Design and Experiment of Portable Blueberry Picking Machine
Blueberry is known as the"king of high-grade fruits"and is one of the five major fruits recom-mended by FAO.It has the characteristics of more juice,thin peel,large output and short maturity,but it takes a lot of manpower to harvest every year,which leads to huge losses.Especially in Changbai Moun-tain,which is rich in blueberry resources,a huge amount of artificially cultivated and wild blueberries can not be harvested in time every year,which affects the economic benefits and hinders the development of related industries.The harvesting of blueberry in Changbai Mountain was mainly manual,with low har-vesting efficiency,high labor intensity and high operating cost,which was not suitable for large-scale blueberry harvesting machinery.Based on the principle of resonance,this paper designs a portable vibrat-ing blueberry picker.The field experiment proves that the designed blueberry picker has simple structure,convenient operation and high efficiency,which is suitable for small and medium-sized blueberry growers in Changbai Mountain area,and effectively solves the problem of difficult blueberry harvesting in mountainous areas.
