Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of forestry machinery, in particular to an overhead track type oil-tea fruit harvesting robot system. Background Art

[0002] Camellia oleifera is a unique oil-pressing plant in my country, with a planting area of ​​more than 70 million mu, 80% of which are mainly distributed in mountainous areas with complex site conditions. It has a large oil yield, rich nutrition and is easy to store. The fruit can be used to extract tea oil, and the tea cake can be used as a fertilizer to increase crop yields. However, it is difficult to pick camellia oleifera by manpower alone, the picking efficiency is low, and the labor cost is high. The existing camellia oleifera picking machines on the market are not suitable for complex terrains, and the mechanical equipment is expensive and the picking efficiency is low, which cannot meet the picking needs of farmers.

[0003] Some scholars have proposed using a crawler mechanism as the driving mechanism of the picking machine, and using the picking head to roll back and forth to pick tea fruit. The literature (Gao Zicheng et al., Development and Experiment of the Picking Actuator of the Tooth-comb Tea Fruit Picker [J]. Transactions of the Chinese Society of Agricultural Engineering, 2013, 29(10): 19-25.) proposed using a tooth-comb picking head for picking. The machine consists of a chassis, an engine, a picking mechanism, a suction system, a hydraulic drive system and an electrical control system. The hydraulic system is used to provide power for the picking mechanism and the travel mechanism. Although the tooth-comb picking head can improve the picking efficiency, it causes great damage to the fruit; Application No. CN202210763258.1, titled "A Convenient Picking Machine for Picking Tea Fruit" Portable Camellia Fruit Picking Device", this invention patent discloses a portable harvesting device, which mainly includes a clamping mechanism, an extension mechanism, etc. The clamping mechanism is composed of a clamping finger, a clamping arm, a clamping arm, a clamping motor, a clamping coupling, a clamping screw, a clamping screw nut, a clamping motor bracket, a support table and a pressure sensor. When in use, the extension mechanism can be controlled to retract the clamping mechanism according to the relative position and height of the camellia fruit to be picked for picking. It is easy to carry and has a higher efficiency than traditional manual harvesting, but it is still semi-mechanized picking and is not efficient enough. The invention patent with application number 201310292878.2 and the name of "A Camellia Fruit Picking Method and Camellia Fruit Picking Robot" discloses a camellia fruit picking machine, which includes a chassis, a chassis travel system and a control system for driving the chassis to move. The chassis is equipped with a three-phase asynchronous motor to provide power for the travel system. The crawler-type walking mechanism is used to drive the picking machine, which has a high degree of automation, but has low efficiency when facing large-scale tea-oil picking. The invention patent with application number CN202210310132.9 and titled "A remote-controlled obstacle avoidance device and transport vehicle suitable for electric monorail conveyors" discloses a monorail conveyor, the walking device of which is composed of a moving mechanism and a clamping mechanism. The moving mechanism is connected to the track, and the clamping mechanism is connected to the track and the moving mechanism. The clamping mechanism can adjust the tightness of the moving mechanism and the track to ensure that the track and the moving mechanism will not be separated; but this type of transport machinery mostly uses a single-track transmission structure. The single-track transmission structure is simple, but has poor positioning stability and is easy to shake, making it difficult to meet the precision requirements of the robotic harvesting system. Therefore, designing an automated tea-oil fruit harvesting robot system with high transmission accuracy and the ability to adapt to complex terrain has become an urgent need in my country's forestry machinery field.
