[0002] Acanthopanax senticosus fruit is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant. The mature fruit is purplish-black and spherical. Its fruit can be used as an important Chinese medicine and functional food ingredient, and has unique medicinal and economic value.
[0003] The ripening period of Acanthopanax senticosus fruit is concentrated in September and October. The fruits grow in clusters, and the fruit stalks are slender and fragile. Therefore, Acanthopanax senticosus fruit is harvested at this time. During the harvesting process, although the fruit itself has no thorns, its branches and petioles are densely covered with hard and sharp thorns, which can reach 3-5 mm in length. At the same time, because Acanthopanax senticosus grows mostly in mountainous and hilly areas, the complex terrain conditions further increase the difficulty of mechanized harvesting, so it still mainly relies on manual harvesting. When using traditional manual harvesting methods, harvesters need to directly contact the thorny branches. Even when wearing ordinary protective gloves, the sharp thorns can easily penetrate the protective material and prick fingers or palms, and it is still difficult to completely avoid the risk of being pricked. Therefore, the problem of pricking is common during the harvesting of Acanthopanax senticosus fruit. Utility Model Content

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0022] Example
[0023] The Acanthopanax senticosus fruit harvesting device described in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the device includes a box 1 without a front sidewall. The rear sidewall of the box 1 has a through hole that connects the inside and outside, through which a collection basket 2 is connected. A support rod 7 is vertically installed at the bottom of the box 1. The outer sidewall of the collection basket 2 at its opening is fixed to the wall of the through hole, thus connecting the box 1 and the collection basket 2. Because the box 1 has no front sidewall, objects can enter it from the front. Because the box 1 is connected to the collection basket 2, objects can enter the collection basket 2 from the front through the inside of the box 1. The upper end of the support rod 7 is fixed to the outer bottom of the box 1. In use, operating the support rod 7 can drive... Box 1 and collection basket 2 are moved to the position of the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit. After the box 1 and collection basket 2 are in position, the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit is placed inside box 1. Then, the support rod 7 is moved upwards, causing box 1 and collection basket 2 to move upwards. The Acanthopanax senticosus fruit can then enter the collection basket 2 through the opening of box 1. Because the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit is a purplish-black spherical fruit with a slender and fragile stalk, the fruit part can enter the collection basket 2. Part of the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit stalk will be inside the collection basket 2, and the other part will be inside box 1. The structure of box 1, collection basket 2, and support rod 7 is similar to the structure of a net. Figure 3 The preferred orientation of the collection basket 2 is a "C" shaped structure. Because the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit is a purplish-black sphere, the "C" shaped structure design can increase the contact surface of the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit collection basket 2, so that the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit can be placed more closely inside the collection basket 2.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a cutter 4 is provided at the bottom of the inner side of the box 1. The cutter 4 has a rectangular structure, with the tip at the top and the back at the bottom. The cutter 4 is used to cut the stem of the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit, which makes it easier to pick the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit from the tree.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a push rod 8 is installed on the support rod 7, and the interior of the support rod 7 is hollow; the push rod 8 is located inside the support rod 7; a connecting plate 6 is horizontally installed inside the box 1, and the cutter 4 is located on top of the connecting plate 6; both the top of the support rod 7 and the bottom of the box 1 have through holes for the push rod 8 to pass through; the outer wall of the support rod 7 has a through hole that connects the inside and outside; one end of the push rod 8 passes through the through hole and is fixed to the bottom of the connecting plate 6, and the other end is fixed to a push block 10 located in the through hole; the push block 10 can slide up and down along the through hole; this section of the scheme constitutes a pushing assembly for pushing the cutter 4 to move up and down to cut the fruit stalk of Acanthopanax senticosus fruit; one end of the push rod 8 is the... Figure 1 The upper end of the heavy push rod 8, and its other end is... Figure 1 The lower end of the push rod 8; the upper end of the push rod 8 first passes through the hole on the support rod 7, then through the hole on the box body 1, and is then fixed to the bottom of the connecting plate 6; because a push block 10 is provided in the through hole, and the push block 10 is connected to the push rod 8, pushing the push block 10 to move up and down in the through hole can drive the push rod 8 to move up and down, the push rod 8 can drive the connecting plate 6 to move up and down, and the connecting plate 6 can drive the cutter 4 on it to move up and down; when in use, when the fruit part of Acanthopanax senticosus fruit When the fruit is placed in the collection basket 2 and its stem is placed in the box body 1, the pusher block 10 drives the pusher rod 8, the connecting plate 6 and the cutter 4 to move upward. When the cutter 4 moves upward and contacts the inner top of the box body 1, the tip of the cutter 4 will contact the stem of the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit, thereby cutting off the stem of the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit in the box body 1. After cutting, the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit can be picked into the collection basket 2. Then, the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit in the collection basket 2 is poured out to achieve the purpose of picking Acanthopanax senticosus fruit.
