[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a citrus picking device, including a base 1, a push handle 6 fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1, a support column 5 fixedly installed on the top surface of the base 1, a clamping plate 4 movably arranged on the top of the support column 5, a cutting blade 3 fixedly connected to the inner side of the clamping plate 4, a sorting component 2 fixedly arranged at the bottom of the cutting blade 3, and a positioning component 7 installed at the bottom of the base 1.

[0024] The sorting component 2 includes a collection component 28, which is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the base 1. A fruit conveying tube 23 is installed on the top of the collection component 28. A fruit collecting hopper 21 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the fruit conveying tube 23. A first inclined plate 22 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the fruit collecting hopper 21. A second inclined plate 24 is mounted on the bottom of the first inclined plate 22. A guide plate 25 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the second inclined plate 24. A first outlet 26 is opened on one side of the guide plate 25. A second outlet 27 is opened at the bottom of the first outlet 26.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, when using the sorting component 2, when the citrus is picked, it will reach the surface of the first inclined plate 22 from the fruit collecting hopper 21. The first inclined plate 22 guides the citrus to avoid it falling directly and being damaged. Then, it passes through the second inclined plate 24 and the guide plate 25. At this time, the citrus reaches the side of the first outlet 26. If the size of the citrus is small, it can enter the collection component 28 through the first outlet 26. If the size of the citrus is large, it continues to move downward and finally enters the collection component 28 through the second outlet 27, thereby completing the sorting of the citrus.

[0026] Specifically, an installation block is fixed to the outside of the fruit conveying tube 23, and an installation bolt is installed inside the installation block.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation of the component is facilitated by the mounting blocks and mounting bolts, and the maintenance work efficiency is improved.

[0028] Specifically, a transparent window is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the fruit conveying tube 23, and a sponge buffer block is provided on the surface of the first inclined plate 22.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the transparent window allows staff to view the inside of the fruit conveying tube 23 in a timely manner and clear any blockages in the citrus. The sponge buffer block can cushion and protect the falling citrus, preventing it from being damaged by gravity.

[0030] Specifically, the collection component 28 includes a collection box 281, which is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the base 1. The top of the collection box 281 has an installation groove 286. A carrier box 282 is pulled inside the collection box 281. A side plate 285 is provided on the outer surface of the carrier box 282. A rotating shaft 283 is installed on the side surface of the carrier box 282 near the side plate 285. A limit plate 284 is provided at the outer end of the rotating shaft 283.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper and lower sets of carrier boxes 282 are used to carry and collect citrus fruits of different sizes. When the carrier box 282 is full, it can be pulled out through the side plate 285 to transfer the citrus fruits inside. At the same time, the limiting plate 284 can be rotated through the rotating shaft 283, so that the limiting plate 284 can release the limiting plate 285. At this time, the side plate 285 can be removed, which facilitates the collection and packing of citrus fruits and enhances practicality.

[0032] Specifically, grooves are provided on both sides of the carrier box 282, and fixing hooks are provided inside the grooves. Positioning grooves are provided on both sides of the mounting groove 286.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to put citrus fruits into bags, both ends of the bags can be hung on fixed hooks to secure the bags, making the collection and packing of citrus fruits more convenient and enhancing their practicality.

[0034] In this embodiment, when using the sorting component 2, as the citrus fruits are picked, they move from the receiving hopper 21 to the surface of the first inclined plate 22. The first inclined plate 22 guides the citrus fruits, preventing them from falling directly and being damaged. Then, passing through the second inclined plate 24 and the guide plate 25, the citrus fruits reach the first outlet 26. If the citrus fruits are small, they can enter the collecting component 28 through the first outlet 26. If the citrus fruits are large, they continue to move downwards and finally enter the collecting component 28 through the second outlet 27, thus completing the sorting of the citrus fruits. The mounting blocks and bolts facilitate the installation of this component. The transparent window allows workers to easily check the condition inside the fruit conveying tube 23, improving maintenance efficiency. The system unclogs citrus stalks, and the sponge buffer blocks cushion and protect fallen citrus fruits from damage due to gravity. Two sets of carrying boxes 282 collect citrus fruits of different sizes. When a carrying box 282 is full, it can be pulled out via a side plate 285 to transfer the citrus fruits. Simultaneously, a rotating shaft 283 drives a limiting plate 284 to rotate, releasing it from its restriction on the side plate 285. This allows the side plate 285 to be removed for easier collection of citrus fruits, enhancing practicality. When citrus fruits need to be placed in bags, both ends of the bag can be hung on fixed hooks to secure it, making collection of citrus fruits even more convenient and enhancing practicality.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that, specifically, the positioning component 7 includes a side groove 72, which is opened on the bottom side of the base 1. A movable plate 71 is movably arranged inside the side groove 72. Positioning rods 75 are arranged on both sides of the movable plate 71. Springs 76 are sleeved on the surface of the positioning rods 75. A connecting rod 73 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 71. A positioning plate 74 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 73. A connecting plate 77 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the movable plate 71.

