[0002] As a widely cultivated edible fungus, enoki mushroom cultivation has reached a large-scale development stage. In the complete production process of enoki mushrooms, the harvesting stage is a key node connecting the cultivation stage with subsequent processing and sales, directly affecting overall production efficiency and product quality stability. There is a clear technical demand within the industry for efficient harvesting methods and related equipment suitable for large-scale cultivation.

[0003] Currently, the harvesting of enoki mushrooms mainly relies on manual labor. The limitation of this operation mode is that manual harvesting is limited by the intensity and pace of human labor, making it difficult to adapt to the efficiency requirements of large-scale planting scenarios. This leads to efficiency bottlenecks in the overall production process during the harvesting stage, thus hindering the standardization and high-efficiency development of the enoki mushroom cultivation industry. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned technical deficiencies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a harvesting device for enoki mushroom cultivation, so as to solve the problem of low efficiency caused by manual harvesting of enoki mushrooms in the prior art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The present invention provides a harvesting device for enoki mushroom cultivation, comprising: a cylinder fixed on a mechanical arm, a bracket fixed on the output shaft of the cylinder, and a plurality of harvesting cylinders provided on the bracket; wherein, a plurality of clamping plates are rotatably connected to the harvesting cylinders, the clamping plates having arc openings that approach each other, and the clamping plates being driven by a motor to rotate on the harvesting cylinders, thereby closing the arc openings to form a clamping opening for clamping and harvesting the enoki mushrooms in the harvesting cylinders.

[0006] Optionally, the motor is fixed on the bracket, and a gear is fixed on the output shaft of the motor. The gear is rotatably mounted on the bracket, and the collection cylinder is provided with several toothed rings that mesh with the gear. When the toothed rings rotate, they drive the clamping plate to rotate.

[0007] Optionally, a top plate is fixed on the collection tube, a plurality of limiting shafts are fixed on the top plate, a plurality of limiting grooves are opened on the toothed ring, and the limiting shafts are slidably disposed in the limiting grooves.

[0008] Optionally, a fixing ring is fixed on the collection tube, and the clamping plate is rotatably connected to the fixing ring and the toothed ring respectively.

[0009] Optionally, a plurality of convex shafts located next to the limiting groove are fixed on the toothed ring, and a connecting rod is rotatably connected to the convex shaft. The other end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the clamping plate, and the clamping plate is rotatably connected to the fixed ring through a plug shaft.

[0010] Optionally, the card plate is arranged in a fan shape, the arc opening is located on the inner diameter of the card plate, and a first connection point and a second connection point are respectively provided at both ends of the outer diameter of the card plate. The first connection point is rotatably connected to the connecting rod, and the second connection point is rotatably connected to the insert shaft.

[0011] Optionally, it also includes a collection tube, which is fixed to the retaining ring.

[0012] Optionally, it also includes an abutment component disposed on the side of the collection tube away from the cylinder.

[0013] Optionally, the collection tube has several cavities, and the abutment assembly includes a guide rod slidably disposed in the cavity, with an abutment ring fixed at the end of the guide rod away from the collection tube.

[0014] Optionally, a guide ring is fixed on the collection tube, the guide ring is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod, and a spring is also sleeved on the outside of the guide rod, with the two ends of the spring abutting against the guide ring and the collection tube respectively.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention utilizes the coordinated operation of a robotic arm and a cylinder. The cylinder connects to a support frame, which integrates multiple harvesting cylinders. With the robotic arm's flexible positioning and the cylinder's precise drive, the harvesting cylinders can simultaneously approach multiple enoki mushroom cultivation cylinders, enabling synchronized harvesting of enoki mushrooms from multiple cultivation cylinders. This effectively reduces the time wasted harvesting from a single cylinder, shortens the harvesting cycle, and significantly improves overall harvesting efficiency in large-scale cultivation scenarios.

