[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. This utility model includes a hand-held part, a connecting rod, and a working part. The hand-held part and the working part are connected by the connecting rod. The connecting rod is provided with a first buffer mechanism for reducing impact force. The first buffer mechanism is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod. A positioning ring is fixed inside the first buffer mechanism on the connecting rod.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0027] Example: A handheld nut harvester with a buffer function, configured as follows Figure 1-7As shown, the device includes a handheld part 101, a connecting rod 201, and a working part 301. The handheld part 101 and the working part 301 are connected by the connecting rod 201. The connecting rod 201 is provided with a first buffer mechanism 202 for reducing impact force. The first buffer mechanism 202 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 201. A positioning ring 203 is fixed inside the first buffer mechanism 202 on the connecting rod 201. The two ends of the first buffer mechanism 202 abut against the positioning ring 203 via a first spring 204. The first buffer mechanism 202 includes a housing 205 sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 201. A receiving groove 2051 is provided between the 5 and the connecting rod 201; a positioning ring 203 is disposed in the receiving groove 2051, the outer end face of the receiving groove 2051 is provided with an upper inner step 206, and the inner end face of the receiving groove 2051 is provided with an inner protrusion of a lower inner step 207; a first spring 204 is respectively disposed between the upper inner step 206 and the positioning ring 203, and between the lower inner step 207 and the positioning ring 203. Through the cooperation of the positioning ring 203 and the first spring 204, part of the impact force received by the user's hand holding the first buffer mechanism 202 during the work of picking nuts can be effectively absorbed. The outer shell 205 is made of silicone, which is soft and comfortable to the touch and has good shock absorption and anti-slip properties, further improving user comfort. The top of the outer shell 205 is rounded, which conforms to the curve of the hand, reducing hand friction and stress concentration, and improving grip comfort to enhance efficiency. A horn-shaped part 211 is provided near the handgrip of the outer shell 205, and the end of the handgrip 101 is accommodated within the horn-shaped part 211, with the horn-shaped part 211 and the top of the handgrip 101 aligned. The two parts are fitted but not in contact, ensuring structural connection stability while avoiding direct contact that could cause additional friction or vibration. The outer shell 205 is composed of two mating parts: a convex shell 208 and a concave shell 209. The inner edge of the convex shell 208 has a first connecting plate 210 extending outward. The two ends of the first connecting plate 210 have limiting steps flush with the upper inner step 206 and the lower inner step 207. The thickness of the first connecting plate 210 is thinner than that of the outer shell 205, and it has multiple through connecting holes 212. The inner edge of the concave shell 209 has a recessed second connecting plate 213 extending inward. The second connecting plate 213 fits into the first connecting plate 210. The two ends of the second connecting plate 213 have grooves that fit the limiting steps, and it has multiple connecting protrusions 215 that fit the connecting holes 212. Compared to the existing integrated housing, the split design of housing 205 makes the disassembly and assembly of the buffer mechanism more convenient, facilitating the subsequent inspection or replacement of internal parts such as springs, and reducing maintenance costs and time. The first connecting plate 210 and the second connecting plate 213 fit together, the limiting step fits together with the groove, and the connecting hole 212 fits together with the connecting protrusion 215, which can prevent relative displacement between the convex shell 208 and the concave shell 209 during use, ensuring the integrity and stability of the housing 205 structure.The distance between the upper inner step 206, the lower inner step 207 and the limiting step of the outer shell 205 and the surface of the connecting rod 201 is smaller than the size of the first spring 204, so as to prevent the first spring 204 from detaching from the outer shell 205 during the movement.

