Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of morel mushroom cutting and collection technology, specifically a morel mushroom cutting and collection device with a clamping and cutting structure. Background Technology

[0002] Morel mushroom cutting and harvesting devices are agricultural machinery used to harvest morel mushrooms and similar mushrooms. Their main design purpose is to improve the harvesting efficiency of morel mushrooms and reduce the intensity of manual labor, while ensuring that the quality of morel mushrooms is not damaged. For large-scale morel mushroom farms, they can significantly improve work efficiency and reduce labor costs.

[0003] Common morel mushroom cutting devices often result in morel mushrooms falling to the ground after being cut, requiring the user to bend over again to pick them up and place them in a collection bag or basket. Throughout the harvesting period, the actions of bending over, cutting, and picking up mushrooms need to be repeated continuously, which is a very time-consuming and laborious process. Frequent bending over and squatting puts enormous pressure on the lower back, and prolonged work can easily lead to lumbar muscle strain. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a morel mushroom cutting and collecting device with a clamping and cutting structure. The collection channel formed by the inclined blade and the connecting plate integrates cutting and sliding. With the help of the positioning rod to open the collection bag, manual bending and picking are avoided, thus solving the problem that common morel mushroom cutting devices require repeated bending, cutting and picking actions throughout the harvesting period.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a morel mushroom cutting and collecting device with a clamping and cutting structure, including a planting support plate; and four fixing members fixed to the outside of the planting support plate, with ground anchor fixing rods provided at the lower ends of the fixing members, multiple planting holes opened on the surface of the planting support plate, and growth guiding components installed on the planting support plate.

[0006] Fixed rails are installed on the upper ends of the two fixed parts. Moving wheels are rolled inside the fixed rails. Connecting plates are installed on the inner sides of the two moving wheels. Cutting and collecting components are installed on the connecting plates. The moving wheels are used to drive the cutting and collecting components to move. The fixed rails are used to limit and guide the movement trajectory of the moving wheels.

[0007] Furthermore, the growth guiding component includes a planting cylinder installed on the lower end face of the planting support plate and a perforated ring set inside the planting cylinder. The perforated ring adopts a conical structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom. The planting cylinder is used to ensure growth space while providing growth restriction.

[0008] Furthermore, the planting tube is a downward-extending cylindrical structure, and its inner cavity is connected to the planting holes on the planting support plate. It is used to accommodate morel mushroom sticks or spawn and provide an upward growth channel. The perforated ring is used to limit the deviation of the morel mushroom stipe in the early stage of growth and guide it to grow vertically along the center.

[0009] Furthermore, the two fixed rails are symmetrically arranged, with their length direction consistent with the direction of the planting support plate. The moving wheels are embedded in the tracks of the fixed rails and roll in cooperation. The moving wheels can move smoothly along the tracks under the drive of external force. The connecting plate acts as a load-bearing beam to drive the cutting and collecting component to perform cutting operations.

[0010] Furthermore, the cutting and collecting assembly includes a mounting block installed on the lower end face of the connecting plate and a blade detachably mounted on the mounting block. The blade maintains a slight distance from the surface of the planting support plate for cutting morel mushrooms, and the blade is set at an angle.

[0011] Furthermore, the cutting and collecting assembly also includes a fixing plate mounted on the rear end face of the connecting plate and two positioning rods mounted on the fixing plate. There are a total of four positioning rods, which are used to support the opening of the collection bag.

[0012] Furthermore, the space between the blade and the connecting plate serves as a collection channel, and the inclined blade also acts as a guide conveyor surface, guiding the cut morel mushrooms into the collection bag.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. A collection channel is formed between the inclined blade and the connecting plate. The blade itself has both cutting and guiding conveying functions. With the help of four positioning rods at the rear end, the collection bag opening is opened to ensure that the bag is always open. The cut morel mushrooms slide smoothly into the bag along the surface of the blade. The whole process does not require manual bending to pick up morel mushrooms that fall on the ground, thus improving harvesting efficiency.

