Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of fruit picking equipment, and specifically relates to a handheld apple picking device. Background Art

[0002] As the world's largest apple producer, China's planting area and total output account for about 50% of the world's total. In the apple production process, picking is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive part. At present, mechanized apple picking is mainly divided into three types: claw type, vacuum type and shear type. Among them, shear pickers have become the main force of apple picking in China due to their simple structure and strong adaptability. Considering the wide range of apple planting areas in China and the complex and changeable terrain, shear pickers can flexibly cope with different terrains and orchard layouts, and can operate in both hilly areas and plain orchards. At the same time, the operation and maintenance of shear pickers are relatively simple, and the cost is low. They are suitable for the economic conditions of the majority of farmers in my country and are easy to promote and popularize.

[0003] Referring to the document with the existing publication (announcement) number CN111642242A, a fruit harvesting device is disclosed, including a hand-held rod, a picking mechanism, and a collecting mechanism, wherein the picking mechanism includes scissors, a hinge, a rotating connection, a pull head, a return spring, a wire rope and a spring mounting plate, and a rotatable hand brake is also fixedly provided on the hand-held rod; the scissors are a four-bar mechanism, the blades of the scissors are hingedly connected by the hinge, the rotating connection is fixedly provided on the pull head, and the end of the scissors is rotatably connected to the rotating connection.

[0004] For example, during the picking process, the above-mentioned shear-type picker cuts off the connection between the apple branch and the fruit stalk by closing the scissor blades. However, during the picking process, the apple is divided into three parts, namely the branch part, the fruit stalk part and the fruit part. For details, please refer to the attached Figure 1. Among the three parts of an apple, the branch part is the lignified part. In the process of picking with a shear picker, it is difficult to manually observe whether the cutting position is located on the branch part or the fruit stalk part due to the obstruction of leaves and trunks. If the branch part is cut, due to the high degree of lignification of the branch, its hardness and toughness are much greater than the fruit stalk. When such branches are placed in a basket, due to their long length and hard wooden structure, it is easy to poke other apples during stacking or transportation. The hardness of the branch makes it impossible for it to bend or deform easily when it comes into contact with other apples, unlike the soft fruit stalk, but it will maintain its original shape, so that the sharp wooden end can easily penetrate or damage the peel of other apples, causing damage. There is a non-lignified abscission zone at the connection between the apple and the branch, which is more likely to break during the picking process. For details, please refer to "Design and Experiment of a Drive-Controlled Rotary Fruit Picking Actuator" (Yan Tongjie, Feng Qingchun, Guo Xin, Yang Ning. Design and Experiment of a Drive-Controlled Rotary Fruit Picking Actuator [J]. Agricultural Mechanization Research, 2025 (3): 49). At the same time, the apple stalk cannot be cut too short. If the stalk is too short, the moisture in the air will evaporate more easily from the fruit stalk, causing the apple to lose water too quickly, accelerating the wilting and aging of the apple, and shortening its shelf life. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of this solution is to provide a handheld apple picking device to solve the problem that the existing picking device is not positioned at the delamination area of ​​the apple stalk during picking.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a handheld apple picking device, comprising a handheld rod and a shearing assembly arranged on the handheld rod, and also comprising a positioning assembly, wherein the positioning assembly comprises: A bracket, wherein the bracket is arranged on the hand-held rod; A sleeve, wherein the sleeve is a sleeve having a through hole in the middle, and the sleeve comprises a first sleeve and a second sleeve which are symmetrically arranged and are respectively arranged on the bracket; The fan blades include a first fan blade and a second fan blade, wherein the first fan blade and the second fan blade are slidably disposed on the first sleeve and the second sleeve respectively; A driving unit, the driving unit is used to drive the first sleeve and the second sleeve to move relative to each other so as to clamp the fruit handle; The air blowing unit is arranged in the bracket, and the air blowing unit is used to blow the first fan blade and the second fan blade.

