Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of grape harvesting, specifically to a grape harvester. Background Technology

[0002] Grapes are woody vines belonging to the genus *Vitis* in the family Vitaceae. Their twigs are cylindrical with longitudinal ridges, hairless or sparsely pubescent, with ovate leaves. Their panicles are dense or sparse, with well-developed basal branches, and their fruits are spherical or elliptical.

[0003] While automatic grape harvesting machines exist, their high cost means manual harvesting remains the primary method used in most agricultural industries. Manual harvesting involves holding the grapes with one hand and using scissors to cut the stems with the other. When the hand is open and holding the grapes, some grapes are easily rubbed off during contact, affecting their appearance and rendering them unsellable. Therefore, a grape harvesting device is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the problem that some grapes are easily rubbed off during manual harvesting in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a grape harvester, comprising: a U-shaped support plate, an end cap fitted to one end of the U-shaped support plate, a limiting plate fitted inside the U-shaped support plate and arranged parallel to the end cap with an adjustable distance from the end cap, a handle fitted to the side of the U-shaped support plate via a connecting frame, and a stalk disconnecting unit for disconnecting the stalks.

[0006] The end cap is provided with a first notch that is open at one end for the stalk to enter. The stalk disconnection unit switch includes a motor mounted on the end cap and located near the first notch, a blade mounted on the motor output shaft, a battery mounted on the connecting frame and electrically connected to the motor, and a switch mounted on the handle for controlling the battery power supply.

[0007] Preferably, a sponge pad is provided on the inner side of the U-shaped tray and on the side of the limiting plate near the end cover.

[0008] Preferably, the open end of the first notch is provided with a flared portion.

[0009] Preferably, the blade is located on the side of the end cap near the limiting plate, and a protective shell sleeved on the outside of the blade is assembled on the end cap by a first mounting bolt. The protective shell is provided with a second notch that matches the first notch.

[0010] Preferably, mounting portions are provided on both sides of the U-shaped support plate, and the connecting frame is connected to one of the mounting portions by a plurality of second mounting bolts.

[0011] Preferably, a strip-shaped groove of the same length is provided through one side of the U-shaped tray, and a connecting part is provided on the limiting plate that can contact the inner wall of the U-shaped tray. Several third mounting bolts, all passing through the strip-shaped groove and whose heads can abut against the outer wall of the U-shaped tray, are threadedly connected to the connecting part.

[0012] Preferably, the battery is provided with a charging interface.

[0013] According to the above technical solution, the grape harvester provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects during use:

[0014] Firstly, when picking grapes, hold the handle and place the U-shaped support plate on the outside of the grape. The stem will enter the first notch. Then press the switch to close the circuit. The battery powers the motor, which drives the blade to rotate and cut the stem. By supporting the grape with the U-shaped support plate, the probability of the grapes being rubbed off can be reduced, thus improving the appearance of the harvested grapes.

[0015] Secondly, it can be harvested with one hand, freeing up the other hand to lift the obscuring leaves for easy harvesting, making it convenient to use;

[0016] Thirdly, since different varieties of grapes have different body shapes, adjusting the distance between the limiting plate and the end cap can reduce the shaking of the grapes in the U-shaped tray, thereby reducing the probability of the fruit falling and improving the appearance of the harvested grapes.

[0017] Other features and advantages of this utility model will be described in detail in the following detailed description section; and all parts not covered in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0026] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional words such as "upper," "lower," "inner," and "outer" included in the terminology only represent the orientation of the term in its conventional use or are common terms understood by those skilled in the art, and should not be regarded as limitations on the term.

[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a grape harvester includes: a U-shaped support plate 1, an end cap 2 fitted to one end of the U-shaped support plate 1, a limiting plate 3 fitted inside the U-shaped support plate 1 and arranged parallel to the end cap 2 with an adjustable distance from the end cap 2, a handle 5 fitted to the side of the U-shaped support plate 1 via a connecting frame 4, and a stalk disconnecting unit for disconnecting the stalks.

[0028] The end cap 2 is provided with a first notch 6 that is open at one end for the stalk to enter. The stalk disconnection unit switch 10 includes a motor 7 mounted on the end cap 2 and located near the first notch 6, a blade 8 mounted on the output shaft of the motor 7, a battery 9 mounted on the connecting frame 4 and electrically connected to the motor 7, and a switch 10 mounted on the handle 5 for controlling the power supply of the battery 9.

[0029] When grapes need to be harvested, hold handle 5 and place U-shaped support plate 1 on the outside of the grape. The stem will enter the first notch 6. Then press switch 10 to close the circuit. Battery 9 powers motor 7, which drives blade 8 to rotate and cut the stem. By supporting the grape with U-shaped support plate 1, the probability of the grapes being rubbed off can be reduced, improving the appearance of the harvested grapes. Harvesting can be completed with one hand, freeing up the other hand to lift the covering leaves for easy harvesting. It is convenient to use.

[0030] Because different varieties of grapes have different body shapes, adjusting the distance between the limiting plate 3 and the end cap 2 can reduce the shaking of the grapes in the U-shaped tray 1, thereby reducing the probability of the fruit falling and improving the appearance of the grapes after harvest.

[0031] The motor 7, battery 9 and switch 10 are electrically connected by a wire. The wire is a mature existing technology and is therefore not shown in the figure.

[0032] A sponge pad 11 is provided on the inner side of the U-shaped tray 1 and on the side of the limiting plate 3 near the end cap 2.

[0033] The sponge pad 11 can further protect the grapes and improve their appearance at harvest.

[0034] The first notch 6 has a flared end.

[0035] The flared part facilitates the movement of the ear stalk into the first notch 6.

[0036] The blade 8 is located on the side of the end cover 2 near the limiting plate 3. The end cover 2 is fitted with a protective shell 12 that is sleeved on the outside of the blade 8 by a first mounting bolt. The protective shell 12 is provided with a second notch that matches the first notch 6.

[0037] The protective shell 12 can separate the blade 8 from the grapes, preventing the blade 8 from accidentally damaging the grapes.

[0038] The U-shaped support plate 1 has mounting parts 13 on both sides, and the connecting frame 4 is connected to one of the mounting parts 13 by a number of second mounting bolts.

[0039] Since each user has different usage habits, the connecting bracket 4 can be assembled on the corresponding mounting part 13 according to the specific usage situation.

[0040] A strip-shaped groove 14 of the same length is provided through one side of the U-shaped tray 1. A connecting part 15 is provided on the limiting plate 3, which can contact the inner wall of the U-shaped tray 1. Several third mounting bolts 16 are threadedly connected to the connecting part 15, all of which pass through the strip-shaped groove 14 and whose heads can abut against the outer wall of the U-shaped tray 1.

[0041] Loosen the third mounting bolt 16, and the distance between the head of the third mounting bolt 16 and the connecting part 15 will increase. The third mounting bolt 16 can then slide in the strip groove 14, thereby adjusting the distance between the limiting plate 3 and the end cover 2. Tighten the third mounting bolt 16 to fix the limiting plate 3.

[0042] The battery 9 is provided with a charging interface 17.

[0043] Battery 9 can be charged after each use.

[0044] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0045] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable way without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this utility model will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0046] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this utility model can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this utility model, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed by this utility model.
