Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of fruit sorting equipment, and particularly relates to a mandarin orange picking device. Background Art
[0002] The Wogan is a late-maturing hybrid citrus variety, ripening and ready for harvest in January and February, and still available for harvest into May, boasting a long fruit-bearing and harvesting period. The Wogan boasts tender, smooth flesh, a thin skin, high juiciness, a low-acidity, and refreshing taste. It is highly nutritious and contains a wealth of vitamins, making it a favorite among consumers.
[0003] Wuming, Nanning, is the main growing area for Wogan oranges. Currently, harvesting is mainly done manually, using scissors to cut the fruit. However, due to the 2-3 meter height of the Wogan trees, the fruit growing at the top of the trees is difficult to pick manually.
[0004] Chinese patent document CN218998903U discloses a convenient and angle-adjustable mandarin orange picking device. The mandarin orange picking device is pushed and moved on the ground by a mobile base. An electric lifting bracket is fixedly installed at the middle position of the upper end of the mobile base, and an adjustment bracket is fixedly installed at the upper telescopic end of the electric lifting bracket. The device comprises: a fixed frame, which is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the adjustment bracket; a drive disk, which is installed on the front and rear sides of the adjustment bracket, and a drive shaft is fixed on the inner side of the drive disk; a control bending rod, which is symmetrically installed at the left and right ends of the front side of the drive disk; and a side plate, which is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the drive disk. The convenient and angle-adjustable mandarin orange picking device adopts a new structural design, which allows the device to rotate and adjust the cutting and picking structure according to the corresponding angle of the mandarin orange. The device is also provided with a mandarin orange collection guide structure, which can maintain the quality of the collected mandarin oranges and improve the application effect of the device.
[0005] However, the technical solution of this patent is that the picked fruits fall into the net bag, and the net bag is at the top of the device. After a period of harvesting, the stacked fruits can easily cause the device to become "top-heavy" and fall over, affecting its normal use. Utility Model Content
[0006] The utility model provides a mandarin orange picking device to solve the above technical problems.
[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] 1. The new fruit receiving bag is set from top to bottom, rather than just in the fruit receiving area, to avoid the device from becoming "top-heavy" and tipping over due to the increase in the number of collected oranges after picking for a period of time, thereby ensuring the normal use of the device during the picking process.
[0024] 2. The fruit receiving bag is equipped with a front fruit receiving channel or a rear fruit receiving channel to facilitate the falling of the mandarin oranges cut by the cutter. Moreover, the S-shaped structure can play a certain buffering role, avoid the impact between fruits, and keep the fruit shape intact. Since the fruit receiving bag has a certain length, it can store a certain amount of mandarin oranges, and the bag opening piece is provided to facilitate the operator to open the bag in time to take out the fruits inside to avoid excessive accumulation.
[0025] The invention is suitable for picking mandarin oranges that grow at high places and are difficult to pick manually. By setting the docking fruit bags, the center of gravity of the falling mandarin oranges can be placed below the device during the collection process, which not only makes it easy to take out the collected fruits, but also ensures the stability of the center of gravity of the entire device to avoid tipping over.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] In order to facilitate a better understanding of the present invention, the following examples are used to illustrate the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. These examples belong to the protection scope of the present invention, but do not limit the protection scope of the present invention.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] A citrus picking device, such as Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, it includes: a lifting device 1, which is provided with a lifting rod 11, and a base 12 is provided at the bottom of the lifting device 1, and also includes: a rotating seat 2, which is rotatably arranged on the top of the lifting rod 11; when the rotating seat 2 is subjected to external force, it can rotate horizontally relative to the lifting rod 11; a fruit picking member 3, which is a scissor structure and is hingedly provided on the side of the rotating seat 2; the top of the fruit picking member 3 can be enclosed into a fruit receiving area 31, and a cutter 32 is provided at the top end; when the fruit picking member 3 is subjected to external force, the fruit receiving area 31 can be opened or closed, and the cutter 32 provided on the top of the fruit picking member 3 can be connected or separated; a fruit receiving bag 4 is arranged from top to bottom, with the top open end provided on the fruit picking member 3 on the side of the fruit receiving area 31, and the bottom provided on the outer side of the lifting rod 11.
