Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of honeysuckle harvesting, specifically relating to a honeysuckle harvesting machine. Background Technology

[0002] A honeysuckle harvesting machine is a portable agricultural device specifically designed for harvesting honeysuckle, aiming to improve harvesting efficiency and reduce manual labor intensity. Honeysuckle, as an important traditional Chinese medicine and beverage ingredient, is typically harvested manually, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. The harvesting machine, through mechanized harvesting, can quickly and gently pick the honeysuckle buds while avoiding damage to the plant.

[0003] Some existing honeysuckle harvesting equipment relies on simple mechanical gripping or suction methods during harvesting. These devices often lack an effective restraint mechanism for the honeysuckle branches, failing to securely fix and guide them when the harvesting components approach the honeysuckle and perform the harvesting action. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a honeysuckle harvesting machine to solve the problem that some existing honeysuckle harvesting devices rely on simple mechanical gripping or adsorption methods during harvesting. These devices often lack an effective constraint mechanism for the honeysuckle branches, and cannot stably fix and guide the honeysuckle branches when the harvesting parts approach the honeysuckle and perform the harvesting action.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a honeysuckle picking machine, including a picking box and a fan installed inside the upper side of the picking box for providing picking power;

[0006] The bottom of the picking box is provided with a bottom cover, and a suction tube is connected to the left side of the picking box;

[0007] The end of the suction tube is provided with a harvester head, and a remote control handle for control is connected to the upper right side of the harvester head.

[0008] The picking box is powered by an internal power source.

[0009] The lower side of the harvester head has an internal space, and a guide roller is installed inside the internal space.

[0010] Fixed seats are respectively provided at the lower front and rear ends of the right side of the harvester head. A swing rod is provided on the inner side of the fixed seat. A guide rod is provided in the middle of the end of the swing rod. A fixing knob is provided at the connection between the right end of the swing rod and the fixed seat.

[0011] Preferably, the fixing knob passes through the rocker arm, and the fixing knob is connected to the fixing seat by a threaded connection.

[0012] Preferably, the fixed knob protrudes from the outside of the rocker arm and is provided with a limit protrusion, and the fixed knob can be rotated and moved left and right on the fixed seat by means of a thread.

[0013] Preferably, the guide rod is connected to two swing rods via a movable connection, and the guide rod can rotate within the two swing rods.

[0014] Preferably, the two rocker arms can rotate on the fixing knob after the fixing knob is loosened.

[0015] Preferably, a servo motor box is provided on the lower right front side of the harvester head, and a servo motor is provided inside the servo motor box. The guide roller is driven and connected to the motor inside the servo motor box, and the guide roller is connected to the harvester head through a movable connection and can complete the rotation action inside the harvester head.

[0016] Preferably, the internal space of the harvester head is connected to the suction pipe, the exhaust fan creates negative pressure inside the harvesting box, and the bottom cover is connected to the harvesting box by bolts, with a sealing ring at the connection point for sealing.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a honeysuckle harvesting machine, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The swing arm structure allows for flexible position adjustment, enabling quick alignment with honeysuckle branches. In complex honeysuckle planting areas, operators adjust the swing arm, guiding the round rod to quickly lift the branches to be harvested. The guide roller then quickly contacts the honeysuckle for picking, reducing the time spent searching for and locating the honeysuckle. Compared to traditional harvesting methods, this significantly shortens the harvesting cycle, allowing more harvesting tasks to be completed per unit time, greatly improving overall harvesting efficiency.

[0019] 2. Previously, manually harvesting honeysuckle required constant bending and reaching to grab the flowers, which easily led to physical fatigue over long periods. With the assistance of the swing arm structure, operators can complete the harvesting process simply by turning a fixed knob and using a handheld remote control. The guide rod lifts the branches, and the guide roller automatically harvests the flowers, reducing the frequency of direct manual contact with the honeysuckle, lowering the physical strain on various parts of the body, and making the harvesting work much easier.

[0020] Furthermore, the swing arm structure can precisely position the honeysuckle branches, and the guide rod can restrain the branches, making the harvesting process more stable. During harvesting, the guide roller inside the harvester head can better control the harvesting force because the branches are stably restrained, reducing damage to the honeysuckle, ensuring that the harvested honeysuckle has a high degree of integrity, which is beneficial for subsequent processing and sales, and improves the overall quality of honeysuckle.

[0027] 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.

[0028] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The honeysuckle picking machine shown includes a picking box 1 and a fan 2 installed inside the upper side of the picking box 1 to provide picking power.

[0029] A bottom cover 3 is provided on the lower side of the picking box 1, and a suction tube 4 is connected to the left side of the picking box 1;

[0030] The end of the suction tube 4 is provided with a harvester head 5, and a remote control handle 6 for control is connected to the upper right side of the harvester head 5.

[0031] The picking box 1 is powered by an internal power source.

[0032] An internal space is provided on the lower side of the harvester head 5, and a guide roller 8 is installed in the internal space;

[0033] A fixed seat 11 is provided at the lower front and rear ends of the right side of the harvester head 5. A swing rod 9 is provided on the inner side of the fixed seat 11. A guide rod 10 is provided at the middle of the end of the swing rod 9. A fixing knob 12 is provided at the connection between the right end of the swing rod 9 and the fixed seat 11.

