A handle is arranged on the telescopic rod; a control system is arranged in the handle, and a plurality of control buttons are arranged on the handle; a supporting ring is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod, and a power source is arranged in the supporting ring. According to the navel orange picking device, a telescopic rod is manually driven to move upwards and shake at the same time, then a limiting ring is driven to shake, a guide slope on the limiting ring is gradually inserted upwards into a gap between a navel orange to be picked and a navel orange beside the navel orange, the navel orange beside the navel orange is guided and pushed outwards through continuous shaking of the guide slope, and the navel orange picking efficiency is improved. The navel oranges are moved in the direction away from the to-be-picked navel oranges, so that the situation that the navel oranges cannot move to the position below the mounting ring relative to the mounting ring due to the fact that the navel oranges block the supporting ring to move upwards is avoided, and then the situation that picking operation is interfered when the navel oranges are too many is effectively avoided.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of navel orange picking, and particularly to a navel orange picker. Background Art

[0002] Currently, when picking navel oranges, since navel orange trees usually grow in hilly mountainous areas, the navel orange picking devices used in flat areas cannot be used. When picking navel oranges at high places, it is necessary to climb a ladder manually to pick the navel oranges, which is highly dangerous. There is also a way to pick navel oranges with a long-handled scissors. However, due to the inconsistent hanging directions of different navel oranges and the fact that navel oranges are usually clustered together, during the picking process, other navel oranges and branches will block the movement of the scissors, making it difficult to use the long-handled scissors to approach the branches of the navel oranges and cut them off, resulting in inconvenient picking. At the same time, there are a large number of leaves around the navel oranges, and the leaves will also block the navel orange branches, so when manually using a long-handled scissors to pick navel oranges, it is necessary to push aside the leaves to pick the navel oranges, and the picking efficiency is low; Moreover, after picking the navel oranges, the navel orange branches are too long, and it is necessary to manually trim the navel orange branches again, and the operation is cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the disadvantages that the existing device is difficult to approach the branches of navel oranges to cut them off, and after picking the navel oranges, secondary pruning is required and the operation is cumbersome, the present invention provides a navel orange picker.

[0004] The technical solution is as follows: A navel orange picker includes a telescopic rod and a support ring; a handle is provided on the telescopic rod; a control system is built in the handle, and several control buttons are provided on the handle; a support ring is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod, and a power supply is arranged inside the support ring; it further includes an installation ring and a cutting assembly; the installation ring is fixedly connected to the support ring; a cutting assembly for cutting branches is connected to the installation ring.

[0005] Preferably, the cutting assembly includes a fixed ring, an electric rotating shaft and a cutter; the fixed ring is fixedly connected to the upper side of the installation ring; two electric rotating shafts are connected to the fixed ring and are distributed up and down; a semi-circular cutter for cutting branches is fixedly connected to the rotating part of each of the two electric rotating shafts.

[0006] Preferably, it further includes a corrugated pipe and a guiding cylinder; a corrugated pipe for guiding the navel oranges to fall is arranged inside the support ring; the corrugated pipe is fixedly connected and communicated with the guiding cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, it also includes a micro pump, a micro electric push rod, a limit ring and a first directional airbag; the micro pump is fixedly connected to the support ring; a number of micro electric push rods are fixedly connected to the support ring; the telescopic end of the micro electric push rod is fixedly connected to the limit ring; the first directional airbag for clamping branches is fixedly connected to the inner side of the limit ring; the inner side of the first directional airbag is the contraction end; the first directional airbag is connected to the micro pump through a telescopic air tube.

[0008] Preferably, a second directional airbag is also included; the second directional airbag for clamping and limiting branches is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting ring; the inner side of the first directional airbag is a contraction end; the second directional airbag is connected to the micro pump through an air tube.

[0009] Preferably, the upper layer of the second directional airbag is made of hard material.

[0010] Preferably, a screen is provided on the lower side of the guide cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, a guiding slope is arranged on the upper side of the limiting ring.

[0012] As a preference, it further comprises a shoulder strap, a cushion and a support block; the shoulder strap is arranged on the lower side of the telescopic rod; the cushion is fixedly connected to the right side of the shoulder strap; the support block is fixedly connected to the cushion; and a through groove is provided on the support block.

