[0015] The harvesting method of the vibration excitation type tree crown fruit harvesting mechanism is as follows:
[0016] Initially, slides one and two are located at their extreme positions at both ends of the base. The fixed frame is mounted on the moving trolley, which, through the fixed frame, moves the excitation frame and excitation mechanism, causing the excitation rods on the excitation frame to insert into the canopy of the target fruit tree. A collection frame is then placed below the canopy. Next, the rotation angle of the output shafts of the two servo motors is set, and the controller controls the operation of the two servo motors. The two servo motors, through two reducers, drive gear one and gear two to rotate respectively. Both gear one and gear two mesh with racks, thereby driving slides one and two respectively. The sliding platform 1 and sliding platform 2 drive the connecting shaft to move along a rotary wheel trajectory via connecting rod 1 and connecting rod 2, which in turn drives the excitation frame and each excitation rod to move along a rotary wheel trajectory. Each excitation rod excites the fruit tree canopy, and the fruit is forced to vibrate under the action of each excitation rod, generating inertial force. When the inertial force is greater than the binding force between the fruit and the branch, the fruit falls off and into the collection box, thus completing the harvesting of the fruit. During the movement of the excitation frame, the excitation frame drives each slider to rise and fall synchronously along the corresponding sliding shaft, and drives each fixed block to move synchronously through each slider and each sliding shaft.
[0017] Preferably, when the connecting shaft moves along a rotary trajectory, the calculation process for the rotation angle of the output shafts of the two servo motors is as follows:
[0018] Let A1, A2, and P be the projection points of the central axes of rotating shaft one, rotating shaft two, and connecting shaft on the same vertical plane. Establish a rectangular coordinate system xOy with the line containing points A1 and A2 as the x-axis and the midpoint of points A1 and A2 in the initial state as the origin O. Let the length of line segment A1P be l1 and the length of line segment A2P be l2. Using the inverse kinematics method, divide the trajectory of the rotating wheel along the trajectory direction into multiple trajectory points according to a preset time period, denoted as P1, P2, ..., P. k ,…,P n Where P1 is the starting and ending point of the cycloid trajectory, and the coordinates of each trajectory point satisfy the following equation:
[0019]
[0020] In the formula, and Let x be the x-coordinate of point A1 and point A2 at time k, respectively. k and y k Let x and y be the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of point P at time k.
[0021] Substituting the x-axis and y-axis coordinates of each trajectory point into the above equations, we obtain the x-axis coordinates of points A1 and A2 corresponding to each trajectory point. Then, based on the relationship equations between the gear leads of gear one and gear two, the reduction ratios of the two reducers, and the rotation angles of the output shafts of the two servo motors, we calculate the rotation angles of the output shafts of the two servo motors corresponding to each trajectory point on the rotary trajectory. The relationship equations between the gear leads of gear one and gear two, the reduction ratios of the two reducers, and the rotation angles of the output shafts of the two servo motors are as follows:
[0022]
[0023] In the formula, and These represent the rotation angles of the servo motors on slide one and slide two at time k, respectively. and Given that s1 and s2 are the gear leads of gear one and gear two respectively, that is, the linear distance that gear one and gear two drive slide one and slide two to translate when they rotate one revolution, and i1 and i2 are the reduction ratios of the reducer on slide one and the reducer on slide two respectively.
[0024] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0025] 1. This invention enables fruit harvesting with high efficiency. Specifically, two servo motors drive gear one and gear two to move slide one and slide two. Slide one and slide two, through connecting rod one and connecting rod two, drive the connecting shaft, the excitation frame, and each excitation rod to move, causing each excitation rod to excite the fruit tree canopy. This causes the fruit to be forced to vibrate under the action of each excitation rod, generating inertial force. When the inertial force is greater than the binding force between the fruit and the branch, the fruit falls off and into the collection box, thus achieving fruit harvesting. Furthermore, compared with the existing trunk excitation method, the excitation generated in this invention acts directly on the branches and fruit, thereby improving the excitation effect and increasing harvesting efficiency. Moreover, the excitation trajectory of each excitation rod in this invention is a rotary excitation trajectory. Compared with the existing circular or elliptical excitation trajectories, the rotary excitation trajectory used in this invention can effectively improve the excitation effect, thereby further improving harvesting efficiency.
[0026] 2. This invention can change the shape of the rotating wheel trajectory by changing the rotation speed of the output shafts of the two servo motors respectively, and can change the excitation frequency by changing the rotation speed of the output shafts of the two servo motors simultaneously. By changing the distance between the hinge points at both ends of connecting rod one and connecting rod two, the excitation amplitude can be changed, and the overall size of the rotating wheel trajectory can be scaled. Thus, this invention can be used to harvest fruits from different types of fruit trees and fruit trees with different physical and biomechanical characteristics, and has a wide range of applications.

