Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orchard harvesting technology, and more specifically, to a harvesting auxiliary device for an orchard integrated operation vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] An orchard multi-operation vehicle is a type of machinery specifically designed for orchard operations. It aims to improve the efficiency of orchard management and reduce labor costs. It typically has multiple functions, including transportation, pruning, fertilization, spraying, and harvesting, to meet the diverse needs of orchard management.

[0003] A search revealed that invention patent CN114342653A discloses a lightweight orchard pruning and harvesting vehicle, including a vehicle body with a hydraulic rod installed on the top surface. The upper end of the hydraulic rod is connected to a working hopper, and the right end of the fruit guide trough is connected to a receiving hopper. A ladder is welded to the outer left wall of the working hopper. By setting up a screening component, the harvested fruit is placed into the receiving hopper, where it rolls through the fruit guide trough. The screening component below the fruit guide trough, with multiple adjusting plates forming a conical structure, causes the distance between the front and rear adjusting plates to gradually increase from right to left. This results in smaller fruit falling from the right, medium-sized fruit from the middle, and larger fruit from the left, collected by a collection box. This effectively screens and classifies the fruit, eliminating the need for further sorting and significantly improving harvesting efficiency.

[0004] However, the above patent still has the following shortcomings: when the branches of the fruit tree are far apart, the staff need to manually pull the branches to pick the fruit. When there are many fruits on the branches, constantly pulling the branches will affect the picking efficiency and will also cause fatigue to the staff. Therefore, we have proposed a picking auxiliary device for an orchard integrated operation vehicle. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a harvesting auxiliary device for an orchard integrated operation vehicle.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A harvesting auxiliary device for an orchard integrated operation vehicle includes a working bucket. An arc-shaped bracket is fitted onto the side of the working bucket. A fixed support mechanism is provided on the arc-shaped bracket. Two support bases are fixedly connected to the top surface of the arc-shaped bracket. A rotating frame is rotatably connected to the inner side of the two support bases. A rotating seat is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating frame. A sliding groove is provided at the end of the rotating seat. A bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the sliding groove. A first brake motor is fixedly installed on the side of the rotating seat. The output shaft of the first brake motor is connected to the end of the bidirectional lead screw via a coupling. Drive seats are threaded onto the outer sides of both ends of the bidirectional lead screw. The two drive seats are slidably connected to the inner cavity of the sliding groove. A telescopic mechanism is rotatably connected to the ends of the two drive seats. A mounting box is rotatably connected to the end of the telescopic mechanism. A second brake motor is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the mounting box. The output shaft of the second brake motor extends to the outside of the mounting box and is provided with a clamping mechanism.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the clamping mechanism includes a support frame fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the second brake motor. A dual-axis brake motor is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the support frame. The two output shafts of the dual-axis brake motor are respectively fixedly connected to one-way lead screws via couplings. The ends of the two one-way lead screws are respectively rotatably connected to the ends of the support frame. Moving blocks are threaded onto the outer sides of the two one-way lead screws. The two ends of the two moving blocks extend to both sides of the support frame and are fixedly connected to clamping plates. Anti-slip pads are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the ends of the two clamping plates. The side of the moving block is in contact with the inner wall of the support frame.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fixed support mechanism includes a screw threaded onto the side of the arc-shaped card seat, a plurality of support balls sleeved on the top of the inner cavity of the arc-shaped card seat, and four limiting rollers rotatably connected to the top of the inner cavity of the arc-shaped card seat. The sides of two of the limiting rollers are in contact with the outer side of the working bucket, and the sides of the other two limiting rollers are in contact with the inner side of the working bucket. The bottom surface of the support balls is in contact with the top surface of the working bucket. The end of the screw extends into the inner cavity of the arc-shaped card seat and is fixedly connected to a pressing disc. The other end of the screw is fixedly connected to a knob.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a handle is fixedly connected to the top surface of the rotating seat, and a control button is provided on the top surface of the rotating seat. The control button is electrically connected to the first brake motor, the second brake motor, and the dual-axis brake motor respectively.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a power supply box is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the arc-shaped card seat, a storage battery is provided in the inner cavity of the power supply box, and a door is hinged to the side of the power supply box by a spring hinge. The storage battery is electrically connected to the control button, the first brake motor, the second brake motor and the dual-axis brake motor respectively.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the telescopic mechanism includes two sets of telescopic frames rotatably connected end to end, and a rotating shaft is rotatably connected between the two vertically arranged telescopic frames. The ends of two of the telescopic frames are rotatably connected to two drive seats respectively, and the ends of the other two telescopic frames are rotatably connected to a mounting box.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the slide groove is in contact with the side of the drive seat.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0015] (1) In this utility model, when it is necessary to pull the branches, the first brake motor drives the bidirectional lead screw to rotate. The threaded engagement between the bidirectional lead screw and the two drive seats drives the two drive seats to move closer to each other. The drive seats drive the telescopic mechanism to extend, thereby driving the two clamping plates to be placed on the outside of the branches. The dual-axis brake motor drives the two unidirectional lead screws. The threaded engagement between the two unidirectional lead screws and the two moving blocks drives the two clamping plates and the two anti-slip pads to move closer to each other to clamp and fix the branches. At this time, the first brake motor drives the bidirectional lead screw to reverse. The threaded engagement between the bidirectional lead screw and the two drive seats drives the two drive seats to move away from each other, thereby causing the telescopic mechanism to retract. This causes the clamping plates to pull the branches closer to the working bucket so that the workers can pick the fruit. This avoids the problem of workers having to manually pull the branches to pick the fruit when the branches of the fruit tree are far away, and at the same time reduces the labor intensity of the workers.

