Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit tree picking clip technology, specifically a portable fruit tree picking clip. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, portable fruit-picking clips are handheld tools designed specifically for orchard harvesting, solving the problems of difficulty in picking fruits from high places, low efficiency of manual climbing, and easy damage to fruit trees / fruits.

[0003] Existing portable fruit-picking clips generally have shortcomings in fruit collection functionality. Specifically, most products only have the function of cutting or clamping fruit, without a corresponding collection structure. As a result, after the fruit is cut or clamped, it can only fall directly from a height to the ground. However, the orchard ground is often covered with gravel, weeds, and other debris. When the fruit falls from the picking height (usually 1-2.5m), it is easily damaged by impact with the ground, such as skin bruising and flesh dents. This damage rate is even higher for fruits with brittle skins, such as apples and pears. This single "picking-falling" operation mode not only increases the cost of fruit loss, but also requires workers to bend over to pick up fallen fruit, reducing overall picking efficiency and failing to meet the orchard's demand for efficient and low-loss operations. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a portable fruit-picking clip for fruit trees.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a portable fruit-picking clip, comprising a frame, a cylinder, a connecting mechanism, and a cutting mechanism. The cylinder is connected to the inner wall of the frame via the connecting mechanism. The connecting mechanism includes a groove, a slider, a sliding component, a fixing plate, and bolts. The groove is formed in the inner wall of the frame. One end of the slider is connected to the outer wall of the cylinder, and the other end of the slider extends into the groove. The sliding component is disposed on the outer wall of the frame. The fixing plate is disposed on the outer wall of the cylinder. The fixing plate and the sliding component are connected by bolts. There are two connecting mechanisms. The cutting mechanism includes an electric push rod, a connecting plate, and a cutting blade. One end of the electric push rod is connected to the outer wall of the frame, and the other end of the electric push rod is connected to the connecting plate. The cutting blade is disposed on the connecting plate. There are two cutting mechanisms. A handle is provided on the outer wall of the frame. A control button is provided on the handle. The control button is electrically connected to the sliding component and the electric push rod.

[0006] To improve the anti-slip effect, the present invention is improved by providing an anti-slip layer on the outer wall of the handle, and the anti-slip layer is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the handle.

[0007] To improve the connection effect, the present invention is improved by welding the handle to the outer wall of the frame.

[0008] To improve stability, this invention is improved by matching the groove with the slider.

[0009] To improve stability, this utility model is improved by symmetrically arranging the two connecting mechanisms and the two cutting mechanisms.

[0010] To improve the strength of the cutting blade, this utility model has an improvement: the cutting blade is made of alloy steel.

[0011] (III) Beneficial Effects Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a portable fruit-picking clip for fruit trees, which has the following beneficial effects: This portable fruit-picking clip, through its targeted design, effectively solves the problems of inconvenient collection, insufficient stability, and unsatisfactory operation of existing fruit-picking clips, comprehensively improving practicality and reliability. Firstly, the core cylindrical structure, combined with the external collection bag fixing design, allows the cut fruit to slide along the inner wall of the cylinder into the collection bag, avoiding skin bruising and pulp damage caused by direct drop to the ground, significantly reducing fruit loss rate. Two symmetrically arranged connecting mechanisms, through the precise matching of sliding grooves and sliders, achieve stable micro-adjustment of the cylinder within the frame, ensuring that the fruit is accurately aligned with the cylinder opening, improving picking accuracy. Secondly, two symmetrically distributed cutting mechanisms, driven by electric push rods, synchronously move alloy steel cutting blades, which can quickly cut the fruit stem with a clean cut, reducing pulling damage to branches. At the same time, the alloy steel material ensures high strength and corrosion resistance of the cutting blades, extending the tool's service life. In addition, the anti-slip layer on the outer wall of the handle increases grip friction, and the welded connection between the handle and the frame ensures no loosening during operation, adapting to the humid environment of the orchard and the needs of long-term operation, providing comprehensive support for efficient and safe picking.

[0013] 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.

