Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of picking equipment, in particular to an automatic tree-climbing coconut picking machine. Background Art

[0002] When picking coconuts, for shorter coconut trees, people can directly stand on the ground and pick the coconuts with their hands. This method is simple and quick, but its applicability is limited. When picking coconuts at higher positions, you can also climb the tree to pick coconuts. Climbing the tree to pick coconuts requires special climbing tools and safety measures to ensure the safety of the pickers. This method is relatively quick, but there are safety risks.

[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned safety risk problem, there are robots specially used for picking coconuts on the market. The robots clamp the trees and use wheels to drive the lifting and lowering, so as to cooperate with the mechanical arm to perform remote control picking. This picking method replaces manual tree climbing and is safer. However, it is found in actual use that the trunk surface of coconut trees grown in the natural environment is often uneven, with various protrusions, depressions and bends. When the coconut picking robot is in use, it is easy to encounter the situation that the trees have protrusions, which makes it very unstable during walking. During walking, it may lose balance due to inability to adapt to these changes, causing losses. At the same time, due to the complexity of the picking environment, many coconut picking robots are not easy to adjust the direction during the tree climbing process, and the adjustable range of the travel direction is small, which makes the mechanical arm picking speed slow, and it is necessary to control the position state of the device multiple times, and flexible position movement cannot be achieved.

The travel direction can be adjusted in a large range and the picking and positioning speed is fast, which meets the needs of complex picking environments.

[0060] The device is designed with a machine support base 1, so that the machine support base 1 supports and moves the entire device. The mechanical picking arm 2 is designed so that after the device moves to the target position, the mechanical picking arm 2 is used to remotely pick fruits to replace manual labor. The clamping unit 3 is designed so that the spacing between the multiple groups of movable wheels 15 on the machine support base 1 is adjustable, so that the machine support base 1 is suitable for clamping and climbing on trees of different thicknesses.

[0061] The device also facilitates the adjustment of the angles of the multiple groups of movable wheels 15 on the machine support base 1 through the design of the rotating unit 4. Therefore, the movable wheels 15 can drive the machine support base 1 vertically upward or horizontally rotate during the walking process. Furthermore, through the design of the primary obstacle avoidance component 5 and the secondary obstacle avoidance component 6, when the movable wheels 15 encounter a tree protrusion during the walking process, the primary obstacle avoidance and multi-level obstacle avoidance functional designs can be used to achieve the device to stably pass through the tree protrusion obstacle position, ensuring that the machine stably moves to the target position.

[0062] The mechanical picking arm 2 is arranged on the machine bearing seat 1, and the mechanical picking arm 2 is used for picking fruits;

[0063] The clamping unit 3 is disposed on the machine bearing seat 1, and is used to control the spacing between the multiple sets of movable wheels 15; the clamping unit 3 includes:

[0067] The screw rod 34 is disposed at the output end of the first motor 33 , and the screw rod 34 is threadedly connected to the first slider 32 .

[0068] The clamping unit 3 has a compact structure and is easy to operate. When the spacing between the multiple sets of movable wheels 15 needs to be adjusted, it is directly driven by the first motor 33. When the first motor 33 is working, the first motor 33 drives the screw rod 34 to rotate, the screw rod 34 drives the first slider 32 to move, the first slider 32 drives the primary platform 11 to move, the primary platform 11 drives the secondary platform 12 to move, the secondary platform 12 drives the walking wheel base 13 to move, the walking wheel base 13 drives the shaft seat 14 to move, and the shaft seat 14 drives the movable wheel 15 to move;

[0069] When the movable wheel 15 needs to be driven to rotate to realize the movement of the entire device, the movable wheel 15 is driven by the driving motor 141;

[0070] The secondary platform 12 is rotatably connected with a main shaft 121, and a drum sleeve 131 is provided on the walking wheel base 13, and the main shaft 121 and the drum sleeve 131 are fixed to each other; the device makes the secondary platform 12 and the walking wheel base 13 rotatably connected through the design of the main shaft 121 and the drum sleeve 131, and the force at the connection position is stable; combined with the design of the rotating unit 4, the positions of the walking wheel base 13, the shaft seat 14 and the multiple groups of movable wheels 15 are easy to rotate and adjust;

[0071] The rotating unit 4 is disposed between the secondary platform 12 and the walking wheel base 13, and is used to control the angles of the multiple sets of movable wheels 15; the rotating unit 4 includes:

[0072] The second motor 41 is disposed on the secondary platform 12;

[0073] The worm 42 is arranged at the output end of the second motor 41;

[0074] The worm wheel 43 is disposed outside the drum sleeve 131 , and is meshed with the worm 42 .

