Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of broccoli harvesting technology, specifically a broccoli harvesting tool. Background Technology

[0002] Broccoli, also known as green cauliflower, Roman cauliflower, or simply broccoli, is an annual or biennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Brassica in the family Brassicaceae. It has a large taproot base and a well-developed root system, with the main root system distributed within the top 30 cm of soil. Broccoli stems are relatively short, and axillary buds do not sprout from the stem. The plant typically grows to a height of 40-90 cm. Once the broccoli is mature, the flower stalks are cut off.

[0003] Currently, most broccoli harvesting still uses knives. This involves holding the florets with one hand and using the knife in the other to cut the stem. However, these knives are often single-blade, meaning they can only cut on one side of the stem. The stem's outer layer, a relatively hard protective layer, hinders the blade's penetration, making cutting the stem difficult with a single blade. Therefore, we propose a broccoli harvesting tool. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing broccoli harvesting tools, which use a single blade and are inconvenient for cutting the florets, this invention provides a broccoli harvesting tool with a double-blade structure. When cutting the florets, the florets can be placed between the two blades, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: A broccoli harvesting tool includes a first strip-shaped handle and a second strip-shaped handle. One end of the first strip-shaped handle has a strip-shaped opening extending towards its center. The second strip-shaped handle is placed above the first strip-shaped handle and is slidably connected to the strip-shaped opening via a slider. A first blade is connected to one side of the end of the second strip-shaped handle, and a second blade is provided on the side of the first strip-shaped handle below the first blade. An elastic component connected to the slider is provided at the end of the strip-shaped opening away from its opening. Under the push of the elastic component, the slider stops at the opening of the strip-shaped opening, at which time the first blade and the second blade open to form a cutting slit. A pushing mechanism is provided at the end of the second strip-shaped handle and the end of the first strip-shaped handle away from the first blade.

[0006] Preferably, the slider includes a slide seat that is movably placed inside the strip-shaped opening, a limiting plate is provided at the bottom of the slide seat, and the top of the slide seat is connected to the second strip-shaped handle. The limiting plate and the second strip-shaped handle are respectively clearance-fitted with the first strip-shaped handle.

[0007] Preferably, a stop is detachably provided at the opening of the strip-shaped opening.

[0008] Preferably, the elastic component includes a guide shaft mounted on the end of the slide away from the stop, a spring sleeved on the guide shaft, and the end of the guide shaft away from the slide being movably placed inside a guide seat, which is located at the bottom of the first strip-shaped tool holder.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom end of the first strip-shaped tool holder away from the slide is provided with a strip groove communicating with the strip opening; the guide shaft is located inside the strip opening, the guide seat is installed in the strip groove, and the end of the guide shaft away from the slide is located in the strip groove.

[0010] Preferably, the booster mechanism includes limiting protrusions respectively disposed at the top of the end of the second strip-shaped handle and the first strip-shaped handle away from the first blade, pushing the limiting protrusion on the second strip-shaped handle to slide along the strip opening, so that the first blade and the second blade are closed.

[0011] Preferably, the booster mechanism includes handles respectively disposed at the top of the second strip-shaped handle and the end of the first strip-shaped handle away from the first blade; there is a certain gap between the two handles, the size of which matches the cutting opening, and when the two handles are closed, the first blade and the second blade are closed.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model is simple to operate and convenient to use. The operator holds the first strip-shaped handle, places the cutting edge between the first and second blades on the flower stem, and then slides the second strip-shaped handle to move the first blade towards the second blade, so that the first and second blades can cut the flower stem.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to its embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a broccoli harvesting tool, including a first strip-shaped handle 1 and a second strip-shaped handle 5, the second strip-shaped handle 5 being positioned above the first strip-shaped handle 1, one end of the first strip-shaped handle 1 having a strip-shaped opening 11 extending towards its center, and the second strip-shaped handle 5 being slidably connected to the strip-shaped opening 11 via a slider. Figure 4 As shown, the slider includes a slide block 13 that is movably placed within the slot 11. A limiting plate 14 is provided at the bottom of the slide block 13. The top of the slide block 13 is connected to the second strip-shaped tool holder 5. The limiting plate 14 and the second strip-shaped tool holder 5 are respectively fitted with the first strip-shaped tool holder 1 with clearance. The size of the limiting plate 14 is greater than the width of the slot 11, allowing the two sides of the slot 11 to be positioned within the groove formed between the limiting plate 14 and the second strip-shaped tool holder 5 (e.g., ...). Figure 5 Within the area indicated by the middle arrow A;

