Abstract

The fruit picking apparatus features that its cutting (shearing) mechanism driven by electric motor or electromagnetic force has a visual or infrared circuit as controller and the fruit triggering the controller is cut off and then slides down along pipe. A cutting (shearing) unit for fruit handles is disclosed.

Description

Fruit picking apparatus

This product design fruit picking apparatus, the applicant thinks a kind of new-type product, so creative, novelty and practicality are the application patent of invention.The detailed description of the invention is as follows:

1, the invention belongs to machinery, electronic technology field.

2, for the present invention, the applicant investigated the fruit picking mode of some main fruit grown places with regard to institute's limit condition, also consulted the data of relevant fruit picking aspect, did not all find or recognize to have to be similar to any utensil that is used for fruit picking of the present invention.In view of the above, the applicant thinks that the present invention is the complete new-type innovative tool of production.

3, the objective of the invention is to design, to produce according to the principle of the invention product and be widely applied in the fruit production and go, be beneficial to and improve fruit production efficiency, alleviate personnel's fatigue, intact protection fruit and fruit tree are brought into play positive economic benefit and social benefit.

4, the alleged fruit picking apparatus of the present invention by strut, shell, lead fruit pipe, control circuit, cut (cutting) mechanism and power supply six parts and constitute (seeing accompanying drawing 1).

1. strut (seeing accompanying drawing 1A) is used for lifting corresponding height plucking a mechanism, can use good toughness such as bamboo bar, rod, plastic bar, broken resistance, the making of lightweight material, and also the available metal material is made retractable or freely folded.Mode such as available latching type, screw rod fastening-type is connected between strut and the shell (seeing accompanying drawing 1B), can conveniently separate as far as possible.

2. shell is used for being installed with and plucks mechanism, makes with plastics or other nonmetallic materials, is shaped as cylinder, and upper diameter is bigger, and purpose is fruit conveniently to be entered pluck chamber (seeing accompanying drawing 1C).The size of shell can be put into typical maximum fruit with the most reasonable reliable installation of attached harvesting mechanism and formed harvesting chamber and be as the criterion.

3. lead fruit pipe (seeing accompanying drawing 1D).Be used for being gone into to contain the fruit container cutting the fruit transporting that (cutting) base of fruit separates with fruit tree.Because lead fruit pipe, fruit can not fall on ground and damage, and can roll into automatically and contain the fruit container, lead the fruit pipe can with have softness, coefficient of friction material little, durability characteristics is made.Lead fruit pipe and be connected with outer casing underpart, communicate with the harvesting chamber, the internal diameter of pipe is advisable with the maximum gauge of such fruit, pipe range highly is advisable with general fruit tree, preferably makes the spring-like retractility.

4. control circuit (seeing accompanying drawing 1E).Pluck the chamber as having judged whether that fruit enters, to control electronic cutting (cutting) mechanism (seeing accompanying drawing 1F) action.This circuit adopts the visible light light-sensitive element to make or the infrared ray photosensitive elements is made reference circuit figure such as accompanying drawing 2.Operation principle is: when fruit picking will use, connect power switch, infrared rays or VISIBLE LIGHT EMISSION head (seeing accompanying drawing 1G) emit beam, and receive to make circuits for triggering (seeing accompanying drawing 1I) work after head (seeing accompanying drawing 1H) is received; At this moment, power source (seeing accompanying drawing 1J) electromotor or electromagnet do not move, and are in the time state for the treatment of, when fruit enters the harvesting chamber, luminous ray or infrared rays are blocked by fruit, receive and make the action of circuits for triggering control power source after head loses illumination, power source urges cuts (cutting) mechanism, base of fruit is cut (cutting) and is broken, fruit glides under action of gravity, at this moment, receive the head illumination of getting back, repeat above-mentioned action.

5. cut (cutting) mechanism.Be used for cutting off automatically or cutting off base of fruit.Cut (cutting) mechanism by power source, transmission mechanism and cut (cutting) cutter and form, concrete structure can adopt the multiple technologies scheme.Power source can be used micromotor, also available electromagnetic force.Cutting knife or scissors must device pluck the chamber suitable for reading beyond pluck the chamber so that fruit is freely entered.This device is attached on the shell, and fruit being separated with fruit tree branch be as the criterion accurately, fast, its volume can make little as far as possible.The design of these parts is the technology that the present invention still further solves.

6. power supply (seeing accompanying drawing 1K).As providing operating voltage and electric current to control circuit and electromotor, available dry cell or lead accumulator are located at ground, can supply harvesting personnel braces.Supply voltage is below 12V, and power supply links to each other with load with lead support bar.Power supply with light and handy, capacity is big, price is low is advisable.

5, above six most of structures have the following advantages: 1. adopt and cut (cutting) base of fruit device automatically, can improve fruit picking efficient; 2. help to pluck the fruit that is suspended on branches of tall trees, avoiding manually climbs tree makes a mess of fruit tree; Fruit is gone into vessel along pipe, in order to avoid damage, the protection pericarp is intact; 3. the harvesting personnel stand in fruit tree work down, and action is convenient, subtracts tired labour intensity greatly.Existing fruit picking technology, according to the knowledge of the applicant, only being that instrument is manual with the scissors plucks and with a kind of instrument that is used to pluck high-tech fruit that is similar to accompanying drawing 2 shapes.Though relevant certain the getting in touch with the present invention of these two kinds of instruments, the present invention are the comprehensive of multinomial technology, have much novel advantage, be a kind of new-type agricultural production instrument fully.

6, technological difficulties of the present invention are to design light and handy, solid and reliable the cutting of structure (cutting) machinery.The applicant advises some the characteristics designs with reference to existing electric scissors, electric shaver, and it is better that control circuit does to trigger medium with visible light, the one, and cost is low, and the 2nd, simple and reliable.Miscellaneous part all belongs to easy making, low cost components.According to combinatorial principle of the present invention, can design and produce the picking device of various fruit, mainly be to adjust to pluck the chamber and lead the internal diameter of fruit pipe and the dynamics of electrical source of power.Utilize prior art also can design and produce full-automatic fruit picking robot according to the present invention with orientation arbitration functions.The applicant wishes that sincerely the invention of oneself can serve country early, serves numerous orchard workers, obtains bigger economic benefit and social benefit.

Claims

Fruit picking apparatus of the present invention belongs to electronics and field of mechanical technique.Unique distinction of the present invention is to utilize electronic cutting (cutting) technology to combine with electron controls technology to be used for the harvesting of fruit, the exclusive right of claimed following two technology of applicant:

What 1, have the mechanical component of cutting (cutting) function and control this member action being urged by electromotor (or electromagnetic force) is that the component device is on non-covered container, can finish cut (the cutting) of the fruit base of a fruit when having fruit to enter container moves, make fruit break away from fruit tree, be used for the design or the product of fruit-picking specially;
2, to the additional any material of the 1st described design or product make, the pipeline of Any shape cross sections and container be connected and be used to carry the design or the product of the fruit of being plucked.
