[0019] Among them, through the mutual cooperation of the mechanical arm 2 and the connecting arm 3, the cylinder 4 drives the two connecting bars 7 to approach each other through the connecting block 5 and the top bar 6, forcing the clamping claw 8 to clamp the apple to be picked, and at this time the two half teeth 903 approach each other and dock, at this time the other top spring 16 will drive the two clamping rings 17 to approach each other, clamp the apple stem, so that the apple is picked from the branch and sent to the inside of the collection box 1, in the process of the clamping claw 8 driving the apple to move to the top of the receiving seat 111, the bottom of the connecting arm 3 will slide with the guide rail 30, so that the connecting arm 3 will drive the clamping claw 8 upward and gradually approach the upper half tooth 903, and force the top of the apple to contact the buffer capsule 15, and the guide tooth 29 is driven to rotate by the motor 28, so that the two half teeth 903 can be driven to rotate together, and due to the friction between the receiving seat 111, the buffer capsule 15 and the apple, it is guaranteed that the apple itself will not rotate, so that the process of the half tooth 903 driving the clamping ring 17 to rotate will automatically twist off the fruit stem and remove it.
[0020] The air guide mechanism 10 is arranged inside the connecting arm 3, and the air guide mechanism 10 is used to inflate the twisting mechanism 9. The air guide mechanism 10 includes two connecting chambers 101, two conduits 102 and two baffles 103. The two connecting chambers 101 are symmetrically opened inside the connecting arm 3, and the two conduits 102 are symmetrically connected to the two sides of the connecting arm 3, and the conduits 102 are arranged through the connecting chamber 101.

[0021] When the connecting arm 3 slides to one end of the guide rail 30, the guide rod 32 will be squeezed to slide toward the inside of the connecting arm 3, and drive the gear 31 to rotate. At this time, the baffle 103 will rotate from the original closed state to the connecting cavity 101 to the open state. At this time, the connecting arm 3 drives the clamping claw 8 to rise in height, and the air in the clamping airbag 18 will be squeezed and enter the connecting cavity 101 through the conduit 102, ensuring that in this process, the squeezing effect of the clamping airbag 18 and the clamping claw 8 on the apple will not affect the rising work of the clamping claw 8, and because the connecting arm 3 drives the clamping claw 8 to rise in height, .... The air pressure in the connecting chamber 101 is relatively large at this time. After the clamping claw 8 and the clamping airbag 18 are separated from the apple, a part of the airflow in the connecting chamber 101 will return to the clamping airbag 18. After the connecting arm 3 is separated from the guide rail 30, the spring 33 will push the guide rod 32 to slide upward. At this time, it will be driven by the gear 31 to further drive the baffle 103 to re-close the conduit 102 and the connecting chamber 101, so as to ensure the stability of the air pressure in the clamping airbag 18, ensure the clamping effect of the clamping claw 8 on the apple and prevent the apple from being damaged.
[0022] A receiving mechanism 11 is slidably connected to the inside of the collecting box 1. The receiving mechanism 11 is used to receive the apples sent through the clamping claw 8. The receiving mechanism 11 includes a receiving seat 111, a rotating seat 112 and a telescopic tube 113. The receiving seat 111 and the rotating seat 112 are both rotatably connected to the inside of the collecting box 1. The rotating seat 112 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the receiving seat 111. The telescopic tube 113 is connected to the bottom of the rotating seat 112. The other end of the telescopic tube 113 is connected to the inside of the collecting box 1. A cavity 19 is opened inside the rotating seat 112. Three air guide holes 20 are opened through the top of the cavity 19. The apertures of the three air guide holes 20 are different. A blowing hole 21 is opened through the surface of the receiving seat 111. The blowing hole 21 is connected to the air guide hole 20 after following the rotation of the receiving seat 111 There is a large friction between the receiving seat 111 and the apple, the conversion mechanism 12, the conversion mechanism 12 is rotatably connected to the inside of the collecting box 1, the conversion mechanism 12 is used for the conversion of the receiving mechanism 11, the conversion mechanism 12 includes a gear ring 121, a bevel gear 122 and a connecting tooth 123, the gear ring 121 is fixedly connected to the surface of the receiving seat 111, the bevel gear 122 is rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating seat 112, and the bevel gear 122 is meshed with the gear ring 121, the connecting tooth 123 is fixedly connected to one side of the bevel gear 122, the inside of the collecting box 1 is fixedly connected with a gear rod 22, the gear rod 22 is meshed with the connecting tooth 123, the other side of the surface of the connecting tooth 123 is fixedly connected with a connecting head 23, the bottom of the connecting head 23 is fixedly connected with a pressure spring 24, and the other end of the pressure spring 24 is fixedly connected to the inside of the collecting box 1.