[0015] 2. The device has no complex transmission mechanism or high-cost sensors. It is mainly composed of metal and plastic components. The manufacturing process is mature and the cost is controllable. It is suitable for widespread application in morel mushroom cultivation bases, greenhouses or forest cultivation environments.

[0022] Morel mushrooms are an edible fungus that is highly sought after in the market for their unique flavor and nutritional value. However, the harvesting of morel mushrooms mainly relies on manual labor, which is not only inefficient but also has a certain impact on the health of workers. The harvesting process usually includes manual identification, manual cutting, and picking, which require workers to frequently bend over or squat, increasing the intensity of labor and potentially leading to occupational diseases.

[0023] Morel mushroom cutting devices are mainly used in the following scenarios: In outdoor morel mushroom fields with large-scale cultivation, workers need to inspect each morel mushroom row by row and manually cut and collect them; In greenhouses under controlled conditions, although the conditions are relatively stable, a large amount of manpower is still needed to harvest morel mushrooms; In morel mushroom cultivation in forests or forest edges, manual harvesting is even more difficult due to the complex terrain.

[0024] Morel mushroom cutting devices are mainly used for the following purposes: Manual cutting tools: During morel mushroom harvesting, workers typically use knives or other manual tools to cut mature morels. This method is simple and direct, but inefficient and prone to damaging the morels due to improper operation. Auxiliary positioning devices: Simple auxiliary devices, such as graduated cutting rods or specialized handheld tools, can help workers find the cutting point more accurately, reducing the risk of accidental cutting or damage to the morels. Portable collection baskets: To facilitate the carrying and storage of cut morels, workers are usually equipped with portable collection baskets or bags. While this device improves convenience to some extent, it does not fundamentally solve the problem of frequent bending over.

[0025] With the development of agricultural automation technology, an increasing number of modern morel mushroom cutting devices have emerged. These new devices, by introducing automated cutting and collection mechanisms, can significantly improve harvesting efficiency, reduce labor intensity, and ensure high product quality.

[0026] These improved devices are not only suitable for various cultivation environments such as fields, greenhouses, and forests, but also significantly improve the harvesting efficiency and quality of morel mushrooms, providing strong technical support for the development of the edible fungi industry.

[0027] With the continuous advancement of agricultural automation technology, the development prospects of morel mushroom cutting devices are very broad. In the future, the following areas will become the focus of research and development: Fully automated and unmanned operation: Leveraging IoT technology and artificial intelligence, future morel mushroom cutting devices are expected to achieve fully automated or even unmanned operation. Through preset parameters and path planning, the equipment can autonomously complete the entire process from identification and cutting to collection without human intervention.

[0028] Multifunctional integration and all-in-one design: Future equipment will not only be limited to cutting and collecting functions, but will also integrate more auxiliary functions, such as environmental monitoring and pest and disease early warning, to form an integrated solution and comprehensively improve the level of production management.

[0029] Green environmental protection and sustainable development: With increasing environmental awareness, future morel mushroom cutting equipment will place greater emphasis on energy conservation, emission reduction, and resource recycling. For example, it will utilize solar power systems and biodegradable materials to manufacture components, reducing its environmental impact.

[0030] In summary, morel mushroom cutting equipment has evolved from traditional manual operation towards automation and intelligence, significantly improving production efficiency and reducing labor intensity, while also providing strong support for the sustainable development of the edible mushroom industry. In the future, with the application of more advanced technologies, this field will usher in an even brighter future.

