[0002] Chrysanthemum is one of the ten famous flowers in my country. It is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Asteraceae family. It can be used for viewing, daily drinking and Chinese medicinal materials. It has the effects of lowering blood pressure, improving eyesight and refreshing the mind. The existing methods of picking chrysanthemums are mainly manual harvesting and mechanical harvesting. When picking manually, workers need to hold a picker to pick the chrysanthemum flowers and chrysanthemum embryos in batches. The labor intensity is high and the picking efficiency is low.

However, the chrysanthemum flowers and chrysanthemum embryos are mixed together in the picked chrysanthemums, and there are also many leaves and branches mixed in. The inclusion rate is high and it is not suitable for medicinal or drinking chrysanthemums.

[0018] The present invention provides a harvesting method for a chrysanthemum layered harvesting device, which is specifically as follows:

[0019] Step 1: Each lifting mechanism synchronously drives the frame to rise and fall to the picking height of the target chrysanthemum, and then each walking mechanism drives the corresponding lifting mechanism to drive the frame forward.

[0020] Step 2. When the frame moves forward, each driving member drives the corresponding driven gear to drive the planetary frame to rotate around the mounting axis, so that the picking arm, comb picker, collecting arm and collector move in a circular motion around the mounting axis together with the planetary frame. At the same time, the planetary frame drives the picking arm to rotate relative to the planetary frame around the central axis of the planetary gear shaft 1 through the planetary gear train 1, thereby driving the comb picker to move along the motion trajectory 1. The planetary frame also drives the collecting arm to rotate relative to the planetary frame around the central axis of the planetary gear shaft 2 through the planetary gear train 2, thereby driving the collector to move along the motion trajectory 2.

[0021] Step three, as the planetary frame rotates, when the comb-tooth picker moves to the picking starting point in motion trajectory one, the comb-tooth picker enters the harvesting stage, the comb-tooth picker moves below the chrysanthemum canopy, and the branches below the chrysanthemum are embedded in the comb teeth of the comb-tooth picker; when the comb-tooth picker moves to the picking end point in motion trajectory one, the comb-tooth picker moves upward, pulls the chrysanthemum off the branch, completes the picking of a chrysanthemum, and enters the branch pushing stage, the comb-tooth picker pushes the chrysanthemum branches in front forward; when the comb-tooth picker moves to the dumping point in motion trajectory one, the collector moves to the collecting point in motion trajectory two and is located below the comb-tooth picker. At the same time, the driving part two of the picking mechanism drives the picker baffle to open outward, the corresponding spring is stretched, and the chrysanthemum slides out of opening one due to its own gravity and falls into the collector, and then the comb-tooth picker enters During the return stage, the driving part 2 of the picking mechanism stops working after reversing, and the picking device baffle returns to its initial position under the restoring force of the corresponding spring; when the comb picker moves to the preparation point in the motion trajectory 1, the comb picker enters the preparation stage, and the collector has not moved to the conveying point in the motion trajectory 2 at this time; when the collector moves to the conveying point, the comb picker is in the harvesting stage, and at the same time, the driving part 2 of the collecting mechanism drives the guide plate to open outward, and the corresponding spring is stretched. The chrysanthemum slides from the opening 2 to the guide plate due to its own gravity, and slides to the conveyor belt of the conveying mechanism under the guidance of the guide plate, and then the driving part 2 of the collecting mechanism stops working after reversing, and the guide plate returns to its initial position under the restoring force of the corresponding spring; the conveying mechanism drives the chrysanthemum to be transported backward until it falls into the collection basket placed on the frame and located at the output end of the conveying mechanism.

[0022] Step 4: As the frame moves forward, repeat steps 2 and 3 until all chrysanthemums are harvested, and each walking mechanism stops working.

[0023] Step 5: Each lifting mechanism synchronously drives the frame down to the picking height of chrysanthemum, and then each walking mechanism drives the corresponding lifting mechanism to drive the frame forward. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all chrysanthemums are harvested, and each walking mechanism stops working.

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

[0025] 1. In the present invention, the driving member 1 drives the driving mechanism to drive the picking mechanism to achieve the picking of chrysanthemums, and drives the collecting mechanism to achieve the collection and transportation of chrysanthemums; in the present invention, the driving member 1 drives the driven gear to drive the planetary frame to make a circular motion, and the planetary frame drives the comb picker and the collector to make a circular motion together through the picking arm and the collecting arm respectively, and at the same time, the planetary frame drives the picking arm and the comb picker to rotate relative to the planetary frame through the planetary gear train 1, and drives the collecting arm and the collector to rotate relative to the planetary frame through the planetary gear train 2, thereby making the comb picker move according to the motion trajectory 1 to achieve the picking of chrysanthemums, and making the collector move according to the motion trajectory 2 to achieve the collection and transportation of chrysanthemums. The present invention replaces manual work, reduces manual labor intensity, and improves picking efficiency.

[0026] 2. The present invention is provided with a lifting and traveling device. The lifting mechanism in the lifting and traveling device drives the frame to rise and fall according to the different growth heights of the chrysanthemum flowers and chrysanthemum tires, thereby adjusting the frame height, and then adjusting the picking height of the comb picker, thereby realizing layered picking and collection of the chrysanthemum flowers and chrysanthemum tires, reducing the inclusion rate of chrysanthemum picking, and also protecting the chrysanthemums growing below that do not meet the picking requirements (i.e., unopened chrysanthemum buds).

[0027] 3. The power sources of the picking mechanism and the collecting mechanism of the harvesting mechanism of the present invention are the same power source, both of which are driven by the driving member of the harvesting mechanism - the driving mechanism, with low energy consumption, and are suitable for picking chrysanthemums planted over a large area.

[0028] 4. The motion trajectory of the comb picker in the present invention is obtained by testing different picking trajectories through motion capture equipment, and the optimal picking trajectory and posture are selected according to the picking effect. According to the motion trajectory of the comb picker, the frame height and frame movement speed are reasonably adjusted, so that the comb picker can cover a part of the previous harvesting area each time it picks, thereby realizing continuous harvesting of chrysanthemums and avoiding the phenomenon of missed chrysanthemums.

[0064] The present invention provides a harvesting method for a chrysanthemum layered harvesting device, which is specifically as follows:

[0065] Step 1: Each lifting mechanism synchronously drives the frame 5 to rise and fall to the height for picking chrysanthemums, and then each walking mechanism drives the corresponding lifting mechanism to drive the frame 5 forward.

[0066] Step 2: When the frame 5 is moving forward, each driving member drives the corresponding driven gear 34 to drive the planetary frame to rotate around the mounting shaft 32, so that the picking arm 42, the comb picker 47, the collecting arm 46 and the collector 53 move in a circular motion around the mounting shaft 32 along with the planetary frame.

When the comb picker 47 moves to the picking end point P2 in the motion trajectory 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 14As shown, the comb picker 47 moves upward, pulls the chrysanthemum off the branch, completes the picking of the chrysanthemum, and enters the branch pushing stage. The comb picker 47 pushes the chrysanthemum branch in front to move forward, so that the collecting arm 46 drives the collector 53 to move to the bottom of the comb picker 47; when the comb picker 47 moves to the dumping point P3 in the motion trajectory 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 15 As shown, at this time, the collector 53 moves to the collection point E1 in the motion trajectory 2 and is located below the comb picker 47. At the same time, the driving member 2 of the picking mechanism 24 drives the picker baffle 51 to open outward, and the corresponding spring 48 is stretched. The chrysanthemum slides out of the opening 1 due to its own gravity and falls into the collector 53. Then the comb picker 47 enters the return stage. At the same time, the driving member 2 of the picking mechanism 24 stops working after reversing, and the picker baffle 51 returns to its initial position under the restoring force of the corresponding spring 48. When the comb picker 47 moves to the preparation point P4 in the motion trajectory 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 16 As shown, the comb picker 47 enters the preparation stage, at which time the collector 53 has not moved to the delivery point E2 in the motion trajectory 2; when the collector 53 moves to the delivery point E2, as shown in FIG. Figure 17 As shown, the comb picker 47 is in the harvesting stage, the driving member 2 of the collecting mechanism 25 drives the guide plate 54 to open outward, the corresponding spring 48 is stretched, and the chrysanthemum slides from the opening 2 to the guide plate 54 due to its own gravity, and slides onto the conveyor belt 62 of the conveying mechanism 18 through the guidance of the guide plate 54, and then the driving member 2 of the collecting mechanism 25 reverses and stops working, and the guide plate 54 returns to its initial position under the restoring force of the corresponding spring 48; the conveying mechanism 18 drives the chrysanthemum to be transported backward until it falls into the collecting basket 19 placed on the frame 5 and located at the output end of the conveying mechanism 18.

[0068] Step 4: As the frame 5 moves forward, repeat steps 2 and 3 until all chrysanthemums are harvested, and each traveling mechanism stops working.

[0069] Step 5. Each lifting mechanism synchronously drives the frame 5 down to the picking height of chrysanthemum (due to factors such as light, the growth height of the flower chrysanthemum is higher than the growth height of the fetal chrysanthemum, and the growth height of the fetal chrysanthemum is higher than the growth height of the unopened chrysanthemum buds), and then each walking mechanism drives the corresponding lifting mechanism to drive the frame 5 forward, repeating steps 2 and 3 until all the chrysanthemums are harvested, and each walking mechanism stops working.

[0070] Among them, the motion trajectory of the comb picker 47 is tested by using motion capture equipment to conduct a picking trajectory test, and the picking trajectory and posture of the picking worker holding the comb picker 47 when picking chrysanthemums on the chrysanthemum canopy are tested, mainly including the posture points (position and posture) when the comb picker 47 enters the chrysanthemum canopy, the posture points of the comb picker 47 under the chrysanthemum canopy, the posture points when the comb picker 47 leaves the chrysanthemum canopy and the posture points when the comb picker 47 dumps the chrysanthemums. By trying different picking trajectories and comb picker postures, a trajectory optimization model is established, and the influence of parameter changes on trajectory shape changes is summarized. The optimal picking trajectory and posture of the comb picker 47 are determined according to the picking effect, and the optimal collection trajectory of the collector 53 is selected without interfering with the movement of the comb picker 47. Figure 12 As shown, in the motion trajectory 1 of the comb picker 47, the P1P2 section is the harvesting stage, the P2P3 section is the branch pushing stage, the P3P4 section is the return stage, and the P4P1 section is the preparation stage. Point P1 is the starting point of picking, point P2 is the end point of picking, point P3 is the dumping point, and point P4 is the preparation point. In the motion trajectory 2 of the collector 53, point E1 is the collecting point, and point E2 is the conveying point.

[0071] According to the design of the picking trajectory of the comb picker 47 and the forward speed of the frame 5, the moving trajectory of the comb picker 47 picking chrysanthemums can be obtained, as shown in FIG. Figure 18 As shown, the comb picker 47 picks the intersection of the trajectories ( Figure 18 The height of the triangular mark shown in the figure should be lower than the height of the chrysanthemum canopy surface line. The height of the frame 5 is adjusted by the lifting mechanism so that the intersection of the picking trajectory of the comb picker 47 is located below the chrysanthemum canopy surface line, thereby ensuring that the comb picker 47 can cover a part of the last harvesting area each time it picks, thereby achieving continuous harvesting of chrysanthemums and avoiding missing chrysanthemums.

At the same time, the planetary frame drives the picking arm to rotate relative to the planetary frame around the central axis of the planetary gear shaft 1 through the planetary gear train 1, thereby driving the comb picker to move along the motion trajectory 1.
