[0033] The present invention removes weeds with roots and soil through the collecting shovel 60, and removes weeds in the soil through the grabbing device 40, thereby fundamentally solving the problem of weeding and achieving a better weeding effect.

[0034] In this embodiment, the walking wheel set 20 can adopt the wheel structure in CN118614250A, or the track wheel structure disclosed in CN111731400A. The controller can adopt the control terminal in CN118614250A. The longitudinal push rod 50 adopts an electric push rod.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, see Figure 7 , 8 The collection shovel 60 includes a connecting frame 61, a connecting plate 63, a blade 64 and an opening and closing push rod 66. One end of the connecting frame 61 is connected to the output end of the swing steering gear 51, and the other end is installed with a connecting plate 63. The connecting plate 63 has three installation grooves arranged in a triangular shape. The blade 64 is provided with an articulated sleeve 65. The articulated sleeves 65 of the three blades 64 are respectively located in the installation grooves. The articulated sleeve 65 and the installation groove are hinged by a pivot. The connecting plate 63 is respectively hingedly installed with an opening and closing push rod 66 at the positions corresponding to the three blades 64, and the opening and closing push rod 66 is hinged to the blade 64. The blade 64 is in a triangular structure. When the three blades 64 are closed under the action of the opening and closing push rod 66, they are in a triangular pyramid structure. In this embodiment, the opening and closing push rod 66 is an electric push rod.

[0036] When the opening and closing push rod 66 is fully extended, the collection shovel 60 is opened, that is, the three shovel blades 64 are opened. Figure 7 When the opening and closing push rod 66 is completely shortened, the collection shovel 60 is closed, that is, the three blades 64 are in a triangular pyramid state close to each other; see Figure 6The two opening and closing push rods 66 on the upper side can be further extended to further open the two shovel blades 64 on the upper side, making it easier for the grabbing device 40 to grab weeds. Of course, at this time, the shovel blade 64 on the lower side is in a horizontal state.

[0037] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 The channel 14 is triangular in shape and is matched with the blade 64 on the lower side of the collection shovel 60. The blade 64 can be perfectly aligned with the channel 14 to play a temporary bearing role.

[0038] Further, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the angle at which the collecting shovel 60 is inserted into the soil, see Figure 8 A rotary steering gear 62 is also installed between the connecting frame 61 and the connecting plate 63. The rotary steering gear 62 is used to drive the connecting plate 63 to rotate, thereby adjusting the entry angle of the collecting shovel 60 into the soil.

[0039] In this embodiment, see Figure 5 The grabbing device 40 includes a first rotating seat 41, a first mechanical arm 42 and a mechanical claw 43. The first rotating seat 41 is installed in the rear compartment 12, the first mechanical arm 42 is installed on the first rotating seat 41, and the mechanical claw 43 is installed at the free end of the first mechanical arm 42. The first rotating seat 41 and the first mechanical arm 42 can adopt the first rotating seat and rocker arm device disclosed in CN210551218U, and the mechanical claw 43 can adopt a multifunctional clamping mechanical claw disclosed in CN206982703U. When in use, the mechanical claw 43 is used to push away the soil and grab the weeds in the soil.

[0040] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 , 6 A support rod 52 is installed on the outer wall of the longitudinal push rod 50, and the support rod 52 is located above the collection shovel 60. The second image acquisition device 72 is installed on the lower side of the support rod 52. The second image acquisition device 72 is used to identify weeds through the channel 14 and align the weeds with the channel 14. After the collection shovel 60 takes out the soil with weeds, the second image acquisition device 72 identifies the position of the weeds in the soil and controls the action of the mechanical claw 43 so that the mechanical claw 43 takes out the weeds in the soil.

[0041] Embodiment 2: Based on Example 1, see Figure 1 , 2 A drug injection mechanism 30 is also installed in the rear chamber 12, and the drug injection mechanism 30 is used to inject drugs into the soil collected in the collecting shovel 60 to control or kill weeds in the soil, and further prevent the regeneration of grass roots that are not cleaned up and the growth of weed seedlings.

[0042] In this embodiment, see Figure 4The injection mechanism 30 includes a second rotating seat 31, a second mechanical arm 32, an injection device 33 and an injection head 34. The second rotating seat 31 is installed in the rear chamber 12, the second mechanical arm 32 is installed on the second rotating seat 31, the injection device 33 is installed at the free end of the second mechanical arm 32, and the injection head 34 is installed at the injection end of the injection device 33. In this embodiment, the second rotating seat 31 and the second mechanical arm 32 adopt the same structure as the first rotating seat 41 and the first mechanical arm 42.

[0043] In this embodiment, the injection device 33 can be installed at the free end of the second mechanical arm 32 by conventional technical means, such as a clamp structure. The injection device 33 is electrically connected to the controller and is controlled and powered by the controller.

[0044] In one of the schemes, see Figure 4 The injection device 33 is an electric injector, for example, a high-efficiency electric injector disclosed in CN211461597U is used.