[0031] 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.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 The morel mushroom cutting and collecting device with a clamping and cutting structure in this embodiment includes a planting support plate 1; it also includes four fixing members 2 fixed on the outside of the planting support plate 1, and the lower end of the fixing member 2 is provided with a ground anchor fixing rod 3. The surface of the planting support plate 1 is provided with multiple planting holes, and a growth guiding component is installed on the planting support plate 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, the device uses a collection channel formed by the inclined blade 10 and the connecting plate 8 to achieve integrated cutting and sliding. The positioning rod 12 opens the collection bag, avoiding manual bending over to pick it up. At the same time, the structure is simple, composed of metal and plastic parts, without complex mechanisms and high-cost sensors, and the manufacturing cost is low, making it easy to promote and use in planting bases, greenhouses and forest environments.

[0034] Please see Figures 1-5In this embodiment, to achieve the oblique mounting of the blade 10 so that the morel mushrooms can automatically slide into the bag after cutting, without having to bend over to pick them up, saving time and effort, a fixed rail 6 is installed on the upper end of the two fixing parts 2 in this embodiment. A movable wheel 7 is rolled inside the track of the fixed rail 6. A connecting plate 8 is installed on the inner side of the two movable wheels 7. A cutting and collecting component is installed on the connecting plate 8. The movable wheel 7 is used to drive the cutting and collecting component to move, and the fixed rail 6 is used to limit and guide the movement trajectory of the movable wheel 7.

[0035] In this embodiment, the fixed rail 6 is installed on the upper end of the fixing component 2 to limit the movement path. The moving wheel 7 rolls in the rail to achieve smooth sliding. The connecting plate 8 connects the moving wheel 7 and the cutting and collecting component to serve as a load-bearing connection. The cutting and collecting component completes the cutting action of the morel mushroom and guides the mushroom to slide down. The overall structure moves along the fixed rail 6 through the moving wheel 7, which drives the cutting and collecting component to align with each planting hole in sequence to achieve continuous cutting operation. After the inclined blade 10 cuts, the morel mushroom naturally slides into the collection bag along its surface, avoiding manual bending and picking, improving harvesting efficiency. The device is stable, reliable and easy to operate, suitable for the rapid harvesting needs of morel mushroom planting areas. The components work together to realize the integrated process of cutting and collecting, reducing labor intensity, improving work comfort and practicality. The structure is compact and easy to maintain, suitable for use in various cultivation environments such as greenhouses and under forests, and can complete the efficient harvesting task without complicated equipment.

[0036] It should be noted that the cutting and collecting assembly includes a mounting block 9 installed on the lower end face of the connecting plate 8 and a blade 10 detachably mounted on the mounting block 9. The blade 10 maintains a slight distance from the surface of the planting support plate 1 for cutting morel mushrooms. The blade 10 is inclined. The cutting and collecting assembly also includes a fixing plate 11 installed on the rear end face of the connecting plate 8 and two positioning rods 12 installed on the fixing plate 11. There are four positioning rods 12 in total. The positioning rods 12 are used to support the opening of the collection bag. The mounting block 9 is used to fix the blade 10 for easy disassembly, replacement, cleaning and maintenance. The blade 10 is used to cut the stem of the morel mushroom. It maintains a slight distance from the planting support plate 1 to avoid friction damage. The inclined setting allows the cut morel mushrooms to slide down its surface. The fixing plate 11 is used to support the positioning rods 12 and provide a mounting support structure. The positioning rods 12 are used to insert into both sides of the bag opening of the collection bag. The four positioning rods 12 work together to open the bag opening outward, keeping the collection bag in an open state, so that the morel mushrooms can fall into the bag smoothly and prevent the bag opening from closing and causing blockage.

[0037] Please see Figures 1-5In this embodiment, the entire device uses common metal and plastic parts. The growth guiding component in this embodiment includes a planting cylinder 4 installed on the lower end face of the planting support plate 1 and a perforated ring 5 set in the planting cylinder 4. The perforated ring 5 adopts a conical structure with a smaller top and a larger bottom. The planting cylinder 4 is used to ensure growth space while providing growth restriction. The two fixed rails 6 are symmetrically arranged, and their length direction is consistent with the direction of the planting support plate 1. The moving wheel 7 is embedded in the track of the fixed rail 6 and rolls in cooperation. The moving wheel 7 can move smoothly along the track under the push of external force. The connecting plate 8 acts as a load-bearing beam to drive the cutting and collecting component to perform cutting operations.

