Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of manipulators, and in particular relates to a harvesting agricultural manipulator with a manipulator arm having a self-locking mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In the current agricultural picking mode, with the continuous increase in labor costs, the cost of manual picking is also increasing. Manual picking usually requires long-term bending, stretching and other repetitive actions, which can easily cause worker fatigue and reduce picking efficiency. Long-term work may cause occupational diseases. In order to improve picking efficiency and save manpower, automatic picking through mechanical devices has high application value. Existing picking machinery usually uses joint mechanical arms for picking, such as the patented "crawler-type cross-ridge walking picking equipment" (publication number: CN118044402A) and the patented "deep learning-based fragrant pear automatic picking method and device" (publication number: CN118279543A). With the development of science and technology, the folding and unfolding mechanism has attracted more and more attention due to its many advantages such as light weight and high compression ratio. The mechanical arm with the folding and unfolding mechanism can be folded up in the non-working state, occupying a small space, which is not only conducive to passing through narrow passages, but also conducive to the storage and transportation of mechanical equipment. When working, the folding and unfolding mechanism of the mechanical arm can usually extend to a position that the traditional joint mechanical arm cannot reach by unfolding, and has a large working range. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a harvesting agricultural robot with a mechanical arm folding and unfolding mechanism. The robot has the characteristics of small space occupation, large working space, high compression ratio, and self-locking of the folding and unfolding mechanism. Combined with the mechanical claw, it can perform efficient autonomous harvesting. When the mechanical arm is folded, the robot has good passability and is convenient for storage and transportation. When the mechanical arm is unfolded, the device has a high extension height and a large working range, and has a high application value.

[0087] The present invention provides a harvesting agricultural robot arm with a self-locking mechanism, and its working process and working principle are as follows:

[0088] In the initial state, the mechanical arm folding and unfolding mechanism D of the device is in a folded state, the low melting point alloy in the folding and unfolding body of each folding and unfolding unit is solid, and the folding and unfolding body cannot be unfolded, so that the mechanical arm folding and unfolding mechanism D is in a folded and locked state; the traction line I15 of the driving device C is tightened and wound on the winding wheel of the serial port servo I12, the traction line II16 is tightened and wound on the winding wheel of the serial port servo II13, and the traction line III17 is tightened and wound on the winding wheel of the serial port servo III14. When the device starts to pick, first, the onboard computer 101 collects the image information of the fruit to be picked through the depth camera I3 on ​​the vehicle body A, identifies the ripe fruit according to the image information, and obtains the position information of the ripe fruit, and then drives the vehicle body A to drive the entire device to move under the fruit. After the trolley arrives at the position below the fruit, the onboard computer 101 locates the fruit through the depth camera II91 of the picking mechanism E, determines the unfolding posture and orientation of the mechanical arm folding and unfolding mechanism D through calculation, and then determines the rotation angle of each serial port servo and the posture of each folding and unfolding unit, so that the picking mechanism E reaches the vicinity of the target fruit; at the same time, the rotation angle of the motor 88 of the picking mechanism E is determined, so that the mechanical claw 90 can grab the fruit after the mechanical arm folding and unfolding mechanism D is unfolded. Before the mechanical arm is unfolded, the onboard computer 101 drives the motor 88 of the picking mechanism E to run, and the rotor 88a of the motor 88 drives the fixed frame 89 on it and the mechanical claw 90 and the depth camera II91 on the fixed frame 89 to rotate to the corresponding angle.

[0089] When the robot arm is unfolded, the onboard computer 101 commands the control unit 30 of the folding unit to be unfolded to supply power to the heating wire circuit, and the temperature of the heating wire in the heating wire circuit increases by using the Joule heating effect generated by the current flowing through the conductor. The heating wire will heat the brass rod in the wound sleeve, causing the temperature of the outer end of the brass rod to increase. The heat is conducted to the low-melting-point alloy in the through hole of the upper page plate through the brass rod, causing the temperature of the low-melting-point alloy to increase. When the low-melting-point alloy is heated to the melting point, a phase change will occur, from solid to liquid, so that the folding body to which the low-melting-point alloy belongs is unlocked. When all the low-melting-point alloys of the folding unit are transformed into liquid, the folding unit is unlocked. The onboard computer 101 controls the serial port steering gear I12, serial port steering gear II13 and serial port steering gear III14 of the driving device C to run at a determined angle, and each winding wheel rotates to release the corresponding length of the traction line I15, traction line II16 and traction line III17, the pressure on the folding unit is reduced, and each folding body is unfolded to the target posture and orientation according to the predetermined trajectory calculated by the onboard computer 101 under the elastic force of the upper and lower torsion springs, so that the picking mechanism E reaches the target position. At this time, the onboard computer 101 commands the control unit 30 to stop supplying power to the heating wire circuit and start supplying power to the cooling sheet 28. The heating wire of the folding unit is no longer heated, and the cooling sheet 28 starts to work. Since the temperature of the liquid low-melting-point alloy is higher than the ambient temperature, its heat will be conducted to the heat-conducting copper sheet 29b through the brass rod, and the heat-conducting copper sheet 29b will dissipate the absorbed heat through the cooling sheet 28 thereon, so that the temperature of the low-melting-point alloy is continuously reduced. When the low melting point alloy is cooled to the solidification point, the low melting point alloy changes from liquid to solid, locking the folding body. At this time, the mechanical arm folding mechanism D is locked, and the posture and orientation are maintained. After the picking mechanism E reaches the target position, the mechanical claw 90 faces the fruit and can be picked. The onboard computer 101 drives the mechanical claw 90 to retract and grab the fruit, and drives the motor 88 to rotate to cut off the connection between the fruit stalk and the fruit tree. After the mechanical claw 90 picks the fruit, the onboard computer 101 commands the control unit 30 to supply power to the heating wire circuit, and the heating wire of each folding unit is heated. The heat generated is conducted to the low melting point alloy by the brass rod, so that the temperature of the low melting point alloy rises to the melting point, and the low melting point alloy changes from a solid phase to a liquid phase, and the folding body is unlocked; at the same time, the onboard computer 101 controls the serial port servo I12, serial port servo II13 and serial port servo III14 of the drive device C to operate, and the traction line I15, traction line II16 and traction line III17 that are reversed and retracted by the winding wheel, the folding body of the folding unit is folded under the action of tension, and while the mechanical arm folding mechanism D is folded, the onboard computer 101 drives the motor 88 to rotate. During this period, the visual information obtained by the relative depth camera II91 on the fixed frame 89 is used to control the mechanical claw 90 to approach the storage basket 4, so that the picking mechanism E and the fruit reach above the bottom surface of the storage basket 4, and the mechanical claw 90 releases the fruit, so that the fruit falls into the storage basket 4, and the storage of the fruit is completed.

[0090] Finally, the onboard computer 101 controls the serial port servo I12, serial port servo II13 and serial port servo III14 of the driving device C to operate, the winding wheel reverses to retract the traction lines I15, traction lines II16 and traction lines III17, each folding unit is completely folded under the action of the traction line tension, the mechanical arm folding mechanism D is completely folded, the heating wire circuit of each folding unit stops supplying power, the cooling sheet supplies power until the low melting point alloy turns into a solid state, each folding unit is locked, the mechanical arm folding mechanism D is locked in the folded state, and the motor 88 rotor 88a rotates back to the initial position. At this point, the device completes a picking process.
