Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for pepper picking, and particularly relates to a pepper picking protection device. Background Art

[0002] There are multiple difficulties in pepper picking, mainly reflected in the characteristics of the pepper plants themselves, as well as labor costs and efficiency. Due to its own growth characteristics, the pepper tree is covered with sharp thorns all over. These thorns are hard and sharp. During the picking process, pickers need to frequently reach into the branches and leaves to pick pepper fruits, and are extremely likely to be pricked by the thorns. This will not only cause physical pain to the pickers, but may also affect their physical health due to wound infection and reduce the picking efficiency.

[0003] Secondly, pepper fruits are usually grown in various parts of the branches. Some are hidden deep in the dense branches and leaves, and some are at the ends of small branches. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to use purely automated equipment for mechanical picking to avoid personnel injuries. There are extremely high requirements for the size, flexibility, and intelligence of automated mechanical equipment, and the usage cost is also extremely high. Especially when picking, it is necessary to push aside layers of branches and leaves to find the fruits. For the fruits growing inside the tree crown or on thinner branches, the picking difficulty is even greater. Using high-precision automatic picking equipment will obviously greatly increase the cost. Moreover, there is currently no such high-precision special equipment on the market, so manual picking is still mainly relied on.

[0004] As mentioned above, choosing manual picking faces the risks of being stabbed and scratched. This not only leads to a large labor intensity when working manually to avoid injuries, but also greatly reduces the picking efficiency. Therefore, pickers must wear corresponding protective equipment when picking peppers. Most of the current protective equipment is some simple gloves and overalls, holding picking tools such as scissors. These equipments are mainly used to avoid or reduce the risk of injury to the operators, facilitating the operators to pick boldly and efficiently even deep in the branches and leaves. However, there are still some problems. For example, when picking, the scissors or bags held by the gloves are very easy to drop. Because one should try to avoid scratches as much as possible, the gloves are relatively smooth, which makes the picking tools even easier to drop. Once dropped, it is very difficult to bend down to find and pick them up in the pepper forest; in addition, holding the picking tools with gloves will also greatly reduce the operation flexibility and is also inconvenient for using the picking tools. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a pepper picking protection device to solve the problems of inconvenient operation and low picking efficiency of the existing protective equipment for pepper picking.

[0006] The present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A prickly ash picking protection device includes a long-arm glove that can be worn to the arm. A lower blade is installed on the top surface of the index finger part of the long-arm glove, and an upper blade is installed on one side of the thumb part close to the index finger part; A receiving cylinder is connected to the palm of the long-arm glove near the tiger's mouth, and the receiving cylinder is connected to a storage bag for storing prickly ash, and the storage bag can be carried on the shoulder;

[0008] The upper blade is located above the top port of the receiving cylinder on the side close to the palm, the cutting edge of the upper blade faces upward, the cutting edge of the lower blade faces downward, and when the thumb part approaches the index finger part, the upper blade moves above the lower blade, so that when the thumb presses down, the upper blade and the lower blade shear the prickly ash stalk between them, and the prickly ash falls into the receiving cylinder.

[0009] Further, the present invention further includes a mounting plate for mounting the two blades. The mounting plate includes a first spring piece and a second spring piece integrally formed. One side of the two spring pieces is connected to each other to form an included angle area inside the mounting plate. The surface of the spring piece located in the included angle area is the inner side; The upper blade is installed on the inner side surface of the first spring piece, and the lower blade is installed on the inner side surface of the second spring piece.

[0010] Further, a strip-shaped deep groove with an arc-shaped cross-section is opened along the width direction of the mounting plate at the inner corner of the included angle area of the mounting plate.

[0011] Further, a strip-shaped shallow groove with an extending direction consistent with that of the strip-shaped deep groove is also provided at the center of the bottom of the strip-shaped deep groove; It also includes a D-shaped tightening frame, and the straight rod section of the tightening frame is rotationally matched with the strip-shaped shallow groove, and the arc-shaped rod section of the tightening frame is sleeved on the thumb part, so that when pressing the upper blade downward against the lower blade, the mounting plate rotates around the straight rod section to elastically deform.

[0012] Further, the top port of the receiving cylinder is a flared structure, and the size of the flare must be such that the lower blade is completely located above the inner side of the flare.

[0013] Further, a picking plate with one side extending above the palm is installed at the top of the index finger part, and the lower blade with the cutting edge facing upward is installed on one side of the picking plate; An installation strip column for installing the upper blade with the cutting edge facing downward is installed on the inner side of the finger pulp of the thumb part. When the thumb part and the index finger part approach each other, the upper blade is located above the lower blade.

