[0015] The fruit and vegetable handling method of the double-layer folding, gauge and height adjustable fruit and vegetable transporter of the present invention is as follows:

[0016] Step 1. The staff adjusts the height of the main frame through the height adjustment device according to the requirements. The specific process is as follows: When it is necessary to increase the height of the main frame, rotate the rocking bar reciprocally. Among them, when rotating the rocking bar clockwise, the first ratchet pawl abuts against the ratchet wheel and drives the ratchet wheel to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the third lead screw to rotate clockwise. The second nut block moves upward along the third lead screw, thereby driving the corresponding first cylindrical rod to rise, and the main frame rises. When rotating the rocking bar counterclockwise, the second ratchet pawl first jumps into the next ratchet slot along the counterclockwise direction of the ratchet wheel, and then the first ratchet pawl jumps into the next ratchet slot of the ratchet wheel. In this way, the second ratchet pawl and the first ratchet pawl continuously and sequentially jump into the next ratchet tooth along the counterclockwise direction of the ratchet wheel, and the angle of the ratchet wheel rotating counterclockwise can be ensured to be very small each time the rocking bar is rotated counterclockwise. When it is necessary to lower the height of the main frame, the staff holds the main frame and controls the electromagnet 2 to be energized through the controller. The push rod of the electromagnet 2 rises and pushes the first ratchet pawl and the second ratchet pawl to rise until they disengage from the ratchet wheel, and the compression spring is compressed. The staff lowers the main frame to make the second nut block move downward, driving the third lead screw and the ratchet wheel to rotate counterclockwise. After the main frame descends to the appropriate position, the controller controls each electromagnet 2 to be powered off. The push rod of the electromagnet 2 descends and disengages from the first ratchet pawl. At the same time, the restoring force of the compression spring pushes the first ratchet pawl and the second ratchet pawl to move downward until they are embedded in the ratchet slots of the ratchet wheel to complete self-locking.

[0017] Step 2. The controller controls the drive motors of the two crawler mechanisms to rotate synchronously according to the communication signals of the UWB device, and then drives each crawler mechanism to follow the staff to move forward to the field area to be harvested. The staff places the harvested fruits and vegetables on the conveyor belt.

[0018] Step 3. Repeat Step 2. During the repetition process, if fruits and vegetables cannot be continuously placed on the conveyor belt, then execute Step 4.

[0019] Step 4. Manually pull the lower platform outwards. The gas springs extend, and each rotating plate swings upwards, driving the upper platform and the lower platform to rise. At the same time, the moving bracket slides outwards along the U-shaped chute on the fixed bracket until the upper platform is located below the output end of the conveyor belt and the gas springs are in a fully extended state. Then, pull out the pin, rotate the baffle to be inclined downwards and contact the limit plate. Then, control the driving motor to work through the controller. The driving motor drives the transmission shaft to rotate, and then drives the conveyor belt to rotate, transporting the fruits and vegetables on the conveyor belt to the upper platform through the baffle. After the fruits and vegetables on the conveyor belt are transported, control the driving motor to stop working through the controller. Manually push the lower platform inwards. The gas springs contract, and each rotating plate swings downwards, driving the upper platform and the lower platform to descend. At the same time, the moving bracket slides inwards along the U-shaped chute on the fixed bracket. During the descent of the upper platform and the lower platform, they always maintain a horizontal state. After descending to the lowest position, if the collection box is full of fruits and vegetables, perform Step 5; otherwise, continue to push the lower platform inwards. When the two sides of the upper platform respectively contact the rollers at the upper ends of the two triangular top plates on both sides, the upper platform rotates upwards around the hinge with the lower platform under the action of the two triangular top plates. After the upper platform is tilted, the fruits and vegetables on it slide down along the upper platform under the action of their own gravity and fall into the collection box through the guide plate.

[0020] Step 5. Repeat Step 2. During the repetition, if fruits and vegetables cannot be placed on the conveyor belt continuously, perform Steps 6 to 8.

