[0041] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0042] With the continuous development of social economy, people's demand for fruits and flowers of various plants (such as blueberry, wolfberry, wild chrysanthemum, etc.) is increasing day by day, and with it comes the huge harvesting pressure faced by manufacturers or farmers of such crops. The traditional harvesting method is manual harvesting, which has low work efficiency and is easy to delay the harvesting season.
[0043] There are also various types of picking equipment. The picking equipment used in the prior art has the following problems: during the picking process, the equipment will easily be blocked when encountering dense roots and stems, causing the picking equipment to be unable to continue to work normally and must be cleared manually, but the cleaning is very difficult, time-consuming and labor-intensive, affecting work efficiency; the existing pickers are provided with cutting knives at the roots of the comb teeth, which can easily cut the plants directly at the stems, resulting in a large amount of stems in the picked objects, affecting the purity of the picked objects, such as: a special chrysanthemum flower stripping machine, which has low flower stripping efficiency and cannot strip cleanly; some picking harvesters will crush the flowers, fruits, stems, and leaves together during work and cannot be separated, such as: rice and wheat harvesters.
[0044] In order to solve the above-mentioned picking problem of flowers and fruits in large-scale planting of wild chrysanthemums and similar situations, a flower and fruit picking device is now proposed.
[0045] Embodiment 1:
[0046] Reference Figure 1-Figure 6 , a flower and fruit picking device, comprising:
[0047] A picking part, which is used to pick flowers 6 and has a blockage clearing function;
[0048] A storage part, which is arranged at the rear of the picking part and is used to store the picked flowers 6;
[0049] The holding portion is arranged at the upper end of the picking portion and is used to assist in holding the device for picking.
[0050] The picking part can realize the clearing function by rotating, that is, the movable comb teeth 3 rotate relative to the fixed comb teeth 2 to increase the gap between the two, loosen the stems originally clamped and stuck between the two, and realize quick clearing. It can also be cleared by cutting, that is, using shear force to cut the stems in the stuck area. For example: old-fashioned razor clip shears.
[0051] In this embodiment, the picking part includes:
[0052] A frame 1, wherein the frame 1 is a frame-shaped structure with openings at both ends;
[0053] The fixed comb teeth 2 include: a plurality of horizontally arranged fixed tooth rods 201, the fixed tooth rods 201 are horizontally arranged at the bottom of the front end of the frame 1 and are integrally formed therewith, and tooth grooves 202 are arranged between the fixed tooth rods 201;
[0054] The movable comb teeth 3 are arranged above the fixed comb teeth 2 and correspond thereto, and both ends of the movable comb teeth 3 are rotatably connected to both sides of the frame 1. The movable comb teeth 3 include: a plurality of horizontally arranged movable tooth rods 301, and the movable tooth rods 301 are arranged alternately with the fixed tooth rods 201;
[0055] When picking, the movable comb teeth 3 rotate to be in a horizontal state with the fixed comb teeth 2 to pick;
[0056] When clearing a blockage, the movable comb teeth 3 rotate to form an angle with the fixed comb teeth 2 to clear the blockage.
[0057] The fixed gear rod 201 and the movable gear rod 301 are kept at the same horizontal plane during picking.
[0058] Among them, the cross-sectional area of the movable gear rod 301 is a triangular structure. When the movable comb teeth 3 rotate, the contact between the blocked part and the movable gear rod 301 is a line contact. When rotating, the triangular inclined surface of the movable gear rod 301 can play a guiding sliding effect, making it easier to achieve flipping.
[0059] The ends of the movable gear rod 301 and the fixed gear rod 201 are conical tips, which is conducive to sending the stems of the flowers 6 into the tooth grooves 202.
[0060] The frame 1 is made of a stainless steel sheet, which can be welded or bent, and the thickness of the sheet of the frame 1 is preferably 0.5-3 mm.
[0061] In this embodiment, the storage portion is a flexible storage bag 5, the opening end of the storage bag 5 is connected to the rear of the frame 1, and is used to store the picked objects.
[0062] Specifically, after completing a picking action, the flowers 6 enter the storage bag 5 smoothly. When the picking part is pushed forward again for picking, forward inertia will be generated, and the flowers 6 in the storage part will be at risk of falling out due to inertia. However, due to the flexible nature of the storage bag 5 (in this embodiment, the material of the storage bag 5 is preferably gauze fabric) plus the weight of the flowers 6 themselves, the storage bag 5 naturally droops under the influence of gravity; this effectively prevents the flowers 6 in the storage bag 5 from falling from the entrance of the harvesting part due to inertia.
[0063] In this embodiment, a handle 302 is provided on one side of the movable comb teeth 3. The handle 302 is an L-shaped structure with an end extending outward. When the handle 302 rotates to the upper part of the frame 1, it can abut against it to limit the movable comb teeth 3 from continuing to flip backwards.