[0016] Meanwhile, the harvesting tube of this invention is equipped with multiple rotatable clamping plates, each with its own closely spaced arc-shaped openings. These openings conform to the natural shape of the enoki mushroom bundles, reducing mechanical damage to the stems during clamping and ensuring the integrity and commercial quality of the harvested enoki mushrooms. These clamping plates are driven by a drive structure to rotate synchronously and close together, precisely forming a stable harvesting opening. This ensures even clamping of the enoki mushroom bundles, preventing them from falling off due to excessive looseness or breaking due to excessive tightness. No manual adjustment of the clamping force is required, improving harvesting efficiency while reducing product loss during the harvesting process.

[0017] Furthermore, the collection tube of this invention is equipped with a top plate, on which a fixing ring and a toothed ring are integrated. The two ends of the clamping plate are rotatably connected between the fixing ring and the toothed ring, forming a stable linkage structure. By driving the gears with a motor and engaging the toothed ring transmission, the rotation angle of the toothed ring can be precisely controlled, thereby adjusting the size of the picking opening on the clamping plate. This allows the picking opening to accommodate enoki mushrooms of different bundle thicknesses, providing a suitable clamping space for both thinner, early-stage growth bundles and thicker, more vigorous growth bundles. This solves the problems of fixed picking opening size and poor adaptability of traditional tools, improving the equipment's versatility and reducing time and cost losses due to tooling changes.

[0018] In summary, this invention integrates a robotic arm, cylinder drive, motor transmission, and adjustable clamping structure to construct a complete automated enoki mushroom harvesting system, replacing traditional manual harvesting with mechanized and automated equipment. This system not only eliminates the dependence on manpower, working hours, and skill levels, reducing labor costs, but also avoids the problem of inconsistent harvesting quality caused by variations in human operation, supporting continuous operation around the clock. Furthermore, it seamlessly integrates with subsequent sorting, cleaning, and packaging processes, laying the foundation for a fully automated production line from cultivation to processing in the enoki mushroom cultivation industry, and promoting the industry's upgrade towards standardization and efficiency.

[0028] 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.

[0029] As mentioned earlier, the harvesting of enoki mushrooms currently relies mainly on manual labor. The limitation of this operation mode is that manual harvesting is limited by the intensity and pace of human labor, making it difficult to adapt to the efficiency requirements of large-scale planting scenarios. This leads to efficiency bottlenecks in the overall production process during the harvesting stage, thus hindering the standardized and efficient development of the enoki mushroom cultivation industry.

[0030] To address this issue, this utility model provides a harvesting device for enoki mushroom cultivation. Utilizing highly efficient automated equipment and the interconnectedness of its structures, it replaces manual harvesting of enoki mushrooms, thereby significantly improving harvesting efficiency. This utility model solves the problem in the following ways.

[0031] Example 1: Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a harvesting device for enoki mushroom cultivation. The device includes a robotic arm with a cylinder 1 mounted on it. A device such as... is fixed on the cylinder 1. Figure 1 The bracket 2 shown is provided with a boss connected to the cylinder 1, and a first plate and a second plate fixed below the boss (for ease of description, referred to as...). Figure 1The cylinder 1 is located above the support 2, and correspondingly, it has a lower section. Therefore, the positional relationship between the cylinder 1 and the support 2 from top to bottom is cylinder 1, boss, first plate, and second plate. However, this orientation is only established for the convenience of understanding this technical solution and is a preferred embodiment of this utility model. Therefore, it cannot be interpreted as a limitation of this utility model. The second plate has several through holes, and a collection tube 3 is fixedly connected to each through hole.

[0032] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the collecting cylinder 3 is a cylindrical structure that runs vertically through the shaft. Its interior is used to hold and harvest bundles of enoki mushrooms. A top plate 34 is fixed to the top of the collecting cylinder 3, and a fixing ring 35 is also fixed to the top plate 34. There is a first gap between the fixing ring 35 and the top plate 34. The collecting cylinder 3, the top plate 34, and the fixing ring 35 all share the same axis. Within this first gap, a toothed ring 32 is rotatably connected to the top plate 34. Several protruding shafts 322 are fixed to the toothed ring 32, and a connecting rod 33 is rotatably connected to each protruding shaft 322. The connecting rod 33 is arc-shaped, and a clamping plate 31 is rotatably connected to the end away from the protruding shaft 322. All the clamping plates 31 are gathered together to form a disc-shaped structure.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the gear ring 32 has several limiting grooves 321, and at the same time, the top plate 34 is also fixed with several limiting shafts 341, which are slidably connected within the limiting grooves 321. By rotating the gear ring 32, the limiting shafts 341 move from one end of the limiting groove 321 to the other end (relative rotation; in fact, the limiting groove 321 moves while the limiting shaft 341 remains stationary), thus controlling the opening and closing of the clamping plate 31.

