AI Technical Summary
Existing tools for harvesting Sichuan pepper are inefficient because the branches of the Sichuan pepper plant are messy and dense, which can easily damage the buds and leaves of the following year. The skin of the Sichuan pepper seeds is also easily broken. Harvesting and collection are not synchronized, resulting in inflexible operation and high costs.
A mechanical pepper harvester was designed, which adopts a single-blade cutting edge and transmission system, combined with a collection system to ensure synchronous harvesting and collection. It uses high-quality steel and lightweight nickel alloy materials, and is equipped with a whetstone to improve the hardness and wear resistance of the blade. The transmission system achieves operational flexibility through a movable shaft and a fixed shaft.
It has increased the efficiency of pepper harvesting by 2-3 times, reduced the risk of pepper farmers being pricked, reduced labor costs, and improved the synchronicity and operational flexibility of harvesting.

[0020] The principles and characteristics of the present application are described in conjunction with the following drawings.
[0021] The picker is composed of an edge system, a transmission system and a collecting system, and is additionally provided with a special sharpening stone.
[0022] The upper blade (1) cover plate and the blade form a 90° right angle, the cover plate has a size of 7.2 cm x 7.2 cm, the blade has a height of 0.7 cm and a width of 6.8 cm, so as to ensure that the upper blade (1) can smoothly enter the cut (2).
[0023] The square picking mouth (3) has a size of 7.2 cm x 7.2 cm x 1.5 cm, a bottom inner diameter of 6.3 cm of the circular hose interface, a height of 2.5 cm, and the upper and lower blades are made of 0.12 cm thick 5Cr15MoV high-quality steel, and the lower single blade cut (2) and the square picking mouth (3) are completed by argon arc welding, so as to ensure that under the premise of firmness, the standard process requirements can be met.
[0024] The upper blade connecting force arm (6) and the upper blade cover plate (1) are connected by a flat head screw, and a 0.3 cm adjusting stroke is left, so as to ensure the integrated contact of the upper blade and the lower single blade cut.
[0025] The transmission device integrated by the eight movable rotating shafts, the five fixed rotating shafts and the five transmission force arms can effectively shorten the force arm and improve the flexibility of operation.
[0026] The anti-self-locking device (24) is a 3 cm long screw, which can prevent self-locking during picking and can be self-locked during carrying, so as to prevent the blade from injuring the hand.
[0027] The auxiliary handle (25) can replace the commonly used connecting rod handle for emergency use when the commonly used connecting rod handle is accidentally damaged.
[0028] The broken line connection design of the transmission connecting rod (26) and the common connecting rod handle (28) effectively shortens the length of the force arm, facilitating flexible operation between branches.
[0029] The right-angle support (27) and the square picking opening (3) form a 90° right angle, and the vertical support handle conforms to the physiological gripping posture characteristics of the hand, reducing the fatigue of the hand.
[0030] The collection system is composed of a steel hose (29), a collection box (30), a shoulder strap (31), and an adjustable clamp (32).
[0031] The steel hose (29) is 100 cm long and has an inner diameter of 6.3 cm. Its arbitrary direction bending characteristics allow flexible application in dense branches, and the built-in steel wire ensures that it is not easily deformed and durable, and it is convenient to connect and separate with the adjustable clamp (32).
[0032] The collection box (30) has a size of 45 cm x 20 cm x 30 cm. Its volume and box structure make it convenient to use with the shoulder strap (31), and the plastic material is lightweight and not easily damaged.
[0033] Squeezing the common connecting rod handle (28) transmits the force to the movable shaft (14), the movable shaft (13), the movable shaft (12), the movable shaft (11), the movable shaft (10), the movable shaft (9), the movable shaft (8), and the movable shaft (7) in sequence through the fixed shaft (15). At this time, the fixed shaft (16), the fixed shaft (17), the fixed shaft (18), and the fixed shaft (19) also rotate in sequence. At the same time, the force arm of the auxiliary handle (25) also transmits the force to the upper blade (1) through the transmission force arm (21), the transmission force arm (20), the transmission force arm (22), the fan-shaped transmission force arm (23), and the upper blade connection force arm (6), causing the upper blade (1) and the lower double-blade knife edge (2) to close, completing the picking. The picked pepper passes through the square picking opening (3), the circular hose interface (4), and the steel hose (29), and finally collects in the collection box (30). Then, the common connecting rod handle (28) is loosened, and the rebounding spring (5) rebounds relying on its own elastic force, forming a 30° picking opening angle, ensuring a 7.5 cm wide picking opening between the upper and lower blades, thus completing the whole picking process.
[0034] The anti-locking device (24) rotates inward before picking to ensure that it does not lock during picking, and rotates outward after picking to ensure that it locks, facilitating safe carrying.
