Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of machinery technology for planting Fritillaria thunbergii, specifically relating to a device for picking flowers and topping Fritillaria thunbergii. Background Technology
[0002] The existing methods for topping the flowers of Fritillaria thunbergii mostly rely on manual harvesting by growers. Since the average height of Fritillaria thunbergii plants is 50-80cm, bending over to harvest them is indeed a difficult task for older growers.
[0003] When manually removing flowers and toppings, operators usually hold scissors directly to remove flowers and toppings from Fritillaria thunbergii. This method of operation can easily cause operator fatigue, resulting in high labor intensity for operators when removing flowers and toppings from Fritillaria thunbergii. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a device for picking and topping flowers of Fritillaria thunbergii, aiming to solve the problem of high labor intensity for operators when picking and topping flowers of Fritillaria thunbergii in the prior art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A device for picking flowers and topping Fritillaria thunbergii includes a handle, one end of which is provided with scissors, and the other end of which is provided with a grip. A drive assembly is provided between the grip and the scissors, and the grip controls the opening and closing of the scissors through the drive assembly.
[0007] The handle is also provided with a receiver, which is located at the end of the handle where the scissors are provided. The branches cut by the scissors fall into the receiver under the action of gravity.
[0008] The handle has a squeezed state and a released state. When the handle is in the squeezed state, the handle drives the shears to cut the branches through the drive component. When the handle is in the released state, the drive component automatically opens the shears.
[0009] A further improvement: A soft pad is provided on the handle, and the soft pad is provided on the end of the handle where the handle is located.
[0010] Based on the above technical solution: the pad is typically made of a soft and elastic material. These materials effectively absorb the impact between the operator's hand and the handle when using the device, reducing hand fatigue. Especially during prolonged tasks such as picking and topping Fritillaria thunbergii flowers, the pad significantly improves operator comfort and reduces muscle tension and soreness caused by holding a hard handle for extended periods. The pad also increases friction between the handle and the operator's hand, improving grip stability. A stable grip is crucial for accurate control of the shears' opening and closing during operation. The pad's anti-slip properties help the operator better control the device, reducing the possibility of misoperation, thereby improving work efficiency and safety.
[0011] A further improved solution: the soft pad is fitted onto the handle, and the soft pad is provided with a pattern to increase the friction coefficient of the soft pad.
[0012] Based on the above technical solution: the patterned design significantly increases the friction between the pad and the operator's hand. This increased friction helps prevent the device from slipping during operation due to sweaty hands or improper operation, thus improving grip stability. A stable grip means the operator can better control the device, ensuring the scissors open and close accurately and precisely. The pad itself has a cushioning effect, absorbing the impact between the hand and the handle, reducing hand fatigue. While increasing friction, the patterned design does not sacrifice the comfort of the pad, allowing the operator to maintain a good feel even during extended work periods.
[0013] A further improved solution: The drive assembly includes a mounting base mounted on the handle, a slider disposed on the mounting base, the slider being slidably connected to the mounting base, the drive assembly also includes a pull rope, one end of the pull rope being connected to the slider, the other end of the pull rope being connected to the handle, the handle driving the slider through the pull rope, and the slider driving the scissors to open and close, an elastic element between the slider and the mounting base, when the handle is in the released state, the elastic element pushes the slider back to the position when no force is applied.
[0014] Based on the above technical solution: the mounting base is securely installed on the handle, while the slider is slidably connected to the mounting base, providing the necessary mechanical foundation for the opening and closing of the scissors. One end of the pull rope is connected to the slider, and the other end is connected to the handle. When the operator grips the handle and applies pull force, the pull rope tightens, thereby driving the slider to slide on the mounting base. This pull rope transmission method is not only simple in structure but also highly efficient, capable of quickly responding to the operator's actions. Driven by the pull rope, the slider can precisely control the opening and closing of the scissors. When the slider slides to one side, it pushes the scissor blades open; when the slider slides in the opposite direction, it pushes the scissor blades close. This design ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the scissor opening and closing action. An elastic element is set between the slider and the mounting base, whose function is to push the slider back to its unforced position when the handle is released. The reset function of the elastic element allows the operator to complete continuous work more quickly without manually resetting the scissors after each use. This not only improves work efficiency but also reduces the operator's labor intensity.
[0015] A further improved solution: The scissors are rotatably connected to the mounting base. The slider is provided with a drive groove, and the scissors are also provided with a drive post that cooperates with the drive groove. The drive post is slidably connected relative to the drive groove. The drive groove is inclined. When the handle pulls the pull rope, the pull rope pulls the slider to move, causing the drive groove to drive the scissors to cut the branches through the drive post. When the handle is released, the elastic element pushes the slider to move in the opposite direction, causing the drive groove to drive the scissors to open through the drive post.
