Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural harvesting, and in particular relates to a citrus harvesting and collection device. Background Technology

[0002] The harvesting of citrus fruits is a highly anticipated part of the harvest for fruit growers, carrying not only the joy of a bountiful harvest but also serving as the best reward for their hard work. The methods and techniques used in harvesting citrus fruits directly affect the quality of the fruit and the health of the tree. Using appropriate harvesting techniques can reduce fruit loss and improve the fruit's storability and market competitiveness. Currently, the "one fruit, two cuts" method is widely used for harvesting citrus fruits. This method reduces fruit damage while promoting the subsequent growth of the tree. Specifically, "one fruit, two cuts" involves two steps: First, the first cut involves cutting the citrus fruit along with its stem, possibly including three leaves, and then pruning the top of the fruiting branch to promote its subsequent growth. Second, in the second cut, care must be taken to keep the stem intact and avoid damage, then the stem is cut horizontally to ensure a smooth and efficient harvesting process.

[0003] When using the "one fruit, two cuts" harvesting method, harvesters usually carry a basket diagonally across their shoulders to temporarily store the harvested citrus fruits. Once the basket is full, it is then transferred to a storage basket. This effectively avoids the high-intensity work of having to transfer the citrus fruits to the storage basket every time a harvester removes one. However, the diagonally carried basket not only has a limited capacity for storing citrus fruits, causing harvesters to still waste a lot of time transferring them, but it also carries the risk of the shoulder straps loosening, the basket tilting or swaying, causing the citrus fruits to fall. Therefore, a harvesting device that can increase storage capacity and is worn stably is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a citrus harvesting and collecting device that can increase the storage capacity of citrus fruits and prevent them from falling.

[0005] The citrus picking and collecting device includes a mounting plate, a cloth bag on the right side of the mounting plate, and a fixation component on the left side of the mounting plate for stably wearing the mounting plate on the chest and abdomen of the picker. The bottom of the cloth bag is fixed to the right side wall of the lower end of the mounting plate, and a ring rod is fixed to the top of the cloth bag to keep the bag opening open. A hook is fixed to the right side wall of the upper end of the mounting plate, and the ring rod is hung on the hook through a connecting component. Lifting components are installed at both the front and rear ends of the ring rod to facilitate the picker to empty the citrus from the cloth bag.

[0006] Furthermore, the positioning assembly includes a waist belt, a chest strap, and a neck strap. D-rings are connected to the upper and lower sides of the rear end of the mounting plate. One end of the waist belt is fixed to the front side of the lower end of the mounting plate, and the other end passes through the lower D-ring and is glued to itself. One end of the chest strap is fixed to the front side of the upper end of the mounting plate, and the other end passes through the upper D-ring and is glued to itself. The two ends of the neck strap are fixed to the front and rear sides of the top of the mounting plate, respectively.

[0007] Furthermore, a soft pad is fixed to the left side wall of the mounting plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper end of the bag is open, and the lower end is closed.

[0009] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes a first sleeve fixedly fitted onto the left end of the annular rod. A limiting rod is provided on the upper left side of the first sleeve. Both ends of the limiting rod are fixedly connected to the first sleeve via connecting rods. The limiting rod is hung inside the hook.

[0010] Furthermore, handles are fixed to both ends of the limiting rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a pull rope, with a second sleeve fixed to both ends of the pull rope, and the two second sleeves are fixedly fitted onto the ring rod.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention utilizes a fixing component to allow pickers of different body types to wear the mounting plate, ensuring it fits snugly against their chest and abdomen. This improves the stability of the mounting plate and reduces swaying. The cloth bag, secured to the bottom of the mounting plate with a drawstring closure and its opening hanging from the top, can hold more citrus fruits than a basket, reducing the frequency of pickers moving back and forth to the storage basket and thus increasing the efficiency of citrus harvesting. Furthermore, due to the high stability of the mounting plate, the bag sways less, making it less likely for the citrus fruits to fall. The hanging method, combined with a lifting component, allows pickers to easily transfer the citrus fruits from the bag to the storage basket without removing the mounting plate, thereby reducing the workload of transporting the citrus fruits.

