Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit picking technology, and in particular to a high-position fruit picker. Background Technology

[0002] In agricultural production, fruit harvesting is a crucial and labor-intensive task. Harvesting ripe fruit from the tree promptly, efficiently, and without damage plays a key role in ensuring fruit quality and maximizing farmers' economic benefits.

[0003] Traditional fruit harvesting methods rely primarily on manual labor, requiring farmers to use ladders, climb trees, or use other means to reach the fruit at higher elevations. This method is not only inefficient but also poses significant safety hazards, with farmers prone to falls and other accidents while working at heights. With technological advancements, various fruit harvesting devices have emerged on the market, providing farmers with greater convenience in their harvesting efforts.

[0004] For example, the fruit harvester disclosed in publication number CN218337205U has a simple structure and is easy to carry. It can harvest Yulu fragrant pears by pushing upwards and tilting to the side, with relatively high harvesting efficiency and without scratching the fruit, making it quite practical. However, this harvester also has obvious shortcomings. On the one hand, after each fruit is harvested, one end of the harvester needs to be lowered to place the fruit properly. The frequent raising and lowering of the harvester consumes a lot of time, seriously affecting the overall harvesting efficiency. On the other hand, the harvester is difficult to adjust its length, making it difficult to adapt to diverse harvesting environments such as different tree heights and orchard terrains. Its limitations are particularly prominent when facing complex agricultural harvesting scenarios.

[0005] Therefore, developing a highly practical, easy-to-operate, and structurally sound high-position fruit harvester to solve the problems of low harvesting efficiency and difficulty in length adjustment of existing harvesters has become an important issue that urgently needs to be addressed in the field of agricultural fruit harvesting. Utility Model Content

[0006] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0007] The technical problem solved by the utility model is to provide a high-position fruit harvester, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] (II) Technical Solution

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a high-position fruit harvester, comprising a ring, an installation frame fixedly connected to one side of the ring, a threaded hole on one side of the installation frame, a blade threadedly connected to the top of the installation frame, an anti-fall net fixedly connected to the bottom of the ring, an air bladder fixedly connected to the bottom of the anti-fall net, an inflation port fixedly connected to one side of the air bladder, a plug fixedly connected to one side of the inflation port, and a circular bracket fixedly connected to one end of the anti-fall net.

[0010] Optionally, a base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the circular bracket, and a floor plug is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base. The floor plug can be inserted into the ground.

[0011] Optionally, an inner rod is fixedly connected to one side of the ring, and a positioning hole is formed on the surface of the inner rod. The positioning hole can limit the length of the inner rod.

[0012] Optionally, one end of the inner rod is sleeved with an outer rod, and the surface of the outer rod has an adjustment hole. The length of the inner rod can be adjusted by aligning the spring buckle with different adjustment holes.

[0013] Optionally, a spring buckle is fixedly connected inside the inner rod, and a spring is fixedly connected inside the spring buckle. The spring buckle can limit the length of the inner rod.

[0014] Optionally, a handle is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the outer rod, and an anti-slip sleeve is fixedly connected to the surface of the handle. The handle is convenient for a person to grip.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] This utility model provides a high-position fruit harvester, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] Significantly Improved Harvesting Efficiency: This high-position fruit harvester features a fall-prevention net, air bladder, plug, circular support, and ground anchor. In actual use, first insert the ground anchor into the appropriate position to ensure the fall-prevention net doesn't drag on the ground. Then, inflate the air bladder and tighten the plug. When workers use a blade to cut the fruit stem, the fruit will roll down the fall-prevention net to the top of the air bladder for cushioning. At this point, another person can simply retrieve the fruit from the circular support and place it in a prepared cardboard box. This eliminates the need to lower the harvester after each harvest, avoiding the time wasted on frequent raising and lowering of the harvester, greatly improving harvesting efficiency. It allows for the harvesting of more fruit in a shorter time, meeting the needs of large-scale agricultural fruit harvesting.

[0018] Highly adaptable to various harvesting environments: This harvester features an inner rod, outer rod, adjustment holes, and spring buckles. During use, operators simply press the spring buckle and pull the inner rod, allowing the buckle to extend from different adjustment holes on the outer rod surface, easily limiting the extension length of the inner rod. This design allows the harvester to be adjusted in length, easily adapting to fruit trees of different heights and orchard terrains. Whether it's tall trees, low shrubs, or orchards with significant undulations, the harvester's length can be easily adjusted to ensure smooth harvesting, improving its versatility and adaptability in agricultural production.

[0019] Ensuring Fruit Quality: The combined design of the anti-fall net and airbags provides excellent cushioning protection for fruit during harvesting. After the fruit is cut from the tree, it slides down the anti-fall net onto the airbags. The elasticity of the airbags effectively reduces the impact on the fruit, preventing damage from the fall and maximizing its quality. This is significant for increasing the market value of fruit and reducing economic losses for fruit farmers, meeting the strict quality control requirements in agricultural production.

[0020] Enhanced stability: The ground-mounted design provides stable support for the circular support frame. During harvesting, inserting the ground-mounted stakes increases the stability of the circular frame, ensuring that the safety net and the entire harvesting device do not shake or shift during operation. This not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of harvesting but also ensures the safety of workers, creating more stable and reliable conditions for agricultural fruit harvesting.

