Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of agricultural equipment, in particular to a sand hollow plum fruit sorting and picking basket. Background Art

[0002] The Shazi hollow plum is a local specialty fruit of Yanhe Tujia Autonomous County, Guizhou Province. It was approved as a national geographical indication protected product in 2006. Its fruit matures in mid-to-late July every year. When mature, the single fruit weighs about 30g, with a concave tip and a slightly oblate shape. The fruit surface is smooth without spots or stripes, and is yellow-green with a layer of silvery-white fruit powder. With a light pinch, the fruit will burst and overflow with juice. The flesh is light green, delicate, and juicy. It is separated from the core and tastes sour, sweet, refreshing, and has a unique flavor. It enjoys the reputation of "the second Maotai in Guizhou". The total cultivated area of ​​the county is close to 100,000 mu, which is one of the leading agricultural characteristic industries in Yanhe County. Its mature fruits can only be stored for two or three days at room temperature, which limits the expansion and development of the industry; its fruit is small, the fruit powder on the fruit surface is easy to fall off, and the thin skin is easy to be damaged, so it is not suitable for machine fruit size grading. Although the Shazi hollow plum industry has clear fruit grading and quality requirements, the overall management level of orchards and the quality level of fruits have declined instead of rising in the past decade. The shock and chaos in the fresh fruit sales market are worrying, which seriously affects the online and offline reputation of the industry brand. The consumer market continues to shrink, and the problem of difficulty in selling fruits is becoming increasingly serious. The entire industry is at a critical stage of survival and prosperity. Especially in terms of online express sales, fruit picking is completely done by feel, and then manual sorting and packaging are centralized. During the sorting process, there is basically no maturity control, and the control of fruit size, grade and appearance is not strict enough, making it difficult for most of the hollow plums sold by express delivery in recent years to meet the required quality requirements, which also caused the brand reputation of Shazi hollow plums sold online to be seriously damaged.

[0003] In summary, the problems existing in the prior art are:

[0004] In most hollow plum orchards, fruit picking is done completely by feel. Some people even pick all the fruits on the branches at once, regardless of size and maturity. The fruits in the picking baskets or corresponding turnover baskets vary greatly in maturity and size. Often a considerable proportion of the fruits do not meet the requirements for online express sales. Therefore, how to design a sorting basket for picking sand hollow plum fruits, improve the hollow plum fruit picking method and improve the fruit picking quality, and ensure that the subsequent packed fruits meet the requirements for maturity and size has become an increasingly serious problem.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, we proposed a sand hollow plum fruit sorting and picking basket, so as to improve the hollow plum fruit picking method and improve the fruit picking quality, ensure the subsequent fruit packaging quality, and promote the healthy development of online express sales of hollow plum fruits. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention is intended to provide a sand hollow plum fruit sorting and picking basket to solve the following problems existing in most of the prior arts: the picking of fruits in the hollow plum orchard is done completely by feeling, and even worse, all the fruits on the branches are picked at once. The picked fruits in the picking basket or the corresponding turnover basket vary greatly in maturity and fruit size, and often a considerable proportion of the fruits cannot meet the requirements of online express sales.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] A sand hollow plum fruit sorting and picking basket comprises a turnover basket, a bottom outer edge is fixedly provided at the bottom of the turnover basket, a top outer edge is fixedly provided at the top of the turnover basket, a movable partition is provided on the inner wall of the turnover basket, hollow handles are symmetrically provided at both ends of the turnover basket, shoulder straps are fixedly provided at both ends of the turnover basket, a fixed bottom plate is provided at the bottom of the turnover basket, a plurality of square reinforcement plates are evenly provided on the surface of the bottom plate, and leakage holes are symmetrically provided on the surfaces of the square reinforcement plates.

[0009] Furthermore, the long sides of the turnover basket are provided with 5 rows and each row has 25 side holes of the same arrangement, which are 3 cm long and 7 mm wide. The short sides at both ends of the turnover basket are also provided with several side holes of the same specifications, which are mainly used to fix the two plywood partitions placed in the turnover basket and parallel to the short sides of the turnover basket.

[0010] Furthermore, there is a 5cm wide and 9cm long hollow handle in the middle of the short sides at both ends of the turnover basket, near the top, which is mainly used for manual transportation of the turnover basket and tying of shoulder straps.

