Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of agricultural tools, in particular to a fruit picking device. Background Art

[0002] Fruit picking is usually seasonal. As the fruit harvest season approaches, fruit farmers need to harvest as quickly as possible to avoid over-ripening. In addition, for taller fruit trees, such as mangoes and bayberries, the fruit is located at a higher position and the trunks are relatively thin. If fruit farmers climb on the trees to pick fruit, there is a risk of branches breaking and falling from the trees. If ladders are used for picking, workers have to keep moving when picking fruit at different positions and heights, which is inefficient.

[0003] In order to facilitate fruit farmers to pick fruits better, technicians have developed a fruit picker to pick fruits, which makes it easier for fruit farmers to pick fruits; for example, the fruit picker involved in the utility model with the authorization publication number CN2935768Y includes a hollow support rod and an inverted cone collection groove connected to one end of the support rod, the support rod is connected to the small end of the inverted cone collection groove, a shovel is connected to the edge of the inverted cone collection groove, and the blade of the shovel is higher than the opening of the collection groove, and the other end of the support rod is connected to a collection bag. When picking fruits, the shovel is driven to cut the fruits from the tree, and the cut fruits fall into the inverted cone collection groove, which guides the fruits into the support rod and finally falls into the collection bag.

[0004] However, fruit farmers have found in actual use that when picking fruits with existing fruit pickers, they need to find the connection part of the fruit and then cut it. If the fruit farmers are not familiar with the operation, they cannot remotely drive the shovel to cut the fruit, and they need to find the connection between the fruit and the fruit tree before cutting, and then cut it several times before the fruit can be successfully picked from the fruit tree, which is inconvenient for picking fruits and the picking efficiency of the fruit picker is low. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the existing problem that the shovel cannot be driven remotely to cut the fruit, making it inconvenient to pick the fruit, the present application provides a tree fruit picker that can remotely drive the picking knife to pick the fruit according to the different heights of the fruit and is easy to operate and highly practical.

[0008] The driving assembly includes a driving sleeve arranged on the support rod, a driving rod arranged on the driving sleeve and a first connecting ring arranged on the picking knife. The driving sleeve is slidably fitted with the support rod along the length direction of the support rod. A second connecting ring is arranged at one end of the driving rod away from the driving sleeve. The first connecting ring is interlocked with the second connecting ring. When the driving sleeve slides along the length direction of the support rod, the picking knife is driven to rotate. The driving rod is also telescopically arranged.

[0009] Through the above technical scheme, when picking, according to the distance of the position of the fruit, the support rod and the driving rod are telescopic, the support rod and the driving rod are adjusted to the required length, and then the support rod is driven to make the fruit close to the picking knife, and the driving sleeve is driven to slide along the length direction of the support rod, so that the driving sleeve drives the driving rod to move, and the driving rod pulls the first connecting ring, and the first connecting ring drives the second connecting ring to move, so that the second connecting ring drives the picking knife to rotate, and the fruit is picked. Therefore, by adjusting the length of the support rod and the driving rod, and remotely controlling the picking knife to pick through structures such as the driving sleeve and the driving rod, it is convenient to pick fruits at different distances, thereby making the operation more convenient and more practical.

[0010] Preferably, the support rod is a snap-on telescopic rod.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the buckle-type telescopic rod can automatically lock each section of the rod when it is pulled out to a predetermined length through the internal buckle to prevent sliding and retraction, and has the characteristics of convenience, stability, safety and economy. When the fruit is at a higher position, by stretching and extending the support rod, the support rod is kept in an extended state, and the picking head can be easily moved close to the fruit at a higher position for picking.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, when picking fruits, the collecting cover is located under the fruits by driving the supporting rod, and the picking knife is close to the branch connected to the fruits. The driving sleeve is driven to slide along the length direction of the supporting rod to drive the driving rod to move, so that the first connecting ring drives the second connecting ring to move, and the second connecting ring drives the picking knife and the second hinge block to rotate, so that the picking knife moves from close to the first hinge block to close to the inside of the collecting cover, picks the fruits, and the fruits fall into the collecting cover and are led out from the supporting rod at one end away from the collecting cover.

