Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flower and fruit thinner technology, specifically a scissor assembly for a flower and fruit thinner. Background Technology
[0002] In agricultural production, if there are too many flowers and fruits during the growth of grapes, the plant's nutrients will be dispersed, resulting in insufficient nutrients for each fruit, which will affect the quality and size of the fruit. Flower and fruit thinners are tools used to solve this problem, helping fruit growers to accurately remove excess flowers and fruits.
[0003] Most flower and fruit thinners on the market are relatively simple in function, focusing mainly on the core function of removing flowers and fruits, but generally lacking the additional structure of scissors. In the actual process of thinning grape flowers and fruits, simply removing excess flowers and fruits is often not enough. During the growth of grapevines, some excess branches will appear. These branches not only consume the plant's nutrients, but also affect ventilation and light conditions, which is not conducive to the growth and development of grapes. However, when fruit growers use existing flower and fruit thinners, if they find that excess branches need to be pruned, they must put down the flower and fruit thinner and pick up scissors to prune the branches. This process requires frequent tool changes, which is not only cumbersome, but also consumes a lot of time and energy. Especially in large-scale vineyards, this frequent tool-changing operation will significantly reduce overall work efficiency and increase labor costs.
[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the problem of frequent tool changes and cumbersome operation in the above-mentioned technologies, there is an urgent need for a scissor assembly for flower and fruit thinning tools. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a scissor assembly for a flower and fruit thinner to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A scissor assembly for a flower and fruit thinner includes a scissor mechanism, a collecting mechanism at the bottom of the scissor mechanism, and a top of the collecting mechanism fixedly connected to the bottom of the scissor mechanism.
[0008] The scissor mechanism includes a left top shell, a left bottom shell at the bottom of the left top shell, a right bottom shell attached to the right side of the left bottom shell, a handle installed at the bottom of the left bottom shell, the top of the handle being installed with the right bottom shell, and two blades arranged on the outer side of the handle, which are adapted to each other.
[0009] The handle is the control part at the bottom of the housing, that is, the part that is gripped and controlled by the user. The two blades are adapted to each other and work together to prune branches. The two blades have threaded holes inside, and bolts are threaded into the threaded holes. The tops of the bolts are respectively connected to the internal threads of the same handle.
[0010] Preferably, a right top shell is attached to the right side of the left top shell, a rotating shaft is provided at the bottom of the left bottom shell, the rotating shaft is inserted into the right bottom shell, the rotating shaft is inserted into the right top shell, the rotating shaft is inserted into the left top shell, a retainer is provided at the top of the left top shell, and a bolt is threadedly connected to the internal thread of the retainer, the bolt being threadedly connected to the rotating shaft.
[0011] Preferably, a flower and fruit thinning component is installed on the top of the left top shell, and the bottom of the flower and fruit thinning component is installed with the right top shell.
[0012] Among them, the flower and fruit thinning component is existing technology.
[0013] Preferably, the collection mechanism includes a support column, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft, and two mesh frames are provided on the back of the support column, with a collection net fixedly connected between the two mesh frames.
[0014] The collection net is made of elastic material, which can stretch the connected collection net when the two side net frames are separated.
[0015] Preferably, both of the space frames are internally threaded with bolts, and the two bolts are threadedly connected to the left bottom shell and the right bottom shell, respectively.
[0016] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support column, a fixed rod is movably connected to the inside of the mounting plate, a rotating block is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the fixed rod, and the outer side of the rotating block is fixedly connected to the grid frame.
[0017] Preferably, the upper and lower ends of the fixing rod are respectively fixedly connected to limit plates, and the two limit plates are adapted to the mounting plate.
[0018] This utility model, by adopting the above technical solution, has significant technical effects:
[0019] First, the left top shell and left bottom shell enclose the right bottom shell and the right bottom shell. The pivot is the key component for the opening and closing movement of the scissor mechanism. It allows the left and right bottom shells to rotate relative to each other around the pivot, thereby driving the blade to complete the cutting action. The combination of the retainer and bolts serves to fix the pivot, preventing axial movement of the pivot during use and ensuring the movement accuracy and stability of the scissor mechanism. The left top shell, left bottom shell, right bottom shell and right bottom shell are connected into a whole and fixed by several bolts. In actual use, after cleaning with the flower and fruit thinning component, the excess branches are pruned by the blade at the bottom, which saves the time of changing tools and speeds up the work.
