slider 451. The vertical bar 443 of the positioning sliding link 44 has a longitudinal groove 441, and the slider 451 moves up and down in the longitudinal groove 441. The effect of this positioning sliding link 44 is that when the first clamp 411 and the second clamp 412 are opened to the left and right, the sliding crank 43 does not shift, and the slider assembly 45 is kept in the center position of the two sliding plates.
[0040] A vertical rod 453 is inserted inside the slider housing 450. The rod 453 is fitted with a locking clip 451 and a spring 452 that interlock. The bottom of the rod 453 is a connecting seat 455, which is also connected to a rolling wheel 454 via a rotating shaft. A third clamp 413 is fixed to the connecting seat 455. Driven by the rod 453, the third clamp 413 compresses the spring 452, allowing it to move elastically up and down. When the third clamp 413 clamps the tree trunk and moves forward, the rolling wheel 454 rolls on the trunk, reducing friction. The effect is that it allows the tree trunk to pass smoothly when it is uneven or has abrupt knots.
[0041] The inclined slides 421 on the two slide plates 42 of the positioning guide mechanism 40 are slidably connected to the sliding crank 43, and the transverse slides 422 on the two slide plates 42 are slidably connected to the positioning sliding link 44. As the osmanthus tree trunk passes through the osmanthus bark peeling device 1, the first clamp 411, the second clamp 412, and the third clamp 413 open simultaneously. The distance from the bottom of the rolling wheel 454 (i.e., the third clamp 413) to the center of the trunk is exactly the shortest distance from the first clamp 411 and the second clamp 412 to the center of the trunk. The inclined slide 421 is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle. Extending the two sides of the inclined slide 421 can re-form a new isosceles right triangle. The length of the altitude on the hypotenuse of the isosceles right triangle is half the length of the hypotenuse. Therefore, the sliding constraint of the inclined slide 421 and the sliding crank 43 on the movement trajectory of the first clamp 411, the second clamp 412, and the rolling wheel 454 always maintains the straight line shape from the center of the hypotenuse of the isosceles right triangle to the three angles of the isosceles right triangle. The effect is that the osmanthus bark peeling device 1 peels the bark according to its own set path, making the peeled bark more neat. The positioning guide mechanism 40 can also be a known polygonal mechanism. The positioning and guiding mechanism 40 can also be set to other known structures that move outward from the center, such as a gear structure or a linkage structure, etc.
[0042] In this embodiment, the reciprocating drive device in the clamping mechanism 20 adopts a spring transmission device to drive the reciprocating opening and closing motion of the clamping block 24. Of course, according to the existing mechanical structure, the clamping device 20 can be replaced by a hydraulic transmission device, a pneumatic transmission device, or an electric transmission device. For example, a motor drives a gear rack, and the rack drives the clamping block 24. The rotation of the motor can also drive the reciprocating motion of the clamping block 24.
[0043] The clamping mechanism 20 is connected in sequence to the cutting tool mechanism 50 and the blade insertion mechanism 70 at its rear end.
[0044] The cutting tool mechanism 50 includes a first tool group 51, a second tool group 52, and a third tool group 53. The first tool group 51 mainly includes a first tool holder 511, a first tool seat 512, a first tool 513, and a torsion spring. The first tool holder 511 is fixedly connected to the clamping block 24. A connecting rod and a torsion spring are provided between the first tool seat 512 and the first tool holder 511, so that the first tool holder 511 and the first tool seat 512 are torsionally connected. The first tool 513 is fixed to the side of the first tool seat 512 by a fastener.
[0045] The second tool assembly 52 mainly includes a second tool holder 521, a second tool 525, a second tool base 522, and a torsion spring. The rear end of the second tool base 522 is shaped like a tensioned beam (the optimal arc diameter at the front end of the tensioned beam is 30mm, and the optimal arc diameter at the rear end is 130mm). The rear end of the second tool base 522 also has a tapered threading structure with a second threading hole 527. A large threading hole 529 is also provided at the rear end of the second tool base 522. At the very end of the second tool assembly 52, there is a rotating clamping rod 101 and a sensor. The second tool holder 521 is fixedly connected to the clamping block 24. A torsion spring is placed between the second tool base 522 and the second tool holder 521. A connecting rod passes through the torsion spring to torsionally connect the second tool holder 521 and the second tool base 522. The second tool 525 is fixedly connected to the second tool base 522 by a fastener.
