Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tea picking devices, and more specifically, to a convenient tea picking device. Background Technology
[0002] In the tea planting and harvesting industry, hand-picking is an important method for obtaining high-quality tea. In traditional tea picking, pickers typically use their fingers, especially the thumb and forefinger, to pinch and break the tea leaves from the tea tree. However, this picking method has several problems that have long plagued tea pickers.
[0003] Because tea picking is a highly repetitive and long-duration task, the pickers' fingernails are easily damaged during the constant friction and pinching of tea stems and leaves, potentially leading to nail breakage, pain, or infection. This not only affects the pickers' health but also reduces their picking efficiency, as damaged nails make it difficult to continue picking effectively.
[0004] Based on this, we provide a convenient tea leaf picker. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides a convenient tea picking tool, which can prevent fingernail injury during prolonged picking and avoid the problem of tea sap seeping into the fingernails or skin and being difficult to clean. At the same time, the design can fit the fingers and reduce interference with the tea picking technique, thus not affecting the picking efficiency.
[0006] The present invention provides a convenient tea leaf picker using the following technical solution:
[0007] A portable tea leaf picker includes a thumb sleeve and an index finger sleeve. The thumb sleeve has a clamping component on its side, and the index finger sleeve has a force-bearing component on its side. The clamping component contacts the force-bearing component to pick the tea leaves, thus avoiding nail injury during prolonged picking and preventing tea sap from seeping into the nails or skin and being difficult to clean. This design also conforms to the finger, minimizing interference with the picking technique and maintaining picking efficiency.
[0008] Preferably, the clamping component includes a sleeve fixedly disposed on the side of the thumb sleeve, the top of the sleeve having a notch, a strip inserted into the inside of the sleeve, the top of the strip passing through the notch and extending to the top of the sleeve, and a clamping piece fixedly disposed on the top of the strip.
[0009] Preferably, the insert has an elastic strip inside for compressing the insert.
[0010] Preferably, the side end of the clip is constructed with one end smaller than the other.
[0011] Preferably, the force-bearing component includes a hard pad fixedly disposed on the side of the index finger sleeve, and the side of the hard pad has a notch.
[0012] Preferably, the thumb sleeve and the index finger sleeve are connected by a wire.
[0013] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0014] By wearing the index finger sleeve on the index finger and the thumb sleeve on the thumb, you can pick tea leaves using the usual method. During the picking process, the clamping part can act as the thumb nail, working in conjunction with the force-bearing part to complete the picking of tea leaves. This structural design can prevent nail injury during prolonged picking and also avoid the problem of tea sap seeping into the nail or skin and being difficult to clean. At the same time, the design can fit the finger and reduce interference with the tea picking technique, thus not affecting the picking efficiency.
[0015] The above overview is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to be limiting in any way. In addition to the illustrative aspects, embodiments, and features described above, further aspects, embodiments, and features of the invention will become readily apparent from the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description.

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 5 The present invention will be described in further detail below.
[0023] It should be noted that the accompanying drawings are schematic and not to scale. For clarity and convenience, the relative dimensions and proportions of the parts shown are exaggerated or reduced in size; all dimensions are merely illustrative and not limiting. Furthermore, the same reference numerals are used for the same structures, elements, or fittings appearing in more than two drawings to indicate similar features.
[0024] This utility model discloses a portable tea leaf picker. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 5 A convenient tea leaf picker includes a thumb sleeve 1 and an index finger sleeve 2; the thumb sleeve 1 has a clamping component on its side, and the index finger sleeve 2 has a force-bearing component on its side. The clamping component contacts the force-bearing component to pick the tea leaves.
[0025] Specifically, the thumb sleeve 1 and the index finger sleeve 2 can be made of rubber, elastic band, or PE material.
[0026] By wearing index finger sleeve 2 on the index finger and thumb sleeve 1 on the thumb, the tea leaves can be picked using the usual method. During the picking process, the clamping part can act as the thumb nail, cooperating with the force-bearing part to complete the picking of tea leaves. Through this structural design, the nail can be prevented from being injured during long-term picking, and the problem of tea sap seeping into the nail or skin and being difficult to clean can also be avoided. At the same time, the design can fit the finger, which can reduce interference with the tea picking method, that is, it does not affect the picking efficiency.
[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the clamping component includes a sleeve 3 fixedly disposed on the side of the thumb sleeve 1. A notch 4 is provided at the top of the sleeve 3. An insert 5 is inserted into the inside of the sleeve 3. The top of the insert 5 passes through the notch 4 and extends to the top of the sleeve 3. A clamping piece 6 is fixedly disposed at the top of the insert 5.
[0028] The clamping piece is used by inserting the insert 5 into the insert sleeve 3, so that the clamping piece 6 is placed on the thumb. Thus, the clamping piece 6 can simulate a fingernail to complete the picking of tea leaves.
[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, the sleeve 3 has an elastic strip 7 inside for pressing the insert 5. By setting the elastic strip 7, the stability of the insert 5 in the sleeve 3 can be increased.
[0030] like Figure 1As shown, the side end of the clip 6 is designed to be smaller at one end and larger at the other. This design allows for the replacement of the end of the clip 6 according to individual usage habits and finger size.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the force-bearing component includes a hard pad 8 fixedly installed on the side of the index finger sleeve 2. The hard pad 8 has a notch 9 on its side. By setting the hard pad 8, it is convenient to break the tea leaves and avoid injuring the index finger.

The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the existing technology. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the existing technology, which will not be described in detail here.
[0036] The implementation principle of this utility model embodiment of a convenient tea leaf picker is as follows: by wearing the index finger sleeve 2 on the index finger and the thumb sleeve 1 on the thumb, the tea leaves can be picked using conventional methods. During the picking process, the clamping part can act as the thumb nail, cooperating with the force-bearing part to complete the picking of tea leaves. Through this structural design, the nail can be avoided from being injured during long-term picking, and the problem of tea sap seeping into the nail or skin and being difficult to clean can also be avoided. At the same time, this design can fit the finger, which can reduce interference with the tea leaf picking method, that is, it does not affect the picking efficiency.
[0037] The clamping piece is used by inserting the insert 5 into the insert sleeve 3 so that the clamping piece 6 is placed on the thumb. Thus, the clamping piece 6 can simulate a fingernail to complete the picking of tea leaves.