[0020] Secondly, the collection mechanism assists the shearing and thinning of flowers and fruits by fixing the two net frames together. The collection net collects flowers, fruits, and branches generated during shearing and thinning. Support columns provide basic support, and fixed rods within the mounting plate provide rotational support for the rotating block, allowing the net frame itself to rotate with the rotating block. Limiting plates restrict the axial movement of the fixed rods. During the rotation of the rotating block around the fixed rods and the movement of the entire collection mechanism with the shearing mechanism, the limiting plates ensure that the fixed rods remain stably within the mounting plate and will not detach due to external forces. In actual use, the shearing mechanism frequently separates and reassembles during pruning. The bolts allow the net frames on both sides to separate along with the overall structure, and also expand the collection net to increase the collection range. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The right side of the left top shell 101 is fitted with the right top shell 102. The bottom of the left bottom shell 103 is provided with a rotating shaft 105. The rotating shaft 105 is inserted into the right bottom shell 104, the right top shell 102, and the left top shell 101. The top of the left top shell 101 is provided with a retainer 106. The internal thread of the retainer 106 is connected with a bolt, which is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft 105.
[0031] The top of the left top shell 101 is equipped with a flower and fruit thinning component 108, and the bottom of the flower and fruit thinning component 108 is installed with the right top shell 102.
[0032] Through the above technical solution, the left top shell 101 and the left bottom shell 103 enclose the right bottom shell 102 and the right bottom shell 104. The rotating shaft 105 is the key component for the opening and closing movement of the scissor mechanism 1. It allows the left bottom shell 103 and the right bottom shell 104 to rotate relative to each other around the rotating shaft 105, thereby driving the blade 107 to complete the cutting action. The combination of the retainer 106 and the bolts serves to fix the rotating shaft 105, preventing the rotating shaft 105 from axially moving during use, ensuring the movement accuracy and stability of the scissor mechanism, and connecting the left top shell 101, the left bottom shell 103, the right bottom shell 102 and the right bottom shell 104 into a whole, and then fixing it with several bolts. In actual use, after cleaning by the flower and fruit thinning component 108, the excess branches are pruned by the blade 107 at the bottom, which can save the time of changing tools and speed up the work.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] Please see Figure 4Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the following is obtained: the collection mechanism 2 includes a support column 201, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 105. Two mesh frames 206 are provided on the back of the support column 201, and a collection net 207 is fixedly connected between the two mesh frames 206.
[0035] Both space frames 206 have internal threaded bolts, which are threaded to the left bottom shell 103 and the right bottom shell 104 respectively.
[0036] A mounting plate 202 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support column 201. A fixing rod 203 is movably connected inside the mounting plate 202. A rotating block 205 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the fixing rod 203. The outer side of the rotating block 205 is fixedly connected to the space frame 206.
[0037] The upper and lower ends of the fixing rod 203 are respectively fixedly connected to the limiting pieces 204, and the two limiting pieces 204 are adapted to the mounting plate 202.
[0038] Through the above technical solution, the collection mechanism 2 provides assistance for the shearing and thinning of flowers and fruits by the scissors mechanism 1. Through the fixing between the two net frames 206, the collection net 207 collects the flowers, fruits, and branches generated during the shearing and thinning process. The support column 201 provides basic support, and the fixed rod 203 within the mounting plate 202 provides rotational support for the rotating block 205, allowing the net frame 206 to rotate with the rotating block 205. The limiting plate 204 restricts the axial movement of the fixed rod 203. During the rotation of the rotating block 205 around the fixed rod 203 and the movement of the entire collection mechanism 2 with the scissors mechanism 1, the limiting plate 204 ensures that the fixed rod 203 remains stably within the mounting plate 202 and will not detach from the mounting plate 202 due to external forces. In actual use, the scissors mechanism 1 frequently separates and reassembles during pruning. The bolt fixing allows the net frames 206 on both sides to separate with the overall structure and expands the collection net 207 to increase the collection range.
