Substrate auto-paver for table-top culture

Abstract

The invention presents technology for elevated cultivation comprising an automatic paver and man-machine collaboration matrix control method in the field of agricultural equipment. The substrate auto-paver for the table-top culture machine is mainly composed of a moving car, a matrix and a matrix-packing mechanism, the substrate material in the cabinet, an evenly paving mechanism that realizes double-sided blanking, and a remote control. The manual push-pull arm is employed to ensure that the return wheel touches the ground, using the matrix agencies to van automatically. The remote control is used to move the car into the elevated inter-row cultivation bed, and then, the double-sided blanking and evenly paving mechanism is automatically activated until the track wheel falls into the slot on the skeleton. By means of the bending type of chain transmission mechanism, the soilless culture substrates are automatically conveyed owing to the bilateral symmetry of blanking trough. A moving trolley drives the stirring device along the elevated bed. Thus, an evenly mixed matrix is obtained for cultivation in the tank. A rubber band, which is fixed on the back board of the stirring device, makes the matrix flat and level. The challenges of substrate packing, transportation, and mobile paving are being solved through collaboration between many institutions and by means of some artificial automatic intervention, which can help realize good adaptability and convenient handling.

The Concrete Implementation Method

(14) FIG. 1 shows the structure characteristics of the elevated cultivation bed suitable for the automatic spreading machine and the man-machine collaboration control method of elevated cultivation, which are suitable for elevated cultivation, are as follows: On both sides of the elevated cultivation bed with horizontal and parallel grooves along frame 1, the distance between the two sides of the groove is W, and culture groove 2 is arranged between the two sides of the groove along frame 1.

(15) FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 show that the substrate auto-paver for the table-top culture machine has the mobile trolley 3, automatic packing device, inclined-type matrix box (6), box-bending-type feeding device, floating support-type bilateral blanking device, and rack profile discharging device for walking. The matrix box 6 is installed on the top of the mobile trolley 3. The automatic oblique pulling-type substrate-packing device is installed at the back of the matrix box 6. The bending scraper feeder 26 is installed in the matrix box 6. The floating support-type double-side blanking device is set in front of the matrix box 6, and the bottom side outlets of the floating-support double-blanking device are installed on the walking frame discharging device profile. The matrix box 6, automatic packing device, moving car 3, the bending-type feeding device, floating support-type bilateral feeding device and rack walking discharging device profile are all symmetrically set along the same central line. Depending on these devices, the sequence number to achieve elevated paving loading, transporting, feeding, blanking, and flattening of multi-link operations is determined.

(16) FIG. 3 shows that the automatic inclined-type packing device comprises a scraper conveyor 4, an additional scraper conveyor 15, a shaft axis 19, a short pin 20 and connecting rod 21, a port 22, a contact switch 23, and a lap 24. The scraper conveyor is set at the lower end of the scraper conveyor 4. The short axis 19 is horizontally fixed on the outer side of the matrix box 6, and is set higher than the upper opening of the matrix box 6. The scraper conveyor 4 is parallel to the short axis 19. The long groove 18 opens in the conveying direction of the upper part of the side wall of the scraper conveyor 4 on the axis 19 through the long groove 18 and through sliding groove 18. The axis 19 can slide into the groove 18.

(17) One end of the connecting rod is hinged at the rear outer side of the matrix box 6, and the short pin 20 is set in the middle of the connecting rod. The extended end of the connecting rod is arranged at notch 17. In the middle of the side wall of the scraper, conveyor 4 opens into a short slot 16 in the conveying direction of 4, and the short pin 20 extends into the through groove 16 and can slide into the through groove 16.

(18) The spring hook 15 is arranged below the short slot 16, and the spring hook 15 can be manually hung into the extended end notch 18 of the connecting rod 21.

(19) The lap 24 is fixed on the side wall below the scraper conveyor 4. The opening 22 is fixed to the lower outer wall of the matrix box 6. A contact switch is installed in the opening 22 of the building 23. By means of a manually propelled scraper conveyor 4, the lap 24 can be linked into and out of the port 22 and can trigger the contact switch 23 to open or close to realize the control of the staring and stopping of the scraper conveyor drive.

(20) As shown in FIG. 4, the high pair mechanism of the automatic oblique pulling-type substrate packing device is composed of the scraper conveyor 4, a short pin 20, a connecting rod 21, and the matrix box 6 in which the short pin 20 and short pass through 16 constitute a high two-degree-of-freedom pair. The parts 19 and 18 form a high side with two degrees of freedom.

(21) The connecting rod 21 and the outer side of the rear lateral of the matrix box 1 is a pair with a low degree of freedom. The planar high-pair mechanism has one degree of freedom. By pushing the scraper conveyor, the short pin 20 can be made to slide into the short groove 16, and the 19 axis can slide into the long groove 18. Thus, we can realize the charging station and reset stop station of scraper conveyor 4.