[0014] Preferably, a guide edge is arranged around the inner wall of the collecting hood, and the guide edge is arranged to be contracted from away from the support rod to close to the support rod.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the guide edge can help guide the picked fruits to the support rod, thereby preventing the picked fruits from piling up on the collection cover.

[0016] Preferably, the picking knife includes a connecting section and a picking section for picking and guiding fruits to fall into a collecting cover, the connecting section is connected to the second hinge block, the picking section is arranged in an arc shape, the picking section is provided with a picking groove, the picking groove passes through the upper and lower surfaces of the picking section and is connected to one end of the picking section, and the groove walls of the picking groove are provided with sharp cutting edges.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, when picking, the support rod is driven to make the fruit close to the picking section, and the branch connected to the fruit is located in the picking groove, and then the connecting section is driven by the driving component, so that the connecting section drives the second hinge block to rotate close to the inside of the collecting cover, and the branch is cut off by the sharp cutting edge. The fruit falls into the collecting cover through the curved arc of the picking section and is guided out from the support rod at one end away from the collecting cover, which is conducive to better picking the fruit and guiding it into the collecting groove to prevent the fruit from falling and breaking directly after being picked.

[0018] Preferably, a first fixed block is provided on the first hinge block, the first fixed block is close to the second hinge block, a second fixed block is provided on the second hinge block, the second fixed block is close to the first hinge block, a return spring is connected between the first fixed block and the second fixed block, and both ends of the return spring are respectively connected to the first fixed block and the second fixed block.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, in a natural state, the return spring makes the picking knife close to the first hinge block, and the return spring is used to automatically reset the picking knife after picking.

[0020] Preferably, a slideway is provided on the support rod, and the slideway is distributed along the length direction of the support rod. A slide groove is provided on the inner side of the driving sleeve, and the slideway and the slide groove are slidably matched with each other.

[0021] Through the above technical solution, the mutual sliding cooperation between the slideway and the slide groove is conducive to preventing the drive sleeve from rotating during the sliding process, making the sliding process smoother.

[0022] Preferably, the outer wall of the support rod is provided with a first limit block and a second limit block, the first limit block and the second limit block are opposite to each other along the length direction of the slide, the first limit block is sleeved on the driving rod and abuts against one end of the slide, and the second limit block abuts against the other end of the slide.

[0023] Through the above technical solution, when the support rod is stretched, the support rod is stretched by loosening the locking member, and as it is gradually stretched, the driving sleeve abuts against the first limit block, and the driving rod is driven to stretch synchronously through the action of the first limit block. When the support rod is stretched to a suitable position, the driving rod can be synchronously reached to the corresponding position, and the driving rod is locked by the locking member, and the picking work can be carried out. Similarly, when the support rod is retracted, the support rod is retracted by loosening the locking member, and as it is gradually retracted, the driving sleeve abuts against the second limit block, and the driving rod is driven to shrink synchronously through the action of the second limit block, and the picking work can be carried out. Therefore, the first limit block and the second limit block can be used to extend and retract the support rod while extending and retracting the driving rod, and the driving rod is positioned. The first limit block and the second limit block are also conducive to limiting the sliding distance of the driving sleeve, thereby limiting the rotation range of the picking knife to prevent excessive rotation from damaging the equipment.

[0024] Preferably, the driving rod is also provided with a locking member for locking or loosening the driving rod.

[0025] Through the above technical solution, the locking member is helpful to prevent the driving rod from extending and retracting during the process of driving the picking knife to affect the driving effect, and can ensure that the picking knife is driven to pick.

[0026] Preferably, a collecting bag is further provided at one end of the support rod, and the collecting bag is away from the collecting cover.

