Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flower picking technology, and more specifically, to a handheld flower picking device. Background Technology
[0002] Honeysuckle is widely used as a medicinal herb in medicines and beverages. Its high economic value has led more and more farmers to start planting it on a large scale. However, honeysuckle has a short flowering period, a concentrated flowering period, and the medicinal value is highest when the flower buds are not yet open, requiring a lot of manpower to harvest.
[0003] The main actions involved in manual harvesting include picking and collecting. First, the flowers are picked with fingers, and when a small handful of flowers is held in the hand, they are thrown into a collection bucket. Because the harvesters need to repeat the above collection action continuously, and due to the limitations of human hand structure, the number of flowers picked at one time is limited. When the flowers are relatively concentrated, it takes two or three pickings to pick them all, resulting in low efficiency of the entire harvesting process. Utility Model Content

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, a return spring 10 is sleeved on the hinge shaft 9. The two ends of the return spring 10 abut against the first swing arm 1 and the second swing arm 2, respectively. The return spring 10 is used to push the first swing arm 1 and the second swing arm 2 to separate to both sides. After one flower picking action is completed, the first swing arm 1 and the second swing arm 2 will automatically open under the action of the return spring 10.
[0043] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a fan 4 is provided at the top of the first swing arm 1 or the second swing arm 2 to blow air into the picking chamber and blow the flowers into the net bag 13. When the driving roller 6 and the driven roller 7 work together to send the picked honeysuckle into the picking chamber, the honeysuckle changes direction and falls into the net bag 13 under the action of the wind force of the fan 4.
[0044] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, a fan mounting surface is provided at the top of the first swing arm 1, and the fan 4 is fixedly installed at the fan mounting position 1d on the fan mounting surface. A fan protective net 5 is provided on the outside of the fan 4.
[0045] The drive motor 3 and fan 4 are powered by power supply 19, which is connected to the drive motor 3 and fan 4 respectively via lead wire 20. Power supply 19 is an external lead power supply and can be a low-voltage DC safety power supply, such as a 24V / 12V DC power supply, or a battery or power bank. Lead wire 20 is connected to power supply 19 via plug 21.
[0046] To facilitate gripping and applying force, a fixing collar 8 is provided on the side of both the first swing arm 1 and the second swing arm 2, or a fixing collar 8 is provided on the side of either the first swing arm 1 or the second swing arm 2, so that the device can be reliably fixed in the hand. For example, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the fixing collar 8 is disposed on the side of the first swing arm 1, and the collar mounting position 1e is as follows. Figure 5 As shown.
[0047] In a preferred embodiment, flower-shaped baffles are correspondingly provided at the edge positions of the first swing arm 1 inside the driving roller 6 and the second swing arm 2 inside the driven roller 7. For example... Figure 5 As shown, a flower-shaped baffle 1c is provided on the inner edge of the front end of the first swing arm 1, as... Figure 6 As shown, a second swing arm flower baffle 2b is provided on the inner edge of the front end of the second swing arm 2.
[0048] The flower baffle prevents flowers from getting tangled in the drive roller 6 and driven roller 7. The gap between the flower baffle and the drive roller 6 or driven roller 7 is set to be narrow at the front and wide at the back, so that if a flower gets tangled in, it can be easily removed from the other end.
[0049] A preferred embodiment includes an armband 17 for detachably securing to a human arm, the armband 17 being directly or indirectly connected to a mesh bag 13 via a mesh bag drawstring 14.
[0050] The armband 17 and the fixing loop 8 can be made of double-sided Velcro, with one side being a napped side and the other a hook side, the napped side being closer to the arm and fingers. Alternatively, the armband 17 and the fixing loop 8 can also be made of fabric with buttons.
[0051] The armband 17 is connected to the metal hook 16, and the net bag drawstring 14 is hung on the metal hook 16 of the armband 17. The armband 17 and the net bag fixing ring 18 together secure the net bag 13, preventing it from shaking excessively after collecting a certain amount of honeysuckle. Figure 7 As shown, the metal hook 16 preferably adopts an internal vortex structure. When hanging and taking off the rope, the rope is pulled from the outside of the vortex inward, which can realize hanging and taking off, and prevents it from falling off automatically during operation. Hanging and taking off the rope does not require any other extra steps and can be completed with one hand.
[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the mesh bag 13 has an open top and bottom. The top of the mesh bag 13 is connected to the mesh bag fixing ring 18. The bottom of the mesh bag 13 is the flower outlet, and one end of the mesh bag drawstring 14 is tied to tighten the flower outlet. Preferably, the mesh bag drawstring 14 is controlled by a spring buckle 15. The mesh bag drawstring 14 is inserted from the edge of the bottom opening, forms a circle, and then exits from the other end. Both ends of the mesh bag drawstring 14 pass through the spring buckle 15, so that the spring buckle 15 is fitted onto the mesh bag drawstring 14. When the spring pressing down on the spring buckle 15 pushes the spring buckle 15 towards the bottom opening, the bottom opening is held in place, preventing the flower from falling out. When it is necessary to move the flower, the spring pressing down on the spring buckle 15 pushes the spring buckle 15 away from the bottom opening, and then the bottom opening is opened by hand, allowing the flower to fall out easily. The two ends of the mesh bag drawstring 14 are tied together to form a circle, making it easy to fit the mesh bag drawstring 14 onto the metal hook.
[0053] Taking the right-handed version as an example, when working, hold the handheld flower picking device provided in this embodiment in your hand, place the four fingers (excluding the thumb) against the outer wall of the first swing arm 1, and insert several fingers into the fixing collar 8. Place the thumb against the outer wall of the second swing arm 2, tie the arm strap 17 below the upper arm near the elbow joint, hang the net bag pull rope 14 on the metal hook 16 of the arm strap 17, and turn on the power. The active roller 6 and fan 4 in the first clamping plate assembly will start to operate.
[0054] With the thumb not applying force, the first swing arm 1 and the second swing arm 2 are in an open position. The moving device allows the honeysuckle flowers to enter the open device, placing the flowers between the active roller 6 and the driven roller 7. Then, by applying force inward with the thumb, the first swing arm 1 and the second swing arm 2 are closed. The active roller 6 and the driven roller 7 clamp the honeysuckle, and while the arm is pulled back, the honeysuckle flowers can be plucked from the branches. Driven by the friction of the active roller 6, the driven roller 7 rotates, which can roll the honeysuckle into the harvesting chamber. Under the action of the fan 4, the honeysuckle passes through the net bag fixing ring 18 and enters the net bag 13, realizing the function of collecting honeysuckle.
[0055] After one harvest, the thumb and four fingers relax, and the first swing arm 1 and the second swing arm 2 open under the action of the return spring 10, preparing for the next harvest.
[0056] After the net bag 13 has collected a certain amount of honeysuckle, the net bag pull rope 14 can be removed from the arm strap 17, and the flower outlet at the bottom of the net bag can be opened to shake the honeysuckle inside the net bag into the collection container.
