Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edible and medicinal fungi technology, and in particular to a portable edible and medicinal fungi harvesting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Edible and medicinal fungi refer to fungal biological resources with both edible and medicinal value, widely used in food, medicine, health products, and other fields. Due to their rich content of protein, polysaccharides, amino acids, and various bioactive components, they have received significant attention in the health industry in recent years. Harvesting edible and medicinal fungi is a crucial step in their transition from natural growth or artificial cultivation to processing and distribution, directly affecting the product's integrity, quality, and subsequent market value. Especially in large-scale cultivation and wild collection, harvesting operations are not only labor-intensive but also demand high precision and efficiency.

[0003] Portable edible and medicinal mushroom harvesting machines, as core equipment in this process, occupy an important position in the agricultural and wild resource harvesting industry. Their structural design and functional implementation have a decisive impact on harvesting efficiency, product integrity, and ease of operation. Especially in the core process of harvesting close to the root of the mushroom for non-destructive purposes, existing harvesting equipment has gradually revealed a series of obvious limitations and technical problems in dealing with different terrain environments, differences in mushroom morphology, and portability. For example, utility model patent CN211532149U discloses an edible mushroom harvesting device, including a chassis, an outer cylinder at the upper end of the chassis, a drive mechanism inside the chassis for driving the rotation of the outer cylinder, at least four inner cylinders fixed inside the outer cylinder, inner cylinder covers connected to the sides of the inner cylinders via rotating components, and harvesting blades inside the inner cylinders. The device rotates the outer cylinder by starting a motor, which causes multiple inner cylinders to sequentially complete the process of inserting, picking, and removing wood segments. At the same time, the inclined picking blades cut close to the roots of edible fungi to achieve efficient picking. The picked edible fungi are collected into the outer cylinder through the gaps between the side panels, and then removed all at once after a certain amount has accumulated.

[0004] While the device has achieved some success in improving the automation level of harvesting and reducing the intensity of manual labor, it still has many shortcomings in practical application. Specifically, the existing edible and medicinal fungus harvesting machines have a relatively bulky overall structure, making them inconvenient to carry in complex terrain or frequently moving work scenarios, which seriously affects the overall efficiency of harvesting operations. In addition, traditional harvesting equipment lacks a flexible adjustment mechanism to adapt to different types of edible and medicinal fungi, making it difficult to meet diverse harvesting needs and further limiting the applicability and practicality of the equipment. Therefore, in order to address the many shortcomings of the existing technology, there is an urgent need to provide an innovative portable edible and medicinal fungus harvesting machine.

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 .

[0023] A portable edible and medicinal fungus harvesting machine includes a housing 1, an inner frame 16 elastically connected to the inner side of the housing 1, and shoulder straps 12 fixedly connected to both sides of the housing 1.

[0024] A fan 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1, and a bearing sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to both sides of the housing 1. A connecting pipe 9 is embedded in the inner side of each of the two bearing sleeves 8. A suction cup 10 is connected to one end of each of the two connecting pipes 9, and a flexible hose 14 is connected to one end of each of the two connecting pipes 9. One end of each flexible hose 14 is connected to the inlet of the fan 13. Feeding frames 6 are provided on both sides of the housing 1, and one end of each feeding frame 6 is connected to the upper side of the housing 1. The bottom of the inner frame 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner side of the housing 1 through several dampers 18.

[0025] In actual use, the operator first carries the entire device on their back using the shoulder straps 12 fixed to both sides of the housing 1, enabling convenient transport in complex terrain environments. Then, the operator holds the two connecting tubes 9 embedded in the carrying sleeve 8 with both hands and starts the fan 13. Once running, the fan 13 connects to the connecting tubes 9 via the hose 14, creating a negative pressure system. This causes the suction cup 10 connected to one end of the connecting tube 9 to generate suction force, allowing for precise adsorption of the target edible and medicinal fungi. Because the suction cup 10 can adhere closely to the root of the fungus for non-destructive adsorption, it effectively avoids the breakage or damage to the fungus that occurs during traditional manual harvesting. After adsorption is complete, the operator brings the suction cup 10 close to the inlet of the feeding frame 6, allowing the adsorbed fungi to enter the feeding frame 6 through the connecting tubes 9 and finally fall into the inner frame 16 inside the housing 1 for centralized storage. The inner frame 16 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 1 via an elastic structure, and its bottom is fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the housing 1 via multiple dampers 18. These dampers provide cushioning and shock absorption during equipment movement or transportation, effectively reducing fungal damage caused by vibration and thus improving the integrity and quality of the collected products. Simultaneously, the device adopts a modular and lightweight design, combined with the wearing method of the carrying strap 12, greatly enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment in complex terrain environments such as mountains and hills, facilitating efficient collection in scenarios requiring frequent mobile operations.

[0026] Furthermore, sliders 3 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner frame 16, and both sliders 3 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1 through sliding grooves 4. When the harvester vibrates during field movement or operation, the inner frame 16 can slide up and down along the sliding grooves 4, thereby achieving guidance and limiting functions and preventing it from deviating or jamming. This structure effectively improves the stability and sliding accuracy of the inner frame 16 during operation, achieving the effect of enhancing guidance and structural reliability.

[0027] Furthermore, folding straps 5 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of both sliders 3, and one side of each of the four folding straps 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the two slide grooves 4. During the up-and-down movement of the inner frame 16, the folding straps 5 expand or contract synchronously with the sliders 3, forming a dynamic sealing structure to prevent external dust and impurities from entering the interior of the housing 1, while also providing a certain degree of cushioning. This structure significantly improves the cleanliness of the internal environment of the equipment and the durability of the sliding structure, achieving the effects of enhanced protection and extended service life.

