Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, and more specifically, to a yam directional growth traction device. Background Technology

[0002] As a vine plant, yam has unique growth habits and requirements during cultivation. Yam vines grow to a considerable height and naturally need to rely on supports to grow upwards; otherwise, they are prone to falling over, affecting their photosynthesis and growth. The growth of yam vines requires good ventilation and lighting conditions to promote their healthy growth and increase yield.

[0003] In traditional planting, bamboo poles or manual traction are often used to tie the vines to the bamboo poles multiple times. This requires manual traction, which can easily cause the vines to become tangled and intertwined. In addition, it is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and inefficient.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a traction device for the directional growth of yam. Utility Model Content

[0014] In some embodiments, the self-locking clip includes a diameter sensing spring that automatically releases when the diameter of the vine is detected to be greater than 5 mm.

[0015] In some embodiments, the self-locking clip is arc-shaped and has a circular receiving cavity inside, with a diameter sensing spring disposed within the receiving cavity.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0027] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] The following reference Figures 1 to 3 This application describes a yam directional growth traction device provided according to some embodiments.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a yam directional growth traction device provided according to some embodiments of this application includes a support frame 1, guide wheels 4, traction ropes 5, a power mechanism 6, and a self-locking clamp 7. Three guide wheels 4 are respectively disposed on the top of the support frame 1; the traction rope 5 passes through each guide wheel 4 in sequence to form a Z-shaped path; the power mechanism 6 is disposed on one side of the support frame 1 and is used to adjust the traction speed of the yam vines; the self-locking clamp 7 is disposed on the side of the support frame 1 away from the power mechanism 6 and is used to clamp the yam vines.

[0030] In this embodiment, the support frame 1 serves as the basic support structure, and guide wheels 4 are respectively located on the top of the support frame 1. The traction rope 5 passes through each guide wheel 4 in sequence, following a Z-shaped path. When the yam vine grows to a certain length, it is clamped in the self-locking clamp 7. Through the power mechanism 6, the traction rope 5 drives the yam vine to grow along the Z-shaped path, achieving directional traction. Furthermore, the power mechanism 6 can precisely adjust the traction speed of the yam vine according to the actual situation to adapt to the growth needs of different growth stages of the yam vine. This achieves automatic directional traction of the yam vine, reduces manual intervention, lowers labor intensity, improves planting efficiency, and meets the needs of large-scale planting.

[0031] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, it also includes: two support legs 2, which are respectively disposed on the bottom sides of the support frame 1, each support leg 2 including a telescopic leg that can reciprocate relative to the support frame 1; and two support bases 3, which are disposed at the bottom of each support leg 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, two support legs 2 are respectively set on both sides of the bottom of the support frame 1, which play a role in supporting and stabilizing the support frame 1. Each support leg 2 includes a telescopic leg that can reciprocate relative to the support frame 1. The length of the support leg 2 can be adjusted according to actual needs. In planting areas with uneven terrain, the planting flexibility can be improved by adjusting the length of the telescopic leg, and the support frame 1 can be kept horizontal, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the device and providing a good foundation for the directional growth of yam vines. Each support leg 2 is provided with a support base 3 at its bottom, which further increases the contact area with the ground, improves the stability of the device, prevents the device from sinking into the soft soil due to excessive weight, and also enhances the device's resistance to tipping when subjected to strong winds or other external forces.

[0033] In some possible embodiments, the support frame 1 and the support base 3 are made of corrosion-resistant galvanized steel, and the support base 3 includes a dent-proof plate.

[0034] In this embodiment, galvanized steel is a specially treated steel material, with a layer of zinc plated on the surface of ordinary steel. It has good chemical stability. In natural environments, especially in complex environments such as humid conditions and soil, the zinc layer can prevent corrosive substances such as oxygen and moisture from directly contacting the steel, thereby slowing down the corrosion rate of the steel. The support frame 1 and the support base 3 need to be exposed to the outdoor planting environment for a long time and withstand the influence of various climatic conditions and soil environments. Using galvanized steel as the material can ensure that the support frame 1 and the support base 3 will not be corroded during long-term use, maintaining the integrity and stability of the structure. In addition, the bottom of the support base 3 is equipped with an anti-sinking plate, which increases the contact area between the support base 3 and the ground, thereby dispersing the pressure of the device on the ground and effectively preventing the device from sinking into the soil due to excessive local pressure.

[0035] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, there are three guide wheels 4 in total. Each guide wheel 4 includes a support base, which fixes the guide wheel 4 on the support frame 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, each guide wheel 4 is equipped with a support seat, which serves to fix the guide wheel 4 on the support frame 1 and ensure that the guide wheel 4 will not be displaced during operation. The Z-shaped path formed by the three guide wheels 4 allows the traction rope 5 to better guide the growth direction of the yam vine during movement. Compared with a straight path, the Z-shaped path increases the contact points between the traction rope 5 and the vine, making the traction force distribution more uniform and helping the yam vine to grow healthily in the predetermined direction.

[0037] In some possible embodiments, the guide wheel 4 has anti-slip texture on its wheel surface, the traction rope 5 has spiral anti-slip texture on its surface, the traction rope 5 is spliced ​​from multiple rope segments with quick-release joints, and the traction rope 5 includes a nylon core layer and a polyurethane coating layer.

