[0002] Flower and fruit thinning is an important technical measure in fruit tree management that uses artificial or chemical means to regulate the number of flowers and fruits in order to improve fruit set rate, fruit quality and yield. It further improves the quality of the fruit and is also another manifestation of flower and fruit preservation.

[0003] Patent document CN217308396U discloses a handheld kiwifruit thinning tool, which includes "a telescopic rod, a connector, two lower blade clips, two upper blade clips, two blades, and two silicone sleeves with three teeth installed at the front end of the telescopic rod. The blades are clamped between the upper and lower blade clips by fixing screws to form blade clips. The silicone sleeves have three teeth, each tooth tip thickness is about 4mm, the tooth spacing is 20mm, and a T-shaped opening in the middle is opened to fit the blade clips. The lower blade clips are connected to J-shaped kits. The vertical part of the J-shaped kits is about 10cm long, and the bottom end has 6 holes with a hole spacing of 5mm. The two J-shaped kits are overlapped and fixed to the connector. The connection holes can be adjusted to adjust the width between the left and right blades. The minimum width of the left and right blades is 25mm, and the maximum width can reach 65mm. This utility model can retain more of the main flower (central fruit) and prevent scratching of young fruit while improving the efficiency of thinning flowers and fruits."

[0004] However, the aforementioned handheld kiwi fruit thinner in the published literature mainly addresses the problem that existing thinners are prone to scratching young fruit during use. However, this thinner uses a blade head for thinning flowers and fruits, and it is not easy to put away when not in use, resulting in a high risk of injury.

[0005] In view of this, it is necessary to develop a handheld auxiliary device for thinning apricot flowers and fruits, so as to improve the safety of the thinning device. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a handheld auxiliary device for thinning flowers and fruits of apricot trees, so as to solve the technical problem mentioned in the background art that the flower and fruit thinner uses a blade head to thin flowers and fruits, and is not easy to put away when not in use, resulting in a high degree of danger.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a handheld apricot tree thinning and fruit thinning aid, comprising: an adjusting rod, a mounting frame installed at the top of the adjusting rod, movable components installed at both ends of the mounting frame, a fruit thinning component and a flower thinning component installed at one end of each movable component, the movable component comprising a mounting shell, a connecting shaft, a rotating shaft, and a second elastic positioning component, the mounting shells being installed at both ends of the mounting frame, the rotating shaft being installed on the outer side of one end of the connecting shaft, the second elastic positioning component being symmetrically installed on both sides of the connecting shaft, the connecting shaft being installed on the inner side of the mounting shell via the rotating shaft, and the other end of the connecting shaft being connected to the fruit thinning component and the flower thinning component respectively.

[0023] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Example:

[0025] A handheld apricot tree thinning and fruit thinning aid includes an adjusting rod 4, a mounting frame 10 installed at the top of the adjusting rod 4, movable components 11 installed at both ends of the mounting frame 10, and a fruit thinning component and a flower thinning component installed at one end of the movable component 11. The movable component 11 includes a mounting shell 12, a connecting shaft 13, a rotating shaft 14, and a second elastic positioning component 15. The mounting shell 12 is installed at both ends of the mounting frame 10, the rotating shaft 14 is installed on the outer side of one end of the connecting shaft 13, the second elastic positioning component 15 is symmetrically installed on both sides of the connecting shaft 13, the connecting shaft 13 is installed on the inner side of the mounting shell 12 through the rotating shaft 14, and the other end of the connecting shaft 13 is connected to the fruit thinning component and the flower thinning component.

[0026] The adjusting rod 4 is movably installed inside the mounting cylinder 1, allowing it to move up and down from the top of the mounting cylinder 1, thus adjusting the length of the auxiliary device. Both the adjusting rod 4 and the mounting cylinder 1 are made of stainless steel, providing stable support for the top fruit and flower thinning components. The movable component 11 serves as a movable connection, linking the mounting frame 10 to the fruit and flower thinning components. This allows the fruit and flower thinning components to rotate at both ends of the mounting frame 10 via the movable component 11. The connecting shaft 13 in the movable component 11 is installed inside the mounting housing 12 via the rotating shaft 14, allowing the fruit and flower thinning components to rotate up and down via the connecting shaft 13. When in use, the connecting shaft 13 is flipped to be level with the inside of the mounting housing 12, so that the positioning button 9 in the second elastic positioning component 15 enters the positioning hole 3 opened on the outside of the mounting housing 12, thereby fixing the connecting shaft 13 and allowing the fruit thinning component and flower thinning component to be used horizontally. When the fruit thinning component and flower thinning component are not needed, the operator presses the positioning button 9 inward and applies flipping pressure downward to the connecting shaft 13, so that the fruit thinning component and flower thinning component are flipped 90 degrees and folded up, reducing the area occupied. At the same time, when the fruit thinning component and flower thinning component do not need to be used at the same time, one of them can be flipped downward and folded up to avoid one of them being horizontal and obstructing the normal use of the fruit thinning component or flower thinning component during fruit thinning or flower thinning.

