Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of camphor tree leaf plucking, in particular to an auxiliary device for artificially separating camphor tree branches and leaves. Background Art
[0002] Camphor trees are multi-chemotypes, and camphor essential oil is often used to extract natural secondary metabolites. However, the oil yields of different parts of the tree vary greatly. Leaves contain a high concentration of essential oil components and have a high oil yield, while branches have a low oil yield and contain less of the main components to be extracted. In actual camphor essential oil extraction, the leaves are first separated from the branches, and then the leaves are subjected to subsequent extraction. Currently, to avoid excessive branches from being mixed into the leaves and affecting the quality of the subsequent camphor oil, the separation of branches and leaves is mostly done manually. However, the process of separating branches and leaves can easily cause accidental injuries to workers' hands. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an auxiliary device for manually separating camphor leaves. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an auxiliary device for manually separating camphor tree branches and leaves, which can effectively avoid the risk of accidental hand injuries during the process of manually separating camphor tree leaves.
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following solutions:
[0005] An auxiliary device for manually separating camphor tree branches and leaves comprises an auxiliary device body, wherein the auxiliary device body comprises a first clamping part and a second clamping part hinged to each other, a clamping cavity for clamping the camphor tree trunk is formed between the first clamping part and the second clamping part, the first clamping part is located above the second clamping part, and the surfaces of the first clamping part and the second clamping part are provided with locking parts for locking the worker's hands, the worker's hands drive the first clamping part and the second clamping part to open and close, and after the first clamping part and the second clamping part are closed, the branch is clamped in the clamping cavity, and the worker's hands drive the auxiliary device body to move along the length direction of the branch and separate the camphor tree leaves from the branch.
[0006] In this solution, the first clamping part and the second clamping part are connected by a hinged manner, so that the two can be flexibly opened and closed to adapt to camphor tree branches of different diameters. The space between the two forms a clamping cavity for clamping the branches. The locking part enables the worker's hand to hold the auxiliary device stably to prevent operational errors caused by hand sliding during operation.

During the sliding process of the auxiliary device body, its end breaks the connection between the camphor tree leaf and the branch to achieve branch separation. This type of auxiliary device body prevents the worker's hand from directly contacting the camphor tree branch, thereby reducing the risk of accidental scratches.

[0025] Example
[0026] An auxiliary device for manually separating camphor tree branches and leaves comprises an auxiliary device body, wherein the auxiliary device body comprises a first clamping part 1 and a second clamping part 2 hinged to each other, a clamping cavity 5 for clamping the camphor tree trunk is formed between the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part, the first clamping part 1 is located above the second clamping part 2, and the surfaces of the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 are provided with locking parts for locking the worker's hands, the worker's hands drive the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 to open and close, and after the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 are closed, the branch is clamped in the clamping cavity 5, and the worker's hands drive the auxiliary device body to move along the length direction of the branch and separate the camphor tree leaves from the branch.
[0027] In this embodiment, Figure 1As shown, the ends of the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 are hinged by means of a pin shaft, so that the two can be flexibly opened and closed under the drive of the hand to adapt to the oil camphor branches of different diameters. The space between the two forms a clamping cavity 5 for clamping the branches. The locking part enables the worker's hand to hold the auxiliary device stably to prevent operational errors caused by hand sliding during operation. The entire auxiliary device body is made of lightweight materials, such as aluminum alloy or high-strength plastic, which can reduce the weight of the auxiliary device body and facilitate workers to operate for a long time. When in use, the worker drives the first clamping part by hand The clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 are opened and closed, and the branch from which the camphor leaves need to be separated is placed in the clamping cavity 5 between the two clamping parts. After closing, the branch in the clamping cavity 5 is clamped, and then the worker's hand drives the auxiliary device body to move along the length direction of the branch. The camphor leaves are protruding outward and distributed around the branch. During the sliding process of the auxiliary device body, its end can break the connection between the camphor leaves and the branches to achieve the separation of the branches. This type of auxiliary device body allows the worker's hands to not directly contact the camphor branches, and a sliding shovel is used to achieve the separation of branches and leaves, thereby reducing the risk of accidental scratches on the hands.
[0028] Furthermore, the clamping cavities 5 are distributed in plurality along the length direction of the first clamping portion 1 or the second clamping portion 2 , and the sizes of the plurality of clamping cavities 5 gradually increase or decrease along the length direction of the first clamping portion 1 .
[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, with the length direction of the branch as a reference, when the auxiliary device body is placed horizontally, the length direction of the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 is perpendicular to the axis of the branch, and the width direction of the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 is parallel to the axis of the branch. Since different camphor tree branches may have different diameters and thicknesses, by setting a plurality of clamping cavities 5 with gradually changing sizes, the auxiliary device can adapt to more types of branches without the need to frequently change tools or adjust settings. Workers do not need to frequently adjust the clamping force or position during operation, because the clamping cavities 5 of different sizes are already prepared for branches of different thicknesses, which reduces operation time and improves work efficiency. Since there is no need to frequently adjust the clamping part, the worker's hand fatigue will be reduced.
