Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0026] See attached document Figures 1-5A high-efficiency, low-damage lavender harvesting device includes a harvesting hopper 1, a feeding auger 2 installed on the inner wall of the harvesting hopper 1, an installation box 3 fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the harvesting hopper 1, an extension plate 4 installed on the front of the installation box 3, a cutting blade 5 installed on the front of the harvesting hopper 1, a first mounting frame 6 provided at the bottom of the harvesting hopper 1, a first guide plate 7 installed on the front of the first mounting frame 6, and side plates 8 installed on both sides of the top of the first mounting frame 6. The side plates 8 can cooperate with the first guide plate 7 to guide the lavender spikes, thereby adjusting the angle of the spikes before harvesting.

[0027] See attached document Figures 1-3 A movable plate 9 is slidably mounted on the bottom of the first mounting frame 6. Movable grooves 10 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the first mounting frame 6, and the movable plate 9 slides in cooperation with the movable grooves 10. An extension frame 11 is fixedly mounted on the front of the movable plate 9. A notch 12 is provided on the front of the extension frame 11. Several notches 12 are provided, so that after the movable plate 9 moves in the movable groove 10, the movable plate 9 drives the extension frame 11 to move forward, so that the notch 12 of the extension frame 11 cooperates with the guide plate to guide the lavender spikes.

[0028] In addition, a fixed frame 13 is installed at the bottom of the harvesting bucket 1, and a push rod 14 is installed at the bottom of the fixed frame 13. The free end of the push rod 14 is connected to the moving plate 9. The push rod 14 can be installed through the fixed frame 13, so that the push rod 14 moves the moving plate 9. After the moving plate 9 drives the extension frame 11 to move forward, the extension frame 11 moves forward past the first guide plate 7, which can gather and guide the lavender spikes close to the harvester, making it easier to harvest the lavender spikes. A shield 15 is fixedly installed on the back of the moving plate 9. The shield 15 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 13, so that the installed shield 15 can protect the surface of the free end of the push rod 14, preventing lavender or other impurities from causing wear to the free end of the push rod 14.

[0029] See attached document Figures 1-4 A second mounting bracket 16 is fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the bottom of the harvesting bucket 1. A mounting base 17 is inserted into the bottom of the second mounting bracket 16. A movable wheel 18 is installed at the bottom of the mounting base 17. The movable wheel 18 can be installed through the second mounting bracket 16 and the mounting base 17, so that the movable wheel 18 can support the front end of the harvesting bucket 1 and prevent the harvesting bucket 1 from colliding with stones and other impurities at too low a height, which would affect the cutting blade 5 from cutting the lavender spikes.

[0030] See attached document Figures 1-4A connecting block 19 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting base 17. The connecting block 19 is slidably connected to the second mounting frame 16. A limiting groove 20 is opened on the surface of the connecting block 19. A fastening bolt 21 is provided on the outer side of the second mounting frame 16. The fastening bolt 21 passes through the inner cavity of the second mounting frame 16. A limiting block 22 is installed at the end of the fastening bolt 21. The limiting block 22 is inserted into the limiting groove 20. After adjusting the position of the connecting block 19, the fastening bolt 21 is tightened, which causes the fastening bolt 21 to drive the limiting block 22 to be inserted into the limiting groove 20. This allows the limiting block 22 to restrict the connecting block 19. The height of the moving wheel 18 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the distance between the harvesting bucket 1 and the ground.

[0031] See attached document Figures 1-5 A connecting frame 23 is slidably mounted on the back of the first mounting frame 6. A tension spring 24 is mounted on the top of the end of the connecting frame 23, and the top of the tension spring 24 is connected to the bottom of the harvesting bucket 1. A sleeve rod is mounted on the top of the end of the connecting frame 23, and the tension spring 24 is sleeved on the surface of the sleeve rod. The top of the sleeve rod is connected to the bottom of the harvesting bucket 1. The connecting frame 23 can be installed through the sleeve rod and the tension spring 24, allowing the connecting frame 23 to move up and down. The sleeve rod restricts the direction and distance of movement of the connecting frame 23 while preventing the tension spring 24 from deforming during extension and retraction. An extension arm 25 is mounted on the bottom of the connecting frame 23, and a rake toothed disc 26 is mounted on the front of the extension arm 25. A fixing block 27 is installed on the front, and the top of the fixing block 27 is arc-shaped. A pressing block 28 is fixedly installed on the back of the moving plate 9. When the pressing block 28 presses the fixing block 27, it can drive the connecting frame 23 to move downward. The connecting frame 23 drives the rake toothed disc 26 to move downward through the extension arm 25, so that the rake toothed disc 26 can contact the ground. Under the traction of the harvesting bucket 1, the rake toothed disc 26 rotates. The rotating rake toothed disc 26 pushes, moves and picks up the withered flowers and leaves in front of it in sequence, and then discharges them to the side and rear. The withered flowers and leaves are guided outward by the grass dividing strips on the surface of the rake toothed disc 26, and can be gathered and collected.

[0032] Working principle: When harvesting lavender, harvesting should begin at the initial end of the lavender planting area. The push rod 14 is activated, and its free end pushes the moving plate 9 forward. The moving plate 9 then moves the extension frame 11 past the front end of the first guide plate 7, allowing the extension frame 11 to comb through the lavender clumps and guide the lavender flower spikes. This guides the lavender flower spikes that are tilted towards the harvester to become upright, facilitating harvesting with the cutting blade 5. After harvesting the first clump of lavender flower spikes, the push rod 14 is activated again... The push rod 14 is reset so that the extension frame 11 is reset via the moving plate 9. The extension frame 11 can be stored at the bottom of the first mounting frame 6. When the second clump of lavender is harvested, the first guide plate 7 can cooperate with the side plate 8 to guide the lavender. Since the second clump of lavender is adjacent to the first clump of lavender, the flower spikes on the side closer to the harvester or blocked by the lavender in the first clump will remain in an upright state. The flower spikes of lavender are guided by the first guide plate 7 and the side plate 8, making it easier to harvest the flower spikes of lavender with the cutting blade 5. Similarly, the planted lavender can be harvested in sequence.

[0033] When the movable plate 9 is reset to its original position, it causes the fixed pressing block 28 to move backward, so that the inclined surface of the back of the fixed pressing block 28 presses against the arc-shaped surface of the top front of the fixed block 27. This causes the fixed pressing block 28 to press the fixed block 27 downward. As the fixed block 27 moves downward, it causes the connecting frame 23 and the extension arm 25 to move downward. When the connecting frame 23 moves downward, it stretches the tension spring 24. When the extension arm 25 moves downward, it allows the grass-separating bars on the surface of the rake toothed disc 26 to... When the harvesting bucket 1 moves to harvest the lavender, it is in contact with the ground. The harvesting bucket 1 drives the extension arm 25 to move through the connecting frame 23, which in turn drives the rake toothed disc 26 to move. The grass-separating grid that is in contact with the ground can push, move and pick up the withered flowers and leaves on the ground in sequence, and push the withered flowers and leaves on the ground outward. This can gather the withered flowers and leaves and the debris generated during harvesting, so as to facilitate the collection of withered flowers and leaves for composting or distillation of essential oils.

[0034] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
