Technical Field
[0001] This utility model is specifically a device for picking peony petals, which relates to the field of peony deep processing technology. Background Technology
[0002] The petals of Danfeng peony not only have a natural fragrance but also possess excellent medicinal properties. In recent years, Danfeng peony cultivation has been achieved on a large scale, and its petals are widely used as a raw material in the production of peony flower cakes and other food products.
[0003] Freshly picked Danfeng peony flowers contain petals, stems, and stamens, requiring the petals to be individually removed from the flower. Currently, due to a lack of specialized equipment, the petals must be picked manually, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also increases harvesting costs. Utility Model Content

[0007] Further improve the technical solution: The floating roller consists of a driven roller, a sliding column, a sliding sleeve and a compression spring. The driven roller is mounted on the sliding column, the sliding column and the sliding sleeve are in sliding fit, the sliding sleeve is fixed in the hollow cone, and the compression spring acts between the sliding column and the sliding sleeve.
[0008] Further improve the technical solution: The drive roller is connected to the motor via a belt drive pair, and the motor is used to drive the drive roller to rotate.
[0009] Further improve the technical solution: install a screen at the bottom of the box to remove debris.
[0010] Further technical improvements: Wheels are installed at the bottom of the box.
[0011] Further improve the technical solution: a flower stem outlet is provided at the bottom of the hollow cone.
[0012] After implementing the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model compared to the prior art are:
[0013] This Danfeng peony petal picking device is easy to operate. Simply insert the picked peony flower into the insertion tube, and the petals will be automatically picked from the base. This not only ensures the integrity of the petals but also saves time and effort, significantly reducing the cost of petal picking.
[0014] This utility model is easy to use and can be used in conjunction with peony flower harvesting. Attached Figure Description

[0020] A device for picking peony petals, belonging to the field of peony deep processing, is disclosed, mainly to solve the problem of high cost of manual peony petal picking in existing technologies. The composition and working principle of this peony petal picking device are described in detail below.
[0021] See attached document Figure 1 The peony petal picking device includes a box 1 for holding peony petals, and a hollow cone 2 inside the box 1 with the cone head facing upwards. The cone head has a circular cutting edge, and an insertion tube 3 for inserting into the peony flower stem is provided inside the cone head.
[0022] See attached document Figure 2 Inside the hollow cone 2, there are active rollers 4 and floating rollers 5. The active rollers 4 and floating rollers 5 are arranged opposite each other to clamp the flower stem of the peony and pull the flower stem and stamen of the peony downward from the insertion tube 3.
[0023] Specifically, the floating roller 5 consists of a driven roller 51, a sliding column 52, a sliding sleeve 53, and a compression spring. The driven roller 51 is mounted on the sliding column 52, and the sliding column 52 slides in conjunction with the sliding sleeve 53. The sliding sleeve 53 is fixed inside the hollow cone 2, and the compression spring acts between the sliding column 52 and the sliding sleeve 53. During operation, the driven roller 51 and the sliding column 52 can slide left and right within the sliding sleeve 53. The floating roller 5 has two functions: first, it clamps the peony flower stem with the force of the compression spring; second, since the peony flower stems vary in thickness, the floating roller 5 can move laterally to adapt to the thickness of the flower stem, always keeping the flower stem between the driving roller 4 and the floating roller 5.
[0024] The drive roller 4 is connected to the motor 7 via the belt drive pair 6, and the motor 7 is used to drive the drive roller 4 to rotate counterclockwise.
[0025] See attached document Figure 3 Peony flowers have stems, stamens, and petals. The petals are spread out, and the stems and stamens are basically coaxial. Peonies are harvested using scissors, leaving a certain length of stem attached. During operation, the harvested peony stem is inserted into the insertion tube 3. The lower part of the stem enters between the active roller 4 and the floating roller 5, and is clamped between them by a compression spring. Since the active roller 4 rotates counterclockwise, it pulls the stem downwards, causing the cutting edge of the hollow cone 2 to cut the base of the petals, scraping the petals off the peony flower. The scraped petals fall into the housing 1.
[0026] Further technical improvement: A screen 8 for filtering out debris is installed at the bottom of the box 1. During the process of scraping off the petals with the cone head, some stamens and debris will also fall into the box 1. The screen 8 at the bottom of the box 1 can filter out the stamens and debris.
[0027] Further technical improvements: Wheels 9 are installed at the bottom of the box 1. This Danfeng peony petal picking device is used in conjunction with harvesting, and the wheels 9 facilitate movement in the field.
[0028] Further improve the technical solution: A flower stem outlet is provided at the bottom of the hollow cone 2, so that the flower stems after the petals are peeled off fall into the field, which is conducive to the return of organic matter to the field and improves the organic matter in the soil.
[0029] In summary, this Danfeng peony petal picking device only requires inserting the picked peony flower into the insertion tube 3 to automatically pick the petals from the base. This not only ensures the integrity of the petals but also saves time and effort, significantly reducing the cost of petal picking.
[0030] It is worth noting that the content not described in detail in the above embodiments is prior art. It is also worth noting that any additions, subtractions, substitutions, and improvements made by those skilled in the art based on the structure and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
