Detailed Implementation

[0015] To achieve the above objectives and effects, the technical means and structure adopted by this utility model are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, focusing on the features and functions of the preferred embodiments of this utility model.

[0016] Example 1

[0017] As attached Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a device for harvesting Cordyceps sinensis, comprising: The device includes a shovel head 1 and a handle 3. The shovel head 1 is made of stainless steel and has a U-shaped cross-section. The opening width of the U-shaped shovel head 1 is 5-8cm, and the depth is 3-5cm, forming a natural guiding and protective space. During digging, it can accurately position and wrap around both sides of the cordyceps sinensis, preventing the cordyceps sinensis from slipping off the sides of the shovel head 1. The end of the shovel head 1 away from the handle 3 has an arc-shaped blade with a radius of 1-2cm and a blade thickness of 0.5-1mm, ensuring smooth entry into the soil while preventing damage due to an excessively thin blade. Sliding rods 2 are welded to both sides of the shovel head 1. The length of the sliding rods 2 is 15-20cm, and the sliding rods 2 are set along the length direction of the shovel head 1.

[0018] The handle 3 is made of high-strength plastic material and is 30-40cm in length. Two connecting rods 10 are fixed to one end of the handle 3. The two connecting rods 10 correspond one-to-one with the two sliding rods 2. A sleeve 4 is welded to the end of each connecting rod 10. The sleeve 4 matches the sliding rod 2 and can slide freely along the sliding rod 2. A threaded hole is opened on the side wall of the sleeve 4. A fastening screw 5 is screwed into the threaded hole. A rubber pad is provided at the end of the fastening screw 5. When the fastening screw 5 is tightened, the rubber pad is in close contact with the sliding rod 2, thereby fixing the sleeve 4 to the sliding rod 2 and preventing the sleeve 4 from sliding during the digging process.

[0019] In actual use, the harvester holds handle 3, aligns the opening of the shovel head 1 with the stroma of the Cordyceps sinensis, and inserts it vertically into the soil. Due to the soil-dividing effect of the U-shaped structure, the soil is pushed to both sides, while the Cordyceps sinensis is protected in the center. It can be easily pried out along with the original soil around the roots. Before harvesting, the harvester can measure the height of the stroma above the ground, then slide the sleeve 4 to the corresponding mark and lock it. When the sleeve 4 touches the ground, it indicates that the preset depth has been reached, effectively preventing over-digging and limiting underground disturbance to the minimum necessary range, protecting the mycelial network and meadow root system, while also saving the physical effort and time spent harvesting each Cordyceps sinensis.

[0020] Specifically, the slide bar 2 is engraved with scale lines with an accuracy of 1mm, which facilitates precise adjustment of the position of the sleeve 4.

[0021] In this embodiment, a vibration motor is fixed inside the shovel head 1 by bolts. The vibration motor is a miniature DC vibration motor. A switch 6 and a power supply are provided in the middle of the handle 3. The power supply is a rechargeable lithium battery. The power supply, switch 6 and vibration motor are connected in series by wires. The wires are hidden inside the handle 3 and connecting rod 10 to avoid damage to the wires during use.

[0022] When encountering hard frozen soil during excavation, the excavator can turn on switch 6 to start the vibration motor. After starting, the high-frequency micro-vibration softens the frozen soil around the shovel head 1, allowing the shovel head 1 to easily cut into the soil with minimal thrust, greatly saving physical strength.

[0023] Specifically, a silicone handle sleeve 7 is fitted onto the handle 3. The handle sleeve 7 is 3-5mm thick and has anti-slip texture on its surface. Multiple first telescopic rods 8 are evenly distributed between the handle sleeve 7 and the handle 3. The first telescopic rods 8 are arranged radially along the handle 3. Each first telescopic rod 8 is fitted with a spring. The two ends of the spring are respectively bonded and fixed to the handle 3 and the handle sleeve 7 to achieve shock absorption.

[0024] In this embodiment, the end of the shovel head 1 near the handle 3 is connected to a second telescopic rod 9. The second telescopic rod 9 is a multi-stage telescopic rod made of stainless steel. The other end of the second telescopic rod 9 is connected to the middle of the handle 3 via a hinge. Locking devices are provided at the connection points of the second telescopic rod 9 with the handle 3 and the shovel head 1, so that the second telescopic rod 9 can be fixed after the length is adjusted.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the cross-section of the shovel head 1 is V-shaped, which is suitable for scenarios where Cordyceps sinensis grows deep; the end of the shovel head 1 away from the handle 3 is a serrated blade with 5-8 teeth, each tooth being 2-3mm high and 3-4mm apart, which facilitates cutting grass roots in the soil and improves soil penetration efficiency.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and not all embodiments. Anyone should know that structural changes made under the guidance of the present utility model are protected by the present utility model. All technical solutions that are the same as or similar to the present utility model are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
