Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grape cultivation technology, specifically a grape harvester. Background Technology
[0002] Grapes are a common fruit, belonging to the genus *Vitis* in the family Vitaceae, and are one of the world's most popular fruit tree species. Grapes contain nutrients such as sugar, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and various essential amino acids. Due to high market demand, grapes are widely and extensively cultivated.
[0003] During the grape harvesting season, due to the high yield of grapes, manual grape harvesting is a very tiring task. It is time-consuming and laborious. Moreover, during the manual harvesting process, workers need to hold the grapes and cut the fruiting branches, which can easily cause the grapes to fall off, affecting the quality of the harvest. Therefore, we have proposed a grape harvester to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a grape harvester to solve the problems currently existing in the market as described in the background section.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a grape harvester, including a right handle and a left handle, with a rotating shaft connecting the front ends of the right and left handles through the shaft. A left scissor blade is fixed to the front end of the right handle, and a right scissor blade is fixed to the front end of the left handle. The right and left scissor blades, together with the left and right scissor blades, form an X-shaped movable structure via the rotating shaft. A right clamping box is fixed to the lower side of the right scissor blade, and a left clamping box is fixed to the lower side of the left scissor blade. Both the left and right clamping boxes are equipped with clamping components for clamping grape fruiting branches.
[0006] Preferably, the ends of both the left and right handles are fitted with handle gloves.
[0007] Preferably, the gloves are made of soft rubber.
[0008] Preferably, the right and left scissor blades are staggered vertically, and both the right and left scissor blades have an arc-shaped structure.
[0009] Preferably, the right handle, left scissor blade, and left clamping box are integrated into one unit.
[0010] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes a clamping block, a sleeve, and a spring. The sleeve is located inside the left clamping box and the right clamping box. The clamping block is fixed to the outside of the sleeve. The spring is fixed to the sleeve. The outer end of the spring is fixed inside the left clamping box and the right clamping box.
[0011] Preferably, a clamping pad is adhered to the outer side of the clamping block, and the clamping pad is made of soft rubber.
[0012] Preferably, the sleeve is formed by springs inside the left and right clamping boxes to create a telescopic structure. When the right and left scissor blades are in the closed state, the sleeve retracts into the innermost part of the left and right clamping boxes, and the clamping pads on the left and right clamping boxes are in close contact. When the right and left scissor blades are in the separated state, the clamping pads on the left and right clamping boxes protrude from the inner and outer sides of the right and left scissor blades.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] (1) The grape harvester is equipped with curved right and left scissor blades, which can make the operating handle positioned on the lower side of the grape fruit when cutting the grape fruiting mother branch, thus making it easier and faster to complete the grape fruit harvesting work and effectively improving the harvesting efficiency.
[0015] (2) A left clamping box and a right clamping box are provided on the right scissor blade and the left scissor blade, and both the left clamping box and the right clamping box are equipped with retractable clamping blocks. In this way, when the grape fruiting mother branch is cut off, the grape fruiting mother branch can be clamped first, so that the grape is in a stable state after harvesting, and the workers do not need to hold the grape fruit in their hands to carry out the harvesting work, thus ensuring the efficiency and quality of the harvesting work.

[0024] 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.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-7 The present invention provides a technical solution: a grape harvester, including a right handle 1 and a left handle 2. The tail ends of the left handle 1 and the right handle 2 are fitted with handle gloves 3. The handle gloves 3 are made of soft rubber, which not only ensures a stable hand position for the left handle 1 and the right handle 2, but also improves the comfort of using the left handle 1 and the right handle 2, thereby increasing the use value of the harvester.
[0026] The front ends of the right handle 1 and the left handle 2 are connected by a pivot 4. The front end of the right handle 1 is fixed with a left scissor blade 6, and the front end of the left handle 2 is fixed with a right scissor blade 5. The right handle 1 and the left scissor blade 6, together with the left handle 2 and the right scissor blade 5, form an X-shaped movable structure through the pivot 4.
[0027] Furthermore, the right scissor blade 5 and the left scissor blade 6 are staggered vertically to form a normal scissor structure, thus enabling the normal pruning of the grape fruiting branches. In addition, the right scissor blade 5 and the left scissor blade 6 are both arc-shaped, which facilitates the right scissor blade 5 and the left scissor blade 6 to reach into the upper part of the grape fruit for pruning, effectively improving the grape harvesting efficiency.
