Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pepper processing technology, specifically a portable handheld pepper harvesting device. Background Technology

[0002] Sichuan pepper, an important seasoning spice and economic crop, is primarily harvested manually by hand or with simple tools such as scissors and tweezers. The branches are covered in sharp thorns, making it easy to cut the hands of harvesters, increasing labor risks and potentially causing pain that can distort harvesting movements, further reducing efficiency. Furthermore, the small size and clustered growth of Sichuan pepper fruits make it difficult to precisely control the force when picking them individually, easily causing fruit to fall off or be damaged, affecting the quality and subsequent processing value.

[0003] On the other hand, existing simple harvesting tools have limited functions, mostly only capable of simple cutting or stripping actions, and cannot flexibly adjust the harvesting method according to the growth status of the pepper, such as the maturity of the fruit and the thickness of the stem. For example, for peppers with thick stems, ordinary scissors are difficult to cut quickly, and pulling is likely to occur, resulting in damage to the branches; while for harvesting scenarios where the stem needs to be preserved, traditional stripping tools cannot accurately separate the fruit from the stem, which can easily cause the fruit to break.

[0004] In addition, during manual harvesting, the pepper fruits are difficult to collect and fall off frequently, which not only wastes resources but also increases the workload of subsequent cleanup. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a portable handheld pepper harvesting device, comprising:

[0006] The upper pressure rod has a lower fixing ring fixedly installed at one end, and the lower fixing ring is a ring structure with a hollow center;

[0007] The lower pressure rod is hinged to the upper pressure rod. An upper fixing ring is fixedly provided at the end of the lower pressure rod. A cutting tool structure for picking is detachably provided on the upper fixing ring. The cutting tool structure and the upper fixing ring cooperate to form a ring structure that is compatible with the lower fixing ring.

[0008] Furthermore, a second connecting buckle is rotatably mounted on the lower pressure rod, and the second connecting buckle is connected to the first connecting buckle via a connecting spring. The first connecting buckle is rotatably mounted on the upper pressure rod.

[0009] Furthermore, a collection bucket with a conical structure is fixedly installed below the lower fixing ring, and a collection opening and closing ring for opening and closing the internal channel of the collection bucket is rotatably provided at the bottom of the collection bucket.

[0010] Furthermore, the other end of the upper pressure rod is fixedly provided with an upper pressure handle made of rubber material, and the upper pressure handle is provided with anti-slip grooves protruding from its surface.

[0011] Furthermore, a pressure handle made of rubber material is fixedly provided at the other end of the pressure rod, and the pressure handle is provided with anti-slip grooves protruding from its surface.

[0012] Furthermore, the tool structure is detachably mounted on the upper fixing ring by fastening bolts, and the tool structure includes a shearing tool and an evacuation tool.

[0013] Furthermore, the evacuation blade is equipped with multiple fruit-plucking columns for harvesting, and the fruit-plucking columns are spaced apart on the evacuation blade. The gap between adjacent fruit-plucking columns is smaller than the diameter of the pepper fruit.

[0014] Furthermore, the shearing blade is provided with a cutting edge, which intermittently contacts the lower fixing ring to cut off the pepper stalk located between the cutting edge and the lower fixing ring.

[0015] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are:

[0016] 1. Improve harvesting safety and reduce labor risks; This utility model is operated by holding an upper and lower handle, which avoids direct contact between the operator's hands and the sharp thorns on the pepper branches, fundamentally reducing the possibility of hand scratches and effectively solving the problem of easy injury in traditional bare-handed harvesting, making the harvesting process safer and more comfortable.

[0017] 2. Improves harvesting efficiency and reduces labor intensity; This utility model utilizes the relative rotation of the upper and lower pressure rods to achieve the harvesting action, eliminating the need for manual, laborious harvesting of each peppercorn. Under the action of the connecting spring, the upper and lower fixing rings are in a separated state by default, facilitating the quick placement of peppercorns into the harvesting area. Simply grip the handle to complete the harvesting operation, significantly reducing the physical exertion of repetitive actions. It is especially suitable for harvesting large-scale peppercorn orchards, and can significantly improve harvesting efficiency.

[0018] 3. Multifunctional harvesting to meet diverse needs: This utility model is equipped with detachable shearing and detaching blades, which can be flexibly switched according to actual harvesting requirements. When harvesting peppercorns along with the fruit stem, the shearing blade can quickly cut off the stem; when only the fruit needs to be harvested, the detaching blade, using the gap between the fruit-splitting posts smaller than the diameter of the peppercorn fruit, allows the fruit to detach from the stem, meeting the needs of different harvesting scenarios and overcoming the shortcomings of traditional tools with limited functionality.

[0019] 4. Facilitates fruit collection and reduces resource waste; the conical collection bucket located below the lower fixing ring of this invention can directly catch fallen peppercorns or peppercorns and stems during harvesting, avoiding the problem of severe fruit drop in traditional harvesting. After a certain amount has been collected, the fruit can be removed by rotating the collection opening and closing ring, simplifying the collection process and reducing resource waste and subsequent cleanup workload.