[0038] In this embodiment, the anti-slip texture on the surface of the guide wheel 4 and the spiral anti-slip texture on the surface of the traction rope 5 work together to increase the friction between them. During the traction process, even if there is interference from external factors, the traction rope 5 can be effectively prevented from slipping on the guide wheel 4, ensuring that the traction rope 5 can move stably along the predetermined path, providing continuous and stable traction for the yam vines, and ensuring that the vines can grow in the correct direction. The traction rope 5 is made up of multiple sub-ropes spliced ​​together by quick-release joints. During the installation process, the appropriate length of sub-ropes can be flexibly selected for splicing according to the size and shape of the planting area, and can be replaced in time when a section is damaged. The traction rope 5 includes a nylon core layer and a polyurethane coating layer, which gives the traction rope 5 good flexibility and tensile strength, making it less prone to breakage and wear, thus improving the service life and traction stability of the traction rope 5.

[0039] In some possible embodiments, a tension sensor is connected to the end of the traction rope 5 near the self-locking clamp 7 to provide real-time feedback on the tension of the traction rope 5 to the control module.

[0040] In this embodiment, the weight, growth rate, and direction of the yam vine change during its growth, which in turn changes the tension on the guide rope 5. The tension of the guide rope 5 is fed back to the control module in real time by the tension sensor. The device can accurately adjust the magnitude of the traction force according to the actual growth of the vine, ensuring that the guide rope 5 always provides a suitable traction force for the vine, avoiding damage to the vine due to excessive traction force, or failure to effectively guide the vine growth due to insufficient traction force.

[0041] In some possible embodiments, the self-locking clip 7 includes a diameter sensing spring that automatically releases when the diameter of the vine is detected to be greater than 5 mm. The self-locking clip 7 is arc-shaped and has a circular receiving cavity inside, in which the diameter sensing spring is disposed.

[0042] In this embodiment, the diameter of the yam vine gradually increases during its growth. When the vine diameter reaches a certain size, its structure is relatively stable and does not require excessive traction to guide its growth. The self-locking clamp 7 automatically monitors the vine diameter through the diameter sensing spring and releases the traction rope 5, avoiding the application of excessive traction to the vine in the later stages of growth. This prevents the vine from bending or breaking due to excessive traction, ensuring that the vine can grow healthily according to its own laws, reducing human intervention, and improving the automation level of planting management.

[0043] In some possible embodiments, the power mechanism 6 includes: a stepper motor that cooperates with a tension sensor; and a light sensor connected to the stepper motor.

[0044] In this embodiment, the stepper motor can rotate precisely at a specific step angle, converting the rotational motion into the linear motion required by the traction rope 5, providing power for the traction of the yam vine. The light sensor can sense the light intensity of the surrounding environment, monitor the light data in real time, and transmit the monitored light information to the stepper motor, thereby adjusting the speed and step angle of the stepper motor to adapt to the growth needs of the vine under different light conditions, ensuring that the traction process always conforms to the actual growth of the vine.

[0045] When this yam directional growth traction device is in operation, the support frame 1 is placed in the planting area. The extension and retraction length of the support legs 2 are adjusted according to the terrain to keep the support frame 1 horizontal. The anti-sinking plate of the support base 3 is in full contact with the ground to ensure the stability of the device. Three guide wheels 4 are set on the top of the support frame 1. The traction rope 5 passes through each guide wheel 4 in sequence to form a Z-shaped path. One end of the traction rope 5 is connected to a stepper motor, and the other end is connected to a tension sensor. By placing the yam vine into the self-locking clamp 7, the diameter sensing spring of the self-locking clamp 7 is in the initial state, clamping and assembling the vine. The stepper motor drives the traction rope 5 to move along the Z-shaped path. During the traction process, the tension sensor senses the traction in real time. The tension of rope 5 is monitored and the tension data is fed back to the control module. The control module compares the actual tension value with the preset appropriate tension range. If the tension exceeds the range, it sends a command to the stepper motor to adjust the stepper motor speed or step angle, thereby changing the traction force of the traction rope 5 and restoring the tension to the appropriate range. At the same time, the light sensor monitors the light intensity in real time and transmits the light data to the control module. The control module further adjusts the operating parameters of the stepper motor according to the changes in light intensity. When the light is strong, the vine growth is faster, and the control module will increase the step angle of the stepper motor accordingly to increase the traction force. When the light is weak, the traction force will be reduced to adapt to the growth needs of the vine under different light conditions. As the yam vines grow, their diameter gradually increases. When the vine diameter exceeds 5mm, the diameter sensing spring deforms under the pressure of the vine, triggering the automatic release mechanism inside the self-locking clamp 7. This causes the self-locking clamp 7 to release its grip on the vine and the traction rope 5, separating the traction rope 5 from the vine. This avoids excessive traction on vines that have grown to a certain thickness. Through the coordinated work of the power mechanism 6, the traction rope 5, the guide wheel 4, and the self-locking clamp 7, automatic directional traction of the yam vines is achieved. Planters only need to perform clamping operations in the early stages of vine growth; the subsequent traction process is completed automatically by the device, greatly reducing manual intervention, lowering labor intensity, and improving planting efficiency, thus meeting the needs of large-scale planting.
