DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0021] See also Figures 1 to 5In an embodiment of the present invention, a device for picking crops using a multifunctional flexible mechanical arm includes a carriage 1, a driving seat 6 arranged on one side of the carriage 1, and a flexible mechanical arm 7 installed on the driving seat 6. The carriage 1 is driven by an agricultural vehicle, a driving mechanism is arranged on one side of the carriage 1, and the driving mechanism is transmission-connected with the driving seat 6. A plurality of collecting baskets 8 are arranged in the carriage 1, and a clamping mechanism is arranged on the flexible mechanical arm 7. The clamping mechanism includes a shell 10, and two slide seats 11 are slidably installed inside the shell 10. A first transmission assembly for driving the two slide seats 11 to move synchronously in opposite directions is arranged in the shell 10. The two slide seats 11 are arranged in a first transmission assembly. An arc-shaped clamping plate 15 is fixedly installed on one side, and the two arc-shaped clamping plates 15 are arranged opposite to each other. A positioning plate 17 is fixedly installed on the other side of the two slide seats 11. A distance measuring element 18 is installed on the positioning plate 17. The distance measuring element 18 adopts an infrared distance measuring sensor to measure the distance between the two positioning plates 17. A rotating cylinder 26 is arranged below the shell 10, and a plurality of impact columns 29 are arranged on the outer side of the rotating cylinder 26. The impact columns 29 are connected to the rotating cylinder 26 through an elastic connecting belt 30. A second transmission component for driving the rotating cylinder 26 to rotate is arranged below the shell 10; when in use, the device is moved to the picking area through the carriage 1, and the visual system The system automatically identifies the crops to be picked, and then moves the clamping mechanism to the picking position through the flexible mechanical arm 7, so that the two arc-shaped clamping plates 15 are located on both sides of the stem of the crop, and then drives the two slides 11 to approach each other through the first transmission component, so that the two arc-shaped clamping plates 15 clamp the stem of the crop, and then pulls out the crop through the flexible mechanical arm 7. After the crop is pulled out of the soil, the rotating cylinder 26 rotates under the drive of the second transmission component. When the rotating cylinder 26 rotates, under the action of centrifugal force, the impact column 29 overcomes the pulling force of the elastic connecting belt 30 and moves in a direction away from the rotating cylinder 26, so that the impact column 29 hits the root system of the crop, thereby The debris attached to the crops is broken up and falls off. While the rotating drum 26 rotates, the flexible mechanical arm 7 can be controlled to swing slightly, so that the root system of the crops can swing, further improving the cleaning effect of the debris. After the arc-shaped clamping plate 15 clamps the stem of the crop stably, the distance between the two positioning plates 17 is detected by the distance measuring element 18, so as to calculate the diameter of the stem of the crop clamped by the arc-shaped clamping plate 15. Then, according to the grading range and in coordination with the drive seat 6, the crops are placed in the collecting basket 8 through the flexible mechanical arm 7, so that the crops can be automatically graded after picking is completed, without the need for subsequent manual or additional equipment for grading, thereby improving the picking efficiency.
[0022] The present solution uses the flexible mechanical arm 7 to move the gripping mechanism to the picking position, and has high operational flexibility. The flexible mechanical arm 7 can simulate the movements of a human arm and can accurately reach the position of the stem of a crop in a complex farmland environment. Compared with the traditional fixed picking device, the application of the flexible mechanical arm 7 makes the picking process more flexible and diverse, and can adapt to various terrains and crop planting methods. By providing a plurality of impact columns 29 on the outside of the rotating cylinder 26, when the rotating cylinder 26 rotates, the centrifugal force causes the impact columns 29 to overcome the pulling force of the elastic connecting belt 30 and move in a direction away from the rotating cylinder 26, thereby impacting the root system of the crop. This design can effectively break up the debris attached to the crops and make the debris fall off more thoroughly. Compared with the traditional device that only relies on vibration to clean the soil, the present solution has a better cleaning effect, and is particularly suitable for crops with well-developed root systems. Moreover, while the rotating cylinder 26 rotates, the flexible mechanical arm 7 can be controlled to swing slightly. The root system of the crops also follows the swing, and this action further improves the cleaning effect of the debris, ensuring that the debris at the roots of the crops is removed as much as possible. Through this multi-dimensional cleaning method, the cleanliness of the crops after picking is greatly improved, providing better quality assurance for subsequent processing and sales; and after the arc-shaped clamping plate 15 clamps the stem of the crop stably, the distance between the two positioning plates 17 can be detected by the distance measuring element 18, so as to calculate the diameter of the stem of the crop clamped by the arc-shaped clamping plate 15. This measurement method is accurate and reliable, and can provide accurate data basis for subsequent grading. According to the grading range, in conjunction with the drive of the drive seat 6, the crops can be placed in the collection basket 8 through the flexible mechanical arm 7, without the need for subsequent manual or additional equipment for grading, which greatly simplifies the operation process and improves the overall picking efficiency. At the same time, automatic grading can also ensure the accuracy and consistency of grading, thereby improving the market value of agricultural products.