[0046] There are three possible structures for the third tool group 53, including the third tool group one 54, the third tool two 80, and the third tool three 90, which will be described below.
[0047] The third tool assembly 54 includes a thin rope or elastic steel sheet 541, a thick rope 542, and two sets of storage boxes 83. Each set of storage boxes 83 is located on the left and right sides, and each storage box 83 has the function of retracting the rope. The storage boxes 83 are fixedly connected to the frame 10. The thin rope or elastic steel sheet 541 passes through the second threading hole 527 of the second tool assembly 52, and both ends of the thin rope or elastic steel sheet 541 are fixed to one set of storage boxes 83. The thick rope 542 passes through the largest threading hole 529 at the end and is then fixed to the other set of storage boxes 83.
[0048] The third tool assembly 2 80 includes a wedge-shaped deformable cutter head 81, a fixed shaft, and a set of storage boxes 83. The wedge-shaped deformable cutter head 81 is composed of a rope 3 812, a wedge block 813, a movable shaft 814, and a perforated elastic plate 815. Several wedge blocks 813 of varying sizes are movably connected via the movable shaft 814. The wedge block 813 is rotatably connected to the side of the tension beam structure of the rear section of the second tool assembly 52 via the fixed shaft. The perforated elastic plate 815 is fixedly connected to the wedge block 813. The bottom of the wedge block 813 is curved. The rope 3 812 passes through the second threading hole 527 of the second tool assembly 52 and the hole in the perforated elastic plate 815, with both ends connected to the set of storage boxes 83. The wedge-shaped deformable cutter head is rotatably connected to the side of the tension beam structure of the second tool assembly 525 via the fixed shaft. The advantage of this design for the third tool assembly 2 80 is that it eliminates the need for the tool threading mechanism 70.
[0049] The third tool assembly 90 includes a perforated cutter head 91, two sets of storage boxes 83, and ropes 92 and 93. Rope 93 passes through a first rope hole 95 on the perforated cutter head 91 and connects to one set of storage boxes 83. Rope 92 passes through and is fixed to a second rope hole 94 on the perforated cutter head 91 and then connects to the other set of storage boxes 83. The perforated cutter head 91 is connected to the inner side of the tension beam structure of the second tool assembly 522, and the bottom of the perforated cutter head 91 is arc-shaped.
[0050] The bark pressing mechanism 60 consists of a semi-elliptical frame 61, a fixed base 62, a fixed sleeve 66, a second rope 63, a sliding rod 64, and several rollers 65. The fixed sleeve 66 is connected and fixed to the clamping block 24, and the fixed base 62 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 64. The semi-elliptical frame 61 and the fixed base 62 are rotatably connected via a shaft, and the sliding rod 64 drives the elliptical frame 61 and the fixed base 62 to slide along the fixed sleeve 66 (the fixed sleeve 66 contains a linear bearing). The second rope 63 passes through several rollers 65 and is fixed to both ends of the elliptical frame 61. When the cinnamon bark peeling device 1 peels the cinnamon bark, the bark pressing mechanism 60 presses the cinnamon bark tightly, loosening the bark from the trunk. This bark pressing mechanism 60 can be fixed at the front end of the cutting mechanism 70.
[0051] The cutting mechanism 70 consists of a geared track 71 and a sliding block 72. The geared track 71 is an existing mechanism, and its structure will not be described in detail. Here, the geared track 71 is a semi-circular track made according to the required motion trajectory. The sliding block 72 rotates on the geared track 71 driven by a motor. A telescopic blade 720 is mounted on the sliding block 72. The telescopic blade 720 mainly consists of a sleeve 727, a sliding rod 721, a spring, a blade head 723, and a fixed seat 726. The sliding rod 721 passes through the sleeve 727. The spring mounted on the sleeve 727 is sleeved on the sliding rod 721. The spring is compressed by a fixing component, making the sliding rod 721 move elastically within the sleeve 727. A limiting seat 733 is provided at the bottom of the sliding rod 721. The limiting seat 733 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 726 via a shaft. The blade head 723 is fixed at the end of the fixed seat. The fixed seat 726 and the limiting seat 733 can rotate at an angle of 15 degrees. The effect is that when the sliding block 72 moves, the cutting head 723 is always between and close to the cinnamon bark and trunk, and the thick rope 542 and thin rope or elastic steel sheet 541 in the third cutter group 54 are easily brought between the cinnamon bark and trunk. The cutting head 723 is provided with a threading hole 731 and a threading groove 732. The thin rope lock 541 in the third cutter group 54 passes through the threading hole 731 on the cutting head 723, and the thick rope 542 passes through the threading groove 732.
