Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit handling technology, specifically a protective device for handling fruit in orchards. Background Technology
[0002] After the fruit in the orchard reaches maturity, it needs to be harvested. The ripe fruit is picked from the tree and placed in storage baskets. Then, the storage baskets need to be transported to the storage room. Traditionally, the handling of fruit storage baskets is mostly done manually. The storage baskets are lifted high and carried onto the transport vehicle before being transported. Manually carrying the storage baskets onto the transport vehicle is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. Secondly, because the side frames of traditional transport vehicles are relatively low, when multiple layers of storage baskets are stacked, the upper layer of storage baskets will protrude from the side frames. During subsequent transportation, the storage baskets may tip over due to ground bumps, causing damage to the fruit. To address these issues, we propose a protective device for handling fruit in orchards. Utility Model Content

[0024] Example: Figure 1-6As shown, this utility model provides a protective device for transporting fruit in an orchard, including a first longitudinal frame 1 and a second longitudinal frame 2. The first longitudinal frame 1 has two symmetrically distributed members, and the second longitudinal frame 2 has two symmetrically distributed members. A first connecting rod 3 is provided between the two first longitudinal frames 1 and between the two second longitudinal frames 2. A second connecting rod 4 is provided between the first longitudinal frame 1 and the second longitudinal frame 2 on the same side. Two first mounting cylinders 11 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the first longitudinal frame 1 and the second longitudinal frame 2. The two first mounting cylinders 11 are arranged vertically. The ends of the first connecting rods 3 and the second connecting rods 4 are respectively fixedly installed in the corresponding first mounting cylinders 11 to install and fix the first connecting rods 3 and the second connecting rods 4 to the first longitudinal frame 1 and the second longitudinal frame 2.
[0025] A support base 31 is fixedly installed between the two first connecting rods 3 and the two second connecting rods 4. The support base 31 is used to support the storage basket. Two first guide members 5 are symmetrically distributed on the outer side of each of the second connecting rods 4. A second guide member 6 is provided on the outer side of one of the first connecting rods 3. The bottom of the first longitudinal frame 1 and the second longitudinal frame 2 are both fixedly installed with wheels 7. A mounting cross frame 8 is vertically installed on the two first longitudinal frames 1 on the side away from the second guide member 6. A mounting rod 81 is fixedly installed on the mounting cross frame 8. A mounting seat 9 is fixedly installed on the mounting rod 81. By setting the mounting seat 9, the entire protective device can be installed on an external tractor mechanism. The external tractor mechanism can then drive the entire protective device to move automatically in the orchard.
[0026] The first guide member 5 includes two symmetrically distributed mounting brackets 51. One end of the mounting bracket 51 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the second connecting rod 4 to facilitate the rotation of the first guide member 5. A plurality of evenly distributed guide crossbars 52 are vertically mounted between the two mounting brackets 51. A plurality of evenly distributed rolling sleeves 521 are rotatably mounted on the outside of each guide crossbar 52 to facilitate the rotation of the rolling sleeves 52 on the outside of the guide crossbars 52. An auxiliary rod 53 is vertically mounted on the end of the mounting bracket 51 away from the second connecting rod 4. An mounting sleeve 54 is fixedly mounted on the end of the auxiliary rod 53 away from the mounting bracket 51. A mounting bracket 541 corresponding to the mounting sleeve 54 is fixedly mounted on the top of the first longitudinal frame 1. The mounting sleeve 54 is movably sleeved on the top of the first longitudinal frame 1. A mounting bolt 542 is threaded between the mounting sleeve 54 and the corresponding mounting bracket 541 to install and fix the first guide member 5 and the first longitudinal frame 1.
[0027] When moving the storage basket, rotate the first guide 5 so that one end of the first guide 5 contacts the ground. At this time, the first guide 5 forms a slope. Simply place the storage basket on the first guide 5 manually and push the storage basket through the multiple rolling sleeves 521 on the first guide 5 to move it. The storage basket can be easily transported to the support base 31 for easy handling.
[0028] The structure of the second guide member 6 is the same as that of the first guide member 5. The second guide member 6 is rotatably mounted on the outside of one of the first connecting rods 3 via two mounting brackets 51. The installation method of the second guide member 6 and the second longitudinal frame 2 is the same as that of the first guide member 5 and the first longitudinal frame 1. The storage basket can also be transported to the support base frame 31 via the second guide member 6 in the same way, so as to easily move the storage basket.
[0029] Multiple connecting brackets 10 are evenly distributed between two adjacent first guide members 5. The two ends of the connecting brackets 10 are respectively fixedly installed on the mounting brackets 51 in the corresponding first guide members 5 to install and fix the two adjacent first guide members 5.
[0030] A first stabilizing base rod 12 is vertically installed at the bottom between the two first longitudinal frames 1 and at the bottom between the two second longitudinal frames 2. A second stabilizing base rod 13 is vertically installed at the bottom between adjacent first longitudinal frames 1 and second longitudinal frames 2, which increases the stability between the two first longitudinal frames 1 and second longitudinal frames 2.
[0031] Working principle: The entire protective device is installed on the external tractor mechanism via the mounting base 9. When transporting the storage basket, rotate the first guide guard 5 so that one end of the first guide guard 5 contacts the ground. At this time, the first guide guard 5 forms a slope. Simply place the storage basket on the first guide guard 5 manually and push the storage basket to move through the multiple rolling sleeves 521 on the first guide guard 5. The storage basket is then easily transported to the support base frame 31 for easy handling.
[0032] The storage basket can also be transported to the support frame 31 via the second guide 6 in the same way, making it easy to move the storage basket.
[0033] Until the storage basket is completely transported onto the support base 31, the first guide 5 and the second guide 6 are rotated in the opposite direction again to make them vertical. At this time, the mounting brackets 54 in the first guide 5 and the second guide 6 are movably fitted onto the top of the corresponding first vertical frame 1 and the second vertical frame 2, and contact the corresponding mounting brackets 541. The first guide 5 and the first vertical frame 1 are fixed by using mounting bolts 542, thereby fixing the first guide 5 and the second guide 6 to the first vertical frame 1 and the second vertical frame 2. In this way, the storage basket can be protected from the sides by the vertical first guide 5 and the second guide 6 to prevent the storage basket from tipping over and damaging the fruit during subsequent bumpy transportation.
[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