[0075] The rotating unit 4 in the device has a compact structure and is easy to operate. When it is necessary to drive multiple groups of movable wheels 15 to rotate and adjust the travel angle through the rotating unit 4, the second motor 41 is used for driving. The second motor 41 drives the worm 42 to rotate, the worm 42 drives the worm wheel 43 to rotate, the worm wheel 43 drives the drum sleeve 131 to rotate, the drum sleeve 131 drives the walking wheel base 13 to rotate, the walking wheel base 13 drives the shaft seat 14 to rotate, and the shaft seat 14 drives the movable wheel 15 to rotate. Therefore, the travel direction of the entire device can be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the movable wheel 15, so as to facilitate the control of the entire device to move vertically or horizontally along the tree.

[0076] The first-level obstacle avoidance component 5 is arranged between the axle seat 14 and the walking wheel base 13, and the first-level obstacle avoidance component 5 is used to realize the primary obstacle avoidance of the movable wheel 15; the second-level obstacle avoidance component 6 is arranged between the first-level platform 11 and the second-level platform 12, and the second-level obstacle avoidance component 6 is used to realize the multi-level obstacle avoidance of the movable wheel 15. Through the design of the first-level obstacle avoidance component 5 and the second-level obstacle avoidance component 6, the device can realize the multi-level obstacle avoidance capability of the device on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can maintain pressure between the movable wheel 15 and the tree, thereby improving the stability of the device.

[0077] The first level obstacle avoidance component 5 includes:

[0078] The sleeve 51 is arranged on the traveling wheel base 13;

[0079] The sliding column 52 is disposed on the shaft seat 14, and the sliding column 52 is slidably connected in the sleeve 51;

[0080] The first spring 53 is fixedly connected between the sleeve 51 and the sliding post 52 .

[0081] The first-level obstacle avoidance component 5 has a simple structure and is easy to maintain. When the clamping unit 3 controls the multiple groups of movable wheels 15 to move and fit closely to the tree trunk, the sleeve 51 and the sliding column 52 will be driven to move toward each other and squeeze the first spring 53. On the one hand, pressure is maintained between the multiple groups of movable wheels 15 and the tree trunk, so that the multiple groups of movable wheels 15 and the tree trunk are kept in close contact. On the other hand, when encountering a raised obstacle position of a tree, the multiple groups of movable wheels 15 can be further expanded at the same time, so that the multiple groups of movable wheels 15 drive the axle seat 14 and the walking wheel base 13 to move, and the walking wheel base 13 is used to drive the sliding column 52 to move along the inside of the sleeve 51 and further squeeze the first spring 53, so as to overcome the obstacle and keep the movable wheels 15 in the device in close contact with the tree trunk, thereby improving the stability of the device.

[0082] The secondary obstacle avoidance component 6 includes:

[0083] The second guide rail 61 is disposed on the first-level platform 11;

[0086] The device utilizes the design of the secondary obstacle avoidance component 6 to further enhance the multi-level obstacle avoidance capability of the device. When the first spring 53 of the primary obstacle avoidance component 5 is compressed to the maximum state, the secondary obstacle avoidance component 6 further provides a larger travel activity, thereby enabling the movable wheel 15 to further move, achieving a multi-level obstacle avoidance state, and further enhancing the fit between the movable wheel 15 and the tree trunk, thereby ensuring the stability of the device during walking.

[0087] When the first spring 53 is compressed to the maximum state, when the tree protrudes greatly, it further drives the secondary platform 12 and the primary platform 11 to move relative to each other, and the secondary platform 12 drives the second slider 62 to move along the second guide rail 61 and further squeeze the second spring 63;

[0088] An elastic arc plate 16 for reinforcing and supporting the mechanical picking arm 2 is provided on the machine support seat 1, and a groove 151 is provided on the movable wheel 15. The elastic arc plate 16 is designed so that the elastic arc plate 16 can maintain a close and extruded support with the tree trunk, so that the connection stability between the machine support seat 1 and the tree trunk is good. When the machine support seat 1 is in the target position and the mechanical picking arm 2 is used to pick fruits, further support is provided to the mechanical picking arm 2 to ensure the stability of the device. The groove 151 design makes the fit between the movable wheel 15 and the tree trunk better, the contact area is large, the friction is large, and the stability of the device is ensured.

[0089] Embodiment 2:
