[0059] See also Figure 1-Figure 17 The present invention provides a technical solution for a tea picking robot picking device.

[0060] A tea picking robot, comprising:

[0061] Walking device 3;

[0062] An upper workbench 1, which is mounted on a walking device 3;

[0063] A mechanical arm 100 fixed on the upper workbench 1;

[0064] The picking mechanism 101 includes an inclined slide 102, a connecting tube 103 and an iris cutting mechanism 104. The inclined slide 102 is fixed on the robot arm 100.

A mounting hole 108 is provided on the side wall of the connecting tube 103, and a vacuum negative pressure recovery device is connected to the mounting hole 108.

[0065] The walking device 3 drives the upper workbench 1 to move to a suitable position, and then the robotic arm 100 drives the picking mechanism 101 to move, so that the tea leaves to be picked are inserted into the iris cutting mechanism 104. After the iris cutting mechanism 104 cuts the tea leaves, the vacuum negative pressure recovery device extracts the cut tea leaves from the connecting tube 103 by means of vacuum negative pressure, thereby realizing picking. The picked tea leaves are recovered quickly and efficiently, and the tea leaves will not be damaged.

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, the picking device also includes a module camera 109 and a picking monocular camera 110 which are connected to the outside of the connecting tube 103 through a connecting block 107. The module camera 109 is fixed to the top of the inside of the connecting tube 103. The lens of the picking monocular camera 110 is facing downward and is coplanar with the coaxial part of the fresh leaf picking mechanism 101.

[0067] like Figure 1 and Fig.11 As shown, the picking device also includes a panoramic self-adjusting camera device 141, which includes a supporting component 142, a stepper motor 143 is fixed to the upper end of the supporting component 142, a base connecting block 144 is fixed to the rotating shaft of the stepper motor 143, a platform fine-tuning mechanism 145 is fixed to the base connecting block 144, a servo bracket 146 is connected to the upper end of the platform fine-tuning mechanism 145, a servo motor 147 is fixed to the servo bracket 146, a servo connecting rod 153 is fixed to the rotating shaft of the servo motor 147, a cover bottom 148 is fixed to the servo connecting rod 153, a binocular camera 149, a distance sensor 150, an infrared sensor 151 and two full monocular cameras 152 are fixed to the cover bottom 148.

[0068] The rotation of the stepper motor 143 can make the panoramic self-adjusting camera device 141 rotate 360° in the XY axis plane, and the rotation of the servo motor 147 can make the binocular camera 149 rotate 270°.

[0069] like Figure 8 As shown, the picking device also includes a 2D radar device 154, which is installed on the front side of the walking device 3. The 2D radar device 154 is equipped with 4 radar probes.

The GPS locator is used to send and receive the position and direction information of the robot; the control system controls and determines the plateau mountain picking block of the robot according to the received sensor data.

[0070] Furthermore, when the tea-picking robot is performing tea-picking operations in the wild on plateau mountains, the panoramic self-adjusting camera device 141, under the coordinated rotation of the stepper motor 143 and the DS3225 servo motor 147, can realize the recognition and shooting of the panoramic area of ​​the tea-picking robot's surrounding environment.

[0071] Its binocular camera works:

[0072] 1. The driving path planning of the tea picking robot and the captured images of the tea ridges of large-leaf Pu'er tea and fresh leaves of high-end ancient Pu'er tea trees are transmitted to the image processor of the visual device. The image processor performs target recognition on the fresh leaves of large-leaf Pu'er tea in the images of tea ridges and ancient tea trees captured by the binocular camera, and transmits the position information of the identified fresh leaves of large-leaf Pu'er tea to the control system of the robot, so as to form an optimal solution picking path planning for the picking path of the fresh leaves in the regional image. The control system controls the robot arm 100 through the optimal solution picking path planning for the fresh leaves of large-leaf Pu'er tea, so that the robot arm 100 extends the Pu'er tea fresh leaf picking mechanism 101 to the side of the fresh tea leaves for preparatory picking;

[0073] 2. The driving path planning of the picking robot includes the path planning captured by the binocular camera and the 2D radar device 154. When the signals fed back to the control system are both "YES", the walking device 3 can be driven to perform the driving path planning movement.

[0074] The monocular camera 152 works as follows: 1.