[0023] Among them, after receiving the apple through the receiving seat 111 and twisting off the fruit stem in cooperation with the buffer capsule 15, the clamping claw 8 is completely separated from the apple. At this time, the apple will press down the receiving seat 111 due to its own gravity, and force the receiving seat 111 to drop to different heights according to the magnitude of gravity. When the gravity of the apple is particularly small, the height of the receiving seat 111 and the conversion seat to drop is relatively low. At this time, the connecting teeth 123 will not mesh with the gear rod 22, and the rotating seat 112 will not rotate. At this time, the airflow injected into the cavity 19 by the telescopic tube 113 will be blown out through the one with the largest aperture among the three air guide holes 20, and blown to the bottom of the apple through the blowing hole 21, so that the apple is blown down from the top of the receiving seat 111; If the weight of the apple is relatively large, the height of the receiving seat 111 will be the largest. At this time, the connecting teeth 123 are meshed with the guide teeth 29, and the gear ring 121 is driven to rotate through the bevel teeth 122, forcing the air guide hole 20 with the smallest aperture to blow out air. Since the aperture through which the air passes is relatively small, the pressure of the air flow will be relatively large at this time, which can ensure that the air flow can blow the relatively large apple from the top of the receiving seat 111. When the apple is of moderate quality, the receiving seat 111 will drop to a certain height and the connecting teeth 123 will also mesh with the gear rod 22, and the rotation amplitude of the receiving seat 111 is smaller than that when the apple is of relatively large quality, so as to ensure that the air guide hole 20 with a relatively moderate diameter is connected with the blowing hole 21, and ensure that the airflow can blow the apple normally.
[0024] The collecting mechanism 13 is arranged inside the collecting box 1. The collecting mechanism 13 is used to buffer and collect the apples transported by the receiving mechanism 11. The collecting mechanism 13 includes a collecting groove 131, a buffer slope 132 and a receiving seat 133. The collecting groove 131 and the buffer slope 132 are both opened inside the collecting box 1, and the buffer slope 132 is arranged to penetrate the collecting box 1. The three receiving seats 133 are fixedly connected to the surface of the collecting box 1, and the buffer slope 132 penetrates to one end outside the collecting box 1. Located above the receiving seat 133, the rotating seat 112 and the receiving seat 111 are both slidably connected to the inside of the collecting tank 131, and the height of the highest point of the three buffer slopes 132 gradually decreases. An air cavity 25 is opened inside the collecting box 1, and a vent 26 is opened on the surface of the buffer slope 132. The bottom end of the vent 26 is connected to the air cavity 25, and the bottom end of the telescopic tube 113 is penetrated by the air cavity 25. An air pump 27 is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the collecting box 1, and the air pump 27 is used to inject air into the air cavity 25.
[0025] Among them, through three buffer slopes 132 with different heights, apples of different masses falling through the receiving seat 111 can be received, and air is continuously injected into the cavity 19 through the air pump 27, forcing the air to be blown out through the vent 26, so as to blow and buffer the apples falling on the surface of the buffer slope 132, further preventing the apples from being damaged by a large number of collisions, and finally entering the receiving seat 133 to be conveniently collected by workers.
[0026] The specific working principle and use method of the present invention are explained in detail below: When in use, in the first step, through the cooperation between the mechanical arm 2 and the connecting arm 3, the cylinder 4 drives the two connecting bars 7 to approach each other through the connecting block 5 and the top bar 6, forcing the clamping claw 8 to clamp the apple to be picked, and at this time, the two half teeth 903 approach each other and dock, and at this time, another top spring 16 will drive the two clamping rings 17 to approach each other, clamping the apple stem, so that the apple is picked from the branch and sent to the inside of the collection box 1, and the clamping claw 8 drives the apple to move When the connecting arm 3 moves to the top of the receiving seat 111, the bottom of the connecting arm 3 will slide with the guide rail 30, so that the connecting arm 3 will drive the clamping claw 8 upward and gradually approach the upper half tooth 903, and force the top of the apple to contact the buffer capsule 15. The guide tooth 29 is driven by the motor 28 to rotate, which can drive the two half teeth 903 to rotate together. Due to the friction between the receiving seat 111, the buffer capsule 15 and the apple, the apple itself will not rotate. Therefore, the half tooth 903 drives the clamping ring 17 to rotate, and the fruit stem is automatically twisted off and removed. In the second step, the apple is received by the receiving seat 111, and after the fruit stem is twisted off in cooperation with the buffer capsule 15, the clamping claw 8 is completely separated from the apple. At this time, the apple will press down the receiving seat 111 due to its own gravity, and force the receiving seat 111 to drop to different heights according to the magnitude of gravity. When the gravity of the apple is particularly small, the height of the receiving seat 111 and the conversion seat to drop is relatively low. At this time, the connecting teeth 123 will not mesh with the gear rod 22, and the rotating seat 112 will not rotate. At this time, the airflow injected into the cavity 19 by the telescopic tube 113 will be blown out through the one with the largest aperture among the three air guide holes 20, and blown to the bottom of the apple through the blowing hole 21, so that the apple is blown down from the top of the receiving seat 111; In the third step, three buffer slopes 132 of different heights can be used to receive apples of different masses falling through the receiving seat 111, and air is continuously injected into the cavity 19 through the air pump 27, forcing the air to be blown out through the vent 26, so as to blow and buffer the apples falling on the surface of the buffer slope 132, further preventing the apples from being damaged by a large number of collisions, and finally entering the receiving seat 133 to be conveniently collected by workers.
[0027] It is further explained that the above-mentioned fixed connection should be understood in a broad sense unless otherwise clearly specified and limited. For example, it can be welding, gluing, or one-piece molding, etc., which are conventional means well known to those skilled in the art.
