AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This inventor describes a robot called Pick-Up (a type of robotic device). It consists of three parts - one part being driven by an electric or hydraulic servomotors while another part works together through a special mechanism like a geared reduction system. These components work together to make sure they move smoothly without any issues such as getting stuck during operation. They also have cameras, sensors, and collars attached thereto to help them track their movements accurately over longer distances. Overall, this design allows robots to perform various tasks more efficiently than traditional methods due its ability to handle complex shapes effectively.

Problems solved by technology

The technical issue addressed by this patented technology relates to increasing productivity without requiring manual work or high levels of human resource input for effective management during peak hours when there may be an increased demand from consumers who want more fruits/vegetables than usual due to their age group being older individuals.

Embodiment Construction

[0025] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with accompanying drawing:

[0026] Such as Figure 1~7 As shown, a picking manipulator includes an end effector, a mechanical arm and a lifting platform, and the lifting platform is installed on a crawler vehicle that can automatically drive and navigate.

[0027] The end effector includes a clamping mechanism and a servo motor I (1). Rubber nylon material is added to the inside of the fingers of the clamping mechanism to reduce damage to the fruit surface.

[0028] DIGI-HIBW-60 video camera is set on the end effector, fsr-402 pressure sensor is set at the finger end, DIGI-HIBW-60 video camera and fsr-402 pressure sensor are connected to the controller, DIGI-HIBW-60 video camera collects the end The distance information between the actuator and the picking object and the shape and size information of the fruit, the fsr-402 pressure sensor converts the pressure at the end of the finger into an electri...

Abstract

The invention discloses a picking mechanical hand which comprises a terminal executor, a mechanical arm and a lifting platform. The lifting platform is installed on a creeper truck, and the creeper truck can automatically drive and achieve navigation. The mechanical arm is mainly and structurally comprises four joints, namely a base, a large arm, a small arm and a wrist. The base is connected with the lifting platform. The lifting platform mainly achieves movement in the vertical direction. The wrist is connected with the terminal executor. The terminal executor achieves space positioning and fruit harvesting action in harvesting operation. In the harvesting process, separation of fruits from fruit trees is mainly achieved through the degree of freedom of the wrist. The terminal executor has a visual analysis function, a pressure sensing function and a collision sensing function. For all the joint portions, an alternating current servo motor is selected as a driving source, and a planetary gear reducer is selected for speed reduction. The picking mechanical hand is small in structural mass and size, and has the advantages of being simple in transmission mechanism, low in design cost and the like.
