[0020] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] Example 1: Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 It is a side view schematic diagram of the overall structure of the fruit and vegetable picking vehicle of the present invention. Figure 2 1 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the fruit and vegetable picking vehicle of the present invention at the AA' plane, and the figure includes a first chassis 2 and a second chassis 3, and the first chassis 2 and the second chassis 3 together serve as the action mechanism of the present invention, and the bottom of the gate-shaped outer frame 1 is connected across the top surfaces of the first chassis 2 and the second chassis 3, and the gate-shaped outer frame 1 is a hollow structure, and a fully enclosed or semi-enclosed structure can be formed on all sides, and the overall structure can be fully automatically moved under the visual guidance of an external camera 106 fixedly arranged on the outer surface of the gate-shaped outer frame 1; at least one manipulator 101 is arranged on the inner surface of the gate-shaped outer frame 1, and the manipulator 101 is mainly used to carry a picker, and the picker can have many forms according to the types of fruits and vegetables to be picked. Any that meet the conditions and can be effectively installed in the structure of the present invention should be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention and will not be repeated in the subsequent description; a multifunctional preferred picker can be referred to Figure 3 , Figure 31 is a schematic side view of a manipulator 101 and a picker of the present invention, including a manipulator 101, a connecting shaft 1011, a cutting knife 1012, a rotating wheel 1013, an electric-controlled clamp 1014 and a camera 1015. The manipulator 101 is preferably a six-axis manipulator 101, which has a high degree of freedom and can pick fruits and vegetables on plants at various angles. The preferred structure of the manipulator 101 should ensure that all positions where fruits and vegetables may be distributed on the currently picked plants can be covered, or the preferred manipulator 101 is slidably connected to the gate-shaped outer frame 1 through a guide rail structure. In another preferred structure, the manipulator 101 will be provided with a plurality of manipulators, which cooperate with each other in a collaborative manner to jointly complete the picking of plants. Picking, a camera 1015 is fixedly set on the manipulator 101, and the manipulator 101 is accurately positioned through the visual guidance of the camera 1015 to capture the distribution of fruits and vegetables on the plant, and to guide the cutting position of the cutting knife 1012; one end of the connecting shaft 1011 is fixed on the manipulator 101, and the other end is fixed to the cutting knife 1012. Preferably, the connecting shaft 1011 is a universal shaft, which can carry the cutting knife 1012 in front to rotate at multiple angles. Based on this design, it can have better adaptability for some fruits and vegetables with special growth directions (for example: chili peppers), and can further increase the flexibility of the picker. It should be noted that for each additional manipulator 101, a camera 1015 should be added accordingly.
[0022] The camera 1015 is preferably a 3D camera with color information recognition, and specifically can be an RGB-D camera. The main advantage of using an RGB-D camera is that a large number of fruits and vegetables have large color differences between mature and unripe states. The pickable parts of the fruits and vegetables can be efficiently judged through RGB recognition, and then the spatial coordinate position information of the fruits and vegetables to be picked is judged through depth information, and the position information is transmitted to the manipulator 101, so that the manipulator 101 can accurately pick the fruits and vegetables; considering outdoor night picking or insufficient lighting due to structural problems and application scenario problems, a light source 107 as shown in the figure can be added. The preferred light source 107 is fixedly arranged on the gate-shaped outer frame 1, the first chassis 2 and / or the second chassis 3 and illuminates toward the center of the gate-shaped outer frame 1. The use of a fixed position light source can make the light distribution more uniform, which is beneficial to the effect of visual detection, but setting the light source 1016 on the manipulator 101 or the camera 1015 is still a possible implementation method of the present invention.
[0023] The cutting knife 1012 is generally used to cut the branches and stems of fruits and vegetables to complete the process of peeling fruits and vegetables from plants. Figure 3 The electric-controlled clamping claw 1014 in the fruit and vegetable flexibly clamps the main part of the fruit and vegetable to complete the process from cutting to picking. Figure 3A preferred structure shown includes a rotating wheel 1013, which is fixedly arranged below the cutting knife 1012. A plurality of electrically controlled clamps 1014 are arranged on the edge of the rotating wheel 1013. When a cutting and clamping task is completed, the next electrically controlled clamp 1014 in an idle state is rotated to the bottom of the cutting knife 1012 through the axial rotation of the rotating wheel 1013 to wait for the next cutting.
[0024] After cutting, the robot 101 will carry the picked fruits and vegetables to the surface of the collecting mechanism 105. The collecting mechanism 105 opens the inner surface of the gate-shaped outer frame 1 and is connected to the inside of the gate-shaped outer frame 1, and includes a conveyor belt 1051 and a storage mechanism. The storage mechanism is arranged inside the gate-shaped outer frame 1, and the end of the conveyor belt 1051 is connected to the storage mechanism. The conveyor belt 1051 is a fully automatic structure. After the robot 101 places the picked fruits and vegetables on the conveyor belt 1051, the conveyor belt 1051 carries the fruits and vegetables into the storage mechanism, and the user can take out the collected fruits and vegetables through the material taking window 1052.
[0025] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the side view structure of the telescopic umbrella of the present invention. In actual picking tasks, since some types of fruits and vegetables grow in a multi-layer branching structure, this means that many fruits and vegetables may be hidden in a position that cannot be photographed by the camera 1015. Therefore, it is necessary to use a sorting device to sort the plants so that the fruits that may be hidden inside the plants are exposed to the field of view of the camera 1015, so that the camera 1015 can identify them and the robot 101 can pick them.
