Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a plucking machine used for removing leaves of fruits and the like and for collecting pollen.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in order to improve the quality of fruits such as apples, peaches, persimmons and grapes and to ship them on the market, it is generally practiced to improve the coloring of the fruits. For this reason, it is necessary to pick out shaded leaves so that sunlight can come from all directions of the fruit. Conventionally, this leaf removal work is performed manually.

[0003]

As described above, since the leaf removal work is conventionally performed manually, it is still good to work in a place where a person can stand and reach, but the work of picking leaves in a high place is difficult. There is a problem that a ladder stand, catats, etc. are required, resulting in inefficiency, which requires manpower and takes time and cost.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to obtain a plucking machine which can improve the efficiency of leaf removal work. Another object of the present invention is to obtain a plucking machine that can easily collect pollen used for pollination.

[0005]

A picking machine according to the present invention comprises a machine body configured to discharge air sucked from a suction port from a discharge port, and a rotary blade provided on the suction port of the machine body. It is a thing. In addition, the bag mouth of the bag filter is connected to the discharge port of the machine body.

[0006]

In the present invention, the object to be picked is sucked into the suction port, cut by the rotary blade, and discharged from the discharge port to be picked. In addition, pollen from the picked discharge port can be collected in a bag filter.

EXAMPLES Example 1. An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 is a vertical side view, FIG. 2 is a view of FIG. 1 from the left, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III of FIG. 1, FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view of FIG. 1 from the right, and FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a working state at a height, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a working state at a high place.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a cylindrical machine body, which has a large-diameter cylindrical body 1a having a suction port 2, an intermediate cylindrical body 1b connected to the large-diameter cylindrical body 1a by a bolt 3, and an intermediate cylindrical body 1b. It is configured by a small-diameter cylindrical body 1c that is screwed and has a discharge port 4. Reference numeral 5 denotes a ring nozzle fitted and held on the inner circumference of the intermediate cylindrical body 1b, and the ejection port 5a is configured to eject in the direction of the ejection port 4. Reference numeral 6 denotes a support portion protrudingly provided on the outside of the intermediate cylindrical body 1b, which is rotatably held by a support shaft 7 on a tip fitting 8a of a rod 8. Reference numeral 9 denotes an annular passage around the support shaft 7 formed between the support portion 6 and the tip fitting 8a. The annular passage 9 communicates with the ring nozzle 5 through the communication port 10a provided in the support portion 6 and the communication provided in the tip fitting 8a. Rod 8 with mouth 10b
It communicates with the inside. Reference numeral 11 denotes a bearing portion arranged in the large-diameter cylindrical body 1a, and the rotating shaft 12 is held so as to match the center of the large-diameter cylindrical body 1a. Reference numeral 13 denotes a rotary blade fixed to the rotary shaft 12 and arranged near the suction port 2, and 14 denotes a turbine blade fixed to the rotary shaft 12, which is rotated by air from the injection port 15. Reference numeral 16 is a pipe for connecting the injection port 15 and the annular passage 9 to each other, 17 is a connecting fitting for connecting the air hose 18 to the rod 8, and 19 is a compressor for sending air to the air hose 18. The rod 8 may be expandable or contractable,
It is also possible to replace long and short ones.

Next, the operation will be described. When high-pressure air is sent into the annular passage 9 through the air hose 18 and the rod 8 by the compressor 19, the high-pressure air that has entered the ring nozzle 5 from the communication port 10a is ejected from the ejection port 5a, and a negative pressure is generated on the suction port 2 side. Then, a large amount of air is sucked from the suction port 2. At the same time, the turbine blades 14 are rotated by the high-pressure air ejected from the nozzles 15 through the pipe 16 to rotate the blades 13.
Is rotated at high speed. In this state, when the machine is brought close to the leaf 20a of the fruit tree 20 as shown in FIG.
Is simultaneously finely cut by the rotary blade 13 and discharged from the discharge port 4.

Since this machine can remove leaves simply by bringing its suction port 2 closer to the leaves 20a, it is extremely easy to remove leaves unlike the heavy work of picking a large amount of leaves with fingertips, and the removal of leaves at a high place. However, as shown in FIG. 6, it can be easily and safely performed by using the long rod 8 without using a ladder stand or caterpillar, and the leaves can be removed just by sucking the leaves 20a close to the leaves 20a, so that the fruit is not damaged. In addition, since this machine can be made of a light material such as plastic as a whole, it is lightweight and easy to handle, and it can be safely handled by women and the elderly.

Embodiment 2. Another embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS.
FIG. 11 will be described. 7 is a vertical side view, FIG. 8 is a view of FIG. 7 from the left, FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view of the bag-like filter portion of FIG. 7, and FIG. 10 is a view showing a working state in a low place.
1 is a view showing a working state at a high place, and the same or corresponding parts as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. In the figure, 21 is a bag-like filter connected to the discharge port 4 of the machine body 1 by a duct hose 22, and is a filter paper bag 23.
And a filter case (basket) 24 for accommodating and protecting the filter paper bag 23, and a lid 27 detachably attached to the filter case 24 with a patch 25 and having a connection port 26 for the duct hose 22. There is. 28 is a shoulder strap of the bag filter 21.

When the bag-shaped filter 21 is connected to the discharge port 4 of the machine body 1 by the duct hose 22 in this way,
As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the flower 29a of the fruit tree 29 can be removed. That is, the compressor 1 is the same as in the first embodiment.
When a large amount of air is sucked from the suction port 2 by driving 9 and the rotary blade 13 is rotated at a high speed and the machine is brought close to the flower 29a as shown in FIG. 10, the flower 29a is sucked into the suction port 2 and rotates. It is finely cut by the blade 13 and accumulated in the filter paper bag 23 through the duct hose 22. Air exits from the filter paper bag 23 through the outer peripheral mesh of the filter case 24. In this way, the mixture of petals and anthers collected in the filter paper bag 23 is taken out, the anther is separated through a sieve, the anther is opened to take out pollen, and a pollinator is used for pollination work.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain the effect that the efficiency of the leaf removing operation can be improved. Also,
The effect of easily collecting pollen used for pollination is also obtained.
