Description

Technical Field

[0002] Berry picking is a highly seasonal and labor-intensive job. The traditional picking method is manual picking, which is slow, inefficient, and requires a huge amount of labor. If the fruit cannot be harvested in time, it will rot, causing serious economic losses to the farmers.

[0003] The efficiency of berry picking is low and the picking process is difficult. Due to the small size of the fruit and the high water content of about 70-80%, the peel is delicate and easily damaged. If damaged, the juice will flow out and turn black after drying. For example, the growth of wolfberry has the characteristics of "disordered inflorescence and continuous flowers and fruits", that is, flowering, fruiting, and maturation are carried out at the same time, which makes the harvesting work difficult. The picking cycle is about 7 days, and it is basically picked manually in China. Traditional manual picking requires a large number of people to carry out long-term and high-intensity operations. It is now increasingly difficult to meet the picking needs of wolfberries, resulting in 40% of wolfberries being unable to be picked each year, causing a large number of wolfberries to rot in the fields.
