Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of mulberry fruit harvesting devices, specifically a mulberry fruit harvesting device. Background Technology
[0002] Mulberry, scientifically known as *Morus alba*, is the mature aggregate fruit of plants in the genus *Morus* of the family Moraceae. Plants in the genus *Morus* are sun-loving trees that prefer warm and humid climates. They have well-developed root systems, strong wind resistance, and are tolerant of cold, drought, and poor soil, but not tolerant of waterlogging. They are best suited to grow in deep, moist, and fertile sandy loam soil.
[0003] When harvesting mulberries, a collection net is laid on the ground beforehand. Workers then shake the branches to cause the mulberries to fall onto the net for storage. After collection, the net is simply removed.
[0004] Since most of the collection nets are laid on the ground, and mulberries are relatively fragile, when mulberries fall onto the nets, they come into direct contact with the ground, causing them to break. Furthermore, because the initial drop point of the mulberries is still some distance from the collection net, the height difference between the two also easily leads to breakage, making the collected mulberries difficult to sell.
[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a mulberry fruit harvesting device. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background art is solved.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A mulberry fruit collection device of this utility model includes a collection net; a through hole is opened at the center of the collection net, and a collection bucket is installed at the through hole of the collection net; a connecting frame is fixedly installed at each of the four corners of the collection net, and two symmetrically arranged sliding grooves are opened on one side of the connecting frame. A first clamping plate and a second clamping plate are slidably connected inside the two sliding grooves respectively. A first threaded hole is opened on one side of the first clamping plate, and a first bolt is threadedly connected inside the second clamping plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are respectively connected to the connecting frame by two springs, and flexible material gaskets are fixedly installed on the sides of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate that are close to each other.
[0009] Furthermore, a number of connecting ropes are fixedly installed on the side of the collection net near the collection bucket. The connecting ropes are arranged in a ring around the through hole, and a counterweight ball is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting ropes.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer surface of the collection bucket has a through groove that communicates with the interior, a sliding block is slidably connected to the interior of the collection bucket, a rectangular plate is fixedly installed on one side of the sliding block, a second bolt is threadedly connected to the interior of the rectangular plate, and a protrusion with a second threaded hole is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the collection bucket.
[0011] Furthermore, the inside of the collection bucket has a groove that communicates with the through slot.
[0012] Furthermore, a protective net is fixedly installed at the bottom of the collecting net, and an elastic rope is fixedly installed on one side of the protective net.
[0013] Furthermore, a flexible cushioning pad is fixedly installed inside the collection bucket.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. The mulberry fruit harvesting device of this utility model involves sliding the first and second clamping plates closer together, using pads to contact the tree, thereby buffering and protecting the tree. This effectively avoids direct contact between the rigid first and second clamping plates and the tree, preventing damage caused by crushing. The first bolt is tightened into the first threaded hole for fixation, thus securing the first and second clamping plates to the tree. After completing the above operation, the remaining three first and second clamping plates are fixed, allowing the collecting net to fully open and collect fallen mulberries. Through its designed structure, when the collecting net is fully extended, it can collect a large area of fallen mulberries. Simultaneously, because the collecting net is inclined towards the through-hole, the fallen mulberries will enter the collecting bucket through the through-hole for collection and storage. The installation height of the collecting net can be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby reducing the height difference when the mulberries fall, thus protecting them. Furthermore, the buffer pad installed inside the collecting bucket protects the mulberries, minimizing damage when they fall into the collecting bucket.
[0016] 2. The mulberry fruit collecting device of this utility model, when installing the collecting bucket, first inserts the end of the collecting net's through hole into the through groove of the collecting bucket, and then moves the rectangular plate, along with the second bolt and sliding block, towards the groove. At this time, the sliding block will carry part of the collecting net into the groove, locking the collecting net in the through groove, and immediately tightening the second bolt on the rectangular plate, so that the second bolt enters the second threaded hole of the protrusion for fixation, thereby quickly fixing the collecting bucket and the collecting net. The quick-release structure designed above achieves rapid installation and disassembly of the collecting bucket. When a collecting bucket is full, it can be quickly removed from the collecting net, and the through hole is blocked with a protective net. Then, the protective net is fixed to the collecting net with an elastic rope, so that the through hole is temporarily no longer discharging mulberries. After completing the above operation, a new collecting bucket is placed at the bottom of the through hole, the protective net at the through hole is opened, and the new collecting bucket is installed into the through hole of the collecting net to continue the collecting function.

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, a mulberry fruit harvesting device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a collection net 1; a through hole 2 is provided at the center of the collection net 1, and a collection bucket 3 is installed at the through hole 2 of the collection net 1; a connecting frame 4 is fixedly installed at each of the four corners of the collection net 1, and two symmetrically arranged sliding grooves 5 are provided on one side of the connecting frame 4. A first clamping plate 6 and a second clamping plate 7 are slidably connected inside the two sliding grooves 5 respectively. A first threaded hole 8 is provided on one side of the first clamping plate 6, and a first bolt 9 is threadedly connected inside the second clamping plate 7.
[0026] Specifically, the first clamping plate 6 and the second clamping plate 7 are respectively connected to the connecting frame 4 by two springs 10. Flexible pads 11 are fixedly installed on the sides of the first clamping plate 6 and the second clamping plate 7 that are close to each other. Several connecting ropes 12 are fixedly installed on the side of the collecting net 1 that is close to the collecting bucket 3. The several connecting ropes 12 are arranged in a ring around the through hole 2, and a counterweight ball 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting ropes 12. A flexible buffer pad 23 is fixedly installed inside the collecting bucket 3.
