[0030] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings to describe the embodiments of the present invention in detail so that the purpose, features and advantages of the present invention can be more clearly understood. It should be understood that the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, but are only intended to illustrate the essential spirit of the technical solution of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 2 The utility model provides a grape flower combing device, comprising a handle 1 and a roller 2, wherein one end of a pair of handles 1 is hinged, and the other ends of the pair of handles 1 are arranged opposite to each other and each of the rollers 2 is provided thereon, and the outer circumference of the roller 2 is uniformly distributed with flower combing teeth, and the pair of rollers 2 rotate relative to each other for combing the flowers.

[0032] Specifically, the ends of a pair of handles 1 are hinged to form a V-shaped structure. Rollers 2 are positioned at opposite ends of the V-shaped structure, with the pair of rollers 2 spaced apart and arranged opposite each other. The front end of each handle 1 forms a U-shaped structure, with the rollers 2 slidingly nested within the open ends of the U-shaped structure. When the pair of rollers 2 rotate inward or outward relative to each other, they clamp the grape vines. The rotation of the rollers 2 removes excess inflorescences or buds from the vines, effectively combing the flowers. The open end of the handle 1 can be opened and closed to control the gap between the pair of rollers 2, allowing the grape vines to enter and exit.

[0033] Furthermore, to facilitate the control of the relative engagement of the pair of rollers 2, a torsion spring 3 is embedded in the hinged ends of the pair of handles 1. The torsion spring 3 is mounted on the intersecting axis to provide a reaction force for the engagement of the pair of handles 1, making it easier to hold the handles 1 so that the handles 1 are relatively engaged to control the engagement spacing.

[0034] Furthermore, to limit the gap between the rollers 2 and prevent them from interfering with the combing process, a limiting assembly is provided on the opposing end surfaces of the pair of handles 1 to limit the interlocking distance between the rollers 2. By supporting the relative interlocking of the pair of handles 1, the limiting assembly ensures that a certain gap exists between the rollers 2 at the open ends, facilitating combing.

[0035] Furthermore, in order to adjust the opening and closing degree of the pair of handles 1, a telescopic adjustment component is provided between the pair of handles 1. The telescopic adjustment component can be provided on one side of the limit component.

[0036] like Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown. Furthermore, comb teeth 201 are provided on the outer periphery of roller 2, which is a blind-tube structure. A motor is located within the end of handle 1, with roller 2 sleeved around the outer periphery of the motor, and the motor's output end is connected to one end of roller 2. The motor is a motor with a planetary gear reducer, which is integrated with the motor at its end. Alternatively, the planetary gear reducer can be located within the handle and connected to the motor.

[0037] Furthermore, the comb teeth 201 are conical, and the conical elements are arranged in several rows. Each row of conical elements is arranged in an axial array along the outer periphery of the roller 2, and several rows are arranged along the radial outer periphery of the roller 2. When the pair of rollers 2 rotate relative to each other, the ends of the conical elements in each row are spaced apart and facing each other at the closest position of the pair of rollers 2.

[0038] like Figure 5 As a preferred embodiment, the comb teeth 201 are strip-shaped teeth, which are arranged along the axial direction of the roller 2 and arranged in a radial circumferential array along the roller 2 .

[0039] like Figure 6Furthermore, the strip-shaped teeth can be divided into two groups, each group being radially distributed along the outer periphery of the roller 2, one group of teeth being arranged on the outer periphery of the front half of the roller 2, and the other group being arranged on the outer periphery of the rear half of the roller 2, and the teeth of each group being arranged in a relatively staggered array.

[0040] Furthermore, each end of the handle 1 is provided with a C-shaped shield 105, with the open ends of a pair of C-shaped shields 105 facing each other. A motor barrel 104 is concentrically disposed within the C-shaped shields 105, with one end of the motor barrel 104 open and the other end integrally connected to one end of the C-shaped shield 105. The motor is nested within the motor barrel 104, and the roller 2 is loosely sleeved within the gap between the outer periphery of the motor barrel 104 and the inner periphery of the C-shaped shield 105. One end of the roller 2 is slidably connected to one end of the C-shaped shield 105.