[0030] Furthermore, the clamping cavity 5 is composed of two semicircular grooves 6 , which are respectively distributed on the opposite surfaces of the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 , and the semicircular grooves 6 pass through the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 in the width direction.
[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, when the first clamping part 1 and the second clamping part 2 are closed, the two semicircular grooves 6 are combined into a complete circular cavity, which can clamp the camphor tree branch. The worker only needs to align the clamping part of the auxiliary device with the camphor tree branch and then close it to achieve clamping, which simplifies the operation steps and improves work efficiency.
[0032] Furthermore, the ends of the first clamping portion 1 and the second clamping portion 2 that contact the hand are arc-shaped surfaces.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the end face in contact with the hand refers to the end face in contact with the palm of the hand, that is, one end where the two clamping parts are hinged. The curved surface design can better fit the contour of the worker's hand, reduce the friction and pressure between the hand and the clamping part, thereby improving the comfort during operation. The curved surface design can disperse the pressure on the hand, making the pressure distribution more even, thereby reducing hand fatigue caused by long-term operation. The curved surface design can provide a better grip feel, conforms to ergonomic principles, and can naturally adapt to the shape and movement trajectory of the hand, making the operation smoother and more efficient.
[0034] Furthermore, the locking part includes a first locking part 3 and a second locking part 4. The first locking part 3 is arranged on the top surface of the first clamping part 1 and is used to lock the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger. The second locking part 4 is arranged on the bottom surface of the second clamping part 2 and is used to lock the thumb.
[0035] Specifically, by locking the four fingers and the thumb respectively, the first locking part 3 and the second locking part 4 can jointly ensure that the worker maintains a stable gripping posture during the operation. Since the thumb is generally shorter, the second locking part 4 needs to be closer to the right end of the auxiliary device body. The design of the locking part can disperse the pressure on the hand, making the pressure distribution more even, and can reduce the fatigue and discomfort that may occur in the thumb during long-term operation. The stable gripping posture allows workers to focus more on the operation process, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0036] Furthermore, the first locking portion 3 is a first locking ring 301 that allows the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger to pass through, and the second locking portion 4 is a second locking ring 401 that allows the thumb to pass through.
[0037] Furthermore, the first locking ring 301 is an independent ring or four independent rings, and the second locking ring 401 is an independent ring.
[0038] Furthermore, the first locking ring 301 and the second locking ring 401 are both rubber rings.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first locking ring 301 can be an independent ring, such as Figure 3As shown, there can also be four independent rings, which can be flexibly adjusted according to the worker's hand shape and gripping habits. If four independent rings are selected, each finger can be individually locked, thereby providing higher stability and comfort. If an independent ring is selected, the wearing process can be simplified while still providing sufficient locking force. The second locking ring 401 is an independent ring specifically used to lock the thumb, which can ensure that the thumb remains stable during operation and reduce operational errors caused by thumb sliding. Selecting rubber as the material for the locking ring can provide soft and wear-resistant properties. The rubber ring has a certain elasticity and can adapt to the gripping requirements of different hand shapes, thereby improving hand comfort. The rubber material also has good anti-slip properties, which helps to increase gripping force and prevent hand sliding.
[0040] Furthermore, a first groove 7 is provided on the top surface of the first clamping part 1 below the first locking ring 301, and the first groove 7 is used to place the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger. A second groove 8 is provided on the bottom surface of the second clamping part 2 above and below the second locking ring 401, and the second groove 8 is used to place the thumb. A sponge layer 9 is provided on the inner walls of the first groove 7 and the second groove 8.
[0041] Specifically, the first groove 7 and the second groove 8 provide clear positioning points for the five fingers, making it easier for workers to find the correct gripping position during operation. The groove design also provides additional support, helping to reduce the fatigue that may occur in the fingers during long-term operation. Figure 2 As shown, the first groove 7 can be a groove that accommodates four fingers at the same time and corresponds to the first locking ring 301 being a ring, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, there may also be four grooves that accommodate four fingers respectively and correspond to the first locking ring 301 being four independent rings. The sponge layer 9 is soft, sweat-absorbent, and breathable, which can increase the comfort between the fingers and the grooves. The sponge layer 9 can also reduce direct contact between the fingers and hard materials, thereby reducing the pressure and discomfort on the hands. The combination of the locking ring and the grooves ensures that the fingers remain stable during operation, reducing operational errors caused by hand slippage or unstable grip. The locking ring provides a certain tightening force, while the grooves provide additional support and positioning. The two work together to improve the stability and comfort of the grip.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Based on the technical essence of the present invention and within the spirit and principles of the present invention, any simple modification, equivalent replacement and improvement of the above embodiment shall still fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