[0021] Step 6. Control each servo motor to rotate through the controller. The servo motor drives the first lead screw to rotate. The moving bracket drives the crawler mechanism to move upwards along the first lead screw. The turning rods integrally formed on both sides of the moving bracket drive the moving blocks to move upwards to the upper end of the main bracket through the two second wedges. At the same time, the first spring is further compressed. When the inclined surfaces of the two second wedges contact the corresponding inclined surfaces of the first wedges, the two second wedges extend into the corresponding cylindrical holes on the moving blocks. Then, the moving bracket continues to move upwards. When the turning rods on both sides of the moving bracket are higher than the two second wedges, the moving blocks move downwards to the lower end of the main bracket under the action of the restoring force of the first spring and their own gravity. At the same time, the two second wedges extend out under the restoring force of the two first springs. Then, control the two electromagnets I to be energized through the controller. The push rods of the two electromagnets I push the two limit blocks to extend out. At this time, the two limit blocks are respectively located above the two second wedges, preventing the moving blocks from moving upwards. The rollers at the bottom end of the roller bracket contact the ground, and the crawler mechanism does not contact the ground, completing the switching of the moving device from longitudinal movement to lateral movement.

[0022] Step 7: The staff unfolds the unfolding frame through the width self-locking device. The specific process is as follows: Manually rotate the rocker. The rocker drives the second lead screw to rotate through the lock sleeve. The first nut block drives the unfolding platform, the height adjustment device and the moving device at the bottom of the unfolding frame to unfold outward along the second lead screw together. After unfolding, the clamping force of the clamping spring restricts the reverse rotation of the second lead screw to achieve self-locking.

[0023] Step 8: Control the two electromagnets 1 to power off through the controller, and the push rods of the two electromagnets 1 push the two limit blocks to retract; then, control each servo motor to rotate through the controller. The servo motor drives the first lead screw to rotate, so that the moving bracket drives the crawler mechanism to move downward along the first lead screw until the crawler mechanism contacts the ground. When the servo motor continues to rotate, the main bracket drives the moving block to move upward until the inclined surfaces of the two second wedges respectively contact the turning rods on both sides of the moving bracket. The two second wedges extend into the corresponding cylindrical holes on the moving block and cross the turning rods on both sides of the moving bracket. Then, the two second wedges extend under the restoring force of the two first springs. At this time, the rollers at the bottom of the roller bracket do not contact the ground, completing the switching of the moving device from horizontal movement to vertical movement. The staff places the fruits and vegetables on the unfolding platform. When the unfolding platform can no longer place fruits and vegetables, the harvesting operation ends.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0025] 1. The present invention has the functions of double - layer folding and unfolding, adjustable gauge and height. When fruits and vegetables can no longer be placed on the upper conveyor belt, the fruits and vegetables are conveyed to the collection box through the second platform device below. When the collection box is full of fruits and vegetables, and the upper conveyor belt and the second platform device can still load fruits and vegetables, and when both the upper conveyor belt and the second platform device are loaded with fruits and vegetables, the unfolding platform can be unfolded from the side to further expand the volume to load more fruits and vegetables, greatly improving the storage volume for a single - departure handling. Among them, when the upper platform of the second platform device slides outwards and unfolds to below the output end of the upper conveyor belt and then folds back to the initial position, due to being driven by a parallelogram mechanism, it can always maintain a horizontal state. When adjusting the height, if the rocking rod rotates clockwise, the first pawl and the second pawl act on the ratchet wheel to ensure that the main frame can only rise unidirectionally. If the rocking rod rotates counter - clockwise, the first pawl and the second pawl alternately engage into the ratchet slots of the ratchet wheel to ensure that the angle of the ratchet wheel rotating counter - clockwise is very small, so as to ensure that the main frame can relatively stably maintain its original height position. And when the electromagnet two pushes the first pawl and the second pawl to rise and disengage from the ratchet wheel, the main frame and the unfolding platform can be lowered. When adjusting the gauge, first, the track mechanism is lifted off the ground through the conversion mechanism, and the rolling wheels in the conversion mechanism touch the ground. The rolling direction of the rolling wheels is horizontal, realizing the switching of the moving device from longitudinal movement to lateral movement, preparing for the unfolding of the unfolding platform, solving the difficulty of the lateral movement of the track mechanism, and reducing the damage to the tracks. Through the width self - locking device, after the unfolding platform of the unfolding frame device is unfolded, the pressing forces at both ends of the clamping spring of the unfolding frame device can limit the reverse rotation of the lead screw one to achieve self - locking. It can be seen that the conversion mechanism, the unfolding frame device and the width self - locking device realize the adjustable gauge between the two track mechanisms and the unfolding of the unfolding platform.