[0027] Through the above technical solution, when the fruit falls into the picking head and is led out from the support rod at one end away from the collecting cover, the fruit falls into the collecting cover, thereby conveniently collecting the picked fruit.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0039] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a fruit picker comprises a retractable support rod 1, a picking head 2 connected to the support rod 1, and a driving assembly 3 for driving the picking head 2 to pick fruits. When picking fruits, the picking head 2 is supported by the support rod 1 and brought close to the fruits, and the picking head 2 is driven by the driving assembly 3 to pick fruits.

[0041] Among them, refer to Figure 1 The support rod 1 is a hollow round rod, and the support rod 1 is a snap-on telescopic rod. The snap-on telescopic rod is a relatively common technology in the prior art. Through the internal snap, each section of the rod can be automatically locked when it is pulled out to a predetermined length to prevent sliding and retraction. It has the characteristics of convenience, stability, safety and economy. When the fruit is at a higher position, by stretching and extending the support rod 1, the support rod 1 is kept in an expanded state, and the picking head 2 can be easily moved close to the fruit at a higher position for picking. When the fruit is at a lower position, by retracting the support rod 1, the support rod 1 can be kept in a contracted state, and the picking head 2 can be easily moved close to the fruit at a lower position for picking.

[0042] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The picking head 2 includes a collecting cover 21 in an inverted cone shape and a picking knife 22 hinged to the collecting cover 21. The collecting cover 21 is also hollow, with one end of the collecting cover 21 being a large mouth end and the other end being a small mouth end, and the small mouth end of the collecting cover 21 is connected to one end of the support rod 1. Therefore, when picking fruits, the collecting cover 21 is located below the fruits by driving the support rod 1, and the picking knife 22 is driven by the driving component 3 to pick the fruits. The fruits fall into the collecting cover 21, enter the support rod 1, and are guided out from the support rod 1 away from one end of the collecting cover 21. In addition, a guide edge 211 is arranged around the inside of the collecting cover 21, and the guide edge 211 is contracted from close to the large mouth end to close to the small mouth end, so that the picked fruits are guided to the support rod 1 by the guide edge 211.

[0043] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The outer wall of the collection cover 21 is provided with a first hinge block 23, which is arranged in a long strip shape and distributed from the small end to the large end of the collection cover 21. The first hinge block 23 is adapted to the curvature of the outer wall of the collection cover 21, and one end of the first hinge block 23 protrudes from the large end of the collection cover 21. The end of the first hinge block 23 protruding from the collection cover 21 is hinged with a second hinge block 24, which is also arranged in a long strip shape and rotates from close to the first hinge block 23 to close to the inside of the collection cover 21.

[0044] Continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The picking knife 22 is arranged on the second hinge block 24. The cross section of the picking knife 22 is J-shaped. The picking knife 22 includes two sections, one section is a relatively straight connecting section 221, and the other section is an arc-shaped picking section 222. Among them, the connecting section 221 is distributed along the length direction of the second intersection block, the connecting section 221 is connected to the second hinge block 24, and when the second hinge block 24 rotates to the collecting cover 21, the picking section 222 is bent outward. In addition, the picking section 222 is also provided with a picking groove 223, the picking groove 223 is triangular in shape, the picking groove 223 is away from the connecting section 221, the picking groove 223 runs through the upper and lower surfaces of the picking section 222 and is connected to one end of the picking section 222. The groove wall of the picking groove 223 is provided with a sharp cutting edge 224, and the cutting edge 224 is used to conveniently pick the fruit. Therefore, when picking, the fruit is moved close to the picking section 222 by driving the support rod 1, and the branch connected to the fruit is located in the picking groove 223, and then the connecting section 221 is driven by the driving assembly 3, so that the connecting section 221 drives the second hinge block 24 to rotate close to the inside of the collecting cover 21, and the branch is cut off by the sharp cutting edge 224, and the fruit falls into the collecting cover 21 through the curved arc of the picking section 222, and is guided out from the support rod 1 at one end away from the collecting cover 21, and the picking is completed. This is conducive to better picking the fruit and guiding it into the collecting groove, preventing the fruit from falling and breaking directly after picking.