[0027] When collecting mulberries from trees using the collection net 1, first install several connecting ropes 12 and counterweight balls 13 at the bottom of the through-hole 2 of the collection net 1, and then install the collection bucket 3 into the through-hole 2 of the collection net 1. The collection net 1, influenced by the counterweight balls 13, tilts towards the through-hole 2. Then, fix the four corners of the collection net 1 to other equipment (which can be other trees). Initially, the first clamping plate 6 and the second clamping plate 7 are far apart, and are positioned next to the tree (i.e., the tree is between the first clamping plate 6 and the second clamping plate 7). Then, slide the first clamping plate 6 and the second clamping plate 7 towards each other, using the pad 11 to contact the tree, thus buffering and protecting the tree, effectively preventing the rigid materials of the first clamping plate 6 and the second clamping plate 7 from directly contacting the tree and causing damage. Finally, fix the first clamping plate 6 and the second clamping plate 7 to the tree by turning the first bolt 9 into the first threaded hole 8. After completing the above operations, fix the remaining three first clamping plates 6 and second clamping plates 7 so that the collecting net 1 is fully opened and can collect the fallen mulberries.
[0028] With the structure designed above, when the collecting net 1 is fully extended, it can collect a large area of fallen mulberries. Simultaneously, because the collecting net 1 is tilted towards the through-hole 2, the fallen mulberries will enter the collecting bin 3 through the through-hole 2 for collection and storage. The installation height of the collecting net 1 can be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby reducing the height difference when the mulberries fall and protecting them. Furthermore, a buffer pad 23 is installed inside the collecting bin 3 to protect the mulberries and minimize damage when they fall into the collecting bin 3.
[0029] The outer surface of the collection bucket 3 has a through groove 14 that communicates with the interior. A sliding block 15 is slidably connected inside the collection bucket 3. A rectangular plate 16 is fixedly installed on one side of the sliding block 15. A second bolt 17 is threadedly connected to the interior of the rectangular plate 16. A protrusion 18 with a second threaded hole 19 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the collection bucket 3. A groove 20 communicating with the through groove 14 is also provided inside the collection bucket 3. A protective net 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the collection net 1, and an elastic rope 22 is fixedly installed on one side of the protective net 21.
[0030] During operation, when installing the collection bucket 3, the end of the through hole 2 of the collection net 1 is first inserted into the through groove 14 of the collection bucket 3. Then, by sliding the rectangular plate 16, the rectangular plate 16 moves towards the groove 20 along with the second bolt 17 and the sliding block 15. At this time, the sliding block 15 will carry part of the collection net 1 into the groove 20 and lock the collection net 1 into the through groove 14. Immediately afterward, the second bolt 17 on the rectangular plate 16 is turned so that the second bolt 17 enters the second threaded hole 19 of the protrusion 18 for fixation, thereby quickly fixing the collection bucket 3 to the collection net 1. The quick-release structure designed above enables the rapid installation and removal of the collection bucket 3. When a collection bucket 3 is full, it can be quickly removed from the collection net 1, and the through hole 2 is blocked by the protective net 21. Then, the elastic rope 22 is used to fix the protective net 21 to the collection net 1, so that the through hole 2 is temporarily no longer discharging mulberries. After completing the operation, place the new collection bucket 3 at the bottom of the through hole 2, open the protective net 21 at the through hole 2, install the new collection bucket 3 into the through hole 2 of the collection net 1, and continue the collection process.
[0031] Working Principle: When using the collection net 1 to collect mulberries from the tree, first install several connecting ropes 12 and counterweight balls 13 at the bottom of the through hole 2 of the collection net 1, and then install the collection bucket 3 into the through hole 2 of the collection net 1. The collection net 1, influenced by the counterweight balls 13, tilts towards the through hole 2. Then, fix the four corners of the collection net 1 to other equipment. The first clamping plate 6 and the second clamping plate 7 are initially far apart, and are positioned next to the tree. Then, slide the first clamping plate 6 and the second clamping plate 7 towards each other, using the pad 11 to contact the tree, thus buffering and protecting the tree, effectively preventing the rigid materials of the first clamping plate 6 and the second clamping plate 7 from directly contacting the tree and causing damage. Fix the first clamping plate 6 and the second clamping plate 7 to the tree by turning the first bolt 9 into the first threaded hole 8. Repeat the above steps to fix the remaining three first clamping plates 6 and the second clamping plate 7, allowing the collection net 1 to fully open and collect the fallen mulberries.
[0032] When installing the collection bucket 3, first insert the end of the through hole 2 of the collection net 1 into the through groove 14 of the collection bucket 3, and then move the rectangular plate 16, along with the second bolt 17 and the sliding block 15, towards the groove 20. At this time, the sliding block 15 will carry part of the collection net 1 into the groove 20 and lock the collection net 1 into the through groove 14. Immediately tighten the second bolt 17 on the rectangular plate 16 so that the second bolt 17 enters the second threaded hole 19 of the protrusion 18 for fixation, thereby quickly fixing the collection bucket 3 to the collection net 1. The quick-release structure designed above enables the rapid installation and removal of the collection bucket 3. When a collection bucket 3 is full, it can be quickly removed from the collection net 1, and the through hole 2 can be blocked with the protective net 21. Then, the elastic rope 22 is used to fix the protective net 21 to the collection net 1, so that the through hole 2 is temporarily no longer discharging mulberries. After completing the operation, place the new collection bucket 3 at the bottom of the through hole 2, open the protective net 21 at the through hole 2, install the new collection bucket 3 into the through hole 2 of the collection net 1, and continue the collection process.