The leaf inlet hole 134 is connected with the fresh leaf cavity, and the leaf inlet hole 134 is connected with the mounting hole 108 through a leaf pipeline.

[0079] When the iris cutting mechanism 104 cuts the fresh leaves, the vacuum negative pressure machine 125 generates negative pressure in the negative pressure box 127. At this time, negative pressure is also generated in the fresh leaf storage box 126.

[0081] The picking device also includes a detection sensor, which is fixed in the fresh leaf cavity 130. The detection sensor is arranged on a side close to the pushing device 135 and uses red light detection to detect whether the tea leaves are full.

[0082] When the fresh leaves in the fresh leaf storage box 126 reach the red light measuring point, the signal is transmitted to the control system, and the tea picking robot resets and drives to the "fresh leaf collection point", and the leaf discharging device is activated. The linear electric push rod drives the fresh leaf storage box 126 to move outward, and then the electric rotating table 138 drives the fresh leaf storage box 126 to rotate 180 degrees, and then the pushing device 135 pushes the tea leaves into the "region setting point".

[0083] like Fig.10 As shown, the pushing device 135 is configured as a linear motor scissor mechanism, which includes a pushing plate 139 .

[0084] like Figure 2 As shown, the robot arm 100 includes a six-degree-of-freedom robot arm, which includes a one-axis motor base, a two-axis robot arm, a three-axis robot arm, a four-axis robot arm and a five-axis robot arm joint, which are connected in sequence. The one-axis motor base is fixed to the center of the fixed large plate, and the first motor is arranged therein. The two-axis robot arm is connected to the driving arm clamping plate arranged on the one-axis motor base, and the driving arm clamping plate is equipped with a robot arm control circuit board. There are steering gears, reducers and potentiometers at the joints where the robot arms are connected.

[0085] The following is another embodiment of the robot arm 100: Figure 1 and Fig.12As shown, the robot arm 100 includes a six-degree-of-freedom parallel platform 200 and a picking robot device 4, the six-degree-of-freedom parallel platform 200 includes a fixed platform 201 and a moving platform 202, three groups of parallel branch chains 203 are evenly installed on the upper end surface of the fixed platform 201 along the axial direction, each group of parallel branch chains 203 is composed of two parallel branch chains 203, the parallel branch chains 203 include a universal joint 204, a servo drive motor mechanism 205, a screw rod 206, two first linear guide rods 207, two second linear guide rods 208, a first positioning support block 209, a second positioning support block 210, and a fixed ear seat 211, one end of the universal joint 204 is fixed on the fixed platform 201, and the other end is rotationally connected to the servo drive motor mechanism 205 Then, the rotating shaft of the servo drive motor mechanism 205 is fixed to the screw rod 206, one end of the two first linear guide rods 207 is fixedly connected to the servo drive motor mechanism 205, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second positioning support block 210, the two first linear guide rods 207 both pass through the first positioning support block 209, one end of the two second linear guide rods 208 is fixedly connected to the first positioning support block 209, and the other end is fixed to the fixed ear seat 211, the screw rod 206 passes through the first positioning support block 209 and is threadedly connected thereto, the top end of the fixed ear seat 211 is fixed to the lower end surface of the moving platform 202 by a rotating pair, the picking robot device 4 is fixed on the moving platform 202, and the picking mechanism 101 is fixed on the picking robot device 4.

[0086] Three groups of parallel branch chains 203 are arranged at 120° azimuth angles on the fixed platform 201, and three groups of points where the three groups of parallel branch chains 203 and their adjacent groups of parallel branch chains 203 are connected to the lower end surface of the moving platform 202 are arranged at 120° azimuth angles on the lower end surface of the moving platform 202, so that the lower connection point of the parallel branch chains 203 forms an azimuth angle of 60° in the top view.

[0087] The present invention controls the servo motor 147 by connecting the controller with the control wire to the servo drive motor mechanism 205 at the outer side of the housing to rotate the screw rod 206, so that the first positioning support block 209 moves up and down along the second linear guide rod 208, thereby driving the fixed ear seat 211 to move.

[0088] When the six parallel branches 203 of the three parallel branches 203 groups and the moving platform 202 form a 6-RPC parallel mechanism and adopt a two-stage distributed guide rod directional transmission form, the moving platform 202 has the advantages of good dynamic response, good stability, high rigidity, large load-bearing capacity and high motion accuracy under the control of the controller signal.

