Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of fruit picking, in particular to a portable assembled fruit picker. BACKGROUND

[0002] Fruits such as coffee beans, loquat, etc. are usually grown on trees, so they often need to use corresponding picking tools to improve picking efficiency.

[0003] The structure of the conventional picking tool includes an operating rod and a fruit picking device fixed on the operating rod. The fruit picking device is moved to the vicinity of the fruit to be picked, and the fruit picking device is operated to separate the fruit stem connected to the fruit tree from the fruit tree, that is, the picking is completed. However, since coffee beans, loquat and other fruits, especially coffee beans, grow closely, picking is more troublesome. A more traditional way is to hit the trunk of the fruit tree with a heavy object so that the mature fruit naturally falls from the branch, and then is picked up into a frame. However, this method requires a high level of skill from the operator, and it is difficult for inexperienced farmers to master the knocking force. If the force is too large, it will easily cause damage to the fruit tree, and the unripe fruit will fall prematurely. In addition, if the force is insufficient, it will be difficult to pick the fruit in time, resulting in delayed fruit harvesting.

[0004] To solve the problem that the traditional method requires a high level of experience and has low work efficiency and poor picking effect, some people have proposed a device that uses a vibration instrument to drive the trunk to vibrate, thereby causing the fruit to vibrate off the branch. Using this device can greatly reduce labor intensity and improve the convenience of picking work. However, this device causes the trunk to vibrate, which can easily damage the trunk and affect the growth of subsequent fruit. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to design a vibration fruit picking device that can cause the crown of the fruit area to vibrate to ensure that the fruit falls smoothly without damaging the trunk.
