Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soil-building equipment technology, and in particular to a distributed power electric sugarcane soil-building machine. Background Technology

[0002] Sugarcane is an important economic crop in major sugarcane-growing areas such as Guangxi and Yunnan in my country, where the planting areas are mostly hilly and mountainous with complex terrain. Hilling is a crucial step in sugarcane growth management, effectively preventing lodging and promoting root development. Currently, most widely used small hilling machines are either manually operated or towed, which have significant drawbacks: manually operated hilling machines require two people to operate, resulting in high labor intensity, low efficiency, and safety hazards due to close contact between humans and machines; towed hilling machines are effective for initial hilling, but during second and third hilling, the uneven and formed ridge surface makes the towed equipment prone to veer, leading to uneven hilling and poor quality. Existing technology lacks an intelligent hilling device that can automatically align rows, move smoothly across furrows, and simultaneously and efficiently complete double-ridge operations.

[0020] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a distributed power electric sugarcane ridging machine, comprising: Frame 1 is a gantry-type symmetrical structure with a height of 1500mm, which will not affect the sugarcane during the second and third replanting. A pair of tracked walking devices 4 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the bottom of the frame 1; The visual navigation module 11 is located on the top front side of the frame 1 and is used to collect ridge line information and correct the direction of travel. A pair of soil-laying mechanisms 2 are respectively installed behind a pair of tracked walking devices 4 via height adjustment mechanisms 3. The height adjustment mechanisms 3 can adjust the height of the soil-laying mechanisms 2 from the ground. The control module, located at the bottom of rack 1, is used to receive control signals and control the operation of the entire machine; The power module, located at the bottom of the frame 1, provides power to the tracked walking device 4, the soil-laying mechanism 2, and the height adjustment mechanism 3.

[0023] The gantry-style symmetrical frame 1, along with a pair of tracked walking devices 4 and a pair of ridging mechanisms 2, enables efficient and stable double-ridge operation. The front-mounted visual navigation module 11 allows for the earliest possible detection of the path ahead, ensuring real-time and accurate navigation. The height adjustment mechanism 3 allows the machine to adapt to different ridging stages, such as the varying depth requirements for initial and secondary / tertiary ridging, demonstrating strong versatility. The distributed layout of the modules on the frame 1 results in a compact structure and a reasonable center of gravity, ensuring the machine's stability and maneuverability in hilly and mountainous terrain.

[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, the frame 1 includes two sets of vertical beams 16, a front crossbeam 12 disposed between the two sets of vertical beams 16, and track protective covers 14 disposed at the bottom of the two sets of vertical beams 16 respectively.

[0025] The front crossbeam 12 provides a stable mounting platform for the visual navigation module 11, reducing image blurring caused by vibration. The track guard 14 effectively prevents mud and weeds from getting into the track drive system, reducing the failure rate and extending the service life of the equipment, making it especially suitable for working in muddy sugarcane fields.

[0026] In one embodiment of this utility model, the tracked walking device 4 includes: The load-bearing longitudinal beam 42, equipped with tracks, is used to support the weight of the frame 1 and transmit the walking power to the ground; The first motor 43 is mounted on the load-bearing longitudinal beam 42 and drives the tracks to rotate through the transmission system.

[0027] The tracked walking mechanism has a low ground pressure and is not easy to sink, making it particularly suitable for soft sugarcane fields. The first motor 43 is directly mounted on the load-bearing longitudinal beam 42, realizing a distributed power layout and short-distance transmission, reducing unnecessary power loss, and making the structure compact and easy to maintain.

[0028] Furthermore, the load-bearing longitudinal beam 42 is provided with two sets of mounting cams 41 for connecting to the track protective cover 14.

[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, the visual navigation module 11 includes: High-definition cameras are used to collect real-time image information of sugarcane rows; The image processing unit receives and analyzes images captured by the high-definition camera and generates path correction instructions. The wireless communication unit transmits correction instructions to the control module to adjust the direction of travel.

[0030] A high-definition camera ensures clear capture of ridge line features. An independent image processing unit enables edge computing, reducing the burden on the main control module and improving system response speed. A wireless communication unit guarantees stable and real-time command transmission, ultimately achieving high-precision automatic row alignment for the ridging machine, resulting in excellent straightness during ridging.

[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, the height adjustment mechanism 3 includes: A push rod motor 31 is installed at the rear of the frame 1 and adjusts the height of the soil-laying mechanism 2 by telescopic movement; The connecting component connects the push rod motor 31 and the soil-laying mechanism 2 to realize the power transmission of the push rod motor 31.

[0032] Using a push rod motor 31 as the actuator, the system offers precise control and excellent self-locking performance, reliably maintaining the soil-laying mechanism 2 at the set height. The entire adjustment process can be controlled by a single button on a remote control, eliminating the need for manual adjustment by operators and greatly improving operational convenience and safety. This achieves precise, electrically controlled adjustment of the soil-laying depth.

[0033] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes a pair of connecting shafts 26 and a mounting bracket 27 arranged in a triangular pattern on the protective plate 25. The connecting shafts 26 are rotatably connected to a lower connecting rod 34 via a bushing 33. The lower connecting rod 34 is rotatably connected to a mounting cam 41 on the load-bearing longitudinal beam 42 via a bushing 33. The mounting bracket 27 is rotatably connected to an upper connecting rod 32 via a bushing 33. The upper connecting rod 32 is connected to the output shaft of the push rod motor 31.