[0026] 2. After the upper platform of the second platform device in the present invention returns to the initial position and is further pushed inwards for a certain distance, it contacts the two rollers on both sides respectively, and under the action of the two triangular top plates, it rotates upwards around the hinge with the lower platform, and can automatically become an inclined state, so that the fruits and vegetables on it slide down under the action of their own gravity and fall into the collection box through the guide plate to complete the collection.

[0027] 3. The present invention is also provided with a UWB device. The controller can control the drive motors of the two track mechanisms to rotate synchronously according to the communication signals of the UWB device, and then drive each track mechanism to follow the staff to move forward to the field area to be harvested, realizing the intelligent following function.

[0051] The fruit and vegetable handling method of the present invention is as follows:

[0052] Step 1. The staff adjusts the height of the main frame 1-6 through the height adjustment device 4 according to the requirements. The specific process is as follows: When it is necessary to increase the height of the main frame 1-6, rotate the rocking bar 4-1 reciprocally; among them, when rotating the rocking bar 4-1 clockwise (viewed from top to bottom), the first pawl 4-3 abuts against the ratchet wheel 4-6 and drives the ratchet wheel 4-6 to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the lead screw three 4-2 to rotate clockwise, and the nut block two 4-9 moves upward along the lead screw three 4-2, thereby driving the corresponding cylindrical rod one to rise, and the main frame 1-6 rises; when rotating the rocking bar 4-1 counterclockwise, the second pawl 4-4 first jumps into the next ratchet slot of the ratchet wheel 4-6 in the counterclockwise direction, and then the first pawl 4-3 jumps into the next ratchet slot of the ratchet wheel 4-6. In this way, the second pawl 4-4 and the first pawl 4-3 continuously and sequentially jump into the next ratchet tooth of the ratchet wheel 4-6 in the counterclockwise direction, and the angle of the ratchet wheel 4-6 rotating counterclockwise can be ensured to be very small each time the rocking bar 4-1 is rotated counterclockwise; when it is necessary to decrease the height of the main frame 1-6, the staff holds the main frame 1-6 and controls the electromagnet two 4-8 to be energized through the controller. The push rod of the electromagnet two 4-8 rises and pushes the first pawl 4-3 and the second pawl 4-4 to rise until they are disengaged from the ratchet wheel 4-6, and the compression spring is compressed. The staff lowers the main frame 1-6 to make the nut block two 4-9 move downward, driving the lead screw three 4-2 and the ratchet wheel 4-6 to rotate counterclockwise. After the main frame 1-6 descends in place, the controller controls each electromagnet two 4-8 to be powered off. The push rod of the electromagnet two 4-8 descends and is disengaged from the first pawl 4-3. At the same time, the restoring force of the compression spring pushes the first pawl 4-3 and the second pawl 4-4 to move downward until they are embedded in the ratchet slots of the ratchet wheel 4-6 to complete self-locking.

[0053] Step 2. The controller controls the drive motors of the two crawler mechanisms to rotate synchronously according to the communication signal of the UWB device 7, and then drives each crawler mechanism to follow the staff to move forward to the field area to be harvested. The staff places the harvested fruits and vegetables on the conveyor belt 1-2.