[0052] The usage process of this utility model is as follows: After adjusting the usage state, place the cinnamon bark peeling device 1 on the trunk of the cinnamon tree, or carry the cinnamon bark peeling device 1 by hand and move it towards the trunk with the positioning guide mechanism 40 as the entry point. Generally, peeling begins from the thicker end of the trunk. When the cinnamon bark peeling device 1 moves to the thicker end of the trunk and enters the cinnamon bark peeling device 1, the positioning guide mechanism 40 opens manually or under power drive. At this time, the shortest distance from the center of the cinnamon tree trunk to the first clamp 411 and the second clamp 412 on both sides of the positioning guide mechanism 40 is equal to the distance from the center of the cinnamon tree trunk to the bottom vertex of the roller 454 in the slider group 45. The principle has been explained before and will not be explained again here. At this time, the infrared sensor senses the cinnamon tree trunk, and the MCU triggers the motor 32 to rotate. When the cinnamon bark peeling device 1 continues to move forward, the cinnamon tree trunk reaches the... At the rolling gear cutter 33, the device moves forward automatically, or can be manually assisted. At the same time, the clamping mechanism 20 leaves gear cutter 33 tooth marks on the osmanthus tree trunk. Then the osmanthus tree trunk passes through the first cutter group 50. The first cutter 513 in the first cutter group 50 cuts the osmanthus bark along the tooth marks of the gear cutter 33. The principle is that the gear cutter 33 and the first cutter 513 are on the same horizontal plane, and the shape of the first cutter 513 is determined by the torsion spring. The osmanthus bark peeling device 1 continues to move forward. When it reaches the second cutter group 52, the second cutter 525 of the second cutter group 52 enters along the cut made by the first cutter 513. The principle is that the gear cutter 33, the first cutter 513 and the second cutter 525 are on the same horizontal plane. Then the tension beam structure in the second cutter seat 522 enters between the osmanthus bark and the trunk, causing the osmanthus tree trunk and bark to open into a trumpet shape. The cinnamon bark peeling device 1 continues forward. The second threading hole 527 at the rear end of the second cutter group 52, the rope, and the cutter head 723 of the cutting mechanism 70 all enter between the trunk and the cinnamon bark. The device continues forward, and when the sensor detects the cinnamon trunk, the motor on the cutting mechanism 70 starts, causing the thin rope or elastic steel sheet 541 and the thick rope 542 in the third cutter group 54 to enter between the cinnamon bark and the trunk. The cinnamon bark peeling device 1 continues forward, causing the trunk to rotate and the rotating clamping rod 101 to rotate. Simultaneously, the rotation fixes the thin rope or elastic steel sheet 541 and the thick rope 542. The cinnamon bark peeling device 1 continues forward, perfectly peeling the cinnamon bark from the trunk. At this point, only half of the cinnamon bark on the trunk has been peeled off.
[0053] Similarly, a third set of blades 54 and a cutting mechanism 70 are installed at the tail end of the cinnamon bark peeling device 1, which can completely peel the cinnamon bark from the trunk of the cinnamon tree.