[0089] The present invention uses the six-degree-of-freedom parallel platform 200 to enable the picking manipulator device 4 on the moving platform 202 to operate the robot in the field of the Yunnan plateau mountain and to pick the fresh leaves of the ancient tea trees of the large-leaf Pu'er tea in the field, which has the following advantages:

[0090] The picking manipulator device 4 platform is in the mountainous terrain of the Yunnan Plateau. During the operation of the robot, its path planning activities must pass through a large slope road (at least 15° to a maximum of 60°). When a six-degree-of-freedom parallel platform 200 is used, its fixed platform 201 is fixed on the workbench, and the controller controls the six parallel branches 203 to keep its moving platform 202 horizontal, so that its influence on the servo motor 147 of the picking manipulator device 4 for high-precision picking of high-value wild large-leaf Pu'er tea fresh leaves is reduced to zero, and it maintains adaptive long-term work in an unmanned environment in the wild. The robot does not cause damage to the mechanical arm 100 due to the continuous movement of the robot, affecting its high-quality fresh leaf picking.

[0091] Wild large-leafed Pu'er ancient tea trees are distributed in the wild mountains of high-altitude plateaus in southwest Yunnan. Ancient tea trees over 100 years old are often higher than 2.1 meters to 5.2 meters, or even higher. Its fresh leaves sprout in spring every year and are not distributed in a three-dimensional shape on the crown of the tea tree. Its fresh leaves are large-leafed and sun-oriented. They are not vertically upward on the 1.2m tea ridge like the fresh leaves of Longjing tea, but are distributed in all directions and irregularly. Therefore, the six-degree-of-freedom parallel platform 200 of this device can keep the picking manipulator device 4 horizontal while the robot is moving, so that the picking manipulator device 4 can pick more efficiently, and the driving amount of each manipulator 100 of the six-degree-of-freedom serial manipulator 100 is minimized when planning to pick each fresh leaf, and the corresponding driver capacity is reduced to, which is divided into two parts of distributed control.

[0092] The picking manipulator device 4 is arranged on the moving platform 202, and the picking manipulator device 4 will not tilt with the tea picking robot due to the bumpy terrain or climbing. The picking manipulator device 4 includes a high six-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm 100 and a Pu'er tea fresh leaf picking mechanism 101. The picking manipulator device 4 is similar to the mechanical structure of the picking manipulator device 4, but the motor and the mechanical arm 100 cooperate with each other more accurately and flexibly.

[0093] Tea picking steps:

[0094] 1. When working in the field, the distance sensor 150 and the infrared sensor 151 are used to collect environmental information around the robot and feed it back to the control system in the industrial computer of the electrical control layer of the robot. When the signals of the two sensors exceed the obstacle distance setting value, the tea-picking robot directly turns to reduce the computing power. Then, the panoramic self-adjusting camera device 141 can realize the recognition and shooting of the panoramic area of ​​the tea-picking robot's surrounding environment under the joint rotation of the stepper motor 143 and the DS3225 servo motor 147. When the path planning shot by the binocular camera and the signal fed back to the control system by the 2D radar device 154 are both "YES", the crawler chassis can be driven to perform the driving path planning movement. The 2D radar device 154 is equipped with 4 radar probes. The right first and right second radar probes respectively monitor the obstacles on the right front side of the tea-picking robot and the obstacles or pits directly under the right crawler suspension assembly and feed them back to the control system. When the size setting value of the obstacle determines to pass or bypass. The GPS locator is used to send and receive the position and direction information of the robot; the control system controls and determines the plateau mountain picking area of ​​the robot according to the received sensor data.

