Compact vibration harvesting device for fruit harvesting

Abstract

The invention provides a compact vibration harvesting device for fruit harvesting. The device lowers the fruit and branch damage rate and is suitable for harvesting of berries of fruit trees planted in a dwarfing close planting mode; a collecting box is arranged in the front of the bottom of a vertical plate, and a branch supporting device and an insertion tooth vibrating device are arranged abovethe collecting box; the branch supporting device comprises at least two front-back extending chains, and each chain surrounds a front chain wheel and a rear chain wheel; the insertion tooth vibratingdevice comprises a tooth insertion guide rail extending in the front-back direction, an insertion tooth fixing plate in sliding connection with the tooth insertion guide rail and a plurality of upward extending insertion teeth arranged on the insertion tooth fixing plate, and a vibrating mechanism for driving the insertion tooth fixing plate to reciprocate along the insertion tooth guide rail isarranged on the insertion tooth guide rail; the insertion tooth guide rail is in sliding connection with the vertical plate in the vertical direction, and the insertion tooth guide rail is connected with a vertical driving mechanism; the insertion tooth guide rail and the chains are arranged in a spaced mode.

Description

technical field [0001] This patent relates to the technical field of agricultural picking equipment, in particular to a berry fruit picking device. Background technique [0002] With the rise of labor costs, mechanized harvesting of agricultural and forestry fruits has gradually become a trend. Some fruits, such as ginkgo and walnuts, can be harvested by shaking the trunk, but berries such as wolfberries, blueberries, and cherries can only be harvested by vibrating branches. The way of the branch or the vibration harvesting method with a drum structure with many teeth, and the berry fruit is relatively fragile, so the strength and height of the vibration device are particularly important, otherwise it is more likely to cause damage to the berry, such as the existing wolfberry harvester ( 201410466469.4), the vibrating device is arranged up and down, and the vibrating device on the upper side is at a certain height from the harvesting device, so the fruit is more vulnerable t...

Problems solved by technology

Berries are also harvested using the principle of negative pressure air suction. However, this type of device consumes a lot of energy, has high operating costs, requires high air tightness, and is difficult to control the damage rate.

[0004] Vibrating picking machines are still the mainstream of berry picking methods, but the current vibrating fruit picking machines have low efficiency, great damage to fruiting branches, and the problem of mechanism design, especially the single function of the picking head device. How to design a A new vibration picking device for berry picking is particularly important
