Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of agricultural product collection technology, and particularly relates to an oil palm fruit picking tool, an oil palm fruit picking device, and an oil palm fruit picking equipment. Background Art

[0002] At present, the mechanization degree of the oil palm planting industry is quite low. Oil palms are mainly produced in Southeast Asian countries, Africa, and South America. When the oil palm trees bear fruit, the height is more than 3 meters. Palm fruits can be used as important industrial and livelihood raw materials. At present, the general picking method is manual picking. When picking, it is necessary to first cut the leaves below the fruit, and then cut the oil palm fruit. The labor intensity and difficulty are relatively large, and other leaves and immature fruits cannot be damaged. Then the fruits are collected by the roadside and then collected into the truck bed by a small transport vehicle. In this traditional operation mode, the fruits fall to the ground once during picking, and fall to the ground again when the fruits are collected by the roadside. Each time the fruits fall to the ground, it will cause a certain degree of damage and scattering, resulting in economic losses, and it is necessary to collect the fruits again, which further prolongs the working time.

[0003] At present, simple harvesting tools have also appeared on the market, and most of them are hand-held tools.

[0004] The publicly disclosed patent CN201310495930.4 discloses an electric palm fruit picking machine, which only cuts off the leaves or fruit stalks, and the fruits still fall to the ground, and it is necessary to collect the fruits again. It cannot achieve harvesting and collection at the same time. Each time the fruits fall to the ground, fruit grains will fall off, resulting in economic losses, and the improvement of work efficiency is not obvious.

Its chain saw form is not suitable for cutting multi-fibrous oil palm leaves and hidden fruit stalks, and it is easy to damage other immature fruits and leaves. The clamping device cannot clamp the oil palm fruits, and it will prevent the cutting of oil palm leaves.

[0006] The publicly disclosed patent CNCN112219556A discloses an adaptive oil palm fruit picking tool and its picking execution device. Its picking tool only has two blades that cross each other, but because the leaf fibers of the oil palm tree are tough and easy to get caught between the blades, there are often situations where the fruit stalks or leaves cannot be cut off at one time; in addition, although the picking execution device can achieve the picking of oil palm fruits, the operable height and width range are small, and there are certain safety risks; in addition, how to collect and transport the picked fruits is also an urgent problem to be solved.

[0028] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but the following embodiments are by no means intended to limit the present invention in any way.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The oil palm fruit picking tool comprises a shearing component and an adaptive clamping component mounted on a tool holder 8.

[0031] The tool rest 8 is a tool rest body formed by sequentially and perpendicularly connecting an upper strip plate, a vertical plate, and a lower strip plate, and is arranged with the opening facing forward; strip through holes penetrating up and down are respectively formed in the front end plate surfaces of the upper strip plate and the lower strip plate along the length direction, and a third pin shaft 11 is inserted into the two strip through holes. Limit nuts are arranged at both ends of the third pin shaft 11 to limit it to reciprocate and slide in the two strip through holes.

[0032] The shearing assembly includes a blade group, a link mechanism, and a sliding shearing mechanism that are sequentially arranged on the tool rest 8 from front to back.

[0033] The blade group includes a first blade 1a, a second blade 1b, and a third blade 1c; among them, the first blade 1a and the second blade 1b are horizontally arranged with their cutting edges staggered with each other, and the rear sides of the two are respectively pivotally connected to both sides of the front end of the tool rest 8 through two first pin shafts 7, so that the first blade 1a and the second blade 1b can respectively rotate around the axes of their respective first pin shafts 7 to perform staggered shearing actions and separating opening actions from each other; the third blade 1c is horizontally arranged above the first blade 1a and the second blade 1b; as a preferred implementation, the front ends of the first blade 1a and the second blade 1b are bent inward into a hook shape, so that when the first blade 1a and the second blade 1b clamp the fruit stalk and apply a shearing force, a closed shearing space is formed by the hook-shaped structures at their front ends to prevent the fruit stalk or leaves from slipping outside the blade group.

[0034] The link mechanism is composed of two link rods 9 arranged between the upper strip plate and the lower strip plate of the tool rest 8. The front ends of the two are respectively pivotally connected to the rear ends of the first blade 1a and the second blade 1b through two second pin shafts 5, and the rear ends of the two are sleeved on the lower side of the third pin shaft 11, so that the two can reciprocate with the third pin shaft 11 in the strip through holes of the tool rest 8 to form a linkage;

