[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 The tea-picking machine in one embodiment of this application includes a housing 1, a drive component, a cutting assembly 2, and a collection box 3.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 The drive unit is installed inside the housing 1, and the cutting assembly 2 is installed at one end of the housing 1 and is connected to the drive unit for transmission. The drive unit can be a motor, and a transmission assembly can be provided between the drive unit and the cutting assembly 2 to enable transmission between them. The transmission assembly can be designed with reference to existing technology, and its specific structure will not be described in detail in this application. Both the drive unit and the transmission assembly are installed inside the housing 1, but are not shown in the figure.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The cutting assembly 2 includes a first blade and a second blade. A drive unit can drive the first blade and the second blade to perform relative reciprocating motion to cut the tea leaves. The collection box 3 is configured to cooperate with the cutting assembly 2 to collect the tea leaves. The collection box 3 includes a base plate 31 and a side plate 32 that partially surrounds the base plate 31. The side plate 32 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. In this embodiment, the side plate 32 is arranged on three sides and forms an inlet for the tea leaves to enter the collection box 3.

[0032] Compared to the existing design where the acquisition box 3 is only connected to the cutting component 2, in this application, the side plate 32 of the acquisition box 3 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, which can further constrain the displacement of the acquisition box 3 to reduce the vibration amplitude caused by its eccentric installation, thus optimizing the user experience.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​fixing between the side plate 32 and the housing 1 is used as an example for illustrative purposes. In other embodiments, the connection method can also be other fixing methods such as screw fixing or adhesive fixing. This application does not limit the connection method.

[0034] Reference Figures 3 to 6 Specifically, in this embodiment, a snap-fit ​​plate 4 is connected to the side plate 32. The snap-fit ​​plate 4 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 41, and the housing 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 13. The snap-fit ​​part 41 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 13. The housing 1 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12 that can be covered by each other. The snap-fit ​​groove 13 is formed in the covering space of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. The snap-fit ​​plate 4 has an opening 42 for the housing 1 to be inserted. The snap-fit ​​part 41 is a buckle provided at the opening 42, and the buckle snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 13.

[0035] Reference Figure 6 In this embodiment, the buckle can be configured as a triangular inverted buckle. In other embodiments, the buckle can also be other shapes, and this application does not impose specific limitations on this. The housing 1 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12 that can be mutually fitted to facilitate the operation of the buckle engaging in the engagement groove 13. In other embodiments, the housing 1 can also be configured as a single unit and have an engagement groove 13 for engaging with the buckle.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The side plate 32 adjacent to the housing 1 has a notch 33. When the housing 1 is inserted into the opening 42, the side wall of the notch 33 abuts against the housing 1. When the side wall of the notch 33 abuts against the housing 1, it can further limit and constrain the acquisition box 3, thereby reducing the vibration of the acquisition box 3.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The collecting box 3 and the cutting assembly 2 are also relatively fixed by a connecting component, with the base plate 31 of the collecting box 3 attached to the cutting assembly 2. In this application, the base plate 31 of the collecting box 3 is directly installed with the first blade and the second blade. Compared with the existing design where the first blade and the second blade are pre-installed through a back groove plate and then the back groove plate is installed on the base plate 31 of the collecting box 3, this application eliminates the back groove plate and uses the base plate 31 to define the position of the first blade and the second blade, thus reducing the weight of the entire tea picking machine and optimizing the user experience.

[0038] Specifically, the portion of the collection box 3 that fits against the cutting component 2 protrudes towards the cutting component 2. The base plate 31 of the collection box 3 has mounting holes 34, and the cutting component 2 is installed by fasteners that engage with the mounting holes 34 of the collection box 3. In this embodiment, both the first and second blades have oblong holes, and fasteners pass through the oblong holes and the mounting holes 34. The ends of the fasteners and the base plate 31 of the collection box 3 form a space for the first and second blades to reciprocate relative to each other. Bolts and nuts can be used as fasteners to accommodate the first blade, the second blade, and the collection box 3.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 The cutting component 2 extends along the side of the base plate 31 not enclosed by the side plate 32. A guide plate 5 extends from at least one end of the cutting component 2, and the guide plate 5 extends in an open direction relative to the feed inlet of the collection box 3. In this embodiment, the collection box 3 has a snap-fit ​​plate 4 connected to the housing 1 and a guide plate 5 on the side adjacent to the housing 1. The guide plate 5 and the snap-fit ​​plate 4 are integrally formed. The guide plate 5 guides the tea leaves into the collection box 3 to improve the tea leaf collection efficiency.

[0040] It is understood that in other embodiments, a guide plate 5 may be provided at the end of the cutting component 2 away from the housing 1, or a guide plate 5 may be provided at both ends of the cutting component 2. This application does not limit this.

[0041] The tea-picking machine of this application drives the cutting assembly 2 via a drive component, causing the first and second blades to reciprocate relative to each other to cut the tea leaves, which are then collected by the collection box 3. The collection box 3 is fixedly connected to both the cutting assembly 2 and the machine housing 1, thus constraining the displacement of the collection box 3 to reduce vibration caused by eccentric installation. The base plate 31 of the collection box 3 is directly connected to the cutting assembly 2, reducing the overall weight of the machine. The guide plate 5 effectively guides the tea leaves into the collection box 3, thereby optimizing the user experience and improving tea-picking efficiency.

[0042] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this disclosure is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that this disclosure can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of this disclosure is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this disclosure.
