Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fruit tree harvesting and storage technology, and in particular relates to a fruit tree harvesting device. Background Technology

[0002] The process of harvesting ripe fruit is a labor-intensive step in fruit production. Fresh fruits are mostly harvested by hand, and timely and proper harvesting has a significant impact on the yield, quality, storage, transportation, processing, and market supply of the fruit in the current and following year.

[0003] Existing fruit harvesting equipment harvests fruit by mechanical vibration or manual beating. Mechanical harvesting is suitable for large-scale picking during the fruit ripening season, but it cannot avoid problems such as collisions, bruising, and inconsistent ripeness between fruits. When picking manually, it is necessary to use scissors to cut the fruit stems, which reduces harvesting efficiency. In addition, the centralized collection of harvested fruits increases the intensity of manual labor and is not convenient for direct packaging and storage. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to reduce the steps of manual fruit harvesting, and to directly package and store the selected and harvested fruits, thereby improving the convenience of manual fruit harvesting and fruit preservation.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a fruit harvesting device for fruit trees, including a base, a supporting cylinder, a limiting and protective component, a shielding component, and a top cover. The supporting cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper part of the base and forms a storage cavity between the supporting cylinder and the base. The limiting and protective component is fixedly connected inside the storage cavity for limiting and buffering the fruit. An adjustment groove is opened on the side wall of the supporting cylinder, and a cutting groove is opened on the inner side wall of the adjustment groove. When the fruit enters the storage cavity, the fruit stalk moves along the adjustment groove and is cut off by the cutting groove. The shielding component is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the supporting cylinder for sealing the adjustment groove and the cutting groove. The top cover is threadedly connected to the upper part of the supporting cylinder.

[0006] Furthermore, the adjusting groove extends along the height direction of the supporting cylinder and is connected to the upper opening of the supporting cylinder. The cutting groove is arranged at uniform intervals along the length direction of the adjusting groove. The cutting groove is V-shaped and has a cutting blade at the corner of the cutting groove near the storage cavity.

[0007] Furthermore, the limiting and protective assembly includes a limiting column and a buffer pad. The limiting column is fixedly connected to the storage cavity and is arranged in a ring-shaped interval along the inner wall of the support cylinder. The buffer pad is fixedly connected to the upper wall of the base and is located inside the storage cavity.

[0008] Furthermore, a buffer cavity is formed between the buffer pad and the base, and the buffer cavity is connected to the limiting column.

[0009] Furthermore, the shielding assembly includes a connecting ring and a baffle. The connecting ring is sleeved on the outer wall of the support cylinder and located below the support cylinder, and contacts the upper wall of the base. The baffle is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the connecting ring and extends along the height direction of the support cylinder, and is limited and fixed by the bottom end of the upper cover that is threaded to the upper part of the support cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, a stop bar is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support cylinder on the side away from the adjustment groove.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model after adopting the above structure are as follows: It integrates the cutting of fruit stalks and the packaging of fruit during manual fruit harvesting, reducing manual harvesting steps and improving harvesting efficiency. Utilizing the advantages of manual selection, it harvests and stores fruits of similar maturity, facilitating fruit transportation. The fruit is placed inside the storage cavity through the upper opening of the support cylinder, while the fruit stalk slides along the adjustment groove. After the fruit slides to the corresponding position, the support cylinder is rotated, and the cutting blade inside the cutting groove cuts off the fruit stalk, allowing the fruit to be stored in the storage cavity. The limiting and protective components inside the storage cavity wrap and limit the fruit. After the fruits are arranged sequentially in the storage cavity, the connecting ring and baffle are rotated, causing the baffle to cover the adjustment groove and cutting groove. Finally, the upper cover is fastened and tightened, fitting snugly against the upper part of the baffle for limitation, thus realizing fruit harvesting and storage. Attached Figure Description

