An intelligent robot for harvesting garlic sprouts and its working method

Abstract

The invention relates to an intelligent robot for harvesting garlic sprouts and its working method, belonging to the field of agricultural intelligent equipment; the robot includes a harvesting device, a mobile platform, a control system and a power system; one or more harvesting devices are located on the mobile platform At the front end, each harvesting device includes a three-dimensional sliding table, a clamping and tying component, an identification and positioning component, a feeding component and a garlic container; a three-dimensional sliding table, a clamping and tying component, an identification and positioning component, a delivery The stalk assembly, as well as the mobile platform and the power system are all connected with the control system. The invention cleverly combines artificial intelligence with mechanical design, simulates the operation process of manually harvesting garlic sprouts, and realizes high-speed identification and positioning of garlic plants through steps such as identifying plants, clamping plants, plucking plants, pruning sprouts, lifting sprouts, sending sprouts, and advancing Accurate and rapid harvesting of garlic sprouts; using this robot to harvest garlic sprouts, the harvested quantity can be quantified, the harvesting progress can be expected, and the harvesting quality can be guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an intelligent robot for garlic sprouts harvesting and a working method thereof, belonging to the technical field of agricultural intelligent equipment. Background technique [0002] Garlic sprouts are flower stems extracted from garlic plants. As a common vegetable, it is one of the main products of the garlic industry. Harvesting of garlic sprouts is an essential operation link in garlic production, with strong seasonality and short and concentrated harvest time. For a long time, garlic farmers in Guangzhou have mainly relied on manual methods or simple tools to extract garlic sprouts, which have low operation efficiency, high labor intensity, high production cost, uneven harvesting quality and difficult to guarantee, and the yield and quality of garlic sprouts and garlic heads are severely restricted. [0003] In response to the above problems, relevant domestic personnel have made research attempts and proposed various sch...

Problems solved by technology

Chinese patent application CN102057810A discloses an automatic garlic harvester, which is composed of a frame, a bolting part, a rounded rectangular guide rail, a cutting part, a storage box, a scraping integration part, a power device and a plurality of transmission units, which are pushed forward At the same time, the cutting part cuts the garlic skin covering the garlic sprouts, and the lower scraping integrated part squeezes the bottom end of the garlic sprouts, and the bolting part on the top then extracts the garlic sprouts and sends them to the storage box. This invention is easy to cause the garlic plants to pick Later lodging affects the later growth of garlic heads

[0004] Chinese patent application CN106941868A discloses a garlic moss harvester, which cuts the garlic stem and then removes the garlic skin, without considering the continued growth of the garlic head; Chinese patent application CN103609251A discloses a garlic moss harvester, which is pulled by a tractor and transported by clamping The mechanism holds the garlic moss, which may easily cause the garlic stalk to break or the whole plant to be pulled out. In addition, tractors running in the field have specific requirements for garlic planting specifications and border width, otherwise it is easy to crush the garlic sprouts; Chinese patent application CN107455077A discloses a garlic sprout harvesting method. machine, there are problems of repeated needle pricking and multiple cutting of garlic stalks, which can easily lead to garlic stalks being broken and affecting growth; Chinese patent application CN104663121B discloses a mechanical device for automatic harvesting of garlic sprouts. The harvesting operation is realized by the methods of lifting garlic sprouts, cutting garlic sprouts longitudinally, and cutting garlic sprouts horizontally, but neither mentions nor realizes the mobile carrier platform of the device, nor does it mention or realize the identification and positioning method of individual garlic plants, so the The plan doesn't make sense

In short, there are still no mature schemes and practical devices for harvesting garlic sprouts in China.
