Description

A pre-processing mechanism for garlic harvesters Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically to a pre-treatment mechanism for a garlic harvester. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional garlic harvesting methods are often labor-intensive, inefficient, and fail to guarantee harvest quality. While some garlic harvesters exist on the market, most are single-function and cannot adequately meet actual production needs. Especially in complex terrains with varying elevations, existing harvesters are inadequate in adapting to different terrains and achieving efficient harvesting. Furthermore, harvested garlic often carries a large amount of soil, requiring subsequent soil removal, increasing later labor and time costs. To address these issues, there is an urgent need for a garlic harvester capable of adapting to terrain with elevation differences and possessing pre-processing capabilities. Summary of the Invention

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly attached to the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component.

[0026] For ease of explanation, spatial relative terms such as “up,” “down,” “left,” and “right” may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element or feature shown in the figure relative to another element or feature. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientation shown in the figure, spatial terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figure is inverted, an element described as being “down” of other elements or features would be positioned “up” of those other elements or features. Therefore, the exemplary term “down” can encompass both up and down orientations.

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0029] I. Overall Structure of the Garlic Harvester Pre-processing Mechanism:

[0030] A pre-processing mechanism for a garlic harvester includes a support base 3 and a traveling mechanism 1. A base frame 2 is mounted on the traveling mechanism 1. One end of the support base 3 is hinged to one end of the base frame 2 via a support arm 4. A hydraulic cylinder 6 is hinged to the other end of the base frame 2. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 6 is hinged to the other end of the support base 3.

[0031] The support base 3 is equipped with a control panel and an engine 8 for controlling equipment operation and providing power. A transverse conveyor 10 is provided at the front end of the support base 3 for receiving and transporting harvested garlic, and an inclined conveyor 11 is provided at the side end of the support base 3 to transport garlic from a lower position to the soil removal bin 12.

[0032] The support base 3 is equipped with a tilt sensor, which can detect the tilt of the equipment in real time. When the equipment is operating on uneven terrain, the tilt sensor transmits the detected tilt information to the control system. The control system adjusts the angle of the support base 3 by controlling the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder 6, so that the equipment remains level, improving the working efficiency and comfort.

[0033] The support base 3 has a front bracket 9 at its front end, and the transverse conveyor 10 is mounted on the front bracket 9. In practical applications, the garlic harvesting mechanism is mounted on the front bracket 9. One end of the base frame 2 is provided with a fixed shaft 5, and the support arm 4 is provided with a shaft hole that mates with the fixed shaft 5. The hinged connection between the support base 3 and the base frame 2 is achieved through the mating of the shaft hole and the fixed shaft 5.

[0034] The two ends of the hydraulic cylinder 6 are connected to the base frame 2 and the support base 3 respectively through a hinge shaft and a connecting block, ensuring that the hydraulic cylinder 6 can flexibly adjust the angle of the support base 3.

[0035] II. Structure and Function of Soil Removal Mechanism

[0036] The discharge end of the inclined conveyor belt is equipped with a soil removal bin 12, and a soil removal shaft 13 is rotatably mounted inside the soil removal bin 12. Connecting rods 14 are arranged in a circumferential array on the soil removal shaft 13. A double sprocket is provided at one end of the soil removal shaft 13, and the double sprockets on two adjacent soil removal shafts 13 are connected by a first chain 15. A drive sprocket 17 is provided on the soil removal bin 12. The drive sprocket 17 is connected to the engine 8 through a drive shaft 18. The drive sprocket 17 is connected to the double sprockets of the soil removal shafts 13 located at the end through a second chain 16, thereby providing power to each soil removal shaft 13. When the equipment is running, the engine 8 drives the drive sprocket 17 to rotate through the drive shaft 18, which in turn drives all the soil removal shafts 13 to rotate synchronously through the second chain 16 and the first chain 15. After the garlic is conveyed from the inclined conveyor 11 to the desoiling bin 12, the rotating desoiling shaft 13 moves the garlic to discharge it. During the movement, the garlic continuously falls onto the connecting rod 14, causing the soil on the garlic to be shaken off. At the same time, the rotation of the desoiling shaft 13 also beats the garlic, thus removing the soil. The bottom of the desoiling bin 12 is equipped with an inclined guide plate. The dislodged soil is discharged along the guide plate under the action of gravity, realizing the pre-treatment of soil removal for the garlic and reducing subsequent labor costs.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of the present invention.
