The front and rear ends of the support ring 106 are fixedly connected to the material collection line 107, and the free end of the material collection line 107 is fixedly connected to the driving rod 206 (not shown in the figure). Specifically, the expansion disk 105 is rotatably installed on both the front and rear sides of the bottom end of the pruning frame 102, and the expansion disk 105 is connected to the pruning frame 102 through a retaining spring, and a limiting block is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the pruning frame 102, and a limiting slide groove is provided at the upper end of the expansion disk 105, and the limiting block is passed through the inside of the limiting slide groove, so that the expansion disk 105 can only rotate to a certain angle and can also be reset, and a collar is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the expansion disk 105, and the collar is located at a position deviated from the center of the circle, and the material collection line 107 is reversely passed through the inside of the collar (such as Fig.13 As shown in the figure, when the driving rod 206 moves to the left, the expansion disk 105 is driven to rotate through the collar under the action of traction, and the two collars move away from each other under the rotation of the expansion disk 105. Then, the support ring 106 is subjected to forces in two directions and drives the entrance of the transmission tube 4 to expand, so that fruits and vegetables can fall into the interior of the transmission tube 4 better; A sliding groove is provided on the outer surface of the driving rod 206, and a deflation rod 207 is passed through the sliding groove. The end of the deflation rod 207 away from the air cylinder 202 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 205. A transmission rod 203 is provided at the inner left end of the auxiliary shell 201. A sliding opening 114 is provided at the bottom end of the pushing rod 108. The sliding opening 114 is inclined, and the upper end of the transmission rod 203 is passed through the inside of the sliding opening 114. The bottom end of the transmission rod 203 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the rotating rod 205 through a rotating shaft. A support bar 204 is fixedly welded to the inner end of the auxiliary shell 201, and the transmission rod 203 is rotatably connected to the support bar 204. When the pushing rod 108 moves to the left, the transmission rod 203 starts to rotate under the action of the sliding opening 114, and drives the deflation rod 207 to rotate through the rotating rod 205.
[0023] The right end of the driving rod 206 is fixedly connected with a piston 208, which is inserted into the interior of the air cylinder 202 and fits tightly with the inner wall of the air cylinder 202. A sealing rubber ring is sleeved on the outer surface of the piston 208 to increase air tightness. The piston 208 is connected to the air cylinder 202 via a trigger spring 213. The deflation rod 207 is hollow. The right end of the deflation rod 207 and the inner end of the driving rod 206 are both fixedly connected with arc plates, and the two arc plates are in opposite directions, so the deflation rod 207 will expose a hole. Specifically, a sealing rubber ring is sleeved on the right end of the deflation rod 207. When the driving rod 206 moves to the left, the arc plate inside the driving rod 206 blocks the hole at the right end of the deflation rod 207, so that the air on the right side of the piston 208 cannot pass through the interior of the deflation rod 207. like Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the inner end of the driving rod 206 is fixedly connected with an isolation plate 211 and is located on the right side of the arc plate. A plurality of air leakage holes are opened on the outer surface of the isolation plate 211. A center rod 209 is passed through the inner end of the isolation plate 211. A sealing sheet 210 is fixedly welded on the outer surface of the center rod 209. The sealing sheet 210 is made of rubber material and blocks the air leakage holes on the outer surface of the isolation plate 211 after moving to the left. The left end of the center rod 209 is fixedly connected with a push sheet 212, and the push sheet 212 is located on the left side of the isolation plate 211. On the side, a rectangular block is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the push piece 212, and a rectangular groove is opened on the inner wall of the driving rod 206. The rectangular block slides in the rectangular groove to prevent the push piece 212 from rotating and avoiding collision with the arc plate on the inner wall of the driving rod 206. The push piece 212 corresponds to the deflation rod 207, and the right end of the center rod 209 is exposed on the right side of the piston 208. When the piston 208 moves to the right side, until the center rod 209 contacts the inner right end of the air cylinder 202, the center rod 209 moves to the left side.
