Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of XXX, specifically a citrus harvesting device. Background Technology

[0002] Citrus is a general term for oranges, tangerines, mandarins, kumquats, pomelos, trifoliate oranges, etc. Common citrus varieties include, but are not limited to: tangerines, mandarins, oranges, and pomelos. Citrus fruits can be eaten directly or processed into various foods, such as juice, jam, and preserves.

[0003] Citrus fruits mostly grow along the banks of rivers and lakes, or in plains, hills, and low mountains. They prefer a warm and humid subtropical climate, are not cold-hardy, and are somewhat shade-tolerant. In China, citrus fruits are mainly distributed in Gansu, Jiangsu, and Hainan provinces, where they are widely cultivated and rarely found in the semi-wild.

[0004] The existing method of citrus harvesting usually involves workers using scissors to cut the citrus branches. However, through use and observation, it has been found that when the citrus trees are at a high altitude, workers need to climb to work, which makes the citrus harvesting work more complicated.

[0005] Therefore, a citrus harvesting device is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 5As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a citrus harvesting device includes a first rod 1; a second rod 12 is slidably connected to the top of the first rod 1; an adjustment component 111 is provided on the surface of the second rod 12; a circular plate 13 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the first rod 1; a sleeve 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the circular plate 13; the sleeve 14 and the first rod 1 are rotatably connected; a first spring 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 14; a connecting rod 16 is fixedly connected to the end of the first spring 15; the connecting rod 16 and the sleeve 14 are slidably connected; a first gear 17 is rotatably connected to the top of the inner wall of the second rod 12; the first gear 17 and the connecting rod 16 are fixedly connected; multiple second gears 18 are rotatably connected to the top of the inner wall of the second rod 12; the first gear 17 and the second gear 18 are meshed; a blade 19 is fixedly connected to the middle of the second gear 18; the blade 19 and the second rod 12 are slidably connected; a collecting component 110 is provided on the surface of the second rod 12; during normal operation, the first spring 15 will be under pressure. In the retracted state, when workers need to harvest citrus fruits from higher locations, they can control the second rod 12 to slide within the first rod 1 via the adjusting component 111. As the second rod 12 slides, the connecting rod 16 slides along the sleeve 14 under the elastic force of the first spring 15. After adjusting the second rod 12 to a suitable height, workers can place the collecting component 110 at the bottom of the citrus fruit. At this time, the blade 19 will be positioned at the top of the citrus fruit. Then, rotating the circular plate 13 causes the sleeve 14 and connecting rod 16 to drive the first gear 17 to rotate. When the first gear 17 rotates, it meshes with the second gear 18, causing a pair of second gears 18 to rotate. The rotation of the second gears 18 changes the angle between the pair of blades 19, causing them to move closer together and cut the branches where the citrus fruit is located, allowing the citrus fruit to detach from the tree and enter the collecting component 110, thus enabling the device to quickly harvest citrus fruits from higher locations. Rotating the circular plate 13 allows the second gear 18 to drive the blades 19 to cut the citrus branches, enabling the device to quickly harvest citrus fruits from higher locations and improving the convenience of citrus harvesting.

[0026] Please see Figure 4As shown, the adjustment component 111 includes a pair of second springs 22; the second springs 22 and the second rod 12 are fixedly connected; a retaining plate 23 is fixedly connected to the end of the second spring 22; multiple fixing holes 2 are symmetrically opened on the surface of the first rod 1; the fixing holes 2 and the retaining plates 23 are correspondingly arranged; during normal operation, the retaining plates 23 will be located inside the fixing holes 2. When it is necessary to adjust the length of the second rod 12, the operator can press the retaining plates 23 on both sides and move the second rod 12 at the same time. When the retaining plates 23 are disengaged from the fixing holes 2, the second rod 12 will be in an active state. The second rod 12 will move together with the second springs 22 and the retaining plates 23 until the retaining plates 23 are engaged in the next fixing hole 2, so as to realize the device's rapid adjustment of the overall length of the first rod 1 and the second rod 12; pressing the retaining plates 23 to make them enter the fixing holes 2 at different heights realizes the device's adjustment of the overall height of the first rod 1 and the second rod 12, so that the device can pick citrus fruits at different heights, further improving the convenience and flexibility of the device for citrus picking.