[0095] 2. When the robot arrives near the terraced Pu'er tea ridge, the picking manipulator device rotates to face the tea ridge surface on one side, and if the other side is an intercropped ancient tea tree or a terraced Pu'er tea ridge, the picking manipulator device 4 platform can rotate to face the crown of the ancient tea tree and the tea ridge surface. Its binocular camera works to transmit the captured images of the large-leaf Pu'er tea ridge and the fresh leaves of the high-end ancient Pu'er tea tree to the image processor of the visual device. The image processor performs target recognition on the large-leaf Pu'er tea fresh leaves in the tea ridge and ancient tea tree images captured by the binocular camera, and transmits the recognized large-leaf Pu'er tea fresh leaf position information to the robot's control system, forming an optimal solution picking path planning for the picking path of the fresh leaf position in the regional image, and the picking manipulator device 4 picks from the "starting end" of the optimal solution picking path of the captured regional image, and the picking manipulator device 4 picks from the "end" of the optimal solution picking path, and the picking manipulator device 4 platform picks from the crown of the ancient tea tree or tea ridge on the other side. The control system controls the robot arm 100 through the optimal picking path planning of large-leaf Pu'er tea fresh leaves, so that the robot arm 100 extends the end effector to the tea fresh leaves for preparation for picking. The monocular camera captures the image when the end effector of the robot arm 100 is placed next to the tea fresh leaves, so that the control system controls the robot arm 100 to place the Pu'er tea fresh leaf picking mechanism 101 just above the axis of the large-leaf Pu'er tea fresh leaves.

[0096] 3. The Pu'er tea fresh leaf picking mechanism 101 starts to operate. The Pu'er tea fresh leaf picking mechanism 101 is suitable for picking large-leaf Pu'er tea fresh leaves from terraced tea and ancient tea trees with one bud and one leaf or one bud and two leaves. (Note: The shape of large-leaf Pu'er tea leaves is very different from that of famous and high-quality tea (such as Longjing tea leaves). The length of one bud and one leaf and one bud and two leaves of famous and high-quality tea leaves does not exceed 2.8cm, the radius of the cylinder from the bud core to the second leaf does not exceed 1.7cm, and the maximum width of the leaf does not exceed 0.5cm, showing a short, upright cylindrical body facing the sun. The length of one bud and one leaf and one bud and two leaves of large-leaf Pu'er tea leaves is 5cm-7.5cm, the radius of the cylinder from the bud core to the first leaf exceeds 2.5cm, the radius of the cylinder from the bud core to the second leaf exceeds 4.5cm, and the maximum width of the leaf exceeds 4.2cm. And because the size of Pu'er tea leaves is large, the fresh leaves of the plant face the sun, and the fresh leaves are bent towards the sun, which makes it impossible to use mechanized picking of bulk low-end tea. There is currently no patented design method to achieve picking.)

[0097] The one-bud-one-leaf mode of picking large-leaf Pu'er tea fresh leaves of the present invention is as follows: the mechanical arm 100 continues to move the Pu'er tea fresh leaf picking mechanism 101 closer to the target one-bud-one-leaf, and the S900 industrial module camera 109 identifies: the distance between the tip dot of the bud core and the tip dot of the first leaf; the distance between the tip dot of the bud core and the tip dot of the second leaf; the azimuth of the first leaf and the second leaf in the one bud. The distance between the tip dot of the bud core and the tip dot of the first leaf is compared to the control system through the image processor to see if the radius size of the cutter of the iris cutting mechanism 104 is less than. If "YES", command 1 is executed: the picking monocular camera 110 directly identifies the picking point 5mm below a leaf, and controls the robotic arm 100 to place the blade 121 of the iris cutting mechanism 104 of the Pu'er tea fresh leaf picking mechanism 101 at the picking point (the picking monocular camera 110 identifies the feedback to make the cutting blade of the iris cutting mechanism 104 perpendicular to the tender stem). At this time, the fresh leaves with one bud and one leaf are placed in the Pu'er tea fresh leaf picking mechanism 101, and the iris cutting mechanism 104 is driven by the micro motor 115 to close the blade 121 to achieve the cutting of one bud and one leaf. At this time, the fresh leaves are adsorbed into the fresh leaf storage box 126 through the flexible telescopic tube by the vacuum negative pressure recovery device. If "NO", execute command 2: The picking monocular camera 110 first identifies 2mm below a bud, and the control system drives the robot arm 100 to make the end face of the directional guide ring 111 of the Pu'er tea fresh leaf picking mechanism 101 and the iris cutting mechanism 104 coplanar with 2mm below a bud. During this process, the picking monocular camera 110 continues to shoot and identify. Then the control system controls the robot arm through the azimuth angle of the tip of the bud core of a leaf identified by the S900 industrial module camera 109 and links the sixth axis rotation motor to achieve the azimuth angle. Then the control system controls the GFX40 tilting slide 102 to rotate the slide surface (rotation angle ±20°), and the iris cutting mechanism 104 also rotates accordingly. At this time, the leaves 2mm below a bud within the Pu'er tea fresh leaf picking mechanism 101 also bend in the same direction, while the tender tendons below 2mm will not bend. During the rotation of the slide, when the S900 industrial module camera 109 recognizes that the distance from the tip dot of the bud core to the tip dot of a leaf is less than the radius size of the cutter of the iris cutting mechanism 104, the control system controls the robot arm 100 downward to 5mm below a leaf, and then performs the step of the control system command one.

