A first fixing plate 110 is provided on both sides of the two arc plates 102 of the two collection covers 1. The first fixing plate 110 and the second fixing plate 112 of the two collection covers 1 are alternately provided. When the two collection covers 1 are put together, the two arc plates 102 of the two collection covers 1 can be fixedly connected by inserting two first insert rods 111 into the first fixing plates 110 on both sides. The second fixing plate 112 on the lower side of the two inclined frames 101 of the two collection covers 1 is aligned and then the second insert rod 113 is inserted into the second fixing plate 112 for limiting connection.
[0030] Reference Figure 5The collection box 2 includes a box body 201 and a support plate 203. A first groove 204 is opened on both sides of the inner wall of the box body 201 at the front and rear sides. A second groove 206 is opened on both sides of the inner wall of the front and rear sides of the box body 201 near the sides. A buffer pad 208 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support plate 203. A first slider 205 is fixedly installed on both ends of the support plate 203 at the front and rear sides. A second slider 207 is fixedly installed on both ends of the support plate 203 near the front and rear sides. A spring 202 is fixedly installed on both sides of the lower end of the support plate 203.
[0031] Four first sliders 205 are slidably set to four first slide grooves 204 respectively, four second sliders 207 are slidably set to four second slide grooves 206 respectively, and the lower ends of the two springs 202 are fixedly set to the inner wall of the box 201.
[0032] Specifically, the collection box 2 can collect fallen citrus fruits. Two springs 202 are installed on the lower side of the support plate 203. The two springs 202 support the support plate 203 so that when the fallen fruit slides off the inclined frame 101, it can fall directly onto the support plate 203, avoiding the fruit from hitting the bottom of the box 201 and being damaged. As the number of citrus fruits entering the collection box 2 increases, the gravity increases and presses down on the support plate 203. The lower sides of the box 101 have slots for drainage.
[0033] Working principle: When using this device, two collection covers 1 are placed on the front and back sides of the citrus tree trunk 3. The first fixing plates 110 of the two collection covers 1 are alternately set, and the two first insert rods 111 are inserted into the first fixing plates 110. The two second fixing plates 112 are also alternately set, and the second insert rods 113 are inserted into the second fixing plates 112. This can stably fix the two collection covers 1 around the citrus tree trunk 3. When the citrus fruits fall, the fallen fruits slide off the cover cloth 103 and move down through the inclined frame 101 into the collection box 2 for collection. The citrus fruits that slide into the collection box 2 from the inclined frame 101 can land on the buffer pad 208. As the number of citrus fruits entering the collection box 2 increases, the gravity increases and presses down on the support plate 203, thereby preventing the citrus fruits from falling from the inclined frame 101 onto the bottom surface of the box 201 and causing damage.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
