Citrus picking machine

Abstract

A citrus picking machine comprises a frame 1 provided with rollers at the bottom, wherein a handle 8 is mounted on the frame 1, collecting frames 2 are mounted in the frame 1, an execution mechanism 4and a sorting mechanism 5 are also mounted on the frame, the execution mechanism 4 comprises a disc body 9, stationary shafts 10, a rotating shaft 11 and ordinary polish rods 12, the ordinary polishrod 12 and the stationary shafts 10 are alternately arranged on the circumference of the disc body 9, each stationary shaft 10 is provided with blades which are radially arranged from the central shaft, the rotating shaft 11 arranged at the axis of the disc body 9 is in a shape of a crankshaft, the rotating shaft 11 and the stationary shafts 10 cooperate to pick citrus, and the clearance between each ordinary polish rod 12 and one stationary shaft 10 is smaller than the diameter of citrus; the sorting mechanism 5 comprises a casing 13, a sponge wheel 14, a sorting wheel 15 and sponge 16, the sponge wheel 14 and the sponge 16 are arranged on the inner wall of the casing 3, a gap between every two blades of the sorting wheel 15 form a container for conveying the citrus, and small citrus outlets and large citrus outlets are sequentially arranged on the casing 13 in the rotating direction of the blades of the sorting wheel 15.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a citrus picking mechanism. technical background [0002] Citrus is the largest category of fruit in the world. Since the 21st century, the growth rate of citrus production has continued to accelerate, and its proportion in the world's total fruit production has shown a steady increase. Citrus production is huge, and the resulting problem is the inefficiency caused by insufficient harvesters. Most of the fruit harvesters are hired by the orchard from outside, and most of them are middle-aged and elderly people in their 50s and 60s, lacking young labor. In fruit picking, picking is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive link, accounting for about 40% of the workload in the entire production process. [0003] Most of the citrus picking institutions currently on the market are based on single picking with long poles. Generally speaking, the efficiency is low, and it cannot effectively solve the problems encountered by fruit...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, most of the citrus picking institutions on the market are based on single picking with long poles. Generally speaking, the efficiency is low, and it cannot effectively solve the problems encountered by fruit farmers when picking, so the practical value is not high.
