[0042] Sliding holes are provided on both sides of the inner cavity of the obstacle avoidance ring 701. A sliding rod 707 is slidably connected in the sliding hole. One end of the sliding rod 707 is connected to the second guide wheel 706. The end of the sliding rod 707 is connected to a stepped ring. A spring 708 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding rod 707. The two ends of the spring 708 are respectively connected to the second guide wheel 706 and one side of the inner cavity of the obstacle avoidance ring 701;
[0043] Both ends of the inner bottom of the obstacle avoidance ring 701 near the coupling rod 716 are connected to a laminating roller 713, and the inner side of the laminating roller 713 is in contact with one side of the flexible belt 705, thereby reducing the winding friction of the flexible belt 705. The inner side of the obstacle avoidance ring 701 is provided with a crush energy absorption groove 702 along the circumference, and the outer side of the obstacle avoidance ring 701 away from the rod body is connected to a guide block 703.

[0045] Specifically, through the designed expansion mechanism 7, when the expansion arm 5 adjusts the distance between the clamping claw 8 and the second arm 4 through the spacing control mechanism 9, the obstacle avoidance ring 701 on the outside of the expansion mechanism 7 can be driven and pressed to adjust the obstructing branches and fruits near the picking area to adjust the obstruction area, fully showing the picking field of the first arm 2 and the clamping claw 8. In this way, the lateral expansion arm 5 can cooperate with the flexible net bag 712 to apply pressure and avoid the obstructing branches and fruits to avoid interference and damage to branches and fruits, thereby improving the picking efficiency.
[0046] At the same time, when the obstacle avoidance ring 701 moves, the second driving motor 715 on both sides of the bottom can be controlled to output a rotation to drive the winding roller 714 to wind up the flexible belt 705, and the flexible belt 705 can be tightened by winding to pull the second guide wheels 706 on both sides to move inward. The movement of the second guide wheels 706 can drive the slide bar 707 to move, so that the tightened flexible belt 705 can drive the inner flexible net bag 712 to close, which is conducive to wrapping some branches and fruits through the flexible net cover and the flexible contraction of the flexible belt 705. The wrapping limit prevents the elastic force of the branches after being opened from bouncing to the adjacent branches, thereby improving the obstacle avoidance effect. In addition, by adjusting the flexible net bag 712 to the bottom side of the current second machine arm 4 and the clamping claw 8, the flexible net cover can scoop up and store the picked fruits, which is convenient for storing the fruits when picking and improving the picking adaptability.
[0047] Furthermore, the movement of the slide bar 707 can drive the spring 708 to expand, which is conducive to the flexible belt 705 being pulled back by the spring 708 when the second drive motor 715 rotates in the opposite direction to relax the flexible belt 705;
[0048] Furthermore, the first arm 2 can be rotated and its tilt angle can be adjusted through the driving part, and the second arm 4 can be driven to rotate around the first arm 2 through the rotating hub 3, which is beneficial to improving the picking adaptability through multi-axis adjustment of the first arm 2 and the second arm 4.

The hydraulic cylinder 907 and the expansion arm 5 are pulled by the electric push rod 906 to move and adjust in the expansion seat 905.
[0050] Specifically, the rotation of the output shaft of the driving motor can drive the rotation of the active gear 903. The rotation of the active gear 903 can drive itself and the rotating ring 901 to rotate around the axis of the second arm 4 by engaging with the gear ring 902. The rotation of the rotating ring 901 can drive the expansion seat 905 and the expansion arm 5 on one side to adjust their positions, which is beneficial for adjusting the toggle position around the picking area by rotating the expansion arm 5 around the axis of the second arm 4 to adapt to the obstacle avoidance needs under different occlusion conditions. In addition, through the designed electric push rod 906, the extension or shortening of the electric push rod 906 can pull the shaft sleeve to move. The movement of the shaft sleeve can synchronously adjust the radial position of the expansion arm 5 from the second arm 4, which is convenient for adjusting the obstacle avoidance radius of the picking space and further improving the picking adaptability.

Both ends of the adjusting screw 605 are connected through bearing seats At the bottom of the inner cavity of the protective shell 601, a first drive motor 609 is installed at one end of the adjusting screw rod 605. The first drive motor 609 is installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the protective shell 601. The top of the screw rod seat 606 and the bottom of the flap 602 are connected to the rotating seat 607, and the rotating seats 607 on both sides are rotatably connected with a connecting rod 608.

[0052] Specifically, through the designed anti-interference mechanism 6, the output shaft of the first drive motor 609 can be rotated to drive the adjusting screw 605 to rotate, and the rotation of the adjusting screw 605 can drive the screw seat 606 to move. The movement of the screw seat 606 can drive the top rotating seat 607 to move and pull the connecting rod 608. When one end of the connecting rod 608 is not pulled, the other side can rotate around the other rotating seat 607 and push the flap 602. The flap 602 can be rotated around the rotating hinge position through the rotating block 604. The rotation of the flap 602 can be expanded laterally to the expansion arm 5, so that the interfering branches on one side of the expansion arm 5 can be moved by the laterally expanded flap 602 to avoid the interference of the branches affecting the obstacle avoidance operation. In addition, through the designed electric telescopic rod, the electric telescopic rod has the same structure as the electric push rod 906. The movement of the abutment plate 603 in the flap 602 is controlled by the contraction and expansion of the electric telescopic rod. The movement of the abutment plate 603 can further adjust the abutment range of the side branches, thereby improving the processing adaptability.