[0016] Based on the above technical solution, the drive groove on the slider and the drive column on the scissors constitute a precise mechanical linkage system. When the handle is pulled, the pull cord moves the slider, which in turn drives the scissors to perform the cutting action through the sliding connection between the drive groove and the drive column. This design ensures the accuracy and stability of the scissors' opening and closing action. The inclined design of the drive groove allows the slider to gradually change the position of the drive column during movement, thus achieving a smooth transition from opening to closing of the scissors. This design not only improves the cutting efficiency of the scissors but also reduces the impact force caused by sudden opening and closing, extending the service life of the device. When the handle is released, the elastic element quickly pushes the slider to move in the opposite direction, and the scissors automatically open through the cooperation of the drive groove and the drive column. This automatic reset function allows operators to easily perform continuous operations without manually resetting the scissors after each use. The combination of automatic reset and continuous operation capability greatly improves the operating efficiency of the Fritillaria thunbergii flower picking and topping device. Operators only need to simply pull and release the handle to achieve rapid opening and closing and cutting actions of the scissors, thus significantly reducing labor intensity.
[0017] A further improved solution: the elastic element is a spring, one end of the spring is fixed to the slider, and the other end of the spring is fixed to the mounting base.
[0018] Based on the above technical solution: the spring, as an elastic element, possesses stable elasticity and restoring force. When the handle is released, the spring can quickly push the slider to move in the opposite direction, causing the scissors to automatically open to the initial position. This stable reset function ensures the consistency and reliability of the device during continuous operation. Springs have advantages such as simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and ease of procurement and maintenance. Using a spring as the elastic element not only simplifies the overall structure of the device but also reduces manufacturing costs and improves the device's cost-effectiveness.
[0019] A further improved solution: The mounting base is provided with a groove for guiding the slider, and the slider is provided with a guide block that cooperates with the groove. The guide block and the slider are an integral structure.
[0020] Based on the above technical solution: the cooperation between the groove and the guide block provides a stable movement trajectory for the slider. During the slider's movement, the guide block always slides within the groove, effectively preventing the slider from deviating or wobbling. This stable movement trajectory ensures the accuracy and stability of the shears during the cutting process. The guide block and slider are an integral structure, meaning there are no contact surfaces with relative movement between them, thus reducing wear and friction. This design extends the service life of the slider and guide block, improving the overall durability of the device. The design of the groove and guide block is relatively simple and easy to manufacture and install. This simplified structure not only reduces manufacturing costs but also improves the reliability and maintainability of the device.
[0021] A further improved solution: The mounting base is provided with an elastic layer, the elastic layer is wrapped around the mounting base, and the elastic layer is adhered to the mounting base.
[0022] Based on the above technical solution: During the topping and pruning process, if the mounting base directly contacts the Fritillaria thunbergii, it may cause mechanical damage, such as scratches or pressure marks. The elastic layer acts like a soft protective pad, effectively isolating the mounting base from direct contact with the Fritillaria thunbergii, thus preventing mechanical damage. Operators need to pull the handle forcefully to open and close the shears. During this process, the mounting base may collide with the Fritillaria thunbergii due to inertia or improper operation. The elastic layer has good cushioning properties, absorbing these impacts and reducing impact damage to the Fritillaria thunbergii from the mounting base.
[0023] A further improved solution: The scissors include a blade, and the blade is provided with a serrated structure, the serrated structure and the blade being an integral part of each other.
[0024] Based on the above technical solution: the serrated structure design allows the scissors to more accurately position themselves when cutting the branches and leaves of Fritillaria thunbergii, reducing the possibility of accidental cuts. Simultaneously, the sharp edges of the serrations can more effectively cut the branches and leaves, improving cutting efficiency. This design is particularly suitable for delicate tasks such as flower picking and topping, ensuring that the branches and leaves of Fritillaria thunbergii are neatly cut without causing unnecessary damage to other parts. The serrated structure enhances the cutting force by increasing the cutting area and sharpness of the blade. When cutting thicker branches and leaves, the serrated structure can better grip and cut them, reducing resistance and friction during the cutting process, making the cutting action smoother and less strenuous. Although the serrated structure increases the complexity of the blade, it also reduces friction and resistance during the cutting process through its unique shape design. The concave-convex structure of the serrations can disperse force during cutting, reducing the direct contact area between the blade and the branches and leaves, thereby reducing friction and wear. This helps extend the service life of the scissors and maintain their good cutting performance.
[0025] A further improved solution: the handle has a hollow structure, and the pull rope is located inside the handle.
[0026] Based on the above technical solution: With the pull rope exposed externally, it is prone to entanglement with other objects or the operator's hands during use. This not only affects the normal operation of the device but may also pose a safety hazard to the operator. However, by placing the pull rope inside the handle, this problem is completely avoided. The pull rope travels orderly inside the handle, preventing contact with external objects and effectively preventing entanglement.
