[0028] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, the adjusting part 2 includes adjusting connecting rod 202, adjusting handle 203, adjusting worm 204, adjusting screw 205, adjusting worm gear 206, adjusting reset spring 207; adjusting screw 205 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the support 3, adjusting screw 205 is provided with a plurality of, adjusting screw 205 is arranged on adjusting worm gear 206 through thread, adjusting worm gear 206 is rotationally arranged on adjusting reset spring 207, adjusting worm gear 206 is engaged with adjusting worm 204 rotationally arranged on adjusting reset spring 207; adjusting connecting rod 202 is fixedly arranged on adjusting worm 204, adjusting handle 203 is rotationally arranged on adjusting connecting rod 202; the collecting frame 4 is slidably arranged on the support 3, the collecting frame 4 is rectangular, and the adjusting reset spring 207 is arranged between the collecting frame 4 and the support 3; the bottom of the adjusting reset spring 207 is provided with a roller for easy movement.

[0029] As shown in the drawings, Figures 1 to 8 The working principle of the grapefruit collecting and transferring device with buffering and damping functions is as follows: the device is moved to the grapefruit tree, the operator manually rotates the adjusting handle 203, the adjusting handle 203 drives the adjusting connecting rod 202 to rotate, the adjusting connecting rod 202 drives the adjusting worm 204 to rotate, the adjusting worm 204 drives the adjusting worm gear 206 to rotate, and the adjusting worm gear 206 moves the adjusting screw 205 in the vertical direction through thread when rotating, thereby moving the support 3 and the buffer part 1 in the vertical direction, changing the position of the buffer part 1, reducing the distance between the buffer part 1 and the grapefruit on the grapefruit tree, and preventing the grapefruit from falling to a high height during subsequent picking, which can cause damage.

[0030] After the position adjustment of the buffer part 1 is completed, the device is moved, and the inner wall of the support 3 is semicircular, so that the inner wall of the support 3 is attached to the trunk of the pomelo tree. At this time, the collecting frame 4 is in contact with the trunk, and as the support 3 is attached to the trunk, the adjusting reset spring 207 is compressed, the collecting frame 4 moves in the radial direction of the support 3, so that the side wall of the collecting frame 4 is attached to the support 3. At this time, the trunk is closely attached to the support 3 and the collecting frame 4. Turn on the buffer adjustment motor one 109 and the buffer adjustment motor two 111. The buffer adjustment motor one 109 rotates to drive the buffer adjustment gear one 110 to rotate. The buffer adjustment gear one 110 rotates to drive the buffer gear ring one 101 and the buffer piece one 103 to slide in the circumferential direction of the support 3. The buffer adjustment motor two 111 rotates to drive the buffer gear two 112 to rotate. The buffer gear two 112 rotates to drive the buffer gear ring two 104 and the buffer piece two 106 to slide in the circumferential direction of the support 3. The buffer gear ring one 101 and the buffer gear ring two 104 wrap the trunk therein. At this time, the limiting ball on the buffer gear ring two 104 slides into the limiting hole on the buffer gear ring one 101, and the buffer baffle two 105 is attached to the buffer baffle one 102 to wrap the trunk. At this time, the buffer piece one 103 and the buffer piece two 106 stretch the buffer folding cloth 107, so that the buffer column 108, the buffer piece two 106 and the buffer folding cloth 107 surround the trunk. The picker can pick the pomelo fruits. When the pomelo fruits are picked, they fall from the pomelo tree to the buffer piece one 103, the buffer folding cloth 107 and the buffer piece two 106, and finally slide to the bottom of the buffer piece one 103, the buffer folding cloth 107 and the buffer piece two 106. During the falling process, the air filled in the buffer column 108 buffers and dampens the pomelo fruits to prevent them from being damaged by falling.

[0031] When the pomelo fruits on the pomelo tree are picked, turn on the buffer adjustment motor one 109 and the buffer adjustment motor two 111. The buffer adjustment motor one 109 rotates to drive the buffer adjustment gear one 110 to rotate. The buffer adjustment gear one 110 rotates to drive the buffer gear ring one 101 to retreat into the support 3. The buffer adjustment motor two 111 rotates to drive the buffer gear two 112 to rotate. The buffer gear two 112 rotates to drive the buffer gear ring two 104 to retreat into the support 3. The operator removes the device from the trunk. As the inner wall of the support 3 moves away from the trunk, the adjusting reset spring 207 pushes the collecting frame 4 to the center of the support 3. The pomelo fruits falling on the buffer piece one 103, the buffer piece two 106 and the buffer folding cloth 107 fall into the collecting frame 4. The pomelo fruits are collected in the collecting frame 4 for subsequent transportation and processing.

[0032] During the whole picking process, the device is surrounded around the trunk, so that the pomelo fruits on the tree can be quickly picked to prevent the pomelo fruits from falling and causing loss of bad fruits, and to improve the picking efficiency.
