[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-6 In this embodiment of the invention, a grape harvesting tool includes a support rod 1, a handle 2 at the bottom end of the support rod 1, a support frame 3 fixedly mounted at the top end of the support rod 1, a collection cylinder 5 on one side of the support frame 3, a cutting mechanism 4 for cutting grapevines at the top end of the collection cylinder 5, a bagging mechanism 6 for bagging grape bunches at the bottom end of the collection cylinder 5, a feeding hopper 8 at the bottom end of the bagging mechanism 6, a connecting cylinder 9 connected to the bottom end of the feeding hopper 8, the connecting cylinder 9 being fixedly connected to the support frame 3, and a conveying pipe 10 connected to the bottom end of the connecting cylinder 9. The conveying pipe 10 is a pipe structure, preferably made of a flexible material. A button is provided on the handle 2, which can control the cutting. The operation of mechanism 4 and bagging mechanism 6: Before harvesting grapes, the film cover 14 is first placed on the collection cylinder 5. When harvesting grapes, the hand handle 2 is held to move the support rod 1 so that the grape bunch to be harvested is inserted into the collection cylinder 5. Then, the grape vine is cut by the cutting mechanism 4, so that the grape bunch falls down to the bagging mechanism 6. The bagging mechanism 6 bags the grapes. After bagging, the grapes are output through the feed hopper 8, connecting cylinder 9 and conveying pipe 10. The grape bunches can be bagged at the same time as harvesting, without the need for subsequent bagging. It is more convenient to use. Moreover, when the bagged grape bunches slide down in the conveying pipe 10, the skin of the grapes is not easily scratched or damaged due to the protection of the film bag, and the grapes are not easy to fall off, which can effectively avoid damage to the grapes during harvesting.

[0026] In this embodiment, preferably, the bagging mechanism 6 includes a first mounting base 61, which is fixedly connected to the collection cylinder 5 via a connecting frame 13. A first sliding groove is provided on the first mounting base 61, and two first sliding blocks 65 are slidably installed within the first sliding groove. A first drive rod 66 is rotatably installed inside the first sliding groove. A first motor 67 is fixedly installed at one end of the first mounting base 61, and the output end of the first motor 67 is connected to the first drive rod 66. A first threaded groove and a second threaded groove are symmetrically provided on the outer wall of the first drive rod 66, with the thread directions of the first and second threaded grooves being opposite. The two first sliding blocks 65 are respectively threadedly connected to the first and second threaded grooves. Each of the two first slide blocks 65 has a first support plate 62 fixedly installed on one side. Each of the two first support plates 62 has two heating plates 63 and a first cutter 64 fixedly installed on the opposite sidewalls. The first cutter 64 is located between the two heating plates 63. The top of the first mounting base 61 is provided with a fixing component 7 for fixing the film sleeve 14. When the output end of the first motor 67 rotates, it can drive the first drive rod 66 to rotate. When the first drive rod 66 rotates, it drives the two first slide blocks 65 to move in opposite directions, thereby driving the two first support plates 62 to move in opposite directions, thereby driving the oppositely arranged first cutter 64 and heating plate 63 to move in opposite directions, cutting the film sleeve 14 into two parts, and sealing the openings of the two parts with heat fusion.

[0027] In this embodiment, preferably, the fixing component 7 includes two fixing seats 71, both of which are fixedly installed on the top of the first mounting seat 61. A pressure rod 73 is rotatably installed on one side of the fixing seat 71 via a connecting shaft 72. An arc-shaped pressure plate 74 is fixedly installed on one side of the pressure rod 73. The two arc-shaped pressure plates 74 are arranged opposite to each other, and multiple balls 75 are provided on the opposite sidewalls of the two arc-shaped pressure plates 74. When the film sleeve 14 is fitted onto the collection cylinder 5, the balls 75 press against the outer wall of the film sleeve 14. A torsion spring is fitted on the connecting shaft 72. One end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 72, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the fixing seat 71. Under the action of the torsion spring, the pressure rod 73 can provide pressure on the arc-shaped pressure plate 74, so that the two arc-shaped pressure plates 74 squeeze and fix the film sleeve 14 through the balls 75, thereby making the film sleeve 14 pulled out from the collection cylinder 5 relatively flat and reducing wrinkles on the film sleeve 14.