[0054] Step 3. Repeat Step 2. During the repetition process, if fruits and vegetables cannot be continuously placed on the conveyor belt 1-2, then execute Step 4.

[0055] Step 4. Manually pull the lower platform 5-2 outwards. The gas springs 5-3 extend, and each rotating plate 5-9 swings upwards, driving the upper platform 5-1 and the lower platform 5-2 to rise. At the same time, the moving bracket 5-5 slides outwards along the U-shaped chute on the fixed bracket 5-4 until the upper platform 5-1 is located below the output end of the conveyor belt 1-2, and the gas springs 5-3 are in a fully extended state. Then, pull out the pin, rotate the baffle 1-5 to be inclined downwards and contact the limit plate. Then, control the drive motor 1-1 to work through the controller. The drive motor 1-1 drives the drive shaft 1-3 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 1-2 to rotate, and transporting the fruits and vegetables on the conveyor belt 1-2 to the upper platform 5-1 through the baffle 1-5. After the fruits and vegetables on the conveyor belt 1-2 are transported, control the drive motor 1-1 to stop working through the controller. Manually push the lower platform 5-2 inwards. The gas springs 5-3 contract, and each rotating plate 5-9 swings downwards, driving the upper platform 5-1 and the lower platform 5-2 to descend. At the same time, the moving bracket 5-5 slides inwards along the U-shaped chute on the fixed bracket 5-4. During the descent of the upper platform 5-1 and the lower platform 5-2, they always maintain a horizontal state. After descending to the lowest position, if the collection box 5-7 is full of fruits and vegetables, execute Step 5, otherwise continue to push the lower platform 5-2 inwards. When the two sides of the upper platform 5-1 respectively contact the rollers at the upper ends of the two triangular top plates 5-6, the upper platform 5-1 rotates upwards around the hinge with the lower platform 5-2 under the action of the two triangular top plates 5-6. After the upper platform 5-1 is tilted, the fruits and vegetables on it slide down along the upper platform 5-1 under the action of their own gravity and fall into the collection box 5-7 through the guide plate.

[0056] Step 5. Repeat Step 2. During the repetition, if fruits and vegetables cannot be placed on the conveyor belt 1-2 anymore, execute Steps 6 to 8.

[0057] Step 6: Control the rotation of each servo motor through the controller. The servo motor drives the first lead screw 6-5-2 to rotate, and the moving bracket 6-5-11 drives the crawler mechanism to move upward along the first lead screw 6-5-2. The turning rods integrally formed on both sides of the moving bracket 6-5-11 drive the moving block 6-5-8 to move upward to the upper end of the main bracket 6-5-1 through two second wedges 6-5-4, and at the same time, the first spring 6-5-5 is further compressed; when the inclined surfaces of the two second wedges 6-5-4 come into contact with the inclined surfaces of the corresponding first wedges 6-5-3, the two second wedges 6-5-4 extend into the corresponding columnar holes on the moving block 6-5-8; then, the moving bracket 6-5-11 continues to move upward. When the turning rods on both sides of the moving bracket 6-5-11 are higher than the two second wedges 6-5-4, the moving block 6-5-8 moves downward to the lower end of the main bracket 6-5-1 under the action of the restoring force of the first spring 6-5-5 and its own gravity, and at the same time, the two second wedges 6-5-4 extend out under the restoring force of the two first springs; then, control the energization of the two first electromagnets through the controller. The push rods of the two first electromagnets push the two limit blocks 6-5-7 to extend. At this time, the two limit blocks 6-5-7 are respectively located above the two second wedges 6-5-4, preventing the moving block 6-5-8 from moving upward. The rollers 6-5-9 at the bottom of the roller bracket 6-5-10 are in contact with the ground, and the crawler mechanism is not in contact with the ground, completing the switching of the moving device 6 from longitudinal (the walking direction of the crawler mechanism) movement to lateral (perpendicular to the walking direction of the crawler mechanism) movement, facilitating the unfolding work of the unfolding platform 2-2.

