Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of harvesting device technology, and in particular to a foldable temporary honeysuckle harvesting rack. Background Technology
[0002] Honeysuckle blooms from March to May. The best time to pick honeysuckle is in the early morning or morning when it is still in bloom. At this time, the honeysuckle has not yet opened and retains a strong fragrance. Because it is rich in nutrients, the color is also better. Honeysuckle is also more valuable in all aspects. It is usually picked by hand.
[0003] In existing technologies, harvesting honeysuckle from higher up trees usually requires the use of vertical ladders to facilitate harvesters climbing to higher positions to pick the honeysuckle. However, the ladders on the market only have climbing functions and cannot provide guidance, collection, and storage functions for the honeysuckle during the harvesting process, causing great inconvenience to the honeysuckle harvesting work.
[0004] To address this, a foldable temporary honeysuckle picking rack is proposed, which integrates the advantages of high-altitude picking, foldability, honeysuckle guidance, collection, and storage, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background technology. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a foldable temporary honeysuckle picking rack.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a foldable temporary honeysuckle picking rack, comprising a base box, a U-shaped track frame, and a lifting ladder. Two U-shaped track frames are welded to the top surface of the base box, and a lifting ladder is slidably installed inside each U-shaped track frame. A rubber telescopic cylinder connected to the base box is provided between the two U-shaped track frames, and a horn cover is interference-fitted to the top of the rubber telescopic cylinder. A connecting plate is welded to the upper end of the lifting ladder, and the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the edge of the horn cover by bolts. Inclined ladders are welded to the left and right sides of the base box, and the inclined ladders are located below the U-shaped track frames. Several climbing crossbars are welded at equal intervals at the opening of the U-shaped track frames, and several U-shaped railings are welded at equal intervals at the opening end of the U-shaped track frames.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: the upper part of the two U-shaped track frames facing each other is welded with vertical blocks, and two plum blossom knobs are installed on the surface of the vertical blocks from bottom to top. The lower surface of the elevator is provided with a set of screw holes corresponding to the plum blossom knobs.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: guide strips are welded on both the left and right sides of the elevator, and guide grooves are opened on the left and right sides of the U-shaped track frame corresponding to the guide strips, and the guide strips are slidably connected to the guide grooves of the U-shaped track frame.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: the cross-section of the rubber telescopic cylinder is a wave-shaped structure, and the rubber telescopic cylinder is arranged parallel to the two U-shaped track frames.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the large opening of the horn cover is set facing upwards, and the small opening of the horn cover is connected to the top of the rubber telescopic cylinder.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: the lower surface of the bottom box is provided with an outlet, and a box door is installed inside the outlet by means of a hinge.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] In this invention, a retractable and foldable honeysuckle picking structure is formed by a U-shaped track frame welded to the top of the base box and a slidingly installed lifting ladder. It can be folded away to save space before operation and extended as needed during use. Simultaneously, the inclined ladder fits snugly below the U-shaped track frame, forming a stable climbing structure. Pickers can easily access the lifting ladder via the inclined ladder and safely climb upwards using the climbing crossbars and U-shaped railings on the U-shaped track frame, comprehensively meeting the picking needs of honeysuckle at different heights. Furthermore, the rubber telescopic tube design between the two U-shaped track frames allows picked honeysuckle to be directly dropped into a funnel-shaped cover. After being collected through the large opening of the funnel cover, it slides down into the base box via the connected rubber telescopic tube. This design integrates high-altitude climbing for picking, foldability, honeysuckle guidance, collection, and storage, greatly improving the convenience of picking.
[0015] In this invention, plum blossom knobs are installed by interlocking vertical blocks welded onto the U-shaped track frame, with corresponding screw holes at the bottom of the lifting platform. The connection between the plum blossom knobs and the screw holes allows for precise adjustment and secure locking of the lifting platform according to the actual picking height. This design effectively avoids safety hazards caused by shaking or sliding during use, ensuring the picking frame remains highly reliable in its extended state. It provides a safe and stable working platform for harvesters, guaranteeing the safe and efficient harvesting of honeysuckle. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a foldable temporary honeysuckle picking rack is provided.
