Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil palm fruit picking, in particular to an adaptive oil palm fruit picking tool. Background Art

[0002] Oil palm fruit, also known as palm fruit, has an outer layer of pulp, containing 45% to 50% oil, and a hard palm kernel inside, which contains a kernel. The pulp can be used to make skin oil, and the kernel can be used to make palm kernel oil. The main producing countries in the world are Malaysia and Indonesia. Palm fruits grow on large fruit bunches of palm trees, each fruit bunch has about hundreds of palm fruits. Palm fruits can be used to extract palm oil, which has been used as a natural food for more than 5,000 years. Palm oil is extracted from palm fruits by boiling or rolling, and palm kernel oil is extracted from palm kernels by pressing. Palm oil is the second largest edible vegetable oil in the world. The cost of palm cultivation is low, and the price of palm oil is low, so it is very competitive in the world edible oil market.

[0003] The patent with application publication number CN114586543A discloses an adaptive oil palm fruit picking tool, including a knife body and a guide frame, wherein the knife body is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the guide frame, and the knife body includes a blade, a slide rod, a spring and a first connecting block, wherein the rear portion of the blade is fixedly connected to the front portion of the slide rod, and the spring is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the slide rod. The present invention uses the guide frame to align, pull the first connecting block backward and then release the first connecting block, and use the elastic force of the spring to drive the slide rod and the blade to quickly move forward along the inner wall of the guide frame to restore the cutting target, thereby improving the accuracy of the cutting target. The above patent uses the spring elasticity design as the power source of the knife head, and the cutting force of the knife head is limited. Moreover, the fruit bunches of oil palm fruits are mostly grown at the height of the fruit tree, and there are more branches and dead grass around the fruit bunches. The roots of the fruit bunches connected to the fruit tree are mostly covered by the fruit bunches, which are difficult to cut. The above patent cannot solve this problem, and is not very targeted. Moreover, the root structure of the fruit bunches of oil palm fruits is relatively thick, and it is difficult to cut the roots only by providing power to the knife through the spring elasticity.

When in use, the tool 22 is driven to move above the main body rod 1 by pushing the push rod 2 to perform a cutting action. The user holds the main body rod 1 with one hand and pushes the push rod 2 with the other hand. First, the top of the device is close to the fruit bunch of oil palm fruits and the positioning cone 6 is moved. 1 is inserted into the side of the oil palm fruit bunch, and then pushed up or to the side to expose the root of the oil palm fruit bunch. After finding the root, the oil palm fruit bunch can be adjusted by pushing the main rod 1 to drive the movement of the oil palm fruit bunch, and the angle between the cutter 22 and the root of the oil palm fruit bunch can be adjusted. Then, the push rod 2 is pushed to drive the cutter 22 to cut its root. After cutting off the root, the positioning cone 61 is still inserted into the oil palm fruit bunch to prevent it from falling, so it can be transported to the ground. Using this device, on the one hand, the position of the oil palm fruit bunch can be conveniently adjusted to find its root for cutting, and on the other hand, the cut oil palm fruit bunch will not fall freely to the ground, causing the oil palm fruit grains to break and scatter. Using this device to pick oil palm fruits is easy, convenient and efficient, and can ensure the integrity of the oil palm fruit bunch to the greatest extent.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment, a fixing column 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the support disk 12 and between the arc-shaped positioning plate 6 and the push rod 2. A transversely inserted rotating shaft 62 is rotatably installed on the top of the fixing column 5. A symmetrically distributed fixing seat 63 is fixedly installed on the side of the arc-shaped positioning plate 6 close to the fixing column 5. Both ends of the rotating shaft 62 are respectively fixedly installed on the opposite sides of the two fixing seats 63. After the positioning cone 61 is inserted into the oil palm fruit bunch, the main rod 1 is pushed to move, and the arc-shaped positioning plate 6 will rotate and tilt, so that the angle and distance between the positioning cone 61 and the tool 22 become larger, which can facilitate the back and forth movement of the tool 22 and the cutting of the root of the oil palm fruit bunch. At the same time, the position of the positioning cone 61 can also be selected according to the different sizes of oil palm fruit bunches, which makes it convenient to push the oil palm fruit bunch to find the root position.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, there are multiple positioning cones 61 distributed in an arc shape at equal intervals on the top of the arc-shaped positioning plate 6, so that the positioning cone 61 can be more accurately and stably inserted into the oil palm fruit bunch. An inclined blade 23 is provided on the top of the tool 22 to increase the sharpness of the tool 22. An abutment block 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 12 and on the side of the arc-shaped positioning plate 6 away from the fixed column 5. After the arc-shaped positioning plate 6 is rotated to a certain angle, its left and right sides will be respectively abutted by the abutment block 7 and the fixed column 5. In this way, the positioning cone 61 and the arc-shaped positioning plate 6 can be protected to prevent them from rotating too much and becoming loose or broken.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, a balancing disk 13 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the main rod 1 with equal intervals distributed from top to bottom, and the push rod 2 is slidably inserted in the center position of the balancing disk 13, so that the push rod 2 always remains parallel to the main rod 1 during the movement, so that when the user pushes the push rod 2, the resistance is reduced and the landing point of the tool 22 is more accurate.

The bottom end of the power rod 4 passes through the bottom end of the main rod 1 and extends to the bottom of the main rod 1. By pushing the power rod 4, the push rod 2 can be driven to reciprocate to cut the roots of the oil palm fruit bunches.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, a first internal thread groove is provided at the bottom end of the connecting rod 3, a plug-in rod 41 is fixedly installed at the top end of the power rod 4, and a first external thread groove 42 that matches the size of the first internal thread groove is provided on the outer side of the plug-in rod 41. The plug-in rod 41 at the top end of the power rod 4 is threadedly connected with the first internal thread groove through the first external thread groove 42 to complete the connection between the power rod 4 and the connecting rod 3. In this way, the connecting rod 3 and the push rod 2 can be driven to move by pushing the power rod 4. When not in use, the first internal thread groove can be rotated to disengage the first external thread groove 42, and the power rod 4 can be removed to prevent accidental touching of the power rod 4 from causing the movement of the tool 22 to create a safety hazard.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, the outer side of the connecting rod 3 is fixedly sleeved with an abutment ring 31, and the bottom of the abutment ring 31 can abut against the plug-in rod 41. After the power rod 4 is removed, the power rod 4 can be pushed into the main rod 1. At this time, the connecting rod 3 will be tilted, and the end of the plug-in rod 41 will abut against the bottom of the abutment ring 31.

[0033] Embodiment 3

[0034] See also Figure 1-6 In this embodiment: a sheath 11 is fixedly sleeved on the side of the bottom end of the main rod 1, and a grip rod 43 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the power rod 4.
