[0002] Pruning camellia trees is an important part of scientific management. Reasonable pruning can not only improve yield and fruit quality, but also extend the peak fruiting period. When pruning camellia trees, the top branches should be pruned to avoid the tree from being too tall, which makes it easier to manage and harvest. It can also stimulate the growth of lateral branches, making the tree structure more uniform and increasing the fruiting area.
[0003] Currently, when pruning the branches at the top of camellia trees, manual shears or hydraulically driven saws are mainly used for manual pruning. This method is not only labor-intensive and time-consuming, but also makes it difficult to accurately control the pruning effect, resulting in uneven heights of the pruned camellia trees and affecting the fruit production of camellia trees.

[0030] The trimming mechanism 6 includes a mounting platform 62 installed at the end of the movable table 53, and a trimming blade 63 driven by a drive motor 61 is installed at the bottom of the mounting platform 62.
[0031] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 An extension platform 51 is installed at the end of the mounting arm 4, and a movable platform 53 is movably connected to the upper end of the extension platform 51. A servo cylinder 52 is embedded at the end of the mounting arm 4, and the output rod of the servo cylinder 52 is fixedly connected to the movable platform 53.
[0032] Furthermore, the end of the extension platform 51 is provided with a limiting slot 511, and the bottom of the movable platform 53 is provided with a mounting bracket 66. On the side of the mounting bracket 66 near the extension platform 51, a positioning slide rod 65 that is symmetrically connected to the limiting slot 511 is installed.
[0033] Specifically, due to the different planting intervals of camellia trees, the position of the pruning blade 63 can be adjusted by activating the telescopic cylinder according to the planting interval. The telescopic cylinder drives the movable table 53 to move, and the movable table 53 drives the pruning mechanism 6 to move so that the pruning blade 63 is aligned with the camellia tree.

In addition, the sides of the protection boxes are equipped with heat dissipation slots, which will prevent the motor from overheating and being damaged.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] Based on the above embodiment 1, please refer to the appendix. Figures 1-3 The upper surface of the mobile seat 1 is equipped with an upward-facing lifting hydraulic cylinder 2. The output end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting platform 3. Positioning cylinders 13 are symmetrically installed on the upper surface of the mobile seat 1, and positioning columns 31 that are movably connected to the lifting cylinders are symmetrically installed on the bottom of the lifting platform 3.
[0038] In this embodiment, the lifting hydraulic cylinder 2 drives the lifting platform 3 to move upward, the lifting platform 3 drives the mounting arm 4 to move upward, the mounting arm 4 drives the trimming mechanism 6 to move upward, and the trimming blade 63 in the trimming mechanism 6 stops after moving upward to the predetermined trimming height, so that the position of the trimming blade 63 is fixed.
[0039] Example 3
[0040] Based on the above embodiments, please refer to the appendix. Figure 4 The front end of the mounting arm 4 is equipped with a rotating platform 41 that is rotatably connected to the upper end of the lifting platform 3. The bottom of the lifting platform 3 is symmetrically equipped with an upward-facing rotating motor 42. The output shaft of the rotating motor 42 passes through the lifting platform 3 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating platform 41.
[0041] In this embodiment, during the pruning operation, the rotary motor 42 is started, which drives the rotating table 41 to rotate. The rotating table 41 drives the mounting arm 4 to rotate 90° to open, so that the device can prune the camellia trees on both sides at the same time. After the pruning is completed, the rotary motor 42 is started to rotate the mounting arm 4 to close it, reducing the footprint of the device and making it convenient for transportation and parking.
[0042] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0043] When in use, push the mobile seat 1 to the camellia tree, so that the planted camellia trees are located on both sides of the mobile seat 1. Start the lifting hydraulic cylinder 2 according to actual needs. The lifting hydraulic cylinder 2 drives the lifting platform 3 to move upward. The lifting platform 3 drives the mounting arm 4 to move upward. The mounting arm 4 drives the pruning mechanism 6 to move upward. Stop when the pruning blade 63 in the pruning mechanism 6 moves upward to the predetermined pruning height.
[0044] Then start the rotary motor 42, which drives the rotary table 41 to rotate, and the rotary table 41 drives the mounting arm 4 to rotate 90° (e.g., ...). Figure 2 (As shown) Open, at this time start the drive motor 61, drive motor 61 drives the pruning blade 63 to rotate, and push the moving seat 1 forward by controlling the push rod 11. The pruning blade 63 prunes the branches at the top of the camellia trees along the way, and the camellia trees are of uniform height after pruning.
[0045] Depending on the planting interval of the camellia trees, the telescopic cylinder can be activated, which drives the movable platform 53 to move. The movable platform 53 then drives the pruning mechanism 6 to move so that the pruning blades 63 are aligned with the camellia trees.
[0046] After trimming, start the rotary motor 42 to rotate and reset the mounting arms 4, so that the two mounting arms 4 face forward to reduce the footprint. Then, control the lifting hydraulic cylinder 2 to close, causing the lifting platform 3 to move downward and reset to its original position. Figure 1 At the lowest point (as shown), the mobile seat 1 can be moved to the storage location for safekeeping.
