[0013] Furthermore, the main frame is provided with a counterweight, which is arranged on both sides of the main frame and the upper cantilever, so as to keep the main frame balanced.

[0018] A method for intelligently removing pomegranate tillers, using the pomegranate tiller intelligent removal device described above, comprises the following steps:

[0019] Step S1: The initial state of the driving mechanism C is to lift the clamping mechanism in the middle of the vertically slidable range; the height of the lifting platform on the lifting platform is adjusted according to the operation requirements of the tillering stubble height;

[0020] Step S2: The pomegranate sucker removal device is driven to move between the rows of the pomegranate orchard. During the movement of the trolley, the horizontal platform of the self-adjusting leveling platform always remains horizontal. The controller uses a ranging camera to find the specific position of the pomegranate tree trunk and makes the clamping symmetric surface of the clamping mechanism face the pomegranate tree trunk.

[0021] Step S3: The clamping portion of the clamping mechanism is opened, and the telescopic cantilever is driven to move by the driving mechanism B, thereby driving the clamping portion of the clamping mechanism to stay outside the pomegranate tree trunk; the clamping portion of the clamping mechanism is then clamped to the pomegranate tree trunk, and the roller presses the pomegranate tree trunk tightly;

[0025] Step S7: After the trolley walks around the trunk of the pomegranate tree, the driving mechanism D drives the cutting mechanism to move so that the saw blade stays on the new outermost circle of the suckers to be cleaned, and a safe distance is maintained between the saw blade and the trunk of the pomegranate tree;

[0026] Step S8: Repeat step S7; when the distance between the saw blade and the trunk of the pomegranate tree is less than the safe distance, the motor B stops working, and the cutting mechanism is driven by the driving mechanism D to move in the reverse direction and reset; the clamping mechanism is reset to the open state, and the telescopic cantilever is driven by the driving mechanism B to move in the reverse direction and reset; then the driving mechanism C is activated to lift the clamping mechanism back to the middle of its vertically slidable range;

[0027] Step S9: Repeat steps S2 to S8.

[0028] The beneficial effects that can be achieved by the present invention are:

[0029] 1. It can realize automatic positioning and clamping of the clamping mechanism and the pomegranate tree trunk. Under the premise that the clamping mechanism rolls and clamps the pomegranate tree trunk, the trolley realizes a "donkey-pulling-a-mill"-like circular motion around the pomegranate tree trunk through the upper cantilever and the telescopic cantilever, thereby driving the cutting mechanism to thoroughly remove the suckers on the outside of the pomegranate tree trunk in circles. It has a high degree of intelligence, liberates manpower, and improves work efficiency.

[0030] 2. The height of the saw blade can be adjusted according to the height requirements of the tillering and stubble through the lifting platform.

[0031] 3. The setting of the self-adjusting level platform not only keeps the saw blade in a horizontal state at all times, ensuring the tip-free cutting of the tiller, but also cooperates with the free sliding up and down of the clamping mechanism to adapt to the undulating ground.

[0032] 4. The drive mechanism C is configured to switch the clamping mechanism between two states: one in which the clamping mechanism is held in the middle of its vertically slidable range; and the other in which the clamping mechanism is released, allowing it to slide freely vertically up and down at the overhanging end of the telescopic cantilever. This ingenious structural design ensures that the clamping mechanism remains stationary relative to the telescopic cantilever in the unclamped state and can slide freely up and down relative to the telescopic cantilever in the clamped state.

[0058] The method for removing pomegranate tillers using this embodiment comprises the following steps:

[0059] Step S1: The initial state of the driving mechanism C is to lift the clamping mechanism 19 in the middle of the vertical sliding range. According to the operation requirements of the tillering stubble height, adjust the height of the lifting platform 2. Figure 9 As shown, the clamping mechanism 19 is positioned in front of the trolley 1 through the steering mechanism 7, which is beneficial for the trolley 1 to move smoothly.

[0060] Step S2: The pomegranate sucker intelligent removal device is driven by the trolley 1 to move between the rows of the pomegranate orchard. During the movement of the trolley 1, the horizontal platform 4 of the self-adjusting horizontal platform always remains in a horizontal state; the controller finds the specific position of the pomegranate tree trunk 99 through the ranging camera 10; and then the clamping mechanism 19 is turned 90 degrees through the steering mechanism 7, and the clamping symmetric surface of the clamping mechanism 19 faces the pomegranate tree trunk 99. Figure 10 shown.

[0061] Step S3: The clamping part of the clamping mechanism 19 is opened, and the telescopic cantilever 14 is driven to move by the driving mechanism B, thereby driving the clamping part of the clamping mechanism 19 to stay outside the pomegranate tree trunk 99; then the clamping part of the clamping mechanism 19 is clamped to the pomegranate tree trunk 99, and at this time, the roller 1908 presses the pomegranate tree trunk 99. Figure 11 shown.

[0062] Step S4 : The driving mechanism C is activated, and the clamping mechanism 19 is no longer supported, so that the clamping mechanism 19 can slide freely in the vertical up and down direction at the overhanging end of the telescopic cantilever 14 .

[0063] Step S5: The driving mechanism D drives the cutting mechanism to move, so that the saw blade 28 stays on the outermost circle of the shoots to be cleaned, and a safe distance is maintained between the saw blade 28 and the pomegranate tree trunk 99.

[0064] Step S6: According to the distance between the trolley 1 and the trunk 99 of the pomegranate tree, the steering angle of the wheels of the trolley 1 is controlled to drive the trolley 1 to circle around the trunk 99 of the pomegranate tree. At the same time, the motor B29 is used to drive the saw blade 28 to rotate and cut the suckers on the outermost circle.

[0065] Step S7: After the trolley 1 walks around the pomegranate tree trunk 99, the driving mechanism D drives the cutting mechanism to move, so that the saw blade 28 stays on the new outermost circle of the suckers to be cleaned, and a safe distance is maintained between the saw blade 28 and the pomegranate tree trunk 99. Figure 12 shown.

[0066] Step S8: Repeat step S7; when the distance between the saw blade 28 and the pomegranate tree trunk 99 is less than the safety distance, stop the motor B29 and drive the cutting mechanism to move in the reverse direction and reset through the driving mechanism D; reset the clamping mechanism 19 to the open state and drive the telescopic cantilever 14 to move in the reverse direction and reset through the driving mechanism B; then activate the driving mechanism C to lift the clamping mechanism 19 to the middle of its vertical sliding range; and rotate the clamping mechanism 19 in the reverse direction 90° through the steering mechanism 7 to reset it in front of the trolley 1.

[0067] Step S9: Repeat steps S2 to S8.

[0068] The above is only one embodiment of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications made without departing from the concept of the present invention are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
