Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of citrus harvesting technology, and more specifically, to a citrus harvesting device for protecting citrus fruits. Background Technology

[0002] Citrus fruits belong to the Rutaceae family and the Citrus genus. They are not only delicious fruits but also rich in nutrients and have many health benefits. They are widely cultivated globally, especially in warm and humid regions. Citrus harvesting is an important part of agricultural production, affecting not only the quality and market value of the fruit but also the income of fruit growers. Manual harvesting is currently the main method of citrus harvesting, especially common in small-scale orchards with complex terrain. This method can ensure the quality of the fruit and reduce damage, but it is less efficient. Mechanical harvesting is suitable for large-scale orchards and can significantly improve harvesting efficiency, but it requires a high degree of terrain flatness and smoothness.

[0003] Most existing citrus harvesting devices are equipped with citrus support and sliding structures. When in use, the harvested citrus fruits slide through the sliding structure into the storage structure, protecting them from falling and damage. However, the sliding structure mainly restrains the citrus fruits from the side, which is not very effective in protecting against collisions between citrus fruits and rolling, easily causing damage to the peel, accelerating spoilage, and affecting quality.

[0004] In summary, in order to address the issues of easy collisions between citrus fruits and damage to the peel from long-distance rolling during citrus harvesting, the citrus harvesting device needs to enhance the positioning effect of the citrus fruits and reduce the possibility of collision damage during harvesting, moving, and storage. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention provides a citrus harvesting device for protecting citrus fruits. The problem to be solved is that in the use of existing citrus harvesting devices, the sliding structure such as the slide rails mostly restrains the citrus fruits from the side, which is not very effective in protecting against collisions between citrus fruits and the rolling of citrus fruits. This easily causes damage to the peel, accelerates spoilage, and affects the quality of the fruit.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a citrus harvesting device for protecting citrus fruits, comprising a movable platform, a support frame fixedly connected to the upper end of the movable platform, a rotating seat fixedly connected to the inner side of the support frame, a rotating frame rotatably connected to the outer side of the rotating seat, a transmission belt provided on the inner side of the rotating frame, an installation seat installed on the outer side of the transmission belt, a positioning plate for constraining citrus fruits installed on the outer side of the installation seat, a receiving groove provided on the inner side of the positioning plate, a limiting tube slidably connected to the outer side of the positioning plate, the limiting tube being a U-shaped tube, a discharge port provided at the lower end of the limiting tube, and a docking frame for docking citrus fruits installed at the upper end of the rear end of the limiting tube.
