[0021] 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.

[0022] This utility model provides a technical solution; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 A quick strawberry picking tool includes: a lower clamping plate 1, an upper clamping plate 2, and a guide arm 3. The guide arm 3 is fixedly connected to the lower clamping plate 1 and slidably connected to the upper clamping plate 2. A first spring 31 is connected between the guide arm 3 and the upper clamping plate 2. A storage groove 23 is provided at the lower end of the upper clamping plate 2. A cutting blade 4 is mounted at the upper end of the lower clamping plate 1. A protective sleeve 5 is slidably connected to the outside of the cutting blade 4. A piston 51 is connected to the bottom of the protective sleeve 5. A second spring 53 is connected between the piston 51 and the lower clamping plate 1. A sealing plate 6 is connected at the junction of the protective sleeve 5 and the lower clamping plate 1. Circular grooves 61 are provided on both sides of the top of the sealing plate 6.

[0023] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The lower clamping plate 1 and the upper clamping plate 2 can contact each other. The guide arm 3 can guide the upper clamping plate 2 and cause the upper clamping plate 2 to return to its original position by the first spring 31 after the movement is completed. The storage groove 23 can accommodate the cutting blade 4, which can cut the strawberry stem. The protective sleeve 5 can protect the cutting blade 4 and clean the juice on the outside of the cutting blade 4. The piston 51 can move inside the square groove 54 to generate airflow. The airflow can be discharged through the round groove 61. The sealing plate 6 can improve the airtightness between the square groove 54 and the protective sleeve 5.

[0024] Both the upper clamping plate 2 and the lower clamping plate 1 have rubber pads 22 connected to their opposite ends. The rubber pads 22 are connected to protective gloves 21. The combination of the rubber pads 22 and protective gloves 21 can protect the user's fingers and prevent the device from detaching from the user's palm. The lower clamping plate 1 has a square groove 54 inside, which is fixedly connected to the second spring 53. The square groove 54 is slidably connected to the piston 51. The square groove 54 can guide the piston 51 to move linearly, and at the same time, it can be used to assemble the second spring 53.

[0025] Both sides of the bottom of the lower clamping plate 1 are provided with exhaust holes 52, which are connected to the square groove 54. The exhaust holes 52 facilitate the discharge of airflow generated when the piston 51 moves. A rubber plate is embedded at the end of the protective sleeve 5 near the cutting blade 4, and the protective sleeve 5 is slidably connected to the lower clamping plate 1. The rubber plate can prevent the cutting blade 4 from being damaged by friction with the protective sleeve 5.

[0026] The interior of the storage slot 23 is adapted to the exterior of the cutting blade 4, and a rubber plate is embedded inside the storage slot 23. The storage slot 23 allows the cutting blade 4 to be inserted inside and prevents the protective sleeve 5 from moving. The rubber plate can prevent wear and damage.

[0027] This method first involves inserting the thumb into the protective glove 21 at the bottom of the lower clamp 1, and the index and middle fingers into the protective glove 21 outside the upper clamp 2. By applying force to the upper clamp 2 and the lower clamp 1 together, the cutting blade 4 is inserted into the storage groove 23 to cut the strawberry stems and finally harvest the strawberries. At the same time, when the cutting blade 4 is inserted into the storage groove 23, the protective sleeve 5 will be resisted and retract into the square groove 54, driving the piston 51 to move. When the lower clamp 1 and the upper clamp 2 return to their original positions, the protective sleeve 5 returns to its original position outside the cutting blade 4, thereby scraping and driving the juice produced by the cutting blade 4. At the same time, the piston 51 returns to its original position together, and the airflow generated at the top of the inner cavity of the square groove 54 drives the protective sleeve 5 and the strawberry stem juice outside the cutting blade 4, so that the juice quickly leaves the outside of the cutting blade 4.

[0028] By combining the added storage slot 23, cutting blade 4, and protective sleeve 5, the cutting blade 4 is automatically protected by the protective sleeve 5 when not in use. When in use, it can work with the storage slot 23 to quickly cut the strawberry stems, thus avoiding the risk of injury to the user's palm when picking strawberries with traditional scissors, which would otherwise slow down the picking process. At the same time, the added protective sleeve 5 automatically drives the juice produced after the cutting blade 4 has finished cutting the strawberry stems, preventing a large amount of juice from remaining on the outside of the device and affecting its normal use.
