Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of collection device technology, specifically to a mulberry fruit collection device. Background Technology
[0002] Mulberries are a nutritious fruit, but during harvesting, ripe mulberries are easily knocked off by even the slightest touch, resulting in a large number of fruits falling directly to the ground, causing waste and pollution. Traditional harvesting methods mainly rely on manual picking or simple collection tools, but these are inefficient and cannot completely prevent fruit damage or contamination.
[0003] Currently, there are some mulberry fruit collection devices on the market, which usually use a hanging collection method. However, these devices still have the following drawbacks:
[0004] 1. Because mulberries fall off very easily after ripening, a large number of fruits will fall directly to the ground during the picking process. Existing collection devices often cannot effectively cover a large area of fallen fruit, resulting in some fruits not being collected and increasing the workload of manual picking.
[0005] 2. Existing mulberry fruit collection devices, especially suspended collection troughs, typically employ fixed structures or simple rope suspension methods, making it difficult to flexibly adjust to different mulberry tree heights and branch distributions. This not only affects the collection efficiency but may also disrupt harvesting operations due to unstable device installation.
[0006] Therefore, in view of this, we studied and improved the existing structure and proposed a mulberry fruit collection device. Utility Model Content

[0025] 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.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-3 A mulberry fruit collection device includes a collection trough 1, with several support legs 2 at the bottom of the collection trough 1. The collection trough 1 is composed of two C-shaped grooves 101, which are combined to form a circular groove shape. The inner diameter of the circular groove is 30-50cm and the outer diameter is 50-80cm. The dimensions are set according to the trunk diameter of an adult mulberry tree (usually 10-20cm) and the outward extension range of the canopy branches (approximately 20-30cm on one side), ensuring that the collection trough can cover most of the fallen fruit area, while avoiding material waste due to excessive size. It is convenient to place the collection trough 1 directly under the mulberry tree to collect fallen mulberries. Rectangular frames 102 are fixedly installed on both sides of the C-shaped trough 101. A snap-fit component 3 is installed in one of the rectangular frames 102, and the snap-fit components 3 on the two C-shaped troughs 101 snap-fit with the other rectangular frame 102 on the corresponding C-shaped trough 101. The snap-fit component 3 includes an L-shaped locking block 301 that is slidably installed in one of the rectangular frames 102. A spring 302 is fixedly installed between the two L-shaped locking blocks 301. The two L-shaped locking blocks 301 move through the other rectangular frame 102 and snap-fit with the other rectangular frame 102, thereby realizing the connection of the two C-shaped troughs 101.
[0027] Please see Figure 1-2 , Figure 4The support leg 2 is threaded to the bottom of the C-shaped groove 101. The support leg 2 includes a support cylinder 201, and a support rod 202 is slidably disposed inside the support cylinder 201. A threaded groove 103 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the C-shaped groove 101, and the support rod 202 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 103, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the support leg 2 and the C-shaped groove 101. A braking assembly 5 is provided on the support cylinder 201 to brake the movement of the support rod 202. The braking assembly 5 includes a sliding frame 501 fixedly disposed on one side of the support cylinder 201. Two opposing movable clamps 502 are slidably disposed inside the sliding frame 501. The two movable clamps 502 respectively move through both sides of the sliding frame 501, and are fixedly disposed at their ends. The support rod 202 has several locking holes evenly distributed along its height on both sides. The locking block movably passes through the support cylinder 201 and engages with the locking holes on the support rod 202. A bidirectional threaded rod 503 is rotatably installed inside the sliding frame 501, and the bidirectional threaded rod 503 is threadedly connected to two movable clamps 502. The bidirectional threaded rod 503 has a positive thread and a negative thread, with the positive thread being opposite to the negative thread. One movable clamp 502 has a positive thread hole for the positive thread to rotate, and the other movable clamp 502 has a negative thread hole for the negative thread to rotate. A handle 504 is rotatably installed on one side of the sliding frame 501, and the handle 504 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 503 to rotate. When the bidirectional threaded rod 503 rotates, it can drive the two movable clamps 502 to move in opposite directions. A soil-penetrating cone 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support cylinder 201, and a limiting sleeve 401 is fixedly fitted around the soil-penetrating cone 4 to limit the depth of penetration into the soil.
[0028] The working principle of this utility model:
[0029] When a collection device needs to be installed under a mulberry tree, first surround the main trunk of the mulberry tree with two C-shaped grooves 101, and then move two L-shaped clips 301 toward the spring 302. At this time, the two L-shaped clips 301 can be inserted into the corresponding rectangular frame 102. When the two C-shaped grooves 101 are in contact, the two L-shaped clips 301 can be released. At this time, the spring 302 can push the L-shaped clips 301, so that the L-shaped clips 301 can be engaged with the corresponding rectangular frame 102.
[0030] Then, the length of the support leg 2 can be adjusted as needed. The handle 504 can be rotated to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 503 to rotate. This will cause the two movable clamps 502 to move in opposite directions, allowing the locking block to disengage from the support rod 202. The support cylinder 201 can then be moved on the support rod 202. After adjusting to a suitable height, the handle 504 can be rotated in the opposite direction to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 503 to rotate, causing the two movable clamps 502 to move toward the support cylinder 201, thus allowing the locking block to engage with the support rod 202. At this point, the length of the support leg 2 can be determined.
[0031] The collection trough 1 can then be moved downwards to drive the soil entry cone 4 into the soil, thus completing the installation of the device.
[0032] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
