Coffee fruit picking machine

Abstract

The present invention relates to a coffee fruit picking machine and belongs to the field of agricultural harvesting machinery. The coffee fruit picking machine comprises a picking mechanism, a fruit collecting tank, a picking driving mechanism, a handle, a storage battery and a mounting disk. The picking mechanism is extended to branches with coffee fruits through the handle, the picking mechanismis driven by the picking driving mechanism to achieve automatic picking of the coffee fruits on coffee tree branches, and the picked coffee fruits can be automatically collected through the fruit collecting tank. The coffee fruit picking machine can realize rapid picking of coffee fruits on branches, reduces labor intensity of farmers for manually picking the coffee fruits, meanwhile, has light weight and small size, can extend into any position of a coffee tree through the handle, realizes picking of the coffee fruits through a handheld operation in a limited space, effectively solves a problem that branches far away from trunks are difficult to pick in a manual picking process, can also avoid a situation that branches are broken or damaged due to the fact that the branches are pulled remotely in a picking process of farmers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of agricultural harvesting machinery, and in particular relates to a coffee fruit picker. Background technique [0002] The trunk of the coffee tree is strong and has many branches. The fruits are mainly distributed on the branches, and there are many nodes on the branches. Each node will grow as many as dozens of coffee cherries, as few as a few coffee cherries. The coffee cherry is a juicy berry, and the fruit does not ripen at the same time, and the growth of the fruit varies greatly at different altitudes. Coffee cherry belongs to climacteric fruit, and the fruit is not easy to store after ripening. During the picking season, the coffee harvest is basically picked by hand. It is necessary to manually pick up a single branch and select the ripe fruit for picking. Although foreign countries have used mechanical equipment to harvest coffee, these mechanical equipment are basically large-scale mechanical harvesting ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Although foreign countries have used mechanical equipment to harvest coffee, such mechanical equipment is basically large-scale mechanical harvesting equipment. Due to the flat terrain of foreign coffee-growing areas, this large-scale mechanical harvesting equipment can meet the picking requirements

[0003] my country's Yunnan Province is a plantation base for arabica coffee, but it is hilly and mountainous, with complex terrain. It is difficult to pick arabica coffee when it is ripe, and the large coffee harvesters harvested abroad are not suitable for the terrain of hilly and mountainous areas in Yunnan Province, and cannot be used for labor.

The hills and mountains are basically picked by hand. This picking method has a shortage of labor during the picking season; and the branches of the coffee tree are slender and dense. Each branch is distributed with 6-10 nodes, and each node is basically distributed. With more than a dozen coffee cherries, the work intensity of farmers picking them is very high. At the same time, farmers cannot damage the branches and fruit nodes when picking them manually.
