[0002] In the process of picking kiwi fruits, the traditional picking method mostly relies on manual picking with hands. When facing kiwi fruits at a high position, the picking personnel need to use a ladder or other auxiliary tools, which is not only inefficient but also has certain safety risks. In addition, manual picking is easy to cause damage to the kiwi fruit, affecting the quality and subsequent storage of the fruit. Some existing picking tools have complex structures and are inconvenient to operate, and are difficult to adapt to the picking requirements of kiwi fruits at different growth environments and positions in orchards. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a device with a simple structure, convenient operation and high efficiency for picking kiwi fruits. SUMMARY

[0003] To solve the problems in the background art, the utility model provides a kiwi fruit picking device, aiming to solve the problems of low efficiency, easy damage to fruits and the deficiencies of existing picking tools in traditional kiwi fruit picking, and realize safe, efficient and convenient kiwi fruit picking.

The arrangement of the tension spring enables the handle to automatically reset without external force, facilitating continuous operation of the operator. A second large outer pipe is movably arranged on the handle, and a second inner pipe is arranged on the second large outer pipe and limited by a telescopic adjusting screw. By adjusting the telescopic adjusting screw, the extension length of the second inner pipe in the second large outer pipe can be changed, so as to adjust the working length of the whole picking device to adapt to the picking requirements of kiwi fruits at different heights.

[0006] The cutting assembly comprises a mounting seat movably arranged on the first inner pipe, a switch button and a battery mounted on the first large outer pipe. A motor is mounted on the mounting seat, and a cutter is fixedly arranged on the output shaft of the motor. The mounting seat is movably connected with the second inner pipe, and when the handle is operated, the mounting seat is moved by the second inner pipe, so that the cutter approaches the kiwi fruit. When the switch button is pressed, the battery supplies power to the motor to drive the cutter to rotate, thereby cutting the kiwi fruit stem. The storage bag is used to receive the fruit after the kiwi fruit is cut, so as to avoid damage to the fruit caused by falling.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages that:

[0008] Convenient operation: through simple push-pull handle operation, the cutting assembly can be driven to approach the kiwi fruit, and the cutter is controlled to cut through the switch button, so that the operation is easy and labor-saving, and the labor intensity of the picking personnel is reduced.

[0030] The push-pull assembly 3 comprises a handle 31 movably arranged on the first outer pipe 1, a tension spring 32 arranged between the handle 31 and the first outer pipe 1, a second outer pipe 33 movably arranged on the handle 31, a second inner pipe 34 arranged on the second outer pipe 33, and a telescopic adjusting screw 35 arranged between the second outer pipe 33 and the second inner pipe 34 for limiting.

[0031] The cutting assembly 4 comprises a mounting seat 41 movably arranged on the first inner pipe 11, a switch button 42 and a battery 43 mounted on the first outer pipe 1, a motor 44 mounted on the mounting seat 41, a cutter 45 fixedly arranged on an output shaft of the motor 44, and the mounting seat 41 movably connected with the second inner pipe 34.

[0032] The cutting assembly 4 further comprises a controller connected with the normally open switch button 42 through a wire, connected with the battery 43 through a power line, and connected with the motor 44 through a control signal line and a power line; when the switch button 42 is pressed, the internal contact is closed to send an electrical signal to the controller, and the controller is turned on after receiving the signal; the battery 43 supplies power to the controller, and the controller monitors the power information of the battery 43 in real time; the controller sends control instructions to the motor 44 through the control signal line to adjust the rotating speed and direction of the motor 44, and the power line provides the motor 44 with power required for working; the controller is internally provided with a signal processing module, a power management module and a motor driving module, the signal processing module is used for receiving and processing the signal of the switch button 42, the power management module is used for managing the power supply and power monitoring of the battery 43, and the motor driving module controls the operation of the motor 44 according to the instruction of the signal processing module; the modules are connected through an internal bus for data transmission.

[0033] The two ends of the tension spring 32 are firmly connected to the handle 31 and the first large outer tube 1 respectively, and the elastic coefficient of the tension spring 32 meets the requirements that the handle 31 can be easily pulled and quickly reset.

[0034] The telescopic adjusting screw 35 is threadedly connected with the second large outer tube 33 and cooperates with the limiting hole on the second inner tube 34, so that the fixed and adjusted length of the second inner tube 34 is realized by tightening or loosening the telescopic adjusting screw 35.

[0035] The mounting seat 41 is movably connected with the second inner tube 34 through a pin shaft or a universal joint, so that the mounting seat 41 can be flexibly moved to accurately align the cutting knife 45 with the kiwi fruit stem.

[0036] The storage bag 2 is made of soft, breathable and elastic material, and the bag opening is provided with an elastic closing opening or an adjustable closing opening device to prevent the kiwi fruit from falling during the receiving process.

[0037] Device preparation: according to the height of the kiwi tree, the telescopic adjusting screw 35 is adjusted to make the second inner tube 34 extend from the second large outer tube 33 by a proper length to ensure that the kiwi fruit to be picked can be smoothly contacted. Check whether the battery 43 has sufficient power to ensure that the motor 44 can work normally.

[0038] Picking operation: the operator holds the handle 31 and stretches the picking device to the position of the kiwi fruit. The handle 31 is pulled, the tension spring 32 is stretched, the handle 31 drives the second large outer tube 33 and the second inner tube 34 to move, and then the mounting seat 41 and the cutting knife 45 approach the kiwi fruit stem. When the cutting knife 45 is aligned with the stem, the switch button 42 is pressed, the motor 44 is started, the cutting knife 45 rotates at high speed, and the stem is cut off. After cutting, the handle 31 is loosened, and the handle 31 is reset under the action of the tension spring 32, and the storage bag 2 receives the falling kiwi fruit.

[0039] Device storage: after the picking work is finished, the switch button 42 is closed, and the device is cleaned. If it needs to be stored for a long time, the second inner tube 34 can be retracted into the second large outer tube 33, and the telescopic adjusting screw 35 is tightened, so as to be stored and used next time.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that: the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, it still can modify the technical scheme recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part of the technical features.
