Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camellia fruit harvesting, specifically a camellia fruit harvesting device. Background Technology

[0002] Camellia oleifera fruit, the fruit of the camellia oleifera tree, is a spherical or oval capsule. It is rich in nutrients such as unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E, and has various benefits including anti-oxidation, lowering blood lipids, and improving blood circulation. Camellia oleifera fruit can not only be used to extract high-quality edible oil—camellia oil—but also plays an important role in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, making it a fruit of great economic and practical value.

[0003] Camellia oleifera fruits need to be harvested manually. While manual harvesting is feasible, it requires selecting ripe fruits. Furthermore, due to the large number of fruits on each camellia oleifera tree, manual harvesting is inefficient. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a camellia fruit harvesting device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a camellia fruit harvesting device, comprising a housing, a hollow rod fixedly disposed on one side of the housing, a movable rod slidably disposed inside the hollow rod, a U-shaped block fixedly disposed on one side of the movable rod, an electric push rod fixedly disposed on one side of the U-shaped block, a handle fixedly disposed at the top of the housing, a fixed ring fixedly disposed on one side of the movable rod, a collar movably sleeved on the outside of the fixed ring, a connecting rod fixedly disposed on one side of the collar, a fixed rod fixedly disposed inside the housing, a rotating shaft movably embedded in the fixed rod, a turntable fixedly disposed on one side of the rotating shaft, an extension shaft fixedly disposed on one side of the turntable, and a mechanism on the housing for facilitating the rotation of the turntable. The mechanism involves attaching a U-shaped block to the main trunk of the camellia tree to be harvested, then activating an electric push rod to close one side of the U-shaped block, thus securing the main trunk. The power mechanism then rotates a turntable, causing the extension shaft to follow. This movement, via a connecting rod and collar, pulls a movable rod along the hollow trunk. The turntable's rotation causes the movable rod to reciprocate along the hollow trunk, further reciprocating the U-shaped block and causing the camellia tree to shake rapidly. This causes the ripe camellia fruits to fall from the tree, allowing for easy collection. A collection mat can be laid on the ground near the planted camellia trees during harvesting, enabling rapid collection of the fallen fruits without the need for manual picking, significantly improving harvesting efficiency.

[0006] Preferably, the power mechanism includes a motor and a battery. The motor is fixed to one side of the fixed rod, the output end of the motor is fixed to one side of the rotating shaft, and the battery is fixed to one side of the housing. When in use, the motor is started, and the motor drives the turntable to rotate through the rotating shaft. The device is powered by the battery.

[0007] Preferably, one side of the electric push rod extends movably to the inside of the U-shaped block.

[0008] Preferably, the handle is covered with a soft pad.

[0009] Preferably, one side of the connecting rod is movably sleeved on the outside of the extension shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the motor and electric push rod are electrically connected to the battery.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] In use, this invention involves fitting a U-shaped block onto the main stem of the camellia tree to be harvested. Then, the electric push rod is activated, closing one side of the U-shaped block and fixing the main stem. The power mechanism is then activated to rotate the turntable, causing the extension shaft to follow. The connecting rod and collar pull the movable rod along the hollow rod. Due to the turntable's rotation, the movable rod reciprocates along the hollow rod, causing the U-shaped block to reciprocate, resulting in rapid shaking of the camellia tree. This causes the mature camellia fruits to fall from the tree, allowing for easy collection. A collection mat can be laid on the ground near the planted camellia trees during harvesting, enabling quick collection of the fallen fruits without the need for manual picking, significantly improving harvesting efficiency.

[0017] 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.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a camellia fruit harvesting device, including a housing 1. A hollow rod 3 is welded and fixed to one side of the housing 1. A movable rod 4 slides inside the hollow rod 3. A U-shaped block 5 is fixed to one side of the movable rod 4 by bolts. An electric push rod 6 is fixed to one side of the U-shaped block 5 by a mounting bracket. One side of the electric push rod 6 extends movably to the inside of the U-shaped block 5. A handle 2 is fixed to the top of the housing 1 by bolts. A soft pad is wrapped around the outside of the handle 2. A fixing ring 7 is welded and fixed to one side of the movable rod 4. A collar 8 is movably sleeved on the outside of the fixing ring 7. A connecting rod 9 is welded and fixed to one side of the collar 8. A fixing rod 11 is welded and fixed inside the housing 1. A rotating shaft 13 is movably embedded in the fixing rod 11. A turntable 12 is fixed to one side of the rotating shaft 13 by bolts. An extension shaft 10 is welded and fixed to one side of the turntable 12. One side of the connecting rod 9 is movably sleeved on the outside of the extension shaft 10. The device has a power mechanism that facilitates the rotation of the turntable 12. In use, the U-shaped block 5 is fitted onto the main stem of the camellia tree to be harvested. Then, the electric push rod 6 is activated, causing one side of the electric push rod 6 to close the other side of the U-shaped block 5. At this time, the main stem of the camellia tree is fitted and fixed. The power mechanism is then activated to drive the turntable 12 to rotate, causing the extension shaft 10 to rotate with the turntable 12. Through the connecting rod 9 and the collar 8, the movable rod 4 is pulled to move along the hollow rod 3. As the turntable 12 rotates, the movable rod 4 reciprocates along the hollow rod 3, causing the U-shaped block 5 to reciprocate, making the camellia tree shake rapidly. This causes the mature camellia fruits to fall from the camellia tree due to the shaking, which can then be collected. A collection mat can be laid on the ground where the camellia trees are planted during harvesting, which can quickly collect the fallen camellia fruits without the need for manual picking, greatly improving harvesting efficiency.

[0019] The power mechanism includes a motor 14 and a battery 15. The motor 14 is fixed to one side of the fixed rod 11 by a mounting bracket. The output end of the motor 14 is fixed to one side of the rotating shaft 13 by a coupling. The battery 15 is fixed to one side of the housing 1 by bolts. When in use, the motor 14 is started, and the motor 14 drives the turntable 12 to rotate through the rotating shaft 13. The device is powered by the battery 15.

[0020] Working principle: When in use, the U-shaped block 5 is fitted onto the main stem of the camellia tree to be harvested. Then, the electric push rod 6 is activated, so that one side of the electric push rod 6 closes the other side of the U-shaped block 5. At this time, the main stem of the camellia tree is fitted and fixed. Then, the power mechanism is activated to drive the turntable 12 to rotate, so that the extension shaft 10 follows the turntable 12 to rotate. Through the connecting rod 9 and the collar 8, the movable rod 4 is pulled to move along the hollow rod 3. As the turntable 12 rotates, the movable rod 4 moves back and forth along the hollow rod 3, which drives the U-shaped block 5 to move back and forth, so that the camellia tree shakes quickly. The mature camellia fruits fall off the camellia tree due to the shaking. The collection work can be carried out in this way. During the harvest, a collection mat can be laid on the ground where the camellia tree is planted. This way, the fallen camellia fruits can be collected quickly without the need for manual picking, which greatly improves the harvesting efficiency.