[0050] The present invention discloses a harvesting method for a vibration-type canopy fruit harvesting mechanism, as detailed below:
[0051] In the initial state, slide table 401 and slide table 412 are located at their extreme positions at both ends of the base 413. The fixed frame 101 is installed on the moving trolley, which drives the excitation frame 307 and the excitation mechanism to move via the fixed frame 101, causing each excitation rod 308 on the excitation frame 307 to insert into the canopy of the target fruit tree, and a collection frame is placed below the canopy. Then, the rotation angle of the output shafts of the two servo motors 201 is set, and the controller controls the operation of the two servo motors 201. The two servo motors 201 drive gear 417 and gear 418 to rotate via two reducers. Gear 417 and gear 418 mesh with rack 416, thereby driving slide table 401 and slide table 412 to translate. Slide table 401 and slide table 412 drive the connecting shaft 408 to move along a rotary trajectory via connecting rod 406 and connecting rod 410, as shown in the image. Figure 9 As shown, this causes the excitation frame 307 and each excitation rod 308 to move along a rotary trajectory. Each excitation rod 308 excites the fruit tree canopy, and the fruit, under the action of each excitation rod 308, is forced to vibrate and generates inertial force. When the inertial force is greater than the binding force between the fruit and the branch, the fruit falls off and into the collection box, thus achieving fruit harvesting. During the movement of the excitation frame 307, the excitation frame 307 drives each slider 306 to rise and fall synchronously along the corresponding sliding shaft 305, and drives each fixed block 304 to move synchronously through each slider 306 and each sliding shaft 305.
[0052] Among them, such as Figure 7As shown, circle ① represents the motion trajectory of the connecting shaft 408 in the PR series mechanism consisting of slide 401, connecting rod 406, and connecting shaft 408 when slide 401 is at its extreme end position on base 413, far from slide 412; circle ② represents the motion trajectory of the connecting shaft 408 in the PR series mechanism consisting of slide 401, connecting rod 406, and connecting shaft 408 when slide 401 is at a position on base 413, close to the middle of slide 412; circle ③ represents the motion trajectory of the connecting shaft 408. Circle 4 represents the motion trajectory of the connecting shaft 408 when the slide 412 is positioned on the base 413 near the middle of the slide 401, forming the PR series mechanism consisting of slide 412, connecting rod 410, and connecting shaft 408. Circle 5 represents the motion trajectory of the connecting shaft 408 when the slide 412 is positioned at the extreme end position on the base 413 away from the slide 401. Circles 6 and 7 intersect. Figure 7 The conditions under which the connecting shaft 408 can move correctly in a closed-loop mechanism consisting of slide 401, connecting rod 406, connecting rod 410, slide 412, and connecting shaft 408 (with shaded areas in the image) can be used to determine the initial positions of slide 401 and slide 412.
[0053] When the connecting shaft 408 moves along a rotary trajectory, the calculation process for the rotation angle of the output shafts of the two servo motors 201 is as follows: Let the projection points of the central axes of shaft one 405, shaft two 411, and connecting shaft 408 on the same vertical plane be points A1, A2, and P, respectively. Figure 8 As shown, a rectangular coordinate system xOy is established with the line containing points A1 and A2 as the x-axis and the midpoint of points A1 and A2 in the initial state as the origin O. Let the length of line segment A1P be l1 and the length of line segment A2P be l2. Using the inverse kinematics method, multiple trajectory points are divided along the trajectory direction according to a preset time period on the rotary trajectory, denoted as P1, P2, ..., P k ,…,P n In this embodiment, n = 20, where point P1 is the starting and ending point of the wheel trajectory, and the coordinates of each trajectory point satisfy the following equation:
[0054]
[0055] In the formula, and Let x be the x-coordinate of point A1 and point A2 at time k, respectively. k and y k Let x and y be the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of point P at time k.
[0056] Substituting the x-axis and y-axis coordinates of each trajectory point into the above equations, we obtain the x-axis coordinates of points A1 and A2 corresponding to each trajectory point. Then, based on the relationship equations between the gear leads of gear 1 (417) and gear 2 (418), the reduction ratios of the two reducers, and the rotation angles of the output shafts of the two servo motors 201, we calculate the rotation angles of the output shafts of the two servo motors 201 corresponding to each trajectory point on the rotary trajectory. The relationship equations between the gear leads of gear 1 (417) and gear 2 (418), the reduction ratios of the two reducers, and the rotation angles of the output shafts of the two servo motors 201 are as follows:
[0057]
[0058] In the formula, and These represent the rotation angles of servo motor 201 on slide 1 (401) and servo motor 201 on slide 2 (412) at time k. and Given that s1 and s2 are the gear leads of gear 417 and gear 418 respectively, that is, the linear distance that gear 417 and gear 418 drive slide 401 and slide 412 to translate when they rotate one revolution, which can be obtained from the specifications of gear 417 and gear 418, i1 and i2 are the reduction ratios of the reducer on slide 401 and slide 412 respectively.
[0059] The shape of the wheel trajectory can be changed by changing the rotation speed of the output shafts of the two servo motors 201 respectively. The excitation frequency can be changed by changing the rotation speed of the output shafts of the two servo motors 201 simultaneously. The excitation amplitude can be changed by changing the length of line segments A1P and A2P, that is, the distance between the hinge points at both ends of connecting rod 1 406 and connecting rod 2 410 (reflected in the scaling of the overall size of the wheel trajectory). In this way, it is possible to harvest fruits from different types of fruit trees and fruit trees with different physical and biomechanical characteristics.