(22) The elevated matrix paving loading operation process proceeds as follows:

(23) (1) The artificial push scraper conveyor 4 from the first lap the contact switch 23 is closed, and the driving device starts to work and drives the scraper conveyor 4;

(24) (2) The mechanism 4 is pulled until the wheel 14 touches the ground;

(25) (3) The spring hook 15 is then hung into the long groove 18 of the connecting rod 21 to prevent charging when the scraper conveyor 4 retracts;

(26) (4) The mobile car 3 carries scraper conveyor 4 moves toward the matrix 6, and the automatic scraper conveyor 4 will transport the matrix into the matrix box 6;

(27) (5) Until the matrix box is filled, the artificial spring hook 15 is removed, and the scraper conveyor 4 is pulled to the reset stop position; the lap 24 is set into the port 22, triggering the contact switch 23 back to the off state, and thus, the driving device finally stops.

(28) FIG. 5 shows that the bending-type feeding device comprises a bending scraper feeder 26, a dc motor 12, and a thin tension wheel 25. The two symmetrical thin tension wheels 25 are horizontally mounted on the sidewall of the matrix box 6, and the tension wheel 25 is installed on the upper part of the bending scraper feeder 26.

(29) FIG. 6 shows that the bending scraper feeder 26 comprises the lower part 32 and the upper part 33. Here, 32 is a horizontal feeder. Further, the angle of the upper part of the feeder 33 is . The dynamic accumulation angle of the matrix is less than .sub.1, and the static accumulation angle of the alpha is less than .sub.0. In the mixed matrix, as an example, the dynamic and static accumulation angle .sub.1 and angle .sub.0 are 45 and 64, 4564. At the same time, the fillet radius r is more than half the size of the minimum bending radius r.sub.0 for transmission.

(30) When charging, the automatic packing device matrix inclined-type scraper conveyor 4 transports the matrix obliquely into the matrix box in the lower half of the feeder 32 and in the upper part of the upper feeder 33. Owing to the dynamic angle a that exceeds the accumulation of the matrix angle .sub.1, the first half of the matrix in feeder 33 falls into the feeder 32, effectively mitigating the loading phenomenon of arch pile.

(31) During feeding operation, the motor 12 drives the bending-type feeding device in the box 26 to transport the matrix to an oblique and higher position. From FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, it is seen that V0-based quality of the feeder scraper 34 is determined by the static dynamic matrix stacking angle .sub.1matrix stacking angle .sub.0.

(32) $\begin{array}{cc}\mathrm{Large}\mathrm{angle}\mathrm{difference}:V_0\frac{1}{2}{B}_1{H}_1^2.Math.\cot \left({}_0-{}_1\right),\left(B_1.Math.\cot \left({}_0-{}_1\right)L_1\right)& \left(1\right)\\ \mathrm{Small}\mathrm{angle}\mathrm{difference}:L_1{H}_1{B}_1-\frac{L_1^2{B}_1}{2\cot \left({}_0-{}_1\right)}{V}_0{L}_1{H}_1{B}_1,\left(B.Math.\cot \left({}_0-{}_1\right)>L_1\right)& \left(2\right)\end{array}$

(33) In the formula, H1 is the height of the feeder scraper (34), and B1 is its width; L1 is the distance between two adjacent scraper feeders (34).

(34) Every feeder scraper 34 meets the quality requirements for V0, which is based on formula (1) and (2), to ensure the quality of the bending scraper feeder 26.

(35) At the same time, because the matrix in box 6 accumulates above the bending scraper feeder 26, the digging phenomenon can be avoided in the feeding process.

(36) FIG. 2, shows that the floating-support double-side blanking device consists of a matrix box 6, floating chute 7, push plate 8, flat 9, straight-moving element 10, installation plate 11, vertical slide 28, and horizontal slide rail structure 29.

(37) From FIG. 2, FIG. 9, and FIG. 10, it is seen that the front of the matrix box 6 has two left and right symmetrical inclined troughs 35, with an angle 1 that is higher than the dynamic stacking angle of the matrix 1. Plate 27 that medially passes along the vertical center line of the chute 35 has a symmetric distribution. Two floating troughs 7 are fixed by levels vertical slide rail and car 28 and 29, and they are symmetrically arranged in front of the lateral matrix box 6. Further, 2 of the floating drop trough 7 is equal to the dip angle of the inclined chute 35. On the bottom of the floating chute is inclined to the lower part of the chute 35. The floating chute 7 is fixed on the side wall of the level of the push plate 8 and straight-moving element 10 along the center line of the vertical mounting plate installed outside the front of the matrix box 6 of the 11 box matrix, direct action element 10, and terminal installation level flat 9.

