Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural machinery and equipment technology, and relates to an auxiliary device for orchard harvesting, specifically a storage and transportation device for orchard harvesting. Background Technology

[0002] There are many types of storage and transportation devices for orchard picking, including picking and transportation vehicles, storage devices and rail transport. Among them, picking and transportation vehicles are mostly used in medium and large-scale orchard developments. However, in small-scale planting or complex terrain, due to limited space and flexibility, they are not easy to use. In such cases, push-pull carts are usually used in conjunction with picking baskets for storage and transportation.

[0003] Existing non-automatic orchard harvesting devices use large containers to store a large quantity of fruit at a time. When storing a small amount of fruit, it is difficult for personnel to bend down and reach the bottom of the container. Therefore, the fruit needs to be lowered from a certain height to allow it to fall freely. This can easily cause collision damage to the falling fruit and the fruit that comes into contact with it. At the same time, when the container is full of fruit, it may fall due to bumps during transportation, making it inconvenient to use.

[0004] Therefore, a storage and transportation device for orchard harvesting is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by proposing a storage and transportation device for orchard harvesting, which can solve the problem of damage caused by fruit collisions during harvesting and storage, and also solve the problem of fruit falling off during transportation.

[0006] The orchard harvesting storage and transportation device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A storage and transportation device for orchard harvesting includes a frame, a base plate fixedly connected to the inner side of the frame, casters fixedly connected to the bottom chamfer of the frame, and three sets of container racks fixedly connected to the top of the frame.

[0008] The container rack includes four columns. A sliding rod is fixedly connected to the top of each column. A sliding sleeve is fixedly connected to the outside of the sliding rod. A crossbeam is fixedly connected to the back of the two front sliding sleeves and between the two rear sliding sleeves. Two sliding frames are slidably connected to the outside of the crossbeam. An upper frame is fixedly connected between the two left sliding frames and the two right sliding frames. A clamp is fixedly connected to the right side of the left sliding frame and the left side of the right sliding frame.

[0009] The top of the base plate is provided with a canvas bag, and the top opening of the canvas bag is movably connected to a clip.

[0010] Preferably, a retaining clip is attached to the outer side of the upper frame, and the retaining clip is made of elastic material.

[0011] Preferably, the front side of the front sliding sleeve is threadedly connected to a fastening screw, and the fastening screw is in contact with the sliding rod on the side closest to the sliding rod.

[0012] Preferably, a limiting protrusion is fixedly connected to the top of the slide rod, and an auxiliary wheel is installed in the middle of the bottom of the frame.

[0013] Preferably, handles are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the frame, and a traction frame is provided on the left side of the frame.

[0014] Preferably, a flat frame is provided between two adjacent columns, and a silicone film is provided on the inner side of the flat frame.

[0015] Preferably, a side plate is fixedly connected between the opposite sides of two adjacent columns. Both the side plate and the flat frame have through holes on their inner sides, and the side plate and the flat frame are installed by bolts, nuts and through holes.

[0016] Preferably, a filling groove is fixedly connected to the side of the flat frame away from the canvas bag, and a pull-out plate is slidably connected to the top and bottom of the inner side of the filling groove.

[0017] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0018] (1) This utility model sets up a canvas bag as the main storage space, and supports the bottom of the canvas bag by the force of the bottom plate. The frame is set up as the main structural support, and the universal wheels can facilitate the movement of the whole structure so as to move through the orchard terrain. Since the space of the frame and the bottom plate is large, multiple canvas bags can be fixed at the same time. The uprights are equipped with sliding rods, which can facilitate the opening of the top opening of the canvas bag by the sliding sleeve, the crossbeam and the sliding frame and the clamp on the outside of the crossbeam, so as to put the fruit in.

[0019] (2) The top opening of the canvas bag of this utility model is flush with the top of the column. Pickers can bend over and easily place the fruit at the bottom of the canvas bag. As more fruit is stored, the top opening of the canvas bag can be raised by sliding along the slide bar. Fruit can be placed inside. When the fruit is placed, it can avoid collision and damage, and improve the yield of fruit picking.

[0020] (3) During transportation, the slide frame can be slid along the crossbeam to bring the two sets of upper frames closer to each other, so that the front clip and the rear clip are close to each other, thereby reducing the opening of the canvas bag and effectively preventing the fruit from falling off due to bumps.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and not to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the present invention, any modifications of the present invention in various equivalent forms by those skilled in the art will fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a storage and transportation device for orchard picking includes a frame 1, a base plate 2 fixedly connected to the inner side of the frame 1, casters 3 fixedly connected to the bottom chamfer of the frame 1, and three sets of container racks 4 fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1.

[0029] The container rack 4 includes four uprights 41. A sliding rod 42 is fixedly connected to the top of the uprights 41. A sliding sleeve 43 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sliding rod 42. A crossbeam 44 is fixedly connected to the back of the two front sliding sleeves 43 and between the two rear sliding sleeves 43. Two sliding frames 45 are slidably connected to the outside of the crossbeam 44. An upper frame 46 is fixedly connected between the two left sliding frames 45 and the two right sliding frames 45. A clip 47 is fixedly connected to the right side of the left sliding frame 45 and the left side of the right sliding frame 45.