[0098] The one-bud-two-leaf mode of picking large-leaf Pu'er tea fresh leaves of the present invention is as follows: the action command of one bud and one leaf in the one-bud-two-leaf picking mode is the same as the above-mentioned "one bud-one-leaf" action command, and the iris cutting mechanism 104 does not perform cutting at the 5mm above the one-bud-one-leaf picking point within the Pu'er tea fresh leaf picking mechanism 101 (the action form at this stage is that the central axis of the Pu'er tea fresh leaf picking mechanism 101 is colinear with the central axis of one bud and two leaves). Then the industrial computer control system uses the S900 industrial module camera 109 to capture and identify the azimuth of two leaves in one bud, and executes command three through the control system:

[0099] During this process, the monocular camera 538 continues to shoot and identify, and then the control system controls the robot and links the sixth-axis rotation motor. Then the control system controls the GFX40 tilt slide 102 to rotate the slide surface (rotation angle ±20°). At this time, the iris cutting mechanism 104 also rotates together. At this time, the one bud and one leaf within the Pu'er tea fresh leaf picking mechanism 101 5mm below the one leaf also bend in the same direction, and the angle bending 5mm below the one leaf will not cause the slight stem under the two leaves to bend in the same direction. During the rotation of the slide, when the S900 industrial module camera 109 recognizes that the distance between the tip dot of the bud core and the tip dot of the two leaves is less than the radius size of the cutter of the iris cutting mechanism 104, the control system controls the robot arm 100 downward to the one bud and two leaves picking point 8mm below the two leaves, and then performs the step of control system command one.

[0100] The one-bud-two-leaf mode of picking large-leaf Pu'er tea fresh leaves of the present invention is as follows: the action command of one bud and one leaf in the one-bud-two-leaf picking mode is the same as the above-mentioned "one bud-one-leaf" action command, and the iris cutting mechanism 104 does not perform cutting at the 5mm above the one-bud-one-leaf picking point within the Pu'er tea fresh leaf picking mechanism 101 (the action form at this stage is that the central axis of the Pu'er tea fresh leaf picking mechanism 101 is colinear with the central axis of one bud and two leaves). Then the industrial computer control system uses the S900 industrial module camera 109 to capture and identify the azimuth of two leaves in one bud, and executes command three through the control system:

[0101] During this process, the picking monocular camera 110 continues to shoot and identify, and then the control system controls the manipulator and links the sixth axis rotation motor. Then the control system controls the GFX40 tilt slide 102 to rotate the slide surface (rotation angle ±20°). At this time, the iris cutting mechanism 104 also rotates together. At this time, the one bud and one leaf within the Pu'er tea fresh leaf picking mechanism 101 5mm below the one leaf also bend in the same direction, and the angle bending 5mm below the one leaf will not cause the slight stem under the two leaves to bend in the same direction. During the rotation of the slide, when the S900 industrial module camera 109 recognizes that the distance between the tip dot of the bud core and the tip dot of the two leaves is less than the radius size of the cutter of the iris cutting mechanism 104, the control system controls the manipulator 100 to move it downward to the one bud and two leaves picking point 8mm below the two leaves, and then performs the step of control system command one.

[0102] 4. When the ancient tea trees or tea ridges on both sides of the binocular project are found to have fresh tea leaves that can no longer be picked, the robot crawler uses various sensors to detect that the surrounding environment is safe, and then feeds back to the control system to drive the crawler chassis to pick the next optimal solution path for the images taken on both sides, repeating steps 2, 3, and 4.

[0103] 5. When the fresh leaves in the fresh leaf storage box 126 reach the red light measuring point, the signal is transmitted to the control system, and the tea picking robot resets and drives to the "region setting point". Then the control system drives the fresh leaf storage and discharging device to discharge the fresh leaves.