[0038] In this embodiment, the planting support plate 1 is used to create planting holes, providing a positioning base for morel growth and serving as a load-bearing platform for the overall structure. The planting cylinder 4 is used to hold the mushroom sticks or spawn, providing space for mycelial growth and fruiting body development, limiting lateral expansion and maintaining orderly growth. The hole ring 5 adopts a conical structure with a smaller top and a larger bottom to guide the morel to grow vertically upwards, preventing the stipe from initially deviating or growing against the wall. The fixed rail 6 is used to limit the movement path, ensuring that the cutting and collecting components run smoothly along a straight line. The symmetrical arrangement enhances structural stability. The moving wheels 7 are used to roll forward on the track, realizing the horizontal movement of the cutting components. Under the push of external force, continuous operation is possible. The connecting plate 8 is used to connect the moving wheels 7 and the cutting and collecting components, acting as a load-bearing beam to transmit motion and drive the cutting components to complete the hole-by-hole operation.

[0039] It should be noted that the planting cylinder 4 is a downward-extending cylindrical structure, and its inner cavity is connected to the planting holes on the planting support plate 1. It is used to accommodate morel mushroom sticks or spawn and provide an upward growth channel. The perforated ring 5 is used to limit the deviation of the morel mushroom stipe in the early stage of growth and guide it to grow vertically along the center. The space between the blade 10 and the connecting plate 8 is a collection channel. The inclined blade 10 also serves as a guide conveying surface, guiding the cut morel mushrooms into the collection bag. The cylindrical structure of the planting cylinder 4 inserted into the soil and connected to the planting holes on the planting support plate 1 not only provides a stable growth space for the morel mushrooms, but also guides the mycelium to spread upward through its inner cavity, ensuring the vertical growth direction of the morel mushrooms. The unique design of the perforated ring 5 effectively limits the deviation of the morel mushrooms in the early stage of growth, so that they always grow upward along the predetermined path, providing conditions for automated harvesting. The inclined design of the blade 10 uses gravity to naturally guide the cut morel mushrooms into the collection bag, simplifying the harvesting process and improving work efficiency.

[0040] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0041] In use, first install the planting cylinder 4 below the planting support plate 1 and insert it into the soil, aligning the planting hole with the inner cavity of the planting cylinder 4. Place the mushroom stick or spawn into the cylinder, and the morel mushrooms will begin to grow. The conical structure of the hole ring 5 guides the stipe to grow vertically upward, ensuring a neat fruiting posture. When the morel mushrooms reach maturity, push the connecting plate 8 to move along the fixed rail 6. The moving wheel 7 rolls smoothly on the rail, driving the cutting and collecting component to align with the target planting hole. The inclined blade 10 in the cutting and collecting component is close to the surface of the planting support plate 1. During the movement, the blade 10 cuts the morel mushrooms... The base of the morel mushroom is cut off, and the cut mushroom immediately falls onto the inclined blade 10 due to gravity. The inclined blade 10 serves as a guide and conveying surface, allowing the morel mushroom to slide naturally along its surface. The hole between the blade 10 and the connecting plate 8 forms a collection channel, guiding the mushroom to move backward and downward. The positioning rod 12 at the rear has opened the collection bag, and the morel mushroom smoothly slides into the bag, completing the harvest. The entire process does not require manual bending over to pick up the mushrooms. The moving wheel 7 drives the component to move continuously, and multiple planting holes can be cut and collected in sequence, achieving efficient and convenient batch harvesting operations.

[0042] It should be noted that the control method of this utility model is controlled by a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by those skilled in the art through simple programming. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail here.

[0043] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
