Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of fruit picking tools, in particular to a fruit picking tool. Background Art
[0002] At present, when picking fruits that are not easy to fall, such as oranges, fruit farmers usually need to hold the fruit with one hand and use scissors in the other hand to cut off the fruit stem to achieve the purpose of picking the fruit. This method requires the cooperation of both hands when picking fruits to prevent the fruits from falling, but it also leads to low picking efficiency because while picking fruits, fruit farmers also need to push or pull branches and move fruit baskets. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to solve the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a fruit picking tool that can be worn on the arm of a person picking fruit. The tool can be used to hold the fruit and cut the fruit stem at the same time with the same hand, thereby freeing up the other hand for other operations and helping to improve the efficiency of fruit picking.
[0004] In order to achieve the purpose of this utility model, the following scheme is proposed:

[0015] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the implementation methods of the utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the embodiments described in the utility model are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments.
[0016] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a fruit picking tool includes: a mounting plate 1, a connecting tube 3 and a knife plate 4.
[0017] The bottom surface of the mounting plate 1 is an arc-shaped groove structure for fitting a human forearm. The mounting plate 1 is provided with a connecting piece 2 for fixing the mounting plate 1 on the forearm. Specifically, the connecting piece 2 is a strap structure.
[0018] The connecting tube 3 is arranged on the top surface of the mounting plate 1, and its front end extends to the outside of the front end of the mounting plate 1. A knife plate 4 is provided on each side of the front end of the connecting tube 3, and at least one knife plate 4 is swingably arranged. The front end of the knife plate 4 extends to the outside of the front end of the connecting tube 3, and the side opposite to the front end of the knife plate 4 is a blade. A driving device 5 is provided inside the connecting tube 3, and the driving device 5 continuously drives the two knife plates 4 to open and close, thereby realizing a shearing action.
[0019] Specifically, the driving device 5 can adopt a coaxial bidirectional cylinder or a bidirectional motor to synchronously drive the two blades 4 to swing, so that the two blades 4 can be opened and closed; a cylinder or a linear motor can also be used to control the start of the swing of one blade 4, while the other blade 4 is fixedly installed; the power supply or air source of the driving device 5 can be hung on the waist or back of the worker.
[0020] When the picking tool is mounted on the forearm, the blade is located above the base of the palm, and the opening and closing directions of the two blades 4 are consistent with the opening and closing directions of the thumb and index finger of the palm.
[0021] like Figure 3As shown, when picking fruits, first hold the target fruit with the hand wearing the picking tool, then swing the arm to align the stem of the target fruit between the blades of the two knife boards 4. Because the knife boards 4 are continuously driven by the driving device 5 to reduce the operation of the manual control switch, as long as the fruit stem is stuck between the knife boards 4, the cutting work can be completed automatically and quickly, which helps to improve the efficiency of fruit picking.
[0022] Preferably, Figure 2 As shown, the rear ends of the blade plates 4 are all located in the connecting tube 3, and a top block 6 is provided inside the connecting tube 3 for movement along the length direction, and its front end is an isosceles triangle structure. The top block 6 and the side surfaces opposite to the two waists of the isosceles triangle are in sliding contact with the rear ends of the two blade plates 4 respectively, and a support spring 7 is provided between the front ends of the two blade plates 4; when the top block 6 moves toward the front end of the connecting tube 3, the rear ends of the two blade plates 4 are synchronously opened to both sides, the blades are closed to the middle, and the support spring 7 is compressed; when the top block 6 moves toward the rear end of the connecting tube 3, the support spring 7 opens the front ends of the two blade plates 4 to both sides, and the above structure realizes the opening and closing switching of the blade plates 4 through the mutual cooperation of the top block 6 and the support spring 7.
[0023] Further preferably, Figure 2 As shown, the driving device 5 is a rotary motor, and a power source is provided in the connecting tube 3, such as a dry battery or a mobile power source similar to a power bank. The main shaft of the driving device 5 is coaxially provided with a screw 51, which is penetrated by the top block 6 through a threaded structure. The screw 51 is parallel to the length direction of the connecting tube 3. The driving device 5 can drive the screw 51 to rotate reciprocatingly, and the threaded transmission structure can be used to drive the top block 6 to reciprocate along the length direction of the screw 51.
[0024] Preferably, the rear end of the connecting tube 3 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the rear end of the mounting plate 1, which is used to adjust the angle between the connecting tube 3 and the mounting plate 1, so as to adapt to the picking of different types of fruits with large changes in overall size. For example, when picking smaller fruits such as tangerines, it is necessary to reduce the angle between the connecting tube 3 and the mounting plate 1 so that the knife plate 4 is closer to the base of the thumb. When picking slightly larger fruits such as tangerines and oranges, it is necessary to appropriately increase the angle between the connecting tube 3 and the mounting plate 1 to adapt to the change in the distance between the fruit stem and the center of the fruit. The rotating connection portion between the connecting tube 3 and the mounting plate 1 can be provided with bolts to realize the rotating connection, and the position of the connecting tube 3 can also be locked.
[0025] Preferably, Figure 2As shown, a strip hole 31 is opened in the middle section of the connecting pipe 3 along the length direction, a clamping screw 8 is passed through the top of the mounting plate 1, and a cylindrical spring 9 is sleeved on the outside of the clamping screw 8. The clamping screw 8 passes through the strip hole 31, and the head of the clamping screw 8 is located outside the connecting pipe 3, the cylindrical spring 9 is located between the connecting pipe 3 and the mounting plate 1, and the cylindrical spring 9 is in a compressed state, so that the cylindrical spring 9 is used to open the connecting pipe 3 and the mounting plate 1, so that the connecting pipe 3 and the mounting plate 1 can have variable functions within a predetermined angle range, and by adjusting the depth of the clamping screw 8 inserted into the mounting plate 1, the maximum opening angle between the connecting pipe 3 and the mounting plate 1 can be adjusted.
[0026] Preferably, Figure 2 As shown, the connecting pipe 3 is a grooved pipe structure, and its opening direction faces the mounting plate 1, which can not only reduce the weight, but also protect the driving device 5 and other devices arranged in the pipe, and facilitate disassembly and maintenance.
[0027] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not mean that it is the only one or limit the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that various changes or equivalent replacements made to the utility model without departing from the scope of the utility model are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