[0013] Preferably, rubber particles are arranged on the inner wall of the through groove.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention realizes that the telescopic rod is manually driven to move upward and shaken at the same time, thereby driving the limit ring to shake, so that the guide slope on the limit ring gradually inserts upward into the gap between the navel orange to be picked and the adjacent navel orange, and the adjacent navel orange is guided and pushed outward by the continuous shaking of the guide slope, so that the adjacent navel orange is moved away from the navel orange to be picked, thereby preventing the adjacent navel orange from blocking the support ring from moving upward, resulting in the navel orange failing to move relative to the mounting ring to below the mounting ring, thereby effectively preventing interference with the picking operation when there are many navel oranges; By inserting the navel orange into the support ring, the installation ring and the fixing ring, and then cutting the branches, the navel orange is picked by using long-handled scissors, so that when picking the navel orange, it is not necessary to push away the leaves first before picking the navel orange; Drive the clamped branches upward through the first directional airbag. When the navel oranges connected to the branches move upward to be in close contact with the lower side of the second directional airbag, when the upper side of the navel orange contacts the lower side of the second directional airbag, continue to drive the navel orange upward through the first directional airbag to squeeze the second directional airbag, causing the second directional airbag to undergo adaptive deformation, so that the upper end of the navel orange is as close as possible to the cutter. At the same time, through the hard upper layer of the second directional airbag, the upper layer of the second directional airbag is always kept flat, thus avoiding the cutter from touching the second directional airbag and causing the second directional airbag to be cut. At the same time, make the upper end of the navel orange close to the cutter, and the branches at the end of the navel orange are closer to the cutter. After the branches are cut off, the remaining branches on the navel orange are shorter, so there is no need for manual shearing of the branches, reducing the manual labor intensity and effectively improving the picking efficiency of navel oranges; When the staff is picking navel oranges, they can put on the harness so that the soft pad and the support block are located in front of the chest. Then insert the lower end of the telescopic rod into the through groove of the support block, and then tilt the telescopic rod against the through groove. The inner wall of the through groove abuts and supports the telescopic rod to reduce the support pressure on the hand and effectively relieve the fatigue of the staff. At the same time, buffer through the soft pad to avoid generating a large squeezing force on the staff's chest when supporting the telescopic rod through the support block, causing discomfort to the staff. And by placing the telescopic rod on the through groove of the support block, the staff can free their hands when there is a call or they need to make a call during the picking process.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0020] The following is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the protection scope of the present invention accordingly. Embodiment 1

[0021] As Figures 1-4 shown, a navel orange picker includes a telescopic rod 1 and a support ring 2; a handle 1001 is provided on the telescopic rod 1; a control system is built in the handle 1001, and several control buttons are provided on the handle 1001; a support ring 2 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod 1, and a power supply is arranged inside the support ring 2. It further includes a mounting ring 3 and a cutting assembly; the mounting ring 3 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the support ring 2; the cutting assembly is connected to the mounting ring 3.

[0022] The cutting assembly includes a fixed ring 4, an electric rotating shaft 101 and a cutter 102; the fixed ring 4 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the mounting ring 3; two electric rotating shafts 101 distributed up and down are connected to the fixed ring 4; a semi-circular cutter 102 is fixedly connected to the rotating part of each of the two electric rotating shafts 101.

[0023] It further includes a corrugated pipe 5 and a guiding cylinder 6; the corrugated pipe 5 is arranged inside the support ring 2; the lower side of the corrugated pipe 5 is fixedly connected and communicated with the guiding cylinder 6.

[0024] It further includes a micro pump 201, a micro electric push rod 301, a limiting ring 302 and a first directional airbag 303; the micro pump 201 is fixedly connected inside the support ring 2; two micro electric push rods 301 are fixedly connected to the support ring 2; the telescopic end of the micro electric push rod 301 is fixedly connected with the limiting ring 302; the first directional airbag 303 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the limiting ring 302; the inner side of the first directional airbag 303 is the contraction end; the first directional airbag 303 is communicated with the micro pump 201 through a telescopic air pipe.

[0025] It further includes a second directional airbag 401; the second directional airbag 401 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting ring 3; the inner side of the first directional airbag 303 is the contraction end; the second directional airbag 401 is communicated with the micro pump 201 through an air pipe.

[0026] The upper layer of the second directional airbag 401 is made of a hard material.

[0027] A screen 6001 is arranged on the lower side of the guiding cylinder 6.