[0027] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0028] This invention achieves linkage between the handle and the scissors through a drive component. Operators can control the opening and closing of the scissors simply by squeezing or releasing the handle, eliminating the need for manual operation of the scissors themselves and significantly reducing labor intensity. A catcher is installed on the handle to directly collect the cut branches, avoiding the tedious step of bending over to pick them up, further reducing labor intensity.
[0029] The drive assembly can quickly respond to changes in the handle's state, enabling rapid opening and closing of the scissors and thus improving work speed. Because the drive assembly has an automatic reset function, the scissors automatically open when the handle is released, preparing for the next cut, allowing operators to work continuously without interruption.
[0030] The scissors can be opened and closed by squeezing and releasing the handle. The operation is simple and intuitive, and no complicated training is required to use them. Attached Figure Description

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by users of the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0039] refer to Figures 1 to 4 A device for picking flowers and topping Fritillaria thunbergii includes a handle 1, one end of which is provided with scissors 2, and the other end of which is provided with a handle 3. A drive assembly is provided between the handle 3 and the scissors 2, and the handle 3 controls the opening and closing of the scissors 2 through the drive assembly.
[0040] The handle 1 is also provided with a receiver 4, which is located at one end of the handle 1 where the scissors 2 are located. The branches cut by the scissors 2 fall into the receiver 4 under the action of gravity.
[0041] The handle 3 includes a squeezed state and a released state. When the handle 3 is in the squeezed state, the handle 3 drives the scissors 2 to cut the branches through the drive component. When the handle 3 is in the released state, the drive component automatically opens the scissors 2.
[0042] Wherein: A soft pad 5 is provided on the handle 1, and the soft pad 5 is provided on one end of the handle 1 where the handle 3 is provided. The soft pad 5 is sleeved on the handle 1, and the soft pad 5 is provided with a pattern to increase the friction coefficient of the soft pad 5. The pattern can be arranged in a grid pattern on the soft pad 5, and the pattern can be raised or recessed into the soft pad 5.
[0043] Specifically: The drive assembly includes a mounting base 6 installed on the handle 1, a slider on the mounting base 6, and the slider slidably connected to the mounting base 6. The drive assembly also includes a pull rope 7, one end of which is connected to the slider, and the other end of which is connected to the handle 3. The handle 3 drives the slider through the pull rope 7, and the slider drives the scissors 2 to open and close. An elastic element 8 is connected between the slider and the mounting base 6. When the handle 3 is in a released state, the elastic element 8 pushes the slider back to its unloaded position. The mounting base 6 can be connected to the handle 1 in any way. For example, the mounting base 6 can be directly welded to the handle 1.
[0044] Specifically: the scissors 2 are rotatably connected to the mounting base 6. The slider has a drive groove, and the scissors 2 also has a drive post that cooperates with the drive groove. The drive post is slidably connected relative to the drive groove, which is inclined. When the handle 3 pulls the pull rope 7, the pull rope 7 pulls the slider, causing the drive groove to drive the scissors 2 to cut the branches via the drive post. When the handle 3 is released, the elastic element 8 pushes the slider to move in the opposite direction, causing the drive groove to drive the scissors 2 to open via the drive post. The elastic element 8 is a spring, one end of which is fixed to the slider, and the other end is fixed to the mounting base 6. One end of the spring can be welded to the slider, and the other end can be welded to the mounting base 6.
[0045] Specifically: the mounting base 6 is provided with a groove for guiding the slider, and the slider is provided with a guide block that cooperates with the groove; the guide block and the slider are an integral structure. An elastic layer is provided on the mounting base 6, covering the outside of the mounting base 6 and adhered to it. The elastic layer can be a relatively soft layered material such as a sponge layer.
[0046] Specifically: The scissors 2 include a blade with a serrated structure, which is integral with the blade. The handle 1 is hollow, and the pull cord 7 is disposed inside the handle 1. The receiver 4 can be a receiving net, which can be hung on the mounting base 6, or it can be tied to the mounting base 6. The handle 3 can be mounted on the handle 1 via a pivot. The handle 3 can be wound around the pull cord 7, or the handle 3 can directly pull the pull cord 7.
[0047] The working principle of this embodiment:
[0048] The operator first holds the handle 1 of the device, ensuring that the shears 2 are aligned with the Fritillaria thunbergii branch to be cut. The receiver 4 is located at one end of the shears 2 on the handle 1, ready to receive the cut branch.
[0049] The operator squeezes handle 3 to change it from a loose to a squeezed state. During the squeezing process, handle 3 transmits force through the drive assembly, driving the shears 2 to close and cut the branch. The cut branch falls naturally into the receiver 4 under gravity, completing the collection.
[0050] When the operator releases handle 3, the drive assembly automatically activates, causing the scissors 2 to open and return to their initial position. At this point, the device is ready for the next cutting operation.
[0051] This utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned optional embodiments. Under the premise of non-contradiction, the various solutions can be combined arbitrarily. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the guidance of this utility model. However, regardless of any changes made in their shape or structure, all technical solutions that fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
