Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of agricultural equipment, and particularly relates to a labor-saving mulberry picking device. Background Art

[0002] Mulberry is the fruit of the mulberry plant of the Moraceae family. It is rich in protein, various amino acids and active ingredients. It has many benefits such as improving immunity, improving water surface, delaying aging, lowering blood sugar and blood lipids, so it is deeply loved by people.

[0003] Mulberry trees have tall stems, but the mulberries are small, and their skin is soft, so they easily fall off when ripe. In the past, mulberries were mostly harvested manually, which was very time-consuming and labor-intensive. With the large-scale cultivation of mulberries, manual harvesting is no longer able to harvest the ripe fruits in time, resulting in the overripe mulberries falling and causing waste.

[0004] To address the issue of delayed mulberry picking, the applicant's prior patent application, CN218125563U, disclosed a mulberry fruit collection device that eliminates the need for picking. This device, which uses a funnel-shaped collection net positioned beneath the mulberry trees and a collection bucket to collect the mulberries, reduces labor costs and improves work efficiency. However, when such a collection device is used in a mulberry orchard, the orchard must be divided into multiple plots, with one less mulberry tree planted in the middle of each plot to free up space for the collection bucket. This results in the device occupying a significant amount of planting area in the orchard, and multiple collection units are required to fully cover the orchard. During harvesting, the mulberries must be collected manually along the direction of the collection bucket, leaving much room for improvement.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a labor-saving mulberry picking device that can facilitate mulberry harvesting. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve at least the above-mentioned drawbacks and to provide advantages which will be described later.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a labor-saving mulberry picking device that can improve management convenience.

[0008] In order to achieve these purposes and other advantages of the present invention, a labor-saving mulberry picking device is provided, which includes a plurality of arch frames, a plurality of connecting steel pipes, a sliding structure and a collecting frame.

[0009] The arch frame comprises two vertical rods, a horizontal rod and an arch portion, wherein the distance between the horizontal rod and the ground is 1 meter, and the horizontal rod connects the two vertical rods.

[0010] The connecting steel pipe is connected to both sides of the arch frame and connects two adjacent arch frames.

[0011] The sliding structure includes four fixed pulleys, two steel wires and a nylon net; the four fixed pulleys are respectively arranged on the vertical rods of the arch frame at both ends, and the height of the fixed pulleys is consistent with the height of the cross rod; the two steel wires are respectively connected to the fixed pulleys at both ends along the extension direction of the connecting steel pipe; the width of the nylon net is the length of the cross rod; the two long sides of the nylon net are respectively connected in series with the two steel wires.

[0012] A collecting frame is provided at the contracted end of the nylon mesh.

[0013] In the above scheme, first, the arched portion of the labor-saving mulberry picking device of the present invention can support the mulberry branches, allowing the mulberry tree trunk and branches to grow in a tree-like shape. This not only facilitates the collection of the mulberries later by taking advantage of their automatic shedding upon ripening and dropping onto a pre-laid nylon net, but also facilitates fertilization and management of the mulberries during the planting process. Specifically, the mulberry trees are planted with a row spacing of 2.5 meters, a plant spacing of 1.5 meters, and a mulberry trunk height of 1 meter. The arched frame is 2 meters high and 2.5 meters wide. The main mulberry stem is located between the two arched frames of the labor-saving mulberry picking device. The structure of the arched frame matches the extension direction of the mulberry branches, and the side branches of the mulberry fruit are squeezed and extended toward the arched portions of the arched frames on both sides, forming a "Y"-shaped growth structure.

[0014] Secondly, in actual production applications of the labor-saving mulberry picking device of the present invention, the arched frame of the labor-saving mulberry picking device is set between two rows of mulberry trees. When picking mulberries, the steel wire is controlled to pull the nylon net, thereby shrinking the nylon net, and then the mulberries collected on the nylon net are moved toward the collecting frame and finally fall into the collecting frame for collection. It is equivalent to one row of mulberry trees corresponding to one labor-saving mulberry picking device, that is, one collecting frame. Then, the collecting frames are collected one by one to complete the mulberry picking of the entire park, which not only saves labor but also improves the efficiency of mulberry picking.

[0015] Preferably, the nylon mesh has a pore size of 18 meshes.

[0016] Preferably, the height of the collecting frame is consistent with the height of the cross bar or is 5 to 10 centimeters lower than the height of the cross bar; and the length of the collecting frame is not less than the width of the arch frame.

[0017] In the above solution, the height and width of the collecting frame are restricted to avoid overflowing of mulberries during the collection process and causing losses.

[0018] Preferably, a slot is provided on the vertical rod, and both ends of the connecting steel pipe are respectively engaged with the slots on the two arch frames to connect the two adjacent arch frames.

[0019] In the above solution, by providing a slot on the tree trunk to match the connecting steel pipe, the disassembly and installation of the connecting steel pipe is facilitated, and the layout of the labor-saving mulberry picking device is facilitated according to the area of the planting site.

[0020] Preferably, the height of the vertical rod is 2 meters, and the width of the arched portion is 2.5 meters.

[0021] In the above solution, the height of the vertical rod and the width of the arched portion are further limited, thereby defining the structure of the arched frame, thereby adapting to the height of the mulberry tree and the extended length of the mulberry tree's side branches.

[0022] Preferably, it further comprises a hemp rope, wherein the hemp rope and the steel wire are connected in series on the two long sides of the nylon net.