[0028] like Figure 4-7 As shown: The upper part of the handheld part 101 is provided with a fixed rod 109, and the two sides of the fixed rod 109 are provided with second springs 110. A second buffer mechanism 11 is provided between the second springs 110. The upper part of the second buffer mechanism 11 is connected to the grip handle 106. The second buffer mechanism 11 includes a slider 104 passing through the fixed rod. A third connecting plate 103 is provided above the slider 104. The third connecting plate 103 is inverted triangular in shape. This structure allows the grip handle to be held in a specific position when there is no external force. A limiting plate 102 is provided above the third connecting plate 103. A limiting plate connecting block 105 is provided above the limiting plate 102. The limiting plate connecting block 105 is connected and fixed to the grip handle 106. The outer layer of the grip handle 106 is made of silicone material, which further improves the user's grip comfort and has a certain anti-slip performance, which helps to increase the stability of the grip. The slider 104 has a passage gap 107 inside, and a linear bearing 108 is installed inside the passage gap 107. The linear bearing 108 is sleeved on the fixed rod 109. Second springs 110 are installed on the fixed rods 109 on both sides of the slider 104 to provide cushioning for the user's hand holding the handle 106. A dustproof plate 111 is provided between the limiting plate 102 and the second buffer mechanism 11. The dustproof plate 111 is composed of two pieces. The connecting part of the dustproof plate 111 has a limiting plate groove 113. The limiting plate groove 113 is higher than the dustproof plate 111 itself, which can effectively prevent dust and debris from entering the interior of the first hand grip, avoid internal parts from being worn or jammed due to contamination, and extend the service life of the equipment. The handle 101 is also provided with a handle slide groove 112 above it. The bottom of the dustproof plate 111 is set in the handle slide groove 112. The top of the third connecting plate 103 is slidably set in the dustproof plate 111 and the limiting plate slide groove 113, so that the sliding range of the limiting plate 102 is larger and more stable, and the safety of the harvester is improved.

[0029] When the harvester starts working, the first buffer mechanism 202 set on the connecting rod 201, through the cooperation of the positioning ring 203 and the first spring 204, can effectively absorb part of the impact force on the user's hand when holding the first buffer mechanism 202 during harvesting. At the same time, the second buffer mechanism 11 of the hand forms a secondary buffer by using the slider 104, the fixed rod 109 and the second spring 110 to provide cushioning for the user's hand holding the handle 106. The double buffer structure of the left and right hands significantly improves the vibration attenuation effect, reduces the transmission of vibration to the user, improves the comfort of operation, and avoids the impact during use from affecting the user's hand and causing numbness, which could lead to the harvester slipping out of the hand and damaging the precision parts inside the harvester. Therefore, it further improves the harvesting efficiency, and the setting of the buffer mechanism can reduce the risk of wear and damage to various components caused by high-frequency impact, extend the overall service life of the harvester, and enhance stability and safety.

[0030] Work process

[0031] When the harvester is not in operation, the handle 106 and the first buffer mechanism 202 are in their initial positions, and the first spring 204 and the second spring 110 are in their natural state, without being compressed or stretched.

[0032] When the harvester starts working, the movement and vibration of the internal mechanical components of the handheld part 101 will generate an inertial impact force. At this time, the grip handle 106 will slide along the fixed rod 109 through the slider 104 and the linear bearing 108 according to the inertial impact force, and at the same time drive the limiting plate 102 to slide in the limiting plate groove 113, providing cushioning for the user's hand holding the grip handle 106; at the same time, the outer shell 205 will slide along the connecting rod 201 according to the inertial impact force, providing cushioning for the user's hand holding the first buffer mechanism 202.

[0033] During the sliding motion of the handle 106 and the first buffer mechanism 202, the first spring 204 and the second spring 110 begin to function. The first spring 204 and the second spring 110 are compressed, absorbing and buffering inertial impact forces through their elastic potential energy, reducing damage to the precision parts inside the handgrip 101. Simultaneously, the buffering effect of the first spring 204 and the second spring 110 is also transmitted to the user's left and right hands, reducing hand vibration and impact, and improving comfort during the harvesting process.

[0034] When the inertial impact force disappears or weakens, the first spring 204 and the second spring 110 begin to return to their original length, and through their elasticity, push the grip handle 106 along the fixed rod 109 and the outer shell 205 along the connecting rod 201 back to the initial position.

[0035] In summary, this invention provides dual cushioning for both the left and right hands, offering better shock absorption and reducing user fatigue, improving stability and harvesting efficiency, avoiding damage to the harvester from inertial impacts, and extending its service life.
