Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of cherry harvesting, and in particular to a picking device and method for a cherry orchard. Background Art

[0002] Cherries are a kind of fruit that is extremely difficult to store.

[0003] The first is that cherries are easily bruised, and the second is that many people are not suitable for climbing trees.

[0004] In the current cherry picking, the most suitable method for Chinese farmers is to pick the cherries one by one, rather than using foreign automated vibration picking machines, because once the cherries are injured by vibration, they will be quickly damaged. In addition, the layout of farmland in China is also different from that in foreign countries.

[0005] There are many types of fruit picking devices in China, and the claw-type ones will damage the fruit surface.

[0006] There are also fruit picking heads similar to the fruit picking head 11 of the present invention in the prior art, but they all require the rod to be laid flat after the fruit stalk is broken to collect the fruit.

[0007] Therefore, a fruit picking device suitable for Chinese farmers is urgently needed.

[0008] Using the keywords "cherry and fruit picking" to search the Chinese patent disclosure database, twelve documents were found. The twelve documents are:

[0020] CN206149879U; 2017.05.10; A box tray suitable for use in cherry orchards.

[0021] The defects of these technologies and the two technologies related to this patent are:

[0022] The high-branch cherry ground picker disclosed in CN203251654U still needs to raise and lower the pole continuously; the physical requirements on human body are still very high.

[0023] The high-altitude multi-angle cherry picking tool disclosed in CN212087049U has an overly complex structure and is very difficult to operate. Summary of the invention

[0024] Purpose of the invention: To provide a more effective picking device and method for cherry orchards. The specific purpose can be seen in the multiple substantial technical effects of the specific implementation part.

[0025] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0026] A picking device for a cherry orchard, characterized in that:

[0027] The picking device comprises a handle 2, on which a rod body 1 is arranged, and a fruit picking head 11 is arranged at the end of the rod body 1. The fruit picking head 11 comprises a plurality of fruit head petals 12; the fruit head petals 12 comprise petal bodies 121, and each petal body 121 comprises a petal edge 122 on its side;

[0028] The rear of the fruit picking head 11 includes a rubber material 13 and a docking ring 10. The docking ring 10 is a hard annular structure that can be sleeved on the rubber material 13.

[0029] A soft pocket 9 extends out of the docking ring 10, and the soft pocket 9 is woven, glued or heat-sealed on the docking ring 10;

[0030] The bottom of the soft bag 9 is connected to the soft bag sleeve 8, and the soft bag sleeve 8 is connected to the sleeve 6 through the connecting rod 4;

[0031] The sleeve 6 is sleeved on the rod body 1;

[0032] A bottom soft pocket 3 is arranged at the bottom of the soft pocket 9; a fruit outlet 7 is arranged on the side of the soft pocket sleeve 8.

[0033] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the rod body 1 is a telescopic rod body.

[0034] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the telescopic rod body is two groups of bodies threadedly connected to each other, and relative rotation can change the overall length.

[0035] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the fruit picking head 11 is installed on the rod body 1 through a fruit picking head installation tube 14 .

[0036] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the sleeve 6 is a sleeve made of rubber material.

[0037] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the soft bag 9 is a gauze structure; the inner wall of the soft bag sleeve 8 includes a cushion layer.

[0038] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the soft bag sleeve 8 and the fruit outlet 7 are heat-sealed together to form a right-angle structure, in which the bottom soft bag 3 is used for final buffering.

[0039] A further technical solution of the present invention is that a fruit bag can be placed outside the fruit outlet 7 .

[0040] A further technical solution of the present invention is that the rod body 1 is a straight rod or a bent rod.

[0041] A cherry picking method for a cherry orchard, characterized in that the cherry picking device for a cherry orchard as described in any one of the above items is used, and comprises the following steps:

[0042] Step 1: Picking cherries by cutting the stems without squeezing: The gaps of the petal body 121 of the picking head 11 are aligned with the cherry stems, and then the petal edge blade 122 is used to cut the stems. During the cutting process, the picking head 11 is rotated to cut with the edge of the blade;

[0043] Step 2: Soft bag transmission: the fallen cherries will fall into the soft bag 9 and go along the soft bag to the bottom soft bag 3 for final buffering; then use the hand to guide the cherries out of the fruit outlet 7 through the bottom soft bag 3; close the bottom soft bag 3 and push it out;

[0044] Step 3: Bag packaging or boxing: Then use decoration, or put fruit bags on the outside of the fruit outlet 7, and pack them directly after picking.

[0045] The present invention adopting the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: in view of the defect of the prior art "the high-branch cherry ground picker disclosed in CN203251654U still needs to raise and lower the pole continuously; the physical requirements of the human body are still very high."; this patent innovatively transports the picked cherries directly from the soft bag to the bottom, and the fruits can be taken directly from the bottom without having to go up and down. It should be noted that the fruit trees are very dense, so it is very difficult to constantly raise and lower the pole.

[0046] In view of the defect of the prior art that "the high-altitude multi-angle cherry picking tool disclosed in CN212087049U is too complicated in structure and very difficult to operate."; the structure of this patent is extremely simple, can be easily implemented and operated, firstly, the cost is low, and secondly, the effect is good.

[0047] In view of the defect of the prior art that "the fruit surface is easily damaged", this patent adopts a segmented edge blade 122 to cut off the fruit stem, so the cherry will not be damaged. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0074] Embodiment 3: As a further improved solution or parallel solution or optional independent solution, the telescopic rod body is two sets of main bodies threaded together, and the relative rotation can change the overall length. The substantial technical effect and implementation process of the technical solution here, i.e. the basic function, are as follows: the overall length can be flexibly adjusted according to the on-site environment.

[0075] Embodiment 4: As a further improved solution or parallel solution or optional independent solution, the fruit picking head 11 is installed on the rod body 1 through the fruit picking head installation tube 14. The substantial technical effect and implementation process of the technical solution here, i.e., the basic function, are as follows: Therefore, it can be disassembled and replaced with other fruit picking heads.

[0076] Embodiment 5: As a further improved solution or parallel solution or optional independent solution, the sleeve 6 is a sleeve made of rubber material. The substantial technical effect and implementation process of the technical solution here, i.e. the basic function, are as follows: soft and does not damage cherries.

[0077] Embodiment 6: As a further improved solution or a parallel solution or an optional independent solution, the soft bag 9 is a gauze structure; the inner wall of the soft bag sleeve 8 includes a cushion layer.

[0078] Embodiment 7: As a further improved solution or parallel solution or optional independent solution, the soft bag sleeve 8 and the fruit outlet 7 are heat-sealed together to form a right-angle structure, in which the bottom soft bag 3 is used for final buffering. The substantial technical effect and implementation process of the technical solution here, i.e., the basic function, are as follows: Similar fixed structures are within the protection scope of this patent.
