According to the growth characteristics of safflower, safflower filaments are uneven, and the leaves and fruit balls have flower thorns, which increases the difficulty of harvesting. From growing to withering, safflower can generally be harvested 2-3 times, that is, the fruit balls cannot be damaged during picking. Therefore, the picking of safflower is time-consuming and laborious, and it is necessary to manually extract the filaments one by one, and the flowering cycle of safflower is short, requiring a large amount of manpower to harvest in a short time, and long-term labor will cause finger damage. Most of the existing picking equipment is shoulder-type or hand-held. Although the collection and harvesting of safflower can be realized, it is necessary to accurately position the fruit balls. If the positioning is inaccurate, it is easy to cause the safflower to break and fall.
