A field cotton automatic topping device

Abstract

Aiming at the problem that the existing cotton topping device is difficult to balance the topping efficiency and topping accuracy when topping in the field environment, an automatic field cotton topping device is proposed. The device mainly includes an autonomous mobile platform, a cotton height rough positioning device, a cotton top three-dimensional recognition and fine positioning device, a cotton topping device, a power supply system and a control system. With the autonomous mobile platform as the carrier, the device can move autonomously and efficiently in different cotton plots. Preliminary positioning of cotton plant height in the field environment through the cotton height rough positioning device, secondary positioning of the target through the three-dimensional recognition and fine positioning device of the cotton top, and three accurate topping targets through the color camera installed on the cotton topping device Positioning to realize automatic identification and precise removal of cotton tops in the field. Greatly improve the cotton topping efficiency and topping accuracy in the field environment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of agricultural robots and relates to a cotton automatic operation device. Specifically relates to an automatic topping device for field cotton, which can automatically top the cotton planted in the field. Background technique [0002] Cotton has the habit of growing indefinitely, with obvious top dominance. By removing the top core, the growth of the main stem can be controlled, vegetative growth and reproductive growth can be coordinated, more nutrients can be transported to the fruiting branches, the supply of fruiting organs can be reduced, and ineffective branches can be reduced. At present, there are three types of cotton topping techniques: manual topping, mechanical topping, and chemical topping. Although manual topping has high precision, the working environment is harsh, labor-intensive, labor-intensive, and time-consuming, and the efficiency is low. It is easy to miss the best topping period, resulting in...