[0054] During the operation of the cinnamon bark peeling device 1, when the distance sensing group detects a change in distance, it indicates that the cinnamon tree branch is bent or the trunk is uneven. At this time, the control system in the cinnamon bark peeling device 1 inputs the corresponding working speed. The clamping mechanism 20 can automatically adjust according to different diameters to adapt to cinnamon tree branches of different diameters or with varying diameters. At the same time, under the action of the pressure clamp 28, the clamping mechanism 20 maintains a near-constant clamping force. When encountering a bent cinnamon tree trunk or an uneven cinnamon tree branch, the clamping mechanism 20 can easily pass through, as can be seen from its structural principle, which has been explained previously and will not be repeated here. Furthermore, under the structural principle of the clamping structure 20, gear cutter 33, first cutter 513, and second cutter 525 on a horizontal plane, the first cutter group 51, the second cutter group 52, and the third cutter group 54 can all work normally. When encountering uneven, protruding surfaces on the trunk of the osmanthus tree, the clamping mechanism 20 and the positioning guide mechanism 40, based on their structural principles, ensure that the shortest distances from the center of the osmanthus trunk to the second clamp 412 and the first clamp 411, as well as the distance from the center of the osmanthus trunk to the roller 454 on the slider assembly 45, are equal. The principle has been explained previously and will not be repeated here. The roller 454 can move elastically up and down, thus enabling the osmanthus bark peeling device 1 to function normally.
[0055] The method of using the cinnamon bark peeling device 1 with the third cutter group 2 80 for peeling cinnamon bark. The first part of the method of using the cinnamon bark peeling device 1 will not be described again. When the device moves to the rear end of the second cutter group 52, the tension beam structure at the rear end of the second cutter seat 522 enters between the cinnamon tree trunk and the cinnamon bark. The cinnamon bark peeling device 1 continues to move forward, sequentially bringing the wedge-shaped deformable cutter head 81 in the third cutter group 2 80 between the cinnamon bark and the cinnamon tree trunk. As can be seen from the structural characteristics of the third cutter group 2 80, the wedge-shaped deformable cutter head 81 will be closely attached to the cinnamon tree trunk under the cinnamon bark, thus easily peeling the bark. The advantage of the third cutter group 2 80 is that it does not require the through-cutting mechanism 70, and the third cutter group 2 80 is more effective at peeling the cinnamon tree trunk.
[0056] The method of using the cinnamon bark peeling device 1 with the third cutter group 390 for peeling cinnamon bark. The first part of the method of using the cinnamon bark peeling device 1 will not be described again. When the rear end of the second cutter group 52 is operated, the tension beam structure at the rear end of the second cutter seat 522 enters between the cinnamon bark and the trunk. At the same time, the third cutter group 390 is also brought into the space between the cinnamon bark and the trunk. The rope 92 in the third cutter group 390 is manually or electrically driven to bring the rope 93 and the rope 92 into the space between the cinnamon bark and the trunk, thereby peeling the bark from the cinnamon tree trunk. By using the third cutter group 390, the blade insertion mechanism 70 can be omitted.
[0057] like Figures 14-15As shown, the cinnamon bark peeling device 1 of this utility model also includes an automated control device, which includes a main control chip MCU and three sets of distance sensors, placed between the positioning guide mechanism and the clamping mechanism. It also includes a sensor position unit, a motor speed setting unit, distance sensors, an infrared sensor, a distance difference comparison unit, a distance difference comparison unit, and a unit for determining and outputting the real-time speed of the motor. The motor control operation steps of the main control chip MCU are as follows:
[0058] a. When the trunk of the osmanthus tree is set to a flat plane without any bends, the first initial speed V of the motor is set.
[0059] b. When the trunk of the osmanthus tree is set to a curved surface, the second initial speed of the motor is V1;
[0060] c. Set two ranging sensors in each of the first, second, and third groups, with a distance greater than 5cm between the two sensors;
[0061] d. Compare the distance differences between the two sensors and the cinnamon bark of the tree trunk, using the distance sensors of the first, second, and third groups.
[0062] e. Set the distance difference to L1, L2, and L3;
[0063] f. Find the largest distance difference among the values of L1, L2, and L3 as Ln;
[0064] g. Compare the distance difference Ln with the set threshold and set the motor speed. The steps are as follows:
[0065] When the distance difference Ln < 0.5com, the real-time speed of the motor is determined and output as Vx = V;
[0066] When the distance difference is 0.5com ≤ Ln ≤ 5com, the real-time speed of the motor is determined and output as V. x =((19-2×Ln) / 27)×V1;
[0067] When the distance difference Ln > 5com, the motor stops working.
