The invention relates to the field of fruit picking tools, and particularly relates to an apple picker capable of
cutting fruit stems short. The apple picker comprises a rack cylinder, a
cutting mechanism and a puller mechanism, wherein the puller mechanism comprises an air cylinder with a cylinder body fixed at the bottom of the rack cylinder; a
piston rod of the air cylinder penetrates the bottom of the rack cylinder from the bottom up, and a control lever is horizontally fixed at the end part of the
piston rod; two holders are fixed at the end part of a third transmission rod located abovethe rack cylinder, and are opposite, and a cambered
surface structure fit with the middle of an apple is arranged in each holder; the
cutting mechanism comprises a guiding pillar fixed on the cylinderbody of the rack cylinder; an outer
cutting tool comprises an outer blade which has a cambered surface facing a driving motor and is of a
branch structure, an inner
cutting tool comprises an inner blade of a
branch structure, the middle of the inner blade is rotationally matched with a positioning shaft, and the cutting edge position of the
branch part of the outer blade is opposite to that of the branch part of the inner blade. While the fruit stems of the apples are
cut to complete picking, the fruit stems are lower than the surfaces of the apples, the subsequent operation of fruit growersis reduced, the
workload of the fruit growers is reduced, and the situation that the surfaces of other apples are damaged by the apple stems when the apples are in transportation is avoided.
