[0025] Adjusting the length of the adjusting rod 1 causes the top of the adjusting rod 1 to move upward through the picking seat 2, which in turn moves the adjusting mechanism 4 upward, causing the adjusting mechanism 4 to move the pull rope 6 upward. Then, the pull rope 6 is placed into the inner cavity of the slot 9, and the lower surface of the pull rod seat 8 is attached to the upper surface of the positioning block 7. Next, the pull rope 6 is supported by the support structure 10, and then the pull rod seat 8 is inserted into the adjusting rod 1 to complete the adjustment of the length of the picking claw rod. This allows the length of the rod to be adjusted, enabling the picking of yellow-skinned fruits at different heights, thus facilitating the picking of yellow-skinned fruits and increasing the picking efficiency.

[0026] The adjustment mechanism 4 includes an adjustment seat 41. The surface of the adjustment seat 41 is provided with an adjustment hole 42. The inner cavity of the adjustment hole 42 is slidably connected to the surface of the irregular picking plate 3. A connecting rod 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the adjustment seat 41.

[0028] The support structure 10 includes a threaded hole 101, which is located at the bottom of the pull rod seat 8. The inner cavity of the threaded hole 101 communicates with the inner cavity of the slot 9. A locking bolt 102 is threadedly connected to the inner cavity of the threaded hole 101. One end of the locking bolt 102 is fitted against the inner wall of the slot 9. By rotating the locking bolt 102 clockwise, the other end of the locking bolt 102 is fitted against the inner wall of the slot 9. This seals the outlet of the slot 9, preventing the pull rope 6 from moving out of the outlet of the slot 9 and improving the stability of the pull rod seat 8 when pulling the pull rope 6.

[0029] The adjusting rod 1 includes a movable tube 11 and a support tube 12. The surface of the movable tube 11 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the support tube 12. The surface of the support tube 12 is provided with a threaded sleeve 13. The inner cavity of the threaded sleeve 13 is threadedly connected to a screw 14. After adjusting the position of the movable tube 11 in the support tube 12, the screw 14 is rotated clockwise so that the surface of the screw 14 is in contact with the outer surface of the support tube 12. By increasing the friction, the position of the movable tube 11 in the support tube 12 is positioned.

[0030] Support blocks 27 are fixedly connected to both sides of the movable tube 11. A support groove is opened on the inner side wall of the support tube 12. The surface of the support block 27 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the support groove. The support blocks 27 and the support groove cooperate to support both sides of the movable tube 11, thereby improving the stability of the movable tube 11 when it moves vertically inside the support tube 12.

[0031] The surface of the movable tube 11 is provided with fixing holes 28. The inner cavity of the fixing hole 28 is engaged with one end of the screw 14. Several sets of fixing holes 28 are provided, and the sets of fixing holes 28 are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the movable tube 11. The fixing holes 28 can provide support between the surface of the movable tube 11 and the screw 14, increasing the stability after positioning. At the same time, the outer surface of the movable tube 11 is provided with scale lines, which makes it convenient for the staff to fix the hole positions of the fixing holes 28.

[0032] Limiting blocks 29 are fixedly connected to both sides of the pull rod seat 8. A limiting groove is opened on the inner side wall of the bottom end of the support tube 12. The surface of the limiting block 29 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the limiting groove. The position of the pull rod seat 8 in the inner cavity of the support tube 12 is positioned by the setting of the limiting block 29 and the limiting groove.

[0033] In practical use: Adjust the length of the pole according to the height of the yellow-skinned fruit. Pull the movable tube 11 upward from the support tube 12. The movable tube 11 drives the pull rope 6 upward through the picking seat 2, causing the pull rope 6 to move the positioning block 7 at the bottom to the inner cavity of the support tube 12. Then, put the pull rope 6 into the slot 9 of the pull rod seat 8, and turn the locking bolt 102 clockwise to seal the slot 9, limiting the pull rope 6. Then, insert the pull rod seat 8 from bottom to top into the support tube 12, so that the limiting block 29 enters the inner cavity of the limiting groove. When picking, pull the pull rod seat 8 downward to move the pull rope 6. When the rope 6 is pulled down by the movable seat 44, the adjusting seat slides downward, compressing and energizing the spring 26, causing the surrounding irregularly shaped picking plates 3 to open, thus opening the picking claws. Then, the yellow-skinned fruit is covered, the pull rod seat 8 is released, causing the spring 26 to release and push the adjusting seat upward, causing the irregularly shaped picking plates 3 to close and grab the yellow-skinned fruit. Pulling down the rod or rotating the rod allows the yellow-skinned fruit to be picked. This allows the length of the rod to be adjusted, enabling the picking of yellow-skinned fruit at different heights, providing convenience for the picking work and increasing the picking efficiency of yellow-skinned fruit.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