[0011] Furthermore, the partition is made of plywood with a thickness of 0.5 cm and obvious deep and shallow sides, a total length of 28.4 cm and a width of 20 cm. The four corners of the partition are provided with protruding card plates with a length of 2.5 cm and a width of 0.5 cm, and the protruding card plates match the size of the side holes.

[0012] Furthermore, there are two partitions, which separate the inner wall of the turnover basket to form a middle area. The partitions at both ends of the middle area have different shades of color. One end of the turnover basket is isolated as a mature large fruit area, and the partition surface color in the mature large fruit area is dark. The other end of the turnover basket is isolated as an extra-large fruit area, and the partition surface color in the extra-large fruit area is light. The two protruding clamps at each end of the partition can be just clamped in the top and bottom two side holes in the same position and the same column on both sides of the turnover basket, which can facilitate installation and disassembly, and the position of the partition can also be adjusted as needed. More importantly, the two plywood partitions have two sides of dark and light. In the middle area separated by the two plywood partitions of the turnover basket, the middle area has the largest space, which mainly stores 80% mature large-fruit hollow plums. The mature large fruit area mainly stores 90% mature large-fruit hollow plums. The extra-large fruit area is an alternative area, which mainly stores extra-large hollow plums.

[0013] Furthermore, the shoulder strap is 2.0m long, 4cm wide, 3mm thick, and made of cotton or polypropylene. The buckles at both ends are fastened to the hollow handle surfaces at both ends of the turnover basket, making it easy to adjust the length of the middle shoulder strap and unfasten the buckle. The length of the middle shoulder strap makes the bottom of the basket reach the waist for comfortable cross-body wearing.

[0014] Furthermore, marking plates are fixed on both sides of the turnover basket, and there is a non-hollowed markable area of ​​12 cm long and 8 cm wide in the upper middle part of each long side of the turnover basket for marking the turnover basket.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are:

[0016] (1) Plywood is used instead of cardboard as a partition, which has greater hardness and will not cause deformation when loading fruits and will not cause different fruits to be mixed in the basket.

[0017] (2) The use of a rectangular hollow plastic turnover basket with rectangular side holes can make the partition simple to process and easy to place or remove.

[0018] (3) The partitions are placed parallel to the short side of the turnover basket. The partitions can be placed according to actual needs to flexibly adjust the volume of each compartment in the basket.

[0019] (4) The use of a shoulder strap diagonal sorting basket is more comfortable and suitable for people to pick fruits. It can be picked and placed gently to minimize damage to the fruits and the fruit powder on their surface. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The four corners of the partition 5 are all provided with a protruding card plate 6 with a length of 2.5cm and a width of 0.5cm. The protruding card plate 6 is matched with the size of the side hole 2. There are two partitions 5. The partition 5 separates the inner wall of the turnover basket 1 to form an intermediate area 12. The partitions 5 at both ends of the intermediate area 12 have different colors. One end of the turnover basket 1 is isolated as a mature large fruit area 10. The board color of the partition 5 in the mature large fruit area 10 is dark. The other end of the turnover basket 1 is isolated as an extra-large fruit area 11. The board color of the partition 5 in the extra-large fruit area 11 is light. The two protruding card plates 6 at each end of the partition 5 can be just stuck on the top and bottom two in the same position and the same column on both sides of the turnover basket 1. Side holes 2, so that it is convenient for installation and disassembly, and the position of the partition 5 can also be adjusted as needed. More importantly, the two plywood partitions 5 have two deep and shallow sides. The middle area 12 separated by the two plywood partitions 5 in the turnover basket 1 has the largest space, mainly storing eight-mature large-fruit hollow plums, the mature large-fruit area 10 mainly stores nine-mature large-fruit hollow plums, and the extra-large fruit area 11 is an alternative area, mainly storing extra-large hollow plums. There is a hollow handle 8 with a width of 5 cm and a length of 9 cm in the middle of the short sides at both ends of the turnover basket 1 near the top, which is mainly used for manual transportation of the turnover basket 1 and the need to tie the shoulder strap 9. The turnover basket 1 is fixed with a shoulder strap 9 at both ends. The shoulder strap 9 is 2.0m long and 4c wide. m, 3mm thick, made of cotton or polypropylene, with buckles at both ends fastened to the surface of the hollow handles 8 at both ends of the turnover basket 1, which is convenient for adjusting the length of the middle shoulder strap 9 and untying the buckle. The length of the middle shoulder strap 9 makes the bottom of the basket reach the waist for comfortable diagonal shoulder wear. Marking plates 7 are fixedly provided on both sides of the turnover basket 1. There is a 12cm long and 8cm wide non-hollow markable area in the middle and upper parts of the two long sides of the turnover basket 1, which is used to mark the turnover basket 1. A bottom plate 13 is fixedly provided under the turnover basket 1, and a number of square reinforcement plates 14 are evenly arranged on the surface of the bottom plate 13. Leakage holes 15 are symmetrically opened on the surface of the square reinforcement plates 14. The plastic turnover basket 1, plywood and shoulder straps 9 required for the device of the present invention can all be purchased online.

