Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a harvesting device for sea buckthorn fruit, belonging to the field of sea buckthorn fruit harvesting technology. Background Technology
[0002] Sea buckthorn berries are the fruit of the sea buckthorn plant, rich in vitamins. They grow on the branches of the sea buckthorn plant. Harvesting mature berries is difficult because the branches are covered in thorns, and the berries are soft, thin-skinned, and easily broken. In Northeast China, sea buckthorn berries are typically harvested in winter. During winter, temperatures drop to -20 to -30°C, which hardens the berries, making them less prone to breakage during harvesting. Furthermore, in winter, most of the leaves on the branches have fallen, minimizing the amount of fallen leaves mixed in with the harvested berries and reducing the need for subsequent sorting. Currently, sea buckthorn growers generally still use primitive harvesting methods, such as using wooden sticks to shake the branches and knock the sea buckthorn fruit off. This method still causes the sea buckthorn fruit to crack and lose juice, reducing its commercial value. In addition, some people use vibration equipment to collect sea buckthorn fruit. That is, a thin film is laid under the sea buckthorn tree, and then the vibration machinery is used to shake the sea buckthorn fruit off onto the film. The sea buckthorn fruit is then collected and recycled by collecting the film.
[0003] After the sea buckthorn berries are harvested, the plants need to be pruned to ensure a high fruit set rate and good growth for the following year. Pruning is typically done before the berries fall off, and the decision to prune depends on the growth of the berries and the overall shape of the branches. However, the berries on the pruned branches still need to be harvested. Therefore, to address the problem of harvesting berries from pruned branches, a frozen sea buckthorn berry harvester is urgently needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a frozen sea buckthorn fruit harvester to enable rapid harvesting of frozen sea buckthorn fruits.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:
[0006] A frozen sea buckthorn fruit collector includes: a rotating base, a rotating shaft, an extension rod, and a fruit peeling mechanism. The rotating base is a circular shell. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted inside the rotating base via bearings. A hand crank is installed at one end of the rotating shaft, and an extension rod is installed at the other end of the rotating shaft. The fruit peeling mechanism is installed at the end of the extension rod.
[0007] Preferably, the extension rod is equipped with a cover, the cover encloses a release mechanism, and the cover has a release opening.
[0008] Preferably, the number of extension rods is at least two, one end of the extension rod is welded to the rotating shaft, and the other end of the extension rod is welded to the fruit peeling mechanism.
[0009] Preferably, a guide block is welded onto the rotating shaft, and the guide block is conical.
[0010] Preferably, the fruit peeling mechanism is a cylindrical shell with several threshing teeth machined on it.
[0011] Preferably, the fruit peeling mechanism includes multiple peeling racks, the end of the extension rod has a circular mounting seat, the peeling racks are elastic strip rods, and the multiple peeling racks are mounted in a circular array on the circular mounting seat with the axis of the circular mounting seat as the center, and the multiple peeling racks after installation form a "trumpet mouth" state.
[0012] Preferably, the peeling rack has peeling spikes.
[0013] Preferably, it also includes a support frame, which is mounted on the rotating seat.
[0014] Preferably, it also includes a retaining clip, which is installed at the bottom of the rotating seat.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When harvesting frozen sea buckthorn berries that are still quite hard after freezing, the hand crank can completely detach the frozen sea buckthorn berries from the branches under the rotation of the fruit-peeling mechanism. This detachment is highly efficient and does not damage the berries, preventing juice loss. This utility model also features ingenious structural design and simple operation.

[0023] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the present invention, any modifications of the present invention in various equivalent forms by those skilled in the art will fall within the scope defined by the appended claims. Specific implementation method one:
[0025] This embodiment discloses a frozen sea buckthorn fruit collector, comprising: a rotating base 1, a rotating shaft 2, an extension rod 3, and a fruit peeling mechanism 4. The rotating base 1 is a circular shell. The rotating shaft 2 is rotatably mounted inside the rotating base 1 via bearings. A hand crank 5 is installed at one end of the rotating shaft 2, and an extension rod 3 is installed at the other end of the rotating shaft 2. The fruit peeling mechanism 4 is installed at the end of the extension rod 3. A cover 6 is installed on the extension rod 3, which encloses the fruit peeling mechanism 4. A detachment opening 7 is machined on the cover 6 for discharging the threshed sea buckthorn fruits.
