Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of integrated palm fruit transportation, harvesting and collection vehicles, and in particular to a tracked integrated palm fruit transportation, harvesting and collection vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Palm fruit, an important economic crop, is widely cultivated in tropical regions, and its fruit is the core raw material for palm oil production. Palm trees typically grow to over ten meters tall, with fruits growing in clusters at the top of the canopy. The efficiency of harvesting, collecting, and transporting these fruits directly affects the production efficiency of palm oil.

[0003] However, existing palm fruit harvesting methods have significant drawbacks. Currently, most plantations still rely on manual harvesting from heights. Workers need to use ladders, climb tree trunks, or use simple climbing tools to reach the canopy and manually cut the fruit clusters with knives. This method is not only labor-intensive, but also prone to accidents such as falls due to unstable tools or physical exhaustion, making it extremely unsafe. Utility Model Content

[0019] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The present invention will be further described below.

[0020] To address the problems existing in the background technology, this application proposes the following technical solution: a tracked palm fruit transport, harvesting and collection integrated vehicle, including a frame 1, a tracked walking mechanism 2 installed at the bottom of the frame 1 (the tracked walking mechanism 2 is existing technology, similar to the track structure at the bottom of an excavator), a cab 3 fixedly installed at the top of the frame 1, a second adjusting arm 13 hinged to the top of the frame 1, a first adjusting arm 10 hinged to the top of the second adjusting arm 13, a fourth hydraulic cylinder 12 hinged to the frame 1, the output end of the fourth hydraulic cylinder 12 hinged to the second adjusting arm 13, a third hydraulic cylinder 11 hinged to the outside of the second adjusting arm 13, the output end of the third hydraulic cylinder 11 hinged to the first adjusting arm 10, and a cutting component installed at one end of the first adjusting arm 10; the frame 1 serves as the basic framework of the entire equipment, providing a stable mounting platform for each component and ensuring that each part can work in coordination during operation. Compared to traditional wheeled walking structures, the tracked walking mechanism 2 at the bottom is better able to adapt to the complex terrain of palm plantations. Whether on muddy ground or uneven surfaces, it maintains stable movement, avoiding getting stuck or slipping, ensuring the equipment can smoothly reach the palm trees for operation. The cab 3 provides a safe and comfortable operating space for the operator, who can clearly observe the harvesting process and control the movements of various components through the control devices. The second adjusting arm 13 and the first adjusting arm 10, hinged at the top of the frame 1, work together to flexibly adjust their length and angle, thereby driving the cutting component to reach palm fruits at different heights and positions.

[0021] The fourth hydraulic cylinder 12 connects the frame 1 and the second adjusting arm 13. Its extension and retraction change the angle of the second adjusting arm 13, thereby adjusting the overall working height. The third hydraulic cylinder 11 connects the second adjusting arm 13 and the first adjusting arm 10. Its extension and retraction adjust the angle of the first adjusting arm 10, allowing the cutting assembly to more accurately align with the palm fruit. This multi-joint adjustment structure allows the equipment to adapt to palm trees of different heights, greatly improving the flexibility and applicability of harvesting. The cutting assembly is responsible for cutting the palm fruit from the tree and is the core component for achieving the harvesting function.

[0022] In this embodiment, an adjusting frame 14 is hinged to one end of the first adjusting arm 10, and a fifth hydraulic cylinder 15 is hinged to the outside of the first adjusting arm 10. The output end of the fifth hydraulic cylinder 15 is hinged to the adjusting frame 14, and a support frame 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting frame 14. The cutting assembly includes a motor 18 and a cutting blade 17. The motor 18 is fixedly connected to the outside of the support frame 16, and the cutting blade is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 18. The adjusting frame 14 at the end of the first adjusting arm 10 is connected to the first adjusting arm 10 through a hinge structure, enabling it to rotate at its own angle. The fifth hydraulic cylinder 15 provides power for the angle adjustment of the adjusting frame 14. Through the extension and retraction of the fifth hydraulic cylinder 15, the adjusting frame 14 can drive the cutting assembly to make more precise angle adjustments, ensuring that the cutting blade 17 can be aligned with the root of the palm fruit at the most suitable angle, improving the accuracy and efficiency of cutting, and reducing the possibility of incomplete cutting or damage to the palm tree due to improper angle.

[0023] The support frame 16 at the top of the adjusting frame 14 is used to fix the cutting assembly, ensuring that the motor 18 and the cutting blade 17 do not shake during operation, thus enhancing the stability of the cutting assembly. The motor 18, as the power source for the cutting blade 17, drives it to rotate at high speed, thereby quickly cutting off the base of the palm fruit. The sharp design of the cutting blade 17 ensures a smooth cutting process, reducing pressure and damage to the palm fruit and ensuring the integrity of the harvested fruit. This structural design makes the cutting action more precise and efficient, further improving the quality of the harvesting operation.

