[0018] Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for picking mountain walnuts; DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Example

[0021] The invention discloses a method for picking mountain walnuts, comprising the following steps:

[0022] S1, rotary tillage: Use mechanical equipment to perform rotary tillage around the walnut trees, and dig trenches on the ground according to the slope of the terrain where the walnut trees are planted; through rotary tillage, on the one hand, it can play the role of weeding and rotating the ground where the walnut trees are planted, and on the other hand, it can achieve digging trenches so that the walnuts can roll together better for easy collection.

[0023] S2, tree shaking operation: after the rotary tillage operation is completed, mechanical equipment is used to vibrate and shake the walnut tree to make the walnuts fall from the walnut tree;

[0024] S3, walnut collection: When walnuts fall on the ground, the grooves formed on the ground gather the walnuts, making it convenient to collect the fallen walnuts in time.

[0025] In this embodiment, the specific operation process of S1 is as follows: first, the rotary tiller is installed at the front end of the mechanical arm of the excavator, and then the excavator drives the rotary tiller to perform soil rotary tillage operations around the walnut tree.

[0026] In this embodiment, in S1, the depth and range of the rotary tillage operation need to be reasonably adjusted according to the size of the walnut tree and the distribution of the root system, while effectively loosening the soil around the walnut tree and minimizing damage to the root system of the walnut tree.

[0027] In this embodiment, in S1, the depth of the rotary tillage operation is controlled at 15-30 cm.

[0028] In this embodiment, the specific operation process of S2 is: first, the rotary tiller is removed from the front end of the excavator's mechanical arm, and the vibrating picking device is installed on the front end of the excavator's mechanical arm, and then the vibrating picking device is adjusted to a suitable position by the excavator, and finally the vibrating picking device is used to vibrate and shake the walnut tree; wherein, the vibration amplitude and frequency of the vibrating picking device need to be adjusted according to the size, age and maturity of the walnut tree; specifically, the vibration amplitude of the vibrating picking device is proportional to the size of the walnut tree, and the larger the walnut tree is, the larger the vibration amplitude is, and the vibration frequency of the vibrating picking device is inversely proportional to the size of the walnut tree, and the larger the walnut tree is, the lower the vibration frequency is, so as to avoid causing excessive damage to the walnut tree.

[0029] In this embodiment, in S2, during the tree shaking operation, it is necessary to always pay attention to the falling of the walnuts, and adjust the strength and direction of the vibration in a timely manner to ensure that as many walnuts as possible can fall smoothly.

[0030] In this embodiment, the blade of the rotary tiller is driven to rotate by a hydraulic motor, and the hydraulic motor is powered by the hydraulic system of the excavator.

[0031] In this embodiment, the excavator is a crawler excavator, which is convenient for walking on mountainous areas.

[0032] In this embodiment, special attention should be paid to protecting the walnut tree during the picking process to avoid irreversible damage to the walnut tree due to excessive vibration or improper rotary tillage. For walnut trees with older age and weaker trunks, the operation intensity should be appropriately reduced, or auxiliary support measures should be adopted to ensure the safety of the walnut tree.

[0033] In this embodiment, the operator needs to receive professional training in advance and be familiar with the operating principles of the excavator, the use of the rotary tiller and the vibrating harvesting device, and the precautions during the operation to ensure efficient and safe operation.

[0034] In this embodiment, the excavator, the rotary tiller and the vibrating harvesting device are all commonly used equipment in the prior art, so the specific structures of the excavator, the rotary tiller and the vibrating harvesting device are not described in detail.