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0015] Example 1 The citrus harvesting and collecting device described in this embodiment includes a mounting plate 3, and a cloth bag 1 is provided on the right side of the mounting plate 3, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting plate 3 has an arc-shaped structure, which conforms to ergonomics and provides a better fit and comfort when worn on the chest and abdomen of the harvester. refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The mounting plate 3 has a waist belt 2, a chest strap 5, and a neck strap 6 on its left side. Both the upper and lower rear ends of the mounting plate 3 are connected to D-ring buckles 14. One end of the waist belt 2 is fixed to the front of the lower end of the mounting plate 3, and the other end passes through the lower D-ring buckle 14 and is glued to itself. One end of the chest strap 5 is fixed to the front of the upper end of the mounting plate 3, and the other end passes through the upper D-ring buckle 14 and is glued to itself. The two ends of the neck strap 6 are respectively fixed to the front and rear of the top of the mounting plate 3. (The waist belt 2, chest strap 5, neck strap 6, and D-ring buckle 14 in this paragraph constitute the fixation assembly for stably wearing the mounting plate 3 on the chest and abdomen of the harvester. In practical application, the fixation...) The components can also be a waist belt 2 and two shoulder straps (the two shoulder straps are fixed to the front and back sides of the upper end of the mounting plate 3, respectively). In this embodiment, the adjustable waist belt 2, chest strap 5, and neck strap 6 allow pickers of different body types to wear the mounting plate 3, and keep the mounting plate 3 close to the chest and abdomen, reducing the swaying amplitude of the mounting plate 3 and preventing the citrus fruits in the cloth bag 1 from falling out. The waist belt 2 and chest strap 5 are fixed to themselves by Velcro (including female and female Velcro), and the two D-ring buckles 14 are connected to the mounting plate 3 by connecting straps. In practical applications, the waist belt 2, chest strap 5, and neck strap 6 are all covered with flexible pads to avoid marks or abrasions caused by prolonged wear. In practical application, the left side wall of the mounting plate 3 is fixed with a soft pad. The soft pad can reduce the pressure of the mounting plate 3 on the chest and abdomen of the harvester, thereby improving comfort. The bottom of the cloth bag 1 is fixed to the right side wall at the lower end of the mounting plate 3, and the top of the cloth bag 1 is fixed with a ring rod 9 for keeping the bag opening open, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper end of the cloth bag 1 is open, and the lower end is tied and fixed to the lower end of the mounting plate 3. The whole bag is located in front of the chest and abdomen of the picker, so it can have more space to store citrus fruits compared to a basket that is slung across the body. This can effectively reduce the frequency of the picker going back and forth to the storage basket, thereby speeding up the efficiency of citrus picking. At the same time, the ring rod 9 keeps the opening of the cloth bag 1 open at all times, making it convenient for the picker to store the citrus fruits. refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A hook 10 is fixed to the right side wall of the upper end of the mounting plate 3. A first sleeve 4 is fixedly fitted to the left end of the ring rod 9. A limiting rod 11 is provided on the upper left side of the first sleeve 4. Both the front and rear ends of the limiting rod 11 are fixedly connected to the first sleeve 4 through a connecting rod 12. The limiting rod 11 is hung inside the hook 10 (the first sleeve 4, the limiting rod 11, and the connecting rod 12 in this paragraph constitute the connecting assembly for hanging the ring rod 9 on the hook 10). In this embodiment, the connecting assembly composed of the first sleeve 4, the limiting rod 11, and the connecting rod 12 can hang the left end of the ring rod 9 on the hook 10, thereby supporting the cloth bag 1. When transferring citrus, the citrus in the cloth bag 1 can be transferred to the storage basket without removing the mounting plate 3, thereby reducing the workload of the pickers in transferring citrus. The inner side of the hook 10 is higher on the left and lower on the right, which can effectively prevent the limiting rod 11 from moving to the left in its natural state. refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 Both ends of the ring rod 9 are equipped with pull ropes 7, and each pull rope 7 has a second sleeve 8 fixed to both ends. All second sleeves 8 are fixedly fitted onto the ring rod 9 (the pull ropes 7 and the second sleeves 8 in this section constitute the lifting assembly that facilitates the pouring of citrus fruits into the cloth bag 1 by the picker). In this embodiment, the pull ropes 7 can pull the opening of the cloth bag 1 to move, thereby removing the opening of the cloth bag 1 from the hook 10 and transferring the citrus fruits out of the cloth bag 1. This is more convenient and less strenuous than holding the ring rod 9, and can effectively prevent slippage. In practical applications, the pull ropes 7 are also covered with foam pads.

[0016] In this embodiment, the neck strap 6 is first hung around the neck and the mounting plate 3 is attached to the chest and abdomen. Then, the waist belt 2 and chest strap 5 are fixed so that the mounting plate 3 is attached to the chest and abdomen to a degree that does not easily shift (passing through the corresponding D-ring buckle 14 and fixed with Velcro). Then, the citrus fruits can be picked using tools such as clamps. The picked citrus fruits are gently placed in the cloth bag 1. After the cloth bag 1 is full or reaches a certain load-bearing capacity of the picker, it can be moved to the storage basket. At this time, the picker lifts the pull rope 7 with both hands to disengage the connecting component from the hook 10, and then bends down to slowly pour the citrus fruits in the cloth bag 1 into the storage basket. This process is repeated to complete the picking and collection of citrus fruits.

[0017] Example 2 This embodiment further illustrates the technology, wherein handles 13 are fixed to both ends of the limiting rod 11, such as... Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting component can also be detached from the hook 10 by means of the handles 13 fixed to the front and rear ends of the limiting rod 11. Since the handles 13 are directly fixed to the connecting component, the connecting component can be detached from the hook 10 with the assistance of others when there are many citrus fruits in the bag 1 or when the picker is tired (it is inconvenient for the person to exert force and move the bag opening of the bag 1).