[0007] The principle of this scheme is that the operator holds the hand-held rod and moves the sleeve to both sides of the fruit stem of the apple to be picked, so that the lower ends of the first sleeve and the second sleeve contact the apple, and then the first sleeve and the second sleeve are driven by the driving unit to move relative to each other, so that the first sleeve and the second sleeve clamp the fruit stem. Then the air blows vertically upward through the blowing unit, so that the first blade and the second blade rotate and rise. Since the diameter of the separation zone of the fruit stem is larger than the rest of the fruit stem, the first blade and the second blade are stuck after rising to the separation zone, so as to be positioned in the separation zone of the apple stem, and finally the shearing assembly is used to shear the position, so as to cut off the apple stem and make it fall.

[0008] The effects of this solution are as follows: (1) This solution locates the cutting position at the abscission zone of the fruit stalk and cuts the fruit stalk at this position, making the fruit stalk easier to break and requiring less shearing force, thereby improving the picking efficiency. At the same time, since this position is not woody, the free end of the fruit stalk is relatively soft, so that after the cut apples are placed in the basket, the fruit stalk will not poke other apples. (2) In the process of cutting the fruit stalk in the prior art, due to the obstruction of the fruit stalk leaves, the operator's field of vision clarity is reduced, making it difficult for the operator to accurately determine the cutting position. In the process of locating the fruit stalk, this solution can use the blowing unit to blow out a smaller amount of wind (i.e., less than the wind volume of the first and second blades), so that the leaves on the fruit stalk are displaced upward or floated away, thereby reducing the obstruction of the operator's field of vision by the leaves.

[0009] Furthermore, the bracket includes a connecting rod and a support rod, the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the end of the hand-held rod, the support rod is two groups of support rods symmetrically arranged, and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting rod, the support rod is connected to a connecting rod, and the free end of the connecting rod is connected to a cross rod.

[0010] The principle and effect of this solution are: the middle part of the bracket formed by the above structure is hollow, and the apples are located in the hollow area when picking apples, which makes it easy for the operator to observe and reduces the collision between the apples and the bracket.

[0011] Furthermore, the number of the driving units is two groups, and they are symmetrically arranged in two cross bars respectively. The driving unit includes a driving rod and a first electromagnet. The number of the driving rods is two, and the two driving rods are fixedly connected to the first sleeve and the second sleeve respectively. The driving rod is slidably arranged in the cross bar. The driving rod is penetrated by a spring for resetting the driving rod. The free end of the driving rod is provided with a permanent magnet. The first electromagnet is arranged in the cross bar and is arranged in cooperation with the permanent magnet.

[0012] The principle and effect of this solution are as follows: when the first electromagnet is energized, the first electromagnet and the permanent magnet repel each other, causing the permanent magnet to move away from the first electromagnet, thereby pushing the drive rod to move and stretching the spring, causing the first sleeve and the second sleeve to move in opposite directions, thereby clamping the fruit handle. When the first electromagnet loses power, the spring drives the drive rod to reset, causing the first sleeve and the second sleeve to move in opposite directions, thereby releasing the grip on the fruit handle.

[0013] Furthermore, the blowing unit is a blower, and the blower is arranged in a connecting rod. A switch button is provided at the head end of the hand-held rod, and the switch button is electrically connected to the blower; the switch button is electrically connected to the first electromagnet.

[0014] The principle and effect of this solution are: the blower blows air upwards, thereby driving the first blade and the second blade to rotate. A switch button is set to control the start and stop of the blower and the on and off of the first electromagnet.

[0015] Furthermore, the shearing assembly includes a cutter and a second electromagnet, the cutter is slidably disposed in the rotating shaft of the first fan blade, the second electromagnet is disposed in the rotating shaft of the second fan blade, the second electromagnet is used to attract the cutter, and the second electromagnet is electrically connected to the switch button.