[0028] A guiding inclined surface 30201 is arranged on the upper side of the limiting ring 302.

[0029] During operation, connect the micro electric push rod 301 and the micro pump 201 to the power supply on the support ring 2. Place a storage box at the lower opening of the guiding cylinder 6, and make the lower opening of the guiding cylinder 6 engage and fix with the storage box. Then, extend the telescopic rod 1 to a certain length, and the corrugated pipe 5 is stretched and unfolded accordingly. Then, the operator holds the lower side of the telescopic rod 1 and adjusts the angle of the telescopic rod 1 to move the support ring 2 directly below the navel orange 7 to be picked, and make the support ring 2 parallel to the navel orange 7 to be picked, so as to facilitate the picking of the navel orange 7. Then, push the telescopic rod 1 upward. The telescopic rod 1 drives the support ring 2, the mounting ring 3 and the fixing ring 4 to move upward, so that the navel orange 7 to be picked directly above the support ring 2 enters the interior of the support ring 2, the mounting ring 3 and the fixing ring 4. It should be noted that at this time, the limiting ring 302 is in contact with the fixing ring 4. When the operator observes that the navel orange 7 to be picked completely enters the support ring 2, the mounting ring 3 and the fixing ring 4, that is, when the navel orange 7 to be picked is blocked by the support ring 2, the mounting ring 3 and the fixing ring 4, stop pushing the telescopic rod 1 upward. At this time, the navel orange 7 is located below the mounting ring 3, and the branch 71 connected to the navel orange 7 is located in the middle of the fixing ring 4 and the limiting ring 302. Then, as Figure 4 shown, control the micro pump 201 to inflate the second directional airbag 401, so that the second directional airbag 401 expands and elongates, thereby clamping the branch 71 of the navel orange 7 through the second directional airbag 401. At the same time, the micro pump 201 also inflates the first directional airbag 303, so that the first directional airbag 303 expands and expands, thereby clamping the upper part of the branch 71 through the first directional airbag 303. Then, control the micro electric push rod 301 to push the limiting ring 302 upward. The limiting ring 302 drives the first directional airbag 303 to move upward, and then drives the branch 71 clamped by the first directional airbag 303 to move upward, so that the navel orange 7 connected to the branch 71 moves upward to closely fit the lower side of the second directional airbag 401. Then, control the two electric rotating shafts 101 to drive the corresponding cutting knives 102 to rotate towards each other respectively, so as to cut the branch 71 by the cooperation of the two cutting knives 102, and separate the navel orange 7 from the connected branch 71. During this process, the branch 71 is pulled upward by the first directional airbag 303, and the branch 71 is limited by the second directional airbag 401. Thus, through the cooperation of the first directional airbag 303 and the second directional airbag 401, the branch 71 is kept in a tight and fixed state, effectively preventing the branch 71 from shifting when the cutting knife 102 cuts the branch 71, resulting in cutting failure; When there are more navel oranges 7 above the support ring 2 and the distance between the navel oranges 7 is small, during the process of pushing the telescopic rod 1 upward and putting the navel orange 7 directly above the support ring 2 into the support ring 2, the mounting ring 3 and the fixing ring 4, by manually driving the telescopic rod 1 to shake, the limiting ring 302 is driven to shake, so that the guiding slope 30201 on the limiting ring 302 gradually inserts upward into the gap between the navel orange 7 to be picked and the adjacent navel orange 7, and by continuously shaking the guiding slope 30201, the adjacent navel orange 7 is guided and pushed outward, making it move away from the navel orange 7 to be picked, thus avoiding the adjacent navel orange 7 from blocking the upward movement of the support ring 2, and effectively avoiding interference with the picking operation when there are more navel oranges 7; Here it should be noted that the navel oranges 7 are yellow and the leaves are green. The navel oranges 7 are more conspicuous than the leaves, so the operator can quickly find the navel oranges 7, and the navel oranges 7 can be quickly put into the support ring 2, the mounting ring 3 and the fixing ring 4; At the same time, by putting the navel oranges 7 into the support ring 2, the mounting ring 3 and the fixing ring 4 and then cutting the branches 71, different from picking the navel oranges 7 with a long-handled scissors, when picking the navel oranges 7, it is not necessary to first push aside the leaves to pick the navel oranges 7; since after the existing navel oranges 7 are picked, the remaining branches 71 on the navel oranges 7 are too long and need to be cut short manually again, which is cumbersome. In this device, it should be noted that when the micro electric push rod 301 drives the first directional airbag 303 to move upward, the first directional airbag 303 drives the clamped branch 71 to move upward, so that the navel orange 7 connected to the branch 71 moves upward until it is closely attached to the lower side of the second directional airbag 401. The second directional airbag 401 continues to drive the navel orange 7 to squeeze the second directional airbag 401 upward through the first directional airbag 303, causing the second directional airbag 401 to undergo adaptive deformation, so that the upper end of the navel orange 7 is as close as possible to the cutter 102. At the same time, since the upper layer of the second directional airbag 401 is made of a hard material, the upper layer of the second directional airbag 401 always remains flat, thus avoiding the cutter 102 from touching the second directional airbag 401 and causing the second directional airbag 401 to be cut. At the same time, by making the upper end of the navel orange 7 close to the cutter 102, the branch 71 at the end of the navel orange 7 is closer to the cutter 102. After the branch 71 is cut, it is not necessary for the operator to cut the branch 71 again, reducing the labor intensity of the operator and effectively improving the picking efficiency of the navel oranges 7; Then, control the micro-pump 201 to evacuate the first directional airbag 303 and the second directional airbag 401, causing the first directional airbag 303 and the second directional airbag 401 to contract. At the same time, the micro-electric push rod 301 drives the limit ring 302 to reset, facilitating the next picking operation. The navel orange 7 of the cut branch 71 loses support and drops downward, then slides downward from the corrugated pipe 5. When the navel orange 7 slides into the guiding cylinder 6, the navel orange 7 is buffered by the screen 6001, effectively preventing the navel orange 7 from being damaged. Finally, the navel orange 7 drops into the storage box connected to the guiding cylinder 6 for collection. Through the cooperation of the corrugated pipe 5 and the guiding cylinder 6, after picking the navel orange 7, it can be quickly guided into the storage box, avoiding the situation that after cutting the navel orange 7, it drops to the ground and requires manual collection, effectively improving the picking efficiency of the navel orange 7. And because the corrugated pipe 5 can be telescoped, this device can pick navel oranges 7 at different heights; When clamping the navel orange 7 with the second directional airbag 401, it is inevitable to clamp a small amount of branches 71 that are not connected to the navel orange 7, resulting in a small amount of broken branches 71 and broken leaves entering the transmission channel together with the navel orange 7. When the broken branches 71, broken leaves and navel orange 7 slide into the guiding cylinder 6, the broken branches 71 and broken leaves pass through the sieve holes of the screen 6001 and fall to the ground, thus realizing the screening of the broken branches 71 and broken leaves entering the transmission channel through the screen 6001, effectively reducing the subsequent processing work of the navel orange 7. Embodiment 2

