Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit technology, specifically a fruit planting and harvesting device. Background Technology

[0002] Fruits refer to juicy plant fruits with a predominantly sweet and sour taste. They are rich in vitamins and dietary fiber, and can promote digestion after consumption. Harvesting ripe fruits is one of the most labor-intensive aspects of fruit tree cultivation and management, and it has a decisive impact on the quality and yield of fruits. Appropriate harvesting techniques can ensure the integrity and nutritional value of fruits, thereby improving their yield and quality.

[0003] When using existing fruit planting and harvesting equipment, taking fruits such as apples and oranges that are round and firm and grow on trees as an example, workers generally use a telescopic aerial harvester to pick them from the tree. There is a funnel-shaped net bag at the head of the aerial harvester, and the fruit is temporarily stored inside the net bag. However, as more and more fruit accumulates inside the net bag at the head of the harvester, workers need to exert more force to hold the handle at the tail of the harvester to keep it balanced. After a long period of harvesting work, workers are easily unable to continue the harvesting task due to arm soreness and weakness, which undoubtedly delays the progress of fruit harvesting. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fruit planting and harvesting device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5As shown, a fruit planting and harvesting device includes a first rod 1, which is hollow. A second rod 2 is coaxially and slidably connected inside the first rod 1. A support base 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the second rod 2. A first annular seat 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the support base 5. A fruit receiving hopper 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom edge of the first annular seat 6. A long tube bag 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fruit receiving hopper 9. The device also includes an adjustment component 3 located on the outside of the first rod 1 to facilitate quick adjustment of the extension length of the second rod 2. A collar 15 is fixedly connected to the outside of the bottom end of the first rod 1. A strip rod 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the collar 15. A second annular seat 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the strip rod 14. The bottom end of the long tube bag 10 is connected to the second annular seat 12. The outer side of the fruit-picking component 7 can cut the fruit stem. By setting the fruit-picking component 7, the fruit stem can be cut after the fruit to be picked enters the fruit-receiving hopper 9, thus picking the fruit from the fruit tree. The long tube bag 10 is equipped with a buffer component 11 to slow down the rolling speed of the fruit. By setting the buffer component 11, the rolling speed of the fruit can be greatly reduced, thus avoiding the collision between fruits at high speed and affecting the picking quality. The bottom of the second ring seat 12 is equipped with a temporary storage component 13 to facilitate the collection of fruit inside the long tube bag 10. By setting the temporary storage component 13, the fruit that rolls from a height inside the long tube bag 10 can be collected. When the fruit accumulates to a certain extent, the temporary storage component 13 can be opened to pour the collected fruit into the fruit box.

[0024] The adjusting assembly 3 includes a fixing groove 31 located on the outside of the second rod 2. A locking bolt 32 perpendicular to the top outer side of the first rod 1 is provided. One end of the locking bolt 32 extends into the fixing groove 31, and the other end of the locking bolt 32 is fixedly connected to an adjusting knob 33. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the cooperation between the locking bolt 32 and the fixing groove 31 allows the staff to quickly adjust the extension length of the second rod 2 inside the first rod 1 according to the actual height of the fruit tree. This adjusts the overall length of the picking pole to the optimal state, which is beneficial to the fruit picking work.

[0025] The fruit-picking assembly 7 includes comb teeth 71 fixed to the top of one side of the first annular seat 6. A blade holder 72 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the first annular seat 6. The blade holder 72 has a cutting disc 73 adapted to it inside. Multiple limiting grooves 74 are opened on the inner wall of the cutting disc 73. Each limiting groove 74 has a stem-cutting blade 75 on both sides of its inner wall. One side of the cutting disc 73 is connected to the blade holder 72 by bolts. Figure 1 , Figure 5As shown, the fruit to be harvested can enter the fruit receiving hopper 9 through the space on the side away from the cutting disc 73 of the first annular seat 6. Then, driven by the first rod 1 and the second rod 2, the fruit stem will gradually move closer to the limiting groove 74 on the cutting disc 73. When the fruit stem reaches the end of the opening of the stem cutting blade 75, the comb teeth 71 limit the branches of the fruit tree, the cutting disc 73 limits the fruit, and the fruit stem located between the comb teeth 71 and the cutting disc 73 will be tensioned, so that the stem cutting blade 75 can smoothly complete the cutting of the fruit stem, thereby completing the harvesting of the fruit.

[0026] The outer side of the limiting groove 74, away from the blade holder 72, has a rounded corner 8, such as... Figure 5 As shown, by setting the rounded corner 8, the sharp end of the limiting groove 74 can be prevented from piercing the fruit due to accidental operation by the staff during fruit picking, thus avoiding affecting the appearance of the fruit.

[0027] The cushioning assembly 11 includes an inner support ring 111 disposed inside the elongated tubular bag 10. Multiple inner support rings 111 are provided. The outer wall of the inner support ring 111 is connected to the elongated tubular bag 10. A cushioning pouch 112 is fixedly connected to the bottom edge of the inner support ring 111. Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the harvested fruit enters the long tube bag 10 through the fruit receiving hopper 9. Under the action of multiple buffer pockets 112 inside the long tube bag 10, the fruit is buffered and slowed down layer by layer, which greatly reduces the rolling speed of the fruit and avoids the fruit colliding with each other at high speed, thus affecting the harvesting quality.

[0028] The temporary storage assembly 13 includes a collection bag 131 fixed to the bottom of the second annular seat 12. The bottom of the collection bag 131 has a fruit outlet 132, and the outer side of the bottom end of the collection bag 131 is provided with an elastic drawstring 133 for controlling the opening and closing of the fruit outlet 132. Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the picked fruit is slowed down by the buffer component 11 and then guided into the collection bag 131. This avoids the fruit accumulating too much inside the fruit receiving bucket 9 and hindering the operation of the fruit picking component 7. It also prevents the fruit receiving bucket 9 from being too heavy and affecting the staff's grip on the first rod 1, thus reducing the staff's workload. When the fruit inside the collection bag 131 accumulates to a certain extent, the fruit outlet 132 can be opened by the elastic rope 133 to facilitate the pouring of the collected fruit into the fruit box.

[0029] A non-slip grip 4 is provided below the collar 15. The non-slip grip 4 is fixedly installed on the outside of the first rod body 1. The non-slip grip 4 is made of rubber or silicone material. Figure 1As shown, by setting the anti-slip grip 4, the friction between the worker's palm and the first rod 1 can be increased, which improves the gripping stability of the first rod 1. At the same time, the anti-slip grip 4 is made of rubber or silicone material, which is soft and more comfortable to grip.

[0030] Working principle: First, the staff can quickly adjust the extension length of the second pole 2 inside the first pole 1 according to the actual height of the fruit tree by adjusting component 3. This adjusts the overall length of the picking pole to the optimal state, which is conducive to the fruit picking work. Then, the fruit picking component 7 can smoothly cut the fruit stem to complete the picking of the fruit. The picked fruit will fall into the fruit receiving hopper 9. The buffer component 11 will then buffer and slow down the fruit layer by layer, which will greatly reduce the rolling speed of the fruit and prevent the fruit from colliding with each other at high speed, thus affecting the picking quality. Then, the temporary storage component 13 will prevent the fruit inside the fruit receiving hopper 9 from piling up too much fruit and obstructing the operation of the picking component 7. At the same time, it will also prevent the weight of the fruit receiving hopper 9 from affecting the staff's grip on the first pole 1, thus reducing the staff's workload.
