Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medicinal herb harvesting tools, specifically a forsythia harvesting tool. Background Technology

[0002] Forsythia is widely distributed in Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi and other places in China. It is mainly a wild resource and is not demanding in terms of soil. It grows wild in sunny hillside thickets, forest edges or forests in valleys and ravines.

[0003] Faced with abundant wild resources, forsythia, which grows on hillside thickets, forest edges, valleys, and gullies, is still mainly harvested by hand because mechanized harvesting equipment is not easy to access in the mountains.

[0004] There are two main methods of manual harvesting. One is to pick the fruit one by one. Although this method can accurately pick the forsythia fruit, it is inefficient and labor-intensive. The other is to hold a branch directly and pull it down along the direction of the branch. During the pulling process, the forsythia fruit gradually accumulates in the palm. Although this method can improve the harvesting efficiency, the sharp points of the forsythia fruit can easily prick the palm under the pressure as they gradually accumulate in the palm. In addition, the leaves are pulled down along with the fruit, which increases the workload for sorting the forsythia fruit later.

[0005] While there are work gloves on the market that offer decent abrasion resistance, their puncture resistance is poor. When multiple forsythia fruits accumulate inside the palm, the sharp tips of the fruits can still pierce the gloves and injure the palm when obstructed. Of course, there are also expensive puncture-proof gloves, but these gloves are too thick and heavy, have poor breathability, and severely reduce hand dexterity when worn, making it inconvenient to pick forsythia fruits. Moreover, they are not cost-effective for farmers.

[0006] Therefore, a tool for harvesting forsythia is provided. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a forsythia harvesting tool to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the sharp tips of the forsythia fruits easily piercing the palm under the pressure during the gradual accumulation of forsythia fruits in the palm, and the leaves being pulled down along with the fruit during the pulling process, which increases the workload for subsequent sorting of forsythia fruits.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, a forsythia harvesting tool is provided, including a clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism is composed of a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate with a semi-circular tubular structure, and the inner sides of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are provided with multiple sets of fan-shaped push plates.

[0009] Preferably, the upper edge of the first clamping plate has multiple sets of slots evenly formed along the axial direction, and the upper edge of the second clamping plate has multiple sets of blocks evenly fixedly connected to the corresponding slots, and the slots and blocks are rotatably connected by pins.

[0010] Preferably, the first clamping plate has an index finger sleeve, a middle finger sleeve, a ring finger sleeve, and a little finger sleeve fixedly connected equidistantly along the axial direction on the outer annular side near the slot, and the second clamping plate has a thumb sleeve corresponding to the index finger sleeve on the outer annular side near the block.

[0011] Preferably, the rear end of the push plate is fixedly connected to the rear end of the annular inner side of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate at the corresponding positions, and the front end of the push plate extends forward to a position close to the front end of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate. Multiple push plates can form a funnel-shaped structure, and a gap is left between two adjacent push plates.

[0012] Preferably, both the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate have openings on their inner sides near the front end of the push plate.

[0013] Preferably, the inner sides of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are both fixedly connected to a connecting plate with a semi-circular ring structure, and the inner annular side of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of the push plate at the corresponding position.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. By setting up a combination structure of a first clamp and a second clamp, the first clamp and the second clamp are clamped onto the branches bearing forsythia fruits. The push plates inside the first clamp and the second clamp form a funnel-shaped structure, and the front end of the push plate is close to the outer wall of the branch. Thus, when pulled along the direction of the branch extension, the push plate can scoop off the forsythia fruits when it touches them. The scooped-off forsythia fruits can fall into the prepared collection bag through the opening. The gap between the push plates allows some leaves to pass through, avoiding picking too many leaves and forsythia fruits together. This not only improves work efficiency, but also avoids direct contact between the palm and the forsythia fruits, preventing hand injuries. It also separates the forsythia fruits from the leaves, reducing the workload of subsequent sorting of forsythia fruits.

[0016] 2. By setting index, middle, ring, and little finger sleeves on the first clamp and a thumb sleeve on the second clamp, workers can easily grasp the first and second clamps by inserting their fingers into the corresponding sleeves. The opening and closing of the first and second clamps is achieved by opening and closing the palm. When the first and second clamps are closed, the action of picking forsythia fruits is completed; when the first and second clamps are open, the collected forsythia fruits are released. The tool is small, easy to operate, cost-effective, and highly practical. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0025] A forsythia harvesting tool includes a clamping mechanism composed of two semi-circular tubular structures: a first clamping plate 1 and a second clamping plate 2. Multiple sets of fan-shaped push plates 3 are provided on the inner sides of both the first and second clamping plates 1 and 2. Multiple sets of slots 9 are evenly distributed axially along the upper edge of the first clamping plate 1. Multiple sets of locking blocks 11 are evenly fixedly connected to the corresponding slots 9 at the upper edge of the second clamping plate 2. The slots 9 and locking blocks 11 are rotatably connected by pins 10. The rear ends of the push plates 3 are fixedly connected to the rear ends of the annular inner surfaces of the first and second clamping plates 1 and 2 respectively. The front ends of the push plates 3 extend forward to a position close to the front ends of the first and second clamping plates 1 and 2. The push plates 3 can form a funnel-shaped structure, and a gap is left between adjacent push plates 3.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2 can rotate freely around the pin 10, thereby facilitating the clamping of Forsythia branches. By grasping the annular outer surface of the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2 with one hand, the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2 can be clamped onto the branches bearing Forsythia fruits. The first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2 are combined into a cylindrical structure, and the front end faces of the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2 are arc-shaped, allowing the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2 to guide the scattered twigs on the branches to the center position during pulling, thus lowering the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2. The resistance encountered during movement reduces the physical exertion of workers. The push plate 3 inside the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2 forms a funnel-shaped structure, and the front end of the push plate 3 is close to the outer wall of the branch, making it convenient for the push plate 3 to scoop off the forsythia fruit. When the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2 are pulled along the direction of the branch extension, the push plate 3 can scoop off the forsythia fruit when it touches it. The front end of the push plate 3 is set into an arc-shaped structure to avoid damaging the forsythia. An opening 12 is opened on the inner side of the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2 below the position of the front end of the push plate 3, so that the forsythia fruit scooped off by the push plate 3 can be easily removed. The forsythia fruits can fall through opening 12 into a pre-prepared collection bag, facilitating their collection. A semi-circular connecting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the inner sides of both the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2. The inner annular side of the connecting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the corresponding push plate 3. The connecting plate 13 is located behind opening 12. By setting the connecting plate 13, the forsythia fruits being scooped out are blocked, preventing them from being squeezed and stuck in the narrow space formed between the push plate 3 and the first clamping plate 1 and the second clamping plate 2 when multiple forsythia fruits are scooped out at once, thus ensuring the forsythia fruits remain intact. It can fall down as the push plate 3 moves, and the setting of the connecting plate 13 can provide tension to the push plate 3, so as to prevent the push plate 3 from deforming during frequent use, and ensure the normal use and durability of the push plate 3. The gap width between two adjacent push plates 3 is smaller than the diameter of the forsythia, so that the forsythia fruit cannot pass through the gap, while the leaves can pass through the gap between the push plates 3, avoiding too many leaves and forsythia fruit being picked together. This not only improves work efficiency, but also avoids the palm from being pricked by direct contact with the forsythia fruit, and can also separate the forsythia fruit and leaves, reducing the workload of subsequent sorting of forsythia fruit.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown: The first clamping plate 1 has an index finger sleeve 5, a middle finger sleeve 6, a ring finger sleeve 7 and a little finger sleeve 8 fixedly connected equidistantly along the axial direction on the outer annular side near the slot 9. The second clamping plate 2 has a thumb sleeve 4 on the outer annular side near the slot 11 corresponding to the index finger sleeve 5.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, workers can easily grasp the first clamp 1 and the second clamp 2 by inserting their fingers into the corresponding finger sleeves. The opening and closing of the first clamp 1 and the second clamp 2 is completed by opening and closing the palm. When the hand is clenched, the first clamp 1 and the second clamp 2 are closed, which can clamp onto the branches with forsythia fruits. Pulling in the direction of the branch extension can complete the action of picking forsythia fruits. The tool is small, easy to operate, cost-effective and practical.

[0029] Working principle: When using, lay a collection bag under the forsythia branch to be harvested, then insert five fingers into the corresponding thumb sleeve 4, index finger sleeve 5, middle finger sleeve 6, ring finger sleeve 7, and little finger sleeve 8. Open your palm, which will cause the first clamp 1 and the second clamp 2 to open. The push plate 3 on the inside of the first clamp 1 and the push plate 3 on the inside of the second clamp 2 will open simultaneously. Move the first clamp 1 and the second clamp 2 so that the front end of the push plate 3 is close to the outer side of the branch, and the first clamp 1 and the second clamp 2 are located at the end of the branch away from the human body. Then clench your palm, which will close the first clamp 1 and the second clamp 2. Then pull the first clamp 1 and the second clamp 2 along the direction of the branch extension, which will cause the push plate 3 to scrape off the forsythia fruit it touches. The scraped forsythia fruit will fall into the collection bag through the opening 12. When the first clamp 1 and the second clamp 2 have completely passed through the entire branch, the harvesting of forsythia fruit is completed.
