Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of peanut harvesting technology, and in particular relates to a feeding device for a peanut harvesting machine. Background Technology

[0002] A peanut pod picker is an agricultural machine used to separate peanut pods from the plant. It is mainly used in fields or threshing grounds after peanut harvesting, significantly improving harvesting efficiency and reducing labor intensity. Based on operational needs, peanut pod pickers can be divided into three types: stationary, self-propelled, and towed. Stationary pickers are suitable for small-scale planting, requiring manual feeding of the plants; they have a simple structure and low cost. Self-propelled pickers integrate harvesting and pod picking functions, suitable for large-scale planting, offering high efficiency but higher cost. Towed pickers are driven by tractors and are suitable for medium-sized farms, offering good flexibility. However, in towed pickers, a feeding device is needed to transport the plants into the machine. But the feeding device of a peanut pod picker still has the following drawbacks in actual use:

[0003] During the feeding process of the peanut harvester, soil clods, debris, and other debris fall from the peanut plants and directly enter the harvester, resulting in an excessive amount of debris in the harvester and affecting the smoothness of harvesting.

[0004] Secondly, during the feeding process of the peanut harvester, the soil clods and debris falling from the feeding device fall directly onto the ground. As the feeding continues, the soil clods and debris accumulate on the ground, making cleaning troublesome and affecting the convenience of the work. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding device for a peanut harvester. By setting up a drive component, a conveying component, and a receiving box, it solves the problem that soil clods, debris, etc., fall from the plants into the harvester during the operation of the peanut harvester, affecting the smoothness of harvesting, and that cleaning up soil clods, debris, etc., that fall during conveying is quite troublesome.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model relates to a feeding device for a peanut harvester, comprising a drive assembly, a conveying assembly, and a receiving box. The drive assembly includes a mounting plate, rotating discs, slots, and connecting shafts. Two connecting shafts are arranged parallel to each other. A rotating disc is fixed to both ends of each connecting shaft. A slot is formed on the edge of each rotating disc away from the connecting shaft. A mounting plate is rotatably connected to the end of each rotating disc away from the connecting shaft. A conveying assembly is arranged on the outer sides of the four rotating discs. The conveying assembly includes a transmission belt and connecting rods. Transmission belts are arranged around the rotating discs at the same direction ends of the two connecting shafts. Connecting rods are fixed at equal intervals between the two transmission belts in a path array. A receiving box is arranged at the lower part between the four mounting plates. The drive assembly drives the four rotating discs to rotate synchronously via two parallel connecting shafts. The slots on the edges of the rotating discs engage with the transmission belts of the conveying assembly. The transmission belts form a conveying platform through equally spaced connecting rods, used to carry peanut plants. The receiving box is located at the bottom of the device and is used to collect soil clods and debris dropped from the plants.

[0008] Furthermore, the drive assembly also includes a fixing strip and a baffle. The top of the two mounting plates on the same side of the conveying assembly is fixed with a fixing strip. A baffle is fixed on the side of the two fixing strips that are close to each other. The baffle is set on the top of the connecting rod above the transmission belt. The fixing strip spans the two mounting plates to form a support frame. The baffle installed on its inner side is suspended above the conveyor belt to prevent the plants from falling off the connecting rod during the conveying process and to ensure the stability of the conveying.

[0009] Furthermore, the drive assembly also includes a speed reducer, a drive motor, and a support base. A speed reducer is fixed to the side of the mounting plate away from the conveying assembly, and a support base is fixed to the bottom of the speed reducer. A drive motor is fixed to the end of the speed reducer away from the mounting plate. The drive motor outputs power after its speed is reduced and its torque increased by the speed reducer. The support base provides a stable base for the speed reducer. This combined mechanism transmits power to the rotating disk, achieving the drive requirement of low speed and high torque.

[0010] Furthermore, the output end of the drive motor is fixed to the input end of the reducer, the output shaft of the reducer passes through the mounting plate and is fixed to a rotating disk, and the output shaft of the reducer directly passes through the mounting plate and is rigidly connected to the rotating disk to form a linear transmission path, ensuring that power is efficiently transmitted to the conveying system.

[0011] Furthermore, the conveying assembly also includes a locking strip. Each inner ring of the transmission belt is fixed with a locking strip, and each locking strip is movably connected to the slots on the periphery of two rotating discs inside the transmission belt. The locking strip embedded in the transmission belt and the slots on the rotating discs form a meshing transmission, converting the rotational motion into the linear motion of the conveyor belt, while preventing the transmission belt from slipping.

[0012] Furthermore, a handle is fixed to one end of the receiving box, and the drive assembly also includes a limiting plate. The limiting plate is jointly fixed to one side of the two mounting plates near the reducer. The end of the receiving box away from the handle abuts against the limiting plate, which forms a positioning stop for the receiving box. The handle is designed for easy pulling and cleaning. This structure enables quick assembly and disassembly of the debris collection container, preventing soil accumulation from affecting equipment operation.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This invention solves the problem of soil clods and debris falling from the peanut plants into the peanut harvester, affecting the smoothness of harvesting, by setting up a drive component and a conveying component. The drive motor drives the reducer, which in turn drives the rotating discs to rotate. During rotation, the four rotating discs rotate together through the connecting shaft and the transmission belt, driving the overall movement of the transmission belt. At the same time, after being conveyed from the upper-level conveying device, the peanut plants fall onto the connecting rod at the top of the transmission belt of the conveying component. As the transmission belt moves, the peanut plants are conveyed into the harvester. During the process of conveying the peanut plants, soil clods at the roots of the peanut plants fall to the lower part of the conveying component, reducing the amount of soil clods entering the threshing machine during the peanut plant transportation process and increasing the smoothness of the harvester's operation.

