[0025] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Reference Figure 1-6 , is an embodiment of the utility model, and provides an apple orchard picking device. The apple orchard picking device comprises a main pole 1, an end cap 2 is arranged above the main pole 1, a material receiving cover 3 is installed on the outer ring side of the main pole 1, the material receiving cover 3 is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the main pole 1, a buffer telescopic rod 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the material receiving cover 3, and the lower end of the buffer telescopic rod 12 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the main pole 1. When the apple falls to the bottom of the material receiving cover 3, the buffer telescopic rod 12 buffers the impact of the material receiving cover 3 by compression. The end cap 2 is located on the inner side of the material receiving cover 3, and a plurality of slots 9 are opened on the circumferential side surface of the end cap 2. The plurality of slots 9 are distributed in an array around the axis of the main pole 1, and a clamping structure 4 is installed inside the slot 9. A movable ring 5 is slidably inserted inside the main pole 1, and a telescopic spring 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the movable ring 5. The other end of the telescopic spring 6 is fixedly connected to the inside of the main pole 1, and the telescopic spring 6 has a tendency to pull the movable ring 5 to move downward, and the clamping structure 4 is connected to the upper surface of the movable ring 5.
[0027] The clamping structure 4 includes a pull rope 41, a synchronization shaft 42 and a clamping rod 43. The clamping rod 43 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the synchronization shaft 42. The synchronization shaft 42 is elastically rotatably connected to the inside of the slot 9. The end 2 is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the pull rope 41. The lower end of the pull rope 41 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable ring 5. The upper end of the pull rope 41 is fixedly connected to the synchronization shaft 42 after passing through the synchronization shaft 42. The internal rotation of the slot 9 is connected with a roller 13. The pull rope 41 passes through the top of the roller 13. The roller 13 ensures that the part of the pull rope 41 located below the roller 13 is vertical.
[0028] A baffle 10 is fixedly connected to the circumferential side surface of the upper end of the main rod 1, and the baffle 10 is located below the end head 2. A vertical groove 11 is provided below each slot 9 of the baffle 10, and a clamping rod 43 is located inside the vertical groove 11. The clamping rod 43 is in the shape of an arc, and the upper surface of the baffle 10 is a conical surface, which is convenient for the apple to roll downward on the baffle 10. The baffle 10 is coaxially arranged with the main rod 1. After the end head 2 moves upward to tighten the pull rope 41, when the end head 2 continues to be pushed upward, the pull rope 41 drives the telescopic spring 6 to retract and the synchronous shaft 42 to rotate elastically. When the clamping rod 43 just moves out of the upper opening of the material receiving cover 3, the end of the clamping rod 43 away from the end head 2 rotates to the top of the end head 2, and the distance between the upper ends of the clamping rods 43 is greater than the distance between the lower ends of the clamping rods 43, so that the apple can be moved between multiple clamping rods 43, and then the apple can be clamped when the clamping rods 43 continue to be tightened.
[0029] A power telescopic rod 7 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the end head 2, and the lower end of the power telescopic rod 7 is fixedly inserted in the interior of the main rod 1. A feeding hose 8 connected with the interior of the material receiving cover 3 is installed on the bottom surface, and a plurality of metal hard rings 14 are fixedly inserted in the interior of the feeding hose 8. The lower end of the material receiving cover 3 is an eccentric cone-shaped structure. The metal hard ring 14 can effectively prevent the feeding hose 8 from deflation, thereby ensuring that the apples can be transported and rolled downward in the feeding hose 8.
[0030] During use, the main rod 1 is first controlled to approach the apple to be picked, and then the power telescopic rod 7 pushes the end 2 to move upward. After the pull rope 41 is tightened, the end 2 is continued to be pushed upward, and the pull rope 41 drives the telescopic spring 6 to expand and contract and the synchronous shaft 42 to rotate elastically. When the clamping rod 43 moves to the upper opening of the material receiving cover 3, the end of the clamping rod 43 away from the end 2 rotates to the top of the end 2, and the multiple clamping rods 43 are in a flared state. Then the main rod 1 is controlled to make the apple located between the multiple clamping rods 43. When the end 2 continues to move upward, the pull rope 41 pulls the synchronous shaft 42 to drive the clamping rod 43 to clamp the apple. After the apple is picked, the power telescopic rod 7 drives the end 2 to reset downward relative to the main rod 1, and the clamping rod 43 drives the apple into the material receiving cover 3. When the end of the clamping rod 43 away from the end 2 rotates to the bottom of the end 2, the apple falls from between the multiple clamping rods 43 into the material receiving cover 3, and then the apple enters the discharge hose 8 through the bottom of the material receiving cover 3, and is transported from the discharge hose 8 to the bottom for easy collection.
[0031] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
