Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kiwifruit cultivation technology, and in particular to a shaping and pruning device for kiwifruit cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] Kiwifruit is a climbing vine with slender and flexible branches. If left to grow naturally, it will climb and become severely entangled, which not only causes inconvenience in field management but also affects its normal growth and fruiting. Therefore, pruning is necessary to help it grow.

[0003] However, existing pruning methods generally involve manually pruning kiwi vines using large shears, which is not only laborious but also somewhat dangerous. For branches at higher elevations, climbing is required to prune them, which is extremely inconvenient. Furthermore, fallen branches need to be manually removed, making the process tedious.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a shaping and pruning device for kiwifruit cultivation to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model embodiment is that the existing method of manually pruning kiwi vines with scissors is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and also poses certain dangers. A new shaping and pruning device for kiwi planting is proposed.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a pruning and shaping device for kiwifruit cultivation, including: a base, a soft storage box, a collection cover, and a pruning mechanism. The bottom of the soft storage box is fixed to the base, and the collection cover is fixed to the top of the soft storage box. The pruning mechanism includes a telescopic mechanism, a rotating mechanism, and a pruner. The telescopic mechanism is fixedly installed on the base and is located inside the soft storage box. The rotating mechanism is located on the top of the soft storage box and is located inside the collection cover. Its top is connected to the pruner via a universal joint.

[0007] This kiwifruit cultivation shaping and pruning device can directly catch and collect pruned branches through a collection cover and a soft storage box, preventing accidental injury to pruning personnel. The height and angle of the shears can be adjusted through the telescopic and rotating mechanism and the universal head, making pruning convenient.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this solution, the soft storage box includes a rigid bottom wall, a soft sleeve, and a perforated top wall. The rigid bottom wall is connected to the perforated top wall through the soft sleeve. The rigid bottom wall has an opening for accommodating a telescopic mechanism fixed to the base. The soft sleeve has a detachable opening.

[0009] Furthermore, the perforated top wall includes a wall edge and a central plate, with the wall edge connected to the central plate via multiple connecting brackets.

[0010] Furthermore, the telescopic mechanism includes a telescopic motor and a telescopic frame. The telescopic motor is located inside the opening and fixed on the base. The output shaft of the telescopic motor is connected to the telescopic frame, and the other end of the telescopic frame is fixedly connected to the center plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating motor and a rotating frame. The rotating motor is fixed on the center plate, and its output shaft is connected to the rotating frame. The other end of the rotating frame is connected to the trimmer via a universal joint.

[0012] Furthermore, the trimmer includes a fixed box and scissors. The fixed box is fixedly connected to the universal head, and electric push rods are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixed box. The two electric push rods are respectively connected to the two handles of the scissors.

[0013] Furthermore, one end of the scissors' pivot is hinged to the support rod, and a spring is fixedly arranged around the bottom end of the support rod. The other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the sleeve, which is fixed inside the fixing box.

[0014] This kiwifruit pruning and shaping device allows for the centralized collection and cleaning of branches through openings in the soft sleeve; the opening and closing of the shears are controlled by an electric push rod, making it more time-saving and labor-saving compared to manual labor.

[0021] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-2 , Figure 1 A structural perspective view of a shaping and pruning device for kiwifruit cultivation; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the external structure of a pruning and shaping device for kiwifruit cultivation. The pruning and shaping device for kiwifruit cultivation includes a base 1, a soft storage box 2, and a collection cover 3.

[0023] The bottom of the soft storage box 2 is fixed to the base 1. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3-4 , Figure 3 A top view of the soft storage box and collection cover; Figure 4 This is a structural diagram of the soft storage box. The soft storage box 2 includes a rigid bottom wall 21, a soft sleeve 22, and a perforated top wall 23. The rigid bottom wall 21 is connected to the perforated top wall 23 via the soft sleeve 22. The rigid bottom wall 21 has an opening 24 for accommodating a telescopic mechanism fixed to the base 1. The soft sleeve 22 has a detachable opening 25, through which branches collected inside the soft storage box 2 can be removed. When not in use, it can be sealed, usually with Velcro. The perforated top wall 23 includes a side wall and a central plate 26. The side wall is connected to the central plate 26 via multiple connecting brackets 27.

[0024] The collection cover 3 is fixed to the top of the soft storage box 2 and is fixedly connected to the side of the hollow top wall 23.

[0025] The trimming mechanism includes a telescopic mechanism, a rotating mechanism, and a trimmer.

[0026] The telescopic mechanism includes a telescopic motor 4 and a telescopic frame 5. The telescopic motor 4 is located inside the opening 24 and fixed on the base 1. The output shaft of the telescopic motor 4 is connected to the telescopic frame 5, and the other end of the telescopic frame 5 is fixedly connected to the center plate 26.

[0027] The rotating mechanism includes a rotating motor 6 and a rotating frame 7. The rotating motor 6 is fixed on the center plate 26, and its output shaft is connected to the rotating frame 7. The other end of the rotating frame 7 is connected to the trimmer through a universal joint 8.
