Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kiwifruit cultivation technology, and in particular to a kiwifruit harvesting tool. Background Technology
[0002] Kiwifruit is a fruit rich in Vitamin C and has excellent nutritional value. Its skin is covered with dense fuzz, which protects the fruit from external environmental factors such as bacterial and fungal invasion and excessive water evaporation. If the fuzz is damaged, the protective layer is broken, increasing the risk of spoilage and shortening shelf life. Therefore, the more intact the fuzz, the more desirable the kiwifruit is to customers.
[0003] In current technologies, kiwifruit are mostly harvested manually to preserve the fuzz. However, for kiwifruit located higher up, harvesting tools are still necessary. These tools are often general-purpose fruit harvesters, which inevitably damage the fuzz. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a harvesting tool that can protect the kiwifruit fuzz. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a kiwi fruit harvesting tool to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a kiwifruit harvesting tool, including a collection bag, an annular cage, and a handle; it also includes a fur sheath, a slider, a fixing block, and a blade; the opening of the collection bag is fixed to the annular cage, the fur sheath covers the annular cage, the annular cage has an opening, the open end of the annular cage is fixed to the slider, a limiting post is provided on one side of the slider, and a blade groove is opened in the middle of the slider; one end of the fixing block is fixedly connected to the handle, and the other end is provided with a sliding groove adapted to the slider; the blade is fixed in the sliding groove and inserted into the blade groove; a waist-shaped hole is provided on one side of the sliding groove, and the limiting post is slidably disposed in the waist-shaped hole; a spring that abuts against the slider is also installed in the sliding groove; under normal conditions, the blade is hidden in the blade groove.
[0006] Furthermore, the collection bag is provided with a V-shaped opening, and an elastic band is sewn into the V-shaped opening; the V-shaped opening is located below the opening of the annular cage.
[0007] Furthermore, the handle is screwed to the fixing block.
[0008] Furthermore, the handle is a telescopic handle or a screw-on extension handle.
[0009] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0010] This invention uses a fur sheath and a concealed blade to prevent the kiwifruit from coming into hard contact with the harvesting tools, effectively preventing the harvesting tools from damaging the fuzz on the kiwifruit. Attached Figure Description

[0016] To achieve the above objectives and effects, the technical means and structure adopted by this utility model are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, focusing on the features and functions of the preferred embodiments of this utility model.
[0017] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a kiwi fruit harvesting tool, including a collection bag 1, an annular cage 5, and a handle 4; it also includes a fur sheath 2, a slider 6, a fixing block 3, and a blade 7; the opening of the collection bag 1 is fixed to the annular cage 5, the fur sheath 2 is wrapped around the annular cage 5, the annular cage 5 has an opening, the open end of the annular cage 5 is fixed to the slider 6, a limiting post 61 is provided on one side of the slider 6, and a blade groove 62 is opened in the middle of the slider 6; one end of the fixing block 3 is fixedly connected to the handle 4, and the other end is provided with a sliding groove 32 adapted to the slider 6; the blade 7 is fixed in the sliding groove 32 and inserted into the blade groove 62; a waist-shaped hole 31 is provided on one side of the sliding groove 32, and the limiting post 61 is slidably disposed in the waist-shaped hole 31; a spring 8 that abuts against the slider 6 is also installed in the sliding groove 32; under normal conditions, the blade 7 is hidden in the blade groove 62.
[0018] When harvesting kiwifruit, hold handle 4 and control the ring cage 5 to move from below the target kiwifruit to above the fruit stem. Since the ring cage 5 is covered with a fur sheath 2, the fuzz on the surface of the kiwifruit will not be damaged. At this time, the target kiwifruit is located in the collection bag 1. Then push the handle, and the ring cage 5, under the pressure of the kiwifruit, drives the slider 6 to slide into the groove 32, so that the blade 7 is exposed from the blade groove 62, thereby cutting off the fruit stem. The kiwifruit falls into the collection bag 1. After the ring cage 5 loses its squeezing force, the spring 8 drives the slider 6 to reset, so that the blade 7 is hidden back in the blade groove 62.
[0019] In another embodiment, the collection bag 1 is provided with a V-shaped opening 11, and an elastic band 12 is sewn onto the V-shaped opening 11; the V-shaped opening 11 is located below the opening of the annular cage 5. By providing the elastic band 12, the kiwi fruit stem is more likely to come closer to the blade 7 when harvesting the kiwi fruit.
[0020] In another embodiment, the handle 4 is screwed to the fixing block 3 so that it can be disassembled and stored when not in use, saving storage space.
[0021] In another embodiment, the handle 4 is a telescopic handle or a screw-on extension rod handle, so as to adjust the length of the handle 4 according to the actual height of the kiwi.
[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and not all embodiments. Anyone should know that structural changes made under the guidance of the present utility model are protected by the present utility model. All technical solutions that are the same as or similar to the present utility model are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