[0045] In addition, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first hinge block 23 is provided with a first fixed block 25, and the first fixed block 25 is located on the side of the first hinge block 23 close to the second hinge block 24. The second fixed block 26 is provided on the second hinge block 24, and the second fixed block 26 is located on the side of the second hinge block 24 close to the first hinge block 23. A return spring 27 is connected between the first fixed block 25 and the second fixed block 26, and the two ends of the return spring 27 are respectively connected to the first fixed block 25 and the second fixed block 26, so that in the natural state, the second hinge block 24 is close to the first hinge block 23, that is, the picking knife 22 is close to the first hinge block 23. The return spring 27 is used to automatically reset after picking.

[0046] When picking, the return spring 27 makes the picking knife 22 approach the first hinge block 23, adjusts the required length of the support rod 1, and drives the support rod 1 to make the fruit approach the picking section 222, and the branch connected to the fruit is located in the picking groove 223, and the connecting section 221 is driven by the driving component 3, so that the connecting section 221 drives the second hinge block 24 to rotate toward the inside of the collecting cover 21, and along with the rotation of the connecting section 221, the picking section 222 gradually approaches and abuts against the fruit, and the cutting edge 224 cuts off the branch, and the fruit falls into the collecting cover 21 along the curved arc of the picking section 222, and is led out from the support rod 1 at one end away from the collecting cover 21, so that the picking can be completed quickly.

[0047] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The driving assembly 3 includes a driving sleeve 31 sleeved on the support rod 1, a driving rod 32 arranged on the driving sleeve 31, and a first connecting ring 33 arranged on the picking knife 22. A slideway 11 is arranged on the support rod 1, and the slideway 11 is distributed along the length direction of the support rod 1, and the slideway 11 is far away from the collecting cover 21. A slide groove is provided on the inner side of the driving sleeve 31, and the slideway 11 and the slide groove slide and cooperate with each other, that is, the driving sleeve 31 slides and cooperates with the support rod 1 along the length direction of the support rod 1. The mutual sliding cooperation between the slideway 11 and the slide groove prevents the driving sleeve 31 from rotating during the sliding process, making the sliding process smoother.

[0048] Continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The driving rod 32 is also a telescopic rod, and the driving rod 32 is a round rod, and the diameter of the cross section of the driving rod 32 is smaller than the diameter of the cross section of the support rod 1. One end of the driving rod 32 is connected to the driving sleeve 31, and the end of the driving rod 32 away from the driving sleeve 31 extends into the collecting cover 21. The first connecting ring 33 is located at the connecting section 221 of the picking knife 22, and the first connecting ring 33 is away from the second fixing block 26. The end of the driving rod 32 extending into the collecting cover 21 is provided with a second connecting ring 34, and the second connecting ring 34 is buckled with the first connecting ring 33.

[0049] Therefore, when the picking knife 22 is driven, the driving sleeve 31 is driven to slide along the length direction of the slideway 11, so that the driving sleeve 31 drives the driving rod 32 to move, and the driving rod 32 pulls the first connecting ring 33 to drive the connecting section 221 to rotate, so that the connecting section 221 drives the second hinge block 24 to rotate toward the inside of the collection cover 21 to perform picking. After the picking is completed, the driving sleeve 31 is released, and the reset spring 27 drives the picking knife 22 to approach the first hinge block 23, thereby driving the driving rod 32 and the driving sleeve 31 to reset.

[0050] Continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The driving rod 32 is also provided with a locking piece 35 for locking or loosening the driving rod 32. In this embodiment, the locking piece 35 is a spring buckle lock in the prior art. The spring buckle lock can be used for extension and locking operations with simple operations. The length of the driving rod 32 can be quickly adjusted and quickly locked to the desired position, which is suitable for scenarios that require frequent adjustments.

[0051] In addition, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The outer wall of the support rod 1 is provided with a first limit block 12 and a second limit block 13, and the first limit block 12 and the second limit block 13 are opposite to each other along the length direction of the slideway 11, wherein the first limit block 12 is sleeved on the driving rod 32 and abuts against one end of the slideway 11, and the second limit block 13 abuts against one end of the slideway 11 away from the first limit block 12. Therefore, the first limit block 12 and the second limit block 13 are conducive to limiting the sliding distance of the driving sleeve 31, thereby limiting the rotation range of the picking knife 22, and preventing excessive rotation from damaging the equipment.

