[0023] 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.
[0024] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a portable fruit tree picking tool, including a support tube 1. The top end of the support tube 1 is provided with a picking component for picking fruit, and the support tube 1 drives the picking component in multiple ways through functional components.
[0025] The functional components include a servo motor 3 located on one side of the driven bevel gear 2, a meshing main bevel gear 4 located at the bottom of the driven bevel gear 2, a telescopic rod 5 installed at the bottom of the main bevel gear 4, a fixed ring 6 connected to the top of the telescopic rod 5 by a bearing, and a handle 7 installed at the bottom of the telescopic rod 5.
[0026] When harvesting fruit using the material-retrieving device on the support tube 1, the worker needs to adjust the device to a suitable height. Therefore, an installation ring 14 is installed at the bottom of the support tube 1 via a bearing. The installation ring 14 is movably connected to the outside of the bottom of the telescopic rod 5 via a bearing, and the handle 7 is located at the bottom of the installation ring 14. A threaded tube 15 is installed on the top of the installation ring 14 and sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 5. An adjusting tube 16 is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded tube 15. The bottom of the hollow column 8 at the top of the adjusting tube 16 is fixed together, and the adjusting tube 16 is connected to the through hole 13. The outside of the fixing ring 6 is fixed to the inner wall of the top of the adjusting tube 16.
[0027] This allows the rotating mounting ring 14 to drive the threaded tube 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded adjusting tube 16 to rotate. Since the support tube 1 has two symmetrically distributed grooves 17 inside, and each groove has a slider 18 at the bottom, the end of the slider 18 away from the groove 17 is fixed to the bottom of the adjusting tube 16. This allows the slider 18 and the groove 17 to limit the adjustment tube 16, thereby ensuring that the adjusting tube 16 can drive the material taking part to move vertically up and down, achieving the effect of height adjustment of the material taking part.
[0028] After adjusting the height of the picking component, the operator needs to drive the picking component to harvest the fruit. The picking component includes a hollow column 8 located at the top of the support tube 1. A threaded rod 9 is installed inside the hollow column 8 and is movably connected to it via bearings. Both ends of the threaded rod 9 are threadedly connected to movable plates 10. Cutting blades 11 are installed on the side of the two movable plates 10 that are close to each other at the rear. A slide rail 12 is opened on the side of the hollow column 8 corresponding to the two cutting blades 11. The two cutting blades 11 are located inside the slide rail 12. A bevel gear 2 is sleeved on the outside of the threaded rod 9 and is located between the two cutting blades 11. A through hole 13 is opened on the bottom of the hollow column 8 corresponding to the side of the telescopic rod 5. The top of the telescopic rod 5 is located inside the through hole 13. A servo motor 3 is installed on one side of the hollow column 8, and the output shaft of the servo motor 3 passes through the hollow column 8 and is fixed to one end of the threaded rod 9.
[0029] This makes it easier for workers to drive the threaded rod 9 to rotate using the servo motor 3. Since the threads at both ends of the threaded rod 9 are opposite in direction, and the rear end section of the moving plate 10 and the slide 12 are both rectangular, the outer rear end of the moving plate 10 contacts the inner wall of the slide 12, so that the threaded rod 9 can drive the cutting blades 11 on the two moving plates 10 to move inward synchronously. The cutting blades 11 cut off the root of the fruit, and the rectangular slide 12 can limit the movement of the moving plate 10 to prevent the moving plate 10 from shaking and ensure the stability of the moving plate 10 when it moves.
[0030] To prevent the fruit from falling to the ground and breaking, it is necessary to hold the harvested fruit. Therefore, a connecting ring 19 is fitted on the outside of the top of the regulating tube 16. An assembly ring 20 is installed on the rear side of the connecting ring 19. A net bag 21 is installed at the bottom of the assembly ring 20. A connecting ring 22 is installed at the bottom of the net bag 21. A bottom plate 23 is threaded inside the connecting ring 22. The fruit cut by the cutter 11 falls directly into the net bag 21. The net bag 21 stores the fruit, thus preventing it from falling to the ground and breaking. Holding multiple fruits at once can effectively improve harvesting efficiency. After harvesting, the workers can rotate the bottom plate 23 to separate it from the connecting ring 22, making it easy to take out the fruit from the bottom of the net bag 21.
[0031] Meanwhile, when the servo motor 3 malfunctions or is underpowered, the operator can rotate the handle 7 to rotate the telescopic rod 5. The telescopic rod 5 is connected to the adjusting tube 16 through the fixing ring 6, so that the main bevel gear 4 at the top of the telescopic rod 5 can always maintain linkage with the driven bevel gear 2. Thus, when the telescopic rod 5 drives the main bevel gear 4 to rotate, the main bevel gear 4 drives the threaded rod 9 to rotate through the meshing driven bevel gear 2. The threaded rod 9 then drives the cutting knife 11 on the moving plate 10 to pick the fruit. In this way, the effect of driving the material picking part in multiple ways can be achieved, improving the versatility and practicality of operation.
[0032] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
