Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a strawberry fruit harvesting tool. Background Art

[0002] Strawberries are delicious, have high nutritional value and economic value, and are loved by the public. Therefore, they are planted more and more. At present, strawberries are generally planted in greenhouses. During the strawberry harvesting period, fruit farmers usually carry the basket in one hand and pick with the other hand, which easily fatigues the hand carrying the basket. In addition, fruit farmers can put the basket on the ground and pick with both hands. When they move to other picking areas after picking one area, they need to pick up the basket by hand for transfer, that is, the basket usually moves closely with the fruit farmers. In addition, the basket can also be placed in one position, and the fruit farmers go to the basket to put the strawberries in after harvesting in different picking areas, which is more cumbersome and time-consuming. In addition, the strawberry peel is very thin and is very easy to be damaged during the picking process. Therefore, when the basket is frequently placed on the ground, the strawberries in the basket are likely to be damaged due to the vibration when the basket touches the ground, thereby affecting the quality and appearance of the strawberries, and then affecting the economic benefits of the fruit farmers.

[0003] Before strawberries are transported by freight, they are usually screened and sorted from baskets, then transferred to turnover baskets, and then loaded onto trucks for transportation. Since strawberries need to be transferred from baskets to turnover baskets after being picked, this transfer step increases the risk of strawberry peel damage. Once the peel is damaged, it is very easy to rot in a short time, thus affecting the quality and appearance of the strawberries, and further affecting the economic benefits of fruit farmers. Therefore, it is urgent to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0014] The technical solution of the utility model is described in detail below through embodiments, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to the embodiments.

[0015] The utility model is a strawberry fruit harvesting tool. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a bracket, a hanging rope 4 and a turnover basket 6. The bracket has two upright poles 1 and a horizontal sliding rod 2 detachably connected to the top of the two upright poles 1. The upper end of the hanging rope 4 is connected to a first ring 3, which is set on the sliding rod 2 and slidably connected to the sliding rod 2. The lower end of the hanging rope 4 is connected to the upper ends of four hanging ropes 5, and the lower end of each hanging rope 5 is connected to a hook (not shown). A hanging hole is set on each of the four protruding rods 61 protruding upward at the four corners of the top of the turnover basket 6, and the hook at the lower end of the hanging rope 5 hooks the hanging hole to make the turnover basket 6 suspended, horizontal and detachable. The height of the above-mentioned upright pole 1 can be determined according to the shoulder height of the strawberry greenhouse and the need for convenient operation, generally 1.5-2.0 meters. The length of the sliding rod 2 is determined according to the distance from the furrow on the side of the greenhouse, which can be 6-8m. The lengths of the four hanging ropes 5 are the same, so that the suspended turnover basket 6 can be as horizontal as possible. The lengths of the hanging rope 4 and the hanging rope 5 are determined according to actual needs.

[0016] A cross bar 7 is vertically welded to the lower end of each upright pole 1, and the welding point is the middle of the cross bar 7. The cross bar 7 is perpendicular to the slide bar 2. A roller 8 is installed at both ends of the bottom of the cross bar 7. The roller 8 is a universal wheel. The length of the cross bar 7 is not less than 1.5 times the diameter of the roller 8. The diameter of the roller 8 is 20-30 cm. Generally, the longer the cross bar 7 and the larger the diameter of the roller 8, the more stable the bracket is.

[0017] A second ring 9 is welded on the top of the two uprights 1, and the slide bar 2 is inserted into the two second rings 9. A through screw hole is opened on the second ring 9, and the screw hole channel points to the center of the second ring 9. A bolt 10 is threadedly connected in the screw hole.

[0018] In actual use, the vertical poles 1 are first placed in the ridges on the sides of the greenhouse, the slide bar 2 is inserted into the second ring 9 on the top of the two vertical poles 1, and then the bolts 10 are tightened to fix the slide bar 2 relative to the vertical pole 1. At this time, the slide bar 2 is perpendicular to the length direction of the planting ridge, and the cross bar 7 is parallel to the length direction of the planting ridge. Then the hook at the lower end of the hanging rope 5 is hooked on the hanging hole on the turnover basket 6, so that the turnover basket 6 remains horizontal, suspended and located above the strawberry plants. Then the strawberries are picked. The picked strawberries can be put into the turnover basket 6 at any time. When it is necessary to shift, the turnover basket 6 is pushed by hand to make the first ring 3 slide along the slide bar 2 to a predetermined position, and then continue to pick; during picking, only strawberries of a certain size can be picked, which can save the subsequent screening steps, avoid peel damage and save time. After picking an area, the bracket needs to be shifted. At this time, pushing the vertical pole 1 can make the roller 8 in the ridge move back and forth, thereby realizing the harvest of the entire greenhouse. When the turnover basket 6 is filled with strawberries, the turnover basket 6 is taken off the hook and sent to the freight truck for loading.

[0019] The strawberry fruit harvesting tool can also add multiple hanging ropes 4, hanging ropes 5 and turnover baskets 6 on the slide bar 2, that is, multiple people can work at the same time; it can also be used for other field management work such as old strawberry leaves, residual fruit stalks, thinning flowers and fruits, etc.