[0035] The lifting device is used to control the height of the lifting rod. It can be an existing device such as a cylinder, an electric push rod, etc., as long as it can achieve the lifting effect. There is no limitation on the model.
[0036] In order to facilitate movement, two groups of parallel rollers can be provided on both sides of the base 12. The rollers can be universal wheels with a brake structure, so that they can be pushed forward when moving, or pushed forward on field roads, which is convenient for use; a push handle 13 is provided on one side of the base 12, and when it is convenient to use, the picking device can be pushed to the area to be picked with the help of the push handle; the lifting device can be provided on one end of the base away from the push handle, and a collection frame 14 (or bag) for collecting the picked oranges can be placed on the base between the push handle and the lifting device, so as to facilitate the collection of the oranges taken out of the fruit bag.
[0037] The fruit picking piece is similar to a scissors structure, but the upper part at the hinge point (hinged to the rotating seat) is an openable and closable arc-shaped structure (i.e., the fruit receiving area). By grasping the handles at the bottom end of the fruit picking piece and applying force against each other, the arc-shaped structure can be closed, and the cutters move toward each other to shorten the branches, so as to perform the fruit picking operation. A torsion spring can be connected to the fruit picking piece below the hinge point. When picking fruits, the bottom end of the fruit picking piece is subjected to force towards each other, which will squeeze the torsion spring. After picking fruits, the bottom end of the fruit picking piece can be reset to its initial state (i.e., the cutters are separated) without being subject to external force.
[0038] When picking mandarin oranges in an on-site orchard, the growth conditions of the fruit tree branches and the positions of the fruits are different. Therefore, when picking, it may be necessary to adjust the direction of the cutter to facilitate cutting the fruits. Therefore, the rotating seat is rotatably arranged on the top of the lifting rod. When it is necessary to rotate and adjust the position of the cutter, the hand grip at the bottom end of the fruit picking piece can be grasped and pulled forward and pushed backward. The rotating seat will rotate accordingly under the force, thereby adjusting the position of the cutter accordingly. After adjusting the position, the hand grip at the lower end of the fruit picking piece can be grasped with both hands and pressed back and forth to make the top cutters approach each other to cut the fruits and drop them into the fruit receiving bag.
[0039] The fruit receiving bags are arranged from top to bottom, from the fruit receiving area downwards rather than just within the fruit receiving area, which can avoid an increase in the number of mandarin oranges collected in the fruit receiving bags, which may cause the device to topple over due to the "top-heavy" problem.
[0040] Instructions for use: Move the picking device to the position where the fruit needs to be picked, start the lifting device to raise the lifting rod to the appropriate position; then the operator holds the handle at the bottom of the fruit picking piece with both hands, and uses a little force to make the fruit picking piece push the rotating seat to rotate to the appropriate position. At this time, the branches of the mandarin oranges to be picked are between the two cutters; use both hands to move the fruit picking pieces away from each other, so that the two cutters move toward each other and cut off the branches of the fruit, and the fruit falls into the fruit receiving bag; then control the lifting device to make the lifting rod drop, and then move the device to other areas to be picked; the fruit in the fruit receiving bag can be taken out after a certain amount of fruit is collected.
[0041] Example 2
[0042] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the fruit receiving bag 4 further includes: a fruit receiving channel 42, which is provided on a side of the rotating base 2 away from the fruit picking member 3; the top and bottom of the fruit receiving channel 42 are respectively connected to the open end 41 and the bottom end of the fruit receiving bag 4.
[0043] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the fruit receiving channel 42 is arranged in an S shape, and its height is greater than the height of the rotating base 2.
[0044] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the fruit receiving bag 4 is at a height equal to or lower than 1 / 2 of the height of the picking device 01 .