[0104] like Figure 13-Figure 17 The robot also includes a solar device, which includes:

[0105] The main frame 300 is connected to the tea picking robot body through a bracket;

[0107] The front expansion mechanism 302 includes a front expansion push device 3021 and a front expansion solar panel 3022. The front expansion push device 3021 is fixed to the lower side of the main frame 300, and the front expansion solar panel 3022 is connected to the front expansion push device 3021. The front expansion push device 3021 can drive the front expansion solar panel 3022 to move to the lower side of the solar main board 301 or completely move out of the outside of the solar main board 301.

[0108] When the battery in the tea picking robot needs to be charged, the front expansion pusher 3021 drives the front expansion solar panel 3022 to move outward, so that the front expansion solar panel 3022 moves out of the outside of the solar main board 301, thereby increasing the range of solar energy reception and the charging efficiency. In addition, a rear expansion structure can be provided, and the structure of the rear expansion mechanism is the same as that of the front expansion mechanism 302, but it is located at the rear side of the main frame 300, and the specific structure is not described in detail.

[0109] The tea picking robot solar device also includes a right expansion plate mechanism 303, and the right expansion plate mechanism 303 includes:

[0110] The right extension connecting frame 3031 is hinged on the right side of the main frame 300;

[0111] The right screw motor 3032 is fixed on the right extension connecting frame 3031. The right screws 3033 are fixed at both ends of the right screw motor 3032. The threads of the two right screws 3033 are in opposite directions. The two right screws 3033 are threadedly connected with inner drive blocks 3034. The two inner drive blocks 3034 are hinged with right extension drive rods 3035. The middle parts of the two right extension drive rods 3035 are hinged through the middle shaft 3036. The ends of the two right extension drive rods 3035 away from the inner drive blocks 3034 are hinged with outer drive blocks 3037. The two outer drive blocks 3037 are provided with outer drive through holes. The two outer drive through holes are penetrated with outer through shafts 3038. The outer through shafts 3038 are fixed with hammer-shaped pieces 3039.

[0112] The right solar panel assembly includes two groups of right battery connectors 3040. The right battery connector 3040 includes a first right solar group 30401 and a second right solar group 30402. The first right solar group 30401 includes a first middle solar panel 30403 and two first outer solar panels 30404. The two first outer solar panels 30404 are arranged on both sides of the first middle solar panel 30403. The first middle solar panel 30403 is symmetrically provided with a first middle battery slope 30405. The first outer solar panel 30404 is provided with a first outer battery slope 30406. The first middle battery slope 30405 and the first outer battery slope 30406 are arranged in parallel. The first right solar group 30401 and The second right solar group 30402 is symmetrically arranged, the first outer solar panels 30404 on the first right solar group 30401 and the second right solar group 30402 are hinged to each other, the first middle solar panels 30403 on the first right solar group 30401 and the second right solar group 30402 are hinged to each other, the first outer solar panels 30404 between the two groups of right battery connectors 3040 are hinged to each other, the first middle solar panels 30403 between the two groups of right battery connectors 3040 are hinged to each other, the middle shaft 3036 is hinged to the hinge of the first middle solar panel 30403 between the two groups of right battery connectors 3040, and the hammer 3039 is hinged to the outermost first middle solar panel 30403;

[0113] The flipping device 308 is arranged between the main frame 300 and the right extension connecting frame 3031.

[0114] When the right solar panel assembly is in the folded state, the two inner drive blocks 3034 are located near the right screw motor 3032. When the right solar panel assembly needs to be unfolded, the right screw motor 3032 drives the right screw 3033 to rotate, thereby driving the two inner drive blocks 3034 to move away from the right screw motor 3032, and the inner drive block 3034 drives the right extension drive rod 3035 to rotate, and the outer drive block 3037 slides relative to the outer shaft 3038, and each first middle solar panel 30403 and the first outer solar panel 30404 rotate relative to each other, so that the right solar panel assembly is opened to a flat state, and then the flip device 308 rotates the right solar panel assembly to a horizontal state, which can greatly increase the area receiving the sun. Of course, when the right solar panel assembly is to be folded, the right screw motor 3032 only needs to rotate in the opposite direction to fold the right solar panel assembly.

