Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery, and more specifically, to a handheld harvesting device. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional seed harvesting equipment typically relies on large-scale mechanized machinery, using tractor-mounted harvesting platforms to achieve large-scale harvesting of tall, densely growing crops. However, such equipment has significant limitations when dealing with short-stalked, dispersed crops like milkvetch. Milkvetch plants are characterized by short stems, scattered branching, uneven seed pod distribution, and a tendency to crack easily. Large harvesting devices struggle to accurately locate effective seed pods, leading to missed pods or seed loss during operation. Furthermore, the harvested material contains a large amount of stem impurities, increasing subsequent cleaning costs. Simultaneously, traditional equipment is bulky and cumbersome, unsuitable for small-scale planting and unable to maneuver flexibly in complex terrain, resulting in high purchase costs and low utilization rates. Currently, there are no lightweight, dedicated harvesting tools available for such crops, forcing farmers to rely heavily on manual harvesting, which suffers from low efficiency, high labor intensity, and unsatisfactory seed collection rates.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0027] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In a preferred embodiment, the handheld harvesting device of this utility model mainly includes a handheld component 1 and a cutting component 2. The handheld component 1 includes a rod 11, a power supply battery 12 detachably connected to the rod 11, and a handheld part 13 disposed on the rod 11. The cutting component 2 is disposed at one end of the rod 11 and includes a protective cover 21, a blade assembly 22, a drive assembly 23, and a seed bag 24. The protective cover 21 is rotatably connected to the rod 11. The blade assembly 22 and the drive assembly 23 are disposed inside the protective cover 21. The seed bag 24 is detachably connected to the protective cover 21 and is located below the blade assembly 22.
[0029] For example, the pole 11 can be a telescopic pole, allowing for flexible adjustment of the operating distance according to crop height and working environment, while significantly reducing the storage volume when not in use and improving transportation convenience. The power supply battery 12 can be an existing rechargeable battery, which is detachably connected to the pole 11. For example, the power supply battery 12 can be housed in a battery box, which is connected to the pole 11 via a snap-fit 242 or bolts, while also electrically connecting the power supply battery 12 to the drive assembly 23. The handle 13 is formed in a ring shape for easy hand grip. The protective cover 21 is rotatably connected to the pole 11, facilitating adjustment of the harvesting angle, and the protective cover 21 shields the blade assembly 22, preventing seed splashing during harvesting and improving safety and harvesting efficiency.
[0030] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the handheld component 1 allows for manual hand-held operation, which is suitable for harvesting seeds of short-stalked, scattered crops, improving the overall portability and operational flexibility of the equipment. Furthermore, it enables more precise harvesting, avoiding the problem of leaving a large portion of the stalks after harvesting with traditional large-scale harvesting equipment. By setting up the seed bag 24, the harvested seeds can be immediately placed into the bag, thereby improving harvesting efficiency. The seed bag 24 is detachable, simplifying the post-collection cleaning process and improving ease of use. The removable power supply battery 12 facilitates quick replacement to extend operating time. The protective cover 21 is rotatably connected to the pole 11 to adapt to different operating angle requirements.

For example, both the fixed blade 221 and the movable blade 222 have a blade head with teeth arranged on it. The blade heads of the fixed blade 221 and the movable blade 222 face each other. When the movable blade 222 moves relative to the fixed blade 221, the teeth of the two blades alternately stagger and overlap, thereby cutting the plant. The stacked cutting of the fixed blade 221 and the movable blade 222 can adapt to the plant morphology of milkvetch seeds, effectively reducing the probability of plant damage and improving harvesting efficiency and harvest integrity.
[0032] The drive assembly 23 includes a drive element 231 and an eccentric wheel 232. The moving blade 222 is provided with a first guide groove 2221, and the eccentric wheel 232 passes through the first guide groove 2221. For example, the drive element 231 can be a motor, whose output shaft is connected to the eccentric wheel 232. Through the cooperation of the eccentric wheel 232 and the first guide groove 2221, the rotational motion is converted into linear reciprocating motion, ensuring the stability of the cutting action, while simplifying the transmission structure and reducing the risk of equipment failure and maintenance difficulty.
[0033] The fixed blade 221 is provided with a second guide groove 2211 perpendicular to the first guide groove 2221, and the movable blade 222 is provided with a guide post 2222, which passes through the second guide groove 2211. Through the cooperation of the guide post 2222 and the second guide groove 2211, the movement of the movable blade 222 can be limited to ensure the accuracy of the cutting trajectory.
[0034] In this embodiment, the handheld part 13 is provided with a control button for activating the drive assembly 23. By placing the control button on the handheld part 13, it is convenient for the user to control the device, improving the operation response speed while maintaining grip stability. It can be turned off when the hand is released and started when the handle is gripped. The drive assembly 23 does not rotate or spin freely, and it will not cause injury if the device is dropped, thus enhancing operational safety.
[0035] A handle 111 is provided at the end of the rod 11 away from the cutting assembly 2. The end handle 111 is designed to optimize the distribution of the equipment's center of gravity, provide multiple grip options to adapt to different working postures, effectively relieve hand fatigue during long-term operation, and enhance operating comfort.