[0016] The principle and effect of this scheme are as follows: (1) When the operator observes that the first blade and the second blade rise and rotate and continue to rotate at this position, it means that the first blade and the second blade on the surface have been positioned in the delamination zone. At this time, press the switch button again to energize the second electromagnet to attract the cutter, so that the cutter cuts the delamination zone and the apple falls. (2) Since the moisture content of each apple's delamination zone is not consistent, even if the cutter cuts the delamination zone, it may not be able to cut off the fruit stalk in one go. Since the first blade and the second blade drive the cutter to rotate synchronously, the cutting force and cutting speed of the cutter will be increased, making it easier to cut off the fruit stalk.

[0017] Furthermore, a guide block is provided on the back of the cutter, and the guide block is connected to a compression spring, and the other end of the compression spring is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0018] The principle and effect of this solution are: the pre-tightening force of the compression spring is used to push the cutter to move relative to each other, so that the blade clamps the fruit stalk, making it easier to cut the fruit stalk.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes a collecting component, which includes a net sleeve and a floating plate. The net sleeve is a net sleeve with an opening on the top, and the bag body of the net sleeve is arranged in the connecting rod; the sleeve mouth of the net sleeve is arranged on the floating plate, and the floating plate is slidably connected to the connecting rod.

[0020] The principle and effect of this solution are as follows: (1) The existing hand-held picking device will be equipped with a picking cover to collect the apples that have been cut and dropped. Since the picking cover is exposed to the outside, it is easy to be stuck by branches and leaves during the movement, thus affecting the picking efficiency. And after the apples are picked, a net cover needs to be set to protect the fruit during transportation. (2) Before picking the apples, this solution stores the bag body of a single net cover in the connecting rod, so that the hand-held rod is not easily stuck by branches and leaves during the movement. When picking apples, while the first and second blades rotate, the wind blown by the blower will blow the floating plate upward, thereby driving the bag body of the net cover away from the connecting rod, and driving the mouth of the net cover to cover the apple, and then moving the mouth to the top of the apple. After the apple is cut and dropped, the gravity of the apple drives the net cover to fall, so that the mouth of the net cover is separated from the floating plate, thereby realizing the picking and bagging of the apple. (3) This solution stores the net cover in the connecting rod, avoiding the problem that the existing picking cover is easily stuck by branches and leaves during the movement. At the same time, during the picking process, the blower is used to move the floating plate upward to drive the net to cover the apples, which can reduce the subsequent steps of bagging the apples. Most importantly, the net can provide a buffer for the apples to fall when they are cut and fall, avoiding damage to the apples.

[0021] Furthermore, the net sleeve is a foam mesh-shaped net sleeve, a slot is provided on the floating plate, and the mouth of the net sleeve is sleeved in the slot; and a collection basket for receiving apples is provided on the hand-held rod.

[0022] The principle and effect of this scheme are as follows: (1) The net is a pearl cotton fruit net, that is, the net used for apples on the market. (2) A card slot is provided to insert the mouth of the net into the card slot, and when the apple falls, the apple drives the net to fall, so that the mouth of the net is separated from the card slot. (3) A collection basket is provided to collect the fallen apples.

[0023] The flexible net can be retracted into the connecting rod, so that when the device is moved, the net can be prevented from being stuck by branches and leaves. After the apples are taken out of the net, the counterweight drives the net to retract into the connecting rod and drives the slider and the pull rope to reset.

[0024] Furthermore, the floating plate is connected to a slider, the slider is slidably arranged in the connecting rod, and the slider is connected to a pull rope for resetting the slider.

[0025] The principle and effect of this solution are: when the first fan blade and the second fan blade rotate to drive the pull rope, the pull rope is pulled by the slider, so that the pull rope moves in the connecting rod and the cross rod to drive and tighten the net sleeve.

[0026] Furthermore, a limit block is provided at the free end of the driving rod, a sliding groove is provided in the cross bar, and the driving rod is slidably connected to the sliding groove; a guide groove is provided in the connecting rod, and the sliding block is slidably arranged in the guide groove.

[0027] The principle and effect of this solution are as follows: the limit block is used to limit the dislocation of the free end of the driving rod; the sliding groove and the guide groove provide positioning and guiding functions for the movement of the driving rod and the sliding block respectively.

