Berry fruit vibration harvesting device with branch supporting function

Abstract

The invention provides a berry fruit vibration harvesting device with a branch supporting function. The device causes small disturbance to branches, reduces the damage rate of fruits and branches, andis suitable for harvesting berry fruits of densely planted dwarf fruit trees. According to the device, a collecting box is arranged at the bottom of a vertical plate, a branch supporting device is arranged above the collecting box, and an insertion tooth vibration device is arranged above the branch supporting device; the branch supporting device comprises at least two chains, wherein each chainsurrounds a front chain wheel and a rear chain wheel; the insertion tooth vibration device comprises an insertion tooth guide rail, an insertion tooth fixing plate and a plurality of insertion teeth extending downwards, wherein the insertion tooth guide rail extends in the front-back direction, the insertion tooth fixing plate is slidably connected with the insertion tooth guide rail, the insertion teeth are arranged on the insertion tooth fixing plate, and a vibration mechanism used for driving the insertion tooth fixing plate to reciprocate is arranged on the insertion tooth guide rail. Theupper part of the insertion tooth guide rail is connected with a vertical driving mechanism; a traversing area for the fruit branches to pass through is formed among the right side of the vertical plate, the chains and the insertion teeth. When the fruit branches pass through the traversing area, the vertical driving mechanism and the vibration mechanism move so that the berry fruits on the fruitbranches are separated from the fruit branches and fall into the collecting box.

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