[0064] Specifically, the movable comb teeth 3 are rotatably connected to the frame 1 via the rotating shaft 303, and the rotating handle 302 drives the movable comb teeth 3 to flip around the rotating shaft 303, so that when the movable comb teeth 3 and the fixed comb teeth 2 are blocked, the lever principle is utilized, with the rotating shaft 303 as the fulcrum, and the rotating handle 302 is turned to easily flip the movable comb teeth 3, saving time and effort.
[0065] In this embodiment, the length of the movable gear rod 301 is greater than or equal to the length of the fixed gear rod.
[0066] During the picking process, the length of the fixed tooth rod 201 determines the working length of picking, that is, blockage will only occur within the length range of the fixed tooth rod 201, and the length of the movable tooth rod 301 is greater than or equal to the length of the fixed tooth rod 201. Regardless of whether the blockage point is at the end, middle or root of the fixed tooth rod 201, it can be ensured that the blockage can be completely cleared during the clearing process.
[0067] In this embodiment, a cutting edge 204 is provided on one or both sides of the tooth groove 202 , and an unsharpened blunt edge 203 is provided at the root of the tooth groove 202 .
[0068] Among them, the blunt edge 203 at the root of the tooth groove 202 can be an arc surface or a plane. As long as it has no cutting ability, the blunt edge 203 can be used to slide the flowers 6 or fruits to the upper root, and then the cutting edge 204 can be used to cut and complete the picking.
[0069] In this embodiment, the holding portion is a holding rod 4, the front portion of the holding rod 4 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the rear portion is disposed above the storage portion with a gap between the holding rod 4 and the storage portion.
[0070] The holding rod 4 may be round steel or a round tube, and the holding rod 4 and the frame 1 may be connected by riveting, welding or threaded connection.
[0071] In this embodiment, a handle cover (not shown in the figure) is provided on the holding rod 4.
[0072] The handle can be rubber bonded to the grip rod 4, or a wrapped fabric, or a patterned mesh surface can be processed on the surface of the grip rod 4. Its main purpose is to improve the comfort of holding, increase friction, and prevent the device from slipping out of the hand when using it.
[0073] In this embodiment, a notch 101 is provided at the rear of the frame 1. Specifically, the notch 101 is provided to avoid the gripping rod 4 and provide a space for the user to grip.
[0074] Embodiment 2,
[0075] Specific reference Figure 7 Further, the front ends of the fixed gear rod 201 and the movable gear rod 301 are bent upward, and the bending arc is consistent, and the bending angle is less than 90°, which is used to prevent the picked flowers 6 from popping out. Specifically, the bending can be an arc bending or a direct bending.
[0076] In this embodiment, the fixed comb teeth 2 are detachably fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 1 .
[0077] Among them, during the picking process, the fixed comb teeth 2 are used at a high rate and are consumable parts. Frequent use of the cutting edge 204 to cut the stems can easily cause the cutting edge 204 to be dull. Therefore, when the cutting edge 204 is damaged or blunt, it can be removed and replaced with a new fixed comb tooth 2, which greatly saves costs and improves material utilization.
[0078] The operation method of the utility model: In the picking process, first, the holding rod 4 is held and moved forward toward the plant to be picked, and the stem of the plant is sent into the tooth groove 202, and then the holding rod 4 is lifted to make the stem of the plant slide upward along the blunt edge 203 of the root of the tooth groove 202. When sliding to the root of the flower 6 or fruit to be picked, the device is moved, and the root of the flower 6 or fruit is cut off by the blade 204 on the fixed tooth rod 201, and the cut flowers 6 are collected in the storage bag 5, so that the purity of the picking is high and the impurity rate is low, which greatly improves the quality of the product;
[0079] When a stem is stuck between the fixed comb teeth 2 and the movable comb teeth 3 during the picking process, the rotating handle 302 is held to flip the movable comb teeth 3 upwards, thereby removing the stem or debris stuck between the fixed comb teeth 2 and the movable comb teeth 3, achieving a quick clearing effect with fast clearing speed and strong operability.
[0080] The beneficial effects of the utility model are embodied in:
[0081] 1. Simple structure, easy operation, and suitable for picking work; when a blockage occurs between the fixed comb teeth 2 and the movable comb teeth 3, the blockage can be quickly cleared by simply holding the rotating handle 302 and flipping the movable comb teeth 3 upward, which greatly improves the clearing efficiency;
[0082] Second, the plant stems slide upward in the tooth grooves 202, and the blunt edge 203 at the root of the tooth grooves 202 is used to slide the stems in the tooth grooves 202 to the root position of the flowers 6 or fruits, and then the cutting edges 204 on the fixed comb teeth 2 are used to perform horizontal cutting, which greatly improves the separation degree of the flowers 6 or fruits of the plants from the stems and branches and leaves, and the picking purity is high and the impurity rate is low.
