Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural planting technology, specifically a handheld citrus harvester. Background Technology

[0002] Citrus fruits are an important economic crop in agriculture and are widely planted in southern regions. With the large-scale development of the citrus industry, fruit picking, as the core step in the harvesting process, directly affects the commercial value of the fruit and the benefits of planting.

[0003] Currently, handheld harvesters are commonly used to harvest citrus fruits from trees. These harvesters typically have scissors and clamps at the tip of the harvesting pole, and the pull line is driven by a pressing handle at the end of the harvesting pole to achieve remote control of the cutting and opening / closing. The scissors can cut the citrus branches, and the clamps on the scissors can hold and fix the cut citrus branches, thus facilitating the harvesting of citrus fruits from high places.

[0004] However, during use, due to the large overall length of the harvester, farmers are prone to significant swinging when operating it by hand. Especially in working environments with dense foliage and obstructed visibility, the cutting end of the device is prone to accidentally colliding with surrounding branches or directly touching the fruit during the cutting process, causing the citrus fruits on the branches to fall from a height. After the fruit hits the ground, it is easy to be injured, which seriously affects its appearance and storage quality, thereby reducing its commercial value and causing unnecessary economic losses.

[0018] 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.

[0019] Example: Reference Figures 1-6A handheld citrus harvester includes a harvesting pole 1. The head end of the harvesting pole 1 is equipped with scissors and a clamp, with the clamp fixedly connected to the blade of the scissors. The tail end of the harvesting pole 1 has a pressing handle for controlling the opening and closing of the scissors and clamp. Pressing the handle drives a traction line to remotely control the cutting and opening / closing of the scissors for harvesting citrus fruits. It also includes a collection bag 2 and a bag ring 3 mounted on the harvesting pole 1. The bag ring 3 is made of metal or hard plastic and is used to securely open the opening of the collection bag 2. Here, the collection bag 2 can catch accidentally knocked-down fruits, providing protection. The collection bag 2 has a double-layer composite structure; its outer layer is made of Oxford cloth, providing wear resistance, tear resistance, and support, while the inner layer... The layer material is pearl cotton, which can provide flexible cushioning for the fruit and absorb the impact of the fruit. The collection bag 2 is connected to the bag ring 3 by an elastic element, and the elastic element includes a connecting ring 41 that is fixedly connected to the bag ring 3 and the elastic band 4 respectively. The connecting ring 41 is made of leather, which has good flexibility and strength and can provide good connection and support. An elastic band 4 is fixedly connected between the two connecting rings 41. The elastic band 4 is made of rubber or silicone and is used to further cushion and protect the fruit falling into the bag, realizing multi-level cushioning protection for the fruit and improving the protection effect during the harvesting process. The harvesting rod 1 is equipped with an adjustment part, which is used to adjust the usage angle and spatial position of the collection bag 2.

[0020] Of course, in other embodiments, the adjusting part includes a movable sleeve 5 slidably mounted on the picking rod 1. Guide rails 53 are fixedly connected to both sides of the picking rod 1. The movable sleeve 5 has a groove 54, and the guide rails 53 are slidably connected in the groove 54 to guide the movable sleeve 5. A bolt 51 is threadedly connected to the movable sleeve 5. An anti-slip pad 52 is rotatably connected to one end of the bolt 51 located inside the movable sleeve 5. The anti-slip pad 52 is made of rubber. When the bolt 51 rotates, the anti-slip pad 52 deforms under force and presses against the picking rod. On the surface of 1, the movable sleeve 5 is provided with a driving component for adjusting the angle of use of the collection bag 2, and the driving component includes a bracket 6 fixedly connected to the movable sleeve 5, a support plate 61 rotatably mounted on the support 6, a worm gear 7 rotatably connected to the support 6, the support plate 61 fixedly connected to the shaft of the worm gear 7, a worm 71 rotatably connected to the support 6 and meshing with the worm gear 7, a knob 72 fixedly connected to one end of the worm 71, a fixing rod 62 fixedly connected to the support plate 61, and a bag ring 3 fixedly connected to the end of the fixing rod 62 away from the support plate 61.

[0021] Specifically, during the harvesting process, by rotating the bolt 51, the anti-slip pad 52 can be driven away from or pressed against the surface of the harvesting rod 1, so as to fix or release the movable sleeve 5. In the released state, by pushing the movable sleeve 5 to slide along the guide rail 53, the fixed rod 62, the bag ring 3 and the collection bag 2 can be moved synchronously, which makes it easy to adjust the spatial position of the collection bag 2. Furthermore, during use, by rotating the knob 72, the worm 71 and worm wheel 7 are driven to rotate, which in turn drives the support plate 61 and the fixing rod 62 to rotate along the axis of the worm wheel 7, thereby driving the bag ring 3 and the collection bag 2 to rotate synchronously, which makes it easy to adjust the usage angle of the collection bag 2. This handheld citrus picker, through the aforementioned adjustment of the angle and spatial position of the collection bag 2, can flexibly change the fruit-receiving posture of the collection bag 2. It eliminates the need to frequently adjust the angle of the entire picking rod 1 during the picking process to accommodate the collection bag 2, ensuring that it works efficiently with the collection bag 2 and that the bag opening is always aligned with the expected path of the falling fruit, forming a more effective receiving area, thereby improving the convenience and reliability of fruit receiving.
