Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of auxiliary harvesting devices, specifically referring to an auxiliary harvesting device for fruit cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] Fruit picking is an important part of agricultural production. Especially for fruits that grow high in the tree canopy, picking work often faces problems such as low efficiency, high labor intensity and high safety risks.

[0003] Currently, common methods for harvesting fruit from high places mainly include manual climbing, using simple fruit-picking poles, or using large-scale automated harvesting equipment. Manual climbing carries the risk of falling and is not very efficient. Simple fruit-picking poles (such as bagging poles or pruning poles) can extend the working range, but they generally have the defects of difficulty in positioning and unstable gripping, which can easily cause damage or drop of fruit. Large-scale automated equipment is expensive and difficult to apply to orchards with complex terrain or small-scale growers. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is that existing methods of harvesting fruit from heights have drawbacks such as the risk of falling due to manual climbing, unstable efficiency, and unreliable gripping, which can easily cause damage or loss of fruit, or the high cost of large-scale automated equipment.

[0005] To achieve the above functions, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a fruit planting auxiliary harvesting device, including a support rod, a connecting sleeve fixedly sleeved at the top of the support rod, and a connecting rod hinged to the outer wall of the connecting sleeve; a telescopic member is provided at the top of the support rod, and a connecting plate is provided at the top of the telescopic member; a pawl is connected to the top of the connecting rod via a shaft, and a bending plate is fixedly provided at the bottom of the pawl, the bending plate being hinged to the connecting plate; when the telescopic member extends or retracts, the bending plate can be rotated through the connecting plate, thereby driving the pawl to open and close around the top of the connecting rod, so as to achieve the clamping and release of the fruit.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom ends of the bending plate and the claw are arranged in an L-shape, and the claw is arc-shaped.

[0007] Preferably, the claws are arranged in three sets at equal angles with the axis of the support rod as the center line, and the inner sidewall of the claws is provided with a soft pad, which is fixed to the inner sidewall of the claw by an adhesive method.

[0008] Preferably, the pad is made of either food-grade silicone or natural rubber; the inner wall of the pad is integrally formed with anti-slip texture, which is a horizontal strip-shaped protrusion. The anti-slip texture is used to increase the friction between the claw and the fruit surface, improve the clamping stability, and prevent the fruit from slipping during picking.

[0009] Preferably, the telescopic component includes a sliding rod and a spring, the support rod has a hollow cavity structure, the sliding rod is slidably inserted into the top end of the support rod, and the top end of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to the connecting plate; the spring is sleeved on the sliding rod and located between the connecting plate and the connecting sleeve.

[0010] Preferably, a steel rope is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the slide rod, and the steel rope extends downward along the hollow cavity of the support rod to the bottom of the support rod; a sliding groove is provided at the bottom of the support rod, a sliding sleeve is slidably provided on the sliding groove, an extension plate passing through the sliding groove is provided on the inner side wall of the sliding sleeve, and the bottom end of the steel rope is fixed to the extension plate.

[0011] Preferably, an extension rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding sleeve. The extension rod is used by the user to hold and slide along the axial direction of the support rod, so as to control the raising and lowering of the sliding rod by means of the steel cable.

[0012] The beneficial effects achieved by adopting the above-described structure are as follows:

[0013] 1. This invention, through its extendable support structure and remotely controlled claws, enables operators to safely and stably pick fruits from high places without climbing, reducing labor intensity and safety hazards. Its simple structure and low manufacturing cost overcome the disadvantages of large automated equipment being bulky and expensive, making it suitable for widespread application in complex terrain or small-scale orchards.

[0014] 2. By setting three sets of equally spaced arc-shaped claws, and combining them with food-grade soft pads with anti-slip textures on the inner side of the claws, the contact area and friction with the fruit surface are increased, solving the problem of unstable gripping and easy slippage of simple tools.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the fruit planting and harvesting auxiliary device proposed in this utility model includes a support rod 1, a connecting sleeve 2 fixedly sleeved at the top of the support rod 1, and a connecting rod 3 hinged to the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 2; a telescopic member 4 is provided at the top of the support rod 1, and a connecting plate 5 is provided at the top of the telescopic member 4; a claw 6 is connected to the top of the connecting rod 3 via a shaft, and a bending plate 7 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the claw 6, which is hinged to the connecting plate 5; when the telescopic member 4 extends or retracts, it can drive the bending plate 7 to rotate through the connecting plate 5, thereby driving the claw 6 to open and close around the top of the connecting rod 3, so as to realize the clamping and release of the fruit.

[0025] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the bottom ends of the bending plate 7 and the claw 6 are arranged in an L-shape, and the claw 6 has an arc-shaped structure. The claw 6 is arranged in three sets at equal angles with the axis of the support rod 1 as the center line. The inner sidewall of the claw 6 is provided with a soft pad 8, which is fixed to the inner sidewall of the claw 6 by adhesive. The soft pad 8 is made of either food-grade silicone or natural rubber. The inner sidewall of the soft pad 8 is integrally formed with anti-slip texture 9, which is a horizontal strip-shaped protrusion. The anti-slip texture 9 is used to increase the friction between the claw 6 and the fruit surface, improve the clamping stability, and prevent the fruit from slipping during picking.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the telescopic component 4 includes a slide rod 10 and a spring 11. The support rod 1 has a hollow cavity structure. The slide rod 10 is slidably inserted into the top end of the support rod 1, and the top end of the slide rod 10 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 5. The spring 11 is sleeved on the slide rod 10 and is located between the connecting plate 5 and the connecting sleeve 2. The spring 11 provides an upward thrust in its natural state, so that the pawl 6 is in a normally open or specific opening state.

[0027] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figure 6, a steel rope 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the slide rod 10. The steel rope 12 extends downward along the hollow cavity of the support rod 1 to the bottom of the support rod 1. A slide groove 13 is provided at the bottom of the support rod 1. A sliding sleeve 14 is slidably provided on the slide groove 13. An extension plate 15 passing through the slide groove 13 is provided on the inner side wall of the sliding sleeve 14. The bottom end of the steel rope 12 is fixed on the extension plate 15.

[0028] like Figure 3-4 As shown, an extension rod 16 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 14. The extension rod 16 is used for the user to hold and slide along the axial direction of the support rod 1, so as to control the raising and lowering of the sliding rod 10 through the steel cable 12.

[0029] In actual use, the user holds the support rod 1, and the claws 6 are in the extended state under the action of the spring. At this time, align the claws with the fruit to be picked, and then pull the extension rod 16 by hand, so that the sliding sleeve 14 and the extension plate 15 slide down along the sliding groove 13. The extension plate 15 pulls the steel rope 12 down, and the steel rope 12 in turn overcomes the elastic force of the spring 11 and pulls the sliding rod 10 down. The sliding rod 10 drives the connecting plate 5 to move down. Through the leverage of the bending plate 7, the three claws 6 are forced to retract inward at the same time, so as to gently and firmly clamp the fruit.

[0030] At this time, the support rod 1 can be rotated or pulled down to break the fruit stem and complete the picking. When releasing the fruit, simply loosen the extension rod 16. Under the restoring force of the spring 11, the slide rod 10 moves upward, driving the connecting plate 5 to move upward, thereby causing the claw 6 to open outward and release the fruit. The whole operation process is labor-saving, controllable, and can effectively protect the fruit.

[0031] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
