Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of picking instruments, and particularly relates to a fruit picking rod. Background Art
[0002] Fruits refer to juicy plant fruits with a mainly sweet and sour taste that are edible. Fruits not only contain rich nutrients but also can promote digestion;
[0003] During the fruit ripening season, fruit farmers need to pick fruits for subsequent consumption or sale. Some fruit trees grow relatively tall, making it difficult to perform high-altitude operations during fruit picking. Although a stepladder can be used to climb the tree to pick fruits, there are significant safety hazards and it cannot guarantee the personal safety of the operators. Moreover, many fruits are closely clustered and the branches are relatively stiff, so there are certain difficulties during operation. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] Aiming at the problems raised in the above background art, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a fruit picking rod.
[0005] To achieve the above technical purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present utility model is as follows:
[0006] A fruit picking rod includes a ferrule. The ferrule is provided with an installation groove. At the central position of the top of the installation groove, two knife rests are hingedly installed. The two knife rests are installed in a V shape. Blades are installed on both knife rests. The other ends of the two knife rests are hingedly installed with support rods. The other ends of the two support rods are jointly hingedly installed with a hinge column. A connecting piece is sleeved at the middle position of the hinge column. The end of the connecting piece is connected with a top platform. The top platform is connected with a pull rod;
[0007] At the bottom of the ferrule in the installation groove, two top blocks are installed. A top groove is formed between the two top blocks. The hinge column is installed in the top groove. The two top blocks are jointly connected with a U-shaped block. The U-shaped block is provided with a through hole. The pull rod is slidably matched with the through hole. A spring is sleeved outside the pull rod. The spring is located between the top platform and the U-shaped block;
[0008] A collection bag is installed on the ferrule. The end of the pull rod is connected with a pull rope. A hand-held rod is installed on the U-shaped block.
[0009] Further defined, the blade is installed in the knife rest in an embedded manner. Such a design prevents the blade from interfering with the edge of the installation groove, resulting in the inability of the knife rest to return to its normal position.
[0010] Further defined, the pull rod is threadedly connected to the top platform. Such a design allows the spring to be replaced by disassembling the pull rod to change the elastic strength and rebound size of the spring.
[0011] Further limitation: The two top blocks are integrally formed with the ferrule. Such a design ensures strength and thus ensures the supporting effect on the support rod.
[0012] Further limitation: The handheld rod is a telescopic handheld rod, and the end of the handheld rod is threadedly connected to the U-shaped block. Such a design achieves the purpose of length adjustment, and the threaded connection method is conducive to disassembly and storage.
[0013] Beneficial effects of adopting the present utility model:
[0014] 1. With the structural design of the present utility model, the ferrule is moved to the fruit by the handheld rod and sleeved outside the fruit, and then the pull rod is directly pulled downward. Under the effect of the two side blades, the purpose of cutting the fruit branch can be achieved, realizing the picking purpose.
[0015] 2. With the structural design of the present utility model, the ferrule is moved to the fruit by the handheld rod and sleeved outside the fruit, and then the pull rope is directly pulled downward. Under the cooperation of the support rod and the top block, the two side knife rests can be made to approach each other, so that the blades installed on the knife rests shear the branches of the fruit, achieving the purpose of picking fruits, which is suitable for fruit trees with relatively hard fruit branches.
[0016] 3. With the structural design of the present utility model, under the effect of the collection bag, the picked and fallen fruits will be buffered by the inner wall of the collection bag and finally stably piled up at the bottom of the collection bag, preventing fruit damage.

[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present utility model, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0025] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, a fruit picking rod of the present utility model includes a ferrule 1, the ferrule 1 is provided with a mounting groove 2, two tool rests 3 are hingedly installed at the center position of the top of the mounting groove 2, the two tool rests 3 are installed in a V shape, both of the two tool rests 3 are installed with blades 4, the other ends of the two tool rests 3 are respectively hingedly installed with support rods 5, the other ends of the two support rods 5 are jointly hingedly installed with a hinge post 6, a connecting piece 7 is sleeved at the middle position of the hinge post 6, the end of the connecting piece 7 is connected with a top platform 8, and the top platform 8 is connected with a pull rod 9;
[0026] Two top blocks 10 are installed in the mounting groove 2 at the bottom of the ferrule 1, a top groove 11 is formed between the two top blocks 10, the hinge post 6 is installed in the top groove 11, the two top blocks 10 are jointly connected with a U-shaped block 12, the U-shaped block 12 is provided with a through hole 13, the pull rod 9 is slidably matched with the through hole 13, and a spring 14 is sleeved outside the pull rod 9, and the spring 14 is located between the top platform 8 and the U-shaped block 12;
[0027] The ferrule 1 is installed with a collection bag 15, the end of the pull rod 9 is connected with a pull rope 16, and the U-shaped block 12 is installed with a hand-held rod 17.
[0028] In this embodiment, when using a fruit picking rod, the hand-held rod 17 is spliced with the ferrule 1, and then the ferrule 1 is moved to the fruit through the hand-held rod 17, and the ferrule 1 is completely sleeved outside the fruit. At this time, the hand-held rod 17 can be directly pulled down, and the ferrule 1 will drop accordingly, so that the blade 4 on the tool rest 3 contacts the fruit branch. Under the effect of the two V-shaped blades 4, thinner branches can be directly cut off, and then the fruit will fall into the collection bag 15 under its own weight for collection. During the falling of the fruit, the collection bag 15 can also play a buffering role, thereby preventing the fruit from being bruised;
[0029] Further, when directly pulling down cannot effectively cut the fruit branch, pull the pull rope 16. Under this pulling force, the pull rod 9 moves downward, causing the two side support rods 5 to also move downward. Under the resistance of the top block 10 and the limit of the top groove 11, the other ends of the two side support rods 5 are forced to approach each other, resulting in the two hinged knife holders 3 approaching each other, and further causing the blades 4 at both ends to close. Under this shearing force, the fruit branch is cut off. Then the fruit will fall into the collection bag 15 under its own weight for collection. During the fruit fall, the collection bag 15 can also play a buffering effect, thereby preventing the fruit from being bruised;
[0030] When the pull rope 16 is released, under the action of the spring 14, the top platform 8 returns to its original position. Under this moving effect, the two knife holders 3 also return to their original positions, leaving an entrance for the fruit to enter the ferrule 1.
[0031] Preferably, the blade 4 is installed in the knife holder 3 in an embedded manner. Such a design prevents the blade 4 from interfering with the edge of the installation groove 2, resulting in the abnormal return of the knife holder 3. In fact, the installation method of the blade 4 can also be considered according to specific situations.
[0032] Preferably, the pull rod 9 is threadedly connected to the top platform 8. Such a design allows the spring 14 to be replaced by disassembling the pull rod 9 to change the elastic strength and rebound size of the spring 14. In fact, the installation method of the pull rod 9 can also be considered according to specific situations.
[0033] Preferably, the two top blocks 10 and the ferrule 1 are integrally formed. Such a design ensures the strength and thus ensures the supporting effect on the support rod 5. In fact, the installation structure of the top block 10 can also be considered according to specific situations.
[0034] Preferably, the handheld rod 17 is a telescopic handheld rod, and the end of the handheld rod 17 is threadedly connected to the U-shaped block 12. Such a design achieves the purpose of length adjustment, and the threaded connection method is conducive to disassembly and storage. In fact, the structure and installation method of the handheld rod 17 can also be considered according to specific situations.
[0035] The above embodiments only exemplarily illustrate the principles and effects of the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical ideas disclosed by the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