[0024] In this embodiment, the frame 1 is also equipped with a collection frame 7. A guide plate 8 is hinged to the top of the collection frame 7, and a second hydraulic cylinder 9 is hinged to the outside of the collection frame 7. The output end of the second hydraulic cylinder 9 is hinged to the guide plate 8, and side plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the guide plate 8. The collection frame 7 on the frame 1 is a container for storing the harvested palm fruits. Its capacity design can meet a certain amount of harvesting needs, reducing the number of times fruits are frequently dumped and improving work efficiency. The guide plate 8 at the top of the collection frame 7 guides the palm fruits into the collection frame 7. When the cut palm fruits fall, they will land on the guide plate 8 and then slide along the guide plate 8 into the collection frame 7, avoiding the palm fruits falling to the ground and causing loss or contamination.

[0025] The second hydraulic cylinder 9 connects the collection frame 7 and the guide plate 8. Its extension and retraction adjust the angle of the guide plate 8, allowing operators to adjust its tilt based on the palm tree's location and harvesting height, ensuring the palm fruits slide smoothly into the collection frame 7. The side plates on both sides of the guide plate 8 prevent palm fruits from falling off during the descent, further improving collection efficiency and integrity. This well-designed collection structure can work in conjunction with the cutting components to form a complete harvesting-collection process, reducing manual intervention and increasing the overall automation level of the operation.

[0026] In this embodiment, a first connecting rod 4 and a second connecting rod 6 are hinged to each other between the collection frame 7 and the frame 1, forming a scissor-like structure. One end of the first connecting rod 4 is hinged to the frame 1, and one end of the second connecting rod 6 is hinged to the collection frame 7. Slide rails are fixedly connected to the bottom of the collection frame 7 and the top of the frame 1, and sliders are slidably connected in the slide rails. The first connecting rod 4 is hinged to the slider at the bottom of the collection frame 7, and the second connecting rod 6 is hinged to the slider at the top of the frame 1. A first hydraulic cylinder 5 is hinged to the frame 1, and the output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 5 is hinged to the first connecting rod 4. The first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 6 form a scissor-like lifting mechanism. The scissor-like lifting mechanism is prior art. The positions of the slide rails and sliders are not marked in the figure, but those skilled in the art can understand it based on the description. The scissor-like structure formed by the first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 6 between the collection frame 7 and the frame 1 is the key to realizing the height adjustment of the collection frame 7. This structure features good stability and strong load-bearing capacity, ensuring the stability of the collection frame 7 while adjusting its height, thus preventing the palm fruits inside from falling due to shaking.

[0027] The slide rails at the bottom of the collection frame 7 and the top of the frame 1 cooperate with the slider to guide the expansion and contraction of the scissor-type structure, ensuring that the first link 4 and the second link 6 can move smoothly to achieve the lifting and lowering of the collection frame 7. The first hydraulic cylinder 5 connects the frame 1 and the first link 4, and drives the first link 4 to rotate by extending and retracting, thereby driving the scissor-type structure to expand or contract, realizing the height adjustment of the collection frame 7.

[0028] When it is necessary to transfer the palm fruits in the collection box 7 to the transport vehicle, raising the height of the collection box 7 makes it easier to pour the fruits into the transport vehicle, reducing the labor intensity of manual handling. During harvesting operations, lowering the height of the collection box 7 allows the guide plate 8 to better catch the falling palm fruits. This height-adjustable design enhances the practicality of the equipment, making the collection and transfer process more convenient and efficient.

[0029] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows:

[0030] The machine frame 1 is moved by the track walking, and the height and angle of the first adjusting arm 10 and the second adjusting arm 13 can be adjusted by activating the third hydraulic cylinder 11 and the fourth hydraulic cylinder 12, so that the cutting blade 17 corresponds to the palm fruit.

[0031] Subsequently, the fifth hydraulic cylinder 15 is activated to further adjust the angle of the adjusting frame 14, thereby adjusting the angle of the cutting blade 17.

[0032] The motor 18 drives the cutting blade 17 to rotate, so that the root of the palm fruit can be cut by the cutting blade 17, allowing the palm fruit to fall onto the guide plate 8 and finally be collected in the collection box 7.

[0033] The first hydraulic cylinder 5 drives the first connecting rod 4 to work, and through the cooperation of the first connecting rod 4 and the second connecting rod 6, the height of the collection frame 7 can be adjusted.

[0034] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