[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, in this first embodiment, the clamping plate 31 has a fan-shaped structure, with a short side facing the axis of the collecting cylinder 3 and a long side away from the axis of the collecting cylinder 3. On the short side, the clamping plate 31 has an arc-shaped opening 311. When all the clamping plates 31 are closed together to form a disc-shaped structure, all these arc-shaped openings 311 also close together, thus forming a clamping opening. In use, the enoki mushroom bundles are clamped through this clamping opening, thereby achieving harvesting.

[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the long side of the card plate 31 has a first connection point 312 and a second connection point 313. The first connection point 312 is connected to the fixed ring 35 through the insert shaft 351, and the second connection point 313 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 33.

[0036] Therefore, in the specific implementation of this embodiment one, as follows: Figure 7 As shown, in Figure 7 In this state, the clamping opening formed by the arc 311 can effectively clamp the enoki mushroom bundle, thereby enabling the harvesting of the enoki mushrooms. In this state, the limiting shaft 341 is located at point a of the limiting groove 321.

[0037] When harvesting is complete and the clamping opening needs to be opened, move the toothed ring 32 along... Figure 7 As shown by the dashed arrow (clockwise), the gear ring 32 rotates, causing the limiting groove 321 to rotate. Under this relative motion, the limiting shaft 341 moves towards point b of the limiting groove 321, and drives the clamping plate 31 to rotate via the connecting rod 33. Since the clamping plate 31 is connected to the fixing ring 35 via the first connection point 312, the end at the first connection point 312 only rotates around the insertion shaft 351 without displacement. The second connection point 313 follows the connecting rod 33, both rotating and displacing, thereby pulling the clamping plate 31 to rotate around the first connection point 312, which in turn causes the arc opening 311 to expand, thus enlarging the clamping opening. At this point, the device is moved to the top of the enoki mushroom culture medium, aligning the enlarged clamping opening with the lower part of the enoki mushroom bundle. The device is then driven to reverse the gear ring 32 until the clamping opening is closed to a suitable position, stably clamping the enoki mushroom bundle. The movable device can then move the clamped enoki mushroom bundle, thus enabling the harvesting of the enoki mushroom bundle. By repeating this process, mechanical equipment can be used to replace manual harvesting, thereby greatly improving work efficiency.

[0038] Example 2: Based on the above embodiments, in order to further clarify and completely explain the technical solutions therein, this utility model also provides an embodiment two. For example... Figures 2 to 3 As shown in this second embodiment, the first plate also has a corresponding opening on the opening of the second plate. Inside the opening, a collection tube 4 is fixed on the first plate. The collection tube 4 has an inverted cylindrical structure and is also fixed on the fixing ring 35. When the enoki mushroom bundles pass through the fixing ring 35, they enter the collection tube 4 and are collected.

[0039] Meanwhile, a motor 22 is also fixed on the bracket 2. The output shaft of the motor 22 faces downward and is fixed with a gear 21. The gear 21 is horizontally arranged with the gear ring 32 and meshes with it. When it is necessary to close the clamping opening, the output shaft of the drive motor 22 rotates, which drives the gear ring 32 to rotate under the rotation of the gear 21. This achieves the clamping of the enoki mushroom bundle.