[0026] During implementation, the push block 10 in the push component can also be covered with a soft pad, so as to maximize comfort when the push block 10 is pushed by the finger.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a stop block 3 is detachably connected to the inner top of the box body 1. The stop block 3 can be fixed to the inner top of the box body 1 by screws. The stop block 3 has a threaded hole that is open from top to bottom, and the inner top of the box body 1 has a threaded blind hole. The screw passes through the threaded hole and the threaded blind hole in sequence, so that the stop block 3 can be detachably fixed to the inner top of the box body 1. With the design of the stop block 3, when the cutter 4 moves upward, the tip of the cutter 4 can contact the bottom of the stop block 3. The stop block 3 can be made of wood. Therefore, with the above setting, not only is it avoided that the cutter 4 directly cuts the box body 1, but the stop block 3 replaces the box body 1 in contacting the cutter 4. At the same time, the design of the stop block 3 as wood also avoids the cutter 4 from cutting harder materials, thus protecting the cutter 4.
[0028] like Figure 1As shown, a spring 9 is installed between the inner top of the support rod 7 and the top of the push block 10. In its natural state, the connecting plate 6 is attached to the inner bottom of the box body 1. One end of the spring 9 is fixed to the inner top of the support rod 7, and the other end is fixed to the top of the push block 10. Through the design of the spring 9, the push block 10 can be pulled downward, thereby pulling the push rod 8 downward. The push rod 8 drives the connecting plate 6 downward, and when the connecting plate 6 moves downward, it can be attached to the inner bottom of the box body 1. In use, when the push block 10 is pushed to move the push rod 8, the connecting plate 6, and the cutter 4 upward, the spring 9 is compressed. At this time, the force applied by the hand to the push block 10 can overcome the elastic force of the spring 9, allowing the cutter 4 to move to the position of the stop block 3. The spring 9 is positioned so that the cutter 4 can smoothly cut the stem of the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit. After the cutting is completed, the pusher block 10 is stopped from moving upward. At this time, the spring 9 returns and can drive the pusher block 10 to move downward, thereby driving the pusher rod 8, the connecting plate 6 and the cutter 4 to move downward and return to their original state. Therefore, through the design of the spring 9, after the cutter 4 is pushed upward, it is not necessary to pull the cutter 4 back to its original state by hand. At the same time, because in its natural state, the spring 9 drives the connecting plate 6 to fit against the inner bottom of the box body 1, it avoids the cutter 4 and the connecting plate 6 from blocking the opening of the box body 1 and the collection basket 2 when the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit is placed in the collection basket 2, so that the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit can smoothly enter the box body 1 and the collection basket 2.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the bottom of the cutter 4 is fixed with a locking block 11 in an inverted "T" shape. The front side wall of the connecting plate 6 has a slot for the locking block 11 to be inserted. A limiting plate 12 is provided on the front side of the connecting plate 6. The left side wall of the limiting plate 12 is hinged to the connecting plate 6 and can be rotated left and right. The right side wall of the limiting plate 12 is provided with a screw 13 for locking it to the connecting plate 6. The slot communicates with the top of the connecting plate 6, so the locking block 11 can be placed in the slot from the front side of the connecting plate 6. Because the slot has an inverted "T" shape, the locking block 11 can only be placed in the slot from the front side of the connecting plate 6. When the locking block 11 is placed in the slot, it cannot move up or down. When it needs to be removed from the slot, it can only be removed from the front of the connecting plate 6. The left side wall of the limiting plate 12 can be hinged to the front wall of the connecting plate 6 via a pivot or hinge. When the limiting plate 12 is flipped left or right, it can block the slot opening. The right side of the limiting plate 12 has a threaded through hole that connects front and back, and