Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to an automatic drip irrigation tape recycling device, belonging to the technical field of winding devices. Background Technology
[0002] Drip irrigation tape is a specialized pipe used for agricultural irrigation. It is usually made of plastic and has small apertures or drippers that deliver water slowly and evenly to the roots of crops in a dripping form. This irrigation method can precisely control the water supply, avoid water waste, and reduce soil erosion and nutrient loss caused by over-irrigation. The use of drip irrigation tape not only improves irrigation efficiency but also allows for flexible adjustment of water supply according to the water needs of crops. It is suitable for the cultivation of a variety of crops, and its application can significantly improve the sustainability of agricultural production, especially in arid regions or water-scarce environments.
[0003] However, after the drip irrigation tape is used up, it needs to be recycled for reuse or proper disposal. This process usually involves collecting the drip irrigation tape from the farmland and winding it up.
[0004] Traditional drip irrigation tape recovery devices typically employ a straight-line reel design. This design has several significant drawbacks in practical operation. During the reeling process, drip irrigation tape often accumulates a large amount of mud and small stones due to moisture after use. When this tape is wound onto the straight-line reel, the mud and stones are flung out by the centrifugal force generated during reeling. Due to the straight-line reel layout, this flung mud and stones often splash towards the cab. This not only makes the area around the cab dirty and messy but also poses a potential safety hazard to the operator. For example, mud and stones may hit the cab windows or the operator's body, obstructing vision or causing injury. Furthermore, frequent cleaning of the mud and stones around the cab increases the operator's workload and reduces the efficiency of the recovery operation. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an automatic drip irrigation tape recycling device, which achieves high sensitivity and better information collection.
[0006] An automatic drip irrigation tape recycling device includes a recycling rack and movable wheels mounted on the recycling rack. The recycling rack is equipped with a transmission winding mechanism, which includes:
[0007] A transmission structure is mounted on the recycling rack, and a connecting shaft for connecting to an external drive source is connected to the transmission structure.
[0008] The winding structure is arranged symmetrically in a figure-eight shape and includes two winding units. One end of each winding unit is connected to the transmission structure, and the other end is mounted on a rotating seat configured on the recycling rack. The transmission structure is used to drive the two winding units to perform winding actions simultaneously.
[0009] Furthermore, the connecting shaft rotates within the bridge mounted on the recycling rack.
[0010] Furthermore, the transmission structure includes:
[0011] A bevel gear set is mounted on the recycling rack, and a transmission shaft for power transmission is provided between the bevel gear set and the connecting shaft;
[0012] The output shafts are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bevel gear set, and the two output shafts are driven to rotate synchronously by the gears inside the bevel gear set.
[0013] Furthermore, the recycling rack is equipped with several movable wheels, and a connecting seat for connecting to the rear mounting position of the tractor is fixed on the recycling rack.
[0014] Furthermore, the winding structure includes:
[0015] A tape reel, one end of which is fixed with a connector, which is connected to the output shaft, and the other end of which is connected to the rotating seat;
[0016] A tape reel is fixedly mounted on the tape reel shaft and is used to support and guide the winding of the drip irrigation tape.
[0017] Furthermore, the tape reel is equipped with several spring rulers, which are used to pick up the drip irrigation tape laid in the farmland during the winding process.
[0018] Furthermore, the drive source is the tail drive of the tractor, which directly drives the connecting shaft through the tail drive shaft of the tractor.
[0019] Beneficial effects:
[0020] This utility model's automatic drip irrigation tape retrieval device optimizes the winding structure layout, transforming the traditional straight-line winding shaft design into a symmetrical figure-eight arrangement. This significantly improves the device's practicality and safety. During the winding process, the figure-eight structure causes debris such as soil and stones carried by the drip irrigation tape to be thrown outwards, effectively preventing these debris from being thrown inwards towards the driver's cab. This solves the problem of a dirty and messy operating environment, obstructing the driver's view and affecting work comfort caused by debris being thrown into the driver's cab during the retrieval of drip irrigation tape using a traditional straight-line winding shaft. This improvement not only enhances the cleanliness of the working environment but also strengthens the operator's sense of security and comfort, thereby improving overall work efficiency and making the drip irrigation tape retrieval process more efficient and safer.
[0021] In addition, this invention features several spring rulers on the tape reel. These spring rulers ensure that the drip irrigation tape can be easily and automatically picked up from the ground during the reeling process. Through its elasticity, the spring rulers can automatically adjust their contact with the ground according to the undulations of the ground. Even when encountering ground bumps or depressions, the drip irrigation tape can be smoothly lifted and guided onto the tape reel. This design not only improves the efficiency of drip irrigation tape recycling but also reduces manual intervention, further enhancing the automation and practicality of the device.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0031] Please see Figures 1-7 As shown, an automatic drip irrigation tape recycling device includes a recycling rack 1 and movable wheels 2 mounted on the recycling rack 1. The recycling rack 1 is equipped with a transmission winding mechanism, which includes:
[0032] A transmission structure is mounted on the recycling rack 1, and a connecting shaft 6 for connecting to an external drive source is connected to the transmission structure.
