[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery and equipment technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency fruit picking machine. Background Technology
[0002] Small and medium-sized orchards or individual farmers mainly rely on manual climbing or simple tools (such as hooks and pruning shears) to harvest fruit from trees, which is inefficient, labor-intensive, and poses safety hazards. Existing handheld electric fruit pickers are mostly single-pole devices with shears or rotating grippers at the end, offering limited efficiency improvement (picking only one fruit at a time) and potentially damaging the fruit and branches, making collection inconvenient. There is an urgent need for a handheld fruit picking tool that is simple in structure, low in cost, capable of continuous and efficient harvesting, minimizes damage, and facilitates collection. Therefore, we propose a high-efficiency fruit picking machine. Utility Model Content

[0012] To make the technical means, creative features, and achieved objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model is further described below with reference to specific embodiments. However, the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described herein without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model. Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods in the following embodiments are conventional methods, and the materials and reagents used in the following embodiments are commercially available unless otherwise specified.
[0013] Example 1:
[0014] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a high-efficiency fruit-picking machine includes an aluminum alloy telescopic rod 1 and a picking mechanism. The picking mechanism includes a main working plate 2 at the top of the aluminum alloy telescopic rod 1, two symmetrically arranged receiving rods 11 on the sides of the main working plate 2, the bottom ends of the two receiving rods 11 being fixedly set to the top of the aluminum alloy telescopic rod 1, a fruit-lowering opening 20 penetrating through the center point of the aluminum alloy telescopic rod 1, and a fruit-receiving bag 3 at the bottom of the aluminum alloy telescopic rod 1, the fruit-receiving bag 3 corresponding to the position of the fruit-lowering opening 20. A fixed picking roller 4 and a movable picking roller 40 are arranged at the top of the main working plate 2. The movable picking roller 40 is slidably connected to the aluminum alloy telescopic rod 1 and is equipped with an adjustment component. Both roller 4 and the movable picking roller 40 include two side plates 41, a small motor 42 and a nylon roller 43. The nylon roller 43 is located inside the two side plates 41, and the input wire of the small motor 42 is connected to a portable battery pack. The adjustment assembly includes a connecting slider 421, which is located on the bottom end face of the small motor 42. The top of the main working plate 2 is provided with a connecting groove 21, and the bottom of the connecting groove 21 is provided with three adjusting threaded grooves 22 at equal intervals. The bottom of the connecting slider 421 is provided with a positioning threaded groove 422, and the positioning threaded groove 422 and the inner side of the adjusting threaded groove 22 are threadedly connected to a positioning screw assembly 23. First, the operator adjusts the position of the movable picking roller 40 according to the size of the target fruit to set the distance between the fixed picking roller 40 and the movable picking roller 40. Then, the power is turned on, and the small motor 42 drives the two nylon rollers 43 to rotate relative to each other. The operator holds the device and aligns the fixed picking roller 40 and the movable picking roller 40 with the fruit branch where the fruit to be picked is located. The fruit branch enters between the two rotating fixed picking rollers 40 and the movable picking roller 40. The rotating flexible surface gently contacts and clamps the fruit, peeling the fruit off the fruit branch. The picked fruit enters the fruit collection bag 3 and is collected under the influence of gravity. It can continuously process multiple fruits on the same branch by rotating and "sweeping" them, effectively improving the efficiency of harvesting. It does not use any sharp objects such as blades, so it will not damage the fruit or the branch during the harvesting process. Compared with large fruit-picking machinery, this device can be completely handheld, making it convenient and flexible to use.
[0015] In other embodiments, this embodiment discloses, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the outer side of the nylon roller 43 is covered with a flexible layer with a thickness of 5 mm; the surface of the flexible layer is provided with hard stripes with a raised height of 1-5 mm; through this design, when the fruit branch is rolled between the two rollers, the rotating roller surface continuously pulls the fruit stem, so the surface of the flexible layer does not cause mechanical damage to the fruit when it comes into contact with the fruit, while the hard stripes can enhance the friction between the fruit and the branch. Under the influence of tension and gravity, the harvesting of the fruit is accelerated.
[0016] Example 2:
[0017] In other embodiments, this embodiment discloses, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a flow guiding mechanism, which includes a flow guiding net 33. The flow guiding net 33 is located at the outlet of the fruit receiving bag 3, and a hanging hole 34 is provided at the connection between the flow guiding net 33 and the fruit receiving bag 3. A connecting hook 32 is provided at the bottom of the fruit receiving bag 3. The flow guiding net 33 is hung on the outside of the connecting hook 32. The connecting hook 32 is arranged in a ring around the bottom of the fruit receiving bag 3, and the number of hanging holes 34 and connecting hooks 32 is the same. The corresponding container can be placed on the waist of the staff or on the ground. One end of the guide net 33 is connected to the container on the ground, and the other end is hooked to the connecting hook 32 through the hanging hole 34, so that the fruit collected in the fruit bag 3 can enter the prepared container. When needed, the collected fruit can be placed into a suitable container along the installed guide net. The structure of this mechanism is simple, with few failure points, and the collection is more intuitive.
[0018] In other embodiments, this embodiment discloses, please refer to Figure 5 As shown, the inner side of the fruit receiving bag 3 is provided with a silicone pad 31, the thickness of which is 5-8mm. This design ensures that the fruit will not be damaged by collision when it enters the fruit receiving bag 3, effectively protecting the fruit.