[0115] Of course, a left expansion plate mechanism can also be provided. The left expansion plate mechanism is provided on the left side of the main frame 300, and its structure is the same as the right expansion connecting frame 3031. In this way, both sides of the main frame 300 can be expanded, greatly increasing the expansion area.

[0116] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the right extended connecting frame 3031 is connected to the flipping device 308, and the flipping device 308 includes a flipping motor 3081. The flipping motor 3081 is fixed on the main frame 300. A crank block 3082 is fixed on the rotating shaft of the flipping motor 3081. A flipping transmission rod 3083 is hinged on the crank block 3082. The end of the flipping transmission rod 3083 away from the crank block 3082 is hinged to the right extended connecting frame 3031.

[0117] The flipping motor 3081 drives the crank block 3082 to rotate, and the crank block 3082 drives the right extension connecting frame 3031 to rotate through the flipping transmission rod 3083, thereby driving the right solar panel assembly to flip.

[0118] The front expansion pushing device 3021 includes a front driving motor 3026, a front driving screw rod 3023, a front driving block 3024, a front truss 3025 and a front driving thin plate. The front driving motor 3026 is fixed to the middle part of the main frame 100, and the front truss 3025 is fixed to the front end of the main frame 100. One end of the front driving screw rod 3023 is fixedly connected to the driving motor, and the other end is rotatably connected to the front truss 3025. The front driving block 3024 is threadedly connected to the front driving screw rod 3023. The front driving thin plate can slide relative to the front truss 3025. The front driving thin plate is fixed to the front driving block 3024, and the front expansion solar panel 3022 is fixed to the front driving thin plate.

[0119] The front driving motor 3026 drives the front driving screw 3023 to rotate, and the front driving screw 3023 drives the driving plate to move through the front driving block 3024, thereby driving the front extended solar panel 3022 to move.

[0120] A fresh leaf identification method is also disclosed, based on the above tea picking robot picking device, comprising the following steps:

[0121] S1, take photos of fresh leaves under different backgrounds and different light intensities, and collect various fresh leaf images as the initial data set;

[0122] After collecting the fresh leaf image data, the image is annotated. The result of the annotation is to use a rectangular frame to frame the fresh leaves, which is also the object of the fresh leaf picking mechanism. The name, size and position information of the fresh leaf tea type in the image are obtained in TXT and XML files.

[0123] S2. Divide the collected fresh leaf image data into training set, test set and validation set, and construct the labeled image data set into training set, test set and validation set in a ratio of 6:2:2 and put them into the improved YOLOV7 algorithm for learning, so that the improved YOLOV7 algorithm finally obtains the Feature Maps of fresh leaves.

[0124] The improved YOLOv7 network structure consists of Input, Backbone, Neck and Head, where Input is mainly used for data preprocessing, including data enhancement, image size scaling, and predefined candidate box size calculation; Backbone is the backbone network of deep learning, which is used to realize the feature extraction function of the target; Neck is the neck network that connects feature layers of different scales and performs feature fusion; Head is the head network, which calculates the regression loss value through the loss function. The present invention adopts the latest MPDIoU loss function to improve the original loss function. In order to be applicable to the regression of overlapping and non-overlapping bounding boxes at the same time, and to take into account the center point distance and the deviation of width and height, MPDIOU adopts the bounding box similarity metric based on the minimum point distance, which not only simplifies the calculation process to a certain extent, improves the model convergence speed, but also makes the regression result more accurate. Its loss function expression is shown in formulas (1), (2), (3) and (4):

[0125]

[0126]

[0127]

[0128]

[0129] Where A and B represent the predicted box and the true box respectively. and Respectively represent the coordinates of the upper left corner and lower right corner of the bounding box A, and Respectively represent the coordinates of the upper left corner and lower right corner of the bounding box B;

[0130] The image obtained by the binocular camera 149 transmits the fresh leaf image to the industrial computer in real time. The industrial computer performs noise reduction, filtering, and grayscale image preprocessing on the image transmitted by the camera; and then uses the trained improved YOLOV7 learning model to recognize the photos transmitted by the camera.

