The invention discloses an intelligent
tobacco leaf picking
manipulator and a picking method.The
manipulator comprises a mechanical arm, the
tail end of the mechanical arm is provided with a binocular camera and an end
effector, the end
effector comprises a driving motor, a connecting module, a
tobacco leaf cutting mechanical claw and an anti-scraping ball mechanical claw, and the two sets of mechanical claws are arranged in parallel up and down; the tobacco
cutting mechanical
grippers are arranged in parallel, are connected with an output shaft of the driving motor through a connecting module and are driven by the driving motor to perform opening and closing actions, two concentric circles surrounding a tobacco rod can be formed when the tobacco
cutting mechanical
grippers are closed, a cutting circle formed by the upper tobacco cutting mechanical
grippers is larger than the periphery of the tobacco rod, and an anti-scraping circle formed by the lower anti-scraping ball mechanical grippers makes contact with the periphery of the tobacco rod. During working, the binocular camera positions the position of a tobacco stem and transmits the tobacco stem to the upper computer, the mechanical arm moves the end
effector to the positioning position according to position information, the closed mechanical claw surrounds the tobacco stem, and when the anti-scraping ball mechanical claw moves upwards, the tobacco cutting mechanical claw cuts tobacco from bottom to top. The device has the advantages of high picking efficiency, low
breakage rate, high adaptability and the like.