[0024] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figure 1-4As shown, a foldable temporary honeysuckle picking rack according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a base box 1, a U-shaped track frame 2, and a lifting ladder 3. Two U-shaped track frames 2 are welded to the top surface of the base box 1, and a lifting ladder 3 is slidably installed inside each U-shaped track frame 2. A rubber telescopic cylinder 7, communicating with the base box 1, is provided between the two U-shaped track frames 2, and a horn cover 13 is interference-fitted to the top of the rubber telescopic cylinder 7. A connecting plate 12 is welded to the upper end of the lifting ladder 3, and the connecting plate 12 is bolted to the horn cover 1. The bottom box 1 is fixedly connected to the edge of the elevator 3. Inclined ladders 11 are welded and installed on the left and right sides of the bottom box 1, and the inclined ladders 11 are located below the U-shaped track frame 2. Several climbing crossbars 14 are welded at equal intervals at the opening of the U-shaped track frame 2, and several U-shaped railings 6 are welded at equal intervals at the opening end of the U-shaped track frame 2. The inclined ladders 11 are welded and installed on the left and right sides of the bottom box 1, located below the U-shaped track frame. Their inclination angle is scientifically designed and conforms to the principles of ergonomics, making it easy for pickers to climb the elevator 3. The climbing crossbars 14 and U-shaped railings at the opening of the U-shaped track frame provide reliable gripping points and protective measures for pickers to climb to higher positions, effectively ensuring the personal safety of pickers when working at heights. The bottom box 1, as the basic load-bearing component of the entire picking rack, has two U-shaped track frames welded to its top surface, which provide stable sliding tracks for the elevator 3. The guide grooves precisely set inside each U-shaped track frame are in close cooperation with the guide strips 4 welded on the left and right sides of the elevator 3. During the sliding process of the guide strips 4 in the guide grooves, not only can the elevator 3 be raised and lowered vertically to avoid deviation and shaking, but the lateral forces generated when the picking personnel work on the elevator 3 can also be dispersed to ensure the stability of the overall structure.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The upper parts of the two U-shaped track frames 2 facing each other are welded with vertical blocks 8, and two plum blossom knobs 9 are interlaced on the surface of the vertical blocks 8 from bottom to top. The lower surface of the lifting ladder 3 has a set of screw holes 17 corresponding to the plum blossom knobs 9 in pairs. This design fully considers the flexibility and versatility of adjusting the picking height. The screw holes 17 corresponding to the plum blossom knobs 9 on the lower surface of the lifting ladder 3 form a precise positioning and locking system. In actual use, pickers can freely adjust the position of the lifting ladder 3 within a certain range according to the different heights of the honeysuckle trees. After adjusting to the appropriate height, simply tighten the plum blossom knobs 9 so that they tightly engage with the corresponding screw holes 17 to firmly lock the lifting ladder 3 onto the U-shaped track frame. Even during long-term picking operations, this effectively prevents the lifting ladder 3 from sliding or loosening, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the picking work.
[0026] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Guide strips 4 are welded to both the left and right sides of the lifting ladder 3. Guide grooves corresponding to the guide strips 4 are formed on the left and right sides of the U-shaped track frame 2. The guide strips 4 are slidably connected to the guide grooves of the U-shaped track frame 2. This sliding connection between the guide strips 4 on both sides of the lifting ladder 3 and the guide grooves on the left and right sides of the U-shaped track frame is a key structure ensuring the smooth lifting of the lifting ladder 3. The guide strips 4 are made of high-strength metal material with a special surface treatment, exhibiting excellent wear resistance and smoothness. During the lifting process of the lifting ladder 3, the guide strips 4 can slide smoothly within the guide grooves. Simultaneously, the inner wall of the guide grooves effectively limits the guide strips 4, preventing the lifting ladder 3 from shifting left or right or swaying back and forth during vertical movement. This precise sliding connection structure not only improves the convenience of lifting operation of the lifting ladder 3 but also further enhances the stability of the picking rack during use, making picking operations on the lifting ladder 3 safer for pickers.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The rubber telescopic cylinder 7 has a wavy cross-section and is arranged parallel to the two U-shaped track frames 2. The rubber telescopic cylinder 7 between the two U-shaped track frames is connected to the base box 1. Its wavy cross-section design gives the rubber telescopic cylinder 7 good telescopic performance. During the ascent or descent of the elevator 3, the rubber telescopic cylinder 7 can freely extend or retract, always maintaining a tight connection with the top connecting plate 12 of the elevator 3. The connecting plate 12 is fixed to the edge of the horn cover 13 by bolts, so that the horn cover 13 can stably receive the harvested honeysuckle.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The large opening of the horn-shaped cover 13 faces upwards, and the small opening of the horn-shaped cover 13 is connected to the top of the rubber telescopic cylinder 7. This design, with the large opening facing upwards and the small opening connected to the top of the rubber telescopic cylinder 7, is to better meet the needs of honeysuckle harvesting and collection. The large opening design increases the receiving area of the honeysuckle, allowing harvesters to easily place the harvested honeysuckle into the horn-shaped cover 13 without needing to aim precisely. The small opening connected to the rubber telescopic cylinder 7 ensures that the honeysuckle can smoothly slide through the rubber telescopic cylinder 7 into the bottom box 1, forming an efficient honeysuckle collection channel. Furthermore, the shape of the horn-shaped cover 13 also helps to prevent honeysuckle from falling during harvesting, reducing scattering and improving the collection rate.