[0045] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the fruit receiving bag 4 further includes: a bag opening member 43, which is provided on the side surface of the bottom of the fruit receiving bag 4, and the two are provided at an angle; when the bag opening member 43 is used, the corresponding position of the fruit receiving bag 4 can be opened or closed.
[0046] Since a rotating seat is provided at the top of the lifting rod, the top-down arrangement of the fruit receiving bag will be affected, and it is also necessary to avoid the fruit receiving bag affecting the normal use of the fruit picking piece. Therefore, a fruit receiving channel is provided; the two ends of the fruit receiving channel are respectively connected to the open end and the bottom end of the fruit receiving bag, so that the fruit cut by the cutter can fall down into the fruit receiving channel through the open end, and then fall down into the bottom of the fruit receiving bag through the fruit receiving channel, thereby realizing the collection of the picked fruits.
[0047] Since the fruit receiving bag has a certain height, if the fruits cut by the cutter fall directly into the bottom of the fruit receiving bag, they may be subjected to a large impact, which may cause the fruits to collide with each other and be damaged, affecting the quality of the mandarin oranges; therefore, the fruit receiving channel is set to be S-shaped. With the help of the S-shaped structure, the falling fruits are cushioned, the falling speed and force are reduced, and the fruit is avoided from being damaged; the fruit receiving channel can be set downward around the lifting rod after passing through the rotating seat, and can be movably fixed on the lifting rod in part of its position to play a stabilizing role.
[0048] The bottom of the fruit receiving bag is at 1 / 2 the height of the picking device, so that during the operation, after collecting more fruits, the center of gravity of the entire device is in the lower half, avoiding the possibility of the device tipping over due to the center of gravity being too high.
[0049] Since the fruit receiving bag has a certain height and can store a certain amount of fruits, a bag opening piece is provided on the side of the fruit receiving bag so that after a certain amount of fruits are collected, the operator can open the bag through the bag opening piece to take out the collected fruits to avoid accumulation; the bag opening piece is arranged in a horizontal direction, perpendicular to the length direction of the fruit receiving bag, and at a certain distance from the bottom of the bag; the bag opening piece can be a zipper.
[0050] In order to stabilize the fruit receiving bag during the falling process of the fruit, Velcro or buttons can be set on both sides of the same side of the fruit receiving bag so that it can be movably set around the lifting rod, playing a certain stabilizing role without affecting the normal operation of the lifting rod.
[0051] Example 3
[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the picking device 01 further includes: a soft block 21, which is provided on the top of the rotating seat 2 and has an arc-shaped structure on the outside; one side of the fruit receiving channel 42 is provided downwardly along the arc-shaped structure of the soft block 21.
[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, the picking device 01 also includes: a guide block 22, which is arranged on the side of the rotating seat 2 away from the fruit picking member 3 and is connected to the arc structure of the soft block 21; one side of the fruit receiving channel 42 is arranged downwardly along the arc structure of the guide block 22.
[0054] like Figure 1-Figure 2 、 Figure 4 As shown, except for the top area of the fruit receiving bag 4 which is connected to the fruit picking piece 3 , the rest of the fruit receiving bag 4 is not connected to the fruit picking piece 3 .
[0055] After the cutter cuts the branch, the fruit falls. Since the rotating seat has a certain hardness, the fruit may be injured. Therefore, a soft block is set on the top of the rotating seat; the soft block is made of soft material, such as soft silicone, rubber, etc., and has a certain elasticity, which can cushion the falling fruit, and then make the fruit fall from the fruit receiving channel to the bottom of the bag; the soft block is in a low position on one side close to the fruit receiving channel, and in a high position on the other side, so that the falling fruit can roll from high to low.
[0056] The guide block and the soft block are connected and both have an arc-shaped structure, which can guide the falling fruits into the fruit receiving channel and also play a supporting role for the fruit receiving channel.
[0057] The open end of the top of the fruit receiving bag may be provided with a support rod 44 to ensure that the open end is open during use, so that the picked oranges can fall into the fruit receiving bag.
[0058] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only 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 "include," "comprise," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, the phrase "includes an element defined by ... does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element."
