Embodiment Construction

[0028] The specific implementation manners of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0029] The end effector for a fruit picking robot according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: a sleeve unit and an airbag unit. The sleeve unit is a cylindrical structure with front and rear ends open; the air bag unit is arranged inside the sleeve unit, and uses its own inflation and deflation process to realize fruit picking.

[0030] figure 1 is a schematic structural view of the sleeve unit described in the embodiment of the present invention, as figure 1 As shown, the outer diameter D of the sleeve unit is 180mm, and the front end (ie figure 1 The distance from the left end of the middle sleeve unit) to the rear end (that is, the length of the sl...

Abstract

The invention discloses an end effector for a fruit picking robot, and relates to the technical field of mechanical automation. The end effector comprises a sleeve unit and an airbag unit, wherein the sleeve unit has a tubular structure with open front and back ends; and the airbag unit is arranged in the sleeve unit, and fruits are picked by using the inflating and deflating process of the airbag unit. The end effector for the fruit picking robot mainly comprises the sleeve unit and the airbag unit, is simple in structure and low in cost, cannot scratch the fruits or be scratched by fruit trees in the using process, can safely and reliably pick the fruits and has a wide application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical automation, in particular to an end effector for a fruit picking robot. Background technique [0002] Highly automated agricultural machinery and more intelligent agricultural robots have developed rapidly in recent years, which have played a major role in reducing the labor intensity of agricultural production, alleviating the shortage of rural labor force, and reducing the production cost of agricultural products. In the research and development of agricultural robots, the end effector is the core working part of agricultural robots such as picking robots and grafting robots. [0003] The most important function that the end effector of an agricultural robot should have is the flexible handling of the work object. The operations here refer to all operations that target living things, including harvesting, sowing, transplanting, shaping, primary processing, shearing, and milking. In order to...