[0028] See Figure 7 and Figure 8It should be noted that the film sleeve 14 used in this application has a folded part 1401, an unfolded part 1402 and a sealing part 1403. The film sleeve 14 is a cylindrical structure. The folded part 1401 is sleeved on the collection tube 5, and the top of the folded part 1401 is fixed to the top of the outer wall of the collection tube 5. The unfolded part 1402 is located below the folded part 1401, and the folded part 1401 and the unfolded part 1402 are integrated. The unfolded part 1402 is just a division of the unfolded part 1402 of the folded part 1401, and is distinguished only by different shapes. The ball bearing 75 presses on the unfolded part 1402. The sealing part 1403 is located below the unfolded part 1402. The sealing part 1403 is formed by the mutual extrusion and melting of two heating plates 63.

[0029] Please see Figures 2-4 In this embodiment of the invention, the shearing mechanism 4 includes a second mounting base 41, which is fixedly mounted on the support frame 3. The bottom end of the second mounting base 41 is fixedly connected to one side of the top wall of the collection cylinder 5. A second sliding groove is provided on the second mounting base 41, and two second sliding blocks 42 are slidably installed in the second sliding groove. A second drive rod 45 is rotatably installed inside the second sliding groove. A second motor 46 is fixedly mounted on one end of the second mounting base 41, and the output end of the second motor 46 is connected to the second drive rod 45 for transmission. A third thread is symmetrically provided on the outer wall of the second drive rod 45. The second slide 42 is threaded to the third and fourth threaded grooves respectively. A second support plate 43 is fixedly installed on one side of each of the two second slides 42. A second cutter 44 is fixedly installed on the opposite sidewall of each of the two second support plates 43. When the output end of the second motor 46 rotates, it can drive the second drive rod 45 to rotate. When the second drive rod 45 rotates, it drives the two second slides 42 to move in opposite directions, thereby driving the two second support plates 43 to move in opposite directions, thereby driving the two second cutters 44 to move in opposite directions, thus cutting the grapevine.

[0030] In this embodiment, preferably, one side of each of the two second slide blocks 42 extends out of the second slide groove, and the bottom end of the part of each of the two second slide blocks 42 extending out of the second slide groove is fixedly installed with a connecting rod 11. The bottom end of each of the two connecting rods 11 is fixedly installed with a baffle 12. The feed hopper 8 is provided with an insertion groove, and the baffle 12 is disposed in the insertion groove. When the two second cutters 44 approach each other to cut the grapevine, the two second slide blocks 42 drive the two baffles 12 to approach each other through the two connecting rods 11, so that the two baffles 12 extend into the feed hopper 8 to close the outlet of the feed hopper 8, so that when the grape bunches fall downwards, they first fall onto the baffles 12, preventing the grape bunches from pulling out a long film sleeve 14 and causing waste.

[0031] Working principle: Before harvesting grapes, the film sleeve 14 is first placed on the collection cylinder 5. When harvesting grapes, the hand grip 2 is used to move the support rod 1, so that the grape bunch to be harvested is inserted into the collection cylinder 5. Then, the two second cutters 44 on the cutting mechanism 4 approach each other to cut the grapevine, causing the grape bunch to fall downwards. At the same time, when the two second cutters 44 approach each other to cut the grapevine, the two second slides 42 drive the two baffles 12 to approach each other through the two connecting rods 11, so that the two baffles 12 extend into the feed hopper 8 to close the outlet of the feed hopper 8, causing the grape bunch to fall downwards onto the baffles 12. During the downward fall of the grape bunch, the grape bunch... Under its own gravity, the film sleeve 14 is pulled out part of the way, so that the film sleeve 14 wraps the grape bunch. Then, the two first support plates 62 on the bagging mechanism 6 move closer to each other, which drives the first cutter 64 and the heating plate 63 to move. The first cutter 64 cuts the film sleeve 14 and heat-seales the openings of the two parts, so that the grape bunch is sealed in the film bag. Then, the two second slides 42 move further apart, which drives the two connecting rods 11 to move further apart, so that the two baffles 12 are moved out of the feed hopper 8. The packaged grape bunch slides through the connecting cylinder 9 into the conveying pipe 10, and is then manually removed from the outlet of the conveying pipe 10.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of this patent application are included in the scope of this patent application.
