Specific embodiments

[0018] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2 In the embodiment proposed by this application: A portable kiwifruit picking device includes a connecting rod 1. A picking port 2 is horizontally arranged at the top of the connecting rod 1. The picking port 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 1 through a fixing block 3. A collecting net 4 is arranged below the picking port 2. The bottom of the collecting net 4 is communicated with a collecting device. Symmetric cutting knives 5 are respectively arranged at the upper left and right ends at the upper side of the picking port 2. The fixing block 3 is provided with a driving structure 6 corresponding to the two cutting knives 5. A handle 9 is arranged at the bottom of the connecting rod 1. A control button 7 for controlling the driving structure 6 is arranged at the handle 9;

[0020] By holding the handle 9 to cover the picking port 2 on the kiwifruit to be picked and pressing the control button 7, the driving structure 6 is started to drive the cutting knife 5 to cut off the root of the kiwifruit. The picking is convenient and fast. The picked kiwifruit slides into the collecting device through the collecting net, eliminating the need for manual placement of the kiwifruit into an external collecting device, reducing the workload of manual labor, and at the same time, the overall design structure is simple and easy to carry.

[0021] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and 2 The driving structure 6 includes two connecting columns 61 horizontally arranged on the front and rear sides of the picking port 2. The right ends of the two connecting columns 61 are fixed to the left side of the fixing block 3. Limiting chutes 62 are respectively horizontally opened at the corresponding sides of the two connecting columns 61 corresponding to the ends of the cutting knives 5. Limiting sliders 51 which are slidably connected thereto are respectively arranged at the front and rear ends of the two cutting knives 5 corresponding to the limiting chutes 62. Bidirectional screws 63 are respectively horizontally rotatably inserted into the two limiting chutes 62. The bidirectional screws 63 pass through the corresponding limiting sliders 51 and are threadedly connected thereto. A driving assembly 8 is arranged at the fixing block 3 corresponding to the two bidirectional screws 63.

[0022] In this embodiment, the driving assembly 8 includes a rotating rod 81 horizontally and longitudinally arranged inside the fixed block 3. An activity cavity 31 is formed in the fixed block 3 corresponding to the rotating rod 81. Both ends of the rotating rod 81 are rotatably inserted into both ends of the activity cavity 31. One end of each of the two bidirectional screws 63 facing the fixed block 3 extends through the fixed block 3 into the activity cavity 31. The bidirectional screws 63 are rotatably connected to the fixed block 3. One end of each of the two bidirectional screws 63 located inside the activity cavity 31 is respectively provided with a first bevel gear 64. The rotating rod 81 is respectively provided with a second bevel gear 82 meshing with the two first bevel gears 64. The two second bevel gears 82 are respectively located at the rear sides of the first bevel gears 64 meshing with them.

[0023] Meanwhile, a micro motor 83 is provided on the right side of the fixed block 3 corresponding to the activity cavity 31. The driving end of the micro motor 83 extends through the fixed block 3 into the activity cavity 31 and is rotatably connected to the fixed block 3. A third bevel gear 84 is provided on one side of the driving end of the micro motor 83 located inside the activity cavity 31. The rotating rod 81 is provided with a fourth bevel gear 85 meshing with the third bevel gear 84.

[0024] The micro motor 83 drives the third bevel gear 84 to rotate, thereby driving the meshing fourth bevel gear 85 to rotate, so that the rotating rod 81 performs a rotating motion. When the rotating rod 81 rotates, it drives the two second bevel gears 82 to rotate synchronously, and at the same time drives the two first bevel gears 64 meshing with them to rotate, so that the two bidirectional screws 63 rotate synchronously, making the two cutting knives 5 approach or move away from each other, thereby completing the cutting work on the roots of the kiwifruit (here, one process of the motor operation is to rotate forward until the two cutting knives perform the cutting work, and after cutting, the motor rotates in reverse to reset the two cutting knives. This motor operation mode is the prior art).

[0025] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and 2 , an activity block 91 is hinged at the handle 9 corresponding to the control button 7. A spring 92 is provided on one side of the activity block 91 corresponding to the control button 7. One end of the spring 92 is fixedly connected to the activity block 91, and the other end is fixedly connected to the handle 9. By holding the handle 9 to cover the picking port 2 on the kiwifruit to be picked, pressing the activity block 91 makes the activity block 91 rotate along the hinge to press the control button 7, and the activity block can be reset by the spring 92. The pressing is convenient and fast, and at the same time, it prevents accidental touch of the control button 7.

[0026] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "comprising an..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device comprising the said element.

[0027] In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, "a plurality of" means two or more; the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "front end", "rear end", "head", "tail", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the present utility model.
