AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing fruit pickers are prone to instability during adjustment due to wear on the threaded connections, which affects picking efficiency.

Method used

The adjustment mechanism employs a limiting hole, a limiting rod, a pressure plate, a rotating shaft, a torsion spring, and a triangular plate. By pressing the pressure plate, the triangular plate rotates, compressing the torsion spring to generate potential energy, causing the limiting rod to separate from the limiting hole, thus realizing the movement adjustment of the fixed rod. The torsion spring then resets the rod to achieve stability.

Benefits of technology

It enables flexible adjustment and stabilization of fruits of different heights, improving the stability and efficiency of the harvester.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit pickers, specifically an adaptable and adjustable fruit picker. Background Technology

[0002] Fruits need to be harvested after they have grown and ripened, usually using a harvester.

[0003] Currently, harvesters are needed to pick ripe fruits. However, since fruits vary in height and size, the length of the harvester needs to be adjusted. Existing adjustments are generally made by threaded connection between two fixed rods. However, after prolonged rotation, the threads may wear down, leading to instability after adjustment and reduced harvesting efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an adaptable and adjustable fruit picker to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an adaptable and adjustable fruit picker, including a picking head, a fixing rod fixedly provided on one side of the picking head, a fixing tube slidably connected to the outer ring of the fixing rod, and a fixing frame fixedly installed at one end of the fixing tube;

[0006] One side of the fixing frame is provided with an adjustment mechanism, which includes a limiting hole, a limiting rod, a pressure plate, a rotating shaft, a torsion spring, and a triangular plate. The outer ring of the fixing rod has multiple limiting holes. The inner wall of the fixing frame is fixedly installed with a rotating shaft. The outer ring of the rotating shaft is fixedly rotatably connected to two triangular plates. The top of each of the two triangular plates is fixedly installed with a pressure plate. The bottom of the pressure plate is fixedly installed with a limiting rod that matches the limiting hole. A torsion spring is sleeved in the middle of the outer ring of the rotating shaft. The two ends of the torsion spring are respectively connected to the fixing frame and the pressure plate.

[0007] In one example, the outer ring of the picking head has multiple slots, and a storage bag is fixedly provided at the bottom of the picking head.

[0008] In one example, a fixing plate is fixedly installed on one side of the picking head, and a connecting rod is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing plate.

[0009] In one example, the end of the connecting rod away from the fixing plate is threaded to one end of the fixing rod.

[0010] In one example, a fixing head is fixedly installed at one end of the fixing tube, and the fixing head blocks one end of the fixing tube.

[0011] The adaptable fruit picker proposed in this utility model can bring the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This adjustable fruit picker, by pressing the pressure plate, drives the triangular plate to rotate around the pivot, and can compress the torsion spring to generate potential energy, which can drive the limiting rod to move and separate from the limiting hole. When separated from the limiting hole, the fixing rod can be moved in the fixing tube, thereby adjusting the picking head to pick fruits of different heights.

[0013] 2. This type of adaptable and adjustable fruit picker will perform a reset action under the action of potential energy through the torsion spring, and the limit rod will perform a reset action through the pressure plate. When the limit rod is engaged with the limit hole, it will stabilize the fixed rod after adjustment, thereby stabilizing the adjusted picking head. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To more clearly illustrate the overall concept of this utility model, a detailed description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model proposes an adaptable and adjustable fruit picker, including a picking head 1, a fixing rod 5 fixedly provided on one side of the picking head 1, a fixing tube 13 slidably connected to the outer ring of the fixing rod 5, and a fixing frame 12 fixedly installed at one end of the fixing tube 13.

[0022] An adjustment mechanism is provided on one side of the fixed frame 12, and the adjustment mechanism includes a limiting hole 6, a limiting rod 7, a pressure plate 8, a rotating shaft 9, a torsion spring 10, and a triangular plate 11. The outer ring of the fixed rod 5 has multiple limiting holes 6. The inner wall of the fixed frame 12 is fixedly installed with a rotating shaft 9. The outer ring of the rotating shaft 9 is fixedly rotatably connected to two triangular plates 11. The top of each of the two triangular plates 11 is fixedly installed with a pressure plate 8. The bottom of the pressure plate 8 is fixedly installed with a limiting rod 7 that matches the limiting hole 6. The middle of the outer ring of the rotating shaft 9 is fitted with a torsion spring 10. The two ends of the torsion spring 10 are respectively connected to the fixed frame 12 and the pressure plate 8.

[0023] Specifically, the outer ring of the picking head 1 has multiple slots 15, and the bottom of the picking head 1 is fixed with a storage bag 2. The picking head 1 is used to pick the fruit, the storage bag 2 is used to store the picked fruit, and the slots 15 are used to lock the fruit branches.

[0024] Specifically, a fixing plate 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the picking head 1, and a connecting rod 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing plate 3. The connecting rod 4 is fixed by the fixing plate 3, and the connecting rod 4 is fixed to the fixing rod 5, which in turn fixes the picking head 1.

[0025] Specifically, the end of the connecting rod 4 away from the fixing plate 3 is threadedly connected to one end of the fixing rod 5, and the connecting rod 4 is fixed by the fixing rod 5.

[0026] Specifically, a fixing head 14 is fixedly installed at one end of the fixing tube 13, and the fixing head 14 seals one end of the fixing tube 13. The fixing tube 13 fixes the fixing frame 12 and the fixing head 14 respectively, and the fixing head 14 seals the bottom end of the fixing tube 13.

[0027] Working principle: When the picking head 1 needs adjustment, the pressure plate 8 is pressed to make the triangular plate 11 rotate around the rotating shaft 9, which will drive the limiting rod 7 to move. When the limiting rod 7 separates from the limiting hole 6, the fixing rod 5 is moved upward in the fixing tube 13, and the picking head 1 is moved through the connecting rod 4 and the fixing plate 3 to adjust the picking head 1. After the adjustment is completed, the torsion spring 10 will perform a reset movement under the action of potential energy, and drive the pressure plate 8 to perform a reset action, which will drive the limiting rod 7 to perform a reset movement. When the limiting rod 7 continues to engage with the limiting hole 6, the fixed rod 5 after adjustment can be stabilized, and the picking head 1 can be stabilized, which facilitates the subsequent harvesting of fruit.
