Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thin-shelled pecan harvesting, specifically a harvesting device for thin-shelled pecans. Background Technology

[0002] The pecan harvesting device is a mechanical device specifically designed for harvesting pecan fruits. Its development aims to improve harvesting efficiency, reduce damage to the fruit and trees, and adapt to trees of different sizes and shapes, increasing its versatility. This device and method have broad application prospects in agriculture, especially in pecan-growing areas, as they can not only improve production efficiency and reduce labor requirements but also reduce safety risks during the harvesting process.

[0003] Currently, the vast majority of thin-shelled pecan harvesting methods involve manually tapping the pecans with bamboo poles or wooden sticks to knock them down. This method requires precise control of the force and placement of the tap. Excessive force or incorrect placement can break branches and shatter the pecans, impacting the next harvest and causing economic losses for farmers. Furthermore, relying on manual tapping pecans means that the pecans will fall to the ground and need to be picked up one by one, which is inconvenient and requires significant manual labor. Therefore, we need to propose a harvesting device for thin-shelled pecans. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a harvesting device for thin-shelled pecans, which has the advantages of not breaking the branches of thin-shelled pecan trees and reducing labor costs, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