[0015] This invention solves the problem of cumbersome cleaning of soil clods and debris falling during the feeding process of a peanut harvester by setting up a drive component, a conveying component, and a receiving box. During the operation of the conveying component, soil clods falling between the connecting rods fall into the receiving box and are received. After the receiving box has received the soil clods, the handle is pulled to pull the receiving box out from between the mounting plates, and the soil clods and debris in the receiving box are emptied. Then, the handle is pulled back to reset the receiving box, and it can receive soil clods and debris again, preventing soil clods and debris from accumulating under the conveying component, increasing the smoothness of cleaning, and avoiding affecting the normal operation of the equipment.

[0024] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Specific Implementation Example 1

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model relates to a feeding device for a peanut harvester, comprising a drive assembly 1, a conveying assembly 2, and a receiving box 3. The drive assembly 1 includes a mounting plate 101, a rotating disk 102, a slot 103, and a connecting shaft 104. Two connecting shafts 104 are arranged parallel to each other, connecting the two rotating disks 102 together. A rotating disk 102 is fixed to both ends of each connecting shaft 104. As the rotating disk 102 rotates, it drives the transmission belt 201. A slot 103 is provided at the edge of each rotating disk 102 away from the connecting shaft 104, and a retaining strip 203 is movably connected to the slot 103. A mounting plate 101 is rotatably connected to the end of each rotating disk 102 away from the connecting shaft 104. 101 provides support for the rotating disk 102 and the conveying assembly 2 on the working plane. The conveying assembly 2 is provided on the outer side of the four rotating disks 102. During the driving process, the conveying assembly 2 conveys whole peanut plants. The conveying assembly 2 includes a transmission belt 201 and a connecting rod 202. The two connecting shafts 104 are located at the same end of the rotating disk 102 and both sides are provided with transmission belts 201. The two transmission belts 201 are arranged in a path array and are fixed with connecting rods 202 at equal intervals. During the driving process of the driving assembly 1, the transmission belts 201 drive the connecting rods 202 to move. The lower part of the four mounting plates 101 is provided with a receiving box 3. The receiving box 3 receives soil clods, debris, etc. falling from the peanut plants.

[0026] Specifically, the drive assembly 1 also includes a fixing strip 106 and a baffle 107. The tops of the two mounting plates 101 located on the same side of the conveying assembly 2 are jointly fixed with the fixing strip 106. The baffle 107 is fixed on the side of the two fixing strips 106 that are close to each other. The baffle 107 is set on the top of the connecting rod 202 above the transmission belt 201. The drive assembly 1 connects the baffle 107 above the conveying assembly 2 through the fixing strip 106. The baffle 107 restricts the peanut plants passing on the connecting rod 202 of the conveying assembly 2.

[0027] Furthermore, the drive assembly 1 also includes a reducer 108, a drive motor 109, and a support base 110. The reducer 108 is fixed on the side of a mounting plate 101 away from the conveying assembly 2. The support base 110 is fixed on the bottom of the reducer 108. The drive motor 109 is fixed on the end of the reducer 108 away from the mounting plate 101. The drive motor 109 generates the power to drive the reducer 108 to work. After the reducer 108 transmits the power of the drive motor 109, it drives the rotating disk 102 to rotate. The support base 110 supports the reducer 108 on the working plane.

[0028] Furthermore, the output end of the drive motor 109 is fixed to the input end of the reducer 108, and the output shaft of the reducer 108 passes through the mounting plate 101 and is fixed to a rotating disk 102. The drive motor 109 drives the reducer 108 to work, and drives the rotating disk 102 to rotate after the reducer 108 works.

[0029] Furthermore, the conveying assembly 2 also includes a retaining strip 203. Each inner ring of the transmission belt 201 is fixed with a retaining strip 203. Each retaining strip 203 is movably connected to the retaining groove 103 on the periphery of the two rotating disks 102 inside the transmission belt 201. The conveying assembly 2 is engaged in the retaining groove 103 on the periphery of the rotating disk 102 by the retaining strip 203. During rotation, the retaining strip 203 and the transmission belt 201 are driven to move.

[0030] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: During operation, the drive motor 109 is started, and the drive motor 109 drives the reducer 108. Under the drive of the reducer 108, the rotating disk 102 is driven to rotate. During the rotation, the four rotating disks 102 rotate together through the connecting shaft 104 and the transmission belt 201, which drives the transmission belt 201 to move as a whole. At the same time, after the peanut plants are conveyed from the upper conveying device, they fall onto the connecting rod 202 at the upper part of the transmission belt 201 of the conveying component 2. After the transmission belt 201 moves, the peanut plants are conveyed to the threshing machine. During the process of conveying the peanut plants by the transmission belt 201, the soil clods at the roots of the peanut plants fall to the lower part of the conveying component 2, reducing the amount of soil clods entering the threshing machine during the peanut plant conveying process.

The limiting plate 105 is fixed to one side of the two mounting plates 101 near the reducer 108. The end of the receiving box 3 away from the handle 301 abuts against the limiting plate 105. When the receiving box 3 is working, its position between the four mounting plates 101 is limited by the limiting plate 105. By pulling the handle 301, the receiving box 3 can be pulled out from between the mounting plates 101.

[0032] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: During operation, when the conveying component 2 is working, the soil blocks falling between the connecting rods 202 fall into the receiving box 3 and are received by the receiving box 3. After the receiving box 3 receives the soil blocks, the handle 301 is pulled to pull the receiving box 3 out from between the mounting plates 101, and the soil blocks and debris in the receiving box 3 are poured out. Then, the receiving box 3 is reset by pulling the handle 301 to receive soil blocks and debris again, so as to prevent soil blocks and debris from accumulating under the conveying component 2.