[0014] Further, the picking plate and the installation strip column are connected by an elastic reset component, and the elastic reset component makes the picking plate and the installation strip column have a tendency to approach each other.

[0015] Further, the elastic reset component includes a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate. The first connecting plate is connected to one side of the picking plate, and the second connecting plate is connected to one end of the mounting strip column. One end where the two connecting plates are in contact with each other is elastically damped and hinged.

[0016] Further, one end of the first connecting plate is located below one end of the second connecting plate, and the two are connected together by a torsion spring.

[0017] Further, an articulated column is axially and penetratively arranged inside the torsion spring. Two positioning plates are fixedly arranged on the articulated column at intervals. The end of the spring wire at the top of the torsion spring is inserted into the upper first positioning plate, and the spring wire at its bottom end is inserted into the lower second positioning plate, and the torsion spring is always in an axially compressed state.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0019] For this prickly ash picking protection device, by respectively installing the upper and lower blades on the thumb part and the index finger part, it is convenient for the picking personnel to cut the stalks of the prickly ash quickly, greatly improving the flexibility and convenience of picking; secondly, since the picking tools such as the blades are integrally installed on the gloves, they will not fall off, and the picking personnel do not have to spend time and take risks to look for and pick up the picking tools in the prickly ash forest. In summary, the structure of the present invention is simple and practical, easy to manufacture and use, not only safe, but also greatly improving the picking efficiency of prickly ash.

[0020] Other advantages, objectives and features of the present invention will be described to some extent in the subsequent specification, and to some extent, will be obvious to those skilled in the art based on the study of the following text, or can be taught from the practice of the present invention; the objectives and other advantages of the present invention can be realized and obtained through the following specification.

Specific Embodiments

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0031] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present invention, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] It should be noted that: similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figures 4 - 5, the present invention provides a technical solution: A prickly ash picking protection device includes a long-arm glove 1 that can reach the arm. A lower blade 4 is installed on the top surface of the index finger part 102 of the long-arm glove 1, and an upper blade 22 is installed on the side of the thumb part 101 close to the index finger part 102. The upper and lower blades cut off the stem 21 of the prickly ash. At the same time, a receiving cylinder 2 is connected to the palm of the long-arm glove 1 near the tiger's mouth. This receiving cylinder 2 is used to receive the picked prickly ash. During production, the receiving cylinder 2 is connected to a storage bag for storing prickly ash, and this storage bag can be carried on the shoulder to centrally store the picked prickly ash; during the process of picking prickly ash, the receiving cylinder 2 and the storage bag can be shaken occasionally to make the prickly ash fall better into the storage bag.

[0034] In practice, the upper blade 22 of this embodiment is located above the top port of the receiving cylinder 2 on the side close to the palm, that is, as Figures 4 - 5 shown, the cutting edge of the upper blade 22 faces upward and is arranged slightly behind the top port of the receiving cylinder 2. The cutting edge of the lower blade 4 faces downward. When the thumb part 101 approaches the index finger part 102, the upper blade 22 moves above the lower blade 4 so that when the thumb part 101 presses down, the upper blade 22 and the lower blade 4 cut the prickly ash stem 21 between them, causing the prickly ash to fall into the receiving cylinder 2, achieving the purpose of safely picking prickly ash without contacting the prickly ash and the prickly ash branches.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , during specific production, it also includes a mounting plate 9 for installing the two blades. One side of the mounting plate 9 is connected to the index finger part 102. This mounting plate 9 includes a first spring piece 6 and a second spring piece 5 formed integrally. One side of the two spring pieces is connected to each other to form a structure similar to an angle steel, and then an included angle area is formed inside the mounting plate 9. The side of the above-mentioned spring piece located inside the included angle area is the inner side. During specific installation, the upper blade 22 is installed on the inner side of the first spring piece 6, and the lower blade 4 is installed on the inner side of the second spring piece 5. By using the elastic deformation of the mounting plate 9, the position change of the shearing movement of the two blades can be automatically adapted to smoothly cut off the stem 21. In order to make the mounting plate 9 better adaptively deform, as Figure 1 , at the inner corner of the included angle area of the mounting plate 9, along the width direction of the mounting plate 9, that is, perpendicular to Figure 1 the direction of the palm surface of the glove shown, a strip-shaped deep groove 7 with an arc-shaped cross-section is opened. This arc is preferably a major arc to facilitate the two spring pieces to approach or move away from each other at the joint part.