the front wall of the connecting plate 6 has a threaded blind hole that engages with the screw 13. During use, when the limiting plate... When the limiting plate 12 is flipped to fit against the front side wall of the connecting plate 6, the center lines of the threaded through hole and the threaded blind hole are on the same straight line. Then, by screwing the same screw 13 into the threaded through hole and the threaded blind hole, the right side wall of the limiting plate 12 can be locked onto the connecting plate 6. Once the right side wall of the limiting plate 12 is locked, the limiting plate 12 can block the opening of the slot, preventing the locking block 11 from moving out of the slot. Because the locking block 11 is connected to the cutter 4, it achieves the purpose of locking the position of the cutter 4. Since the cutter 4 will experience wear during use, when the cutter 4 is damaged, it is necessary to… When replacing the cutter 4, the screw 13 is unscrewed from between the limiting plate 12 and the connecting plate 6, allowing the limiting plate 12 to flip to the left. After the limiting plate 12 flips, it no longer obstructs the position of the slot opening, allowing the locking block 11 in the slot to be removed from the front side of the connecting plate 6. Once the locking block 11 is removed, the cutter 4 can be detached from the connecting plate 6. During production, several cutters 4 are manufactured, and the bottom of each cutter 4 drives the locking block 11. Therefore, the above method facilitates the replacement of a new cutter 4 and its reinstallation on the connecting plate 6.
[0030] like Figure 1As shown, the inner wall of the box body 1 is provided with a groove for the connecting plate 6 to slide up and down. The left and right side walls of the connecting plate 6 are in vertical sliding engagement with the groove via sliders 5. The left and right inner side walls of the box body 1 are also provided with grooves. The slider 5 on the left side of the connecting plate 6 is in vertical sliding engagement with the groove on the left inner side wall of the box body 1, and the slider 5 on the right side of the connecting plate 6 is in vertical sliding engagement with the groove on the right inner side wall of the box body 1. Therefore, through the design of the sliders 5 and the grooves, the connecting plate 6 can move up and down more stably, thereby driving the cutter 4 to move up and down more stably to cut the stem of the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit.
[0031] The collection basket 2 is lined with a layer of sponge pad. The sponge pad is designed to cushion the fruit when it falls into the collection basket 2, thus protecting the harvested fruit as much as possible.
[0032] The outer wall of the support rod 7 is provided with anti-slip texture, which makes it more stable when holding the support rod 7.
[0033] The collection basket 2 and the support rod 7 are both made of plastic. Plastic is lightweight and has a certain degree of hardness. Because the support rod 7 needs to be held to move the collection basket 2 during the harvesting of Acanthopanax senticosus fruit, the plastic material design can reduce the weight that the hands need to bear and reduce the workload of the harvesters.
[0034] In practical use: First, hold the support rod 7 and position the opening of the box 1 below the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit. Then, move the support rod 7 upwards, causing the box 1 and the collection basket 2 to move upwards, allowing the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit to enter the collection basket 2 from the opening of the box 1. Once the fruit stalk has moved into the box 1, push the push block 10 towards the box 1. The push block 10 will then move the push rod 8, the connecting plate 6, and the cutter 4. When the cutter 4 contacts the stop block 3 during its movement, it will cut off the fruit stalk, allowing the fruit to be harvested into the collection basket 2. Finally, remove the fruit from the collection basket 2. In this harvesting process, because the support rod 7 is used to move the box 1 and the collection basket 2 to the position of the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit, the harvester's hands only contact the support rod 7, thus avoiding direct contact between the harvester's hands and the densely packed, hard, sharp thorns on the branches and petioles of the Acanthopanax senticosus fruit. This solves the problem of easy thorn injuries during harvesting.
