Pineapple picking machine and pineapple picking arrangement method

Abstract

The invention relates to a pineapple picking machine and a pineapple picking arrangement method. The pineapple picking machine comprises a walking mechanism, picking mechanisms, conveying mechanisms,recognition steering mechanisms, stem removal mechanisms and a collection management mechanism; the walking mechanism comprises a vehicle body and wheels; the two picking mechanisms are arranged at the two sides of the front of the vehicle body, the other side of each picking mechanism is correspondingly provided with one conveying mechanism, and each conveying mechanism is internally provided with a conveyor belt in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body; the two recognition steering mechanisms are arranged on the corresponding conveyor belts respectively; each recognition steering mechanism is composed of a color recognition camera, a steering stirring rod and a steering motor; the number of the stem removal mechanisms is two, and each stem removal mechanism is composed of a rotating disk, a rotating motor, a stem cutting knife and a stem cutting motor; the collection management mechanism is composed of a six-freedom-degree manipulator and a collection box. The pineapple picking machine and the pineapple picking arrangement method have the advantages that picking, conveying, stem removal, encasement and management are integrated, the automatic operation can be achieved inthe whole process, and the work efficiency is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mechanized harvesting of crops, in particular to a pineapple picking machine and a pineapple picking and sorting method. Background technique [0002] Pineapples are native to the Amazon River Basin in Brazil and Paraguay in South America, and were introduced to China from Brazil in the 16th century. Now it has become one of the fruits that Chinese residents often eat. Domestic pineapple picking is mainly done manually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and improper picking will lead to a decline in the quality of pineapple; pineapple grows in the center of the rosette-shaped leaf cluster, and the edges of the leaves are covered with barbs, which can easily scratch the operator when picking by hand. [0003] At present, there are many machines for pineapple picking, including hand-held, semi-automatic and fully automatic; hand-held and portable pineapple pickers are labor-intensive, and the ef...

Problems solved by technology

Domestic pineapple picking is mainly done manually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and improper picking will lead to a decline in the quality of pineapple; pineapple grows in the center of rosette-shaped leaves, and the edges of the leaves are covered with barbs, which can easily scratch the operator when picking by hand

[0003] At present, there are many machines for pineapple picking, including hand-held, semi-automatic and fully automatic; hand-held and portable pineapple pickers are labor-intensive, and the efficiency of picking and collecting is low, and it is impossible to prevent the operator from being scratched by the leaves.

The semi-automatic type, except the cutting action during picking, needs to be done manually, and its work efficiency is also low

However, the current fully automatic pineapple picking machinery is not fully functional. Although some have the function of removing stems, it is difficult to determine the direction of the pineapple after picking, which often leads to misoperation and damage to the pineapple fruit.

However, most pineapple picking machines cannot automatically complete the sorting and boxing operations after removing the stems