[0028] 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.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, a portable handheld pepper harvesting device includes a lower pressure rod 100, a lower pressure handle 101, a fastening bolt 102, an upper fixing ring 103, an upper pressure rod 200, an upper pressure handle 201, a lower fixing ring 202, a collection bucket 203, a collection opening and closing ring 204, a connecting buckle one 205, a connecting spring 206, a connecting buckle two 207, and a blade structure.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a lower fixing ring 202 is fixedly installed at one end of the upper pressure rod 200. The lower fixing ring 202 is a hollow annular structure. The lower pressure rod 100 and the upper pressure rod 200 are hinged together by a rotating shaft. An upper fixing ring 103 is fixedly installed at the end of the lower pressure rod 100. A harvesting knife structure is detachably installed on the upper fixing ring 103. The knife structure and the upper fixing ring 103 cooperate to form a hollow annular structure that is compatible with the lower fixing ring 202. A connecting buckle 207 is rotatably installed on the lower pressure rod 100. The connecting buckle 207 is connected to the connecting buckle 1 205 through a connecting spring 206. The connecting buckle 1 205 is rotatably installed on the upper pressure rod 200. Connecting buckle 1 205, connecting spring 206, and connecting buckle 2 207 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the rotation shaft. A conical collection bucket 203 is fixedly installed below the lower fixing ring 202. The collection bucket 203 has a hollow interior and is made of plastic. It is used to collect peppercorns. A collection opening / closing ring 204 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the collection bucket 203 to open and close the internal channel. An upper pressing handle 201 made of rubber is fixedly installed at the other end of the upper pressing rod 200. The upper pressing handle 201 has anti-slip grooves protruding from its surface. A lower pressing handle 101 made of rubber is fixedly installed at the other end of the lower pressing rod 100. The lower pressing handle 101 also has anti-slip grooves protruding from its surface.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the blade structure is detachably mounted on the upper fixing ring 103 via fastening bolts 102. The fastening bolts 102 and the upper fixing ring 103 are connected by threads to achieve a detachable fit. The blade structure includes a shearing blade 302 and a dispersing blade 301. The dispersing blade 301 is equipped with multiple fruit-plucking columns for harvesting. These columns are arranged in a circular array at intervals along the center of the dispersing blade 301, with the gap between adjacent columns being smaller than the diameter of the pepper fruit. The shearing blade 302 has a cutting edge that intermittently contacts the lower fixing ring 202 to sever the pepper fruit stalk located between the cutting edge and the lower fixing ring 202.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the working principle of the portable handheld pepper harvesting device disclosed in this utility model is as follows:

[0033] According to harvesting needs, the shearing blade 302 or the evacuation blade 301 is installed on the upper fixing ring 103. Then, the operator holds the device in their hand. Under the action of the connecting spring 206, the upper fixing ring 103, the shearing blade 302 or the evacuation blade 301 are separated from the lower fixing ring 202. This is the default state. Figure 1 The state shown is the harvesting state of this device.

[0034] Harvesting Method 1: Harvest the pepper stalks along with the pepper fruits.

[0035] First, the shearing blade 302 is installed on the upper fixing ring 103. Then, the peppercorns growing on the pepper tree are placed between the upper fixing ring 103 and the lower fixing ring 202. The operator holds the upper pressure handle 201 and the lower pressure handle 101, causing the upper pressure rod 200 and the lower pressure rod 100 to rotate relative to each other. This causes the upper fixing ring 103 and the shearing blade 302 on the upper fixing ring 103 to move towards the lower fixing ring 202. Finally, the shearing blade 302 cuts off the peppercorns and their stems between the upper fixing ring 103 and the lower fixing ring 202. The peppercorns and stems fall into the collection bucket 203 under the action of gravity and are collected. When a certain amount of peppercorns and stems have been collected in the collection bucket 203, the operator rotates the collection opening and closing ring 204. The collection opening and closing ring 204 opens the bottom channel of the collection bucket 203, and the peppercorns and stems fall into other collection devices, completing the harvest.

[0036] Harvesting Mode 2 involves harvesting only the pepper fruits;

[0037] The dispersing blade 301 is installed on the upper fixing ring 103. Then, peppercorns growing on the pepper tree are placed between the upper fixing ring 103 and the lower fixing ring 202. The operator grips the upper and lower handles 201 and 101, causing the upper and lower levers 200 and 100 to rotate relative to each other. This moves the upper fixing ring 103 and the dispersing blade 301 on it towards the lower fixing ring 202, placing the peppercorn stalks within the gaps between the fruit-stripping columns on the dispersing blade 301. Since these gaps are smaller than the peppercorns themselves, the operator pulls the device, causing the peppercorns to detach from their stalks and fall into the collection bucket 203. Once a certain amount of peppercorns has been collected in the collection bucket 203, the operator rotates the collection opening and closing ring 204. This opens the bottom channel of the collection bucket 203, allowing the peppercorns to fall into other collection devices, completing the harvest.
