During the process, the angle of the clamping jaws 9 can be changed by the second push rod 10, so that the clamping jaws 9 can better fix the plants, and then the moving rod 7 is pushed back and forth by the first push rod 8, so that the moving rod 7 drives the clamping jaws 9, so that the plants vibrate, so that the picking objects fall off the plants, and then the falling picking objects are guided and buffered by the guide cloth 11, so as to complete the picking of the picking objects.

[0035] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the automatic driving picking robot includes a debris removal device, which includes a guide groove 12, a screen groove 13, a guide plate 14, a fan 18, a motor 19 and a silo 21. The guide groove 12 is arranged on both sides of the interior of the shell 3, and the guide plate 14 is arranged on both sides of the lower end of the interior of the shell 3. A slide rail 15 is arranged on the upper end of the guide plate 14. The screen groove 13 is slidably installed above the guide plate 14 through the slide rail 15. The screen groove 13 is in an inclined state. A silo 21 installed on the moving component 2 is arranged at the end of the screen groove 13. The motor 19 is fixed between the guide plates 14. The motor 19 is connected to the screen groove 13 through a crank and a connecting rod 20. The fan 18 is arranged between the guide plates 14 and is located below the screen groove 13. The guide plate 14 is inclined. Slit-shaped air inlets are arranged below the guide plates 14 on both sides of the shell 3, and a discharge groove 16 is also arranged above the guide plate 14. The bottom surface of the screen groove 13 is provided with a sieve hole, and the screen groove 13 is provided with an inclined plate 17.

[0036] In a specific embodiment: the picked objects fall onto the sieve slot 13 through the guiding action of the guide slot 12, and at the same time, the motor 19 drives the sieve slot 13 to move back and forth through the crank and the connecting rod 20 to form vibration, and at the same time, the fan 18 is started by powering the battery, sucking in the external airflow through the air inlet and blowing upward to form an upward airflow, and the picked objects pass through the inclined plate 17 to form a short suspension, and under the action of the airflow, the lighter debris is blown to the two sides of the sieve slot 13, and then discharged from the discharge slot 16 through the inclined guide plate 14, so as to remove impurities from the picked objects, and the picked objects after impurities removal pass through the sieve slot 13 and fall into the silo 21 for storage and collection.

[0037] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the self-driving picking robot includes a cutting device, which includes a mounting plate 23, a squeezing wheel 25, a toggle plate 26 and a cutting plate 27. The mounting plates 23 are fixed on both sides of the outer shell 3 and are located above the guide cloth 11. A rotating shaft 24 and a driving motor 19 for driving the rotating shaft 24 to rotate are provided at the end of the mounting plate 23. The squeezing wheels 25 are divided into multiple parts and mounted on the rotating shaft 24. The multiple squeezing wheels 25 are arranged in a large middle and small arrangement on both sides. The squeezing wheels 25 are eccentrically fixed on the rotating shaft 24. The cutting plate 27 is fixed on the mounting plate 23 and is located at the lower rear of the rotating shaft 24. The toggle plate 26 is fixed on the rotating shaft 24 and is located between the cutting plates 27.

[0038] In a specific embodiment: when in use, the driving motor 19 drives the rotating shaft 24 to rotate through an external power supply, so that the squeezing wheel 25 rotates eccentrically, thereby intermittently stretching and pressing the guide cloth 11 below, so that the angle of the guide cloth 11 changes intermittently, and the picked objects on the guide cloth 11 are quickly rolled and collected. At the same time, the rotating shaft 24 drives the toggle plate 26 to rotate, so that the debris dropped with the picked objects on the guide cloth 11 is moved, and then the rotation of the toggle plate 26 forms a shear with the cutting plate 27, so that the debris is cut into small pieces, which is convenient for separation by the debris removal device and prevents blockage.

[0039] Working principle: When in use, the wireless control component 4 receives the control signal through the network signal, thereby controlling the mobile component 2 to start, so that the mobile component 2 moves on the track 1, and automatically drives through the magnetic track in the middle of the track 1, and then finds the picking object through the visual component 5, and then stops moving, and drives the moving rod 7 to extend through the first push rod 8, so that the clamping claws 9 clamp the plants on both sides of the picking object. During the process, the angle of the clamping claws 9 can be changed by the second push rod 10, so that the clamping claws 9 can better fix the plants, and then the first push rod 8 reciprocates to push the moving rod 7, so that the moving rod 7 drives the clamping claws 9, so that the plants vibrate, so that the picking objects fall off the plants, and then the guide cloth 11 is used to guide and buffer the fallen picking objects, so as to complete the picking of the picking objects, and then the driving motor 19 drives the rotating shaft 24 to rotate through the external power supply, so that the squeezing wheel 25 rotates eccentrically, thereby intermittently stretching and pressing the guide cloth 11 below, so that The angle of the guide cloth 11 changes intermittently, so that the picked objects on the guide cloth 11 are quickly rolled and collected. At the same time, the rotating shaft 24 drives the toggle plate 26 to rotate, so that the debris dropped with the picked objects on the guide cloth 11 moves, and then the toggle plate 26 rotates and forms shear with the cutting plate 27, so that the debris is cut into small pieces, which is convenient for separation of the impurity removal device and prevents blockage. Then the picked objects fall on the screen slot 13 through the guiding effect of the guide slot 12. At the same time, the motor 19 drives the screen slot 13 to move back and forth through the crank and the connecting rod 20 to form vibration. At the same time, the fan 18 is started by the battery power supply, and the external air flow is sucked in through the air inlet and blown upward to form an upward airflow. The picked objects pass through the inclined plate 17 to form a short stagnation, and under the action of the airflow, the lighter debris is blown to the two sides of the screen slot 13, so that it is discharged from the discharge slot 16 through the inclined guide plate 14, thereby removing the impurities of the picked objects. The picked objects after impurity removal pass through the screen slot 13 and fall into the silo 21 for storage and collection.
