TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medlar fruit picking equipment, and particularly relates to a hand-held medlar picking equipment based on artificial intelligence. BACKGROUND
[0002] Medlar is a kind of plant with medicinal and edible properties, and is widely planted in western regions of China. Traditional medlar picking methods are mainly manual picking, which is labor-intensive, low in efficiency and unstable in picking quality. The picking problem has become a key problem restricting the development of the medlar industry. With the gradual realization of agricultural mechanization and intelligentization in China, current medlar picking equipment mainly includes self-propelled and hand-held types, and the hand-held type is dominant. In the hand-held medlar picking equipment, the vibration type equipment is the most ideal picking method due to high picking efficiency and small damage rate. However, due to the mechanical structure design, most of the current vibration type equipment has some problems.
[0003] A vibration type picking machine invented by Gao Sen (CN206978083U) has a relatively large contact area of the vibration rod during picking, which causes the vibration rod to directly contact the medlar fruit and shake it off most of the time, resulting in a large damage rate. A vibration type medlar picking machine invented by Qin Zhan Yang (CN211656899U) mainly vibrates branches, but does not have a fruit collecting device, which also causes damage to the fruit and increases the workload of the picking workers. A vibration type picking machine invented by Shi Tengfei (CN219248614U) increases the fruit collecting device, but inevitably causes uneven vibration amplitude during picking. Moreover, the above three vibration type picking machines need to observe the medlar picking situation by naked eye during picking, and control the vibration frequency in real time to prevent the vibration frequency from being too large to damage flowers and leaves, or too small to slow down the picking efficiency and affect the economic benefits.