[0034] When the push rod motor 31 drives the push rod to move forward or backward, it pushes the upper connecting rod 32 to move forward or backward. At this time, the bushing 33 connected to the connecting shaft 26 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise around the connecting shaft 26, thereby realizing the lowering and raising of the soil-laying mechanism.

[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, the soil-raising mechanism 2 includes: The protective plate 25 is connected to the height adjustment mechanism 3; The soil-turning structure 24 is installed on the protective plate 25; The second motor 21 transmits power to the soil-turning structure 24 through the transmission structure 22; The mounding structure 23 is installed on the protective plate 25 and located behind the soil turning structure 24. The mounding structure 23 pushes the soil to both sides of the sugarcane ridge and piles it up.

[0036] The protective plate 25 provides support and protection, preventing soil from splashing. The combination of the soil-turning structure 24 and the mounding structure 23 involves the soil-turning structure 24 first breaking up and crushing the soil, and then the mounding structure 23 guiding the loosened soil to cover the sugarcane roots. The process is continuous, resulting in a full and uniform mounding effect. An independent second motor 21 is used for driving, with independently controllable power. The turning force can be adjusted in real time according to soil resistance to optimize energy consumption.

[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, the soil-turning structure 24 includes: The first drive shaft 227 is rotatably connected to the protective plate 25; Multiple sets of rotary tillage blades 241 are fixedly installed on the first drive shaft 227. Five sets of rotary tillage blades 241 are set in the middle area. Each set consists of two vertically intersecting blades. A set of rotary tillage blades 241 is set at each end. Each set contains one blade and is arranged perpendicular to the middle blade.

[0038] The unique 241 rotary tiller blade layout design ensures dense blades and strong cutting power in the middle area, effectively breaking up compacted soil in the center of the furrows; the vertical blades at both ends help to trim the ridge walls and gather soil inwards. This design guarantees a neat ridge shape and finely broken soil after hilling, creating an excellent soil environment for sugarcane growth.

[0039] Furthermore, the rotary tiller blade 241 has a blade length of 180mm and a width of 58.5mm. The installation spacing of each set of rotary tiller blades 241 is 117mm, which can effectively turn the soil up to a width of 700mm, meeting the soil-laying requirements of sugarcane fields with a ridge width of 1500mm.

[0040] In one embodiment of this utility model, the transmission structure 22 includes: The second drive shaft 223 is rotatably connected to the protective plate 25; The first bevel gear 221 and the second bevel gear 222 mesh with each other. The first bevel gear 221 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 21, and the second bevel gear 222 is fixedly connected to the second transmission shaft 223. The first spur gear 224 and the second spur gear 226 are driven by the chain 225. The first spur gear 224 is fixedly connected to the second drive shaft 223, and the second spur gear 226 is fixedly connected to the first drive shaft 227.

[0041] This transmission structure 22 comprehensively utilizes the advantages of the first bevel gear 221 and the second bevel gear 222 in changing the transmission direction and the chain 225 in transmitting power from a distance between centers. The structure is compact and successfully and efficiently transmits the power of the second motor 21 to the soil-turning structure 24. The combination of the first spur gear 224 and the second spur gear 226 with the chain 225 transmission balances transmission smoothness and torque capacity, making it suitable for impact loads in soil-turning operations.

[0042] In one embodiment of this utility model, the second motor 21 is disposed in the middle of the protective plate 25.

[0043] Setting the second motor 21 in the protective plate 25, which is located in the middle of the entire soil-laying mechanism 2, can optimize the distribution of the machine's center of gravity, prevent the soil-laying machine from tilting during movement due to excessive weight on one side, ensure the consistency of soil-laying depth on both sides, and also improve the stability of machine operation.

[0044] In one embodiment of this utility model, a remote control operation module is further included, comprising: A handheld wireless remote control used to send various control commands; The receiving unit, integrated within the control module, is responsible for receiving and parsing the commands sent by the remote control.

[0045] Furthermore, the types of control commands that the remote control module can send include, but are not limited to: Travel control commands are used to control the forward, backward, turning, and speed adjustment of the soil-cultivating machine; The height adjustment command precisely controls the raising and lowering of the soil-laying mechanism to adapt to different operational needs; The mode switching command is used to switch between manual remote control mode and automatic visual navigation mode.

[0046] Furthermore, the power module includes: A high-performance battery pack, installed in a dedicated battery box 15 at the bottom of the rack 1, provides continuous power to the entire unit; The motor controller connects to the high-performance battery pack and various drive components, and adjusts the motor output according to control commands.

[0047] Furthermore, the control module includes: The industrial computer is installed in the control cabinet 13 at the bottom of the rack 1, and serves as the core processing unit to execute control logic and algorithms. The wireless receiving module connects to the industrial computer and receives control signals from the remote controller, the visual navigation module 11, and the motor controller.

[0048] Instructions for use: Press the power switch to power the controller. The wireless remote control module is activated, allowing the machine to move and perform its tasks. Pressing the visual navigation button on the remote turns off the wireless module, and the visual navigation module 11 begins operation. This module corrects the machine's deviation, enabling automatic ridge-following movement. The push rod motor 31, controlled by the remote, raises or lowers the ridge-following mechanism 2 via its extension and retraction. Once the ridge-following mechanism 2 has descended to the appropriate position, the first motor 43, which powers the tracked walking device 4, and the second motor 21, which powers the soil-turning structure 24, begin operation. The tracked walking device 4 pulls the ridge-following mechanism forward, the soil-turning structure 24 loosens the soil, and the mounding structure 23 pushes the loosened soil to both sides of the sugarcane ridge, thus completing the ridge-following operation.
