Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of agricultural automated harvesting, and in particular to a robot for automatically harvesting, arranging and packing green leafy vegetables into baskets. Background Art
[0002] As a green production model of modern agriculture, vegetable greenhouses are widely used in the cultivation of crops such as leafy vegetables. The current vegetable greenhouse planting and harvesting operations mainly rely on manual operations, especially in the harvesting of leafy vegetables. Because the crops grow close to the ground and the leaves are fragile and easily damaged, mechanized harvesting is difficult. The existing automated harvesting equipment has a low technical level, and the main problems are low crop harvesting efficiency, difficulty in automatic sorting and basketing, and limited equipment application scenarios. The overall system is not electrified and intelligent, and it is difficult to meet the dual needs of efficiency and quality in large-scale agricultural production. In addition, the greenhouse environment places higher requirements on the flexibility, environmental perception and multi-functional integration of equipment, but it is difficult for existing technical products on the market to fully meet them.
[0003] Currently, there are very few types of green leafy vegetable harvesters available, and most of them are not automated equipment and require human operation. The few harvesters with automated functions have low harvesting efficiency and it is difficult to automate the entire process of harvesting and loading into baskets. There are even fewer devices that have automatic driving functions.
[0004] With the rapid development of robotics technology, modern agriculture has an increasing demand for efficient, precise, and intelligent harvesting equipment. For example, patent application CN118901348A discloses an integrated device for vegetable planting, maintenance, and harvesting and framing. The equipment realizes an organic combination of functions such as planting and maintenance, harvesting, and framing, and meets the full automation of vegetable operations from planting to harvesting and framing. However, the equipment does not have a cutting knife that can be close to the ground surface, making it difficult to harvest leafy vegetables without roots, and its automatic basket loading function is also difficult to achieve automatic basket delivery and out of the basket. Harvesting robots have gradually become a key direction for solving the above problems. At the same time, how to achieve full-process automated control of the various functions of the harvesting robot is also a problem that needs to be solved at present. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned prior art and to provide a robot for automatic harvesting, sorting and basketing of leafy vegetables, which integrates the full-process automation functions of harvesting, sorting, basketing and basket delivery, and relies on the controller to accurately manage each system to achieve highly integrated operations.
[0006] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0033] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This embodiment is implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention, and provides a detailed implementation method and specific operation process, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0034] Abbreviations involved:
[0035] Inertial Measurement Unit, IMU
[0036] Example 1
[0037] This embodiment provides a robot for automatically harvesting, arranging and packing green leafy vegetables. Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a lower computer, a power supply system, an electronic profiling system 1, a walking control system 2, a harvesting control system 3, a sorting and basketing system 4, a remote control system 5 and an environmental perception system 6.

[0039] The power supply system realizes the real-time display of the robot battery voltage and the real-time display of the remaining power. The voltage conversion and power supply functions of each system realize the power supply of each module. The modules of the harvesting control system 3 and the walking control system 2 are all powered by 48V directly, and the sorting and basket loading system 4 and the environmental perception system 6 are powered by 48V to 24V. The power supply system contains a charging plug that can be connected to an external power adapter to charge the entire robot.
[0040] The electronic profiling system 1 includes a relay group, a profiling wheel electric push rod and a profiling wheel, which are used to collect ground height information through the profiling wheel. The cylinder motor is connected to the digital output port of the lower computer control system STM32 controller through the cylinder motor driver, and the electric push rod is connected to the digital output port of the STM32 controller through the relay group. The two are coordinated with each other and can adjust the cutter height in real time through the ground height information. The adjustment process of the cutter height is as follows: Figure 4As shown, when the robot is in automatic mode, the electronic profiling system 1 will continue to run. When the ground height changes, the height of the cutter will be inappropriate. The profiling wheel is connected to the robot through the profiling wheel electric push rod. When the ground rises, the profiling wheel will also rise, and the other end of the profiling wheel electric push rod will drop, otherwise the other end of the profiling wheel electric push rod will rise; there are proximity switch sensors at the upper and lower positions of the other end of the profiling wheel electric push rod to detect the ground height. If any sensor is triggered, it means that the height of the cutter is inappropriate at the current ground height. At this time, the cutter control module adjusts the height of the cutter through the cylinder motor. If the cutter is too low, it will rise, and if it is too high, it will lower until the cutter height is appropriate and stops.
[0041] The walking control system 2 includes a left walking control module and a right walking control module. The walking control module includes a walking motor and a walking motor driver.

[0045] The remote control system 5 includes a remote control and a remote control receiving module, which are used to remotely control the robot to walk, harvest, organize and pack, and switch the control mode of the robot. The remote control has two joysticks, several levers and several buttons. All functions of the robot can be controlled by the remote control. The remote control receiving module adopts the SBUS protocol and is converted into a serial port to connect to the lower computer to exchange information, thereby realizing efficient communication between the remote control receiving module and the remote control.
[0046] The environmental perception system 6 includes a host computer, a dynamic 360-degree laser radar and an IMU module. The host computer is connected to the lower computer, and the laser radar and IMU module are connected to the host computer.

[0048] The robot is divided into walking mode and working mode according to working requirements. When the robot is in walking mode, the maximum walking speed of the robot increases to fast, and the harvesting control system 3 and the sorting and basket loading system 4 are turned off. When the robot is in working mode, the maximum walking speed of the robot decreases to slow, and the harvesting control system 3 and the sorting and basket loading system 4 are automatically turned on.
