[0024] Referring to Figures 1-5 A pomegranate planting and picking device, comprising a mounting ring 1 and a net bag 2, the open end of the net bag 2 is provided with a draw rope 202 for fixing with the mounting ring 1, a plurality of teeth 3 are equidistantly installed on the mounting ring 1, for grabbing the pomegranate fruit stem and helping the pomegranate to separate from the branch, the inner wall of the side of the mounting ring 1 away from the teeth 3 has a limiting table 101 extending to the center, the limiting table 101 is fixedly installed with symmetrically arranged limiting pins 102, for fixing the opening of the net bag 2, to ensure that the open end of the net bag 2 can be stably positioned, preventing displacement or falling off during use, further comprising an extension plate 4 symmetrically installed on the mounting ring 1, providing additional structural support, and symmetrically arranged support rods 5 rotatably installed between the symmetrically arranged extension plates 4, for supporting the bottom of the net bag 2, keeping its shape stable, ensuring that the pomegranate will not deform or fall off the net bag 2 due to gravity after falling into the net bag 2, wherein a handle 10 is threadedly installed on one side of the extension plate 4, and the opening and closing of the symmetrically arranged support rods 5 is controlled by the linkage mechanism 6 on the handle 10.

[0025] After the user aims the picker at the target pomegranate, the pomegranate is placed in the net bag 2, the teeth 3 are in contact with the pomegranate stem, and a slight push can make the pomegranate separate from the branch and fall into the net bag 2. When the net bag 2 is full of pomegranates, the user pulls the two symmetrical support rods 5 outward through the linkage mechanism 6, and the net bag 2 loses support and closes the opening of the net bag 2 through the drawstring 202 under the weight of the pomegranates, preventing the pomegranates from falling.

[0026] The opening end of the net bag 2 is bent outward and sewn with the bag body to form a ring cavity 201, which surrounds the entire opening edge and provides a hidden channel for accommodating the drawstring 202. The drawstring 202 is installed in the ring cavity 201, and the net bag 2 has a through hole 203 that penetrates the ring cavity 201. The position and size of the through hole 203 are designed to ensure that the drawstring 202 can pass through smoothly without affecting the overall structure or strength of the net bag 2. The drawstring 202 is sleeved on the limit pin 102 through the through hole 203, and the opening of the net bag 2 is controlled by tightening or loosening.

[0027] Before starting picking, the drawstring 202 is in a relaxed state, and the opening of the net bag 2 is fully open to facilitate the entry of pomegranates. The user aims the picker at the target pomegranate and uses the teeth 3 to separate it from the branch. The separated pomegranate falls into the net bag 2. Then, the user pulls the two symmetrical support rods 5 outward through the linkage mechanism 6, and the net bag 2 loses support and closes the opening of the net bag 2 through the drawstring 202 under the weight of the pomegranates, ensuring that the pomegranates are safely left in the net bag 2. After completing a batch of picking, the user can loosen the drawstring 202 by disconnecting it from the limit pin 102, loosen the drawstring 202, and then open the opening of the net bag 2. Then, the user can easily remove the pomegranates and prepare for the next round of picking, avoiding the risk of accidental falling of the pomegranates during transfer.