[0058] Step 7: The staff unfolds the frame 2-1 through the width self-locking device 3. The specific process is as follows: Manually rotate the rocker 3-4. The rocker 3-4 drives the second lead screw 3-6 to rotate through the lock sleeve 3-3. The first nut block drives the unfolding platform 2-2, the height adjusting device 4, and the moving device 6 at the bottom of the unfolding frame 2-1 to unfold outward along the second lead screw 3-6. After unfolding, the pressing force of the clamping spring 3-2 restricts the reverse rotation of the second lead screw 3-6 to achieve self-locking.

[0059] Step 8. Control the two electromagnets I to cut off power through the controller, and the push rods of the two electromagnets I push the two limit blocks 6-5-7 to retract; then, control each servo motor to rotate through the controller. The servo motor drives the lead screw I 6-5-2 to rotate, so that the moving bracket 6-5-11 drives the crawler mechanism to move downward along the lead screw I 6-5-2 until the crawler mechanism contacts the ground. When the servo motor continues to rotate, the main bracket 6-5-1 drives the moving block 6-5-8 to move upward until the inclined surfaces of the two second wedge blocks 6-5-4 respectively contact the turning rods on both sides of the moving bracket 6-5-11. The two second wedge blocks 6-5-4 extend into the corresponding columnar holes on the moving block 6-5-8 and cross the turning rods on both sides of the moving bracket 6-5-11. Then, the two second wedge blocks 6-5-4 extend under the restoring force of the two first springs. At this time, the rollers 6-5-9 at the bottom of the roller bracket 6-5-10 do not contact the ground, completing the switching of the moving device 6 from horizontal movement to vertical movement. The staff places the fruits and vegetables on the unfolding platform 2-2. When the unfolding platform 2-2 can no longer place fruits and vegetables, the harvesting operation ends.

