Fruit plucker

Abstract

The invention relates to a fruit plucker. The fruit plucker comprises pulling rods, flexible shaft components, reset devices, a slide mechanism, clamp handles and shear handles; wherein one end of the first pulling rod is connected with a drive mechanism, while the other end is articulated with one end of the second pulling rod and one end of the third pulling rod respectively; the other end of the second pulling rod is articulated with one end of the first flexible shaft component; the other end of the first flexible shaft component is articulated with one end of the fourth pulling rod and one end of the fifth pulling rod respectively; the other end of the fourth pulling rod and the other end of the fifth pulling rod are articulated with two shear handles; the other end of the third pulling rod is articulated with one end of the second flexible shaft component; the other end of the second flexible shaft component is articulated with one end of the sixth pulling rod and one end of the seventh pulling rod respectively; the other end of the sixth pulling rod and the other end of the seventh pulling rod are articulated with two clamp handles; the two shear handles are formed into an opening-closing structure through articulating; the first reset device is arranged between the two shear handles; the two clamp handles are arranged on the slide mechanism; the second reset device is arranged between the two clamp handles. The fruit plucker has simple structure, easy operation and strong practicality.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to fruit pickers, in particular to a picker with a clamping mechanism and a shearing mechanism with a flexible shaft assembly driving structure. Background technique [0002] At present, the degree of automation of fruit picking equipment is low and the efficiency is low, so automated mechanical picking equipment has great application prospects. As far as fruit picking mechanisms appearing at present, most of them are driven by motors or pneumatic or hydraulic drives. And the picker structure that adopts these structures is comparatively complicated mostly, needs complicated transmission mechanism, has increased the loss of energy and cost is generally higher, practicability is poor, and maintenance is difficult. For example Chinese patent 200810060259. X discloses a kind of fruit picker, and it is made up of power source, strut and the picking part that is arranged on the top of the strut, and the picking part is formed by the co...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

It effectively solves the problems of short service life, large picking head, difficulty in using in places with dense branches, and low efficiency of portable picking machines.

However, the picking head is driven by the motor driven by the power supply, which requires additional power supply, which increases energy consumption. In addition, the connection between the power supply and the motor also limits the convenient movement of the picker.

At the same time, the motor is set in the cavity of the picking head, and its output end is also equipped with a planetary reducer, which increases the complexity of the structure and the difficulty of maintenance

In addition, due to the variety of fruits and different sizes, different types of picking heads are required, and the replacement of the rack is not easy, so it also has certain limitations in versatility

In Chinese patent 200420050927.8, a picker using a pneumatic transmission device is disclosed. The picker uses picking wheels and compressed airflow to continuously pick and transport cotton. It has the advantages of continuous operation, picking, transporting and packaging can be completed automatically. However, it needs to add an additional drive and air supply mechanism, and the adaptability to the environment is poor (rain, dust, etc.), and it is not very practical for fruit picking.
