Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of melon harvesting, in particular to a melon harvesting vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Muskmelon is an annual vine herbaceous plant of the Cucurbitaceae family. It is spherical, oblate or oval in shape, with a smooth or cracked skin, golden or green in color, crisp and juicy, and extremely sweet, with the rich aroma of pear, apple, banana, peach and other fruits.

[0003] The existing technology has the following problems:

[0004] Since the number of melons planted is generally large, they need to be harvested from the planting sites during the harvest season. If the operation is carried out manually by picking one by one and transporting them one by one, it will not only increase the labor intensity of the personnel but also lead to slower overall picking efficiency. Therefore, a harvesting vehicle is needed to assist in the storage of the melons for the convenience of subsequent centralized transportation.

[0005] However, the surface area of ​​the existing harvester used to carry melons is relatively fixed, and it is impossible to make timely adjustments according to the actual number of melons in the area, which easily leads to waste of space or insufficient storage space, resulting in the need for personnel to enter the site multiple times for transportation operations, which is labor-intensive. In addition, when the melons are harvested and placed, there is a lack of protection measures on the surface of the device. When the melons are stacked together, they are squeezed against each other and the peels are thin, which easily causes the melons to break, affecting subsequent sales and storage, causing waste. After the melons are harvested, they are divided into large, medium and small fruit types according to the weight of the single fruit. At this time, personnel are required to perform preliminary screening of the melons with the assistance of naked eye observation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0006] To this end, we proposed a melon harvesting vehicle to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks. Utility Model Content

[0007] The utility model aims to solve the shortcomings in the prior art and provides a melon harvesting vehicle.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0017] (1) The utility model adopts indicator lights, pressure sensors, and protective cushions. Personnel can place the picked melons into the receiving grooves at different positions to place the melons. Since the receiving grooves are covered with protective cushions and the melons are placed individually, the melons can be well prevented from being broken due to collision or squeezing, thereby ensuring the integrity of the melons. After the melons are picked, the personnel can input the required weight of the melons. At this time, the indicator lights at the corresponding weight positions will light up (the pressure sensor can detect the pressure generated by the melons, and the weight of the melons can be judged by the change in pressure), which is convenient for personnel to observe and enable personnel to quickly classify the melons according to their weights, which is convenient for subsequent packaging and use, reduces the labor intensity of personnel, and has the advantages of melon protection and classification assistance.

When the expansion board is unfolded, the telescopic rod at the bottom can be dragged to change its length accordingly. After the length adjustment is completed, the spring clamp column can be inserted into the positioning hole on the surface of the telescopic rod and the support frame to fix the length of the telescopic rod and the support angle, thereby achieving the support operation of the expansion board, facilitating subsequent use, and having the advantage of adjustable harvesting area.
