Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of picking, and in particular relates to a forsythia seed harvesting device. Background Art
[0002] Forsythia is a shrub of the genus Forsythia in the family Oleaceae, with spreading or drooping branches, brown or light yellow-brown; the leaves are usually simple, ovate or elliptical, with sharp tips, dark green leaf margins above and light yellow-green below; the flowers are usually solitary or 2 to several flowers are borne in the leaf axils, the calyx is green, and the lobes are oblong; the fruit is ovoid or oblong.
[0003] The fruit of Forsythia suspensa can be used as medicine and has high medicinal value. However, most of the fruit of Forsythia suspensa is currently picked manually. Since the fruit of Forsythia suspensa is very small and there are many particles, the efficiency of manual picking is very low and the picking process is complicated. In addition, the fruit after picking will be mixed with leaves, so the leaves must be separated in the later stage, which increases the working time.
[0004] For example, the patent with application number CN202320762295.0 discloses a handheld forsythia and jujube picking device, including a handle, a support tube, a clamping end, a transmission member and a holding frame, one end of the support tube is arranged on the handle, the clamping end is arranged on the other end of the support tube, the two ends of the transmission member are arranged on the handle and the clamping end respectively, the transmission member is located inside the support tube, the holding frame is arranged on the clamping end, and the holding frame is located below the clamping end. In this technical solution, the forsythia on a branch can be quickly scraped off by the clamping end, but at the same time, the leaves will also be scraped off together and fall into the holding frame. After picking, the leaf separation process must continue, which increases the workload.
[0005] In view of this, the inventor conducted in-depth research on the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, and thus came up with this case. Utility Model Content
[0006] The utility model aims to provide a forsythia seed harvesting device, which can automatically separate and screen the forsythia seeds and leaves after the forsythia is picked together with the leaves, thereby improving the work efficiency.
[0007] In order to achieve the above technical purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:
[0008] A forsythia seed harvesting device includes a hinged first clamping rod and a second clamping rod, the clamping end of the first clamping rod is provided with a first jacket, the clamping end of the second clamping rod is provided with a second jacket, the second jacket is located below the first jacket, a containing assembly is installed below the second jacket, the containing assembly includes a filter plate connected to the second jacket and a containing bag connected below the filter plate, and a plurality of filter holes for seeds to pass through are formed on the filter plate.
[0009] Further, the first jacket includes a first connecting half ring connected to the clamping end of the first clamping rod, a first scraper located on one side of the first connecting half ring, and a first protective sleeve located on the other side of the first connecting half ring, the inner diameter of the first protective sleeve gradually increases from the direction close to the first connecting half ring to the direction away from the first connecting half ring; the first scraper is formed with a first scraping groove for branches to pass through; the second jacket includes a second connecting half ring connected to the clamping end of the second clamping rod, a second scraper located on two sides of the second connecting half ring, and a second protective sleeve located on the other two sides of the second connecting half ring, the inner diameter of the second protective sleeve gradually increases from the direction close to the second connecting half ring to the direction away from the second connecting half ring; the second scraper is formed with a second scraping groove for branches to pass through. During operation, the opening and closing of the first and second jackets can be controlled by operating the opening and closing of the first and second clamping rods, the branches can be clamped between the first and second scraping grooves, and then pulled outwards to scrape off the forsythia seeds. The first protective sleeve and the second protective sleeve can prevent the seeds from falling around when they fall off.
[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of first fork rods are formed on the inner side of the first scraper and the second scraper, and a plurality of second fork rods are formed on the inner side of the first protective cover and the second protective cover. Since there are still some branches on the branches, and there are also seeds on the branches, the seeds on the branches can be scraped off by the first fork rods and the second fork rods, so that the harvesting is more precise.
[0011] Furthermore, the first clamping rod is provided with a first connecting plate for mounting the first jacket, the second clamping rod is provided with a second connecting plate for mounting the second jacket, the first connecting plate is fixedly connected to the first connecting half ring by bolts, and the second connecting plate is fixedly connected to the second connecting half ring by bolts. The bolt connection can make the connection between the first jacket and the second jacket more stable and also facilitate disassembly.
[0012] Furthermore, the filter plate is in an arc shape, a connecting piece is formed at one end of the filter plate close to the second jacket, and a blocking piece is formed at one end away from the second jacket; a hook is also formed at the bottom of the filter plate, and a perforation is formed on the containing bag to cooperate with the hook. Some of the picked seeds may be blocked by leaves and cannot enter the filter hole, so the blocking piece can block the seeds to prevent them from falling.
[0013] After adopting the above structure, the Forsythia suspensa seed harvesting device involved in the utility model, compared with the prior art, clamps the branches through the first jacket and the second jacket, and then pulls them backwards to scrape the seeds on the branches. While scraping, the leaves will also be scraped onto the filter plate. Through the filter holes on the filter plate, the seeds can fall into the holding bag below the filter plate, and the leaves are left in the filter plate. Each time a branch is scraped, the harvesting device can be turned over to dump the leaves trapped on the filter plate, making it easier to pick the seeds on the next branch. In this way, the leaves and seeds can be separated during picking, and no subsequent screening is required, thereby improving the picking efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] Preferably, the filter plate 51 is in an arc shape, and a connecting piece 512 is formed at one end of the filter plate 51 close to the second jacket 4, and the connecting piece 512 and the second protective sleeve 43 can be connected by welding or bolts; a blocking piece 513 is formed at one end away from the second jacket 4; a hook 514 is also formed at the bottom of the filter plate 51, and a through hole 521 is formed on the containing bag 52 to cooperate with the hook 514. Some of the picked seeds may be blocked by leaves and cannot enter the filter hole 511, so the blocking piece 513 can block the seeds to prevent them from falling.
[0027] The method of using the utility model is as follows: first, control the opening and closing of the first clamping rod 1 and the second clamping rod 2 to control the opening and closing of the first clamping sleeve 3 and the second clamping sleeve 4, clamp the branches in the first scraping groove 321 and the second scraping groove, then pull the device backward to make the first scraper 32 and the second scraper scrape the seeds on the branches, at the same time, the first fork rod and the second fork rod 7 can scrape the seeds on the branches of the branches, and the scraped seeds and leaves will fall on the filter plate 51 located below, and the seeds will fall into the holding bag 52 from the filter holes 511 on the filter plate 51, so that the seeds and leaves can be separated during the picking process.
[0028] The forsythia seed harvesting device provided by the utility model is described in detail above.