7. The fruit and vegetable handling method of the double-layer folding, gauge and height adjustable fruit and vegetable carrier according to claim 5, characterized in that: Specifically as follows: Step 1. The staff adjusts the height of the main frame through the height adjustment device according to the requirements. The specific process is as follows: When it is necessary to increase the height of the main frame, rotate the rocking bar reciprocally. Among them, when rotating the rocking bar clockwise, the first pawl abuts against the ratchet wheel and drives the ratchet wheel to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the third lead screw to rotate clockwise. The second nut block moves upward along the third lead screw, thereby driving the corresponding first cylindrical rod to rise, and the main frame rises. When rotating the rocking bar counterclockwise, the second pawl first jumps into the next ratchet groove along the counterclockwise direction of the ratchet wheel, and then the first pawl jumps into the next ratchet groove of the ratchet wheel. In this way, the second pawl and the first pawl continuously and sequentially jump into the next ratchet tooth along the counterclockwise direction of the ratchet wheel. When it is necessary to lower the height of the main frame, the staff holds the main frame and controls the electromagnet II to be energized through the controller. The push rod of the electromagnet II rises and pushes the first pawl and the second pawl to rise until they are disengaged from the ratchet wheel, and the compression spring is compressed. The staff allows the main frame to descend, causing the second nut block to move downward, driving the third lead screw and the ratchet wheel to rotate counterclockwise. After the main frame descends in place, the controller controls each electromagnet II to be powered off. The push rod of the electromagnet II descends and disengages from the first pawl. At the same time, the restoring force of the compression spring pushes the first pawl and the second pawl to move downward until they are embedded in the ratchet groove of the ratchet wheel to complete self-locking. Step 2. The controller controls the drive motors of the two crawler mechanisms to rotate synchronously according to the communication signals of the UWB device, and then drives each crawler mechanism to follow the staff to move forward to the field area to be harvested. The staff places the harvested fruits and vegetables on the conveyor belt. Step 3. Repeat Step 2. During the repetition process, if fruits and vegetables cannot be continuously placed on the conveyor belt, then execute Step 4. Step 4. Manually pull the lower platform outwards. Each gas spring extends, and each rotating plate swings upward and drives the upper platform and the lower platform to rise. At the same time, the moving bracket slides outwards along the U-shaped chute on the fixed bracket until the upper platform is located below the output end of the conveyor belt, and each gas spring is in a fully extended state. Then, pull out the pin and rotate the baffle to be inclined downward and contact the limit plate. Then, control the drive motor to work through the controller. The drive motor drives the transmission shaft to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt to rotate, and transports the fruits and vegetables on the conveyor belt to the upper platform through the baffle. After the fruits and vegetables on the conveyor belt are transported, control the drive motor to stop working through the controller. Manually push the lower platform inwards. Each gas spring contracts, and each rotating plate swings downward and drives the upper platform and the lower platform to descend. At the same time, the moving bracket slides inwards along the U-shaped chute on the fixed bracket. The upper platform and the lower platform always maintain a horizontal state during the descending process. After descending to the lowest position, if the collection box is full of fruits and vegetables, then execute Step 5. Otherwise, continue to push the lower platform inwards. When the two sides of the upper platform respectively contact the rollers at the upper ends of the two triangular top plates, the upper platform rotates upward around the hinge with the lower platform under the action of the two triangular top plates. After the upper platform is tilted, the fruits and vegetables on it slide down along the upper platform under the action of their own gravity and fall into the collection box through the guide plate. Step 5: Repeat Step 2. During the repetition, if fruits and vegetables can no longer be placed on the conveyor belt, then execute Steps 6 to 8; Step 6: Control the rotation of each servo motor through the controller. The servo motor drives the first lead screw to rotate, and the moving bracket drives the crawler mechanism to move upward along the first lead screw. The turning rods integrally formed on both sides of the moving bracket drive the moving blocks to move upward to the upper end of the main bracket through two second wedges. At the same time, the first spring is further compressed. When the inclined surfaces of the two second wedges come into contact with the inclined surfaces of the corresponding first wedges, the two second wedges extend into the corresponding cylindrical holes on the moving blocks. Then, when the moving bracket continues to move upward and the turning rods on both sides of the moving bracket are higher than the two second wedges, the moving blocks move downward to the lower end of the main bracket under the action of the restoring force of the first spring and their own gravity. At the same time, the two second wedges extend under the restoring force of the two first springs. Then, control the energization of the two electromagnets I through the controller, and the push rods of the two electromagnets I push the two limit blocks to extend. At this time, the two limit blocks are respectively located above the two second wedges to prevent the moving blocks from moving upward. The rollers at the bottom end of the roller bracket are in contact with the ground, and the crawler mechanism is not in contact with the ground; Step 7: The staff unfolds the vehicle frame through the width self-locking device. The specific process is as follows: Manually rotate the rocker. The rocker drives the second lead screw to rotate through the lock sleeve. The first nut block drives the unfolding platform, the height adjustment device, and the moving device at the bottom of the unfolding vehicle frame to unfold outward along the second lead screw. After unfolding, the clamping spring presses to limit the reverse rotation of the second lead screw to achieve self-locking; Step 8: Control the power-off of the two electromagnets I through the controller, and the push rods of the two electromagnets I push the two limit blocks to retract. Then, control the rotation of each servo motor through the controller. The servo motor drives the first lead screw to rotate, so that the moving bracket drives the crawler mechanism to move downward along the first lead screw until the crawler mechanism contacts the ground. When the servo motor continues to rotate, the main bracket drives the moving block to move upward until the inclined surfaces of the two second wedges respectively contact the turning rods on both sides of the moving bracket. The two second wedges extend into the corresponding cylindrical holes on the moving blocks and cross over the turning rods on both sides of the moving bracket. Then, the two second wedges extend under the restoring force of the two first springs. At this time, the rollers at the bottom end of the roller bracket are not in contact with the ground, and the staff places the fruits and vegetables on the unfolding platform. When fruits and vegetables can no longer be placed on the unfolding platform, the harvesting operation ends.
