[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Please refer to the following: Figures 1-4 ,in, Figure 1 A rear view schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the honeysuckle planting and harvesting auxiliary device provided by this utility model; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the main structure of this utility model; Figure 3 for Figure 2 An enlarged structural diagram of part A shown in the figure; Figure 4 This is a top sectional view of the cylindrical body of this utility model.

[0024] The honeysuckle harvesting auxiliary device includes: a storage box 1 for storing honeysuckle; a connecting cylinder 2 installed on the top of the storage box 1; a suction tube 3 fixed to the connecting cylinder 2 for sucking up honeysuckle, the suction tube 3 having a collection cylinder 5; an air pump 4 fixed to the top of the storage box 1, the air inlet of the air pump 4 being connected to the connecting cylinder 2, the air inlet of the air pump 4 having an isolation net for isolating the honeysuckle; and a restraint strap 6 installed on the collection cylinder 5 and which can be worn on the worker's wrist to stabilize the collection cylinder 5, the restraint strap 6 having Velcro fasteners 7 and Velcro fasteners 8 on both sides respectively. The device is designed by connecting the suction tube 3 and the air pump 4 (using a VRD-4 / 8 / 16 / 24 / 30 dual-stage rotary vane vacuum pump as an example). For example, by combining the connecting tube 2 and the storage box 1, the honeysuckle is automatically collected using the principle of negative pressure adsorption. This solves the problems of hand fatigue and low efficiency caused by repeated manual placement. By setting an isolation net at the air inlet of the air pump 4, the honeysuckle is prevented from entering the air pump 4 and causing damage to the equipment. By installing a restraint strap 6 with Velcro 7 and a female adhesive on the collection tube 5, the worker can securely put the collection tube 5 on their wrist, reducing the range of hand movement during the picking process, which reduces labor intensity. At the same time, by shortening the operating distance of the suction tube 3, the honeysuckle is directly absorbed into the storage box 1 after being picked. This maintains the selectivity of manual picking and eliminates the need for repeated manual hand retraction and storage of honeysuckle, effectively increasing the collection efficiency.

[0025] The storage box 1 has an opening on one side for providing a material retrieval channel. A baffle 10 for closing the opening is hinged to the storage box 1 via a hinge 9. A sealing ring for preventing air leakage is installed on the side of the baffle 10 near the storage box 1. By setting an opening on one side of the storage box 1, it is possible to facilitate quick material retrieval by the staff, avoiding the problem of difficulty in material retrieval or the need to tilt the whole box due to the box being closed. The hinge 9 connects the baffle 10, which can flexibly open and close the opening, effectively protecting the honeysuckle in the box from external contamination when not retrieving material. At the same time, it prevents the air pump 4 from losing suction force due to air leakage from the opening when it is working. By installing a sealing ring on the inside of the baffle 10, the baffle 10 can fit tightly with the opening of the storage box 1 when closed, further enhancing the airtightness of the box and ensuring that the air pump 4 continuously and stably generates negative pressure, thereby improving the collection efficiency.

[0026] An extension plate 13 is installed on the baffle 10, and a retaining ring 12 is slidably installed on the storage box 1. The retaining ring 12 can be sleeved on the extension plate 13 to stabilize the baffle 10. The retaining ring 12 is provided with a limiting mechanism for stabilizing the retaining ring 12. By setting the extension plate 13 on the baffle 10 and cooperating with the retaining ring 12 slidably installed on the storage box 1, the effect of double fixing of the baffle 10 is achieved. When the baffle 10 is closed, the retaining ring 12 is slidably sleeved on the extension plate 13, which can effectively prevent the baffle 10 from being accidentally opened due to vibration or accidental contact, and avoid the honeysuckle in the storage box 1 from spilling or external impurities from entering. By adding a limiting mechanism to the retaining ring 12, the retaining ring 12 can be stably locked after sliding to the target position, preventing it from shifting when the device moves or the air pump 4 is working, and further enhancing the sealing stability of the baffle 10.

[0027] The limiting mechanism includes a cylinder 14 fixed to the retaining ring 12, a spring 15 fixed inside the cylinder 14, and a retaining block 16 mounted on the spring 15. The extension plate 13 is provided with a slot for accommodating the retaining block 16. By setting the limiting mechanism to cooperate with the slot on the extension plate 13, the retaining ring 12 achieves the effect of limiting the baffle 10. When the retaining ring 12 slides to the designated position of the extension plate 13, the spring 15 pushes the retaining block 16 to embed into the slot, forming a mechanical locking structure, which effectively prevents the retaining ring 12 from loosening or falling off, thereby ensuring that the baffle 10 maintains a stable closed state for a long time. Through the elastic automatic compensation function of the spring 15, the retaining block 16 can adapt to slots of different sizes, improving the compatibility of the device.

[0028] The storage box 1 is provided with a sliding groove 19, in which a slider connected to the retaining ring 12 is slidably installed. The sliding groove 19, in conjunction with the slider, is used to limit the movement path of the retaining ring 12. The baffle 10 is provided with an observation window 11 for displaying the status of the honeysuckle. By setting the sliding groove 19 and the slider to cooperate, the movement path of the retaining ring 12 is limited, avoiding the problem of snap failure caused by positioning deviation of traditional buckles. At the same time, the sliding friction between the slider and the sliding groove 19 is small, ensuring that the retaining ring 12 operates smoothly and effortlessly. By adding an observation window 11 to the baffle 10, the staff can intuitively view the storage quantity and status of the honeysuckle in the storage box 1 without frequently opening the baffle 10, which reduces the risk of wear on the sealing ring and optimizes the harvesting rhythm through real-time monitoring.

[0029] The storage box 1 is provided with a shoulder strap 21 on the side away from the baffle 10. The storage box 1 is provided with an elastic pad 20 that can contact the back of the staff. The elastic pad 20 is provided with ventilation holes. By providing a shoulder strap 21 on the side of the storage box 1 away from the baffle 10, it is possible to facilitate the staff to carry the picking device, freeing their hands to focus on operating the straw 3 for picking, which significantly improves the flexibility of operation. By adding an elastic pad 20 to the contact surface between the storage box 1 and the back, it plays a role in cushioning and shock absorption, effectively dispersing the pressure of the device weight on the shoulders and back. Combined with the ventilation hole design on the elastic pad 20, air can circulate, avoiding the problem of stuffiness and sweat accumulation caused by carrying for a long time, and improving wearing comfort.

[0030] A guide rod 17 is installed on the locking block 16, which movably passes through the spring 15 and extends to the outside of the cylinder 14. The guide rod 17 is used to limit the extension and retraction path of the spring 15. A pinch piece 18 is installed on the guide rod 17 to provide an operating grip point. By setting the guide rod 17 on the locking block 16, which movably passes through the spring 15 and extends to the outside of the cylinder 14, the extension and retraction path of the spring 15 is limited, effectively preventing the spring 15 from bending and shifting when compressed or reset, and avoiding the problem of the locking block 16 getting stuck due to the deformation of the spring 15. This ensures the long-term stable operation of the limiting mechanism. By adding a pinch piece 18 to the outer end of the guide rod 17, a clear operating grip point is provided for the operator, so that when unlocking the locking ring 12, only one hand needs to pinch the pinch piece 18 to simultaneously compress the spring 15 and pull away the locking block 16. This simplifies the steps of traditional buckles that require two-handed operation. The protruding design of the pinch piece 18 also reduces the risk of accidental contact and improves operational safety.

[0031] It is worth noting that the circuits, electronic components, and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.

[0032] The working principle of the honeysuckle planting and harvesting auxiliary device provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0033] This solution also includes a controller, which is installed on the equipment. During use, each electrical device can be started and operated separately through the controller. The power connection method of each electrical device is a mature existing technology and is well known to those in the field, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0034] In use, the staff carries the storage box 1 on their back using the shoulder strap 21, with the elastic pad 20 fitting snugly against the back. The ventilation holes promote air circulation, disperse pressure, and reduce stuffiness. The collection tube 5 is then secured to the wrist using the restraint strap 6, and the tightness is adjusted using the Velcro tabs 7 and 8 to ensure the collection tube 5 is stable and easy to operate. The air pump 4 is activated via the controller, and the air pump 4 creates a negative pressure environment with the storage box 1 through the connecting tube 2. The staff manually collects honeysuckle and places it directly into the collection tube 5. The negative pressure suction draws the honeysuckle from the collection tube 5 into the storage box 1. When it is necessary to retrieve the honeysuckle, the staff unlocks the retaining ring 12 by pinching the tab 18, slides the retaining ring 12 to disengage it from the extension plate 13, and opens the baffle 10 to retrieve the honeysuckle through the opening.

[0035] Compared with related technologies, the honeysuckle harvesting auxiliary device provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0036] This utility model provides a harvesting auxiliary device for honeysuckle cultivation. By setting up a suction tube 3 and an air pump 4 to connect the cylinder 2 and the storage box 1, the device uses the principle of negative pressure adsorption to automatically collect honeysuckle, solving the problems of hand fatigue and low efficiency caused by repeated manual placement. It effectively increases the collection efficiency while maintaining the selectivity of manual harvesting. By setting an isolation net at the air inlet of the air pump 4, honeysuckle is prevented from entering the air pump 4 and causing equipment damage. By installing a restraint strap 6 with Velcro 7 and a female adhesive on the collection cylinder 5, the worker can securely put the collection cylinder 5 on their wrist, reducing the range of hand movement during harvesting, reducing labor intensity, shortening the operating distance of the suction tube 3, and allowing the honeysuckle to be directly absorbed into the storage box 1 after being harvested.
