Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable transportation technology, specifically a vehicle for transporting easily damaged vegetables during harvesting. Background Technology
[0002] When harvesting vegetables, care must be taken to avoid damage, as this leads to additional economic losses. This is especially true for vegetables like tomatoes, spinach, and lettuce, which require extra attention. Currently, whether vegetables are grown in open fields or greenhouses, the long plots make harvesting and transportation a significant undertaking. Traditionally, there are two modes of vegetable harvesting and transportation: one involves manual harvesting using harvesting boxes, placing the harvested vegetables in the boxes, and then transporting the boxes out of the field. This method is physically demanding for workers. The other method involves placing a transport vehicle in the field and loading the harvested vegetables directly into it. However, this method can easily lead to the crushing and damage of vegetables at the bottom when overcrowded, increasing the breakage rate. Therefore, there is a need to develop a vegetable harvesting and transportation vehicle that can reduce vegetable breakage while minimizing the workload for workers. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the above technical problems, this utility model provides a vegetable picking and transfer vehicle that can reduce the vegetable damage rate while avoiding excessive labor intensity for workers, thus solving the problem of high damage rate in the current picking and transportation of easily damaged vegetables.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a fragile vegetable harvesting and turnover vehicle, including a bottom carriage. The bottom carriage has rotatably connected movable wheels at both ends of its lower side. A traction frame is fixedly connected to the front end of the bottom carriage. At least one assembly carriage is detachably connected to the upper end of the bottom carriage from bottom to top. The assembly carriage is formed by assembling side panels, cross panels, and a bottom plate. Placement slots for placing the side panels, cross panels, and bottom plate are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom carriage.
[0005] Furthermore, at least two connecting posts are fixedly connected at intervals to the top of both sides of the bottom carriage and the top of the side panel. The bottom of the side panel is provided with connecting holes that match the connecting posts. The connecting holes are inserted into the connecting posts. The inner sides of the front and rear of the side panel are provided with slots. The two ends of the horizontal plate are fixedly connected with locking blocks that match the slots. The locking blocks are slidably engaged with the slots.
[0006] Furthermore, the lower inner side of the side plate and the cross plate are both fixedly connected to a support boss, and the bottom plate is placed on the support boss.
[0007] Furthermore, several ventilation holes are provided at the front and rear of the bottom carriage, as well as on the side panels and cross panels.
[0008] Furthermore, the inner walls of the bottom carriage, side panels, and cross panels, as well as the upper and lower surfaces of the bottom plate, are all fixedly connected with a protective layer on one side.
[0009] Furthermore, connecting rods are fixedly connected to both ends of the lower side of the bottom carriage, and the lower end of the connecting rods is rotatably connected to the moving wheels.
[0010] Furthermore, shock absorbers are fixedly connected to both ends of the lower side of the bottom carriage, and bearing seats are fixedly connected to the lower end of the shock absorbers. The moving wheels are rotatably connected to the bearing seats.
[0011] This utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0012] 1. This utility model sets up a bottom carriage, and an assembly carriage is set up from bottom to top on the bottom carriage. The assembly carriage is spliced together with side panels, cross panels and bottom panels. Placement slots for placing side panels, cross panels and bottom panels are connected to both sides of the bottom carriage. Vegetables can be transferred by turnover vehicle during vegetable harvesting, reducing the labor intensity of workers. In addition, the multi-layer carriage design can avoid the problem of vegetables at the bottom being damaged due to too many vegetables placed in the carriage, thus reducing the damage rate of vegetables during harvesting and transportation.
[0013] 2. This utility model ensures that vegetables are ventilated by opening ventilation holes at the front and rear of the bottom carriage, as well as on the side and cross panels, thus preventing them from spoiling due to prolonged exposure to drafts.
