AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing raspberry picking equipment is prone to causing fruit skin to crack during transportation. Traditional manual picking is inefficient and costly, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale planting.

Method used

The device employs a tactile feedback-based non-destructive raspberry harvesting system. It uses a liquid medium to buffer the impact force, reducing friction and impact between the raspberries and the inner wall of the pipe and the fruit. The raspberries are slowly dropped by water flow, and the discharge cylinder is controlled to move horizontally by the drive component to avoid vertical accumulation and impact. Combined with the clamping component and the electric push rod, the cutting of the fruit stem and the movement of the feeding cylinder are carried out synchronously.

Benefits of technology

It effectively prevents raspberry skin from cracking, improves harvesting efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and ensures that the fruit enters the buffer cavity smoothly while being enveloped in water, reducing damage and achieving damage-free harvesting.

9. The raspberry non-destructive picking device based on tactile feedback according to claim 8, characterized in that: The feeding cylinder is fixedly installed with a driving frame, the end portion of the second double-headed screw is fixedly installed with a straight gear, the top portion of the mounting frame is fixedly installed with a rack, and the rack is engaged with the straight gear.

10. A method for non-destructive picking of raspberries based on tactile feedback, using the device for non-destructive picking of raspberries based on tactile feedback according to any one of claims 1-9, characterized in that, The method comprises the following steps: S1. Before the device is used, water is injected into the collecting basket, when picking, the clamping assembly is driven by the mechanical arm to clamp the raspberries, and then the fruit stems on the raspberries are cut off by the cutting assembly; S2. During the clamping and cutting of the raspberries, the water in the collecting basket is injected into the water injection port by the water injection assembly, so that the injected water enters the flexible conveying cylinder through the feeding cylinder, after the flexible conveying cylinder is filled with water, the clamping assembly releases the clamping of the raspberries, so that the raspberries fall downward into the feeding cylinder; S3. The sealing disc is opened, so that the water in the flexible conveying cylinder flows downward and is discharged into the collecting basket through the opening at the bottom of the discharging cylinder, so that the raspberries flow downward together with the water flow and enter the collecting basket.