[0016] (2) In this utility model, when the arc-shaped card seat is fitted on the working bucket, the support ball and the limiting roller are used to make the arc-shaped card seat rotate on the working bucket, thereby adjusting the position of the clamping mechanism on the working bucket. The screw is rotated by turning the knob, and the screw and the arc-shaped card seat are connected by the threaded engagement to drive the extrusion plate to extrude the inner side of the working bucket, thereby fixing the arc-shaped card seat so that the device can be used stably.

[0030] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The clamping mechanism 14 includes a support frame 15 fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the second brake motor 13. A dual-axis brake motor 16 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the support frame 15. The two output shafts of the dual-axis brake motor 16 are respectively fixedly connected to one-way lead screws 17 through couplings. The ends of the two one-way lead screws 17 are rotatably connected to the ends of the support frame 15. Moving blocks 18 are threadedly sleeved on the outer sides of the two one-way lead screws 17.

[0031] In this embodiment, the two one-way lead screws 17 have opposite rotation directions, and the two moving blocks 18 are provided with screw holes that are compatible with the one-way lead screws 17, so that the one-way lead screws 17 and the moving blocks 18 can be smoothly transmitted. In addition, the inner wall of the support frame 15 is used to limit the moving blocks 18, so that the moving blocks 18 can only move along the axial direction of the one-way lead screws 17.

[0032] For details, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The fixed support mechanism 3 includes a screw 21 threaded onto the side of the arc-shaped card seat 2, multiple support balls 24 sleeved on the top of the inner cavity of the arc-shaped card seat 2, and four limiting rollers 25 rotatably connected to the top of the inner cavity of the arc-shaped card seat 2. The sides of two limiting rollers 25 are in contact with the outer side of the working bucket 1, and the sides of the other two limiting rollers 25 are in contact with the inner side of the working bucket 1. The bottom surface of the support balls 24 is in contact with the top surface of the working bucket 1. The end of the screw 21 extends into the inner cavity of the arc-shaped card seat 2 and is fixedly connected to a pressing disc 23. The other end of the screw 21 is fixedly connected to a knob 22.

[0033] In this embodiment, the support ball 24 is used to ensure that the arc-shaped card seat 2 can move on the top of the working bucket 1. The support ball 24 assists the arc-shaped card seat 2 to rotate around the working bucket 1. In addition, the screw 21 and the arc-shaped card seat 2 are threaded together to drive the extrusion plate 23 to extrude the inner side of the working bucket 1, thereby fixing the position of the arc-shaped card seat 2.