[0030] Based on Embodiment 1, as Figure 1 shown, it further includes a shoulder strap 501, a soft pad 502 and a support block 503; a shoulder strap 501 is arranged on the lower side of the telescopic rod 1; a soft pad 502 is fixedly connected to the right side of the shoulder strap 501; a support block 503 is fixedly connected to the soft pad 502; a through groove 50301 is formed in the support block 503.

[0031] Rubber particles are arranged on the inner wall of the through groove 50301.

[0032] When the staff picks the navel orange 7, they can put on the suspenders 501, so that the soft pad 502 and the support block 503 are located in front of the chest. Then, insert the lower end of the telescopic rod 1 into the through groove 50301 of the support block 503, and then make the telescopic rod 1 lean against the through groove 50301 obliquely, so as to support the telescopic rod 1 by the inner wall of the through groove 50301, reduce the support pressure of the hand, effectively relieve the fatigue of the staff, and increase the friction between the telescopic rod 1 and the inner wall of the through groove 50301 by the rubber particles arranged on the inner wall of the through groove 50301, effectively avoiding the telescopic rod 1 sliding in the through groove 50301 when the telescopic rod 1 is supported by the support block 503. At the same time, buffer through the soft pad 502 to avoid generating a large extrusion force on the staff's chest when the telescopic rod 1 is supported by the support block 503, resulting in discomfort to the staff; And by placing the telescopic rod 1 on the through groove 50301 of the support block 503, the staff can free their hands during the picking process if there is a call or they need to make a call.
