[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0025] In order to solve the technical problem of low work efficiency of manual picking of peppers in the prior art, the present application provides a picking device which can comb the stems of peppers when the moving mechanism moves along a preset direction, so that the peppers are separated from the stems, the picked peppers can be collected by the collecting mechanism, the degree of automation is high, and the picking efficiency of peppers is effectively improved.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , Figures 1-4 The picking device is used for picking peppers and includes a moving mechanism 1, at least one collecting mechanism 2 and at least one picking mechanism 3. The moving mechanism 1 can move along a preset direction and is provided with a picking channel 1a. The collecting mechanism 2 is installed on the moving mechanism 1 and located on one side of the picking channel 1a, has a collecting cavity 2a and an open top. The picking mechanism 3 includes a driving member 31 and a comb tooth part 32. The driving member 31 is installed on the moving mechanism 1, and the comb tooth part 32 is connected with the movable end of the driving member 31. The driving member 31 can drive the comb tooth part 32 to rotate, so that the comb tooth part 32 has a first state of extending into the picking channel 1a and a second state of extending above the collecting cavity 2a.

[0027] In actual use, by moving the moving mechanism 1 along the preset direction, each pepper tree can enter the picking channel 1a one by one, the driving piece 31 drives the comb tooth part 32 to rotate, the comb tooth part 32 extends to the picking channel 1a, and the comb tooth part 32 can comb the stems of the pepper trees, so that the peppers are separated from the stems; at the same time, when the comb tooth part 32 rotates to the upper side of the collecting cavity 2a, the peppers can fall into the collecting cavity 2a, the degree of automation is high, the peppers can be picked effectively, and the device is suitable for areas where peppers are planted on a large scale.

[0028] It should be noted that the moving mechanism 1 is not limited to a specific structure, as long as it can move along the preset direction, and no other limitations are made here.

[0029] In one embodiment, the moving mechanism 1 comprises a frame, four rollers and two driving motors, two rollers are rotatably arranged on opposite sides of the frame, two driving motors are respectively mounted on opposite sides of the frame, and the output ends of the two driving motors are respectively connected with the rotating shafts of the corresponding two rollers, wherein the frame is provided with the picking channel 1a.

[0030] It should be noted that in one embodiment, the comb tooth part 32 comprises a plurality of mounting plates 321 and a plurality of picking rods 322, the mounting plates 321 are spaced apart and mounted on the movable end of the driving piece 31, and the opposite sides of each mounting plate 321 are spaced apart and provided with a plurality of picking rods 322, the picking rods 322 have a first state of extending into the picking channel 1a and a second state of extending above the collecting cavity 2a.

[0031] It can be understood that the adjacent two picking rods 322 form a picking gap, when the stems of the pepper trees are located in the picking gap, the picking rod 322 rotates with the mounting plate 321, the stems can be combed, the peppers are separated from the stems, at the same time, the peppers can roll on the picking rod 322 and fall into the collecting cavity 2a.

[0032] On the basis of the above scheme, each picking rod 322 has a bending part away from the mounting plate 321, it should be noted that the bending part can block the peppers separated from the stems to prevent the peppers from falling to the ground.

[0033] On the basis of the above scheme, the included angle between the planes of the adjacent two mounting plates 321 is 50°, when the driving piece 31 drives the comb tooth part 32 to rotate, it is ensured that the plurality of picking rods 322 on each mounting plate 321 can pick each pepper tree once, and it is ensured that the peppers on each pepper tree can be picked cleanly.

[0034] Based on the above solution, in order to adapt to chili pepper trees of different heights, an adjustment mechanism 4 is also included. The adjustment mechanism 4 is installed on the moving mechanism 1 and is connected to the harvesting mechanism 3. The adjustment mechanism 4 can adjust the installation height of the harvesting mechanism 3.

[0035] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 4 includes two side plates 41 and two locking bolts 42. The two side plates 41 are provided with a plurality of through holes 41a spaced apart. The two locking bolts 42 are respectively inserted through the two through holes 41a on the two side plates 41 and screwed into the two locking screw holes on the moving mechanism 1 to fix the two side plates 41. The picking mechanism 3 is installed between the two side plates 41. The plurality of through holes 41a are arranged along the height direction.

[0036] Specifically, the driving component 31 includes a driving motor 311 and a rotating shaft 312. The rotating shaft 312 is rotatably mounted between two side plates 41. The motor 311 is fixed to one of the side plates 41 and its output end is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 312. A plurality of mounting plates 321 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 312.

[0037] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the collecting mechanism 2 includes a collecting chamber 21, which has a collecting cavity 2a inside, and a baffle 211 on one side of the collecting chamber 21. The baffle 211 can open and close the unloading port that connects the collecting cavity 2a with the picking channel 1a.

[0038] Specifically, the collection chamber 21 includes a chamber plate 212, a bottom plate 213, a baffle 211, and a transmission rod 214. One surface of the chamber plate 212 is hinged to a slider on the moving mechanism 1. One side of the chamber plate 212 is hinged to one side of the bottom plate 213. One side of the baffle 211 is hinged to the moving mechanism 1. At least one of the transmission rods 214 is hinged to the baffle 211 and the bottom plate 213 at opposite ends, respectively. The chamber plate 212, the bottom plate 213, and the baffle 211 enclose and form the collection cavity 2a. The other side of the baffle 211 can be close to or far away from the other side of the bottom plate 213.

[0039] Understandably, the operator can pull the baffle 211 so that the other side of the baffle 211 is away from the other side of the bottom plate 213, thus opening the discharge port that connects the collection chamber 2a and the picking channel 1a. At this time, the plane where the bottom plate 213 is located is set at an angle to the horizontal plane, and the chili peppers can be discharged from the discharge port, which improves the efficiency of the operator in cleaning the chili peppers out of the collection chamber 2a.

[0040] Based on the above scheme, at least one handle is provided on the surface of the baffle 211 near the picking channel 1a. The operator can pull or push the baffle 211 by the handle, and when the operator pulls the handle, the baffle 211 can extend into the picking channel 1a.

[0041] Based on the above scheme, in order to further improve the harvesting efficiency of chili peppers, specifically, the two collection mechanisms 2 are installed on the moving mechanism 1 and located on opposite sides of the harvesting channel 1a, and the two harvesting mechanisms 3 are installed on the moving mechanism 1 and correspond to the two collection mechanisms 2 respectively; through the cooperation of the two harvesting mechanisms 3 and the two collection mechanisms 2, chili peppers on two rows of chili pepper trees can be harvested simultaneously.