[0036] To further improve the above technical effect, continue to refer to Figure 1 , a strip-shaped shallow groove with an extension direction consistent with that of the strip-shaped deep groove 7 is also provided at the center of the bottom of the strip-shaped deep groove 7. At the same time, as Figures 2 - 3, further includes a D-shaped tightening frame 8, and the straight rod section 801 of the tightening frame 8 is rotationally matched with the strip-shaped shallow groove to form a structure similar to a hinge. The arc rod section 802 of the tightening frame 8 is sleeved on the thumb part 101. In this way, when the lower blade 4 presses the upper blade 22 downward, the mounting plate 9 rotates around the straight rod section 801 to elastically deform, and the two blades can more accurately achieve the shearing motion. In practice, in order to better enable the mounting plate 9 to elastically deform, the structure of the tightening frame 8 in this embodiment can be as Figure 3 , the arc rod section 802 is divided into a semi-circular section and a cylindrical section docked with it. Specifically, guide posts 20 and adjusting studs 19 are coaxially installed at both ends of the semi-circular section respectively. The guide posts 20 are axially slid into the end of a cylindrical section at both ends of the straight rod section 801, and the adjusting studs 19 are screwed into the end face of the other cylindrical section after passing through one side of the arc rod section 802, and then the tightening force between the tightening frame 8 and the thumb part 101 is adjusted to make the wearing more comfortable. In addition, in order to fully receive the falling Chinese prickly ash, as Figure 1 , the top port of the material receiving cylinder 2 is a flared structure, and the size of the flare must make the lower blade 4 completely located above the inner side of the flare.

[0037] In addition to the installation and cooperation structure of the two blades as Figure 1 shown, this embodiment also introduces another more reliable design structure: that is, as Figures 4 - 5 , a picking plate 10 extending to above the palm is installed at the top end of the index finger part 102, and a lower blade 4 with the blade edge facing upward is installed on the side of the picking plate 10 extending out, so that the blade edge 3 of the lower blade can be above the top port of the material receiving cylinder 2. At the same time, a mounting strip column 11 for installing the upper blade 22 with the blade edge facing downward is installed on the inner side of the finger pulp of the thumb part 101. For example, the blade is installed at the bottom end of the mounting strip column 11. During the use process, the thumb part 101 and the index finger part 102 can freely approach, so that the upper blade 22 is located above the lower blade 4, which is convenient for pressing the upper blade 22 to pick Chinese prickly ash.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figures 5 - 6 shown, an elastic reset component 12 is connected between the picking plate 10 and the mounting strip column 11. This elastic reset component 12 makes the picking plate 10 and the mounting strip column 11 have a tendency to approach each other, mainly facilitating the automatic approaching function of the two blades when picking Chinese prickly ash, which is beneficial for the two blades to be arranged oppositely for shearing.

[0039] In this embodiment, specifically, the elastic reset component 12 includes a first connecting plate 13 and a second connecting plate 14. The first connecting plate 13 is connected to one side of the pick plate 10, and the second connecting plate 14 is connected to one end of the mounting bar column 11. Moreover, one end where the two connecting plates are in contact with each other is elastically damped and hinged, and the elastic torsion of this elastic damping hinge makes the two connecting plates tend to approach each other. Specifically in practice, it can be as Figure 7 shown. One end of the first connecting plate 13 is located below one end of the second connecting plate 14, and the two are connected together by a torsion spring 18 to form an elastic damping hinge force. As an optimal implementation structure, as Figure 7 , an articulating column 15 is axially penetrated through the inside of the torsion spring 18. Two positioning plates are fixedly arranged on this articulating column 15. The end of the spring wire at the top of the torsion spring 18 is inserted into the upper first positioning plate 16, and the end of the spring wire at its bottom is inserted into the lower second positioning plate 17. And due to the contact of the positioning plates, the torsion spring 18 is always in an axially compressed state. In practice, in the non-working state, the torsion spring 18 can be slightly compressed. The main purpose is to maintain the stability of the entire elastic damping hinge structure in the non-working state, and it is beneficial for the two blades to quickly and stably separate in the vertical direction to a position such as Figure 8 shown after cutting the stem 21. However, if the axial compression amount of the torsion spring 18 is too large, it will be too laborious to press the upper blade 22 when cutting the stem 21.

[0040] In the above description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "one side", "the other side", etc. indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the product of the present invention is usually placed during use. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for differentiating descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0041] In addition, terms such as "the same" do not mean that the components are required to be absolutely the same, but there may be slight differences. The term "vertical" only means that the positional relationship between the components is more vertical relative to "parallel", and does not mean that the structure must be completely vertical, but can be slightly inclined.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered by the scope of the claims of the present invention.