[0029] Please refer to Figure 1The lower surface of the bottom box 1 has a drain outlet 5, and a door 10 is hinged inside the drain outlet 5. The drain outlet 5 provides a convenient passage for removing honeysuckle. The door 10, hinged inside the drain outlet 5, can fit tightly against the bottom box 1 when closed, effectively preventing the honeysuckle from being affected by the external environment, such as dust and rainwater, thus ensuring the quality of the honeysuckle. After the harvesting operation is completed, the harvesters only need to open the door 10 to easily remove the honeysuckle collected in the bottom box 1. The operation is simple and convenient, greatly improving the efficiency of post-harvest processing of honeysuckle. At the same time, the hinged design of the door 10 makes the door 10 more flexible in opening and closing, and it has good durability, able to withstand multiple opening and closing operations without being easily damaged.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 2 An elastic plate 15 is installed on the lower inner side of the base box 1, and springs 16 connected to the bottom inner side of the base box 1 are welded to the four corners of the bottom surface of the elastic plate 15. The elastic plate 15 and the springs 16 welded to the four corners of the bottom surface together form a highly efficient buffer and shock absorption structure. When the harvested honeysuckle falls into the base box 1 through the rubber telescopic cylinder 7 and the horn cover 13, the elastic plate 15 will compress the springs 16 downward under the impact force of the honeysuckle. The elastic deformation of the springs 16 can effectively absorb the impact force when the honeysuckle falls, slow down the falling speed of the honeysuckle, and prevent the honeysuckle from being damaged by hitting the bottom of the base box 1. This buffer structure not only protects the integrity of the honeysuckle and reduces the damage rate of honeysuckle during the harvesting process, but also effectively prevents the loss of the effective components of honeysuckle due to impact, which is of great significance for ensuring the quality and medicinal value of honeysuckle.
[0031] Working principle:
[0032] First, move the picking rack to a suitable position next to the honeysuckle tree. If the height of the lifting ladder 3 needs to be adjusted, loosen the plum blossom knob 9. At this time, the lifting ladder 3 can slide freely up and down along the guide groove in the U-shaped track frame under the guidance of the guide bar 4. After the lifting ladder 3 is adjusted to a suitable picking height, tighten the plum blossom knob 9 so that it fits tightly with the corresponding screw hole 17, and securely lock the lifting ladder 3. Pickers can climb the lifting ladder 3 via the inclined ladder 11, and then climb to the required height with the help of the climbing bar 14 and the U-shaped railing to pick honeysuckle. The picked honeysuckle can be directly put into the trumpet cover 13. After being collected through the large opening of the trumpet cover 13, it slides into the bottom box 1 through the rubber telescopic tube 7 connected to it. The elastic plate 15 and spring 16 on the lower inner side of the bottom box 1 form a buffer structure to prevent the honeysuckle from being damaged during the fall. After picking is completed, open the box door 10 of the discharge outlet 5 to take out the honeysuckle collected in the bottom box 1. Once the work is finished, loosen the plum blossom knob 9 and slide the elevator 3 downwards to fold it for easy storage and transport.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
