[0023] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Example:

[0026] See attached document Figure 1 The herbaceous flower seed harvesting tool of this embodiment includes a collection bucket 1. The bottom of the collection bucket 1 is a conical structure to facilitate the discharge of herbaceous flower seeds. Four support legs 2 are evenly distributed on the side of the collection bucket 1. The bottom of the support legs 2 is fixedly installed with a movable wheel 3. The design of the support legs 2 and the movable wheel 3 makes the tool easy to move.

[0027] See attached document Figure 1 The collection bucket 1 has a feed inlet on its side, and a feed pipe 4 is fixedly installed in the feed inlet. The feed pipe 4 has a "[" shaped structure, which helps to introduce the grass flower seeds. The feed pipe 4 is inclined, and the lowest end of the feed pipe 4 is connected to the feed inlet.

[0028] See attached document Figure 1 , Figures 3-5 A bracket 5 is fixedly installed at the top of the feed pipe 4. A bidirectional screw 6 is rotatably installed on the bracket 5. A drive motor 7 is installed on the bracket 5, and the output shaft of the drive motor 7 is connected to the bidirectional screw 6. When in use, the drive motor 7 is turned on, and the output shaft of the drive motor 7 drives the bidirectional screw 6 to rotate. Movable plates 8 are threadedly connected to both sides of the bidirectional screw 6. The movable plates 8 have a trapezoidal structure, and the top of the movable plates 8 is in contact with the inner wall of the top of the bracket 5, thereby limiting the movement of the movable plates 8. This allows the movable plates 8 on both sides to move towards each other or away from each other during the rotation of the bidirectional screw 6. A cutter 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable plates 8, and the cutters 9 on both sides are set towards each other. The cutters 9 on both sides harvest the flower seeds during the process of moving towards each other. The cutters 9 are made of stainless steel, which effectively extends the service life of the cutters 9.

[0029] See attached document Figure 1 and Figure 2The bottom of the collection bucket 1 is connected to a discharge pipe 10. A control valve 13 is installed on the discharge pipe 10. Multiple hooks 11 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the discharge pipe 10. A collection bag 12 is installed below the collection bucket 1. The collection bag 12 has hook holes that are compatible with the hooks 11. The connection between the discharge pipe 10 and the collection bag 12 is achieved by using the hooks 11 and the hook holes.

[0030] See attached document Figure 1 A handrail 14 is fixedly installed on the side of the collection bucket 1, and the handrail 14 and the feed pipe 4 are respectively located on the two sides of the collection bucket 1. The handrail 14 facilitates the user's operation and movement of the harvesting tool. The outer wall of the handrail 14 is processed with anti-slip texture, and the anti-slip texture design increases the stability and safety of the user when holding it.

[0031] This herbaceous flower seed harvesting tool uses a drive motor 7 to rotate a bidirectional screw 6, causing the two trapezoidal moving plates 8 on both sides to move towards each other. This, in turn, drives the opposing cutters 9 to harvest the herbaceous flower seeds. The harvested seeds fall into a collection bucket 1. By opening the control valve 13, the seeds are discharged from the discharge pipe 10 into a collection bag 12 connected below the discharge pipe 10. Compared with traditional manual harvesting, this tool greatly improves harvesting efficiency and reduces labor costs.

[0032] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
