Automatic picking system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic picking system used for vegetable plantation cabinets. The system comprises an information acquisition device, a picking device and a control device. The information acquisition device is used for collecting growth information and position information of vegetables in plantation cabinets; the picking device is used for picking vegetables in the plantation cabinets; the control device is used for receiving the growth information and the position information collected by the information acquisition device and controlling the picking device to work according to the growth information and the position information. The invention also discloses an automatic picking method comprising following steps: obtaining the growth information and position information of vegetables in the plantation cabinets through the information acquisition device and sending the growth information and the position information to the control device; determining whether the growth information satisfies maturity index preset in the control device; controlling the picking device to picking up vegetables according to the positioning information if the growth information satisfies maturity index. By means of the picking system and the automatic picking method, the situation that over mature vegetables or immature vegetables are picked is avoided so that the quality and plantation efficiency of vegetables are increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of agricultural equipment, in particular to an automatic picking system and method for a vegetable planting cabinet. Background technique [0002] Existing vegetable planting cabinets are usually equipped with supplementary lights and water tanks, which can intelligently supplement light and water according to the growth rules of vegetables themselves, without human intervention in the growth process of vegetables. However, whether the vegetables are ripe or not can be picked can only be judged by people at present, and they need to be picked by human hands. However, people can only judge by experience, and it is easy to pick immature or mature vegetables for a long time Time-consuming vegetables, resulting in a waste of resources, increased vegetable planting costs, and reduced vegetable planting efficiency. [0003] Therefore, how to automatically pick the ripe vegetables in the planting cabinet in time is a techni...