[0030] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept and technical effects of the present invention in combination with the embodiments, so as to fully understand the purpose, features and effects of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present invention: See also Figure 2 A handheld apple picking device comprises a handheld rod 1, a handle is provided at the bottom of the handheld rod 1, and a shearing component 2, a positioning component 3 and a collecting component 4 are provided at the top of the handheld rod 1.

[0031] See also Figure 3and Figure 4 The positioning assembly 3 includes a bracket 31 and a sleeve 32. The bracket 31 includes a connecting rod 311 and a support rod 312. The connecting rod 311 is fixedly connected to the end (top) of the hand-held rod 1. The support rods 312 are two groups of support rods 312 that are symmetrically arranged and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting rod 311. One end of the support rod 312 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 311 by bolts. The free end of the support rod 312 is connected to a connecting rod 313 by bolts. The free end of the connecting rod 313 is connected to a cross bar 314. The bracket 31 formed by the above structure has a hollow middle portion. When picking apples, the apples 5 are located in the hollow area, which makes it easy for the operator to observe and reduces the collision between the apples 5 and the bracket 31.

[0032] A driving unit is provided in the cross bar 314, and the driving unit is used to drive the first sleeve 321 and the second sleeve 322 to move relative to each other so as to clamp the fruit handle. The driving unit includes a driving rod 34 and a first electromagnet 35. The driving rod 34 is slidably arranged in the cross bar 314, a slide groove is provided in the cross bar 314, and the driving rod 34 is slidably connected with the slide groove. A limit block is provided at the free end of the driving rod 34, and a spring 36 for returning the driving rod 34 is penetrated by the driving rod 34, one end of the spring 36 contacts the limit block, and the other end is fixedly connected with the driving rod 34, and a permanent magnet 37 is provided at the free end of the driving rod 34. The first electromagnet 35 is provided in the cross bar 314, and the first electromagnet 35 is used to repel the permanent magnet 37 after being energized. A switch button and a controller are provided on the handle, and the controller is electrically connected with the first electromagnet 35 and the switch button. One end of the two sets of driving rods 34 is fixedly connected to the first sleeve 321 and the second sleeve 322, respectively, and the first sleeve 321 and the second sleeve 322 are slidably provided with the first blade 331 and the second blade 332. A blower unit is also provided in the connecting rod 311, and the blower unit is used to blow the first blade 331 and the second blade 332 to rotate. The blower unit of this solution adopts a blower (not shown in the figure), and the blower is electrically connected to a controller, and the controller is electrically connected to the switch button on the handle.

[0033] Specific working principle: The operator holds the hand-held rod 1. If the apple 5 to be picked is blocked by leaves, the operator can first control the blower to blow out a smaller wind (i.e., less than the wind volume of the first blade 331 and the second blade 332) upwards, so that the leaves on the fruit stalk 51 are displaced upward or drifted away, thereby reducing the leaves from blocking the operator's field of vision. Then, the first sleeve 321 and the second sleeve 322 are moved to both sides of the fruit stalk 51 of the apple 5 to be picked, so that the lower ends of the first sleeve 321 and the second sleeve 322 are in contact with the apple 5, and then the first electromagnet 35 is energized by toggling the switch button, so that the first electromagnet 35 and the permanent magnet 37 repel each other, so that the permanent magnet 37 is away from the first electromagnet 35, thereby pushing the driving rod 34 to move and stretching the spring 36, so that the first sleeve 321 and the second sleeve 322 move in opposite directions, thereby clamping the fruit stalk 51. When the first electromagnet 35 loses power, the spring 36 drives the driving rod 34 to reset, so that the first sleeve 321 and the second sleeve 322 move in opposite directions, thereby releasing the grip on the fruit stem 51. After the fruit stem 51 is clamped, the blower blows air vertically upward, so that the first blade 331 and the second blade 332 rotate and rise. Since the diameter of the separation zone 52 of the fruit stem 51 is larger than the rest of the fruit stem 51, the first blade 331 and the second blade 332 rise to the separation zone 52 and get stuck, thereby positioning at the separation zone 52 of the apple fruit stem 51. Finally, the shearing assembly 2 shears the position, thereby cutting off the apple 5 fruit stem 51 and causing it to fall.

