Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forest management technology, and in particular to a push-type mature seed collection device for forest trees. Background Technology

[0002] When tree seeds mature and fall to the ground, they need to be collected manually. Manual collection is inefficient and labor-intensive, making it unsuitable for large-scale seed collection in forest areas. When using an elastic cage-type seed collection roller, the roller rolls on the ground. When a seed comes into contact with the elastic connecting rod of the cage inside the roller, the connecting rod deforms under the action of gravity, increasing the gap and allowing the seed to enter, thus achieving seed collection and effectively improving the efficiency of seed collection.

[0003] Traditional flexible cage-type seed collection devices are not flexible in use because the connecting rods on the outside of the cage are fixed and the spacing between the rods is fixed. This makes it difficult to adjust the gap between the connecting rods to improve adaptability for different types of trees with different sizes of seeds. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a push-type mature tree seed collection device to solve the problem that traditional elastic cage seed collection devices are not flexible in use because the connecting rods on the outside of the cage are fixed and the spacing between the connecting rods is fixed, making it difficult to adjust and adapt to different sizes of seeds of different tree species.

[0005] This utility model provides a push-type mature tree seed collection device, specifically including: a collector bracket, a push handle welded to the outside of the collector bracket, a central support rod rotatably connected between two support rods of the collector bracket, a seed collection ring movably connected to the central support rod, a ring body adjusting plate fixedly connected inside the seed collection ring through a ring body connecting rod, a ring body through hole opened in the center of the ring body adjusting plate, the ring body through hole movably sleeved with the central support rod, an elastic washer provided between two adjacent seed collection rings, the elastic washer sleeved on the central support rod, a side baffle, a baffle adjusting plate fixedly connected to the center of the side baffle, a baffle through hole opened in the center of the baffle, the baffle through hole movably sleeved with the central support rod, an elastic washer provided on the outside of the side baffle, an end nut spirally connected to the outer end of the central support rod, and a side baffle provided between the end nut and the elastic washer.

[0006] Furthermore, the two ends of the collector bracket are rotatably connected to the mating end cylinders via bearings, and fastening bolts are inserted into the mating end cylinders. The two ends of the central support rod are provided with internal threads, and the internal threads of the support rods are helically connected to the fastening bolts.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer surface of the end of the central support rod is provided with an external thread, which is helically connected to the end nut.

[0008] Furthermore, a nut top sleeve is fixedly connected to the inner end of the end nut, and the inner end face of the nut top sleeve is in close contact with the outer surface of the end washer.

[0009] Furthermore, the seed collecting ring is a stainless steel ring, and the left and right surfaces of the ring body self-aligning plate are respectively provided with a ring body washer docking groove, and the inner groove surface of the ring body washer docking groove is in contact with the elastic gasket.

[0010] Furthermore, the elastic gasket is an annular gasket made of rubber material, and the elastic gasket has a gasket opening.

[0011] Furthermore, the side baffle is a circular plate, and a baffle washer mating groove is provided on each of the two sides of the baffle self-aligning plate, and the baffle washer mating groove is in contact with the elastic gasket.

[0012] This utility model provides a push-type mature tree seed collection device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] When using the forest seed collecting device of this utility model, the collecting device is pushed to roll on the ground where seeds have fallen. When the collecting device comes into contact with the seeds, the seeds enter the gap between the two seed collecting rings. Under the action of gravity of the collecting device, the two seed collecting rings tilt, compressing the elastic pad. The seeds enter the cage formed by the seed collecting rings through the increased gap. Then, with the elastic action of the elastic pad, the seed collecting rings are reshaped, and the distance between the two seed collecting rings returns to its original state, preventing the seeds from falling out through the gap again. The seed collection work can be achieved by pushing the collecting device. The operation is simple and the seed collection efficiency is high.

[0014] Furthermore, for seeds of different sizes, elastic pads of different widths can be installed between adjacent seed collection rings to change the gap between the two collection rings under normal conditions. When the seeds being collected are large, the gap between the two collection rings can be increased to prevent small-volume debris from entering the cage during collection. For small-volume seeds, the gap between the two collection rings can be appropriately reduced to prevent large-volume debris from entering the cage through gaps during collection. This improves the applicability of the seed collection device and reduces the entry of impurities during collection. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the described embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0028] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 7:

[0029] This utility model proposes a push-type mature tree seed collection device, comprising: a collector support 1, a push handle 2 welded to the outside of the collector support 1, a central support 3 rotatably connected between two support rods of the collector support 1, a seed collection ring 4 movably connected to the central support 3, a ring body adjusting plate 402 fixedly connected inside the seed collection ring 4 via a ring body connecting rod 401, a ring body through hole 404 having a ring body through hole 404 movably fitted with the central support 3, an elastic gasket 5 provided between two adjacent seed collection rings 4, the elastic gasket 5 being fitted onto the central support 3, a side baffle 6, a baffle adjusting plate 601 fixedly connected to the center of the side baffle 6, and the baffle adjusting plate 601... A baffle hole 603 is provided in the center of the cage, and the baffle hole 603 is movably connected to the central support rod 3. An elastic gasket 5 is provided on the outer side of the side baffle 6. An end nut 8 is screwed to the outer end of the central support rod 3. A side baffle 6 is provided between the end nut 8 and the elastic gasket 5. Under normal conditions, the elastic gasket 5 is tightly clamped between the two adjacent seed collection rings 4. The elastic gasket 5 pushes and limits the ring body adjusting plate 402 to keep the adjacent seed collection rings 4 parallel. When subjected to external pressure, the elastic gasket 5 can be squeezed to deform it, adjust the inclination of the seed collection ring 4, and the seed collection ring 4 will be restored to its original shape through the elastic action of the elastic gasket 5, so that the seeds entering the cage cannot fall out.

[0030] In this embodiment, the two ends of the collector bracket 1 are rotatably connected to the docking end cylinder 101 via bearings. The docking end cylinder 101 is fitted with a fastening bolt 102. The two ends of the central support rod 3 are provided with internal threads 302, which are spirally connected to the fastening bolt 102. The central support rod 3 and the collector bracket 1 are fixed by the fastening bolt 102, and the central support rod 3 can be disassembled to facilitate the replacement of elastic gaskets 5 of different sizes.

[0031] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the end of the central support rod 3 is provided with an external thread 301. The external thread 301 is screwed to the end nut 8. The inner end of the end nut 8 is fixedly connected with a nut top cylinder 801. The inner end face of the nut top cylinder 801 is tightly fitted with the outer surface of the end washer 7. The end nut 8 limits the side baffle 6 to prevent the side baffle 6 from detaching from the central support rod 3.

[0032] In this embodiment, the seed collecting ring 4 is a stainless steel ring. The left and right surfaces of the ring body adjusting plate 402 are respectively provided with a ring body washer docking groove 403. The inner groove surface of the ring body washer docking groove 403 is in contact with the elastic gasket 5. The elastic gasket 5 is a ring-shaped gasket made of rubber. Under normal conditions, the angle between adjacent seed collecting rings 4 is limited by the elastic gasket 5 to keep the adjacent seed collecting rings 4 parallel. When subjected to external pressure, the elastic gasket 5 can be squeezed to deform it, adjust the inclination of the seed collecting ring 4, and the seed collecting ring 4 returns to its original angle through the elastic action of the elastic gasket 5.

[0033] In this embodiment, the side baffle 6 is a circular plate, and a baffle washer docking groove 602 is provided on each of the two sides of the baffle self-aligning plate 601. The baffle washer docking groove 602 fits with the elastic gasket 5. The side baffles 6 on both sides limit the seed collection ring 4 in the middle and seal the two ends of the cage structure formed by the seed collection ring 4 to prevent the seeds in the cage from falling out.

[0034] In Example 2, based on Example 1, the elastic pad 5 is provided with a pad opening 501. The pad opening 501 allows the elastic pad 5 to be disassembled from the central support rod 3 more quickly, thereby improving the adjustment efficiency of the collecting device.

[0035] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, the push handle 2 pushes the collecting device to move on the ground where seeds have fallen, causing the cylindrical cage composed of seed collecting rings 4 to roll on the ground. When the cage comes into contact with the seeds, the seeds enter the gap between the two seed collecting rings 4. Under the action of gravity of the collecting device, the two seed collecting rings 4 tilt, compressing the elastic pad 5. The seeds enter the cage composed of seed collecting rings 4 through the increased gap. Then, as the elastic pad 5 acts elastically, the seed collecting rings 4 reshape, restoring the distance between the two seed collecting rings 4 to its original state, preventing the seeds from passing through the gap again. The seeds fall and overflow, enabling quick collection. When the collected seeds are large, the gap between the two seed collection rings 4 can be increased by replacing the large-sized elastic pad 5, preventing small-volume debris from entering the cage during collection. For small-volume seeds, the gap between the two seed collection rings 4 can be appropriately reduced by replacing the small-sized elastic pad 5, preventing large-volume debris from entering the cage through the gap during collection. This improves the applicability of the seed collection device and reduces the entry of impurities during collection. After collection, the seed collection ring 4 can be manually rotated to allow the seeds to fall through the increased gap for collection.
