Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water chestnut harvesting tools, specifically a water chestnut harvesting tool. Background Technology
[0002] Gorgon fruit is an aquatic plant belonging to the Nymphaeaceae family, widely distributed in wetlands and ponds across Asia. Its fruit is edible and is commonly known as "chicken head rice" or "yam rice." The rhizome of the gorgon fruit plant grows in water, and the fruit either floats on the surface or sinks in the water. It has a hard, spiky exterior and contains edible seeds. Due to the unique growing environment of gorgon fruit, a harvesting tool is needed to improve harvesting efficiency and quality.
[0003] The existing technology has the following shortcomings: Application No. 202222084981.5 proposes a water chestnut harvester, relating to the technical field of water chestnut harvesting, including a U-shaped gripping plate; two floats fixedly connected to two opposite sidewalls of the gripping plate; two limiting plates fixedly connected to both ends of the gripping plate; wherein the opposite sides of the two limiting plates each have a cutting edge; a positioning plate fixedly connected to two opposite sidewalls of the gripping plate; a sliding rod slidably passing through the positioning plate; a pull rod fixedly connected to one end of the slide rod opposite the middle plate of the gripping plate; a connecting plate fixedly connected to the end of the slide rod away from the pull rod; and two blades fixedly connected to the connecting plate at positions corresponding to the two cutting edges. This application has advantages such as ease of use, resistance to sinking to the bottom, and resistance to erosion by mud and sand.
[0004] When using the above-mentioned device, the water chestnut leaves are densely distributed in the water chestnut field. Before harvesting, the thick water chestnut leaves need to be cut open and turned to one side to make it easier to reach into the water to take out the water chestnuts. The blade design of the harvester cannot cut the water chestnut leaves, so it is still necessary to carry a separate knife to facilitate the separation of water chestnut leaves. At the same time, the blade is used to cut the root of the water chestnut by moving it close to the limiting groove. During the cutting process, the water chestnuts need to be taken out of the water and then another harvester is used to cut the root. During the process, one hand needs to hold the harvester. Even if the harvester can float on the water surface with the help of the float board, there is still a risk of losing it. The effectiveness of use can be further improved. Utility Model Content

[0026] The leaves of the water chestnut can be easily cut open using the slicing knife 4.
[0027] In this embodiment, the mounting part 1 and the arc-shaped component 2 are integrally formed, the cutting blade 3 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the arc-shaped component 2, and the mounting section 401 is fixedly installed on one end of the arc-shaped component 2 by screws, with the blade edge 402 facing the same direction as the arc-shaped component 2.
[0028] Specifically, the mounting section 401 facilitates the mounting of the scribing blade 4 onto the arc-shaped component 2.
[0029] In this embodiment, one end of the strap 5 is fixedly installed on one end of the mounting part 1, the through hole 6 is adapted to the strap 5, and the buckle 7 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the other end of the strap 5. There are three sets of buckles 7 arranged vertically.
[0030] Specifically, the picker can be fixed to the user's thumb by combining the strap 5 with the mounting piece 1.
[0031] In this embodiment, the concave buckle 8 is fixedly installed on the outside of the strap 5. There are six sets of concave buckles 8 arranged horizontally and three sets of concave buckles 8 arranged vertically. The convex buckle 7 is adapted to the concave buckle 8. The mounting part 1, the arc component 2, the cutting blade 3 and the slicing blade 4 are specifically cast from stainless steel. The strap 5 can be fixed by the concave buckle 8 and the convex buckle 7 fastening each other, ensuring the stability of the harvester.
[0032] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In actual use, the harvester needs to wear extended waterproof gloves, then pass the strap 5 through the opening 6, forming a ring structure between the strap 5 and the mounting part 1. The user inserts their thumb into the ring structure formed between the strap 5 and the mounting part 1, tightens the strap 5 to fasten the protruding buckle 7 into the corresponding concave buckle 8, thus fixing the harvester on the harvester's thumb, and ensuring that the orientation of the arc-shaped component 2 is consistent with the orientation of the palm. When not in use, it can be worn on the thumb, and the blade 9 and the cutting edge 402 will not injure the hand wearing the harvester. The harvester can also be used on the four hands excluding the thumb. The finger is retracted, allowing the cutting blade 4 to be fully exposed. This blade can cut open and unfold the water chestnut leaves, eliminating the need for an additional knife to cut the leaves. After scooping the chestnuts out of the water, the curved component 2 is pressed against the chestnut, aligning the cutting blade 3 with the point where the chestnut connects to its root. The thumb is then used to push forward while rotating the chestnut, causing the cutting blade 3 to make a circular cut at the point where the chestnut connects to its root, thus cutting off the chestnut. The harvester is worn on the finger to prevent loss, and the root can be cut directly after the chestnut is scooped out. The harvester does not occupy both hands, allowing the hands to perform other tasks while holding it, thus improving the efficiency of use.