[0032] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0033] First, batch sawn plywood partitions 5 and short-cut shoulder straps 9 are taken to the hollow plum orchard together with a corresponding number of plastic turnover baskets 1 and sand hollow plum fruit picking manual size grading tool cards, as well as a corresponding number of galvanized iron ribbons about 25 cm long and 0.3 mm thick. Secondly, the overall size and maturity of the fruits in the orchard are inspected, and the maximum horizontal diameter of the lower limit fruit of large fruit is 36.0-36.5mm and the maximum horizontal diameter of the lower limit fruit of extra-large fruit is 40.0-40.5mm. The suture line is intended to be attached to the left wrist, and the iron wire is used to string the two lower limit fruits on the upper side. The extra large fruits are located on the left side and tied to the wrist; if the extra large fruits cannot be picked, only the large fruits and the lower limit fruits are tied. The plastic turnover basket 1 only needs one plywood partition 5. The turnover basket 1 only separates two areas to distinguish the maturity of the large fruits. The plywood partition 5 between the two areas is placed 8-9 cm close to the right end of the turnover basket 1 at the beginning of picking, and the dark side of the partition 5 needs to face the right end of the turnover basket 1. Later, as the number of mature large fruits increases, it needs to be gradually moved to the left end to increase the volume of the mature large fruit area 10. Next, assemble the picking turnover basket 1 and fasten the shoulder strap 9, and then carry it according to the steps. Figure 6 In the middle tying method, the two ends of the strap 9 are respectively tied to the hollow handles 8 at the two ends of the turnover basket 1, so that the length of the strap 9 between the two handles after the actual tying is 100-120cm. The tightness of the slipknot 16 is adjusted by the rope segment 17 and the slipknot 16 without sliding and pulling the rope segment 17 to adjust the length of the strap 9, so that the upper edge of the turnover basket 1 is close to the ribs below the waist of the fruit picker. Then, according to the size and fruit surface first, and then the hardness and elasticity of the fruit surface are gently pinched by hand to judge whether the fruit can meet the picking requirements. For the fruit that meets the requirements, the fruit handle is gently twisted to pick the fruit with the fruit handle together, and then put into the corresponding partition of the turnover basket 1; when it is not sure whether the size of the fruit meets the requirements, it is compared with the reference fruit on the wrist. If it is close but still uncertain, the fruit size is processed according to the lower size; when a certain interval is full, the basket is changed and the next basket is picked. Finally, the baskets are transported to the boxing location. The turnover baskets 1 can be stably overlapped and placed on top of each other through the bottom outer edge 3 and the top outer edge 4, and finally the classification and boxing are completed, thereby achieving high-quality sorting of the heart plums by size or maturity.

[0034] By using the above-mentioned Shazi hollow plum fruit picking turnover basket 1, it is possible to achieve better sorting of Shazi hollow plum fruit size and maturity while picking, and at the same time, it is also possible to reduce insect fruit and fruit surface spots and fruit damage, and it is also possible to reduce fruit powder damage. Fruit picking is strictly carried out with the fruit stalk, which can reduce mechanical damage to the connection between the fruit stalk and the fruit, thereby extending the freshness period of the fruit during express transportation by 1-2 days.

[0035] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention, and the common knowledge such as the known specific technical solutions or characteristics in the solution is not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the technical solution of the present invention, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection required by this application shall be based on the content of its claims, and the specific implementation methods and other records in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
