Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pumpkin planting equipment, specifically to a single-handed baby pumpkin harvesting device. Background Technology
[0002] Baby pumpkin is a variety of pumpkin that is small in size, sweet, nutritious, and has a different taste from traditional pumpkins.
[0003] Baby squash is harvested after it matures. Currently, most of the harvesting is done manually, where the harvester holds the squash in one hand and uses scissors or a knife to cut off the stem with the other hand before taking the squash away. This harvesting method requires both hands to work together, which is inconvenient and inefficient. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a one-handed kabocha squash harvesting device, which can cut the kabocha squash stem with one hand, which is convenient, quick and efficient.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a single-handed kabocha squash harvesting device, comprising a harvesting tray, the harvesting tray including a receiving tray, an arc-shaped enclosure provided on the receiving tray; a support plate fixedly connected to the top of the arc-shaped enclosure, a pair of scissors provided on the support plate, the scissors being located directly above the receiving tray, which can conveniently cut off the stem of the kabocha squash, an arm fixing plate connected to the end of the support plate away from the scissors, and a binding assembly provided on the arm fixing plate, the binding assembly being used to bind and fix the arm fixing plate to the forearm of the harvester.
[0006] Furthermore, the arm fixing plate is provided with a placement groove, which not only makes it convenient to bind and fix the arm fixing plate to the forearm of the harvester, but also improves comfort.
[0007] Furthermore, the binding assembly includes an arm strap and a securing loop. One end of the arm strap is positioned on one side of the arm fixing plate, and the securing loop is positioned on the other side of the arm fixing plate. Preferably, the arm fixing plate has a perforation on the edge on the same side as the securing loop for the arm strap to pass through. The perforation facilitates the binding and securing of the arm strap. The forearm is placed on the arm fixing plate, and the arm strap is passed over the forearm through the perforation and secured to the securing loop, thereby fixing the arm fixing plate to the forearm of the harvester.
[0008] Furthermore, a mesh is provided at the bottom of the harvesting tray.
[0009] Furthermore, the arc-shaped enclosure has a semi-circular structure.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] By setting up an arm strap, a placement slot, a perforation, and a fixing ring, the forearm of the hand can be placed on the placement slot, the arm strap can be pressed onto the forearm and passed through the perforation until it passes through the opening on the fixing ring, and the arm strap can be tied to the fixing ring. In this way, the harvesting device can be fixed to the forearm of the hand. This invention allows for one-handed cutting of the stem of the baby pumpkin, which is convenient, quick, and efficient.

[0012] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model.
[0013] In the picture: 1. Picking tray; 11. Receiving tray; 12. Arc-shaped enclosure; 2. Netting; 3. Scissors; 4. Support plate; 5. Arm fixing plate; 6. Arm strap; 7. Placement slot; 8. Perforation; 9. Belt ring. Detailed Implementation
[0014] 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.
[0015] like Figure 1As shown, a single-handed kabocha squash harvesting device includes a harvesting tray 1 with a mesh 2 at its bottom. The harvesting tray 1 includes a receiving tray 11 with an arc-shaped enclosure 12 on it. The arc-shaped enclosure 12 has a semi-circular structure. A support plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the arc-shaped enclosure 12. Scissors 3 are mounted on the support plate 4 and are located directly above the receiving tray 11, allowing for easy cutting of the kabocha squash stem. An arm fixing plate 5 is connected to the end of the support plate 4 away from the scissors 3. The arm fixing plate 5 has a placement groove 7, which not only facilitates binding the arm fixing plate 5 to the harvester's forearm but also improves comfort. The arm fixing plate 5 is equipped with a binding assembly for binding the arm fixing plate 5 to the harvester's forearm. The binding assembly includes an arm strap 6 and a fixing ring 9. One end of the arm strap 6 is located on one side of the arm fixing plate 5, and the fixing ring 9 is located on the other side of the arm fixing plate 5. Preferably, the arm fixing plate 5 has a through hole 8 on the edge of the same side as the fixing ring 9 for the arm strap 6 to pass through. The through hole 8 facilitates the binding and fixing of the arm strap 6. The forearm is placed on the arm fixing plate 5, and the arm strap 6 is passed from above the forearm through the through hole 8 and bound to the fixing ring 9, thereby fixing the arm fixing plate 5 to the forearm of the harvester.
[0016] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the harvester places their forearm into the placement slot 7, then presses the arm strap 6 onto their forearm and passes it through the perforation 8 until it passes through the opening on the fixing ring 9, and then binds the arm strap 6 to the fixing ring 9, thus fixing the device to the harvester's forearm. When harvesting baby pumpkins, the receiving plate 11 is aligned with the baby pumpkin and placed inside. The harvester uses their index finger and thumb to operate the scissors 3 to cut the stem of the baby pumpkin. The mesh 2 at the bottom of the harvesting plate 1 effectively protects the harvested baby pumpkins from falling. In this way, the harvester can wear the device on their left hand to harvest, and hold the baby pumpkin collection bag with their right hand. The harvested baby pumpkins are poured into the collection bag. This method is more convenient and faster than the conventional manual harvesting method for baby pumpkins, and improves harvesting efficiency.
