[0026] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention more clear, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings to facilitate understanding by technicians.

[0027] like Figure 1-10As shown, the present invention provides an embracing type pruning robot, comprising a walking device 1 and a pruning device 2, wherein the pruning device 2 is installed on the top of the walking device 1, and the walking device 1 comprises a support frame 3 and a walking mechanism 4 installed on the inner side of the support frame 3 and supported on a tree trunk 5 and walking along the tree trunk 5; the support frame 3 comprises two supporting rings 31 and a connecting column 32 for fixing the two supporting rings 31, and the two supporting rings 31 are respectively composed of two mutually hinged fan rings, and the fan rings are opened and then put on the tree trunk 5, and the other end is locked by bolts, so that the pruning robot is installed on the tree trunk 5. On the trunk 5; a connecting rod 33 for installing the walking mechanism 4 is connected between the two supporting rings 31; the pruning device 2 is provided with multiple and evenly connected to the supporting ring 31 located above, the pruning device 2 includes a fixed block 21, an arc-shaped mounting block 22, and a chain saw 23, the fixed block 21 is installed on the supporting ring 31, and the arc-shaped mounting block 22 is connected to the side wall of the fixed block 21; the lower part of the arc-shaped surface of the arc-shaped mounting block 22 is provided with a roller 24 supported on the surface of the trunk 5, and the upper part is installed with a chain saw 23, and the chain saw 23 is set as an arc structure that matches the surface of the trunk 5. When the present invention is in use, the fan ring of the support ring 31 is opened through the hinge point. Since the upper and lower support rings 31 are connected by the connecting rod 33, the two support rings 31 are opened together, and then embraced on the trunk 5. The ends of the fan rings are locked by bolts, and the walking device 1 is supported on the trunk 5 to walk upward. During the walking process, the pruning device 2 moves upward under the support of the roller 24, and the arc-shaped chain saw 23 on the chain saw 23 moves along the surface of the trunk 5. When encountering branches, the chain saw 23 cuts the branches. The support frame 3 of the present invention can be opened and embraced on the trunk 5, so that the robot is fixed on the trunk 5, which is easy to operate and improves the efficiency of robot installation. The arc-shaped chain saw 23 can fit the surface of the trunk 5 as much as possible, so that the chain saw 23 cuts along the root of the branch, prunes the branch neatly and cleanly, improves the efficiency of branch pruning, and does not affect the walking device 1.

[0028] like Figure 5As shown, the chain saw 23 includes a guide plate 231, a saw chain 232, a sprocket 233, and a motor I 234; the guide plate 231 is an arc-shaped structure, and the side surface is fixedly connected to the side wall of the arc-shaped mounting block 22, the saw chain 232 is sleeved on the guide plate 231 along the arc-shaped edge of the guide plate 231, and the two ends are sleeved on the sprockets 233 installed at the two ends of the guide plate 231, and one of the sprockets 233 is transmission-connected to the motor I 234 installed on the arc-shaped mounting block 22; the connecting pieces on both sides of the saw chain 232 are stuck in the arc-shaped edge of the guide plate 231, so that the saw chain 232 moves along the edge of the guide plate 231, and the saw chain 232 is provided with saw teeth for cutting branches. The motor Ⅰ234 drives the sprocket 233 to rotate, and the sprocket 233 drives the saw chain 232 to rotate along the edge of the arc-shaped guide plate 231, and the saw teeth move to cut the branches. Since the saw chain 232 moves in an arc shape, the branches can be cut along the surface of the trunk 5, avoiding the situation where there are more branch roots remaining on the trunk 5, the pruning is not clean, and the pruning efficiency is low.

[0029] like Figure 6 As shown, the side of the arc-shaped mounting block 22 is provided with a guide rod 221 inserted into a socket provided on the side of the fixing block 21, and an adaptive spring 222 sleeved on the guide rod 221 is connected between the arc-shaped mounting block 22 and the fixing block 21. When the pruning device 2 moves upward on the tree trunk 5 through the roller 24, since the thickness of the tree trunk 5 is uneven, some are thick and some are thin, when encountering a thicker part, the guide rod 221 expands and contracts in the socket, and the adaptive spring 222 compresses, so that the pruning device 2 can be flexibly adjusted according to the thickness of the tree trunk 5 during the pruning process, and can adapt to the uneven thickness of the tree trunk 5.

[0030] like Figure 6 As shown, the side end of the fixed block 21 is movably inserted into the square sleeve 211, and the end of the square sleeve 211 is rotatably installed with an adjusting screw 212, which is threadedly connected to one end of the fixed block 21 inserted into the square sleeve 211, and the end of the adjusting screw 212 extends out of the square sleeve 211, which is convenient for rotating the adjusting screw 212. The adjusting screw 212 is rotated to make the adjusting screw 212 threadably rotate in the fixed block 21, so that the fixed block 21 drives the pruning mechanism to move in the square sleeve 211, so that the contact between the pruning mechanism and the surface of the trunk 5 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the trunk 5, so that the robot can adapt to trees of different thicknesses.

[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, a hand wheel 213 is provided at the end of the adjusting screw rod 212 for easy rotation.

