[0042] The invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the invention.
[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 4As shown, the invention provides a gripper for harvesting solanaceous vegetables and fruits, comprising:
[0044] Support mechanism 100;
[0045] The drive mechanism 200 includes a sliding portion 210 and two guide assemblies 220. The sliding portion 210 is slidably connected to the support mechanism 100. The two guide assemblies 220 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sliding portion 210. The guide assemblies 220 include a first front guide wheel 221, a second front guide wheel 222, a first rear guide wheel 223, and a second rear guide wheel 224, all of which are rotatably connected to the support mechanism 100.
[0046] The shearing mechanism 300 includes two scissor levers 310 hingedly connected by a first hinge axis. The inner wall of the front end of the scissor levers 310 is provided with a blade 311. The rear end of the scissor levers 310 includes a first front curved portion 312 and a first rear curved portion 313.
[0047] The clamping mechanism 400 includes two clamping rods 410 hingedly connected by a second hinge axis. The inner wall of the front end of the clamping rod 410 is provided with a clamping surface. The rear end of the clamping rod 410 includes a second front arc portion 411 and a second rear arc portion 412.
[0048] Among them, the shearing mechanism 300 and the clamping mechanism 400 are superimposed on the sliding part 210, the scissor rod 310 is located between the first front guide wheel 221 and the first rear guide wheel 223, the first front arc-shaped portion 312 is in contact with the first front guide wheel 221, and the first rear arc-shaped portion 313 is in contact with the first rear guide wheel 223; the clamping rod 410 is located between the second front guide wheel 222 and the second rear guide wheel 224, the second front arc-shaped portion 411 is in contact with the second front guide wheel 222, and the second rear arc-shaped portion 412 is in contact with the second rear guide wheel 224; the distance from the contact point of the first front arc-shaped portion 312 with the first front guide wheel 221 to the first hinge axis is greater than the distance from the contact point of the second front arc-shaped portion 411 with the second front guide wheel 222 to the second hinge axis.
[0049] It should be noted that, during operation, the harvesting claws approach the fruit stalks so that the fruit stalks fall between the two clamping rods 410. In the process of the sliding part 210 sliding forward, the two clamping rods 410 are closed under the action of the second front guide wheel 222 and the second rear guide wheel 224, and the two scissor rods 310 are closed under the action of the first front guide wheel 221 and the first rear guide wheel 223. Moreover, the closing speed of the two clamping rods 410 is different from that of the two scissor rods 310, ensuring that the clamping rods 410 clamp the fruit stalks first and the scissor rods 310 cut off the fruit stalks later (because the distance from the contact point of the first front arc-shaped part 312 and the first front guide wheel 221 to the first hinge axis is greater than the distance from the contact point of the second front arc-shaped part 411 and the second front guide wheel 222 to the second hinge axis), thereby realizing integrated clamping and cutting harvesting.
[0050] Specifically, this embodiment provides a shearing mechanism 300 and a clamping mechanism 400 connected to the sliding portion 210, the sliding portion 210 slides back and forth relative to the supporting mechanism 100, the scissor rod 310 of the shearing mechanism 300 is located between the first front guide wheel 221 and the first rear guide wheel 223, the first front arc portion 312 contacts the first front guide wheel 221, and the first rear arc portion 313 contacts the first rear guide wheel 223; the clamping rod 410 of the clamping mechanism 400 is located between the second front guide wheel 222 and the second rear guide wheel 224, the second front arc portion 411 contacts the second front guide wheel 222, and the second rear arc portion 412 contacts the second rear guide wheel 224, and the distance from the contact point of the first front arc portion 312 and the first front guide wheel 221 to the first hinge axis is greater than that of the second front arc portion The distance between the contact point between the shaped portion 411 and the second front guide wheel 222 and the second hinge axis is such that during the sliding process of the sliding portion 210, the two clamping rods 410 are driven to close before the two scissor rods 310, so that the clamping rods 410 first grab and clamp the fruit stems and then the scissor rods 310 close to cut the fruit stems. In addition, during the cutting process and after the cutting is completed, the clamping rods 410 always clamp the fruit stems, thereby achieving rapid clamping and cutting while not causing the fruit stems to fall out of the clamping device and damage the fruit, greatly improving the success rate of picking. In addition, during the picking process, the present application only contacts the fruit stems and does not contact the fruit, thereby avoiding damage caused by squeezing the fruit and further improving the success rate of picking. In addition, the structure of this embodiment is simple and compact, which is convenient for picking in small and complex environments. Secondly, the front end of the present application adopts a scissor-like structure, which is conducive to the harvesting claws entering complex and narrow spaces and improving the universality of the picking claws.
[0051] It should be noted that the present application can also adjust the opening angle of the cutting mechanism 300 and the clamping mechanism 400 by changing the shapes of the first front arc portion 312, the first rear arc portion 313, the second front arc portion 411 and the second rear arc portion 412, which is suitable for picking stalks of different fruits and has a wider range of applications.
[0052] Furthermore, the second front arc-shaped portion 411 and the second rear arc-shaped portion 412 form an S-shaped connecting portion, and both ends of the S-shaped connecting portion are respectively disposed on one side of the second front guide wheel 222 and the second rear guide wheel 224 .
[0053] Specifically, the second front arc portion 411 and the second rear arc portion 412 in this embodiment form an S-shaped connecting portion, and the two ends of the S-shaped connecting portion are respectively wrapped on one side of the second front guide wheel 222 and the second rear guide wheel 224, so that the two clamping rods 410 are closed during the forward movement of the sliding block, and after being fully closed, the clamping force of the two clamping rods 410 is further increased under the joint action of the second front guide wheel 222 and the second rear guide wheel 224, which is convenient for clamping the fruit stalks to prevent the fruit stalks from slipping and causing picking failure, thereby further improving the picking success rate.
[0054] Furthermore, the first hinge axis and the second hinge axis are coaxially arranged, and the clamping mechanism 400 is connected to the sliding portion 210 at the second hinge axis.
[0055] Furthermore, the driving mechanism 200 also includes a driving part 230, which is a cylinder.

[0060] In some possible implementations, the diameter of the first front guide wheel 221 is smaller than the diameter of the second front guide wheel 222 , and the diameters of the first rear guide wheel 223 and the second rear guide wheel 224 are the same.
[0061] In some possible implementations, the pulley 240 is rotatably connected to the front bolt 500 via a bearing.
[0062] Furthermore, a rubber anti-slip pad 420 is detachably connected to the clamping surface of the clamping rod 410 .
[0063] Specifically, the rubber anti-skid pad 420 provided in this embodiment is made of a flexible material, which can reduce damage to the fruit stem when clamping, thereby ensuring the beauty of the appearance of the fruit.
[0064] Furthermore, in some possible implementations, the inner wall of the clamping rod 410 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 413 , and the rubber anti-slip pad 420 is provided with a plurality of clamping platforms 421 , which are clamped in the mounting holes 413 .
[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cooperation between the clamping platform 421 and the mounting hole 413 facilitates the rapid installation and removal of the rubber anti-slip pad 420 for replacement.
[0066] Furthermore, the rubber anti-skid pad 420 is provided with an oblique thread.
[0067] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rubber anti-slip pad 420 is provided with an oblique thread, which increases the friction between the clamping part and the fruit stem, reduces the chance of the fruit slipping, and improves the success rate of picking.
[0068] Furthermore, the first front guide wheel 221 and the second front guide wheel 222 are coaxially arranged;
[0069] The first rear guide wheel 223 and the second rear guide wheel 224 are coaxially arranged.
[0070] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first front guide wheel 221 and the second front guide wheel 222 are coaxially arranged, and the first rear guide wheel 223 and the second rear guide wheel 224 are coaxially arranged, thereby making the mechanism of the present application more compact and further facilitating picking in a small space.
[0071] Furthermore, the present application also includes a front bolt 500 and a rear bolt 600 both connected to the support mechanism 100;
[0072] The first front guide wheel 221 and the second front guide wheel 222 are rotatably connected to the front bolt 500 through bearings; the first rear guide wheel 223 and the second rear guide wheel 224 are rotatably connected to the rear bolt 600 through bearings.
[0073] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first front guide wheel 221, the second front guide wheel 222, the first rear guide wheel 223 and the second rear guide wheel 224 are rotatably connected to the support mechanism 100 through bolts and bearings, and the structure is simple.
[0074] Furthermore, the driving mechanism 200 further includes an adjusting portion connected to the front bolt 500 and the rear bolt 600 , and the adjusting portion adjusts the distance between the front bolt 500 and the rear bolt 600 .
[0075] Specifically, this embodiment is provided with an adjustment part for adjusting the distance between the front bolt 500 and the rear bolt 600, and further adjusts the distance between the first front guide wheel 221 and the first rear guide wheel 223 and the distance between the second front guide wheel 222 and the second rear guide wheel 224, so that the opening and closing degree of the cutting mechanism 300 and the clamping mechanism 400 can be adjusted, which is suitable for picking fruits of different diameters.
[0076] Furthermore, the adjustment portion includes an elongated hole 700 , and the front bolt 500 and the rear bolt 600 are respectively connected in the elongated hole 700 through nuts.
[0077] Specifically, the present embodiment is provided with an elongated hole 700 , so that the distance between the front bolt 500 and the rear bolt 600 can be adjusted by adjusting the positions of the two bolts in the elongated hole 700 . This has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost.
[0078] On the other hand, the invention provides a gripper-cutting integrated harvesting robot for Solanaceae vegetables and fruits, comprising:
[0079] The above embodiment is used for the integrated cutting and harvesting claws of Solanaceae vegetables and fruits;
[0080] The robotic arm is connected to the harvesting claw.
[0081] Furthermore, the robotic arm includes a control unit electrically connected to the cylinder, so that the control unit controls the cylinder to drive the sliding portion 210 to slide, thereby achieving automated control, improving picking efficiency, preventing damage to the fruit, and increasing the shelf life of the fruit.
[0082] The process of picking fruit using this application is as follows (taking picking tomatoes as an example):
[0083] 1. The first stage, such as Figure 5 As shown, the air pump is turned on to fully retract the piston rod of the air cylinder, so that the openings between the two clamping rods 410 and the two scissor rods 310 reach the maximum angle, ensuring that the fruit stem can be located between the two clamping rods 410;
[0084] 2. The second stage, such as Figure 6 As shown, the air pump causes the piston rod of the air cylinder to drive the sliding portion 210 to slide forward. At this time, the second front curved portion 411 of the two clamping rods 410 contacts the second front guide wheel 222, and the second rear curved portion 412 contacts the second rear guide wheel 224, causing the two clamping rods 410 to gradually close. The first front curved portion 312 of the two scissor rods 310 contacts the first front guide wheel 221, causing the two scissor rods 310 to gradually close. The two clamping rods 410 and the two scissor rods 310 close at different speeds. The clamping rod 410 closes and clamps the fruit stem before the scissor rods 310 close.
[0085] 3. The third stage, such as Figure 7 As shown, as the sliding portion 210 continues to slide forward, the two scissor rods 310 are completely closed to shear the fruit stems;
[0086] 4. The fourth stage, such as Figure 8 As shown, after the fruit stems are cut, the control robot arm clamps the fruit stems and slides to the designated collection position. The control unit changes the working direction of the cylinder, and the piston rod of the cylinder drives the sliding part 210 to slide backward. At this time, the second rear arc-shaped parts 412 of the two clamping rods 410 contact the second rear guide wheel 224, and the first rear arc-shaped parts 313 of the two scissor rods 310 contact the first rear guide wheel 223, so that the two clamping rods 410 and the two scissor rods 310 are opened, and the tomato bunches are placed at the designated position.
[0087] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description.