[0040] Example 3: Based on the above embodiments, in order to further clarify and completely explain the technical solutions therein, this utility model also provides Embodiment Three. For example... Figures 1 to 5As shown in this third embodiment, the device further includes an abutment component 5, which is disposed at the bottom end of the collection cylinder 3. The collection cylinder 3 has several cavities. The abutment component 5 includes a guide rod 53 slidably disposed within the cavity. An abutment ring 51 is fixed to one end of the guide rod 53 away from the collection cylinder 3. A guide ring 52 is fixed to the collection cylinder 3 and is sleeved on the guide rod 53. A spring 54 is also sleeved on the guide rod 53, and the two ends of the spring 54 abut against the guide ring 52 and the collection cylinder 3, respectively.

[0041] When the abutment ring 51 touches the contact surface, it shortens the distance between itself and the collection cylinder 3. At this time, the guide rod 53 slides within the cavity and compresses the spring 54 to deform. After collection is completed, the equipment rises. The abutment ring 51 then returns to its original position under the action of the spring 54. This design allows the guide rod 53 to be adjusted according to the height of different enoki mushroom bundles, thus adapting to the harvesting of enoki mushrooms under different cultivation conditions.

[0042] Therefore, compared with the prior art, the present invention and its embodiments have the following advantages, including but not limited to: This invention utilizes the coordinated operation of a robotic arm and a cylinder 1. The cylinder 1 connects to a support 2, which integrates multiple harvesting cylinders 3. With the flexible positioning of the robotic arm and the precise drive of the cylinder 1, the harvesting cylinders 3 can simultaneously approach multiple enoki mushroom cultivation cylinders, enabling simultaneous harvesting of enoki mushrooms from multiple cultivation cylinders. This effectively reduces the time lost during single-cylinder harvesting, shortens the single harvesting cycle, and significantly improves the overall harvesting efficiency in large-scale cultivation scenarios.

[0043] Meanwhile, the harvesting cylinder 3 of this invention is rotatably equipped with multiple clamping plates 31. Each clamping plate 31 has an arc-shaped opening 311 that is close to each other. This arc-shaped opening 311 conforms to the natural shape of the enoki mushroom bundle, reducing mechanical damage to the stem during clamping and ensuring the integrity and commercial quality of the enoki mushrooms after harvesting. These clamping plates 31 are driven by a drive structure to rotate synchronously and close together, so that the arc-shaped opening 311 precisely forms a stable harvesting opening, achieving uniform clamping of the enoki mushroom bundle. This avoids both loose clamping that causes it to fall off and excessive clamping that causes the stem to break. No manual adjustment of the clamping force is required, which improves harvesting efficiency and reduces product loss during the harvesting process.

[0044] Furthermore, the collection cylinder 3 of this utility model is equipped with a top plate 34, on which a fixing ring 35 and a toothed ring 32 are integrated. The two ends of the clamping plate 31 are respectively rotatably connected between the fixing ring 35 and the toothed ring 32, forming a stable linkage structure. By driving the gear 21 to rotate through the motor 22 and meshing with the toothed ring 32, the rotation angle of the toothed ring 32 can be precisely controlled, thereby driving the clamping plate 31 to adjust the size of the picking opening, so that the picking opening can be adapted to enoki mushrooms of different bundle thicknesses. Whether it is a thinner bundle in the early stage of growth or a thicker bundle in the vigorous stage, a matching clamping space can be formed, which solves the problem of fixed picking opening size and poor adaptability of traditional tools, improves the versatility of the equipment, and reduces the time and cost losses caused by changing tooling.

[0045] In summary, this invention integrates a robotic arm, cylinder 1 for driving, motor 22 for transmission, and an adjustable clamping structure to construct a complete automated enoki mushroom harvesting system, replacing traditional manual harvesting with mechanized and automated equipment. This system not only eliminates the dependence on the number of workers, working hours, and skill levels, reducing labor costs, but also avoids the problem of inconsistent harvesting quality caused by variations in human operation, supporting continuous operation around the clock. Furthermore, it seamlessly integrates with subsequent sorting, cleaning, and packaging processes, laying the foundation for a fully automated production line from cultivation to processing in the enoki mushroom cultivation industry, and promoting the industry's upgrade towards standardization and efficiency.

[0046] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of this utility model and its equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