[0032] like Figure 7As shown, the walking mechanism 4 includes a crawler 41, a shock absorbing system 42, and a motor II 43. The crawler 41 is installed on the connecting rod 33 through the shock absorbing system 42. The motor II 43 is arranged on the side of the crawler 41 and is connected to the crawler 41 to drive the crawler 41 to move. After the robot is installed on the tree trunk 5, the crawler 41 contacts the tree trunk 5. Driven by the motor II 43, the crawler 41 moves upward along the tree trunk 5. The shock absorbing system 42 enables the crawler 41 to move upward smoothly along the unevenly thick tree trunk 5, so that it can adapt to the tree trunks 5 of different thicknesses and unevenly thick tree trunks 5, thereby improving the adaptability of the robot to pruning.

[0033] like Figure 8 As shown, the shock absorbing system 42 includes two pairs of inclined brackets 421 and a pair of shock absorbing brackets 422; the inclined directions of the inclined brackets 421 and the shock absorbing brackets 422 are opposite, the two pairs of the inclined brackets 421 are arranged parallel to each other, and the two ends are respectively hinged to the connecting rod 33 and the crawler 41, and the two inclined brackets 421 of each pair of inclined brackets 421 are respectively connected to the crawler 41 and the two sides of the connecting rod 33; the two brackets of a pair of shock absorbing brackets 422 are respectively arranged on both sides of the crawler 41, and the shock absorbing brackets 422 are elastic telescopic structures, and the two ends are respectively hinged to the side walls of the crawler 41 and the side walls of the connecting rod 33. When the shock absorbing system 42 is performing shock absorption, since the inclined directions of the inclined bracket 421 and the shock absorbing bracket 422 are opposite, it supports the track 41. When the shock absorption occurs, the angle of the inclined bracket 421 changes and the shock absorbing bracket 422 is compressed, thereby achieving a shock absorption effect, so that the invention can adapt to tree trunks 5 of different thicknesses and tree trunks 5 of uneven thicknesses, thereby improving the adaptability of the robot to pruning.

[0034] like Fig. 9 As shown, the shock-absorbing bracket 422 includes a telescopic rod 4221, a telescopic sleeve 4222, and a shock-absorbing spring 4223. One end of the telescopic rod 4221 and the telescopic sleeve 4222 are respectively hinged on the crawler 41 and the connecting rod 33, and the other end is telescopically sleeved together; the shock-absorbing spring 4223 is sleeved on the telescopic rod 4221, one end of which abuts against the end of the telescopic sleeve 4222, and the other end abuts against the limit step set on the telescopic rod 4221. When the shock-absorbing effect occurs, the telescopic rod 4221 is telescoped in the telescopic sleeve 4222, and the shock-absorbing spring 4223 is repeatedly compressed and stretched, thereby achieving a shock-absorbing effect.

[0035] like Fig.10As shown, the connecting rod 33 is also equipped with an adjusting device 44 for adjusting the supporting angle of the shock-absorbing bracket 422 and thus adjusting the supporting height of the crawler 41. The adjusting device 44 includes a slider 441 and an electric push rod 442. The slider 441 is slidably installed on the connecting rod 33, and the electric push rod 442 is installed on the connecting rod 33. The pushing end of the electric push rod 442 is connected to the slider 441 to push the slider 441 to move. The end of the telescopic rod 4221 is hinged on the slider 441. The movement of the slider 441 pushes the angle of the shock-absorbing bracket 422 to change. The position of the crawler 41 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the tree trunk 5 through the adjusting device 44 so as to make close contact with the tree trunk 5. The slider 441 is pushed to move by the electric push rod 442, and the sliding push shock-absorbing bracket 422 is moved, thereby pushing the crawler 41 to move, so that the crawler 41 is in contact with the tree trunk 5, which is convenient for the crawler 41 to walk on the tree trunk 5, so that the invention can adapt to tree trunks 5 of different thicknesses and tree trunks 5 of uneven thickness, thereby improving the adaptability of the robot pruning.

[0036] The support frame 3 is provided with a battery 6 for providing power to the motor I 234 , the motor II 43 , and the electric push rod 442 .

[0037] Working process: When the present invention is in use, the fan ring of the support ring 31 is opened through the hinge point. Since the upper and lower support rings 31 are connected by the connecting rod 33, the two support rings 31 are opened together, and then embraced on the trunk 5. The ends of the fan rings are locked by bolts, and the walking device 1 is supported on the trunk 5 to walk upward. During the walking process, the pruning device 2 moves upward under the support of the roller 24, and the arc-shaped chain saw 23 on the chain saw 23 moves along the surface of the trunk 5. When encountering branches, the chain saw 23 cuts the branches. The support frame 3 of the present invention can be opened and embraced on the trunk 5, so that the robot is fixed on the trunk 5, which is easy to operate and improves the efficiency of robot installation. The arc-shaped chain saw 23 can fit the surface of the trunk 5 as much as possible, so that the chain saw 23 cuts along the root of the branch, prunes the branch neatly and cleanly, improves the efficiency of branch pruning, and does not affect the walking device 1.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made in form and details without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
