Abstract

The invention discloses a robot and a method for pruning and crushing twigs. The robot comprises mechanical arms, pruning tail end actuators, a control unit and a camera, wherein the pruning tail end actuators are arranged at the front ends of the mechanical arms; actions of components such as the pruning tail end actuators and the camera are controlled by the control unit; each mechanical arm comprises a motor, a finger drive device, a forked finger, a saw web, a saw web shaft and a saw web shaft drive device; the motor drives the finger drive device and the saw web shaft drive device to act; the saw web is arranged at the periphery of the saw web shaft; the saw web shaft is connected with the saw web shaft drive device; the forked finger is connected with the finger drive device. The robot integrates selective pruning and crushing of the twigs, the twig transport link for crushing the twigs is reduced, and real-time crushing can be carried out; flakes which are crushed from twigs and leaves in situ are utilized as an organic fertilizer and are returned to the soil, so that the production cost is reduced, the usage amount of chemical synthetic fertilizers on the crops is reduced, and development of the organic fruit industry is promoted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mechanized pruning of fruit tree branches, in particular to a branch pruning and crushing robot and method. Background technique [0002] The pruning of fruit tree branches is of great significance to the quality of fruit tree growth and fruit. In recent years, the research on automatic pruning of horticultural plants has received widespread attention, but it is mainly aimed at the research on automatic pruning of horticultural plants. The pruning requirements of fruit tree branches are different from those of garden plants. It is necessary to selectively prune the branches of the tree body, while garden plants generally prune the whole tree body. At present, there are few studies on automatic pruning of fruit trees, and it is urgent to strengthen the intelligent research on pruning and crushing of fruit tree branches. Contents of the invention [0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overc...
