Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant collection, and in particular to a blueberry picking and sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Blueberries are an important cash crop, and demand has long exceeded supply in the international market. Blueberry harvesting is a highly labor-intensive operation, and currently, most blueberries are picked by hand. Due to the slow harvesting speed and the relatively high skill requirements for pickers, harvesting costs have risen sharply. Even a skilled picker can only harvest a few dozen kilograms per day on average.

[0003] Manual harvesting is inefficient, and blueberry harvesting is highly seasonal with a short ripening period and high labor intensity. If ripe fruits are not harvested in time, they will fall and cause losses. Therefore, a large amount of manpower is needed to harvest blueberries during the ripening period. At the same time, blueberry harvesting also requires screening to separate larger fruits in order to obtain higher economic value. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a blueberry picking and sorting device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a blueberry picking and sorting device, comprising a tracked walking mechanism, a sorting box fixedly connected to the top of the tracked walking mechanism, a track fixedly connected to the top of the sorting box, an electric slider slidably connected to the top of the track, a rotating platform fixedly connected to the top of the electric slider, an electric telescopic rod fixedly connected to the top of the rotating platform, an intermediate station fixedly connected to the top of the electric telescopic rod, a picking unit fixedly connected to one side of the intermediate station, a funnel fixedly connected to the bottom of the picking unit, a corrugated pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the funnel, a bent pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the corrugated pipe, the bent pipe penetrating the sorting box and extending into the interior, a partition fixedly connected to the interior of the sorting box, a sorting unit fixedly connected to one side of the partition, a fixed sorting plate fixedly connected to the other side of the partition, a movable sorting plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed sorting plate by a spring, and a receiving box slidably connected to the inner bottom of the sorting box.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The shearing unit includes a power box, a sliding plate, a fixed shearing blade, and a movable shearing blade. The power box is fixedly connected to an intermediate station. A sliding plate is fixedly connected to one side of the power box. A fixed shearing blade is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding plate. A movable shearing blade is slidably connected to one side of the sliding plate. The root of the movable shearing blade is an electric slider. A limit plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the power box. The limit plate has a receiving interface inside.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The screening unit includes a motor base, a power motor, and a screening cam. The motor base is fixedly connected to a partition, and the screening cam is connected to the output end of the power motor via a coupling.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The bent pipe is an arc-shaped stainless steel pipe, and the corrugated pipe is a plastic flexible tube.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The machine uses a combination of a picking unit, an electric slider, and a rotating platform to pick blueberries. At the same time, a screening cam strikes and shakes a screening plate, leaving larger blueberries on the fixed screening plate. This not only achieves machine picking but also sorts out large fruits, greatly improving picking efficiency. Attached Figure Description