[0033] The winding structure is arranged symmetrically in a figure-eight shape and includes two winding units. One end of each winding unit is connected to the transmission structure, and the other end is mounted on a rotating seat 4 configured on the recycling rack 1. The transmission structure is used to drive the two winding units to perform winding actions simultaneously.
[0034] In this implementation, the recycling rack 1 serves as the core support structure of the entire device. Its robustness and stability are crucial to ensuring the normal operation of the device. The installation of the moving wheels 2 allows the recycling rack 1 to move flexibly, facilitating operations in different farmland areas and greatly improving the applicability of the device.
[0035] The transmission structure is installed on the recycling rack 1 and connected to an external drive source via a connecting shaft 6. This design enables the device to achieve efficient power transmission with the help of an external power source, such as a tractor or other power equipment. The design of the connecting shaft 6 not only ensures stable power transmission, but also ensures smooth operation of the transmission structure through mechanical cooperation.
[0036] The winding structure is arranged symmetrically in a figure-eight shape. This layout allows two winding units to work simultaneously, greatly improving the recycling efficiency of the drip irrigation tape. When winding the tape, the soil and stones carried on the wound drip irrigation tape will not be flung inward or thrown towards the cab. One end of each winding unit is connected to the transmission structure, and the other end is mounted on the rotating seat 4 configured on the recycling frame 1. The design of the rotating seat 4 provides stable support for the winding unit and also allows it to rotate freely during the recycling process. Through precise power distribution, the transmission structure can drive two winding units to perform winding actions simultaneously, ensuring that the drip irrigation tape can be evenly and tightly wound on the winding unit during the recycling process.
[0037] In practical use, when it is necessary to recycle the drip irrigation tape, simply connect the device to the external drive source and fix the end of the drip irrigation tape to the winding unit. As the external drive source is started, the transmission structure receives power through the connecting shaft 6 and transmits it to the two winding units. The winding units start to rotate under the support of the rotating seat 4, neatly winding up the drip irrigation tape. This automated recycling method not only saves manpower but also improves the speed and quality of recycling, avoiding the situation of the drip irrigation tape getting tangled or damaged during the recycling process.
[0038] Please see Figure 6 As a technical optimization of this utility model, the connecting shaft 6 rotates within the bridge 5 installed on the recycling rack 1.
[0039] In this implementation, the installation method of the connecting shaft 6 further optimizes the performance of the drip irrigation tape automatic recycling device. The connecting shaft 6 is designed to rotate within the bridge 5 installed on the recycling rack 1. The design of the bridge 5 not only provides stable support for the connecting shaft 6, but also ensures its precise alignment and smooth rotation during operation.
[0040] This structure enables the connecting shaft 6 to efficiently transmit the power from the external drive source to the transmission structure, thereby driving the operation of the entire winding mechanism. The bridge 5 can effectively reduce energy loss during power transmission and avoid affecting the normal operation of the device due to axial or radial offset.
[0041] Please see Figure 6 As a technical optimization of this utility model, the transmission structure includes:
[0042] A bevel gear set 8 is mounted on the recycling rack 1, and a transmission shaft 7 for power transmission is provided between the bevel gear set 8 and the connecting shaft 6.
[0043] Output shafts 9 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bevel gear set 8, and the two output shafts 9 are driven to rotate synchronously by the gears inside the bevel gear set 8.
[0044] In this implementation, the design of the transmission structure further improves the power transmission system of the automatic drip irrigation tape recovery device. The bevel gear set 8 is cleverly mounted on the recovery frame 1, and power is effectively transmitted between it and the connecting shaft 6 via the drive shaft 7. The drive shaft 7 not only ensures smooth power transmission but also, through its precise mechanical design, efficiently transmits power to the bevel gear set 8.
[0045] As the core component of the transmission structure, the bevel gear set 8's internal gear design allows for precise power distribution. Output shafts 9 are symmetrically positioned on both sides of the bevel gear set 8, and through the gear transmission within the bevel gear set 8, the two output shafts 9 can rotate synchronously. This synchronous rotation design is crucial because it ensures that the two winding units maintain a consistent speed and tension when retrieving the drip irrigation tape, thereby preventing the tape from twisting, tangling, or being damaged during the retrieval process.