[0027] The fruit thinning assembly includes a first mounting base 16, a first opening plate 17, and a fruit thinning groove 18. The first mounting base 16 is mounted on one end of the connecting shaft 13, the first opening plate 17 is mounted on one side of the first mounting base 16, and the fruit thinning groove 18 is opened on one side of the first opening plate 17.

[0028] The first mounting base 16 provides a position for the installation of the first opening plate 17, and the first opening plate 17 provides a position for the opening of the fruit thinning groove 18. The fruit thinning groove 18 consists of three grooves. The outer groove is wider and the inner groove is narrower. The two grooves are connected by an inclined groove. When the workers thin the fruit through the fruit thinning groove 18, the branches that connect the fruit can easily enter the narrower groove through the wider outer groove and the middle transition inclined groove. Then, by pulling, the fruit is separated from the branches.

[0029] The flower-reducing assembly includes a second mounting base 19, a second opening plate 20, and a flower-reducing groove 21. The second mounting base 19 is mounted on one end of another connecting shaft 13, the second opening plate 20 is mounted on one side of the second mounting base 19, and the flower-reducing groove 21 is opened on one side of the second opening plate 20.

[0030] The shape of the flower thinning trough 21 is the same as that of the fruit thinning trough 18, but the overall volume of the flower thinning trough 21 is smaller than that of the fruit thinning trough 18, which makes it easier to thin the apricot blossoms.

[0031] A first elastic positioning component 5 is symmetrically installed on the outer side of the bottom end of the adjusting rod 4. The first elastic positioning component 5 includes a mounting groove 6, a spring 7, a connecting plate 8, and a positioning button 9. The mounting groove 6 is symmetrically opened on both sides of the bottom end of the adjusting rod 4. The spring 7 is installed inside the mounting groove 6. The connecting plate 8 is movably fitted inside the mounting groove 6 by the spring 7. The positioning button 9 is installed on one side of the connecting plate 8.

[0032] When the auxiliary device is retracted, the positioning button 9 in the first elastic positioning component 5 is compressed inside the mounting groove 6. At this time, the spring 7 is compressed. When the adjusting rod 4 is pulled upward, it drives the first elastic positioning component 5 to move upward. When the positioning button 9 moves to correspond with the positioning hole 3, the spring 7 pops the positioning button 9 outward, so that the positioning button 9 enters the interior of the positioning hole 3, thereby positioning the adjusting rod 4. When the adjusting rod 4 is retracted, the operator can press inward to move the positioning button 9 inward. Since the outer side of the positioning button 9 is arc-shaped, the operator can then press downward to make the positioning button 9 leave the positioning hole 3, so that the adjusting rod 4 can move downward and retract inside the mounting cylinder 1.

[0033] An installation cylinder 1 is installed on the outside of the adjusting rod 4. An anti-slip sleeve 2 is installed on the outside of the bottom end of the installation cylinder 1. Positioning holes 3 connected to the positioning button 9 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the top end of the installation cylinder 1.

[0034] The anti-slip sleeve 2 is made of rubber and serves to prevent slipping, while the positioning hole 3 provides space for the positioning button 9.

[0035] The working principle is as follows: First, pull the adjusting rod 4 upward, which will cause the first elastic positioning components 5 located on both sides of the bottom to move upward. When the positioning button 9 in the first elastic positioning component 5 corresponds to the positioning hole 3, the adjusting rod 4 is positioned. The fruit thinning component and flower thinning component located at the top are used to perform fruit thinning and flower thinning operations on the apricot tree. Since the fruit thinning component and flower thinning component are located on both sides, the staff can switch them at any time, which improves the convenience of the auxiliary device. If there are many branches on the apricot tree, they may be blocked and affect the use. One of them can be flipped downward and folded up through the movable component 11. When needed, it can be flipped upward and positioned horizontally, which makes the auxiliary device more flexible.

[0036] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