[0026] It should be noted that sea buckthorn berries can be harvested by cutting branches off the sea buckthorn tree. Specifically, a sickle or pruning shears can be used to cut small branches with berries attached, rather than large branches, thus achieving both pruning and harvesting.
[0027] The working principle of the frozen sea buckthorn fruit harvester is as follows:
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, in winter, the frozen sea buckthorn branches (with sea buckthorn fruits growing on the branches) are cut off and inserted into the cover 6. Then, the hand crank 5 is turned, and the sea buckthorn branches are pushed into the cover 6. The hand crank 5 drives the rotating shaft 2 and the extension rod 3 to rotate. The fruit peeling mechanism 4 installed on the extension rod 3 removes the frozen sea buckthorn fruits from the branches, thus realizing the harvesting of sea buckthorn fruits.
[0029] The fruit peeling mechanism 4 is used to peel the sea buckthorn berries from the branches, thereby enabling the harvesting of the sea buckthorn berries. The peeling mechanism may include two structures:
[0030] (1) The fruit peeling mechanism 4 is a cylindrical shell, on which several threshing teeth 9 are machined. For example Figure 2 As shown, during the rotation of the cylindrical shell, the threshing teeth 9 on the cylindrical shell separate the sea buckthorn berries from the branches. Figure 5As shown, in actual production, pliers can be used to bend the threshing teeth 9 on the cylindrical shell inward so that the threshing teeth 9 can be close to the outer wall of the branch, thereby separating the sea buckthorn fruit and improving the separation (threshing) effect of the sea buckthorn fruit.
[0031] (2) The fruit peeling mechanism 4 includes multiple peeling racks 10. The end of the extension rod 3 has a circular mounting base 11. The peeling racks 10 are elastic strip rods. The multiple peeling racks 10 are arranged in a circular array around the axis of the circular mounting base 11. Each peeling rack 10 has a peeling spike 12. After installation, the multiple peeling racks 10 form a "trumpet mouth" shape. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sea buckthorn fruit branch is inserted into the "trumpet mouth" formed by multiple peeling teeth 10. When the circular mounting base 11 rotates, the peeling teeth 10 separate the sea buckthorn fruit from the branch. The "trumpet mouth" shaped peeling teeth 10 can adapt to different thicknesses of the sea buckthorn fruit branch, and with the action of the peeling thorns 12, the sea buckthorn fruit is completely separated from the branch, leaving no residual sea buckthorn fruit that has not been separated. Specific Implementation Method Two:
[0033] like Figures 1-3 As shown, there are at least two extension rods 3. One end of the extension rod 3 is welded to the rotating shaft 2, and the other end of the extension rod 3 is welded to the fruit peeling mechanism 4.
[0034] Furthermore, a guide block 8 is welded onto the rotating shaft 2, and the guide block 8 is conical.
[0035] Because sea buckthorn branches have a certain length, to avoid them interfering with the operator's operation of the hand crank 5, an extension rod 3 is provided in this embodiment, and a guide block 8 is designed. Specifically, an outlet is formed between the extension rods 3 and 4. When a sea buckthorn branch enters the housing 6 from one end, and the sea buckthorn fruit separates from the branch, the separated branch extends from the other end of the housing 6 and enters the inside of the extension rod 3. When it touches the conical guide block 8, the branch extends out from the outlet of the extension rod 3. At this point, the branch can be picked up and placed aside. The design of the guide block 8 solves the problem of branches being difficult to discharge or requiring manual intervention even when the branches hit the rotating shaft 2, resulting in low work efficiency. Specific implementation method three:
[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 It also includes a support frame 13, which is an A-shaped bracket and is mounted on the rotating seat 1. In this configuration, the A-shaped bracket provides support for the rotating seat 1.
[0038] or Figure 7As shown, it also includes a retaining clip 14, which is installed at the bottom of the rotating base 1. With this configuration, the entire device can be held on the table by the retaining clip 14. Specific implementation method four:
[0040] In this embodiment, the proposed frozen seabuckthorn fruit collector can be used not only for collecting frozen seabuckthorn fruit, but also for collecting densely packed fruits such as jujube and wolfberry.
[0041] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims. All of these forms are within the protection scope of the present invention.