[0041] like Figure 7-Figure 9 Specifically, each handle 1 is composed of a first half handle and a second half handle that are fastened together. A C-shaped shield 105 is provided at the end of the first half handle and one end is connected to the first half handle. One end of the roller 2 is slidably connected to the first half handle. A motor cylinder 104 is provided at the end of the second half handle and an open end is connected to the second half handle. When the first half handle and the second half handle are fastened relative to each other, the motor cylinder 104 and the C-shaped shield 105 are concentric.

[0042] Furthermore, a circuit board is provided in the handle 1 , a control switch is embedded in the outer periphery of the handle 1 , and the circuit board, the control switch and the motor are electrically connected.

[0043] Specifically, the first and second handle halves, when fastened together, define a cavity within which a circuit board is disposed. The control switch is embedded between the outer engaging surfaces of the first and second handle halves and located within the grip portion of handle 1, allowing for easy manual operation of the control switch. The control switch controls the motor's speed and direction of rotation, thereby controlling the speed and direction of rotation of roller 2.

[0044] Furthermore, the limiting assembly includes a limiting column 101 and a limiting slot 102 . The limiting column 101 is provided on one handle 1 , and the limiting slot 102 is provided on the other handle 1 . The end of the limiting column 101 is relatively abutted in the limiting slot 102 .

[0045] Specifically, a first limiting post is provided in the middle of the first half handle, a first limiting groove is provided in the first half handle on one side of the first limiting post, a second limiting post is provided in the middle of the second half handle, and a second limiting groove is provided in the second half handle on one side of the second limiting post, with the first limiting post and the second limiting post being spaced relative to each other. When the two handles 1 are relatively buckled together, the first limiting post on one handle 1 can abut against the second limiting groove on the other handle 1, and the second limiting post on the other handle 1 can abut against the first limiting groove on one handle 1, thereby achieving relative abutment and limiting.

[0046] like Figure 10 、 Figure 11 Furthermore, the telescopic adjustment assembly includes a nut 106 and a screw 107. A groove is provided in one handle 1, and the nut 106 is embedded in the groove. The screw 107 passes through one handle 1 and then slides into the nut 106 through the thread. The other end of the screw 107 extends out of the nut 106 to support the inner circumference of the other handle 1. The opening and closing of the pair of handles can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the screw 107 extending out of the nut 106.

[0047] Specifically, the groove can be arranged on the first half handle or the second half handle on the inner side of the limiting column, and the groove is arranged radially of the first half handle or the second half handle.

[0048] Of course, grooves can also be set on both the first half handle and the second half handle. After the first half handle and the second half handle are buckled together, the grooves can be connected to each other, and a nut can be set in each groove. At this time, two sets of telescopic adjustment components can be set for simultaneous adjustment.

[0049] As a preferred embodiment, the telescopic adjustment component includes a threaded sleeve and an inner top screw. A threaded sleeve is embedded in a handle 1, and the threaded sleeve passes through the inner and outer peripheries of the handle. The inner thread of the threaded sleeve is connected to the inner top screw. By adjusting the inner top screw in the threaded sleeve on the outer periphery of one handle, the other end of the inner top screw extends out of the threaded sleeve to support the inner periphery of the other handle. The opening and closing degree of a pair of handles can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the inner top screw extending out of the threaded sleeve.

[0050] Furthermore, the handle 1 has a gripping section, and the outer peripheral surface of the gripping section away from the hinge end is provided with a gripping groove 103. In order to facilitate human hand gripping, the gripping groove 103 is an arc-shaped groove, which is located on the outer periphery of the handle 1 on the side opposite to the limit assembly.

[0051] When the utility model is used, the grape vines are clamped between a pair of rollers 2 by controlling the opening and closing degree of the handle 1 by hand, and then the pair of handles 1 are pinched and buckled relative to each other, and the pair of rollers 2 are rotated relative to each other to comb off the inflorescences or buds of the grape vines.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it.
