[0043] The working process of the present application is divided into two working links according to the working links of the device, which are stem conveying link and ear picking link respectively.

The raking chain 3-5 and the extended shaft 3-11 of the gearbox run synchronously to guide the stem and ear to stably pass through the ear picking area, and the picked ear falls onto the buffer guide plate 3-3-1 under the action of the raking chain 3-5 and enters the ear collecting box 3-3-2.

The header angle sensor 3-12 detects the current attitude of the ear picking mechanism 3 in real time and feeds back to the central control system, thereby realizing closed-loop control of the angle adjustment and simulating the ear picking operation state under different angles of the ear picking mechanism 3. During ear picking, the image sensing unit 4 installs the depth camera 4-2 on the rear part of the rack 1 through the fixing rod 4-1, and can collect the height, attitude and spatial phenotype information of the ear in real time. The collected visual information and the mechanical sensing unit (six-component force sensor 2-6, three-component force sensor 3-6-4 and torque sensor 3-10) are transmitted to the intelligent control platform 6 synchronously. The intelligent control platform 6 is the core control and decision module of the whole machine, including a central controller, an image processing module, a mechanical and motion parameter processing module and a header angle processing module. The image processing module uses a depth image algorithm to identify the position and height information of the ear and extract the phenotype parameters. The mechanical and motion parameter processing module analyzes the force, torque and motion data from the sensor. The header angle processing module adjusts the output of the servo cylinder 5-2 according to the angle sensor signal in real time, thereby realizing adaptive adjustment of the attitude of the ear picking mechanism 3.The central controller fuses the multi-source sensing information according to a preset "fruit cluster height-rolling speed of the stem pulling roller-clearance of the fruit picking plate-angle of the fruit picking mechanism-collision force" coupling model, automatically outputs an optimal working parameter combination, and realizes self-adaptive regulation and control of the working parameters through the control of the driving motor 3-2, the clearance adjusting motor 3-6-9, the servo electric cylinder 5-2 and other actuators; during the test, the system can record multi-source signal data such as force, image, angle and rotating speed in real time, transmit the data results to the preset coupling model, realize learning and updating of the model, and display the working state, the force curve and the fruit cluster movement trajectory through the man-machine interaction interface 6-2; all the test data are collected by the control cabinet 6-1 and automatically stored, and can be used for subsequent fruit picking mechanism analysis and working parameter optimization research.
