[0002] With the development of agriculture, the planting area of fruit trees is increasing. At present, the picking of fruit trees such as apples, peaches, pears, apricots, pomegranates, tea fruits and walnuts is mainly manual picking, which needs to increase a large amount of labor cost and needs to use tools such as stools, short ladders and bamboo poles, and the picking efficiency is low. Moreover, people need to climb the fruit trees to pick the fruits on the higher branches, and there is a great safety hazard that people will fall from the fruit trees. Alternatively, a device vibration method is used for picking. This method generally clamps the trunk or branch, starts a vibrator to shake the fruits to fall. Although this method can improve the picking efficiency, the damage to the fruit trees is great, and the diameter of the trunk or branch cannot be too large, and the applicability is not high. The vibration frequency and amplitude need to be adjusted according to experience to the range in which most mature fruit trees can fall, and the picking is not targeted. For example, the unripe fruits are not easy to be shaken to fall under the same vibration frequency and amplitude, and if the vibration frequency and amplitude are too large, the damage to the fruit trees will be greater.
