Movable seats 10 are fixed on both sides of the end of the supporting plate 1 located at the second slot 12. A rotating shaft is rotatably provided between the two movable seats 10. One end of the two rotating shafts is movably connected to the two sides of the collecting frame 7. One end of the collecting frame 7 corresponds to the high point of the crawler 31 and is located at the lower end of the crawler 31, so that the strawberries can fall accurately into the collecting frame 7.

[0041] A U-shaped frame 13 is fixed in the middle of the lower end of the frame 33, and a movable seat 2 14 is fixed between the middle of one side of the U-shaped frame 13 and the supporting plate 1, and the middle parts of the two movable seats 2 14 are rotatably arranged with the two ends of the electric push rod 15, and the electric push rod 15 drives the collection frame 7 to rotate, and a movable seat 3 16 is fixed between the other side of the U-shaped frame 13 and the end of the collection frame 7, and the middle parts of the two movable seats 3 16 are fixed to the connecting rod.

[0042] Under normal conditions, the collecting frame 7 is in an inclined state to facilitate the collection of strawberries.

[0043] Among them, a mobile power supply is fixed on the upper end of the supporting plate 1 of the device to power the electrical device of the device. At the same time, a control computer is also provided to realize the operation and control of the device. Since it is not the main technology, it will not be described in detail.

[0044] The carrier plate 1 is provided with a slot 11 on one side of the frame 33. The diameter of the slot 11 is larger than the frame 33. This arrangement allows the frame 33 to rotate freely in the slot 11. At the same time, the diameter of the frame 33 is smaller than the opening diameter at the upper end of the collecting frame 7, so that the crawler 31 can enter the interior of the collecting frame 7. The structure of the collecting frame 7 is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, a second slot 12 is provided on the other side of the frame 33 , and the diameter of the second slot 12 is larger than the diameter of the collecting frame 7 , so that the frame 33 can rotate freely.

The pouring plate 9 is preferably made of hard plastic material to facilitate the unloading of strawberries.

[0046] Principle and process of this utility model:

[0047] When using the device, the driving mechanisms 2 on both sides are located in the aisle of the strawberry plantation, and the conveyor belt 3 is located at the upper end of the strawberry plant. The user follows behind the conveyor belt 3 of the device, and operates the controller 4 through the button of the remote controller 6 and the wire 5. The controller 4 controls the electric push rod 15 to be powered on, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 15 drives the U-shaped frame 13 to move through the movable seat 2 14. The U-shaped frame 13 drives the frame 33 of the conveyor belt 3 to rotate with the rotating shaft of the movable seat 4 18 as the axis, so that the lower end of the crawler 31 is closer to the strawberry plant. When the user picks strawberries, the height of the hand can be lowered to achieve a labor-saving effect.

[0048] When the strawberries are placed in the arc-shaped stopper 32 , they are limited therein and will not roll down until they are transported to the top position of the crawler belt 31 and fall into the collection frame 7 under the action of gravity.

[0049] When the U-shaped frame 13 rotates, the collecting frame 7 will be driven to rotate with the rotating shaft of the movable seat 10 as the axis through the movable seat 3 16 and the connecting rod, so that one end of the collecting frame 7 is lifted and always keeps a certain distance from the high point position of the conveyor belt 3, thereby reducing the height of the strawberries falling and protecting the strawberries.

[0050] When the inclination angle of the collecting frame 7 increases, the strawberries will roll to a position close to the baffle 8 under the action of gravity, thereby allowing the collecting frame 7 to accommodate more strawberries.

[0051] After the collection frame 7 is full, the user can place the collection bucket at the lower end of the pouring plate 9, and then pull the baffle 8 out from the inside of the collection frame 7. The strawberries inside will enter the collection bucket through the pouring plate 9, thereby realizing the picking of strawberries.

[0052] After picking is completed in one area, the user can power on the hub motor 23 and rotate it by pressing the button of the remote controller 6, thereby moving the wheel hub motor 23 to the next position to be picked, eliminating the need for manual pushing, and the moving distance can be precisely controlled.

[0053] The driving mechanism 2 can adjust the distance between the supporting plate 1 and the ground so as to make real-time adjustments according to the heights of different strawberry plants to avoid damaging the strawberry plants.

[0054] In summary, the device can avoid waist injuries for pickers and the inconvenience of putting in strawberries.

[0055] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