[0028] Furthermore, the right handle 1, left scissor blade 6, and left clamping box 7, as well as the left handle 2, right scissor blade 5, and right clamping box 8, are all integrated into one unit, ensuring the integrity of the harvester and thus enabling its stable use.
[0029] A right clamping box 8 is fixed to the lower side of the right scissor blade 5, and a left clamping box 7 is fixed to the lower side of the left scissor blade 6. Both the left clamping box 7 and the right clamping box 8 are equipped with clamping components for clamping grape fruiting branches.
[0030] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a clamping block 10, a sleeve 11, and a spring 12. The sleeve 11 is located inside the left clamping box 7 and the right clamping box 8. The clamping block 10 is fixed to the outside of the sleeve 11, and the spring 12 is fixed to the sleeve 11. The outer end of the spring 12 is fixed inside the left clamping box 7 and the right clamping box 8, ensuring that the sleeve 11 is in a stable moving state inside the left clamping box 7 and the right clamping box 8, thereby ensuring that the clamping block 10 performs clamping work as the right scissor blade 5 and the left scissor blade 6 open and close.
[0031] Furthermore, a clamping pad 9 is bonded to the outside of the clamping block 10. The clamping pad 9 is made of soft rubber and can make full contact with the grape fruiting mother branch to ensure safe clamping of the grape fruiting mother branch.
[0032] Furthermore, the sleeve 11 forms a telescopic structure inside the left clamping box 7 and the right clamping box 8 via the spring 12. When the right scissor blade 5 and the left scissor blade 6 are in the closed state, the sleeve 11 retracts into the innermost side of the left clamping box 7 and the right clamping box 8, and the clamping pads 9 on the left clamping box 7 and the right clamping box 8 are in close contact to ensure a stable clamping state. When the right scissor blade 5 and the left scissor blade 6 are in the separated state, the clamping pads 9 on the left clamping box 7 and the right clamping box 8 protrude from the inner and outer sides of the right scissor blade 5 and the left scissor blade 6. When the right scissor blade 5 and the left scissor blade 6 begin to close, the clamping pads 9 on both sides will first contact the grape fruiting mother branch to ensure a stable state when the grapes are harvested.
[0033] Working principle: When using this grape harvester, the worker first holds the handle sleeve 3 on the right handle 1 and the left handle 2 to facilitate the opening and closing of the right handle 1 and the left handle 2.
[0034] The worker first operates the right handle 1 and the left handle 2 to separate them. Under the action of the rotating shaft 4, the right scissor blade 5 and the left scissor blade 6 will also separate stably. Then the worker moves the right scissor blade 5 and the left scissor blade 6 to the grape fruiting mother branch, so that the grape fruiting mother branch is located between the right scissor blade 5 and the left scissor blade 6.
[0035] Because the right scissor blade 5 and the left scissor blade 6 are curved, when the grape fruiting branch is located between the right scissor blade 5 and the left scissor blade 6, the right handle 1 and the left handle 2 are located on the side of the grape fruit, so that workers can easily operate the grape harvester to pick the grapes, effectively improving the efficiency of the harvesting work.
[0036] Then the worker holds the right handle 1 and the left handle 2 and closes them. The right scissor blade 5 and the left scissor blade 6 also close. First, the clamping block 10 on the lower side of the right scissor blade 5 and the left scissor blade 6 will clamp the grape fruiting mother branch. Under the action of the clamping pad 9, the clamping work is safe and stable.
[0037] As the right scissor blade 5 and the left scissor blade 6 close, the sleeve 11 on the clamping block 10 is squeezed and retracted into the left clamping box 7 and the right clamping box 8. Under the action of the spring 12, the clamping block 10 strengthens the clamping stability. When the right scissor blade 5 and the left scissor blade 6 are fully closed, the grape fruiting mother branch can be cut off. The cut grape fruiting mother branch is clamped by the clamping block 10, so that the harvested grape fruit is in a stable state. The worker can then hold the grape harvester and place the grape fruit properly. During the harvesting process, the worker does not need to touch the grape fruit with his hands to harvest, thereby improving the harvesting efficiency.
[0038] The above describes the usage process of the grape harvester. Any content not described in detail in this manual is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0039] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