[0014] 3. This utility model reduces the vibration and bumps of the vehicle body when the turnover vehicle moves by installing a shock absorber at the lower end of the bottom carriage, thereby reducing the damage rate of vegetables. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] When harvesting vegetables such as tomatoes, spinach, and lettuce, since most farmland now meets high standards and has long planting areas, harvesting vehicles are typically used to load the harvested vegetables. Once the vehicle is full, it is then pushed out of the harvesting area. Alternatively, harvesting boxes are used to prevent the vegetables from being crushed or damaged. Workers then transport the boxes out of the planting area. However, transporting these boxes is physically demanding for the workers. Therefore, there is a need to develop a harvesting transport vehicle that reduces the workload of workers and lowers the damage rate during vegetable harvesting and transportation.
[0022] Example 1:
[0023] like Figure 1-3 The illustrated fragile vegetable harvesting vehicle includes a bottom compartment 1. Connecting rods 2 are fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom sides of the bottom compartment 1. The lower ends of the connecting rods 2 are rotatably connected to axles via bearings. Moving wheels 3 are fixedly connected to the outer ends of the axles. A traction frame 4 is fixedly connected to the front end of the bottom compartment 1. The traction frame 4 can be a pusher for workers to push, or a connecting frame connected to the rear end of a small agricultural vehicle. Normally, only pushing by workers is required. At least one assembly compartment is detachably connected from bottom to top at the upper end of the bottom compartment 1. The optimal number of assembly compartments is 3-4. Each assembly compartment is detachably connected by side panels 6, cross panels 7, and a bottom plate 8. The bottom carriage 1 has three connecting columns 10 fixedly connected at intervals to the top of both sides and the top of the side panels 6. The bottom of the side panels 6 has connecting holes 11 of the same number and size as the connecting columns 10, which are inserted into the connecting columns 10. The inner sides of the first and last ends of the side panels 6 have slots 14. The two ends of the cross panels 7 are fixedly connected to locking blocks 13 that match the slots 14, which slide into the slots 14. The lower inner sides of the side panels 6 and the cross panels 7 are fixedly connected to supporting bosses 9. The bottom plate 8 is placed on the supporting bosses 9. The bottom plate 8 has gripping holes for grabs. When connecting and installing the assembly carriage, the side panels 6 are installed first, then the cross panels 7, and finally the bottom plate 8. To ensure that the components of the assembly carriage can be carried with the vehicle, the bottom carriage 1 has fixedly connected placement slots 5 on both sides for placing the side panels 6, cross panels 7, and bottom plate 8, preferably for holding the components of 3-4 layers of assembly carriages.
[0024] To ensure ventilation of vegetables during harvesting, several ventilation holes 12 are provided at the front and rear of the bottom compartment 1, as well as on the side panels 6 and cross panels 7. A protective layer is fixedly connected to the inner walls of the bottom compartment 1, side panels 6, cross panels 7, and the upper and lower surfaces of the bottom plate 8. The protective layer also has through holes corresponding to the ventilation holes 12. The protective layer can be made of sponge or foam.
[0025] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0026] When harvesting vegetables, the transfer cart is pushed into the harvesting area, with the wheels positioned on both sides of the planting row so that the cart spans over the seedlings. Vegetables are then harvested and placed in the bottom compartment 1. Once the bottom compartment 1 is full, a set of side panels 6, horizontal panels 7, and bottom panels 8 placed in the placement slot 5 are removed and installed to form an assembly compartment. Harvesting continues until the assembly compartment is full, and then the next set of side panels 6, horizontal panels 7, and bottom panels 8 are removed and assembled to form another assembly compartment. This allows for multi-layer placement of vegetables, reducing the breakage rate during the harvesting and turnover process.
[0027] Example 2:
[0028] like Figure 2 , 4 The illustrated vegetable picking and transport vehicle differs from Embodiment 1 in that: in this embodiment, considering the problem of vegetable damage caused by the bumps of the vehicle during movement, shock absorbers 15 are bolted to both ends of the lower side of the bottom carriage 1. The lower end of the shock absorber 15 is bolted to a bearing seat 16, and the bearing seat 16 is rotatably connected to a wheel axle through a bearing. The outer end of the wheel axle is fixedly connected to a moving wheel 3.
[0029] The difference between the working principle of this embodiment and that of Embodiment 1 is as follows:
[0030] In this embodiment, when the turnover vehicle moves, the shock absorber 15 can play a role in reducing the vibration and bumps of the vehicle body.