[0022] The slide 13 has a long, narrow shape to maximize the contact area between the slide 13 and the inner wall of the slot 11, making the slide more stable and preventing it from wobbling. However, to prevent the slide 13 from detaching from the slot 11, as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a stop 4 is detachably provided at the opening of the strip-shaped opening 11. Screw holes are provided at both ends of the stop 4 and on both sides of the end of the strip-shaped opening 11, and bolts are provided in the screw holes.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first blade 6 is connected to one side of the end of the second strip-shaped handle 5, and a second blade 7 is provided on the side of the first strip-shaped handle 1 below the first blade 6, with a clearance fit between the second blades 7 below the first blade 6. Figure 3As shown, an elastic component connected to the slider is provided at the end of the strip-shaped opening 11 away from its opening. The specific structure of the elastic component includes a guide shaft 9 installed at the end of the slide block 13 away from the stop 4. A spring 12 is sleeved on the guide shaft 9. The end of the guide shaft 9 away from the slide block 13 is movably placed in a guide seat 10. The guide seat 10 is located at the bottom of the first strip-shaped tool holder 1. For example... Figure 3 As shown, a strip groove 2 communicating with a strip opening 11 is provided at the bottom of the first strip handle 1 away from the slide 13; in use, in order to avoid the guide shaft 9 being exposed, the guide shaft 9 is set in the strip opening 11, the guide seat 10 is installed in the strip groove 2, and the end of the guide shaft 9 away from the slide 13 is located in the strip groove 2.

[0024] The two ends of the spring 12 are in elastic contact with the slide block 13 and the guide seat 10, respectively, causing the slider (slide block 13) to stop at the opening of the strip-shaped opening 11 under the push of the elastic component. At this time, the slide block 13 is in contact with the stop seat 4. Since the second strip-shaped handle 5 can slide on the surface of the first strip-shaped handle 1, the second strip-shaped handle 5 and the first strip-shaped handle 1 are also offset from each other under the push of the elastic component. When the two are offset, the first blade 6 and the second blade 7 open to form a cutting opening 8, which is larger than the diameter of the broccoli stem.

[0025] It should be noted that broccoli typically grows to a height of 40-90 cm. The florets are located at the top of the stem. When harvesting broccoli, pick them when the florets reach the size of a bowl, and cut the stem 6-8 cm below the florets. When using the broccoli, the operator holds the first strip-shaped handle 1, places the cutting notch 8 between the first blade 6 and the second blade 7 on the stem, and then slides the second strip-shaped handle 5 to move the first blade 6 towards the second blade 7, allowing the first blade 6 and the second blade 7 to cut the stem.

[0026] It should be noted that the length of the second strip-shaped handle 5 is shorter than the length of the first strip-shaped handle 1, thus ensuring that the distance D between the ends of the first strip-shaped handle 1 and the second strip-shaped handle 5 away from the first blade 6 (e.g., ...) Figure 1 (As shown) The distance is large enough to push the second strip-shaped handle 5. A booster mechanism is provided at the end of the second strip-shaped handle 5 and the first strip-shaped handle 1 away from the first blade 6. The booster mechanism is to assist the operator in sliding the second strip-shaped handle 5. The booster mechanism has two structures:

[0027] The first structure is, as Figure 1As shown, the booster mechanism includes limiting protrusions 15 respectively disposed on the top of the ends of the second strip-shaped handle 5 and the first strip-shaped handle 1 away from the first blade 6. In use, one can hold the first strip-shaped handle 1 and then use the thumb to press the limiting protrusion 15 on the second strip-shaped handle 5. The limiting protrusion 15 on the first strip-shaped handle 1 serves as a grip, and the thumb pushes the limiting protrusion 15 on the second strip-shaped handle 5 to slide along the strip-shaped opening 11, so that the first blade 6 and the second blade 7 are closed.

[0028] The second structure is, for example Figure 2 As shown, the booster mechanism includes handles 3 respectively located at the top of the ends of the second strip-shaped handle 5 and the first strip-shaped handle 1 away from the first blade 6. In use, the two handles 3 are grasped; tightening and loosening the grip slides the second strip-shaped handle 5. A certain distance exists between the two handles 3, the size of which matches the cutting opening 8. When the two handles 3 are closed, the first blade 6 and the second blade 7 are closed. Both structures can easily cut the broccoli stem and are convenient and simple to operate.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
