Fruit and vegetable picking robot

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of robots, and discloses a fruit and vegetable picking robot which comprises a walking mechanism, a grabbing mechanism, a collecting mechanism and a control module. A recognition device is arranged in front of the walking mechanism. The grabbing mechanism comprises a mechanical claw assembly and an adjusting assembly capable of driving a mechanical claw to rotate and move in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. The mechanical claw assembly is arranged on a moving part of the adjusting assembly. The control module controls the walking mechanism, the grabbing mechanism and the collecting mechanism to cooperatively act. The fruit and vegetable picking robot can recognize road conditions and fruits, avoid roadblocks and accurately recognize the fruits, the mechanical claw assembly is driven by the adjusting assembly to rotate, ascend, descend and translate, the fruits can be accurately picked, the picking efficiency is improved, automatic control is achieved, the labor intensity is reduced, operation is easy, the safety problem of manual picking is avoided, the labor cost is lowered, and meanwhile, the self structure is reasonable and compact, the production is easy, the processing cost is low, and the economical efficiency is higher.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of robots, in particular to a picking robot used for fruit and vegetable picking. Background technique [0002] Fruit and vegetable picking is a highly seasonal, complex operation with high labor intensity and low efficiency. According to the survey, the labor force used in fruit and vegetable picking operations accounts for 33% to 50% of the labor force used in the entire production process, but at present, most of the fruit picking in my country is still mainly manual picking. Therefore, the research on fruit and vegetable picking robots can alleviate the shortage of rural labor force and save It is of great significance to reduce labor costs and improve the efficiency of fruit and vegetable picking. [0003] Due to the complexity of the picking environment and operation, the degree of automation of fruit picking is still very low. At present, domestic fruit picking is basically done manually. Many problems may aris...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Due to the complexity of the picking environment and operation, the degree of automation of fruit picking is still very low. At present, domestic fruit picking is basically done manually. Many problems may arise in manual picking, such as: low labor efficiency, high labor costs, and high branches. Harvesting is dangerous

[0004] At present, most fruit and vegetable picking robots need to control the picking tools to work, and the accuracy is low, which leads to slow picking speed and low efficiency

[0005] Moreover, the existing fruit and vegetable picking robots are relatively professional in use, but most of the objects used are farmers, so the operation of the robot should not be too cumbersome

Furthermore, the income of farmers is limited. When developing robots, it is necessary to reduce the manufacturing cost as much as possible and improve the ease of maintenance. The picking robots on the market are cumbersome to operate and the price is high, which is not suitable for picking by small farmers.