[0034] For details, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A handle 31 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the rotating seat 6. A control button 32 is provided on the top surface of the rotating seat 6. The control button 32 is electrically connected to the first brake motor 9, the second brake motor 13 and the dual-axis brake motor 16 respectively.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first brake motor 9, the second brake motor 13, and the dual-axis brake motor 16 are controlled by the control button 32.

[0036] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The bottom surface of the arc-shaped card holder 2 is fixedly connected to the power supply box 26. The inner cavity of the power supply box 26 is equipped with a storage battery 28. The side of the power supply box 26 is hinged with a box door 27 by a spring hinge. The storage battery 28 is electrically connected to the control button 32, the first brake motor 9, the second brake motor 13 and the dual-axis brake motor 16 respectively.

[0037] In this embodiment, the storage battery 28 is used to power the control button 32, the first brake motor 9, the second brake motor 13, and the dual-axis brake motor 16.

[0038] For details, please refer to Figures 2 to 6 The telescopic mechanism 11 includes two sets of telescopic frames 29 that are rotatably connected end to end. A rotating shaft 30 is rotatably connected between the two vertically arranged telescopic frames 29. The ends of the two telescopic frames 29 are rotatably connected to the two drive seats 10 respectively, and the ends of the other two telescopic frames 29 are rotatably connected to the mounting box 12.

[0039] For details, please refer to Figure 4 The inner wall of the slide 7 fits against the side of the drive seat 10.

[0040] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the slide groove 7 is used to limit the drive seat 10, so that the drive seat 10 can only move along the axial direction of the bidirectional lead screw 8.

[0041] Working principle: In use, first, the arc-shaped bracket 2 is fitted onto the side of the working bucket 1, so that the support ball 24 on the inner side of the arc-shaped bracket 2 contacts the top surface of the working bucket 1. At the same time, the four limiting rollers 25 are respectively in contact with the inner and outer sides of the working bucket 1, allowing the arc-shaped bracket 2 to rotate on the side of the working bucket 1 for position adjustment. Then, the knob 22 is turned to drive the screw 21 to rotate. Through the threaded engagement between the screw 21 and the arc-shaped bracket 2, the extrusion plate 23 is driven to extrude the inner side of the working bucket 1, thereby fixing the arc-shaped bracket 2. At this time, the handle 31 is held to rotate the rotating seat 6, the telescopic mechanism 11, and the clamping mechanism 14 upward, so that the clamping mechanism 14 is aligned with the branch to be pulled. Then, the second brake motor 13 is started to drive the support frame 15 to rotate, thereby causing the support frame 15 and the two clamping plates 19 to rotate. At the same time, the first brake motor 9 is started to drive the support frame 15 to rotate. The bidirectional lead screw 8 rotates, and the threaded engagement between the bidirectional lead screw 8 and the two drive seats 10 causes the two drive seats 10 to move closer together. The drive seats 10 then drive the telescopic mechanism 11 to extend, thereby moving the clamping plates 19 closer to the branch to be pulled, so that the two clamping plates 19 are positioned on the outside of the branch. At this time, the dual-axis brake motor 16 is activated, driving the two unidirectional lead screws 17. The threaded engagement between the two unidirectional lead screws 17 and the two moving blocks 18 causes the two clamping plates 19 and the two anti-slip pads 20 to move closer together, so that the two anti-slip pads 20 can clamp and fix the branch. Finally, the first brake motor 9 is activated, driving the bidirectional lead screw 8 to reverse. The threaded engagement between the bidirectional lead screw 8 and the two drive seats 10 causes the two drive seats 10 to move away from each other, thereby causing the telescopic mechanism 11 to retract. This causes the clamping plates 19 to pull the branch closer to the working bucket 1, so that the workers can pick the fruit.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model based on the technical solution and its improved concept should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
