[0020] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure, the solutions disclosed herein will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0021] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this disclosure, but this disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some, and not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0022] This disclosure provides a jasmine flower picking device for tea, including a picker 1, a collecting device 2, and a blowing device 3; the collecting device 2 is connected to the blowing device 3, the jasmine flowers are collected into the collecting device 2 by the picker 1, and the blowing device 3 is used to blow the jasmine flowers.

[0023] In this embodiment, it includes a harvester 1, a collecting device 2, and a blowing device 3. For example... Figure 1As shown, the collecting device 2 and the blowing device 3 are connected. The picker 1 is set on the upper side of the collecting device 2. Since it is not the right time to harvest jasmine flowers when they are too open or not yet fully grown, only jasmine flowers that are just about to bloom are suitable for harvesting. The diameter of the jasmine flowers that are about to bloom is neither too large nor too small compared to the diameter of the jasmine flowers that are too open or not yet fully grown. Therefore, by limiting the size of the jasmine flowers picked by the picker 1, the picker 1 can pick suitable jasmine flowers. Then, the suction of the blowing device 3 is used to suck the jasmine flowers on the picker 1 into the collecting device 2, thus completing the harvesting of jasmine flowers.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the harvester 1 includes a support member 11 and harvesting teeth 12. Multiple harvesting teeth 12 are disposed on the support member 11 and are used to harvest jasmine flowers. In this embodiment, the support member 11 has a strip-shaped structure. Under normal circumstances, multiple harvesting teeth 12 are installed vertically on the support member 11. Then, through the action of two adjacent harvesting teeth 12, the jasmine flower is hooked by the two teeth 12, and the suitable jasmine flower is then harvested from the plant. Preferably, in this embodiment, the harvesting teeth 12 have a structure that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. This design makes it more convenient to hook and cut the jasmine flower using the action of the harvesting teeth 12.

[0025] In addition, a cleaning device 4 is included, which is disposed on the collecting device 2 and is used to remove pollen. When picking jasmine flowers, pollen is present in the blooming jasmine flowers, and pollen can reduce the flavor of jasmine tea, so it is necessary to remove the pollen. Therefore, this embodiment includes a cleaning device 4 for removing pollen from the jasmine flowers. Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning device 4 is located above the collecting device 2 and the picker 1. When the picker 1 picks jasmine flowers, the pollen of the blooming jasmine flowers is removed directly by the cleaning action of the cleaning device 4.

[0026] Furthermore, the cleaning device 4 includes a bracket 41 and a pollen fan 42. The pollen fan 42 is mounted on the bracket 41, which is connected to the collecting device 2. The pollen fan 42 is used to clean jasmine pollen. The cleaning device 4 includes a bracket 41 and a pollen fan 42. In this embodiment, the bracket 41 is connected to the collecting device 2. The bracket 42 has a three-section bent structure. The first section is connected to the harvester 1, the second section's end away from the collecting device 2 is connected to the pollen fan 42, and the third section connects the first and second sections. The third section also has another function: connecting to the collecting device 22, thereby stably fixing the bracket to the collecting device 22. Furthermore, as... Figure 1As shown, both the first and third sections are inclined relative to the collecting device 22, which better suits the growth direction of the jasmine flowers and allows for more efficient harvesting. The pollen fan 42 is located at the end of the support 41 away from the collecting device 2, with its outlet aimed at the jasmine flowers, so that pollen can be removed from the jasmine flowers simultaneously during harvesting.

[0027] Specifically, the blower device 3 includes a base 31 and a fan 32. The fan 32 is mounted on the base 31, and its outlet is connected to the collecting device 2. Figure 1 As shown, the blower device 3 includes a base 31 and a fan 32. The base 31 is approximately L-shaped and provides a mounting position for the fan 32. The fan 32 is then vertically mounted on the base 31. In this embodiment, the fan 32 is a suction type, and the air outlet of the fan 32 is connected to the collecting device 2. When the fan 32 is running, the wind generated will produce suction, thereby successfully sucking the picked jasmine flowers into the collecting device 2.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the collection device 2 includes two collection buckets, and the picker 1 is disposed between the two collection buckets. In this embodiment, the collection device 2 is symmetrically disposed on both sides of the picker 1. During picking, the picker 1 can hook the jasmine flowers according to the different picking teeth 12 on the left and right sides of the picker 1, and drop them into the corresponding collection buckets, so that the flowers can be graded according to their appearance during picking.

[0029] Furthermore, the angle of the picking tooth 12 relative to the support member 11 in the vertical direction is adjustable, and the adjustment angle range of each picking tooth 12 is 0° to 7.5°. Preferably, in this embodiment, the adjustment angle is adjusted to 5.2° to 5.3°, which is the optimal angle selected through experiments.

[0030] This disclosure also provides a method for harvesting jasmine flowers for tea, using the aforementioned jasmine flower harvesting device for tea, including the following steps:

[0031] To determine the grade of jasmine flowers, use the picker 1 to pick jasmine flowers at different locations, and then place the jasmine flowers into different collection buckets according to their grade.

[0032] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0033] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this disclosure, enabling those skilled in the art to understand or implement it. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this disclosure. Therefore, this disclosure is not to be limited to the embodiments described herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
