Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention mainly relates to a fruit protection device for an orchard, and more particularly to a technique for avoiding damage caused by a large amount of fruits falling due to a typhoon with a relatively simple structure. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in orchards such as pears, apples, and peaches, the harvest time is concentrated from early autumn to mid-autumn, which coincides with the typhoon season. Often, it causes a great deal of fruit drop, which causes enormous damage. In recent years, the weather forecasting technology has been greatly advanced, and the date and time when a typhoon strikes and its course can be almost predicted, and the forecast is accurately made through a television or radio.

[0003]

By the way, while the date, time, and course of the typhoon infestation are sufficiently known, in the orchard at the harvesting stage, it is necessary to take sufficient measures to prevent the fall of fruits. The current situation is that it only stops to protect the branches and trees and waits for the passage of the typhoon. Then, during the harvesting season, even a slight wind causes the fruit to fall, and a strong wind such as a typhoon causes a large amount of fruit to drop. As a result, it does not become a shipping product, and the orchard side does not make any income. By the way, in order to prevent the falling of fruits, it is possible to put a net on the branch unit where the fruit is growing to prevent the fruit from falling, but it is troublesome to put the net on the branch unit and It is also difficult to deal with the typhoon promptly, and moreover, the net hung on each branch is easily blown by the typhoon, and it is difficult to respond sufficiently.

The present invention is intended to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to easily and quickly install a protective net according to a predicted typhoon to prevent the fall of fruits. We provide a fruit protection device that receives most of it with a protection net and avoids drop impacts, enables shipment even if there is a drop of fruit in a typhoon, avoids significant damage, and can expect income from shipping Especially.
