Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cherry blossom harvesting technology, specifically a harvesting device for western cherry blossom shrubs. Background Technology

[0002] Western sand cherry (Prunus cerasifera var. spp.) is a plant belonging to the Rosaceae family and the Prunus genus. It is a deciduous shrub and a relatively excellent economic forest tree species. It is also an ornamental shrub with flowers and fruits, suitable for landscaping and can be used as rootstock for grafting peach, plum, and apricot trees. It can be used to create ecological forests such as windbreak and sand-fixing forests, soil and water conservation forests, and water source conservation forests. The fruits of the western sand cherry are large, delicious, and rich in vitamins, fruit acids, amino acids, and other essential nutrients, and can be used to make juice, jam, and wine. However, harvesting the western sand cherry fruits is labor-intensive and time-consuming because the fruits grow in clusters on the shrub, requiring many individual pickings and easily damaging the fruits. Therefore, we propose a western sand cherry shrub fruit-harvesting device. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fruit-harvesting device for western sand cherry shrubs to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] A harvesting device for western sand cherry shrubs includes a fruit-receiving box and diagonal pliers. The fruit-receiving box consists of two semi-circular box bodies symmetrically connected together, forming a circular fruit-receiving box after being spliced ​​together. One end of the two box bodies is connected by a hinge, allowing them to rotate relative to each other. The other end of the two box bodies is connected by a locking buckle. A semi-circular first set of rod grooves is provided inward at the center of the flat side of each semi-circular box body. The two semi-circular first set of rod grooves on the box bodies merge to form a circular hole. A mesh plate is also provided on the upper outer side of the box body, with the mesh size of the mesh plate being smaller than that of the western sand cherry fruit. Two pairs of connecting blocks are symmetrically arranged on the inner sides of the two handles of the diagonal pliers. The inner side of each connecting block is provided with a semi-circular second set of rod grooves. The radii of the second set of rod grooves on the two pairs of connecting blocks are different, and the two second set of rod grooves form a circular groove after each pair of connecting blocks is closed.

[0005] Preferably, each of the boxes is provided with two casters at the lower end to facilitate the movement of the fruit receiving box.

[0006] Preferably, the latch includes a collar and a pin respectively connected to the two housings. The pin is inserted into the two collars from top to bottom, and the latch can be opened and locked by inserting and removing the pin.

[0007] Preferably, the jaws of the diagonal pliers are at a 90-degree angle, which facilitates the cutting of the tail of the fruit.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0009] When harvesting the fruit, open the two boxes of the fruit collection box and place the first set of rod grooves on the semi-circular part of the two boxes onto the bottom of the branches of the western sand cherry shrub. Then, secure the two boxes with the locking buckle. When harvesting the western sand cherry fruit, you can use diagonal pliers to cut off the tail of the fruit in a cluster, or place the second set of rod grooves on the connecting blocks on the inside of the two handles of the diagonal pliers onto the shrub branch and slide them up and down to press off the tail of the fruit on the branch. The fallen fruit and tail fall directly into the fruit collection box under the western sand cherry shrub.

[0010] This invention allows for the rapid harvesting of clusters of western sand cherry fruits, which fall directly into a fruit collection box. The collection box enables quick collection, significantly improving efficiency compared to traditional manual fruit picking. Furthermore, fruits with retained stems can have their storage period extended. When it is necessary to remove the stem, the stem can be passed through the mesh of the mesh plate and pulled forcefully to separate the fruit from the stem. Attached Figure Description

[0016] 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.

[0017] See Figures 1-4A fruit-harvesting device for a western sand cherry shrub includes a fruit-receiving box 1 and diagonal clamps 2. The fruit-receiving box 1 is composed of two semi-circular box bodies 11 symmetrically connected, forming a circular fruit-receiving box 1 after being spliced ​​together. Each box body 11 has two casters 16 at its lower end for easy movement. One end of the two box bodies 11 is connected by a hinge 12, allowing them to rotate relative to each other. The other ends of the two box bodies 11 are connected by a latch 13, which includes a collar 132 and a pin 131 respectively connected to the two box bodies 11. The pin 131 is inserted into the two collars 132 from top to bottom, and the latch 13 is opened and closed by inserting and removing the pin 131. Opening and locking; a semi-circular first rod groove 14 is provided inward at the center of the flat side of the semi-circular box 11. The semi-circular first rod grooves 14 on the two boxes 11 are combined to form a circular hole. A mesh plate 15 is also provided on the upper outer side of the box 11. The mesh of the mesh plate 15 is smaller than that of the western sand cherry fruit. The jaws of the diagonal pliers 2 are at a 90-degree angle, which facilitates the diagonal pliers 2 to cut the tail of the fruit. Two pairs of connecting blocks 21 are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the two handles of the diagonal pliers 2. A semi-circular second rod groove 211 is provided on the inner side of the connecting block 21. The radii of the second rod grooves 211 of the two pairs of connecting blocks 21 are different, and the two second rod grooves 211 form a circular groove after each pair of connecting blocks 21 is closed.

[0018] Working principle: When harvesting the fruit, open the two boxes 11 of the fruit collection box 1, and put the first set of rod grooves 14 of the two boxes 11 on the bottom of the branches of the western sand cherry shrub. Then, fix the two boxes 11 with the lock 13. When harvesting the western sand cherry fruit, the tail of the fruit in a cluster can be cut off directly with the diagonal pliers 2, or the second set of rod grooves 211 of the connecting blocks 21 on the inside of the two handles of the diagonal pliers 2 can be put on the branches of the shrub and slide up and down to press off the tail of the fruit on the branches. The fallen fruit and tail fall directly into the fruit collection box 1 under the western sand cherry shrub for collection.