[0014] Please see Figure 1-4 A portable fruit-picking clip includes a frame 1, a cylinder 2, a connecting mechanism 3, and a cutting mechanism 10. The cylinder 2 is connected to the inner wall of the frame 1 via the connecting mechanism 3. The connecting mechanism 3 includes a groove 4, a slider 5, a sliding assembly 6, a fixing plate 7, and a bolt 8. The groove 4 is formed in the inner wall of the frame 1. One end of the slider 5 is connected to the outer wall of the cylinder 2, and the other end of the slider 5 extends into the groove 4. The sliding assembly 6 is disposed on the outer wall of the frame 1, and the fixing plate 7 is disposed on the outer wall of the cylinder 2. The fixing plate 7 and the sliding assembly 6 are connected by a connecting mechanism 10. The bolts 8 are used for connection. There are two connecting mechanisms 3. The cutting mechanism 10 includes an electric push rod 11, a connecting plate 12, and a cutting blade 13. One end of the electric push rod 11 is connected to the outer wall of the frame 1, and the other end of the electric push rod 11 is connected to the connecting plate 12. The cutting blade 13 is disposed on the connecting plate 12. There are two cutting mechanisms 10. The outer wall of the frame 1 is provided with a handle 14. The handle 14 is provided with a control button 9. The control button 9 is electrically connected to the sliding component 6 and the electric push rod 11.

[0015] Working principle like Figure 1 As shown, the specific operating procedures and component maintenance steps of this portable fruit tree picking clip are as follows: During the fruit picking stage, the staff first needs to fix the outer collection bag to the top of the cylinder 2. It is recommended to put the edge of the opening of the collection bag over the outer wall of the top of the cylinder 2, and then tie it with a rope 2-3 times around the outer wall of the cylinder 2 to ensure that the collection bag is firmly fixed and not loose, so as to prevent the collection bag from shifting when the fruit falls. Then, the staff holds the handle 14 with one hand, aligns the cutting blade 13 of the cutting mechanism 10 on the frame 1 with the stem of the fruit to be picked, and activates the sliding component 6 by pressing the control button 9 on the handle 14. The sliding component 6 will drive the fixed plate 7 connected to it to move. The fixed plate 7 will further drive the cylinder 2 to make a fine adjustment of its position on the inner wall of the frame 1. During this process, the slider 5 on the outer wall of the cylinder 2 will slide smoothly along the sliding groove 4 on the inner wall of the frame 1 until the top opening of the cylinder 2 is aligned with the bottom of the fruit (note: the diameter of the fruit to be picked must not exceed the diameter of the inner wall of the cylinder 2 to prevent the fruit from getting stuck in the cylinder 2 and unable to fall). After the position adjustment is completed, the staff simultaneously activates two symmetrically arranged electric push rods 11 using the same control button 9. The electric push rods 11 push the connecting plate 12 to move towards the fruit stem, causing the alloy steel cutting blades 13 on the connecting plate 12 to come closer together and cut the fruit stem. The cut fruit will slide down the inner wall of the cylinder 2 and fall directly into the collection bag fixed below, thus completing a single harvesting operation (the specific driving details of the sliding component 6, such as the coordination logic of the guide groove and guide block, will not be elaborated here). When cylinder 2 needs to be replaced due to wear, deformation, or other damage caused by long-term use, refer to [the relevant regulations]. Figure 1 The structure shown is as follows: The operator uses an external screwdriver to unscrew the bolts 8 connecting the fixing plate 7 and the sliding component 6. Then, holding the outer wall of the cylinder 2 with both hands, the operator slowly pulls it downwards, causing the slider 5 on the cylinder 2 to completely disengage from the groove 4 of the frame 1. Simultaneously, the fixing plate 7 separates from the sliding component 6, allowing the old cylinder 2 to be disassembled. The new cylinder 2 can be purchased from the manufacturer. Its installation steps are standard procedures in this technical field, and those skilled in the art can complete the assembly by reversing the disassembly process. Specific details are not provided here. However, it is crucial to note that during daily use, when adjusting the position of the cylinder 2 via the sliding component 6, the movement distance must be controlled within a reasonable range to avoid collisions between the fixing plate 7 and the bottom wall of the frame 1, which could damage the components. This structure includes a power cord, which is long enough to supply power to the structure by connecting it to an external AC power source.

