Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of passion fruit harvesting technology, specifically a non-destructive passion fruit harvesting device. Background Technology
[0002] The ripening time of passion fruit varies depending on the variety, climate, and growing environment. When harvesting passion fruit, tools such as scissors or rubber gloves should be used to avoid damaging the fruit.
[0003] The existing passion fruit harvesting device damages the outer skin of the passion fruit when it falls to the bottom of the storage box after harvesting, and makes it difficult to retrieve the full box of passion fruit, thus reducing the integrity of the passion fruit. In addition, the existing passion fruit harvesting device cannot classify the passion fruit by size during harvesting, which requires rework and affects work efficiency. Therefore, it needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a non-destructive passion fruit harvesting device, including a base, with a movable wheel fixedly installed at the bottom of the base, a pusher fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the base, a controller fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the pusher, a rotating motor fixedly mounted at the bottom of the inner wall of the base, an auxiliary component provided on the inner wall of the base, a connecting rod fixedly mounted on the power output shaft of the rotating motor, a telescopic device provided at the top of the connecting rod, a harvesting component provided on the outer wall of the telescopic device, an electric hydraulic cylinder fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the connecting rod, a push rod installed at the telescopic end of the electric hydraulic cylinder, a pressing rod at one end of the outer wall of the push rod, a shearing blade at the other end of the pressing rod, and a scanning device installed on the outer wall of the pressing rod.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the auxiliary component includes a stand, a slider is fixedly installed at the bottom of the stand, a circular groove is opened at the top of the stand, and a collection box one and a collection box two are respectively provided at the bottom of the stand.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, there are two sliders, and the two sliders are symmetrically distributed on the top of the base. The sliders slide on the top of the base. The diameter of the circular groove is adapted to the diameter of the corrugated feed pipe, and the circular groove is sleeved on the outer wall of the corrugated feed pipe. Both the first collection box and the second collection box are made of polyurethane foam.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the harvesting component includes a micro motor, the power output shaft of the micro motor is fixedly mounted with a rotating shaft, an electromagnet ring is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and a harvesting bag is installed at the bottom of the electromagnet ring.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a movable plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the picking bag, and iron blocks are fixedly mounted on both outer walls of the movable plate. A corrugated feeding pipe is installed at the bottom of the picking bag, and a partition is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the corrugated feeding pipe.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the bottom of the movable plate is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the picking bag, the top of the movable plate slides on the inner wall of the electromagnet ring, the electromagnet ring is electrically connected to the controller through a power supply, and the micro motor is electrically connected to the scanning device.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. This non-destructive passion fruit harvesting device scans the volume of passion fruit using a scanning instrument. When the fruit reaches maturity but is still small, a signal is emitted, causing a micro motor to rotate forward. This causes an electromagnet ring to tilt to the right under the drive of the rotating shaft. At this point, the electromagnet ring attracts an iron block, allowing the top of the moving plate to contact the inner wall of one end of the electromagnet ring. This allows the passion fruit harvested by the shearing blade to pass through the harvesting bag into the inner wall of the corrugated feeding pipe and then be collected in the corresponding box by a partition. When the fruit reaches maturity but is of normal size, the scanning instrument emits another signal, causing the micro motor to rotate in the opposite direction. This allows the device to classify the fruit during the harvesting process, saving time and improving harvesting efficiency.
[0013] 2. This non-destructive passion fruit harvesting device, by pushing the upright frame, allows the slider to slide on the top of the base, which in turn allows the upright frame to drive the corrugated feed pipe to slide towards the pusher side, exposing collection boxes one and two. This facilitates the collection of passion fruit from the inner walls of collection boxes one and two, making it easier to continue harvesting passion fruit. At the same time, the polyurethane foam filling the inner walls of collection boxes one and two prevents the passion fruit from being easily damaged when falling, improving harvesting efficiency while maintaining the freshness and integrity of the fruit.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 A non-destructive passion fruit harvesting device includes a base 1, with a movable wheel 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of the base 1, a pusher 3 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the base 1, a controller 4 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the pusher 3, a rotating motor 5 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the inner wall of the base 1, an auxiliary component 6 provided on the inner wall of the base 1, a connecting rod 7 fixedly mounted on the power output shaft of the rotating motor 5, a telescopic device 8 provided on the top of the connecting rod 7, a harvesting component 9 provided on the outer wall of the telescopic device 8, an electric hydraulic cylinder 10 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the connecting rod 7, a push rod 11 installed on the telescopic end of the electric hydraulic cylinder 10, a pressing rod 12 provided on the outer wall of the push rod 11, a shearing blade 13 provided on the other end of the pressing rod 12, and a scanning device 14 installed on the outer wall of the pressing rod 12.
