Tea requires a demanding growing environment and is mostly found in warm, humid, and misty mountainous or hilly areas. Picking is a crucial part of the tea production process, directly related to the quality and taste of the tea. Traditionally, tea picking is a delicate manual labor that requires pickers to have extensive experience and a keen sense of smell to identify the maturity of the tea leaves and pick them accurately, leaving the buds and leaves intact and avoiding damage to the tea trees. However, with the continuous development of the tea industry, the demand for tea picking efficiency is increasing. Traditional manual picking methods can no longer meet the needs of large-scale production. Therefore, the research and development of mechanized picking technology is particularly important.

[0003] To address the inefficiency of manual tea picking, small tea-picking machines have emerged. These machines use a motor-driven blade assembly to rapidly sweep across the rows of tea trees, slicing the leaves with its sharp blades.

[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely illustrative and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] It should be noted that like reference numerals denote like items in the following drawings, and thus, once an item is defined in one drawing, it may not be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0024] This embodiment mainly describes the structure of the picking machine, which is as follows:

[0025] A tea picking machine, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, it includes a cutting machine integration 1, a backpack integration 101, a mounting plate 2, a connecting frame 3, a telescopic rod 4, a universal ball head 5, a support plate 6, a movable plate 7 and a preset component. The backpack integration 101 includes a mobile power supply. When working, the backpack integration 101 is carried on the back. The bottom of the backpack integration 101 is connected to the mounting plate 2, the mounting plate 2 is connected to the connecting frame 3, the other end of the connecting frame 3 is connected to the telescopic rod 4, the top of the telescopic rod 4 is connected to the universal ball head 5, the support plate 6 is sleeved on the universal ball head 5, and the movable plate 7 is slidably connected to the support plate 6. The outer end of the movable plate 7 is connected to the cutting machine integration 1. The cutting machine integration 1 includes a tea collection box, a reciprocating motor and a cutting blade, etc. When working, the cutting machine integration 1 is held in the hand, and there is an electric wire connection between the backpack integration 101 and the cutting machine integration 1. A switch is provided on the cutting machine integration 1 for starting and stopping the reciprocating motor. A preset component for limiting the movable plate 7 is provided in the support plate 6.

[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the preset component includes triangular teeth 8, a return spring 9 and a block 10. The inner end of the movable plate 7 is slidably connected to the block 10. A return spring 9 is provided in the movable plate 7. One end of the return spring 9 is connected to the block 10, and the other end is connected to the movable plate 7. Two rows of triangular teeth 8 are provided on the inner side of the support plate 6, and the block 10 is slidably connected to the triangular teeth 8.

[0027] When picking tea leaves, the staff puts the backpack integration 101 on their backs, holds the cutting machine integration 1, extends the connecting frame 3 to a sufficient distance, and supports the cutting machine integration 1. Then, the cutting machine integration 1 is turned on, the backpack integration 101 is powered for it, and the blade group is driven by the motor to complete the cutting action of the tea leaves with the sharp blades. The cutting machine integration 1 is moved back and forth and rotated to make the cutting machine integration 1 move evenly on the tea bush. When the cutting machine integration 1 moves back and forth, the moving plate 7 slides in the supporting plate 6. When the cutting machine integration 1 rotates, the supporting plate 6 rotates on the universal ball head 5, and the supporting plate 6 connected to the universal ball head 5 can move up and down. The tilt ensures the range of movement of the cutting machine integration 1, which is sufficient to complete the tea picking work. During the long working process, the staff gradually form their own picking habits. The height of the support plate 6 is adjusted by the telescopic rod 4, thereby adjusting the height of the cutting machine integration 1, reducing the situation of moving the cutting machine integration 1 back and forth. When adjusting the movable plate 7 back and forth, the block 10 cooperates with the groove of the triangular tooth 8 to limit the sliding of the movable plate 7. The tea picking work can be completed by rotating the support plate 6. During the long working process, the connecting frame 3 can support the cutting machine integration 1 and transfer part of the weight to the back, reducing arm fatigue and facilitating long-term work.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a hand rest 17 is also included. The rear end of the cutting machine integration 1 is provided with a hand rest 17.

[0029] When the wrist rotates the cutting machine assembly 1, the forearm is supported by the hand support 17, further reducing the labor intensity of the arm.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a bolt rod 13, a movable cavity 11 is opened in the mounting plate 2, the connecting frame 3 is slidably connected in the mounting plate 2, and a positioning hole 12 is opened on the mounting plate 2, and a corresponding matching hole is opened on the connecting frame 3, and the bolt rod 13 is slidably connected to the empty hole and the connecting frame 3.

[0031] After putting on the backpack integration 101, before adjusting the height of the telescopic rod 4, pull out the bolt rod 13 so that the connecting frame 3 can slide in the movable cavity 11 to adjust the height of the connecting frame 3. After adjustment, insert the bolt rod 13, and the bolt rod 13 passes through the positioning hole 12 and is inserted into the connecting frame 3, so as to adjust the height of the connecting frame 3 according to the height of the elbow. In the subsequent working process, the telescopic rod 4 can optimize the adjustment range of the telescopic rod 4 when fine-tuning the height of the cutting machine integration 1.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a hanging rope 14, one end of the hanging rope 14 is connected to the mounting plate 2, and the other end is connected to the bolt rod 13.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, an identification card 15 is also included. The identification card 15 is connected to the connecting frame 3, and the identification card 15 is horizontally aligned with the matching hole of the connecting frame 3.

[0034] The hanging rope 14 makes it convenient for the staff to take the bolt rod 13 at any time, and the identification card 15 is aligned with the matching hole of the connecting frame 3, so the position of the identification card 15 and the positioning hole 12 can be used to directly determine whether the positioning hole 12 and the matching hole are aligned, thereby facilitating the insertion of the bolt rod 13.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, a handle 16 is also included. The connecting frame 3 is connected to the handle 16, and the connecting frame 3 is easily pulled by the handle 16.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, a soft bag 18 is also included, and the soft bag 18 is connected to the palm rest 17.

[0037] The soft bag 18 on the palm rest 17 can optimize the support provided by the palm rest 17 to the arm.

[0038] After the operator puts on the backpack integration 101, it not only supplies power to the cutting machine integration 1, but is also connected to the connecting frame 3 through the mounting plate 2. The identification card 15 on the connecting frame 3 is aligned with the positioning hole 12, thereby helping the staff to determine whether the positioning hole 12 and the matching hole on the connecting frame 3 are aligned, so as to accurately insert the bolt rod 13. The other end of the connecting frame 3 is connected to the telescopic rod 4, and the top of the telescopic rod 4 is equipped with a universal ball head 5, and the support plate 6 is sleeved thereon, so that the support plate 6 can rotate horizontally and tilt up and down, greatly increasing the range of motion of the cutting machine integration 1. The movable plate 7 slides on the support plate 6, and the card block 10 cooperates with the triangular teeth 8 on the inner side of the support plate 6 to fix the position of the movable plate 7 when needed, so that the picking work can be completed by simply rotating the support plate 6. The cutting machine integration 1 is not only held in the hand for operation, but also has a hand rest 17 at the rear end. The soft bag 18 on the hand rest 17 improves comfort and reduces arm fatigue. During the picking process, the operator can adjust the height of the cutting machine integration 1 through the telescopic rod 4 according to personal habits, and flexibly move the cutting machine integration 1 on the tea tree through the mobility of the movable plate 7 and the support plate 6 to complete the picking of tea leaves.