[0023] In the above solution, the hemp rope and the steel wire are connected to the long side of the nylon net, thereby increasing the traction force on the nylon net and facilitating the contraction and expansion of the nylon net by pulling the nylon net together with the hemp rope and the steel wire.

[0024] Preferably, a plurality of magnetic strips are provided on the cross bar, and corresponding positions of the nylon net are provided with magnetic strips matching those on the cross bar.

[0025] In the above solution, magnetic strips are provided at corresponding positions of the crossbar and the nylon net, so that the nylon net can be laid flat on the crossbar when unfolded, thereby facilitating the subsequent harvesting of mulberries.

[0026] Advantages of this utility model:

[0027] Firstly, the labor-saving mulberry picking device of the present invention can support the mulberry branches through the arched part during the growth period of the mulberry tree, so that the side branches of the mulberry tree extend along the direction of the arched part, thereby making the trunk and branches of the mulberry tree grow in a tree shape. This not only facilitates the collection of the mulberry fruits in the later stage by taking advantage of the fact that the mulberry fruits automatically fall off when they mature and fall into the pre-laid nylon net, but also facilitates the fertilization management of the mulberry fruits during the planting process, reduces labor costs, and promotes the healthy development of the mulberry industry.

[0028] Secondly, when the labor-saving mulberry picking device of the present invention is used to pick mulberries, the steel wire is controlled to pull the nylon net, thereby shrinking the nylon net, and then the mulberries collected on the nylon net are moved toward the collecting frame and finally fall into the collecting frame for collection, which not only saves labor but also improves the efficiency of mulberry picking.

[0029] Furthermore, the labor-saving mulberry picking device of the present invention limits the height and width of the collecting frame to prevent the mulberries from overflowing and causing losses during the collection process.

[0030] In addition, the labor-saving mulberry picking device of the present invention is easy to disassemble and install by arranging a slot on the tree trunk to match the connecting steel pipe, which is convenient for arranging the labor-saving mulberry picking device according to the area of the planting site.

[0031] In addition, the labor-saving mulberry picking device of the present invention further limits the height of the vertical rod and the width of the arched portion, thereby limiting the structure of the arched frame, thereby adapting to the height of the mulberry tree and the extended length of the mulberry tree's side branches.

[0032] In addition, the labor-saving mulberry picking device of the present invention is connected to the long side of the nylon net through the cooperation of hemp rope and steel wire, thereby increasing the traction force on the nylon net and facilitating the contraction and expansion of the nylon net by pulling the nylon net with the hemp rope and steel wire.

[0033] In addition, the labor-saving mulberry picking device of the present invention provides magnetic strips at corresponding positions of the crossbar and the nylon net, so that when the nylon net is unfolded, it can be laid flat on the crossbar, which facilitates the subsequent harvesting of mulberries.

[0046] The connecting steel pipe 2 is connected to both sides of the arch frame 1 and connects two adjacent arch frames 1 .

[0047] The sliding structure 3 includes four fixed pulleys 31, two steel wires 32 and a nylon mesh 33; the four fixed pulleys 31 are respectively arranged on the vertical rods 11 of the arch frame at both ends, and the height of the fixed pulleys 31 is consistent with the height of the cross rod 12; the two steel wires 32 are respectively connected to the fixed pulleys 31 at both ends along the extension direction of the connecting steel pipe 2; the width of the nylon mesh 33 is the length of the cross rod 12; the two long sides of the nylon mesh 33 are respectively connected in series with the two steel wires 32.

[0048] The collecting frame 4 is arranged at the contracted end of the nylon mesh 33 .

[0049] This implementation scheme, first, during the growth period of the mulberry tree, the mulberry branches can be supported by the arched portion, so that the side branches of the mulberry tree extend along the direction of the arched portion, and the main trunk and branches of the mulberry tree grow in a tree shape. This not only facilitates the collection of the mulberries in the later stage by utilizing the characteristic that the mulberries automatically fall off when they mature and fall into the pre-laid nylon net, but also facilitates the fertilization management of the mulberries during the planting process.

[0050] When collecting mulberries, the steel wire is controlled to pull the nylon net, thereby shrinking the nylon net, and then the mulberries collected on the nylon net are moved toward the collection frame and finally dropped into the collection frame for collection, which not only saves labor but also improves the efficiency of mulberry picking.

[0055] The solution of this embodiment is to provide a slot on the tree trunk to match the connecting steel pipe, thereby facilitating the disassembly and installation of the connecting steel pipe and facilitating the layout of the labor-saving mulberry picking device according to the area of the planting site.

[0056] Furthermore, the height of the vertical rod 11 is 2 meters, and the width of the arched portion 13 is 2.5 meters.

[0057] The solution of this embodiment further limits the height of the vertical rod and the width of the arched portion, thereby defining the structure of the arched frame, thereby adapting to the height of the mulberry tree and the extended length of the mulberry tree's side branches.

[0058] Furthermore, the labor-saving mulberry picking device also includes a hemp rope, which is connected in series with the steel wire on the two long sides of the nylon net.

[0059] The solution of this embodiment is to connect the long side of the nylon net by the hemp rope and the steel wire together, thereby increasing the traction force on the nylon net and facilitating the contraction and expansion of the nylon net by pulling the nylon net together by the hemp rope and the steel wire.

[0060] Preferably, a plurality of magnetic strips are provided on the cross bar 12 , and corresponding positions of the nylon net 33 are provided with magnetic strips matching those on the cross bar 12 .