[0131] The image obtained by the binocular camera can be divided into two images, left and right. After the camera calibration is completed, the two images need to be merged into one image. Spatial and Channel reconstruction Convolution is used to effectively suppress the redundant features of the feature map through the two components SRU (Spatial Reconstruction Unit) and CRU (Channel Reconstruction Unit), thereby reducing the complexity and computational cost of the model. Spatial and Channel reconstruction Convolution performs stereo matching to obtain the disparity map of the large-leaf Pu'er tea fresh leaves. The image taken by the binocular camera contains the position information (u, v) of the large-leaf Pu'er tea fresh leaves in the image, and after segmenting the disparity map, the depth value d of the large-leaf Pu'er tea fresh leaves can be obtained. Based on this information, a three-dimensional point cloud map of the large-leaf Pu'er tea fresh leaves is established, and then the point cloud map is subjected to denoising processing by direct filtering, statistical filtering and radius filtering, and a three-dimensional point cloud of large-leaf Pu'er tea fresh leaves with less noise and smoothness can be obtained.

[0132] The separation operation of SRU mainly uses the scaling factor of GN (Group Normalization) to evaluate the information content of the feature map in order to better separate the feature maps with rich information and those with less information. Its expression is shown in formula (5). The reconstruction operation combines the features with rich information with the features with less information through cross reconstruction and strengthens the information flow between the two to generate richer information features and save space. Its expression is shown in formula (6).

[0133]

[0134]

[0135] in, represents element-wise multiplication, represents element-by-element addition, U represents concatenation, μ and σ are the mean and standard deviation of X, ε is a small positive number added to stabilize division, γ and β are trainable affine transformations, W is the weight value of the feature map, W1 is the weight with richer information, and W2 is the weight with less rich information.

[0136] The Split operation of CRU is to divide the spatial refinement features generated by SRU into two parts, Xup and Xlow, and compress them respectively using 1x1 convolution to improve the computational efficiency of the model. The Transform operation is to extract features from Xup and Xlow obtained by the split operation using different convolutions, thereby obtaining two sets of feature maps with different information richness. The expressions are shown in equations (7) and (8). The Fusion operation extracts the spatial channel information of feature maps Y1 and Y2 by Pooling, merges features Y1 and Y2 in the form of channels, and generates Channel-Refined FeafureY.

[0143] After the fresh leaf image is divided into S×S non-overlapping regions, the feature vector contained in each region is Where H is the height of the original image, W is the width of the original image, and Q, K, and V are obtained by linearly mapping the feature vector. Their expressions are shown in formula (12), where XT represents the segmented input image, Wq, Wk, and Wv represent the weighted projections of query, key, and value, respectively. The region-level features are calculated by average pooling, and the average value of each region is calculated. Calculate the adjacency matrix of the inter-region correlation of Qr and Kr, which is expressed as formula (13)

[0144] As shown in the figure, Ar represents the adjacency matrix of correlation, Qr represents the query at the regional level, Kr represents the key at the regional level, and T represents the transposition operation. The coarse-grained regional routing calculation uses the routing index matrix The indexes of the first K links are saved row by row so that only the first K connections in each region are used when pruning the correlation graph. The expression is shown in formula (14). The public key normalization operation is to aggregate the key and value tensors. The aggregation formulas are shown in formulas (15) and (16). Among them, Kg represents the tensor after key aggregation, K represents the key, Ir represents the routing index matrix, Vg represents the tensor after value aggregation, and V represents the value. Collecting the scattered key-value pairs is to use the attention operation on the aggregated KV pairs to perform fine-grained label-to-label attention calculation. The expression is shown in formula (17), where O represents fine-grained label-to-label attention and LCE(V) represents the local context enhancement term.

[0146] A r =Q r (K r ) T (13)

[0147] I r =topkIndex(A r ) (14)

[0148] K g =gather(K,I r ) (15)

[0149] V g =gather(V,I r ) (16)

[0150] O = Attention(Q, K g , V g )+LCE(V) (17)

[0151] In order to avoid the network overfitting caused by insufficient number of training images, the visual recognition of the present invention uses image enhancement technology to expand the original data. The original data is expanded by 11 times by means of Cropping, Rotate, Local enlargement, Change exposure and Adding Gaussian noise. The above-mentioned images are the data sets used for visual recognition of the present invention. Then the photos are input into the computer for image preprocessing, including image denoising and filtering, and then the color difference of the image is enhanced. In the present invention, the visual recognition uses the Labelimg tool to annotate the images in the data set after the processed images, and generates TXT and XML files after the annotation is completed.