[0045] In another embodiment, see Fig. 9 The injection device 33 includes a housing 331, a micro water pump 332 and a medicine box 333. The injection head 34 is installed at one end of the housing 331. A plurality of micro water pumps 332 and a corresponding number of medicine boxes 333 are installed on the housing 331. The water inlets of the medicine boxes 333 and the micro water pumps 332 are connected one by one through pipes 335. The water outlets of the micro water pumps 332 are connected to the injection head 34 through pipes 335. A check valve 336 is installed on the pipes 335 connecting the micro water pumps 332 and the injection head 34. The medicine box 333 is provided with a medicine adding port 334. The micro water pumps 332 are connected to the controller for power supply and control. Through the above structure, different kinds of medicines are added to each medicine box 333, so as to adapt to different weeds in a targeted manner. When one of the medicines needs to be injected, the corresponding micro pump 332 is started to pump out the medicine in the medicine box 333, and the medicine is sprayed out from the injection head 34 after passing through the one-way valve 336. The setting of the other one-way valves 336 can prevent the medicine from flowing back. In actual application, a closing cover is installed on the medicine adding port 334, and a micro hole is set on the closing cover. The pressure in the medicine box 333 is balanced through the micro hole, and the medicine does not leak out.

[0046] Embodiment 3: On the basis of Example 1, a method for automatic lawn weeding based on vision recognition is provided, which adopts the automatic lawn weeding device based on vision recognition. The method for automatic weeding includes the following steps.

[0047] S1: The device is placed on the artificial lawn, and the device moves on the artificial lawn according to a preset path, similar to the movement of a sweeping robot. At this time, the collection shovel 60 is adjusted by the swing steering gear 51, and the collection shovel 60 is in the axial direction of the longitudinal push rod 50.

[0048] S2: The first image acquisition device 71 identifies the weeds on the artificial lawn. When weeds are found, the device moves to the top of the weeds, and identifies the weeds under the channel 14 through the second image acquisition device 72 to align the weeds with the channel 14.

[0049] S3: the collecting shovel 60 is opened, the longitudinal push rod 50 is extended, and the collecting shovel 60 is inserted into the soil downwards. In this process, when the opening and closing push rod 66 is fully extended, the three shovel blades 64 are opened.

[0050] S4: after the collecting shovel 60 is inserted into a section of depth, the collecting shovel 60 is closed, and the longitudinal push rod 50 is retracted afterwards, and soil and weeds are lifted. In this process, when the opening and closing push rod 66 is all shortened, the collecting shovel 60 is closed.

[0051] S5: After the collection shovel 60 leaves the soil, the swing steering engine 51 is actuated to adjust the axial direction of the collection shovel 60 in the longitudinal push rod 50 to be perpendicular to the axial direction of the longitudinal push rod 50, and then the longitudinal push rod 50 is further retracted to make the bottom side of the collection shovel 60 flush with the rear chamber 12, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 , 2 shown.

[0052] S6: See Figure 6-8 The upper side of the collecting shovel 60 is opened, that is, the two upper blades 64 are opened under the action of the opening and closing push rod 66, and the weeds in the collecting shovel 60 are identified by the second image acquisition device 72, and the grasping device 40 is controlled to start, and the mechanical claw 43 of the grasping device 40 pushes away the soil, and takes out the weeds in the collecting shovel 60 and puts them into the collecting bin 13.

[0053] S7: The upper side of the collection shovel 60 is closed to shape the soil, and the swing steering engine 51 is operated to adjust the collection shovel 60 to the axial direction of the longitudinal push rod 50.

[0054] S8: the longitudinal push rod 50 extends downward to put the soil back into the lawn, and then the collecting shovel 60 is opened to backfill the original turf, the longitudinal push rod 50 retracts, and the collecting shovel 60 is retracted into the rear chamber 12.

[0055] When the soil needs to be flattened, the servo 51 is swung to adjust the shovel 60 in the axial direction of the longitudinal push rod 50 to be perpendicular to the axial direction of the longitudinal push rod 50, such as Figure 3 As shown, the longitudinal push rod 50 then reciprocates and extends, and the collecting shovel 60 impacts the soil, so that the soil and grass are flattened by the collecting shovel 60.

[0056] Embodiment 4: On the basis of Example 2, in order to further control or kill weeds in the soil and prevent the regeneration of grass roots that have not been cleaned up and the growth of weed seedlings, after the step of taking out the weeds in the soil in the collecting shovel 60 and before the step of closing the collecting shovel 60 to shape the soil, there is also a step of injecting medicine into the soil through the medicine injection mechanism 30.

[0057] Specifically, the injection mechanism 30 injects a certain amount of medicine into the soil through the injection device 33 according to the visually identified weed species. Direct injection into the soil after the weeds are pulled out can directly kill the remaining roots and prevent the remaining roots from growing again. It is faster and more effective than spraying the medicine from the outside.