[0046] In actual operation, when the external drive source transmits power to the transmission shaft 7 through the connecting shaft 6, the bevel gear set 8 will evenly distribute the power to the two output shafts 9. Since the output shafts 9 are directly connected to the winding unit, this power distribution method can ensure that the two winding units rotate at the same speed and direction, so as to achieve uniform winding of the drip irrigation tape. In addition, the design of the bevel gear set 8 also takes into account transmission efficiency and noise control. By optimizing the meshing angle and precision of the gears, the device can maintain a low noise level during operation while improving transmission efficiency.
[0047] Please see Figure 4 As a technical optimization of this utility model, the recycling rack 1 has several moving wheels 2 installed on it, and the recycling rack 1 is fixed with a connecting seat 3 for connecting to the rear mounting position of the tractor.
[0048] In this implementation, the installation of the moving wheels 2 allows the recycling frame 1 to move flexibly, ensuring the stability and passability of the device on different terrains. Several moving wheels 2 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the recycling frame 1. This layout makes the device move more smoothly in the farmland, easily cope with uneven ground, and reduce the situation of drip tape recycling not being smooth due to bumps.
[0049] In addition, the connecting seat 3 fixed on the recycling rack 1 further enhances the practicality of the device. The design of the connecting seat 3 allows the recycling rack 1 to be tightly connected to the mounting position at the rear of the tractor. The structure of the connecting seat 3 ensures a firm and reliable connection with the tractor, while allowing the device to be quickly disassembled and installed when necessary, making it convenient for users to adjust according to different operational needs.
[0050] Please see Figure 7 As a technical optimization of this utility model, the winding structure includes:
[0051] A tape reel 10 is provided, with a connector 11 fixed at one end of the tape reel 10. The connector 11 is connected to the output shaft 9, and the other end of the tape reel 10 is connected to the rotating seat 4.
[0052] A tape reel 12 is fixedly mounted on the tape reel shaft 10 and is used to support and guide the winding of the drip irrigation tape.
[0053] The tape reel 12 is equipped with several spring rulers 13, which are used to pick up the drip irrigation tape laid in the farmland during the winding process.
[0054] In this implementation, the tape reel 10 is the core component of the winding structure. One end of the tape reel 10 is connected to the output shaft 9 via the connector 11. This connection method ensures the smooth transmission of power, allowing the tape reel 10 to rotate synchronously with the rotation of the output shaft 9. The other end of the tape reel 10 is connected to the rotating seat 4. The rotating seat 4 not only provides stable support for the tape reel 10, but also allows it to rotate freely during the recycling process, thereby ensuring the smooth winding of the drip irrigation tape.
[0055] The tape reel 12 is fixedly installed on the tape reel shaft 10. Its main function is to support and guide the winding of the drip irrigation tape. The design of the tape reel 12 takes into account the flexibility and deformability of the drip irrigation tape. Through a reasonable structural layout, it ensures that the drip irrigation tape can remain flat during the winding process and avoids wrinkles or twisting.
[0056] To further improve the quality and efficiency of drip irrigation tape recycling, several spring rulers 13 are also installed on the tape reel 12. The main function of the spring rulers 13 is to pick up the drip irrigation tape laid in the farmland during the winding process. Since the farmland surface is usually uneven, the design of the spring rulers 13 can ensure that its ruler end makes better contact with the ground. Even if it encounters a convex surface, it can still keep in contact with the ground through elasticity, thereby effectively picking up the drip irrigation tape from the ground and guiding it to the tape reel 12. This reduces manual intervention and further improves the automation level of the device. Through this design, the drip irrigation tape can be wound up more smoothly and steadily during the recycling process, ensuring the efficiency and reliability of the recycling operation.
[0057] Please see Figure 1 As a technical optimization of this utility model, the driving source is the tail drive of the tractor, which directly drives the connecting shaft 6 through the tail drive shaft of the tractor.
[0058] In this implementation, the connecting shaft 6 is directly driven by the drive shaft at the rear of the tractor, making the power transmission process more direct and efficient. This connection method not only reduces energy loss in the intermediate links, but also ensures the stability and reliability of power transmission. Under the drive of the tractor drive shaft, the connecting shaft 6 can smoothly transmit power to the bevel gear set 8 in the transmission structure, thereby driving the output shaft 9 and the winding shaft 10 to perform the winding action.
[0059] In practical use, this design allows the drip irrigation tape recovery device to be seamlessly connected to the tractor. Users only need to fix the connection seat 3 of the recovery device to the mounting position at the rear of the tractor and connect the tractor's drive shaft to the connection shaft 6 to start the recovery operation. The tractor's travel speed can be adjusted by the operating lever in the cab, thereby controlling the recovery speed of the drip irrigation tape to adapt to different operational needs.