[0027] Please see Figure 4 As shown, a sponge 3 is fixed to the surface of the card plate 23; the surface of the sponge 3 has an arc-shaped structure; when the worker works for a long time, their palms will sweat due to labor. When the worker presses the card plate 23, their fingers will first come into contact with the sponge 3, and the sponge 3 will absorb the sweat on the surface of their fingers, increasing the friction when the worker presses the card plate 23 and improving the stability of the device in adjusting the second rod 12.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the collection assembly 110 includes a collection box 4; a pair of elastic clamps 42 are fixedly connected to the middle of the collection box 4; magnets 43 are fixedly connected to the ends of the elastic clamps 42; the second rod body 12 is located inside the elastic clamps 42; when the collection box 4 is installed on the surface of the second rod body 12, the worker can pull open the pair of elastic clamps 42 to make them open, and then put the elastic clamps 42 on the surface of the second rod body 12. The elastic clamps 42 will move closer to each other under the action of elastic force, and the magnets 43 will also move closer to each other and make contact with the elastic clamps 42. The pair of elastic clamps 42 will stick to each other under the magnetic force between the magnets 43, so that the collection box 4 will be fixed on the surface of the second rod body 12 under the friction of the elastic clamps 42 and the second rod body 12. Then, the citrus fruits can be picked and collected through the collection box 4, which improves the convenience of installing and removing the collection box 4.

[0029] Please see Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of bristles 5 are fixed to the inner side wall of the collection box 4; the bristles 5 are arranged at equal intervals; when the citrus falls into the collection box 4, it will come into contact with the bristles 5, and the bristles 5 will clean the surface of the citrus and reduce the impurities attached to the surface of the citrus.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 As shown, a drill bit 6 is fixed to the bottom of the circular plate 13; the end of the drill bit 6 is sharp; when workers need to rest during outdoor work, the entire device can be inserted into the soil through the drill bit 6, so that the device can be temporarily fixed on the ground, improving the convenience of temporary fixation of the device.

[0031] Please see Figure 4 As shown, the surface of the card plate 23 is an arc-shaped structure; because the surface of the card plate 23 is an arc-shaped structure, the resistance is smaller when the card plate 23 enters the fixing hole 2, reducing the friction between the card plate 23 and the fixing hole 2.

[0032] Working principle: During normal operation, the first spring 15 is in a compressed state. When workers need to pick citrus fruits from a high place, they can control the second rod 12 to slide inside the first rod 1 through the adjusting component 111. When the second rod 12 slides, the connecting rod 16 will slide along the sleeve 14 under the elastic force of the first spring 15. After adjusting the second rod 12 to a suitable height, the workers can place the collecting component 110 at the bottom of the citrus fruit. At this time, the blade 19 will be placed at the top of the citrus fruit. Then, rotating the circular plate 13 will cause the sleeve 14 and the connecting rod 16 to drive the first gear 17 to rotate. When the first gear 17 rotates, it will drive the second gear... The meshing of gears 18 causes a pair of second gears 18 to rotate. The rotation of the second gears 18 changes the angle between a pair of blades 19, causing the blades 19 to move closer together and cut the branches containing the citrus fruit. This allows the citrus fruit to detach from the tree and enter the collection assembly 110, enabling the device to quickly harvest citrus fruit from high places. During normal operation, the locking plate 23 is located inside the fixing hole 2. When the length of the second rod 12 needs to be adjusted, the operator can press both locking plates 23 and move the second rod 12 simultaneously. When the locking plate 23 disengages from the fixing hole 2, the second rod 12 is in an active state, and the second rod 12 will carry the second spring... Spring 22 and clamping plate 23 move together until clamping plate 23 engages with the next fixing hole 2, enabling rapid adjustment of the overall length of the first rod 1 and the second rod 12. When workers work for extended periods, their palms may sweat. When pressing clamping plate 23, their fingers will first contact sponge 3, which absorbs the sweat, increasing friction when pressing clamping plate 23. When installing collection box 4 on the surface of the second rod 12, workers can pull open a pair of elastic clamps 42, then slip the elastic clamps 42 onto the surface of the second rod 12. The two elastic clamps 42 will move closer together under the action of elastic force, and the magnets 43 will also move closer together and make contact with each other along with the elastic clamps 42. The pair of elastic clamps 42 will stick together under the magnetic force between the magnets 43, so that the collection box 4 will be fixed on the surface of the second rod 12 under the friction of the elastic clamps 42 and the second rod 12. Then, the citrus can be picked and collected through the collection box 4. When the citrus falls into the collection box 4, it will come into contact with the brush bristles 5, and the brush bristles 5 will clean the surface of the citrus. When the staff needs to rest during outdoor work, the entire device can be inserted into the soil through the drill bit 6, so that the device can be temporarily fixed on the ground.

[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
