Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of harvesting devices, and specifically relates to a harvester for morel mushrooms. Background Technology

[0002] Morel mushrooms, also known as delicious morel mushrooms, honeycomb mushrooms, and sunbird mushrooms, are composed of a stem and a cap. They have a crisp and tender texture, a fragrant and delicious taste, and contain a variety of nutrients such as protein, crude fiber, amino acids, and vitamins.

[0003] Morel mushrooms grow in the soil. If the soil comes into contact with the cap of the morel mushroom, it can easily contaminate the morel mushroom and reduce its commercial quality. When harvesting morel mushrooms, workers use a cutting knife to cut the stem with one hand and hold the cut end of the stem with the other hand, then put the cut stem and cap into a basket.

[0004] Referring to Chinese patent document CN211129229U entitled "A Morel Harvesting Knife," the device includes a shell, a placement groove, a handle, a blade, and a rear cover. The shell is a rectangular plate with a placement groove for engaging the mushroom stem. The handle is slidably mounted on the shell, and a detachable blade is threaded onto the handle. The rear cover is mounted on the end of the shell away from the placement groove. In use, the placement groove is routed around one side of the stem and fitted onto it. Then, the handle is slid to allow the blade to cut the stem, thus harvesting the morel. The operation is simple, and the detachable handle and rear cover facilitate blade replacement.

[0005] Referring to the above technical solutions, traditional blades and handles are often on the same horizontal plane. When cutting the stem, because the stem is close to the ground, the worker's hand holding the handle is likely to come into contact with the soil on the ground, which in turn causes the soil to easily stick to the worker's hand or the cap, affecting the quality of morel mushrooms. Grade 1 morel mushrooms require the stem to be retained at 2-3cm. During the harvesting process, it is difficult for the harvester to control the cutting length of the stem. Therefore, a morel mushroom harvesting tool is needed to solve the existing problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to reduce soil adhesion on the hands of harvesters and on the caps of mushrooms, as well as to control the length of the stipe.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a morel mushroom harvester, including a fixed handle, which consists of a downward-extending vertical plate and a rightward-extending horizontal plate. A pressing handle is hinged at the inner corner of the fixed handle, so that the pressing handle can move closer to the fixed handle. A pressing spring is connected between the pressing handle and the horizontal plate, so that the pressing spring provides support for the pressing handle and can make the pressing handle move closer to or away from the fixed handle. A fixed blade parallel to the horizontal plate is connected to the vertical plate. A positioning pin is installed on the end of the fixed blade near the vertical plate. A cutting blade is installed on the positioning pin. An extension plate is provided on the cutting blade. A steel wire rope is connected between the extension plate and the pressing handle. That is, by moving the pressing handle closer to the fixed handle, the steel wire rope acts as a linkage, which can make the cutting blade rotate around the axis of the positioning pin, so that the cutting blade moves closer to the fixed blade to form a cutting action and complete the cutting of the mushroom stem. A measuring column is installed on the fixed blade, so that the measuring column can assist the harvester in controlling the harvesting length of the mushroom stem.

[0008] Optionally, the fixed handle and the pressing handle are provided with locking components for closing the cutting blade and the fixed blade. The locking components include a locking pin one installed on the fixed handle and a locking pin two installed on the pressing handle. A locking plate is rotatably installed on the locking pin two, that is, the locking plate can lock the pressing handle and the fixed handle when the fixed blade and the cutting blade are closed. The locking plate has an arc-shaped groove adapted to the locking pin two, that is, the arc-shaped groove can be engaged with the locking pin one.

[0009] Optionally, an auxiliary post is provided on the inner side of the compression spring, which can prevent the compression spring from bending, so that the compression spring can be compressed or extended in the vertical direction.

[0010] Optionally, a through groove is provided on the pressing handle, and one end of the wire rope is inserted through the through groove. That is, the wire rope is inserted through the through groove, which can stably limit the position of the wire rope, prevent the wire rope from shaking, and improve the stability of the structure.

[0011] Optionally, the fixed blade and the cutting blade are equipped with a protective cover, which can protect the fixed blade and the cutting blade when not in use, and prevent the blade from being exposed and causing safety accidents.

[0012] Optionally, rubber sleeves are installed on both the horizontal plate of the fixed handle and the pressing handle. These rubber sleeves increase the friction between the hand and the handle, improving the stability of the user's grip and increasing comfort.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model features a staggered arrangement of the hand-held and cutting parts of the harvester. This allows the fixed blade and cutting shears to cut the morel mushrooms while keeping the fixed handle and pressing handle away from the ground, preventing soil from adhering to the harvester's hands and the mushroom caps, thus ensuring the quality of the morel mushroom harvest. During harvesting, by observing the alignment of the measuring column with the bottom of the mushroom cap, the harvester can determine the length of the stem to be retained, ensuring that the harvested morel mushrooms meet commercial requirements and increasing their commercial value.

[0014] 2. This utility model, through the cooperation of locking pin one, locking pin two, locking plate and arc groove, can lock the cutting blade and fixed blade, preventing the cutting blade and fixed blade from being accidentally opened when not in use, thus improving safety. At the same time, the locking component is simple and practical in design, easy to operate, and allows harvesters to quickly lock or unlock the blade, improving work efficiency.

