Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural tools, specifically to a high-efficiency morel mushroom harvesting device. Background Technology

[0002] Morel mushrooms, named for their stomach-like caps, are low-temperature, high-humidity fungi that thrive in shade. They require diverse soil environments and vegetation types to grow and typically fruit in late spring and early summer. Their yield is directly related to rainfall. When harvesting morel mushrooms, the harvester usually holds the mushroom by the head and then uses a blade to cut it from the base.

[0003] For example, the domestic patent CN114885759A, a morel mushroom picking shear, uses the above-mentioned method for picking. In this way, the head of the morel mushroom needs to be supported by hand during the picking and cutting process. Therefore, the surface of the morel mushroom head is easily damaged by external force. If the hand support is not strong enough, it may not be possible to cut it in one go when using a knife to pick it. The cut of the morel mushroom may be uneven, affecting the appearance of the morel mushroom. At the same time, if the worker's fingers are accidentally scratched when using scissors or blades to pick it, they may be scratched. Picking also requires frequent bending over, which can easily cause back fatigue.

[0004] Based on this, this utility model designs a high-efficiency morel mushroom harvesting device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0025] 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.

[0026] The terms "left," "right," "front," "back," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to the orientation from the perspective of the front view.

[0027] Example 1: In some embodiments, please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-5 A morel mushroom high-efficiency harvesting device includes a harvesting tube 1, a cutting component 2 and a stabilizing component 3 for harvesting morel mushrooms. A handle 4 is fixedly connected to the harvesting tube 1. The harvesting tube 1 has a longitudinal groove 5, a front groove 6 and a rear groove 7. The cutting component 2 is installed on the outside of the harvesting tube 1 and the stabilizing component 3 is installed inside the harvesting tube 1.

[0028] The cutting assembly 2 includes an outer cylinder 201, a connecting rod 203, a lever 204, a small spring 205, a cutter 206, and a rotating shaft 207. The outer cylinder 201 is fixedly connected to the harvesting tube 1. A top hole 202 is provided at the top of the outer cylinder 201, and the connecting rod 203 is installed inside the top hole 202. The lever 204 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 203. The lever 204 is located above the fixing plate 301 and is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 301. The front and rear ends of the lever 204 pass through the front groove 6 and the rear groove 7 respectively. A small spring 205 is fixedly connected to the lever 204. The end of the small spring 205 away from the lever 204 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the picking tube 1. A cutter 206 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 203. A rotating shaft 207 is rotatably connected to the cutter 206. The rotating shaft 207 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer cylinder 201. The center of the rotating shaft 207 and the rotation center of the lever 204 are located on the same vertical line.

[0029] During cutting, the operator uses their index or middle finger to move the long end of the lever 204, causing the lever 204 to rotate. The short end of the lever 204 then moves in an arc shape within the arc-shaped top hole 202. The bottom of the connecting rod 203 drives the cutter 206 to move in the same arc shape around the rotating shaft 207, thereby cutting the root and stem of the morel mushroom. After completion, the lever 204 is reset by the action of the small spring 205, making it convenient for the next cutting operation.

[0030] The stabilizing component 3 includes a fixed plate 301, a large spring 302, a movable plate 303, a lifting rod 304, a guide rod 305, a base plate 306, and claw-shaped components. The fixed plate 301 is fixedly connected inside the harvesting tube 1. The large spring 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 301. The movable plate 303 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the large spring 302. The lifting rod 304 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the movable plate 303. The lifting rod 304 passes through the longitudinal groove 5, which is located below the handle 4. The guide rod 305 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 303. The base plate 306 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide rod 305. Claw-shaped components are installed below the base plate 306. There are four claw-shaped components, which are symmetrically distributed on the base plate 306.

[0031] During harvesting, the operator holds handle 4, aligns the bottom of harvesting tube 1 with morel mushrooms, and uses the little finger and ring finger to lift the lifting rod 304, causing the moving plate 303 to slide upward in the harvesting tube 1, thereby causing the bottom plate 306 to slide upward in the harvesting tube 1 under the action of the guide rod 305.

[0032] The claw-shaped assembly includes an upper connecting seat 307, a stabilizing claw 308, a connector 309, and a lower connecting seat 310. The upper connecting seat 307 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 306. The stabilizing claw 308 is rotatably connected to the upper connecting seat 307. The connector 309 is fixedly connected to the stabilizing claw 308. The lower connecting seat 310 is rotatably connected to the connector 309. The lower connecting seat 310 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the harvesting tube 1.

[0033] During the ascent of the base plate 306, the upper connecting seat 307 drives the top of the stabilizing claw 308 to move upward. Under the action of the connecting head 309 and the lower connecting seat 310, the bottom of the stabilizing claw 308 closes, thereby clamping and stabilizing the head of the morel mushroom, facilitating the next step of cutting.

[0034] Working principle: During harvesting, the operator holds handle 4, with their thumb and forefinger gripping it. The index and middle fingers are spread and rest on lever 204, while the ring and little fingers are hooked under lifting lever 304. The bottom of harvesting tube 1 is aligned with the morel mushroom, and the operator uses their little and ring fingers to lift lever 304, causing moving plate 303 to rise. This, in turn, causes bottom plate 306 to rise under the action of guide rod 305. During the rise of bottom plate 306, upper connecting seat 307 drives the top of stabilizing claw 308 to rise. Under the action of connecting head 309 and lower connecting seat 310, the bottom of stabilizing claw 308 closes, thus gripping and stabilizing the head of the morel mushroom. The operator then uses their index and middle fingers to grip the handle 4, with their thumb and forefinger resting on lever 204, and their ring and little fingers hooked under the lifting lever 304. The long end of the lever 204 is rotated by flicking the middle finger, causing the short end of the lever 204 to move in an arc shape within the arc-shaped top hole 202. The bottom of the connecting rod 203 drives the cutter 206 to move in the same arc shape around the rotating shaft 207, thereby cutting the root of the morel mushroom. After cutting, the bottom of the picking tube 1 can be directly aligned with the collection box. The lifting rod 304 is released, and under the action of the large spring 302, the stabilizing claw 308 opens, releasing the lever 204. Under the action of the small spring 205, the lever 204 is reset, and the morel mushroom falls into the collection box, completing the picking. The above operation can be repeated next time. There is no need to bend over, and it can be operated with one hand.

[0035] 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 spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