[0019] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a fruit harvesting device includes a base 1, a supporting cylinder 2, a limiting and protective component 3, a blocking component 4, and a top cover 5. The supporting cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the base 1, forming a storage cavity 6 between the cylinder and the base 1. The limiting and protective component 3 is fixedly connected inside the storage cavity 6 for limiting and buffering the fruit. An adjustment groove 7 is opened on the side wall of the supporting cylinder 2, and a cutting groove 8 is opened on the inner side wall of the adjustment groove 7. When the fruit enters the storage cavity 6, the fruit stalk moves along the adjustment groove 7 and is cut off by the cutting groove 8. The blocking component 4 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the supporting cylinder 2 for sealing the adjustment groove 7 and the cutting groove 8. The top cover 5 is threadedly connected to the upper part of the supporting cylinder 2. A stop bar 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the supporting cylinder 2 on the side away from the adjustment groove 7. The adjustment groove 7 moves along the side of the supporting cylinder 2. Extending vertically and connected to the upper opening of the support cylinder 2, the cutting grooves 8 are evenly spaced along the length of the adjustment groove 7. The cutting grooves 8 are V-shaped, and the corner of the cutting groove 8 near the storage cavity 6 is provided with a cutting blade 9. When harvesting, the harvester holds the stop bar 15, opens the top cover 5, rotates the shielding component 4 to expose the adjustment groove 7, and uses the stop bar 15 to limit the shielding component 4. The fruit enters the storage cavity 6 through the upper opening of the support cylinder 2, and at the same time, the fruit stem slides along the adjustment groove 7. After the fruit slides to the corresponding position in the storage cavity 6, the support cylinder 2 is rotated, and the cutting blade 9 inside the cutting groove 8 is used to cut and separate the fruit from the fruit tree. The limiting and protective component 3 inside the storage cavity 6 limits the fruit and realizes the storage of the fruit after harvesting.

[0020] like Figure 3-5 As shown, in order to limit and protect the harvested fruit, the limiting and protective component 3 includes limiting columns 10 and buffer pads 11. The limiting columns 10 are fixedly connected to the storage cavity 6 and are arranged in a ring at intervals along the inner wall of the support cylinder 2. The buffer pads 11 are fixedly connected to the upper wall of the base 1 and are located in the storage cavity 6. A buffer cavity 12 is formed between the buffer pads 11 and the base 1. The buffer cavity 12 is connected to the limiting columns 10. When the fruit enters the storage cavity 6, it comes into contact with multiple limiting columns 10. The limiting columns 10 clamp the outer periphery of the fruit. The buffer pads 11 support the fruit at the bottom of the support cylinder 2. At the same time, the buffer cavity 12 is connected to multiple limiting columns 10. When the fruit presses down on the buffer pads 11, the gas inside the buffer cavity 12 enters the limiting columns 10, increasing the wrapping effect on the outer periphery of the fruit and improving the protection and limiting effect.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, to facilitate harvesting and transportation, the adjusting groove 7 and the cutting groove 8 are covered and exposed respectively. The covering component 4 includes a connecting ring 13 and a baffle 14. The connecting ring 13 is sleeved on the outer wall of the support cylinder 2 and is located below the support cylinder 2 and in contact with the upper wall of the base 1. The baffle 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the connecting ring 13 and extends along the height direction of the support cylinder 2. It is fixed by the bottom end of the upper cover 5 which is threaded to the upper part of the support cylinder 2. The connecting ring 13 rotates on the bottom outer wall of the support cylinder 2, which drives the baffle 14 to rotate and move. During harvesting, the adjusting groove 7 and the cutting groove 8 are exposed. During storage, the adjusting groove 7 and the cutting groove 8 are covered. When the upper cover 5 is tightened, the bottom end of the upper cover 5 contacts the upper part of the baffle 14, which limits the baffle 14 and prevents the baffle 14 from rotating, thereby improving the covering stability of the baffle 14.

[0022] In practical use, when picking fruit from the fruit tree, the picker removes the top cover 5, rotates the connecting ring 13 to shift the baffle 14 at an angle, exposing the adjustment groove 7 and the cutting groove 8. Holding the baffle 15, the picker tilts or lays the support cylinder 2 horizontally, and places it over the fruit through the opening of the support cylinder 2, allowing the fruit to slide in the storage cavity 6. The fruit stem moves in the adjustment groove 7, and the cutting blade 9 inside the cutting groove 8 is used to cut the fruit stem, separating the fruit from the fruit tree and achieving fruit storage after picking.

[0023] At the same time, the fruit enters the storage cavity 6 and comes into contact with multiple limiting columns 10. The limiting columns 10 clamp the fruit's outer perimeter. The buffer pad 11 supports the fruit at the bottom of the support cylinder 2. Meanwhile, the buffer cavity 12 is connected to multiple limiting columns 10. When the fruit presses down on the buffer pad 11, the gas inside the buffer cavity 12 enters the limiting columns 10, increasing the wrapping effect on the fruit's outer perimeter.

[0024] When the harvested fruits are arranged in the storage chambers 6 inside the support cylinder 2, the connecting ring 13 is rotated again to make the baffle 14 cover the adjustment groove 7 and the cutting groove 8, and the upper cover 5 is fastened and tightened. The bottom end of the upper cover 5 contacts the upper part of the baffle 14, which limits the position of the baffle 14, stores the fruits, and facilitates the transportation of the fruits.

[0025] 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. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art, inspired by this description, design similar structural methods and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
