Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of Dendrobium harvesting equipment, and in particular to a harvesting device for planting Dendrobium. Background Technology
[0002] Dendrobium, a plant with significant medicinal and economic value, has seen widespread development in its artificial cultivation industry in recent years. However, while tree cultivation simulates its natural growing environment and improves the quality of Dendrobium, it also presents challenges for harvesting. Currently, traditional harvesting methods for tree-grown Dendrobium rely primarily on manual climbing. This method is not only inefficient but also poses significant safety risks. Harvesters must work at heights for extended periods, leading to fatigue and increasing the risk of falls, which seriously threaten their personal safety.
[0003] Based on this, a portable Dendrobium harvesting aid device was designed, which can be used with mountain tracks to assist operators in harvesting Dendrobium from trees, ensuring safety and effectively improving harvesting efficiency. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following will describe this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," and "outer," etc., appearing or about to appear in this document, are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.
[0023] like Figures 1-5 The harvesting device for Dendrobium officinale cultivation includes a support frame 1, a track 2, and a lifting harvesting mechanism 6. The lifting harvesting mechanism 6 is connected to the track 2 on the support frame 1 via a bottom rotating wheel 3. The lifting harvesting mechanism 6 includes a fixed support 601, a lifting platform 7, a rectangular groove 602, a guide groove 610, and a receiving groove 611. The fixed support 601 has a rectangular frame structure, and two rectangular grooves 602 are provided inside the fixed support 601. The guide groove 610 and the receiving groove 611 are provided inside the rectangular grooves 602. The lifting platform 7 is provided inside the fixed support 601, and the lifting platform 7 is movably connected to the sliding strip inside the fixed support 601 via pulleys 704 on both sides. The lifting platform 7 is connected to the drive motor 609 via a lifting chain 613.
[0024] It should be noted that the purpose of planting Dendrobium on trees is that trees can serve as a natural medium for water collection and conduction. During rainfall, rainwater flows down the trunk and branches, and Dendrobium can absorb this water flowing down the tree surface. In addition, trees themselves have a certain moisturizing effect; their bark and xylem can store a certain amount of water, which is slowly released during droughts to provide some moisture for Dendrobium. Furthermore, Dendrobium can absorb nutrients from trees. Therefore, the planting position is relatively high. For convenient transportation, our trees are designed in rows, with support brackets 1 and tracks 2 set in the middle of the trees on both sides to facilitate the transport of trolleys. However, the drawback of this planting method is that the planting position is relatively high, and traditional harvesting methods require operators to climb the trees to harvest. This method is not only cumbersome but also inefficient. Therefore, an auxiliary device was designed that can lift and lower the workers to the planting position, and the harvested Dendrobium can directly enter the receiving trough 611 through the guide trough 610, thereby improving the harvesting efficiency.
[0025] It should be further explained that a lifting platform 7 is provided on the fixed bracket 601. The receiving bracket 701 is slidably connected to the sliding strip inside the fixed bracket 601 through the pulleys 704 on both sides. Moreover, a connecting strip 703 is provided on the fixed rod 702 at the top of the receiving bracket 701 for connecting to the lifting chain 613. Driven by the drive motor 609, the entire lifting platform 7 can be lifted, which makes it easy to lift the operator to the position of Dendrobium planting and to facilitate the harvesting of fresh Dendrobium stems.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the lifting platform 7 includes a support bracket 701, a fixed rod 702, pulleys 704 and a connecting bar 703. The support bracket 701 is provided with pulleys 704 on both sides, and the support bracket 701 is provided with a fixed rod 702 and a connecting bar 703. The connecting bar 703 is fixedly connected to the lifting chain 613.
[0027] It should be noted that the support bracket 701 can be lifted with the assistance of pulleys 704 on both sides, which can achieve vertical lifting and lowering. Moreover, the support bracket 701 is provided with a standing position for the operator to facilitate lifting. The support bracket 701 is lifted and transported by drive motor 609 and lifting chain 613, thereby realizing the entire automated operation.
[0028] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a first bearing seat 603 is provided on the upper part of the fixed bracket 601, and a rotating shaft 604 is provided between the two first bearing seats 603. A first sprocket 606 on the upper part of the rotating shaft 604 is connected to the lifting chain 613. A second bearing seat is provided on the side of the fixed bracket 601, and a second sprocket 612 is provided between the two second bearing seats. The lifting chain 613 is connected to the third sprocket 614 on the drive motor 609 through the second sprocket 612.
[0029] It should be noted that one end of the lifting chain 613 is fixedly connected to the fixed rod 702, and the other end is connected to the third sprocket 614 of the drive motor through the first sprocket 606 and the second sprocket 612, so that it can be lifted under the drive of the drive motor 609.
[0030] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the guide trough 610 is a rectangular cavity structure with openings at both the top and bottom, and several feed inlets are provided on one side of the guide trough 610; a pull-out platform 615 is provided at the rectangular opening on the side of the guide trough 610, and a baffle plate is provided on the pull-out platform 615; the drive motor 609 is provided on the receiving platform 608 inside the bearing bracket 1; several rotating wheels 3 are provided at the bottom of the fixed bracket 601; the receiving groove 611 is a rectangular cavity structure with an opening at the top, and the receiving groove 611 is movably provided at the lower part of the guide trough 610.
[0031] It should be noted that, for the convenience of feeding and unloading after harvesting, we designed a guide trough 610, and multiple rectangular openings are provided in the guide trough 610 near the receiving bracket 701, so that the harvested Dendrobium can be placed into the rectangular openings and stored inside the guide trough 610 after the receiving bracket 701 is raised to different heights. In addition, a receiving trough 611 can be placed at the bottom of the guide trough 610. When it is necessary to guide the Dendrobium into the receiving trough 611, it is only necessary to open the pull-out table 615 to export the stored Dendrobium.
[0032] It should be further explained that the lifting and harvesting mechanism 6 can be connected to the transport trolley and move on the track 2 of the support frame 1, thereby realizing automated transportation. This mountain track transportation technology is an existing technology. Combined with this lifting and harvesting mechanism 6, it can harvest while moving, improving the convenience of harvesting. The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this utility model.