[0016] To improve the grip stability of the tool and prevent slippage caused by sweaty hands or the damp environment of the orchard, this embodiment specifically adds an anti-slip layer to the outer wall of the handle 14, and clarifies its connection method and design logic. The anti-slip layer is made of high-elasticity rubber with diamond-shaped anti-slip patterns (pattern depth 0.8-1mm) pressed on the surface. This increases the friction between the hand and the handle 14 and improves grip comfort through the softness of the rubber, alleviating hand fatigue caused by prolonged picking. At the same time, the anti-slip layer is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the handle 14 with high-strength adhesive (bonding strength ≥2MPa), and the anti-slip layer covers the entire grip area of ​​the outer wall of the handle 14 (length 10-12cm), ensuring no exposed areas and further guaranteeing the stability of the anti-slip effect. This design is particularly suitable for the complex outdoor environment of orchard picking, providing support for workers to operate safely and efficiently.

[0017] To ensure a firm connection between the handle 14 and the frame 1 and to stably withstand external forces during harvesting (such as gripping force and fruit weight transmission), this embodiment explicitly adopts welding to achieve a fixed connection between the two. Before welding, the welding area on the outer wall of the frame 1 (corresponding to the connecting end of the handle 14) needs to be derusted and ground to remove the surface oxide layer and impurities, ensuring a clean welding surface. During welding, an arc welding process is used to fully weld one end of the handle 14 to the outer wall of the frame 1. The weld height is not less than 3mm and the length covers the entire contact surface of the connecting end of the handle 14, avoiding incomplete welding or missing welds. After welding, the weld seam needs to be ground smooth to prevent sharp weld seams from scratching the hands. Compared with bolt connections, this welding structure can significantly improve the connection strength and stability, preventing the handle 14 from loosening or falling off during long-term use, and providing reliable protection for the safe operation of workers.

[0018] To ensure that the cylinder 2 can move smoothly along the inner wall of the frame 1 and avoid jamming or deviation during adjustment, this embodiment is specifically designed with a structure in which "the groove 4 and the slider 5 are matched" to improve the overall adjustment stability. In terms of size matching, the width and depth of the groove 4 correspond precisely to the width and thickness of the slider 5, with the gap controlled at 0.1-0.2mm. This ensures that the slider 5 can slide flexibly within the groove 4 while preventing the cylinder 2 from shaking due to excessive gap. In terms of structural matching, the groove 4 adopts a "U-shaped" groove design, and the slider 5 has a corresponding "T-shaped" structure. This effectively limits the displacement of the slider 5 perpendicular to the groove, preventing the slider 5 from coming out of the groove 4 during adjustment. This matching design is the core guarantee for the cylinder 2 to achieve precise micro-adjustment, ensuring that the cutting mechanism aligns with the fruit stem and the fruit enters the cylinder 2 smoothly, providing support for the stability of the harvesting operation.

[0019] To improve the overall stability and operational precision of the tool from a structural perspective, this embodiment explicitly adopts a symmetrical arrangement for the two connecting mechanisms 3 and the two cutting mechanisms 10. The two connecting mechanisms 3 are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the frame 1 with the vertical central axis of the frame 1 as the line of symmetry, and their connection points with the outer wall of the cylinder 2 are at the same horizontal height, ensuring that the cylinder 2 is subjected to balanced force and avoiding tilting or jamming due to force on one side during adjustment. The two cutting mechanisms 10 are also symmetrically distributed along the central axis of the frame 1, and the installation height of their electric push rods 11 and the orientation of their cutting blades 13 are completely consistent, which can ensure that the force applied on both sides is synchronized when cutting the fruit stem and that the cut is flat, preventing the fruit from shifting or the branches from being damaged due to excessive force on one side. This symmetrical design allows the various mechanisms to work together more stably, providing structural support for efficient and safe harvesting.

[0020] To ensure that the cutting blade 13 can stably cut fruit stems of different thicknesses (especially suitable for fruit stems with larger diameters), and to extend its service life and avoid frequent replacements, this embodiment specifically selects alloy steel as the material for the cutting blade 13. This alloy steel material has both high strength and high toughness, with a tensile strength ≥800MPa and a hardness ≥HRC55. It can easily cut fruit stems without easily chipping or deforming the blade, and it can also resist corrosion in the humid environment of the orchard, reducing material loss. In addition, the blade of the alloy steel cutting blade 13 is finely polished, and the sharpness of the blade edge can be maintained stably for a long time without frequent sharpening and maintenance. This further adapts to the needs of efficient harvesting in orchards, providing a core guarantee for the stable operation of the cutting mechanism 10 from the material level.
