Mechanized fruit picking, collecting and transporting system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a mechanized fruit picking, collecting and transporting system and method. The mechanized fruit picking, collecting and transporting system comprises an end picking device, an elongating arm, an elongating arm seat, a charging hopper, a conveying device, a trailer and a movable device, wherein the trailer is arranged on the movable device, the charging hopper is arranged in front of one side of the movable device, and is connected with the trailer through the conveying device, one end of the elongating arm is fixed on the movable device through the elongating arm seat, and the end picking device is arranged at the other end of the elongating arm. The mechanized fruit picking, collecting and transporting method comprises the following steps of: driving the movable device by a user to move and seek fruits which are suitable for harvest; sending the end picking device to the fruits through the elongating arm; picking the fruits through the end picking device, and gripping the fruits and sending the fruits to the charging hopper; and conveying the fruits to the trailer through the conveying device after the fruits enter the charging hopper. According to the invention, mechanized operation which integrates the picking, collection and transportation of the fruits is realized, so that mechanized degree of fruit picking, collection and transportation is effectively improved, and fruit picking accuracy rate is also increased while fruit picking efficiency is increased.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fruit picking, in particular to a mechanized fruit picking, collection and transportation system and method suitable for large-scale fruit picking. Background technique [0002] In fruit production operations, fruit picking accounts for about 30-50% of the entire work volume. Due to the complexity of the picking operation environment and operation objects, although technical solutions for picking automation have been proposed one after another, fruit harvesting has not been widely used. Automation technology. In fact, most of the current fruit harvesting operations have not been mechanized. In the fruit harvesting process, in addition to picking the fruit, the fruit must be collected and transported to the storage place. This requires the mechanization of the harvesting operation in addition to the mechanization of the picking operation, but also the mechanization of collection and transportation. With the r...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] As far as the fruit harvesting operation is concerned, most of the fruit picking actuators that occur at present are proposed for the picking of small-sized fruits, such as the fruit picker disclosed in U.S. Patent No. Disclosed fruit picker, application number are the disclosed fruit picker of the U.S. Patent of US19990473439 etc., all are only applicable to the picking of small-sized fruit, and for large-scale or heavier fruit (as bunch of bananas or bunch of coconut etc.) ), currently there is no dedicated picking equipment