[0034] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 The shearing assembly 2 includes a cutter 21 and a second electromagnet 22. The cutter 21 is slidably arranged in the rotating shaft of the first fan blade 331. The second electromagnet 22 is arranged in the rotating shaft of the second fan blade 332. The second electromagnet 22 is used to attract the cutter 21. The cutter 21 adopts a magnetic cutter 21. The second electromagnet 22 is electrically connected to the switch button; the back of the cutter 21 is provided with a guide block 23, and the guide block 23 is connected to a compression spring 24. The other end of the compression spring 24 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The pre-tightening force of the compression spring 24 pushes the cutter 21 to move relative to each other, so that the blade clamps the fruit handle to facilitate cutting the fruit handle 51.

[0035] Specific working principle: When the operator observes that the first blade 331 and the second blade 332 are rising and rotating and keep rotating at this position, it means that the first blade 331 and the second blade 332 have been positioned at the separation zone 52. At this time, the switch button is pressed again to energize the second electromagnet 22 to attract the cutter 21, so that the cutter 21 cuts the separation zone 52 and the apple 5 falls. And because the first blade 331 and the second blade 332 drive the cutter 21 to rotate synchronously, the cutting force and cutting speed of the cutter 21 will be increased, so that it is easier to cut the fruit stem 51.

[0036] See also Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The collecting assembly 4 includes a net cover 41 and a floating plate 42. The net cover 41 is a net cover 41 with an opening at the top, and the bag body of the net cover 41 is arranged in the connecting rod 311; the net cover 41 is a net cover 41 with a foam mesh shape, and the net cover 41 is a pearl cotton fruit net cover 41, that is, the net cover 41 set for apples 5 on the market; a card slot 421 is provided on the floating plate 42, and the sleeve of the net cover 41 is set in the card slot 421. When the apple 5 falls, the apple 5 drives the net cover 41 to fall, so that the sleeve of the net cover 41 is separated from the card slot 421. The floating plate 42 is connected to a slider 43, and a guide groove is provided in the connecting rod 313. The slider 43 is slidably arranged in the guide groove, and the guide groove is used to provide a guiding function for the movement of the slider 43. The slider 43 is connected to a pull rope 44 for resetting the slider 43. In order to ensure that the opening of the net sleeve 41 can be inserted into the apple 5, an additional set of brackets 31 can be provided, that is, three sets of brackets 31 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the central axis of the hand-held rod 1, so that the three positions of the opening of the net sleeve 41 can be pulled open to insert the apple 5. The hand-held rod 1 is also provided with a collection basket (not shown in the figure) for receiving the apple 5.

[0037] Specific working principle: Before picking apples 5, the bag body of a single net bag 41 is stored and placed in the connecting rod 311, so that the net bag 41 is not easily caught by branches and leaves during the movement of the hand-held rod 1. When picking apples 5, while the first blade 331 and the second blade 332 rotate, the wind blown by the blower will blow the floating plate 42 upward and drive the slider 43 to move in the connecting rod 313, thereby driving the bag body of the net bag 41 away from the connecting rod 311, and driving the mouth of the net bag 411 to cover the apple 5, and then move the mouth to the top of the apple 5 (see Figure 6 ). After the apples 5 are cut and dropped, the gravity of the apples 5 drives the net 41 to fall, so that the mouth of the net 41 is separated from the floating plate 42, so that the apples 5 can be picked and bagged. During the picking process, the blower is used to blow the floating plate 42 upward to drive the net 41 to cover the apples 5, which can reduce the subsequent steps of bagging the apples 5. Most importantly, when the apples 5 are cut and dropped, the net 41 can provide a buffer for the apples 5 to fall and prevent the apples 5 from being damaged.

[0038] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention, and the common knowledge such as the known specific structure and characteristics in the scheme is not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several deformations and improvements can be made without departing from the structure 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.
