Greenhouse fruit and vegetable receiving and conveying robot

Abstract

The invention discloses a greenhouse fruit and vegetable receiving and conveying robot, which relates to the field of agricultural robots. The greenhouse fruit and vegetable receiving and conveying robot consists of an autonomous moving trolley (1), a rotary disc fruit receiving mechanism and a fruit dumping and unloading mechanism. During operation, the greenhouse fruit and vegetable receiving and conveying robot follows a pick-up robot; and four fruit storage boxes are driven by a rotary disc motor (8) in the rotary disc fruit receiving mechanism to rotate to collect the picked fruits and vegetables. The autonomous moving trolley (1) is guided by electromagnetism to convey the picked fruits and vegetables to a storage or post-production treatment region along a walkway; subsequently, a cam (11) in the fruit dumping and unloading mechanism rotates to press a bottom plate (15) to tilt outwards; and meanwhile, an electromagnet (16) is cut off to open a box door (14) to unload the picked fruits and vegetables. The four fruit storage boxes are driven by the rotary disc motor (8) to rotate, and meanwhile, the fruit dumping and unloading mechanism repeats the action until the fruits and vegetables are completely unloaded. The difficulty in collection of the fruits and vegetables is greatly reduced, the bearing capacity is increased, and automation of collection, transportation and fruit unloading of the picked fruits and vegetables is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of agricultural robots, in particular to a robot for receiving and transporting fruits and vegetables in a greenhouse. Background technique [0002] The automation of fruit and vegetable production has become an inevitable trend in the development of facility agriculture. Among them, the robot picking of fruits and vegetables has received more attention. Japan, the United States, the Netherlands and other countries have continued to develop and improve various picking robots (N.Kondo, K.C. Ting. Robotics for Bioproduction System.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, since the mobile platform of the picking robot is equipped with manipulators, end effectors, vision and control systems, etc., the carrying space and carrying capacity of the picked fruits and vegetables are very limited, and the picking robot will be transported to the storage or post-production processing area by picking fruits and vegetables , in the case of limited carrying capacity, it is necessary to go back and forth more frequently, which will greatly affect the efficiency of picking operations, which is unacceptable for agricultural production. Therefore, the automatic collection of picked fruits and vegetables and the on-site transportation in the greenhouse after collection must be carried out by corresponding equipment. Finish

No relevant research has been seen so far, which has become a huge obstacle to the automatic production of fruits and vegetables
