Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural machinery, and more particularly to a parallel clamping automatic mulberry harvesting device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, mulberry leaf harvesting mainly relies on manual labor, which is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and inefficient. Therefore, automated mulberry leaf harvesting is particularly important, and improving the efficiency and quality of mulberry leaf harvesting has become a problem that the sericulture industry needs to solve.
[0003] Chinese invention patent application CN117999956B discloses a cutting mulberry leaf picking device. Its moving blade can rotate at a certain angle relative to the fixed blade to cut the mulberry leaf stalk. The mulberry leaves fall into the collection devices on both sides. However, the following defects still exist in the use: (1) When the lifting platform is raised, there will be blank areas of mulberry leaves that are not cut when the moving blade rotates to cut, resulting in the mulberry leaves not being completely picked. (2) The height of the front end of the middle rod is inconsistent with that of the left and right rods, and the inlet and outlet of the mulberry branch cutting is too small. As a result, the mulberry branches will be bent when they are clamped by the middle rod and the left and right rods before they enter the cutting channel. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to solve one of the technical problems mentioned in the background, the present invention aims to provide a parallel clamping automatic mulberry picking device, which is highly feasible and can realize the picking and collection of multiple mulberry branches from a single mulberry tree at one time.

[0008] The two synchronous belt toothed plates are respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the synchronous belt drive mechanism, and the synchronous belt toothed plates are fixedly connected to the lower part of the corresponding side clamping plates.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:
[0010] Each harvesting assembly includes several first semi-wrapping slots arranged at intervals along the front-back direction on the corresponding sides of the intermediate positioning plate, multiple second semi-wrapping slots corresponding one-to-one with each of the first semi-wrapping slots on the corresponding clamping plates, multiple semi-circular blades fixed to the upper side of each of the first and second semi-wrapping slots, multiple first blocks fixed to the corresponding sides of the intermediate positioning plate and located between two first semi-wrapping slots, multiple second blocks fixed to the side walls of the corresponding clamping plates and located between two second semi-wrapping slots, and multiple anti-collision blocks fixed to the first and second semi-wrapping slots.

[0012] More preferably, the lifting assembly includes a screw rotatably disposed on the front side of the frame and arranged along the vertical direction of the frame, a sliding seat threadedly sleeved on the screw along the vertical direction of the frame, a rotating motor disposed above the frame and whose output shaft is axially fixedly connected to the screw, a pair of second slide rails respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the front of the frame and arranged along the vertical direction of the frame, and two sets of sliders respectively slidably disposed in the second slide rails on both sides.

The clamping plate cooperates with the arc-shaped branch-pulling plate under the middle positioning plate, leaving enough space and time for several mulberry branches to enter the clamping opening, thus avoiding the mulberry branches failing to enter the clamping opening and resulting in the mulberry leaves being missed.
[0019] 2. The above-mentioned picking component uses a semi-circular arc blade. When the clamping plate and the middle positioning plate are closed, a complete cutting and wrapping groove is formed. In conjunction with the lifting mechanism, the mulberry leaves can be picked from all directions.
[0020] 3. The collection plate in the above-mentioned collection components can be flipped by an electric push rod, which facilitates the transfer and bagging of the harvested mulberry leaves without the need for manual collection. Attached Figure Description
