The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0021] The utility model embodiment provides a mobile strawberry picker, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the mobile strawberry picker includes: a base plate 1, a plurality of universal wheels 2 for movement are symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom of the base plate 1; a mounting plate 3, the mounting plate 3 is arranged at the bottom of the base plate 1; a push handle frame 4 for grasping, the push handle frame 4 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 3; a liftable placement plate 5, the placement plate 5 is arranged on the mounting plate 3, a socket 7 is opened on the placement plate 5, and a fruit shear 8 for picking strawberries is arranged in the socket 7; a collecting basket 6 for holding strawberries, the collecting basket 6 is arranged on the placement plate 5; and an adjusting mechanism arranged on the mounting plate 3 for adjusting the lifting and lowering of the placement plate 5.

[0022] It should be noted that with the annual expansion of strawberry planting area, the picking workload has increased significantly. The traditional strawberry picking method has become increasingly difficult to meet the needs of modern agricultural production. The traditional picking method mainly relies on manual labor. Pickers hold baskets and walk in the strawberry field to check and pick ripe strawberries one by one. The shortcomings of this method are mainly reflected in the following aspects: Strawberry plants are usually short and the planting density is large. Pickers need to keep bending or squatting for a long time to work. This posture is not only prone to fatigue and strain of the waist and cervical spine, but also may increase the risk of occupational diseases such as lumbar sprains and cervical pain. In addition, long-term work in the field also requires facing harsh environments such as high temperature and humidity, which further aggravates the labor intensity of pickers; due to the need to check and pick strawberries one by one, the traditional picking method is inefficient. Pickers need to spend a lot of time walking in the field and bending over to check, but the time actually spent on picking is relatively short. In addition, the capacity of the basket is limited. When the basket is full, the pickers need to stop and dump the strawberries, and then return to the field to continue picking, which further reduces the picking efficiency. In summary, the traditional strawberry picking method can no longer meet the needs of modern agricultural production. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to develop a mobile strawberry picker to solve the above problems.

[0023] In this embodiment, the base plate 1 is the basis of the entire picker, and a plurality of universal wheels 2 are symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom thereof, so that the picker can be easily moved in the strawberry field, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of picking; the mounting plate 3 is arranged at the bottom of the base plate 1, and is used to fix and support other components, such as the push handle frame 4 and the adjustment mechanism, etc.; the push handle frame 4 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 3, providing a convenient gripping point for the pickers, so that the picker can be pushed like a wheelbarrow, further reducing the labor intensity of the pickers; the placement plate 5 is arranged on the mounting plate 3, and its liftable design allows the pickers to adjust the height according to their own height and comfort, and a fruit shear 8 is arranged in the socket 7 provided on the placement plate 5, so that the pickers can pick strawberries at any time conveniently; the collecting basket 6 is placed on the placement plate 5, and is used to hold the picked strawberries. Compared with the traditional basket, the collection basket 6 has a larger capacity, which reduces the number of times the pickers frequently dump strawberries and improves the picking efficiency; the adjustment mechanism is set on the mounting plate 3 to adjust the lifting of the placement plate 5. Through the adjustment mechanism, the pickers can easily adjust the placement plate 5 to a suitable height to adapt to different picking needs; the picker adopts a lifting design, and the pickers can adjust the height according to their own comfort, avoiding the waist and cervical fatigue caused by long-term bending or squatting. At the same time, the design of the push handle frame allows the picker to be pushed like a cart, reducing the walking distance of the pickers and further reducing the labor intensity; the collection basket 6 on the picker has a larger capacity, which reduces the number of times the pickers frequently dump strawberries. At the same time, the setting of the fruit shear allows the pickers to pick strawberries quickly and improves the picking efficiency; the universal wheel design of the picker allows it to move flexibly under different terrains and soil conditions to adapt to the operation needs of various strawberry fields; the picker has a simple structure and is easy to operate, and can be used without complex training.
