Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of transportation, specifically a harvesting and baling device for Melaleuca alternifolia. Background Technology
[0002] Melaleuca alternifolia, with its dense foliage, is a beautiful garden tree, street tree, and windbreak. It is suitable for planting in highway medians, lower slopes, interchanges, service areas, and management areas. Melaleuca alternifolia is also a highly valuable cash crop; its fresh branches and leaves can be used to extract essential oil, known as tea tree oil. Therefore, mature Melaleuca alternifolia needs to be harvested, requiring the use of carts for transportation. However, when piling the harvested Melaleuca alternifolia onto carts to maximize transport capacity, the pile often far exceeds the height of the cart, making it difficult to bundle and prevent it from falling off. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved: How to prevent Melaleuca alternifolia from falling off the cart.
[0004] Technical solution: This utility model provides a harvesting and baling device for Melaleuca alternifolia, including a vehicle body structure and an anti-drop structure: the vehicle body structure includes a flatbed cart, with a hopper box installed at the top of the flatbed cart; the anti-drop structure includes two sets of sleeves connected at the top of the flatbed cart and symmetrical about the hopper box, each sleeve having a movably inserted rod at its top, and the tops of two closely spaced rods being fixed together with a top plate, with a top frame installed between the two top plates directly above the hopper box; in addition, the flatbed cart is also equipped with an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the height of the top plate.
[0005] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes a horizontal plate installed between two sleeves that are close to each other, with a bearing connected to the top of each horizontal plate, and a stud threaded through the top plate fitted on the bearing.
[0006] Furthermore, a handwheel is installed at the top of the stud.
[0007] Furthermore, a connecting hole is made at the top of the horizontal plate, and the bearing is located in this connecting hole.
[0008] Furthermore, the top of the cart is symmetrically connected to two support plates distributed along its width. A locking mechanism is provided between the support plates and the hopper box so that the hopper box can be locked and disassembled.
[0009] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a locking groove opened at the top of the support plate and communicating with both the front and rear of it. A locking block is tightly locked in the locking groove, and the top of the locking block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hopper box.
[0010] Furthermore, the engaging groove can be a trapezoidal groove or a T-shaped groove, and correspondingly, the engaging block is a trapezoidal block or a T-shaped block that is adapted to this trapezoidal groove or T-shaped groove.
[0011] Technical effect: In this utility model, the height of the top plate can be adjusted by the adjustment mechanism, so that the height of the top plate and the top frame can be changed. In this way, the top frame can be used to press the Melaleuca alternifolia stacked in the hopper box, thereby avoiding the problem of Melaleuca alternifolia overflowing and falling out of the hopper box.

[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0018] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," "top / bottom," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0019] The Melaleuca alternifolia harvesting and baling device provided in this specific embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the device includes a vehicle body structure and an anti-fall structure. The vehicle body structure includes a flatbed cart 1, with a hopper box 2 mounted on its top. The anti-fall structure includes two sets of sleeves 3 connected to the top of the flatbed cart 1 and symmetrical about the hopper box 2. Each sleeve 3 has a movably inserted rod 4 at its top. The tops of two closely spaced rods 4 are each fixed to a top plate 5. A top frame 6 is installed between the two top plates 5, located directly above the hopper box 2. Additionally, the flatbed cart 1 is equipped with an adjustment mechanism 7 for adjusting the height of the top plate 5. Figure 1 As shown, the adjusting mechanism 7 includes a horizontal plate 701 installed between two closely spaced sleeves 3. Each horizontal plate 701 has a bearing 702 connected to its top. Specifically, a connecting hole is formed at the top of the horizontal plate 701, and the bearing 702 is located in this connecting hole. A threaded stud 703 is threaded through the top plate 5 onto the bearing 702, and a handwheel 8 is installed at the top of the stud 703. Thus, under the action of the adjusting mechanism 7, the height of the top plate 5 can be adjusted, thereby changing the height of the top plate 5 and the top frame 6. This allows the top frame 6 to be used to press down the Melaleuca alternifolia stacked in the hopper box 2, preventing the Melaleuca alternifolia from overflowing and falling out of the hopper box 2.
[0020] In addition, two support plates 9, distributed along their width, are symmetrically connected to the top of the trolley 1. A locking mechanism 10 is provided between the support plates 9 and the hopper box 2, allowing the hopper box 2 to be locked and disassembled. Figure 3 As shown, the engaging mechanism 10 includes an engaging groove 1001 located at the top of the support plate 9 and communicating with both its front and rear ends. An engaging block 1002 is tightly engaged within the engaging groove 1001, and the top end of the engaging block 1002 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the hopper box 2. The structure for this tight engagement can vary; for example, the engaging groove 1001 can be a trapezoidal groove or a T-shaped groove, and correspondingly, the engaging block 1002 is a trapezoidal block or a T-shaped block adapted to this trapezoidal groove or T-shaped groove.
[0021] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
[0022] In the unused space of this device, all electrical components and their matching drivers are placed, and all the aforementioned driving components, which refer to power elements, electrical components and adapted power supplies, are connected by wires by those skilled in the art. The specific connection method should refer to the above description of the sequential operation of each electrical component to complete the electrical connection. The detailed connection method is a well-known technology in the art.