[0035] The sliding drive mechanism includes a slider 23, a guide rail 24, and a shearing oil cylinder 10. Among them, the guide rail 24 is arranged along the length direction of the tool rest 8 and is composed of two tracks symmetrically fixed on the bottom surface of the upper strip plate along the length direction of the tool rest 8. Each track is fixed to the upper strip plate at both ends through an eighth bolt 26 respectively. And, on the opposite side surfaces of the two tracks, two strip-shaped track grooves are symmetrically opened along the length direction of the tool rest 8. The slider 23 is installed in the two strip-shaped track grooves through the protrusions symmetrically arranged on the side walls on both sides thereof, so that the slider 23 reciprocates along the length direction of the tool rest 8 under the guiding action of the guide rail 24. The rear end of the slider 23 is sleeved on the upper side of the third pin shaft 11 through the through hole opened thereon to move synchronously with the third pin shaft 11. The shearing oil cylinder 10 is arranged on the tool rest 8 with its piston end facing forward, and is specifically clamped between the upper strip plate and the lower strip plate thereof and is connected and fixed as a whole through a fourth pin shaft 12. A connecting ring is fixed to the piston end of the shearing oil cylinder 10, and the connecting ring is also sleeved on the third pin shaft 11, so that the piston end of the shearing oil cylinder 10 is connected to the third pin shaft 11 through the connecting ring, and the third pin shaft 11 is driven by the shearing oil cylinder 10 to reciprocate horizontally in the strip-shaped through hole along the length direction of the tool rest 8. A slot is provided on the front end face of the slider 23, so that the rear end of the third blade 1c is inserted into the front slot of the slider 23 and is fixed to the front end of the slider 23 through a seventh bolt 25 passed through the third blade 1c and the slider 23.

[0036] In this embodiment, the shearing oil cylinder 10 drives the third pin shaft 11 to reciprocate in the strip-shaped through hole. The third pin shaft 11 is restricted in the strip-shaped through hole along the tool rest 8 to drive the two connecting rods 9 and the slider 23 to reciprocate synchronously. Since the front ends of the two connecting rods 9 are respectively connected to the first blade 1a and the second blade 1b at the same time, and the front end of the slider is connected to the third blade 1c, the first blade 1a and the second blade 1b respectively rotate around the axis of the first pin shaft 7, and the third blade 1c reciprocates along the guide rail 24 together with the slider 23. Since the three blades are arranged in a staggered manner with each other, a shearing action is realized under the driving action of the shearing oil cylinder 10 to complete the shearing of leaves or the picking of fruits, and the third blade effectively improves the success rate of one-time shearing.

[0037] The adaptive clamping assembly includes a claw 2 which is split into two parts, and the two parts are symmetrically arranged at the outer edges of the upper surfaces of the first blade 1a and the second blade 1b, and the rear ends of the two parts are pivotally connected to the rear sides of the two blades through two first bolts 3, so that the two claws 2 can rotate around their respective first bolts 3 to achieve clamping and opening; a torsion spring 6 is also mounted on each first bolt 3, the bottom end of the torsion spring 6 is mounted on the second pin 5, and the top end of the torsion spring 6 is clamped on the outer surface of the claw 2, so that the claw 2 has a certain clamping force; a limiter 4 is respectively arranged on the first blade 1a and the second blade 1b and located on the inner side of the claw 2, so that the claw 2 can be opened synchronously with the shearing assembly 1, and when the shearing assembly 1 is closed, the claw 2 can hold the fruit tightly under the elastic force of the torsion spring 6, so as to collect the fruit while shearing; or when there is no external obstruction, the claw 2 is synchronously closed to the limiter 4 under the elastic force of the torsion spring 6 when the shearing assembly 1 is closed, so that the adaptive oil palm fruit picking tool is restored to the initial state.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment, the claws 2 are composed of a horizontally arranged long arc claw and a short arc claw vertically fixed on the long arc claw. The two are arranged on the blade in a shape of a circle and bent toward the blade side. Tooth-like protrusions are arranged on the edge sides of the long arc claw and the short arc claw that abut against the fruit.

[0039] Working principle of the adaptive palm fruit harvesting tool:

[0040] Driven by the shearing cylinder 10, the shearing assembly drives the three blades to move and shear respectively through the connecting rod mechanism and the slider mechanism. At the same time, as the shearing blades move, the adaptive clamping mechanism will follow the movement. When the claw 2 contacts the fruit, it stops rotating. At this time, the shearing assembly continues to move until the fruit stalk is cut off. At the same time, the left and right clamping forces provided by the claw 2 on the torsion spring 6 will increase with the movement of the two blades, providing different clamping forces according to the size of the fruit. The tooth-shaped protrusions provided on the claw 2 make the left and right clamping more reliable, which helps to achieve synchronization between shearing and clamping, and adapt to the size of the fruit, that is, the larger the fruit, the greater the clamping force, and the smaller the fruit, the smaller the clamping force, so as to adapt to fruits of different sizes, provide reliable clamping, and prevent the fruit from falling to the ground and causing losses; when the shearing is completed, the first blade 1a, the second blade 1b and the third blade 1c are opened under the action of the shearing cylinder 10, and the claw follows to open, and the automatic unloading of the fruit is completed under the action of gravity. In addition, the special shape of the claw will not penetrate the leaves when shearing, and will not cause the phenomenon of hooking the leaves, thereby improving work efficiency.