[0028] Furthermore, each of the two feeding frames 6 has a connecting pipe 7 on one side, and one end of each connecting pipe 7 is connected to the side wall of the box 1. The outlets of both connecting pipes 7 are located at the top of the inner frame 16. A handle 11 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two connecting pipes 9. Edible and medicinal fungi adsorbed by the suction cup 10 are transported to the connecting pipe 7 via the connecting pipe 9 and can fall smoothly into the inner frame 16 from the top area, avoiding damage to the fungi due to direct impact. The operator can more flexibly control the position of the suction cup 10 by holding the handle 11, improving ease of operation and harvesting accuracy, thereby optimizing the material conveying path and enhancing operational flexibility.

[0029] Furthermore, several soft pads 15 are fixedly connected to one side of the housing 1, and a door 2 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the housing 1 via a hinge. The soft pads 15 are used to relieve pressure on the operator's back from the shoulder strap 12, improving wearing comfort; the door 2 facilitates opening the housing 1 to inspect, replace, or remove the internal components, improving maintenance convenience. This structural design balances ergonomics and practicality, thereby improving wearing comfort and equipment maintainability.

[0030] Furthermore, compression springs 17 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner frame 16, and the bottom ends of all compression springs 17 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the housing 1. When the equipment is subjected to external impact or severe vibration, the compression springs 17 absorb energy through compression, further enhancing the buffering capacity of the inner frame 16, reducing mechanical damage to the collected items during transportation, thereby improving product integrity and protection performance.

[0031] In summary:

[0032] In the complete technical solution of the portable edible and medicinal fungus harvesting machine, the entire equipment is based on a housing 1, with shoulder straps 12 fixedly connected to both sides, allowing operators to carry the device on their backs for convenient portability and flexible movement in complex outdoor terrain. A fan 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1 to generate negative pressure suction. Its two sides are connected to two connecting pipes 9 embedded in a support sleeve 8 via flexible hoses 14. One end of each connecting pipe 9 has a suction cup 10 for adsorbing the target edible and medicinal fungi. During operation, after starting the fan 13, the system creates a negative pressure adsorption effect, allowing the suction cup 10 to adhere closely to the fungal roots for non-destructive adsorption, effectively avoiding the breakage or damage to the fungi caused by traditional manual harvesting. After adsorption, the operator places the suction cup 10 near the inlet of the feeding frame 6, allowing the adsorbed fungi to enter the feeding frame 6 via the connecting pipes 9 and finally fall into the inner frame 16 inside the housing 1 for centralized storage. The inner frame 16 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 1 via an elastic structure. Its bottom is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the housing 1 via several dampers 18, providing cushioning and shock absorption during transportation or movement, reducing fungal damage caused by vibration, and thus improving the integrity and quality of the collected products. To further enhance the stability of the inner frame 16 during movement, sliders 3 are fixedly connected to both sides and slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1 via grooves 4. This allows the inner frame 16 to maintain stable up-and-down sliding even under vibration, preventing deviation or jamming, thereby improving guiding accuracy and structural reliability. Simultaneously, folding straps 5 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the two sliders 3. One side of each of the four folding straps 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the two grooves 4. When the inner frame 16 moves up and down, the folding straps 5 unfold or retract accordingly, forming a dynamic sealing structure to prevent external dust and impurities from entering the housing 1, providing excellent protection and cushioning, and significantly improving the cleanliness and service life of the equipment. In addition, a connecting pipe 7 is connected to one side of each of the two feeding frames 6, with one end connected to the side wall of the box 1 and the outlet located at the top area of ​​the inner frame 16. This ensures that the fungi sucked in by the suction cup 10 can fall smoothly into the top of the inner frame 16 through the connecting pipe 9 and the connecting pipe 7, avoiding direct impact that could damage the fungi. At the same time, a handle 11 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two connecting pipes 9, making it easy for the operator to hold and flexibly adjust the position of the suction cup 10, improving the accuracy of operation and the efficiency of harvesting, thereby optimizing the material conveying path and enhancing operational flexibility. In terms of ergonomic design, several soft pads 15 are fixedly connected to one side of the box 1 to relieve the pressure of the back strap 12 on the operator's back and improve wearing comfort. A door 2 is hinged to the outside of the box 1, making it easy to open the box 1 to inspect, replace or remove the internal components, further improving maintenance convenience and practicality.A compression spring 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner frame 16. The bottom of all compression springs 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner side of the box 1. When the equipment is subjected to severe vibration or external impact, the compression spring 17 absorbs energy through compression, further enhancing the buffering capacity of the inner frame 16, effectively reducing mechanical damage to the collected items during transportation, thereby significantly improving the product integrity rate and protection performance. The integrated structure, consisting of housing 1, shoulder strap 12, fan 13, suction cup 10, connecting pipe 9, hose 14, feeding frame 6, inner frame 16, and damper 18, enables efficient and non-destructive harvesting and centralized collection of edible and medicinal fungi, greatly improving harvesting efficiency and product integrity. The cooperation of slider 3, slide 4, and folding belt 5 enhances the guiding stability and sealing protection of inner frame 16. The design of connecting pipe 7 and handle 11 optimizes the material conveying path and improves operational flexibility. The soft pad 15 and door 2 enhance the human-machine interaction experience and ease of maintenance. The compression spring 17 further strengthens the buffer protection function of inner frame 16.

[0033] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