[0034] A servo motor box 7 is located on the lower right front side of the harvester head 5. A servo motor is installed inside the servo motor box 7. The guide roller 8 is connected to the motor inside the servo motor box 7. The guide roller 8 is connected to the harvester head 5 through a movable connection and can complete the rotation action inside the harvester head 5.

[0035] The internal space of the harvester head 5 is connected to the suction pipe 4. The exhaust fan 2 creates negative pressure inside the harvesting box 1. The bottom cover 3 is connected to the harvesting box 1 by bolts, and a sealing ring is provided at the connection for sealing.

[0036] In this embodiment, the user first locates the area where honeysuckle needs to be picked and observes the distribution of the honeysuckle branches. Then, the user can loosen the fixing knob 12, rotate the swing rod 9 according to the position and angle of the branches, and adjust the position of the guide rod 10 so that it can easily pick up the branches to be picked. After adjustment, tighten the fixing knob 12 to fix the rotation angle of the swing rod 9.

[0037] Next, the harvester can be controlled by holding the remote control handle 6. The harvester head 5 is brought close to the raised honeysuckle branches, and the harvester head 5 is pressed down, causing the guide roller 8 to contact the honeysuckle on the branches. The servo motor in the servo motor box 7 is started, driving the guide roller 8 to rotate, and the harvesting of honeysuckle begins. Simultaneously, the exhaust fan 2 creates negative pressure inside the harvesting box 1, and the harvested honeysuckle is sucked into the harvesting box 1 through the internal space of the harvester head 5 and the suction pipe 4.

[0038] The harvesting machine is powered by an internal power source, and a servo motor powers the guide roller 8, causing it to rotate and grasp and pick the honeysuckle. The exhaust fan 2 operates inside the harvesting box 1, creating a negative pressure inside the harvesting head 5 and the suction pipe 4. The negative pressure suction force draws the picked honeysuckle into the harvesting box 1 through the suction pipe 4 for collection.

[0039] The swing rod 9 and the guide rod 10 form an auxiliary positioning structure. The swing rod 9 can rotate flexibly on the fixed base 11 via the fixed knob 12, and its position can be adjusted according to the condition of the honeysuckle branches. The guide rod 10 lifts the branches and acts as a constraint, making it easier for the guide roller 8 to accurately contact the honeysuckle on the branches for harvesting.

[0040] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the fixed knob 12 passes through the rocker arm 9 and is connected to the fixed seat 11 by a threaded connection. The fixed knob 12 protrudes from the outside of the rocker arm 9 and is provided with a limit protrusion. The fixed knob 12 can rotate and move left and right on the fixed seat 11 by the thread. The guide rod 10 is connected to the two rocker arms 9 by a movable connection and can rotate within the two rocker arms 9. The two rocker arms 9 can rotate on the fixed knob 12 after the fixed knob 12 is loosened.

[0041] Preferably, the swing arm structure mainly consists of a swing arm 9, a guide rod 10, a fixed base 11, and a fixed knob 12. Fixed bases 11 are installed at the lower front and rear ends of the right side of the harvester head 5, respectively. The swing arm 9 is located inside the fixed base 11, and the fixed knob 12 passes through the swing arm 9 and is connected to the fixed base 11 via a threaded connection. A guide rod 10 is provided at the middle of the end of the swing arm 9, and the guide rod 10 is connected to the two swing arms 9 via a movable connection, allowing it to rotate within the swing arm 9.

[0042] Before harvesting honeysuckle, the user needs to adjust the swing arm structure accordingly. Because honeysuckle plants vary in shape and have irregularly distributed branches, the position of the swing arm 9 needs to be adjusted based on the actual situation. The user first loosens the fixing knob 12 by hand. At this time, the fixing knob 12 rotates and moves outward within the threads of the fixing seat 11. The limiting protrusion prevents the fixing knob 12 from being excessively turned out and detaching from the fixing seat 11. As the fixing knob 12 loosens, the swing arm 9 is no longer tightly fixed and can rotate around the fixing knob 12.

[0043] The user manually rotates the swing arm 9 according to the growth direction, height, and density of the honeysuckle branches. During rotation, the guide rod 10 moves synchronously with the swing arm 9. When the swing arm 9 is adjusted to a suitable position, allowing the guide rod 10 to precisely lift the honeysuckle branch to be harvested while effectively avoiding interference from surrounding branches and leaves, the user stops rotating the swing arm 9. Next, the user tightens the fixing knob 12 in the opposite direction, causing it to move inward within the threads of the fixing seat 11 until the swing arm 9 is firmly fixed in its current position, ensuring that the swing arm 9 will not wobble due to external forces during subsequent harvesting.

[0044] After adjusting and fixing the swing arm 9, the user holds the remote control handle 6 to control the harvester to approach the honeysuckle branch that has been lifted by the guide rod 10. During the approach, the guide rod 10 not only lifts the branch but also restrains it, keeping the branch relatively stable. The user presses down on the harvester head 5, at which point the guide roller 8 inside the harvester head 5 gradually approaches the honeysuckle on the branch. At the same time, the internal power supply of the harvester starts the servo motor in the servo motor box 7, and the servo motor drives the guide roller 8 to rotate through the transmission device. After the rotating guide roller 8 contacts the honeysuckle, it uses friction to pick the honeysuckle from the branch. During the harvesting process, the exhaust fan 2 creates negative pressure inside the harvesting box 1, and the harvested honeysuckle is sucked into the harvesting box 1 through the internal space of the harvester head 5 and the suction pipe 4.

[0045] 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.
