Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of agricultural equipment, and in particular to a raspberry non-destructive picking device and a picking method based on tactile feedback. Background Art

[0002] Raspberries are small berries with high economic value. Due to their soft texture and fragile skin, they are easily damaged by mechanical forces during picking and post-harvest processing, causing juice to leak out, which in turn leads to corruption and deterioration, causing serious economic losses. Although traditional manual picking methods can reduce the fruit damage rate to a certain extent, they are inefficient and labor-intensive, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale planting. In recent years, automated picking devices have been gradually applied to the field of raspberry harvesting.

Generally, a slide or a free-fall pipe is used to transport the fruit. In this type of transportation method, the fruit frequently collides and rubs against the inner wall of the device or each other, especially at the bends of the pipe or in the stacking state, the local pressure increases significantly, causing the skin to rupture.

10. A method for non-destructive raspberry picking based on tactile feedback, using the non-destructive raspberry picking device based on tactile feedback according to any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: S1. Before using the device, water is injected into the collection basket. When picking, the gripping assembly is driven by the robot arm to move and grip the raspberries, and then the stems on the raspberries are cut off by the cutting assembly; S2. During the process of clamping and cutting the raspberries, the water in the collection basket is injected into the water inlet through the water delivery assembly, so that the injected water enters the flexible conveying cylinder through the feed cylinder. After the flexible conveying cylinder is filled with water, the clamping assembly releases the grip of the raspberries, so that the raspberries fall downward into the feed cylinder; S3. Open the sealing plate, so that the water in the flexible conveying tube flows downward and is discharged into the collection basket through the opening at the bottom of the discharge tube, so that the raspberries flow downward along with the water flow and enter the collection basket.
