The present invention discloses an underground
crop digging
robot and a control method thereof. The
robot comprises a travelling mechanism, a soil loosening mechanism, a transmission mechanism, a bagging mechanism and a
control system. The travelling mechanism comprises driving wheels and a driven wheel which are arranged at the two ends of a rack respectively, the driving wheels comprise a right driving wheel driven by a first motor and a left driving wheel driven by a second motor, and one ends of the driving wheels are a
machine head. The soil loosening mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the rack and comprises a soil digging
shovel and a soil loosening
shovel, the
tail parts of the soil digging
shovel and the soil loosening shovel are both connected with the rack, and the transmission mechanism is arranged on the rack. The head of a horizontal
conveyor belt is contacted with the
tail part of the soil digging shovel, and the
tail part is contacted with the bottom of a vertical
conveyor belt. The bagging mechanism is arranged at the tail part of the rack and comprises a bag for holding the underground crops. The underground
crop digging
robot and the control method thereof solve the structural insufficiency of a conventional potato digging
machine, highlight the characteristics of the potato digging
machine, such as light volume, automatic driving, automatic potato bagging, etc., in the mechanism design, realize the man-machine separation, and avoid the
electric shock potential safety hazards of people.