[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, when the equipment needs to be positioned, the operator steps on the pedal, which drives the connecting plate 77 and the movable plate 71 to move downward. At this time, the movable plate 71 slides downward on the surface of the positioning rod 75, and the spring 76 is compressed. The movable plate 71 and the connecting rod 73 push the positioning plate 74 to contact the ground, thereby increasing the friction between the equipment and the ground, preventing the equipment from shifting position during use, and improving stability.

[0038] Specifically, a positioning pin is fixed to the bottom surface of the positioning plate 74, and a pedal is fixed to the outer end of the connecting plate 77.

[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, the friction between the positioning plate 74 and the ground can be increased by inserting the positioning pin into the ground. The pedal makes it easier for workers to use the component, making the positioning function of the device more convenient to use.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the equipment needs to be positioned, the operator steps on the pedal, which causes the connecting plate 77 and the movable plate 71 to move downwards. At this time, the movable plate 71 slides downwards on the surface of the positioning rod 75, and the spring 76 contracts under force. The movable plate 71 and the connecting rod 73 push the positioning plate 74 to contact the ground, thereby increasing the friction between the equipment and the ground, preventing the equipment from shifting position during use, and improving stability. The positioning pin inserted into the ground further increases the friction between the positioning plate 74 and the ground. The pedal makes it easier for the operator to use this component, making the positioning function of the equipment more convenient.

[0041] The structure and working principle of the cutting blade 3 and clamping plate 4 in this utility model have been disclosed in a citrus harvesting device disclosed in Chinese patent application number 202120072938.X.

[0042] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When using the sorting component 2, when citrus fruits are picked, they will reach the surface of the first inclined plate 22 from the fruit collecting hopper 21. The first inclined plate 22 guides the citrus fruits, preventing them from falling directly and causing damage. Subsequently, they pass through the second inclined plate 24 and the guide plate 25, at which point the citrus fruits reach the first outlet 26. If the size of the citrus fruits is small, they can enter the collection component 28 through the first outlet 26. If the size of the citrus fruits is large, they continue to move downwards and finally enter the collection component 28 through the second outlet 27, thus completing the sorting of the citrus fruits. The mounting blocks and mounting bolts facilitate the installation of this component. The transparent window allows staff to promptly inspect the inside of the fruit conveying pipe 23, improving maintenance efficiency. In case of blockage, the citrus fruits are promptly cleared. The sponge buffer blocks can cushion and protect the fallen citrus fruits, preventing them from being damaged by gravity. The upper and lower sets of carrying boxes 282 collect citrus fruits of different sizes. When the carrying box 282 is full, it can be pulled out through the side plate 285 to transfer the citrus fruits inside. At the same time, the pivot 283 can drive the limiting plate 284 to rotate, so that the limiting plate 284 can release the limiting plate 285. At this time, the side plate 285 can be removed for easy collection of citrus fruits, which enhances practicality. When it is necessary to put the citrus fruits into bags, the two ends of the bags can be hung on the fixed hooks to fix the bags, making the collection of citrus fruits more convenient and enhancing practicality.

[0043] When positioning the equipment is required, the operator steps on the pedal, which causes the connecting plate 77 and the movable plate 71 to move downwards. At this time, the movable plate 71 slides downwards on the surface of the positioning rod 75, and the spring 76 contracts under force. Through the movable plate 71 and the connecting rod 73, the positioning plate 74 is pushed to contact the ground, thereby increasing the friction between the equipment and the ground, preventing the equipment from shifting position during use, and improving stability. Inserting the positioning pin into the ground further increases the friction between the positioning plate 74 and the ground. The pedal makes it easier for the operator to use this component, making the positioning function of the equipment more convenient.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
