Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ecological vegetable harvesting technology, and specifically relates to an ecological vegetable harvesting device. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards improve, consumers are increasingly focused on food safety and quality. Traditional agricultural production may suffer from pesticide residues and excessive fertilizer use, prompting people to seek healthier, pollution-free vegetables. Organic vegetables, grown according to ecological principles and minimizing chemical inputs, better meet consumers' demands for food safety and high quality. Organic vegetable harvesting techniques emphasize timely picking, ensuring vegetables are harvested at optimal maturity and delivered to consumers quickly, preserving their freshness and nutritional value to the greatest extent possible.

[0003] Traditionally, to maintain the good appearance of organic vegetables when they reach consumers, it's crucial to ensure they are undamaged during harvesting. This involves manual harvesting, requiring professional training for harvesters to familiarize them with the growth characteristics of different vegetables, maturity assessment standards, and correct harvesting methods. Only by understanding the characteristics of the vegetables can appropriate actions be taken during harvesting, avoiding unnecessary damage. Most organic vegetables require root removal during harvesting to ensure that the roots and soil remain at the harvest site before being transported to cold storage. For leafy vegetables like lettuce, the roots are manually removed using garden shears. The traditional method of harvesting organic vegetables is slow, requires a large number of workers, and involves constantly removing the roots of each vegetable, resulting in high labor intensity.

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances. The following describes an embodiment of the present invention based on its overall structure.

[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An ecological vegetable harvesting device includes a support mechanism 1 and a cutting mechanism 2 and a storage mechanism 3 connected to the support mechanism 1.

[0028] The cutting mechanism 2 includes multiple positioning plates 21, a cutting component 22, and an adjusting component 23. The adjusting component 23 is connected to the support mechanism 1. The positioning plates 21 are connected to the adjusting component 23. A cutting space 210 is formed between two adjacent positioning plates 210. A baffle 24 is connected between two positioning plates 210. The baffle 24 is located at both ends of the positioning plates 21. The adjusting component 23 can adjust the distance between two adjacent positioning plates 21. The cutting component 22 is connected to the support mechanism 1 and is located directly below the cutting space 210.

[0029] The storage mechanism 3 includes a storage box 31 and a plurality of partitions 32 connected inside the storage box 31. The partitions 32 can pass through the bottom of the storage box 21 and move up and down inside the storage box 31.

[0030] The partitions 32 form spaces for placing organic vegetables with their roots cut off, allowing the organic vegetables to be placed neatly inside the storage box 31.

[0031] The adjusting component 23 adjusts the distance between two adjacent positioning plates 21, thereby adjusting the size of the formed cutting space 210, suitable for vegetables of different sizes and types. When the cutting component 22 is activated, the root of the organic vegetable is placed on the cutting space 210, and the part of the organic vegetable above the root can be stuck between the positioning plates 21, so that the organic vegetable will not fall out of the cutting space 210, while the root of the organic vegetable will contact the cutting component 22 below the cutting space 210.

[0032] See Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the adjusting component 23 includes a mounting block 231 and a connecting block 232. The mounting block 231 is connected to the support mechanism 1. A sliding groove 2310 is provided on the mounting block 231. A slider is connected in the sliding groove 2310. The connecting block 232 is connected to the slider. The positioning plate 21 is connected to the connecting block 232.

[0033] The slider can move within the groove 2310, thereby moving the positioning plate 21 to adjust the distance between the positioning plates 21.

[0034] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the cross-section of the positioning plate 21 is trapezoidal, and the inclined surfaces of two adjacent positioning plates 21 are arranged opposite to each other; an installation strip is connected to the bottom of the baffle 24, and the two ends of the installation strip are respectively connected to the bottom of two adjacent positioning plates 21.

[0035] Specifically, the cross-section of the positioning plate 21 is trapezoidal. When the trapezoidal positioning plates are set, the inclined surfaces of one positioning plate and the inclined surfaces of the other positioning plate are set face to face, forming a cutting gap 210 with a small bottom and a large top. This ensures that the part of the organic vegetable above the root can be stuck between the positioning plates 21.

[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In a preferred embodiment, the support mechanism 1 includes a base 11 and a first support plate 12 and a plurality of second support plates 13 connected to the base 11. A mounting base 14 is connected to the first support plate 11, and a mounting opening 140 is provided on the mounting base 14. The cutting component 22 is connected to the mounting opening 140, and the adjusting component 23 is connected to the mounting base 14. A receiving cavity 130 is provided on the second support plate 130, and a connecting plate 15 is provided inside the receiving cavity 130. The connecting plate 15 is connected to the partition 32, and the storage box 31 is connected to the second support plate 13. A fixing block 16 is connected to the end of the second support plate 13, and the end of the connecting plate 15 passes through the fixing block 16.

[0037] The storage box 21 has an open top and a door on one side. The fixing block 16 is connected to both ends of the second support plate 13 with screws. The partition 32 is designed to be raised and lowered for accessing the organic vegetables between the partitions. The partition 32 can move up and down within the receiving cavity 130, and the fixing block 16 is used to support the partition 32 after it has been raised into the storage box 1. In some preferred embodiments, the raising and lowering of the partition 32 can be electrically powered, such as by an electric push rod.

[0038] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the cutting component 22 includes a plurality of tool assemblies 221 and a mounting plate 222. The tool assembly 221 includes a blade 2211 and a rotating shaft 2212 connected to the blade 2211. The rotating shaft 2212 is connected to a drive motor, the drive motor is connected to the mounting plate 222, and the mounting plate 22 is connected to the support mechanism 1. The plurality of tool assemblies 221 are arranged in a linear array on the mounting plate 222.

[0039] When the roots of organic vegetables are cut off, the drive motor drives the rotating shaft 2212 to rotate, which in turn drives the blade 2211 on the rotating shaft 2212 to rotate. During the rotation of the blade 2211, the roots of the organic vegetables can be cut off.

[0040] The support mechanism 1 is connected to a fixing plate 17 on its side, and the control switch assembly is mounted on the fixing plate 17. Multiple drive motors are uniformly controlled by the control switch assembly.

[0041] In summary, the ecological vegetable harvesting device provided by this utility model can efficiently cut off the roots of ecological vegetables, which to some extent solves the problems of slow harvesting and high harvesting costs, and also reduces the harvesting intensity of workers.

[0042] The foregoing descriptions of specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention are for the purpose of illustration and description. These descriptions are not intended to limit the present invention to the precise form disclosed, and it is obvious that many changes and variations can be made based on the above teachings.