[0052] When the support rod 1 is stretched, the support rod 1 is stretched by loosening the locking member 35. As the support rod 1 is stretched gradually, the driving sleeve 31 abuts against the first limit block 12. The driving rod 32 is driven to stretch synchronously by the action of the first limit block 12. When the support rod 1 is stretched to a suitable position, the driving rod 32 can reach the corresponding position synchronously. The driving rod 32 is locked by the locking member 35, and the picking work can be carried out. Similarly, when the support rod 1 is retracted, the support rod 1 is retracted by loosening the locking member 35. As the support rod 1 is retracted gradually, the driving sleeve 31 abuts against the second limit block 13. The driving rod 32 is driven to shrink synchronously by the action of the second limit block 13. When the support rod 1 is retracted to a suitable position, the driving sleeve 31 abuts against the first limit block 12. The driving rod 32 is locked by the locking member 35, and the picking work can be carried out. Therefore, the first limit block 12 and the second limit block 13 can extend and retract the support rod 1 while extending and retracting the drive rod 32 and positioning the drive rod 32. The locking piece 35 helps prevent the drive rod 32 from extending and retracting during the driving process of the picking knife 22, thereby affecting the driving effect.

[0053] Reference Figure 5 In order to facilitate the collection of harvested fruits, a collecting bag 4 is also provided at one end of the support rod 1, and the collecting bag 4 is away from the collecting cover 21. When the fruit falls into the picking head 2 and is guided out from the support rod 1 at one end away from the collecting cover 21, the fruit falls into the collecting cover 21, thereby conveniently collecting the picked fruit.

[0054] The implementation principle of the utility model is:

[0055] When stretching the support rod 1, the locking piece 35 is loosened to stretch the support rod 1. As the support rod 1 is gradually stretched, the driving sleeve 31 abuts against the first limit block 12. Through the action of the first limit block 12, the driving rod 32 is driven to stretch synchronously. When the support rod 1 is stretched to a suitable position, the driving rod 32 can reach the corresponding position synchronously. The driving rod 32 is locked by the locking piece 35, and the picking work can be carried out.

[0056] When the support rod 1 is retracted, the locking piece 35 is loosened to retract the support rod 1. As the support rod 1 is gradually retracted, the driving sleeve 31 abuts against the second limit block 13. Through the action of the second limit block 13, the driving rod 32 is driven to retract synchronously. When the support rod 1 is retracted to a suitable position, the driving sleeve 31 abuts against the first limit block 12, and the driving rod 32 is locked by the locking piece 35, and the picking work can be carried out.

[0057] During picking, the picking knife 22 is brought close to the first hinge block 23 by the return spring 27, and the fruit is brought close to the picking section 222 by driving the support rod 1, and the branch connected to the fruit is located in the picking groove 223, and the driving sleeve 31 is driven to slide along the length direction of the slide 11, so that the driving sleeve 31 drives the driving rod 32 to move, and the driving rod 32 pulls the first connecting ring 33 to drive the connecting section 221 to rotate, so that the connecting section 221 drives the second hinge block 24 to rotate toward the inside of the collecting cover 21, and along with the rotation of the connecting section 221, the picking section 222 gradually approaches and abuts against the fruit, and the cutting edge 224 cuts off the branch, and the fruit falls into the collecting cover 21 along the curved arc of the picking section 222, and is led out from the support rod 1 at one end away from the collecting cover 21 to the collecting bag 4, so that the picking can be completed quickly.

[0058] Thus, by adjusting the length of the support rod 1 and the driving rod 32, and remotely controlling the picking knife 22 for picking through the driving sleeve 31, the driving rod 32 and other structures, fruits at different positions and distances can be picked conveniently, making the operation more convenient and more practical.

[0059] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, and these modifications or replacements should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
