Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fruit picking technology, specifically relating to a portable fruit picker. Background Technology

[0002] Fruit harvesting is the agricultural production process of picking fruits that have reached a suitable level of maturity. Its core lies in selecting the harvest maturity according to the intended use: harvest maturity (suitable for processing or post-ripening for fresh consumption), edible maturity (suitable for fresh consumption), or physiological maturity (for seed collection). Maturity is often determined by comprehensively considering indicators such as peel color, sugar-acid ratio, starch content, and seed coat color. Some varieties can be harvested in stages to extend the supply period.

[0003] Traditional fruit picking relies on manual climbing or simple tools, which has problems such as low efficiency, poor safety, and difficulty in reaching fruits at heights. Most existing pickers use fixed-length poles that cannot be flexibly adjusted in height, and the cutting and collecting functions are separated, making operation cumbersome. Although some electric pickers have cutting functions, they lack an integrated collecting system, making the fruits prone to falling and being damaged. Utility Model Content
