Apple picking robot

Abstract

The invention discloses an apple picking robot, which comprises a robot body, a multi-stage adjusting arm, an adjusting device, a claw and a sorting device. One end of the robot body is vertically provided with an electric push rod, and the other end of the robot body is provided with the sorting device; a crawler walking device is disposed under the robot body; the electric push rod is provided with a torsion steering gear; the torsion steering gear is provided with the adjusting device and the multi-stage adjusting arm; the upper end of the multi-stage adjusting arm is provided with the clawand a second stepping motor for driving the claw; the upper surface of the sorting device is provided with a collecting box, and the bottom of the sorting device is provided with rollers; and the collecting box is provided with a conveying pipe fixed to the electric push rod and having an upward opening. The apple picking robot has reasonable structure design, conducts integrated picking, sortingand collecting of the apples in a high place, improves the efficiency of collecting and sorting, and causes no damage to the fruits; and the apple picking robot has is simple in operation, high in safety, and greatly reduces labor intensity and picking costs.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fruit picking, in particular to an apple picking robot. Background technique [0002] In the past, harvesting apples was generally done manually, which was labor-intensive. And because most apples are located at high places, pickers often need to climb trees or use ladders to pick apples, and the whole picking process has certain dangers. In addition, although the existing apple picking device can pick the apples, it is difficult to control the picking strength during the picking process, which often damages the apples, and the picking is neither flexible nor convenient. [0003] Since the 1980s, my country has begun the research and manufacture of cutting-type pickers, and has officially developed from the manual use of scissors to the use of mechanical devices for picking in orchards. There is a kind of vibrating picker, which utilizes a shift fork to stretch into the junction of fruit branches, and t...

Problems solved by technology

This method does relatively large damage to the fruit, but the efficiency is low and it is not easy to sort

Since then, there have been more auxiliary tools such as hydraulic pruning lifting platforms. These tools can be used to improve the working position of workers and facilitate picking operations, but the degree of mechanization is still very low.

The technical problems encountered in the prior art are: first, how to improve the picking efficiency without damage to the fruit; second, how to transport the picked fruit to facilitate later processing and improve collection efficiency; third, how to The picked apples are sorted into different sizes, reducing the labor intensity of manual sorting in the later stage and improving collection efficiency