[0024] Example 3: Please refer to Figure 8 - Fig.12 , a robot, based on embodiments 1 and 2, the buffer device includes a pressure relief box 301, the pressure relief box 301 is fixedly connected to the left side of the cargo box 1 by bolts, the left end of the cargo box 1 is fixedly connected with a buffer bag 41, and the buffer bag 41 is fixedly connected to the outlet of the transmission pipe 4 by a cable tie, and the fruit and vegetable products fall into the buffer bag 41 under the action of gravity to avoid direct hard contact with the inner wall of the cargo box 1, which causes the outer surface of the fruit and vegetable to be bumped and damaged, the inner end of the pressure relief box 301 is rotatably connected with a winding rod 304, the winding rod 304 and the pressure relief box 301 are connected by a reset torsion spring 303, the outer surface of the winding rod 304 is wound with a pulling belt 302, and the free end of the pulling belt 302 is fixedly connected to the right bag opening of the buffer bag 41 by a cable tie; The upper end of the force release box 301 is penetrated with a movable shell 305, and the upper end of the movable shell 305 is in contact with the bottom end of the pulling belt 302. Specifically, the buffer bag 41 is a trapezoidal shape (not a standard trapezoidal shape). When the buffer bag 41 is filled with fruits and vegetables, its center of gravity is to the right, and the movable shell 305 is pressed downward under the action of gravity. At this time, the winding rod 304 rotates under the elastic force of the return torsion spring 303, winding the pulling belt 302, so that the bag opening of the buffer bag 41 faces the cargo box 1, and then the fruits and vegetables fall into the cargo box 1 under the action of gravity, completing the picking and collection; The inner end of the force release box 301 is fixedly connected to two reset push cylinders 306 through a clamp, and the upper ends of the two reset push cylinders 306 are penetrated with reset rods 307, and the upper ends of the reset rods 307 are fixedly connected to the inner end of the movable shell 305. The inner end of the force release box 301 is fixedly connected to a trigger cylinder 308, and the front and rear ends of the trigger cylinder 308 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the two reset push cylinders 306; like Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Fig.10 As shown, specifically, a pneumatic pump 42 is provided at the bottom end of the cargo box 1, and an output end of the pneumatic pump 42 is fixedly connected to an air guide tube 309, and the air guide tube 309 has two output ends, which are respectively fixedly connected to the input ends of the air cylinder 202 and the trigger cylinder 308; The inner end of the trigger cylinder 308 is penetrated by a gas cylinder 314, and the outer surface of the gas cylinder 314 is provided with a gas hole 315. After the gas cylinder 314 moves downward, the gas hole 315 is communicated with the gas pipe 309, and the gas cylinder 314 and the trigger cylinder 308 are connected by a blocking spring 316. A passive rod 310 is penetrated by the upper end of the gas cylinder 314, and the passive rod 310 and the gas cylinder 314 are connected by a buffer spring 313. A connecting ring 318 is fixedly welded on the outer surface of the passive rod 310, and a plurality of hooks 317 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting ring 318. A snap ring is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the upper end of the trigger cylinder 308, and the bottom ends of the snap hooks 317 are beveled, and the snap hooks 317 are made of elastic metal. After the passive rod 310 moves downward, the beveled surface of the bottom end of the snap hook 317 contacts the outer surface of the snap ring, and the snap ring is clamped after being subjected to a continuous downward extrusion force. like Figure 8 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 As shown, the outer surface of the passive rod 310 is sleeved with a movable sleeve 311, and the movable sleeve 311 is connected to the hook 317 by an unlocking rope 312. After the movable sleeve 311 moves upward, the hook 317 is pulled by the unlocking rope 312 to make it detach from the connection between the clamping rings. Specifically, the diameter of the movable sleeve 311 is larger than the distance between the two relative hooks 317 to avoid the problem that the unlocking rope 312 cannot pull the hook 317. A plurality of extension blocks 319 are fixedly welded on the outer surface of the passive rod 310, and a plurality of rectangular holes are opened on the outer surface of the movable sleeve 311, and each extension block 319 is penetrated inside the rectangular hole. More specifically, a push plate is fixedly installed at the inner end of the movable shell 305, and the push plate corresponds to the passive rod 310. After the movable shell 305 is completely moved to the bottom end, the push plate presses the passive rod 310 completely downward. At this time, the hook 317 will be connected to the snap ring, and the air hole 315 is connected to the air pipe 309. Before the air hole 315 is completely connected to the air pipe 309, the fruits and vegetables inside the buffer bag 41 have fallen into the interior of the cargo box 1.
