Portable fruit picking machine capable of automatic gripping and cutting

Abstract

The invention provides a portable fruit picking machine capable of automatic gripping and cutting, comprising a picking mechanism, a transmission mechanism and a drive mechanism, which are connected in sequence; wherein, the picking mechanism is provided with a fruit stalk detector; the drive mechanism is provided with a corresponding measure and control circuit; the drive mechanism is air-operated and comprises a cutting cylinder and a gripping cylinder; the cutting cylinder and the gripping cylinder are respectively connected with an air bottle and an air pump via a corresponding cutting solenoid valve and a corresponding gripping solenoid valve; the cutting cylinder and the gripping cylinder are arranged at the handle end of a picking rod body; the air bottle, the air pump and the measure and control circuit are arranged in the picking machine body. When the picking machine of the invention is operated, operators only need to move the picking rod body, so that the picking mechanism is close to the fruit stalk and a system automatically completes recognition, gripping and cutting of the stalks of the picked fruits, thus substantially reducing the labor strength of fruit picking, improving the picking efficiency and saving the cost. The operation of gripping and cutting is automatically executed by the measure and control circuit and the degree of automation is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to fruit picking technology, in particular to a portable automatic clamping and cutting fruit picking machine. Background technique [0002] At present, the degree of automation of fruit picking equipment is low, and its picking efficiency is also low, so automated mechanical picking equipment has a good application prospect. As far as the current fruit picking mechanisms are concerned, most of them have motor-driven or pneumatic or hydraulic-driven structures, and most of the picking equipment using these structures are more complicated in structure, requiring complex transmission mechanisms, increasing energy loss and generally higher cost , poor practicability and difficult maintenance. For example Chinese patent 200810060259. X discloses a kind of fruit picker, and it is made up of power source, strut and the picking part that is arranged on the top of the strut, and the picking part is formed by the connection of motor and p...

Problems solved by technology

Although this fruit picker effectively solves the problems of short life, large picking head, difficulty in use and low efficiency in places with dense branches, the picking head is a motor driven by a power supply. Driven to rotate, it is necessary to provide an additional power supply, which increases energy consumption. In addition, the connection between the power supply and the motor also limits the convenient movement of the picker; at the same time, the motor is set in the cavity of the picking head, and its output There is also a planetary reducer at the end, which increases the complexity of its structure and the difficulty of maintenance; in addition, due to the variety of fruits and different sizes, different types of picking heads are required, and the replacement of the rack is not easy, which makes it There are also certain limitations in generality

In addition, Chinese patent 200420050927.8 discloses a picker using a pneumatic transmission device. The picker uses picking wheels and compressed airflow to continuously pick and transport cotton. It has the advantages of continuous operation, picking, transporting and packaging can be completed automatically , but need to add additional drive and air supply mechanism, the adaptability to the environment (rainwater, dust, etc.) is also poor, and it is not very practical for fruit picking
