The methods of fruit pickers mainly include the following:
Vibration harvester: This method uses air force, crank-connecting rod vibrator or inertial vibrator to generate vibration, and transmits the vibration to the tree body through the transmission vibration rod and the clamp, so that the fruit tree vibrates and shakes, and the fruit falls off due to inertia. When the inertia force is greater than the resistance of the fruit to fall off, the fruit is shaken off and falls on the fruit collector under the canopy, and then collected in the container.
Handheld fruit picker: For fruits for fresh consumption or storage, handheld fruit pickers are usually used by humans to pick fruits with hydraulic lifting trolleys. This method is suitable for fruits that require delicate processing and can ensure the freshness and integrity of the fruits.
Tool making method: Some creative DIY enthusiasts also make their own fruit picking tools. For example, some people use plastic bottles to make fruit picking artifacts, which can easily pick fruits more than ten meters high. The advantage of this method is that it is low cost and suitable for use in families or small-scale orchards.
Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages, and choosing the right method depends on the type of fruit tree, the size of the fruit, and the needs of picking. Vibrating harvesters are suitable for large-scale orchards, while handheld fruit pickers and DIY tools are more suitable for small-scale or special needs.