[0024] Using the above structure, the controller 4 sends a signal to enable the rotating motor 5 to start working, thereby enabling the connecting rod 7 to drive the telescopic device 8 to rotate, allowing the device to harvest passion fruit at different angles. At the same time, due to the setting of the telescopic device 8, the device can harvest passion fruit at different heights.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the auxiliary component 6 includes a support frame 601, a slider 602 fixedly installed at the bottom of the support frame 601, a circular groove 603 opened at the top of the support frame 601, and collection box one 604 and collection box two 605 respectively provided at the bottom of the support frame 601.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment, there are two sliders 602, and the two sliders 602 are symmetrically distributed on the top of the base 1. The sliders 602 slide on the top of the base 1. The diameter of the circular groove 603 is adapted to the diameter of the corrugated feed tube 907, and the circular groove 603 is sleeved on the outer wall of the corrugated feed tube 907. The first collection box 604 and the second collection box 605 are both made of polyurethane foam.
[0027] Using the above structure, by pushing the upright 601, the slider 602 can slide on the top of the base 1, which in turn allows the upright 601 to drive the corrugated feed pipe 907 to slide to one side of the pusher 3, exposing the first collection box 604 and the second collection box 605, thus facilitating the collection of passion fruit on the inner walls of the first collection box 604 and the second collection box 605, and making it easier to continue harvesting passion fruit.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the picking component 9 includes a micro motor 901, the power output shaft of the micro motor 901 is fixedly mounted with a rotating shaft 902, an electromagnet ring 903 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 902, and a picking bag 904 is mounted on the bottom of the electromagnet ring 903.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, a movable plate 905 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the picking bag 904, and iron blocks 906 are fixedly mounted on both outer walls of the movable plate 905. A corrugated feeding pipe 907 is installed at the bottom of the picking bag 904, and a partition 908 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the corrugated feeding pipe 907.
[0030] Using the above structure, the top of the moving plate 905 is attracted to the inner wall of the electromagnet ring 903 via the iron block 906. It can be seen that the device will not cause confusion in the classification of passion fruit during the harvesting process, thus saving the time of manual secondary sorting.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the movable plate 905 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the picking bag 904, the top of the movable plate 905 slides on the inner wall of the electromagnet ring 903, the electromagnet ring 903 is electrically connected to the controller 4 through the power supply, and the micro motor 901 is electrically connected to the scanning device 14.
[0032] Using the above structure, the scanning device 14 scans the volume of the passion fruit. When the fruit reaches the ripeness standard but is small in size, a signal is emitted, causing the micro motor 901 to rotate forward. This causes the electromagnet ring 903 to tilt to the right under the drive of the rotating shaft 902. At this time, the electromagnet ring 903 can attract the iron block 906, allowing the top of the moving plate 905 to contact the inner wall of one end of the electromagnet ring 903. This allows the passion fruit picked by the shearing blade 13 to enter the inner wall of the corrugated feeding pipe 907 through the picking bag 904 and be collected in the corresponding box through the partition 908. When the fruit reaches the ripeness standard but is of normal size, the scanning device 14 emits another signal, causing the micro motor 901 to rotate in the reverse direction. This allows the device to classify the fruit during the picking process.
[0033] Working principle: When using this device, pushing the pusher 3 moves the device to the desired passion fruit harvesting position. Adjusting the rotating motor 5 and the telescopic device 8 allows the shearing blade 13 to be positioned on the outer wall of the passion fruit. The scanning device 14 scans the volume of the passion fruit. When the fruit reaches maturity but is small in size, a signal is emitted, causing the micro motor 901 to rotate forward. This causes the electromagnet ring 903 to tilt to the right under the drive of the rotating shaft 902. At this time, the electromagnet ring 903 attracts the iron block 906, allowing the top of the moving plate 905 to contact the inner wall of one end of the electromagnet ring 903. The passion fruit harvested by the shearing blade 13 then enters the inner wall of the corrugated feeding pipe 907 through the harvesting bag 904 and is then fed into the corresponding box for recycling via the partition 908. When the fruit reaches maturity but is of normal size, the scanning device 14... 4 will emit another signal to cause the micro motor 901 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby enabling the device to classify the passion fruit during the harvesting process and let it fall into the inner walls of collection box 1 604 and collection box 2 605 respectively. The inner walls of collection box 1 604 and collection box 2 605 are filled with polyurethane foam, which prevents the passion fruit from being easily damaged when falling, improving harvesting efficiency while maintaining the freshness and integrity of the fruit. After harvesting, the stand 601 can be pushed so that the slider 602 can slide on the top of the base 1. This allows the stand 601 to drive the corrugated feed pipe 907 to slide to one side of the pusher 3, exposing collection box 1 604 and collection box 2 605. This facilitates the collection of passion fruit on the inner walls of collection box 1 604 and collection box 2 605, making it easier to continue harvesting passion fruit.