[0021] Enhancing ease of operation: The design of the handle and anti-slip sleeve fully considers the operator's experience. The handle makes it easy for operators to grip the harvester, while the high friction of the anti-slip sleeve effectively prevents the handle from slipping during use, ensuring that operators can firmly control the harvester and reducing the occurrence of fruit drops or other accidents due to operational errors. This further improves the efficiency and safety of harvesting, making harvesting easier and more convenient, meeting the needs of agricultural production for tool ease of operation.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0029] A high-position fruit harvester includes a circular ring 1, with a mounting frame 2 fixedly connected to one side of the inner side of the ring 1. The mounting frame 2 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, a material that is lightweight, easy for operators to hold for extended periods, and highly corrosion-resistant, adaptable to various outdoor environments. One side of the mounting frame 2 has threaded holes, precisely machined during manufacturing to ensure the threads meet standards for a secure connection with blades 3. The top of the mounting frame 2 is threaded with blades 3, made of high-quality stainless steel with specially polished blades that are exceptionally sharp, easily cutting fruit stems. For easy blade replacement, during installation, simply align the blade 3 with the threaded hole at the top of the mounting frame 2 and tighten clockwise; when the blade 3 is worn and needs replacement, unscrew it counter-clockwise.

[0030] A fall arrestor net 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the circular ring 1. The fall arrestor net 4 is woven from high-strength, high-elasticity nylon material, with carefully designed mesh sizes to ensure fruit can pass through smoothly while preventing it from getting stuck during the fall. An air bladder 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fall arrestor net 4. The air bladder 5 is made of high-quality rubber material, possessing good elasticity and sealing performance. An inflation port is fixedly connected to one side of the air bladder 5. The inflation port uses a one-way valve design with good sealing performance. During inflation, simply connect the inflation device to the inflation port, and gas can smoothly enter the air bladder 5. After inflation, the one-way valve automatically closes to prevent gas leakage. A plug 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the inflation port. The plug 6 and the inflation port are connected with a tight threaded connection to ensure no air leakage during use. A circular bracket 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the fall arrestor net 4. The circular bracket 7 is welded from sturdy steel pipes and has a rust-proof surface treatment, enabling long-term use in outdoor environments.

[0031] The circular bracket 7 is fixedly connected to a base made of heavy-duty cast iron, providing excellent stability. A ground plug 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base; the ground plug 8 is a sharp, conical shape, making insertion into the ground easier. The surface of the ground plug 8 is galvanized, enhancing its corrosion resistance and extending its service life. In actual use, workers simply align the ground plug 8 with the ground and insert it firmly to secure the circular bracket 7 to the ground, ensuring that the fall protection net 4 does not drag on the ground.

[0032] An inner rod 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the ring 1. The inner rod 9 is made of lightweight carbon fiber, possessing high strength and good toughness. Positioning holes are formed on the surface of the inner rod 9, evenly distributed at a certain interval and precisely machined to ensure positional accuracy. An outer rod 10 is sleeved at one end of the inner rod 9. The outer rod 10 is also made of carbon fiber, and its inner diameter matches the outer diameter of the inner rod 9, ensuring smooth sliding of the inner rod 9 within the outer rod 10. Adjustment holes are formed on the surface of the outer rod 10, the size of which is adapted to the spring buckle 11. Aligning the spring buckle 11 with different adjustment holes allows adjustment of the length of the inner rod 9, thus accommodating fruit trees of different heights.

[0033] The inner rod 9 is internally fixedly connected to a spring buckle 11, which consists of a spring 12 and a buckle body. The spring 12 is made of high-quality stainless steel spring steel, which has good elasticity and fatigue life. The surface of the buckle body is smoothed to reduce friction with the adjustment hole, ensuring that the spring buckle 11 can pop out and retract smoothly. When it is necessary to adjust the length of the inner rod 9, the operator only needs to press the spring buckle 11 to retract it into the inner rod 9, then pull the inner rod 9 to adjust it to the appropriate length, and then release the spring buckle 11. The spring buckle 11 will pop out under the action of the spring 12 and lock into the corresponding adjustment hole, thereby limiting the length of the inner rod 9.

[0034] A handle 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the outer rod 10. The handle 13 has an ergonomically designed shape and a non-slip surface for a comfortable grip. A non-slip sleeve 14 is fixedly connected to the surface of the handle 13. The non-slip sleeve 14 is made of soft rubber with raised textures on the surface to further increase friction and prevent the handle 13 from slipping.

[0035] To further enhance the practicality of the harvester, a lighting device can be added to the other side of ring 1. This device uses high-brightness LEDs and is battery-powered. In low-light environments, such as early morning or evening harvesting, workers can turn on the lighting to provide ample illumination, improving harvesting accuracy and efficiency. Simultaneously, a cushioning pad made of soft sponge material can be installed inside the fall protection net 4 to further reduce the impact on the fruit during its fall, better protecting its quality.

[0036] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:

[0037] First step: Insert the ground stake 8 into a suitable position so that the fall protection net 4 does not drag on the ground. Inflate the airbag 5 and tighten the stopper 6. The worker holds the handle 13, presses the spring buckle 11 according to the height of the fruit tree, pulls the inner rod 9, aligns the spring buckle 11 with the appropriate adjustment hole, and adjusts the length of the inner rod 9 so that the blade 3 can accurately aim at the fruit stem. If the environment is dimly lit, turn on the lighting device 16. Then, cut the fruit stem with the blade 3. After being picked, the fruit rolls through the fall protection net 4 onto the top of the airbag 5, where it is further cushioned by the buffer pad 17, reducing the impact on the fruit.

[0038] Step 2: Another person stands near the circular support 7 and removes the fruit through it. A cardboard box can be placed nearby, and the removed fruit is placed inside the box, enabling quick fruit picking and assembly. If the length of the picker needs to be adjusted again during the picking process, simply repeat the steps above for adjusting the length of the inner rod 9.

[0039] In summary, this high-position fruit harvester, through its reasonable structural design and optimized functional configuration, effectively solves the problems of low harvesting efficiency and difficulty in length adjustment of existing harvesters. It also adds functions such as lighting and buffering, improving the harvester's practicality and applicability, and providing a more convenient and efficient tool for agricultural fruit harvesting.
