Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of olive harvesting technology, specifically a harvesting device for olive cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] As one of the world's four major woody oilseed economic tree species, olive trees are not only high in oil content, but also rich in bioactive substances such as monounsaturated fatty acids, polyphenols, and flavonoids. They have important nutritional and medicinal value. Olive cultivation in my country started relatively late, and the yield is not high with obvious alternate bearing, which means that my country needs to import a large amount of olive oil from abroad every year, resulting in a very high dependence on foreign countries.
[0003] Currently, there are two main methods for harvesting olives in production: one is harvesting by knocking with bamboo poles, a traditional, simple, and labor-saving method, suitable only for fruits that are processed immediately after harvesting. Direct knocking causes mechanical damage as the fruit falls from a height, resulting in significant leaf and branch breakage. The second method is manual harvesting, also a traditional method. This method effectively protects the tree and fruit from damage, preventing excessive leaf and branch breakage, and the fruit can be used for preservation and storage. However, it is labor-intensive, inefficient, and costly.
[0004] A Chinese patent discloses an olive harvesting device (authorization announcement number CN212728092U). This patented technology can harvest olives from high places on the ground without climbing trees or using bamboo poles to knock them down. It can cut multiple fruits at once, eliminating the need to pick them one by one, thus effectively improving harvesting efficiency.
[0005] However, it has certain drawbacks: olive trees are generally 4-5 meters tall, so the operating pole is also quite long. Although it can be operated on the ground, the pole is too long, resulting in a large overall volume, which is extremely inconvenient to carry and store. Especially during the off-season or during transportation, the long pole is difficult to fold or retract, taking up a lot of space. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a harvesting device for olive cultivation to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A harvesting device for olive cultivation includes a support tube one, a pressure rod that is slidably connected through the left side surface of the support tube one near the lower end, and a support tube two that is movably connected inside the support tube one. An L-shaped plate is fixed to the upper end of the left side surface of the support tube two. The horizontal section of the L-shaped plate has multiple slots that extend from the middle to the left end from front to back, and a shearing mechanism is provided on the right side surface of the vertical section of the L-shaped plate above the support tube two.
[0009] An adjustment mechanism is provided on the upper right side surface of both the first and second support tubes. The adjustment mechanism includes a C-shaped seat.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the pawl is attached to the ratchet, and the rear ends of the fixing block and the fixing rod are both fixed to the front surface of the C-shaped seat.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This invention achieves the dual advantages of flexible length adjustment and convenient storage by using a separate structure of support tube one and support tube two combined with an adjustment mechanism. The one-way locking mechanism of ratchet and pawl ensures stable and reliable length during operation, allowing the operator to quickly adjust to the desired height simply by pulling support tube two. The combined design of a slotted comb-type positioning and a pull-rope traction-based cutter allows for precise insertion into branches and efficient cutting. The automatic reset function of spring one enhances operational continuity. After harvesting, unlocking the pawl allows support tube two to automatically retract into support tube one, significantly reducing the equipment's size and solving the problem of inconvenient carrying and storage of traditional high-branch harvesting tools. The overall structure is compact, labor-saving, and highly adaptable. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2In this embodiment of the present invention, a harvesting device for olive cultivation includes a support tube 1. A pressure rod 2 is slidably connected through the left side surface of the support tube 1 near its lower end. A second support tube 3 is movably connected inside the support tube 1. An L-shaped plate 4 is fixedly attached to the upper end of the left side surface of the second support tube 3. The horizontal section of the L-shaped plate 4 has multiple slots 5 extending from the middle to the left end. A shearing mechanism 6 is provided on the right side surface of the vertical section of the L-shaped plate 4 above the second support tube 3. The shearing mechanism 6 includes a T-shaped rod 7. A linkage rod 8 is movably connected inside the upper end of the vertical section of the T-shaped rod 7. A cutter 9 is rotatably connected to the left end of the linkage rod 8. The lower surface of the cutter 9 movably fits against the upper surface of the horizontal section of the L-shaped plate 4, cutting... The right end of the blade 9 is rotatably connected to a support shaft 10. The lower end of the support shaft 10 is fixed to the upper surface of the horizontal section of the L-shaped plate 4. The lower end of the vertical section of the T-shaped rod 7 is rotatably connected to a hinge seat 11. The lower end of the hinge seat 11 is fixed to a support plate 12. The left end of the support plate 12 is fixed to the right side surface of the vertical section of the L-shaped plate 4. The lower surface of the horizontal section of the T-shaped rod 7 and the upper surface of the support plate 12 are both fixed to support blocks 13. The two support blocks 13 are movably sleeved together on the outside of the two support blocks 13. The lower surface of the horizontal section of the T-shaped rod 7 is located on the right side of the support block 13 and a pull rope 15 is fixed to it. The pull rope 15 is movably located inside the support tube 1 and the support tube 2, and one end of the pull rope 15 is fixed to the end of the pressure rod 2 located inside the support tube 1.