(38) In FIG. 2, it is seen that the uniform discharging device is mainly composed of 5 and 13, and a mixing mechanism 13 has a support member 30, a bearing 31, a transmission shaft 36, a tight elastic sleeve 37, and a uniform paving 38. An elastic scraper 5 is installed at the lower part of the bottom opening of each floating material groove 7. The supporting piece 30 is fixed on the lower opening of the floating blanking groove 7, and the transmission shaft 36 is horizontally set on the supporting part through a bearing 31 level. From FIG. 11, it is seen that the drive shaft 36 is fixed around two pieces of the uniform shop 38, in 31 and 38 with a uniform bearing mounted between two thick elastic sleeves 37 from the center of W3. The elevated cultivation bed on both sides of the groove lie along the skeleton 1 and extend a distance W. The surface 38 of the uniform paving parts are uniformly distributed on the scraper 39.

(39) In the matrix material, blanking and smoothing action synchronization is performed before the direct action of elements 10 and 9 rise flat end. Further, through the 28 level, the vertical slide rail 29 and by the slide effect, and by means of the push plate 8, two floating troughs 7 are moved along the inclined chute 35 obliquely. When the device enters the elevated cultivation bed aisle, the direct action elements 10 and 9 decline flat end. The two floating falling troughs 35 fall down to the drop 7 of the chute, and the elastic sleeve 37 falls down to the side groove along the frame 1. Mobile car 3 moves forward at uniform speed V along the aisle, as the scraper conveyor 4 and matrix box 6 move the matrix obliquely upward.

(40) Because of the angle 1 and 2 exceed .sub.1, the plate matrix can fall on both sides of the inclined chute 35. The substrate is then dropped into a floating drop chute 7 and then onto the 38. The part 37 is rolled along the frame 1, and it drives the rotation of 38. The substrate is arranged into the cultivation groove 2 of the elevated cultivation bed. Then, the elastic scraper 5 scrapes the matrix in the groove.

(41) When the elevated cultivation bed groove along the skeleton 1 has floating ups and downs, the vertical slide 28 causes vertical floating of trough 7. Errors may arise in the distance between the slots along the skeleton 1 and in the thick elastic sleeve 27. The horizontal slide 29 can cause the slide chute 7 level to float.

(42) Always ensure the tight elastic sleeve 37 and the groove along the frame 1 roll well. Slide 29 can make cause horizontal floating of the trough 7 to ensure that the tight elastic sleeve 37 in the groove along the frame 1 rolls well. In order to ensure the horizontal floating of the trough 7, the opening of the lower part of the chute 35 has a transverse width W1 and a transverse space between the horizontal width of the upper opening of the floating trough 7 and a transverse width W2. The gap shall be not less than the maximum error of the distance between the W maximum error and the distance between the sides of the elevated cultivation bed 1:
W.sub.2W.sub.1+max(.sub.1,.sub.2)(3)

(43) In the formula, .sub.1 is the maximum error in the distance W groove along 1 of the skeleton; .sub.2 is the maximum error of the distance between both sides of the elevated cultivation bed.

(44) To realize the synchronous operation of feeding, blanking, and spreading, the upper material, blanking, and spreading rate of the substrate should be consistent. In addition, the amount of material in the unit time should be able to fill the cultivation trough 2:
Q=S.Math.v(4)

(45) In the formula, S is the cutting area of the cultivation trough 2, as shown in FIG. 12:
S=(W/4).sup.2(5)

(46) In the formula, the velocity matrix unit time depends on the amount of transport medium quality V0 of each feeder scraper 34 and scraper conveyor 4:

(47) $\begin{array}{cc}Q=\frac{V_0.Math.v_1}{L_1}& \left(6\right)\end{array}$

(48) Formula (4) to (6) indicate that in order to achieve the material blanking and spreading and all aspects of the synchronous coordination, the ratio relationship between the moving speed V of the mobile car 3 and scraper conveyor V1 should be as shown below:

(49) $\begin{array}{cc}\frac{v}{v_1}=\frac{16V_0}{L_1.Math..Math.v.Math.W^2}& \left(7\right)\end{array}$

(50) In the formula, the quality V0 is based on formula (1) and formula (2). Here, v1 is the speed of movement of the scraper conveyor 4.

(51) As shown in FIG. 11, the unit time of the matrix and the time for laying out the amount of smoothing depends on the size and rotation angle of the 38 parts:
Q=(1k).Math.W.Math..Math..Math.[R.sub.2.sup.2(R.sub.2H.sub.2).sup.2].Math.(R.sub.2+H.sub.2/2)(8)

(52) In the formula, R.sub.2 is the radius of 38 parts; w is angular velocity of 36 and 38 of transmission shaft; H2 is the height of the scraper 39; and K is the side gap leakage coefficient.

(53) The rotation of the mechanism 38 is driven by the rolling of the mechanism 37 in the groove along the skeleton 1 so that the size of the elastic sleeve 37 and the traveling speed of the trolley 3 in the aisle follow the formula below:

(54) $\begin{array}{cc}=\frac{v}{2R_3}& \left(9\right)\end{array}$

(55) In the formula, R.sub.3 is the radius of the thick elastic sleeve 37.

(56) Formula (1) to (9) show the requirements for upper material, blanking, three parts of the synchronous coordination operations, and the size of the various parts.
