[0022] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0023] This utility model embodiment provides a rock sugar orange fruit thinning machine, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the rock sugar orange thinning machine includes: a base 1; a mounting shell 2 disposed on the base 1; a mounting rod 3 fixedly mounted on the mounting shell 2, wherein a hook 4 is fixedly mounted on the mounting rod 3 for hooking the rock sugar orange tree branches; and a thinning mechanism assembled on the base 1 and the mounting shell 2, wherein the thinning mechanism is used to drive the rock sugar orange tree branches hooked by the hook 4 to vibrate and thin the fruit.

[0024] In this embodiment, when thinning the fruit on the planted sugar orange trees, hooks 4 are used to hook the branches of the sugar orange trees. Then, the thinning mechanism is activated through the control panel on the base 1. The thinning mechanism causes the hooked branches of the sugar orange trees to vibrate, causing some fruits to fall off, thereby realizing the fruit thinning operation on the sugar orange trees. This concentrates nutrients, allowing the remaining sugar orange fruits to better absorb nutrients and grow better. Through the entire device, fruit thinning can be carried out on the planted sugar orange trees, concentrating nutrients, allowing the remaining sugar oranges to better absorb nutrients and grow better, and the fruit thinning efficiency is high.

[0025] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fruit thinning mechanism includes: a mounting base 5 disposed in the base 1; a servo motor 6 fixedly mounted on the mounting base 5, wherein a protrusion 7 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the servo motor 6, the protrusion 7 being used to squeeze the mounting shell 2, and the compressed mounting shell 2 being reset by a reset mechanism.

[0026] In this embodiment, when in use, the hook 4 is used to hook the branches of the sugar orange tree, the servo motor 6 is started, and its output shaft drives the protrusion 7 to rotate. The protrusion 7 squeezes the mounting shell 2. The compressed mounting shell 2 is reset by the reset mechanism. This process is repeated, causing the sugar orange tree branches hooked on the hook 4 to vibrate, thereby realizing the fruit thinning operation, allowing the retained sugar orange fruits to better absorb nutrients and grow better.

[0027] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the reset mechanism includes: a connecting rod 8 fixedly installed on the base 1, a first spring 9 sleeved on the connecting rod 8; and a connecting frame 10 slidably installed on the connecting rod 8, the top end of the connecting frame 10 being fixedly connected to the mounting shell 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, during use, the hook 4 is used to hook the branches of the rock sugar orange tree. The servo motor 6 is started, and its output shaft drives the protrusion 7 to rotate. The protrusion 7 squeezes the mounting shell 2. At this time, the mounting shell 2 drives the connecting frame 10 to slide on the connecting rod 8, and the first spring 9 is compressed. When the protrusion 7 rotates and no longer squeezes the mounting shell 2, the compressed first spring 9 returns to its original state, pushing the connecting frame 10 to drive the mounting shell 2 to reset. This process is repeated, causing the hooked branches of the rock sugar orange tree to vibrate, thereby realizing the fruit thinning operation.

[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a telescopic rod 11 is fixedly installed inside the base 1, and the output shaft of the telescopic rod 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting base 5. The telescopic rod 11 is used to adjust the vertical position of the protrusion 7. A guide rod 12 is fixedly installed inside the base 1, and the guide rod 12 is slidably connected to the mounting base 5. The guide rod 12 is used to guide the movement of the mounting base 5.

[0030] In this embodiment, by controlling the extension and retraction of the output shaft of the telescopic rod 11, the vertical position of the mounting base 5 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the relative distance between the protrusion 7 and the mounting shell 2. This allows for vibration of the sugar orange tree branches at different frequencies to accommodate branches of different thicknesses and fruit-bearing conditions, enabling workers to better perform fruit thinning operations according to actual needs.

[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a barrier 13 is slidably installed on the hook 4. The barrier 13 is used to block the rock sugar orange tree branches hooked inside the hook 4. A moving mechanism is provided between the mounting rod 3 and the barrier 13. The moving mechanism is used to move and adjust the position of the barrier 13.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the staff needs to use the hook 4 to hook the branches of the sugar orange tree, the staff first pulls the barrier 13 to move through the moving mechanism, then places the sugar orange tree branch in the hook 4, and then releases the moving mechanism to reset the barrier 13. The barrier 13 blocks the branches hooked in the hook 4 to prevent the branches from coming out of the hook 4 during vibration, thus improving the stability during fruit thinning.

[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the moving mechanism includes: a placement shell 14 fixedly installed on one side of the mounting rod 3, the barrier 13 and the placement shell 14 being slidably connected; a second spring 16 sleeved on the barrier 13, and a stop block 15 for compressing the second spring 16 fixedly sleeved on the barrier 13; and a pull rope 17 fixedly installed at the bottom of the barrier 13, the pull rope 17 being used to pull the barrier 13.

[0034] In this embodiment, when the operator needs to use the hook 4 to hook the branches of the sugar orange tree, the operator pulls the pull rope 17. The pull rope 17 causes the barrier 13 to slide on the placement shell 14. At this time, the stop block 15 moves accordingly and compresses the second spring 16. After the barrier 13 moves to the appropriate position, the sugar orange tree branch is placed in the hook 4. Then the operator releases the pull rope 17, and the compressed second spring 16 returns to its original position. This pushes the stop block 15 to cause the barrier 13 to return to its original position. The barrier 13 blocks the branches hooked in the hook 4, preventing the branches from coming out of the hook 4 during vibration and improving the stability during fruit thinning.

[0035] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a guide ring 18 is fixedly installed on the mounting rod 3, and the pull rope 17 passes through the guide ring 18. The guide ring 18 is used to guide the movement of the pull rope 17.

[0036] In this embodiment, the guide ring 18 can guide the movement of the pull rope 17, thereby improving the stability of the pull rope 17 during movement.

[0037] In summary, compared with related technologies, this device can be used to thin the fruit of planted sugar orange trees, making nutrients more concentrated, allowing the remaining sugar oranges to better absorb nutrients and grow better, and the fruit thinning efficiency is high.

[0038] It should be understood, in the several embodiments provided in this application, that the disclosed apparatus may be implemented in other ways.