[0030] A canvas bag 5 is provided on the top of the base plate 2, and the top opening of the canvas bag 5 is movably connected to the clip 47.

[0031] In this embodiment: a canvas bag 5 is set as the main storage space, and the bottom of the canvas bag 5 is supported by the base plate 2. A frame 1 is set as the main structural support, and the casters 3 make it easy to move the whole structure to move through the orchard terrain. Since the space of the frame 1 and the base plate 2 is large, multiple sets of canvas bags 5 can be fixed at the same time. The upright 41 is equipped with a sliding rod 42, which can facilitate the opening of the top opening of the canvas bag 5 through the sliding sleeve 43 on the outside of the sliding rod 42, the crossbeam 44, the sliding frame 45 on the outside of the crossbeam 44, and the clamp 47, so as to put the fruit in. Under normal conditions, the canvas bag 5 The top opening of the canvas bag 5 is flush with the top of the column 41, so that people can bend over and easily place the fruit at the bottom of the bag. As more fruit is stored, the sliding sleeve 43 can be slid along the sliding bar 42 to raise the top opening of the canvas bag 5, so that more fruit can be placed inside. This can prevent the fruit from being damaged by collision when it is placed inside. When the canvas bag 5 is full and needs to be transported, the sliding frame 45 can be slid along the crossbeam 44 to bring the two sets of upper frames 46 closer together, so that the front clip 47 and the rear clip 47 are closer together, which reduces the opening of the canvas bag 5 and prevents the fruit from falling off due to bumps during transportation.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a retaining clip 6 is attached to the outer side of the upper frame 46. The retaining clip 6 is made of elastic material.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the front side of the front sliding sleeve 43 is threadedly connected to a fastening screw 7, and the fastening screw 7 is in contact with the sliding rod 42 on the side closest to the sliding rod 42.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a limiting protrusion 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide bar 42, and an auxiliary wheel is installed in the middle of the bottom of the frame 1.

[0035] In this embodiment: by setting a stabilizing clip 6, when the canvas bag 5 is full of fruit and the front and rear upper racks 46 are close together, the stabilizing clip 6 can be used to lock and fix the two to prevent slippage and loosening. By setting a fastening screw 7, when the sliding sleeve 43 slides to the required height, the fastening screw 7 can be rotated to press against the outside of the sliding rod 42 to fix the position of the sliding sleeve 43. By setting a limiting protrusion 8, it can be prevented from sliding off the top of the sliding rod 42. By setting an auxiliary wheel, it can provide auxiliary support at the bottom of the frame 1.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, handles 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the frame 1, and a traction frame is provided on the left side of the frame 1.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, a flat frame 10 is provided between two adjacent columns 41, and a silicone film 11 is provided on the inner side of the flat frame 10.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a side plate 12 is fixedly connected between the opposite sides of two adjacent columns 41. Both the side plate 12 and the flat frame 10 have through holes on their inner sides, and the side plate 12 and the flat frame 10 are installed by bolts, nuts and through holes.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a filling groove 13 is fixedly connected to the side of the flat frame 10 away from the canvas bag 5, and a pull-out plate 14 is slidably connected to the top and bottom of the inner side of the filling groove 13.

[0040] In this embodiment: by setting handle 9, the push-pull structure can be easily moved; the traction frame can be easily connected to the carrier to move the traction structure; by setting flat frame 10 and installing silicone film 11, the outside of frame 1 can protect the inside, avoiding external impact from directly contacting the canvas bag 5 containing fruit and causing damage; the flat frame 10 and side plate 12 are used to install silicone film 11 between columns 41; the filling groove 13 can open pull plate 14 and fill with low-temperature filler such as ice when there is a need for refrigeration.

[0041] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the operation method of a fruit picking storage and transportation device is as follows: A frame 1 serves as the overall supporting skeleton; an inner bottom plate 2 supports the bottom of the canvas bag 5 to distribute its weight; bottom casters 3, in conjunction with auxiliary wheels, enable flexible movement on complex terrain; a top handle 9 facilitates manual pushing and pulling; a left-side traction frame can be connected to an external vehicle for mechanical traction; the canvas bag 5 is used as a flexible storage container to reduce collision damage; its top opening is fixed to the container frame 4 by clips 47; the sliding sleeve 43 of the container frame 4 slides along the sliding rod 42, driving the crossbeam 44 and clips 47 to raise and lower, adjusting the opening height; when there are few fruits, a lower opening facilitates direct placement and avoids... When fruits fall and collide, the opening is raised to expand the space as more fruits accumulate. The position of the sliding sleeve 43 is fixed by the fastening screw 7. At the same time, the sliding frame 45 slides along the crossbeam 44, causing the upper frame 46 to move closer or further away, thereby adjusting the size of the opening.