[0025] The working principle of the present invention is: During operation, the position of fruits and vegetables is identified by the visual sensor, and then the output shafts of the two steering motors are rotated respectively, and the electric push rod inside the articulated arm 3 is driven to make the pruning frame 102 close to the branches connected to the fruits and vegetables, and then the output end of the driving motor 111 drives the transmission gear 113 to rotate through the driving gear 112, and then the push rod 108 moves to the right, and pulls the saw teeth 104 to rotate through the reset line 110, and the fruits and vegetables are picked from the branches. At the same time, under the movement of the push rod 108, the sliding mouth 114 at the bottom drives the transmission rod 203 to deflect, and then drives the deflation rod 207 to rotate through the rotating rod 205 (before the deflation The hole on the right side of the air rod 207 is blocked by the arc plate at the inner end of the driving rod 206), and then the hole on the right side of the air release rod 207 is exposed, so that the air on the right side of the piston 208 leaks quickly, triggering the spring 213 to release the elastic force and push the piston 208 to move to the right. At this time, the movement of the piston 208 drives the driving rod 206 to move. At this time, the driving rod 206 moves through the receiving line 107 to pull the support ring 106 to rotate, and the inlet of the transmission tube 4 is set on the outer surface of the fruits and vegetables. It is worth mentioning that when the push rod 108 starts to move, the support ring 106 has been triggered, and the fruits and vegetables are not completely cut off at this time, so the fruits and vegetables will not fall to the ground prematurely; When the piston 208 moves to the right, until the center rod 209 contacts the inner right end of the air cylinder 202, the center rod 209 is subjected to a force to move to the left, and then the sealing plate 210 seals the isolation plate 211. Since the air inside the air cylinder 202 is continuously filled, the piston 208 moves to the left, and the push rod 108 restores the deflation rod 207 to its initial state during the resetting process. Then the piston 208 moves to the left until the push plate 212 contacts the deflation rod 207. Under the continuous squeezing force, the center rod 209 moves to the right, and at this time, the arc plate inside the driving rod 206 blocks the hole at the right end of the deflation rod 207 again. When fruits and vegetables fall from the transmission tube 4 into the buffer bag 41, the movable shell 305 moves downward under the driving force of gravity, and the pulling belt 302 becomes loose. At this time, the winding rod 304 rotates under the elastic force of the reset torsion spring 303, and the pulling belt 302 is wound around its outer surface, so that the bag opening of the buffer bag 41 faces the cargo box 1. Then, the fruits and vegetables fall into the cargo box 1 under the action of gravity, and the reset rod 307 is also retracted into the reset push cylinder 306. Then, the push plate presses the passive rod 310 completely downward. At this time, the hook 317 is connected to the snap ring, and the buffer spring 313 is compressed (the buffer spring The elastic force of 313 is greater than the elastic force of the hook 317), the air guide hole 315 is connected to the air guide tube 309, and the interior of the reset push cylinder 306 is also in an inflated state, so that the reset rod 307 moves upward, which drives the movable shell 305 to move upward, and then the passive rod 310 moves upward under the elastic force of the buffer spring 313. After moving upward for a distance, the movable sleeve 311 is driven to move upward through the extension block 319, and the hook 317 is pulled over by the unlocking rope 312, so that the hook 317 is disconnected from the connection with the clamp ring, and the movable shell 305 is then restored to the initial position, and then the buffer bag 41 waits for the next fruit or vegetable to fall in.
