[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a portable kelp harvesting device, which includes: a support block 1, a handle 2 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support block 1, a rope clamping assembly 3 provided on the lower surface of the support block 1, and a telescopic harvesting knife 4 provided on the rope clamping assembly 3.

[0027] In the portable kelp harvesting device of this utility model, the support block 1 is used to support the handle 2 and the rope clamping assembly 3, thus forming the whole device. The handle 2 is for the operator to hold the device, the rope clamping assembly 3 is used to fix the position of the device, and the telescopic harvesting blade 4 is used to extend to harvest kelp and retract for easy carrying and storage.

[0028] The rope clamping assembly 3 includes a first movable block 34 and a second movable block 311. A first fixed block 33 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of one end of the support block 1. A first threaded hole 36 is formed on the side wall of the first fixed block 33. A first sliding groove 31 is formed on the lower surface of one end of the support block 1. A first slider 39 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the first movable block 34. A first through groove is formed on the outer wall of the first slider 39. A first threaded rod 37 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the first through groove. A first knob 38 is fixedly installed on one end of the first threaded rod 37. The first slider 39 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the first sliding groove 31. A first screw 38 is fixedly installed on the outer walls of the first fixed block 33 and the first movable block 34. A second fixing block 310 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the other end of the clamping plate 35 and the support block 1. A second threaded hole 313 is opened on the side wall of the second fixing block 310. A second slider 316 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the second moving block 311. A second through groove is opened on the outer wall of the second moving block 311. A second threaded rod 314 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the second through groove. A second knob 315 is fixedly installed on one end of the second threaded rod 314. A second sliding groove 32 is opened on the lower surface of the other end of the support block 1. The second slider 316 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the second sliding groove 32. A second clamping plate 312 is fixedly installed on the outer walls of the second fixing block 310 and the second moving block 311.

[0029] In the portable kelp harvesting device of this utility model, the rope clamping assembly 3 is not used to clamp the rope, but is designed to be sleeved on the outside of the rope. The device is based on a dual-unit clamping mechanism, with a first sleeve unit and a second sleeve unit constructed at both ends of the support block 1, forming the core structure of the device's clamping mechanism. The first sleeve unit consists of a first moving block 34 and a first fixed block 33, while the second sleeve unit includes a second moving block 311 and a second fixed block 310. The two units form a hollow channel through a clamping plate, allowing them to slide on the rope. In the first sleeve unit, a first sliding groove 31 on the lower surface of one end of the support block 1 forms a sliding pair with a first slider 39 on the first moving block 34, allowing the first moving block 34 to translate along the sliding groove direction. The first threaded hole 36 on the side wall of the fixed block 33 engages with the first threaded rod 37 that passes through the first slider 39. Therefore, when the first knob 38 is rotated, the rotation of the first threaded rod 37 is converted into linear motion, which pushes the first moving block 34 to slide in the groove, thereby adjusting the distance between the first fixed block 33 and the first moving block 34, so that the first clamping plate 35 provided on the first fixed block 33 and the first moving block 34 can be merged. The second sleeve unit is symmetrical in structure with the first unit and works on the same principle. It supports the second groove 32, the second slider 316, the second threaded rod 314, and the second knob 315 at the other end of the support block 1. The position of the second moving block 311 can be adjusted by the same operation to change the channel size of the second sleeve unit.

[0030] The telescopic harvester 4 includes a ring blade 41. An mounting block 48 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the ring blade 41. A spring groove is provided at one end of the mounting block 48. A spring rod 411 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the spring groove. A connecting plate 410 is fixedly installed at the other end of the spring rod 411. The connecting plate 410 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the spring groove. An integrated plate 47 is fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting plate 410. A pull rod 46 is fixedly installed on one side of the integrated plate 47. A pin 49 is fixedly installed on the other side of the integrated plate 47. A blade groove 42 is provided on the outer wall of the first clamping plate 35. The ring blade 41 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the blade groove 42. A stroke groove 43, a first pin hole 44, and a second pin hole 45 are provided on the side wall of the first clamping plate 35. The mounting block 48 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the stroke groove 43.

[0031] In the portable kelp harvesting device described in this utility model, the ring blade 41 is a key cutting component in the operation process of the telescopic harvesting blade 4. It can slide along the blade groove 42 to achieve telescopic movement. The travel groove 43 provides a movement trajectory for components such as the pin. The first pin hole 44 and the second pin hole 45 serve as positioning structures. When operating, the pull rod 46 is pulled first. The pull rod 46 drives the integrated plate 47 to move. The integrated plate 47 simultaneously removes the pin 49 from the second pin hole 45. At the same time, the integrated plate 47 uses the connecting plate 4 as a means to... 10. Pull the spring rod 411 to put it in a stretched state, then push the pull rod 46. Through the integrated plate 47 and the spring rod 411, the mounting block 48 moves in the inner wall of the stroke groove 43. The mounting block 48 simultaneously drives the ring cutter 41 to move out of the cutter groove 42. At this time, the pin 49 is inserted into the first pin hole 44 to complete the extension and locking. After that, the operator can use the handle 2 to push the equipment to slide on the rope. During the sliding process, the cutting edge of the ring cutter 41 is used to cut the kelp root to achieve the harvesting operation.

[0032] Working principle: The clamping plates on the harvesting equipment are initially in an extended state. First, the middle area of ​​the clamping plate is placed on the rope using handle 2. The first moving block 34 is pushed, aligning one end of the first threaded rod 37 with the first threaded hole 36. Then, the first knob 38 is rotated, causing the first threaded rod 37 to rotate and connect with the first threaded hole 36, allowing the first threaded rod 37 to enter the first threaded hole 36. This causes the first fixing block 33 and the first clamping plate 35 on the first moving block 34 to move closer together, clamping the rope. Next, the second moving block 311 is pushed, aligning the second threaded hole 313 on the second fixing block 310 with the second threaded rod 314. The second knob 315 is rotated, causing the second threaded rod 314 to rotate and enter the second threaded hole 313, thus moving the second fixing block 310 and the first clamping plate 35 on the first moving block 34 closer together, clamping the rope. The second clamping plates 312 on the two moving blocks 311 merge to clamp the rope a second time. After the harvesting equipment completes the clamping of the rope, there is a gap between the first clamping plate 35, the second clamping plate 312 and the surface of the rope that is not completely in contact. When the pull rod 46 is pulled, the pull rod 46 drives the integrated plate 47 to move. The integrated plate 47 simultaneously drives the pin 49 to be removed from the second pin hole 45. At the same time, the integrated plate 47 also stretches the spring rod 411 through the connecting plate 410 to make it stretch. Then push the pull rod 46, and the integrated plate 47 and the spring rod 411 drive the mounting block 48 to move in the inner wall of the stroke groove 43. The mounting block 48 simultaneously drives the ring cutter 41 to move out of the cutter groove 42. The pin 49 is inserted into the first pin hole 44. After the preparation is completed, the equipment can be pushed on the rope by the handle 2. During the sliding process, the root of the kelp can be cut.

[0033] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
