It should be understood that each specific term includes all technical equivalents that operate in a similar manner to achieve a similar purpose.

[0031] Example: See Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the system includes a trolley 3, a lifting system 2, and a collection system. The trolley 3 includes a frame 21, wheels 23, and a handle. The collection system includes a collection umbrella, a guide pipe 4, and a collection bag 26. The guide pipe 4 is mounted on the frame 21 via two support frames 22. The upper outer wall of the guide pipe 4 is provided with a mounting plate 27. A sliding plate 16 is provided below the guide pipe 4 and can be raised and lowered. The collection bag 26 is fitted onto the outlet on one side of the guide pipe 4. The collection umbrella includes an umbrella frame 1 and an umbrella cloth 24. The umbrella cloth 24 is mounted on the umbrella frame 1 above the guide pipe 4 and has an inverted cone shape when unfolded. The umbrella cloth 24 has an enclosure opening 28 in the forward direction of the trolley 3 and an outlet in the middle of the umbrella cloth corresponding to the inlet of the guide pipe 4. The umbrella frame 1 includes five first umbrella frames and two second umbrella frames. The two second umbrella frames are distributed at the front of the trolley, and the five first umbrella frames are arranged in a layout of two on each side and one at the rear.

[0032] The first umbrella frame includes a first main umbrella rib 10, a folding umbrella rib 6, a transmission rod 7, a first push rod 11, a linear bearing 8, and a bearing connecting rod 9. One end of the first main umbrella rib 10 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 27, and the other end of the first main umbrella rib 10 is hinged to one end of the folding umbrella rib 6. A linear bearing 8 is slidably mounted on the first main umbrella rib 10, and bearing connecting rods 9 are respectively mounted on both sides of the linear bearing 8. One end of the bearing connecting rod 9 is hinged to one end of the transmission rod 7, and the other end of the transmission rod 7 is hinged to the folding umbrella rib 6. The other end of the bearing connecting rod 9 is hinged to one end of the first push rod 11, and the other end of the first push rod 11 is hinged to the sliding plate 16.

[0033] The second umbrella frame includes a second main umbrella rib 12, a folding umbrella rib 6, a transmission rod 7, a second push rod 13, a linear bearing 8, and a bearing connecting rod 9. One end of the second main umbrella rib 12 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 27, and the other end of the second main umbrella rib 12 is hinged to one end of the folding umbrella rib 6. A linear bearing 8 is slidably mounted on the second main umbrella rib 12, and bearing connecting rods 9 are respectively mounted on both sides of the linear bearing 8. One end of the bearing connecting rod 9 is hinged to one end of the transmission rod 7, and the other end of the transmission rod 7 is hinged to the folding umbrella rib 6. The other end of the bearing connecting rod 9 is hinged to one end of the second push rod 13, and the other end of the second push rod 13 is hinged to the sliding plate 16.

[0034] See Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the difference between the first umbrella frame and the second umbrella frame lies in the different shapes of the main umbrella ribs and the push rods.

[0035] See Figure 8 As shown, the lifting system 2 includes a sliding plate 16, sliders 17, guide rails 18, a slider connecting plate 19, and an electric push rod 20. Guide rails 18 are respectively provided on the inner sides of the two support frames 22. Sliders 17 are provided on the guide rails 18. A slider connecting plate 19 is provided between the two sliders 17. The electric push rod 20 is provided on the vehicle frame 21 between the two support frames 22. The output end of the electric push rod 20 is connected to the slider connecting plate 19. The sliding plate 16 is provided on the slider connecting plate 19.

[0036] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the cross-section of the sliding plate 16 has a structure in the shape of a Chinese character 'Ri'. The middle crossbar of the 'Ri'-shaped structure is connected to the slider connecting plate 19.

[0037] See Figure 7 As shown, seat bearings 15 are distributed on the sliding plate 16. A rotating hinge seat 14 is installed on the seat bearings 15. The other ends of the first push rod 11 and the second push rod 13 are respectively hinged to the rotating hinge seat 14. This structure enables the first push rod 11 and the second push rod 13 to rotate.

[0038] In one embodiment, magnets are evenly distributed on both sides of the enclosure opening 28 of the umbrella cloth 24. The magnetic poles of the corresponding magnets are opposite. The enclosure opening 28 can be automatically closed through the mutual attraction of the magnets with opposite magnetic poles.

[0039] In this embodiment, a battery 5 for supplying power to the electric push rod 20 is provided on the vehicle frame 21.

[0040] Preferably, the folding umbrella ribs and the main umbrella rib 10 are solid round tubes with an outer diameter of about 12 mm. In order to smoothly collect oil-tea fruits, the angle of the first main umbrella rib 10 is 105 degrees, and the diameter of the opened umbrella surface is 2000 mm.

[0041] Further preferably, the switch of the electric push rod 20 is installed at the handle, and the movement of the electric push rod 20 can be controlled through the switch.

[0042] In the working process of this utility model, the two second umbrella frames of the folding umbrella-shaped camellia fruit collecting device are rotated outward to form an inlet for placing the camellia tree trunk. The trunk is then pushed in, and the electric push rod 20 is extended. The upward movement of the push rod pushes the linear bearing 8 to slide outward on the main umbrella rib. The movement of the linear bearing 8 drives the transmission rod 7 to push the folding umbrella rib 6 to rotate around the main umbrella rib, causing the folding umbrella rib to unfold, thereby unfolding the umbrella cloth 24. Then, the second main umbrella rib 12 is rotated inward, so that the camellia fruit tree is sandwiched between the two second umbrella frames. The umbrella cloth 24 is enclosed under the action of the magnet 25. After the harvesting equipment is working, the harvested and fallen camellia fruits fall on the umbrella cloth 24 and smoothly enter the collection bag 26 through the guide pipe 4, thus completing the bagging and collection. After the collection is completed, the two second umbrella frames are rotated outward, and the electric push rod 20 is retracted to fold the collecting umbrella, which is then removed from the trunk, allowing for the next collection.

[0043] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and thus all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0044] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