[0018] To better understand this utility model, the following embodiments further illustrate its content, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the embodiments described below. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a more thorough understanding of this utility model. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model can be practiced without one or more of these details.

[0019] like Figure 1-4As shown, a morel mushroom harvester includes a fixed handle 1, a cutting component 2, and a locking component 3. The cutting component 2 includes a pressing handle 21. The fixed handle 1 consists of a vertical plate 11 and a horizontal plate 12, with the vertical plate 11 extending downwards and the horizontal plate 12 extending to the right. The pressing handle 21 is hinged at the inner corner of the fixed handle 1. The cutting component 2 cuts the mushroom stem through linkage. The locking component 3 is installed on the fixed handle 1 and the pressing handle 21 to lock the fixed handle 1 and the pressing handle 21.

[0020] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cutting assembly 2 includes a pressing spring 22, a fixed blade 23, a positioning pin 24, a cutting blade 25, an extension plate 26, a steel wire rope 27, auxiliary posts 28, and a through groove 29. A pressing spring 22 is connected between the pressing handle 21 and the horizontal plate 12. The pressing spring 22 is vertically distributed. An auxiliary post 28 is provided on the inner side of the pressing spring 22. There are two auxiliary posts 28, which are fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 12 and the pressing handle 21 respectively. The auxiliary posts 28 are used to prevent the pressing spring 22 from bending.

[0021] A fixed blade 23 parallel to the horizontal plate 12 is connected to the vertical plate 11. A positioning pin 24 is provided through the end of the fixed blade 23 near the vertical plate 11. A cutting blade 25 is installed on the positioning pin 24. The cutting blade 25 rotates around the positioning pin 24 and cooperates with the fixed blade 23 to form a cutting action. An extension plate 26 is provided on the cutting blade 25. The extension plate 26 and the cutting blade 25 are vertically distributed. A steel wire rope 27 is connected between the extension plate 26 and the pressing handle 21. A through groove 29 is opened on the pressing handle 21. One end of the steel wire rope 27 is inserted into the through groove 29. The other end is wrapped around the vertically distributed support on the extension plate 26. When the pressing handle 21 rotates around the hinge point between the pressing handle 21 and the fixed handle 1, it can exert a tension on the steel wire rope 27. Then, under the linkage of the extension plate 26, the cutting blade 25 can rotate around the positioning pin 24 and move closer to the fixed blade 23 to complete the cutting action.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 A measuring column 6 is installed on the fixed blade 23. The measuring column 6 is set vertically on the fixed blade 23 and the height of the measuring column 6 is set to three centimeters. When the harvester cuts the stem, the top of the measuring column 6 can be used as a reference to make the cut when it is flush with the cap.

[0023] Reference Figure 3The locking assembly 3 includes a locking pin 31, a locking pin 32, a locking plate 33, and an arc-shaped groove 34. The locking pin 31 is mounted on the fixed handle 1, and the locking pin 32 is mounted on the pressing handle 21. The locking plate 33 is rotatably mounted on the locking pin 32. The locking plate 33 has an irregular arc-shaped groove 34 that adapts to the locking pin 32. When the pressing spring 22 is compressed, the fixed blade 23 and the cutting blade 25 can be closed by linkage. By rotating the locking plate 33, the arc-shaped groove 34 can be locked onto the locking pin 32.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 The fixed blade 23 and the cutting blade 25 are equipped with protective shells 4, and rubber sleeves 5 are installed on the horizontal plate 12 of the fixed handle 1 and the pressing handle 21. The protective shells 4 are pull-out type and can be fitted onto the closed fixed blade 23 and the cutting blade 25. There are two rubber sleeves 5, which are fitted onto the horizontal plate 12 and the pressing handle 21 respectively, which can enhance the friction between the user and the hand. The setting of protective shells 4 and rubber sleeves 5 can improve the safety performance of the harvester.

[0025] Working principle: When using this morel mushroom harvester, the harvester holds the harvester with one hand, aligning the fixed blade 23 and the cutting blade 25 with the stem of the morel mushroom, and referring to the position where the top of the measuring column 6 is flush with the cap. With the other hand, the harvester gently holds the stem around the fixed blade 23 and the cutting blade 25. The harvester lifts the pressing handle 21 upwards, and the pressing handle 21 rotates around its hinge with the fixed handle 1. At the same time, the pressing spring 22 is compressed. The pressing handle 21 pulls the extension plate 26 through the steel wire rope 27. The extension plate 26 drives the cutting blade 25 to rotate around the positioning pin 24, so that the cutting blade 25 moves closer to the fixed blade 23 until the cutting blade 25 and the fixed blade 23 have cut the stem.

[0026] When harvesting is complete and it is necessary to lock the cutting blade 25 and fix the blade 23, the harvester can rotate the locking piece 33 so that the arc groove 34 is engaged with the locking pin 31, thereby realizing the locking function.

[0027] During the cutting process, since the fixed handle 1 and the pressing handle 21 are far from the ground, soil can be prevented from adhering to the hands of the pickers and the caps of the morel mushrooms. This morel mushroom picker has a simple structure and is easy to operate, which can improve the quality and efficiency of morel mushroom picking.

[0028] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0029] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model.