[0026] In this embodiment, the distribution device is composed of a telescopic mechanism 103 and a telescopic umbrella 104. The telescopic mechanism 103 and the telescopic umbrella 104 are arranged on the inner side of the top plate of the gate-shaped outer frame 1. The telescopic umbrella 104 is composed of an umbrella pole and a plurality of umbrella ribs. Two adjacent umbrella ribs are fixedly connected by a non-rigid grille 1041 to form a tension structure. The aperture of the grille 1041 can be adjusted according to the type of fruits and vegetables to be picked; the telescopic mechanism 103 can push and pull the telescopic umbrella 104 in the vertical direction through the action of the power cylinder, and collect the sparse point cloud of the plant through the visual recognition of the camera 1015 to simulate the basic outline of the plant, so as to fine-tune the position of the fruit and vegetable picking vehicle. After determining that the telescopic umbrella 104 is in the ideal position, the fruit and vegetable picking vehicle stops moving and remains in place, and the telescopic umbrella 104 pushes the umbrella ribs through the automatic control mechanism to open the telescopic umbrella 104. The automatic control device includes an automatic slider 1042, the automatic slider 1042 realizes automatic control of the telescopic umbrella 104 through the power cylinder; when in use, the telescopic umbrella 104 will be pressed down to different predetermined positions or positions guided by machine vision according to different plants, and the non-rigid grille 1041 will be used to separate the plants, exposing more fruits and vegetables for visual identification and picking by the manipulator 101. After picking is completed, the power cylinder works to make the telescopic mechanism 103 lift the telescopic umbrella 104 and tighten the umbrella ribs, and decide whether to change the position and press down and open again for picking preparation according to the current volume of the plant; a preferred structure is to set a sliding mechanism 102 on the inner surface of the top plate of the gate-shaped outer frame 1, and fix the telescopic mechanism 103 on the moving unit of the sliding mechanism 102 to realize the function of adjusting the position of the telescopic umbrella 104 through the sliding mechanism 102, and the preferred sliding mechanism 102 is a multi-axis truss.
[0027] Embodiment 2: The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the present embodiment adopts a shifting fork 107, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 This is a schematic side view of the overall structure of the fruit and vegetable picking vehicle with a split fork structure according to the present invention. Figure 6 It is a top view schematic diagram of the shift fork of the present invention, the shift fork 107 includes at least one straight arm 1071, at least one curved arm 1072 and at least one fork hand 1073, and the shift fork 107 shown in the figure only shows an optional structure, including a straight arm 1071 and two curved arms 1072, the straight arm 1071 and the curved arm 1072 are hinged, and several curved arms 1072 are hinged, and the hinge shaft is an electric shaft, which is automatically controlled by electric power, and the end of the curved arm 1072 is connected to the fork hand 1073. The connection method can be a fixed connection, or it can be the same as the connection of the curved arm 1072, that is, connected by an electric shaft to ensure the freedom of the fork hand 1073.
[0028] The present invention can refer to the following work flow when working: first, ensure that the first chassis 2 and the second chassis 3 are respectively straddling the left and right sides of the plants to be picked, then use the external camera 106 to guide the fruit and vegetable picking vehicle, drive the chassis forward through the power mechanism, and use the camera 1015 to visually guide the manipulator 101 to confirm whether the fruit and vegetable picking vehicle has reached a position where picking can be done. After determining that it is in a position where picking can be done, the fruit and vegetable picking vehicle stops moving forward.
[0029] The camera 1015 determines whether there are parts that can be picked on the current plant. If there are parts that can be picked, the picking vehicle stays or adjusts the position of the picking vehicle according to the working area of the manipulator 101. If there are no parts that can be picked, the picking vehicle continues to move forward until it moves to the top of the next plant. When the plant has a part that can be picked, the robot 101 extracts the position information of the part that can be picked through the camera 1015, and plans a picking path, and drives the robot 101 to pick the current plant. The robot 101 will give priority to picking the fruits and vegetables that are closest and can be fully identified as a whole; The camera 1015 obtains the position information of the fruits and vegetables, determines the growth direction of the fruits and vegetables, confirms the coordinates of the positions on the fruits and vegetables or the fruit stems that can be cut, and transmits them to the picker, which picks the fruits and vegetables or the fruit stems; When the camera 1015 determines that there are no fruits and vegetables to be picked on the current plant, the sorting device is controlled to invade and sort the current plant according to visual recognition or a preset program, so that the pickable fruits and vegetables that may be hidden inside the plant are exposed within the field of view of the camera 1015. After the exposed fruits and vegetables are picked by the picker, the sorting device is withdrawn to the next point and the sorting task is performed again. After repeated multiple times, the picking task of the current plant is completed; After all visible fruits and vegetables of the current plant are picked, the manipulator 101 is retracted and returned to the initial position. In the initial position, the camera 1015 carried by the manipulator 101 is directed toward the middle position between the first chassis 2 and the second chassis 3 to identify whether the plant is in a position where it can be picked. The fruit and vegetable picking vehicle moves toward the next plant based on the visual guidance of the external camera 106, and determines the stopping position for the next picking cycle based on the image captured by the camera 1015 set on the manipulator 101.