[0023] The slot 5 is engaged on the outside of the olive fruit branch (similar to the operation of combing hair), so that the olive fruit is located below the horizontal section of the L-shaped plate 4.
[0024] In the initial state, the cutter 9 is located behind the last side slot 5, and it can pass through all the slots 5 when it rotates;
[0025] When the support tube 2 3 moves to the top, the entire harvesting equipment is at its longest length. At this time, the pressure rod 2 is at its highest position, the pull rope 15 is taut, and the spring 14 is relaxed.
[0026] Pressing down the lever 2 pulls down the horizontal section of the T-shaped rod 7 via the pull rope 15, causing the T-shaped rod 7 to rotate around the hinge seat 11 and compress the spring 14. The linkage rod 8 then pulls the cutter 9, causing the cutter 9 to rotate forward around the support shaft 10, thereby cutting the olive fruit branches.
[0027] The support block 13 is long enough that the compressed spring 14 will not pop out from the outside of the two support blocks 13.
[0028] exist Figures 1-4In the middle section: An adjustment mechanism 16 is jointly provided on the upper right side surface of support tube 1 and support tube 3. The adjustment mechanism 16 includes a C-shaped seat 17. The left end of the C-shaped seat 17 is fixed to the upper right side surface of support tube 1. A rack 18 is slidably connected to the inner left side surface of the C-shaped seat 17 in the vertical direction. A fixing plate 19 is fixed to the upper end of the rack 18. The left end of the fixing plate 19 is fixed to the upper right side surface of support tube 3. A rotating rod 20 is rotatably connected through the front surface of the C-shaped seat 17. A gear 21 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod 20 inside the C-shaped seat 17. Gear 21 is located on the right side of rack 18 and is meshed with rack 18. Ratchet 22 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of rotating rod 20 in front of C-shaped seat 17. Adjusting component 23 is provided on the front surface of C-shaped seat 17 above rotating rod 20. Adjusting component 23 includes spring 24. Fixed block 25 is fixedly connected to the upper end of spring 24 and pawl 26 is fixedly connected to the lower end of spring 24. Pawl 26 is attached to ratchet 22. Fixed rod 27 is movably connected to the left end of pawl 26. The rear ends of fixed block 25 and fixed rod 27 are both fixedly connected to the front surface of C-shaped seat 17.
[0029] Pad 26 engages with ratchet 22, allowing ratchet 22 and lever 20 to rotate clockwise normally but not counterclockwise. Pulling pad 26 away from ratchet 22 allows ratchet 22 and lever 20 to rotate counterclockwise.
[0030] When the second support tube 3 moves upward, the rack 18 moves upward and drives the gear 21 and the rotating rod 20 to rotate clockwise. When the length of the entire harvesting equipment needs to be increased, simply pull the second support tube 3 upward. When the length of the entire harvesting equipment needs to be shortened (restored), simply pull the pawl 26 away from the ratchet 22. Under the action of gravity, the second support tube 3 will drive the rack 18 to move downward until it is completely retracted into the interior of the first support tube 1.
[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the device is first adjusted to its longest position by adjusting mechanism 16. The operator pulls the support tube 2 3 upward to move the rack 18 upward, driving gear 21 and rotating rod 20 to rotate clockwise. At this time, ratchet 22 and pawl 26 lock the length. When picking, the operator holds the support tube 1 and drives the slot 5 on the L-shaped plate 4 to engage the olive branch. The operator presses down the pressure rod 2 and pulls the T-shaped rod 7 around the hinge seat 11 through the pull rope 15. The linkage rod 8 then pulls the cutter 9 to swing forward around the support shaft 10. The spring 14 is compressed, and the cutter 9 cuts the branch. After releasing the pressure rod 2, the spring 14 pushes the T-shaped rod 7 to reset and drives the cutter 9 back to its position. After picking, the pawl 26 is pulled to disengage from the ratchet 22, and the support tube 2 3 retracts into the support tube 1 under the action of gravity, thus shortening the length of the device for easy storage.
