Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural planting technology, specifically to a device for collecting fallen grape berries during the grape thinning period. Background Technology

[0002] Grape thinning is a crucial management stage in grape fruit development, primarily aimed at adjusting yield and ensuring fruit quality through fruit thinning. Thinning is typically performed twice, at different times after flowering. It involves removing excess fruit to ensure both quality and yield. Through thinning, yield can be adjusted, ensuring high production, large size, good shape, vibrant color, and rich flavor, thus improving marketability. Thinning also prevents problems such as small berries and deformities due to insufficient nutrients, and reduces the occurrence of pests and diseases.

[0003] Existing grape harvesting devices use simple collection trays to collect fallen grapes. However, the collection trays are too large to carry easily. Therefore, an improved device is proposed to address this problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for collecting fallen grape berries during the grape thinning period, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] 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.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a device for collecting fallen grape berries during the thinning period of grapes, comprising a concentrating device 3, a positioning device 2 fixedly installed at the front end of the concentrating device 3, and a receiving device 1 fixedly installed on the left side of the concentrating device 3. The receiving device 1 includes a push-button switch 4, a handle 5, a steel wire hose 6, a receiving tube 7, and a sleeve 8. The push-button switch 4 and the handle 5 are fixedly installed on the left side of the receiving tube 7, with the handle 5 located outside the push-button switch 4. The sleeve 8 is fixedly installed at the top right side of the receiving tube 7, and the steel wire hose 6 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom end of the receiving tube 7.

[0020] The positioning device 2 includes a hook 9, a strap 10, and a support frame 11. The hook 9 is fixedly installed on the bottom left side of the support frame 11, and the strap 10 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the front end of the support frame 11. The support frame 11 can be fixed to the user's waist by the strap 10.

[0021] The collection device 3 includes a turbine fan 12, a collection chamber 13, a connecting rod 14, a return spring 15, a front support plate 16, a support extension rod 17, and a sealing plate 18. The turbine fan 12 is fixedly installed at the top of the collection chamber 13, the front support plate 16 is fixedly installed at both ends of the collection chamber 13, the support extension rod 17 is fixedly installed at the rear center of the front support plate 16, the sealing plate 18 is slidably sleeved on the support extension rod 17, the return spring 15 is symmetrically fixed between the front support plate 16 and the sealing plate 18, and the connecting rod 14 is fixedly installed at both ends of the sealing plate 18. An inclined plate is installed inside the collection chamber 13 at a 45° angle, with the lowest point of the inclined plate close to the sealing plate 18. When the sealing plate 18 is no longer in contact with the collection chamber 13, the fruit can roll out of the collection chamber 13.

[0022] The support frame 11 is fixedly installed at the front end of the collection chamber 13, and the end of the steel wire hose 6 away from the receiving tube 7 is connected to the left side of the collection chamber 13 to facilitate the fruit entering the interior of the collection chamber 13.

[0023] The inside of the collection chamber 13 is hollow, and the collection chamber 13 is connected to the steel wire hose 6, which makes it easy to store the fruit inside the collection chamber 13.

[0024] The push-button switch 4 is electrically connected to the turbine fan 12, and the front ends of the two straps 10 are respectively connected to the Velcro front and back, which makes it easy for the two straps 10 to be joined together.

[0025] Working principle: In use, first move the device to the user's waist until the front end of the support frame 11 is flush against the back of the user's waist. Then wrap the straps 10 around the user's abdomen. The front end of the straps 10 is fitted with Velcro, which allows the straps 10 to be fastened together, thus securing the support frame 11 to the user's waist. Subsequently, the user can remove the handle 5 with their left hand, aligning the receiving tube 7 vertically with the bottom of the grape. The user's right hand can then operate the scissors. Cut off the fruit that needs to be removed. The fruit will then fall into the receiving tube 7. The receiving tube 7 is connected to the steel wire hose 6, allowing the fruit to enter the steel wire hose 6. Then, press the button switch 4 to start the turbine fan 12. The turbine fan 12 is connected to the collection chamber 13 via an air pipe. When the turbine fan 12 is working, a negative pressure is created inside the collection chamber 13, allowing the steel wire hose 6 to absorb the fruit and enter the collection chamber 13, completing the fruit collection. Afterward, when the receiving tube 7 is not in use, the sleeve 8 can be slidably attached to the hook 9, allowing the hook 9 to support the receiving tube 7. When a certain amount of fruit has been collected inside the collection chamber 13, the user can go to the designated dumping point and push the connecting rod 14 to the rear, allowing the sealing plate 18 to disengage from the collection chamber 13. The inclined plate installed inside the collection chamber 13 keeps the fruit tilted towards one end of the sealing plate 18 inside the collection chamber 13. When the sealing plate 18 is in contact with the collection chamber... When the contact is broken, the fruit can fall out of the collection cavity 13, completing the fruit discharge. After the fruit is discharged, the connecting rod 14 can be released. The elasticity of the return spring 15 will drive the sealing plate 18 to move quickly and fit tightly against the collection cavity 13, making it easier for the fruit to accumulate inside the collection cavity 13 again. At the same time, the sealing plate 18 slides on the support extension rod 17, which can support the sealing plate 18 to move in a straight line, improving the docking accuracy between the sealing plate 18 and the collection cavity 13, thus completing the work.

[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
