This traditional method has problems such as high labor intensity, high labor cost, and low efficiency. Especially in large-scale plant factories, frequent manual harvesting is difficult to meet the requirements of high-density and large-scale production. Although some automated harvesting equipment has been proposed, most of its designs are for single-plant harvesting. For example, a robotic arm moving clamping mechanism is used for clamping, and a cutting mechanism is used for root cutting and harvesting operations, which has deficiencies such as low harvesting efficiency. At the same time, few existing equipment can achieve the orientation of the plants upside down after root cutting to prepare for the removal of abnormal leaves of hydroponic lettuce in the subsequent process.

By clamping the cultivation plate in the card slots of the limiting pushing bars, the precise conveying of the cultivation plate along with the conveying chain can be realized. The first motor 101 drives the driving shaft 105 to rotate, thereby driving the two first driving sprockets 103 to rotate, and then driving the two conveying chains 116 and a number of first idler wheels 118 to rotate, and finally conveying the cultivation plate placed on the conveying chain 116.The outer link sections of the conveyor chain 116 have three forms, including single-hole bent plates on one side, single-hole vertical plates on one side, and double-hole bent plates on one side, which are formed according to a certain rule. Among them, the single-hole bent plates on one side are used to support the cultivation plates, the single-hole vertical plates on one side are used to limit and support the plates to prevent them from moving sideways on both vertical sides in the conveying direction, and the double-hole bent plates on one side are used to install the limit push bars. The chain guide 117 is installed inside the frame 109 to support the conveyor chain 116, keeping the working part of the conveyor chain 116 on a horizontal plane and realizing the stable and accurate conveyance of the cultivation plates.

[0035] In actual production, there are two specifications of cultivation plates, namely the first cultivation plate 110 and the second cultivation plate 111. The two cultivation plates are of a symmetrical structure, so each has a semi-circular notch. Considering the distribution of the holes on the cultivation plates, the designed harvesting equipment has requirements for the pose of the cultivation plates, that is, for both the first cultivation plate 110 and the second cultivation plate 111, the side with the semi-circular notch needs to be placed on the same side. When manually transporting the cultivation plates to the precise positioning and conveying mechanism of the cultivation plates, errors may occur, so a positioning detection sensing device 112 is required to detect the semi-circular notch to determine whether the pose of the cultivation plates is correct.

[0036] The positioning detection sensing device 112 includes a detection cylinder 11201, a proximity switch mounting strip 11202, proximity switches 11203, switch mounting seats 11204, elastic brackets 11205, and collision blocks 11206; the detection cylinder 11201 is fixedly installed on one side of the inlet end of the cultivation plate on the frame 109, and the piston rod of the detection cylinder 11201 faces the cultivation plate on the precise positioning conveying mechanism 1 of the cultivation plate. The proximity switch mounting strip 11202 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the detection cylinder 11201. Two elastic brackets 11205 are also installed in the proximity switch mounting strip 11202. The two elastic brackets 11205 are arranged at intervals in sequence along the conveying direction of the cultivation plate. One end of each elastic bracket 11205 close to the precise positioning conveying mechanism 1 of the cultivation plate is connected to the corresponding collision block 11206. Corresponding proximity switches 11203 are installed in the proximity switch mounting strip 11202 near each elastic bracket 11205 through the corresponding switch mounting seats 11204. The proximity switches 11203 are used to detect the state of the elastic brackets 11205. The other end of each elastic bracket 11205 is a metal head, which is used as an induction target. If a notch is detected, the collision block 11206 will not contact the cultivation plate, and the elastic bracket will have no reaction; if no notch is detected, the collision block 11206 contacts the cultivation plate, the elastic bracket moves backward, and the proximity switch 11203 detects the metal head and generates a signal. It is necessary to combine the results of this detection of the positioning detection sensing device 112 and the results of the previous detection to judge whether the cultivation plate is placed correctly: when the proximity switch 11203 close to the inlet did not detect a notch and had a signal in the previous detection, and the proximity switch 11203 far from the inlet did not detect a notch in this detection, it means that the previous cultivation plate was placed incorrectly; when the proximity switch 11203 close to the inlet did not detect a notch in the previous detection, and the proximity switch 11203 far from the inlet detected a notch and had no signal in this detection, it means that the previous cultivation plate was placed correctly; when the proximity switch 11203 close to the inlet detected a notch in the previous detection, and the proximity switch 11203 far from the inlet did not detect a notch in this detection, it means that the previous cultivation plate was placed correctly; when the proximity switch 11203 close to the inlet detected a notch in the previous detection, and the proximity switch 11203 far from the inlet detected a notch in this detection, it means that the previous cultivation plate was not placed.

[0037] Such as Figure 3As shown in the figure, the root fixing and removing mechanism 2 includes a first pin shaft 201, a acetal gasket 202, a cylinder seat 203, a first joint block 204, a single-axis cylinder 205, a second joint block 206, a third joint block 207, a thrust needle roller bearing 208, a rocker 209, a rotating shaft 210 and root clamping fingers; both ends of the rotating shaft 210 are respectively connected to the corresponding third joint block 207 through the corresponding thrust needle roller bearings 208. The rotating shaft 210 is horizontally arranged and the axial direction of the rotating shaft 210 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the cultivation plate. A number of root clamping fingers are fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 210 at intervals along the axial direction, and specifically there are six root clamping fingers. The root clamping fingers face the entrance of the cultivation plate; each third joint block 207 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the frame 109 of the cultivation plate precise positioning and conveying mechanism 1. One ends of the two rockers 209 are coaxially and fixedly connected to the corresponding ends of the rotating shaft 210 respectively. The 2 single-axis cylinders 205 are fixedly connected to the corresponding first joint blocks 204 through the corresponding cylinder seats 203, and the cylinder seat 203 is fixedly connected to the first joint block 204 through the first pin shaft 201 and the acetal gasket 202. Each first joint block 204 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the frame 109 of the cultivation plate precise positioning and conveying mechanism 1. The other ends of the two rockers 209 are respectively hinged to the piston rods of the corresponding single-axis cylinders 205 through the corresponding second joint blocks 206. The moving direction of the piston rod of the single-axis cylinder 205 is parallel to the conveying direction of the cultivation plate. The installation height of the third joint block 207 is higher than that of the cylinder seat 203. The single-axis cylinder 205 drives the rotating shaft 210 to rotate through the second joint block 206 and the rocker 209, so as to change the direction of the root clamping fingers.

[0038] Each root clamping finger includes a single-hole fixed clamp 211, a finger cylinder mounting block 212, a finger cylinder 213 and a sponge block clamping finger 214; the finger cylinder mounting block 212 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 210 through the single-hole fixed clamp 211. The finger cylinder 213 is fixedly connected to the finger cylinder mounting block 212. The sponge block clamping finger 214 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the finger cylinder 213. The driving direction of the piston rod of the finger cylinder 213 is parallel to the conveying direction of the cultivation plate. The opening direction of the sponge block clamping finger 214 faces the entrance of the cultivation plate. The sponge block clamping finger 214 is used for clamping and fixing the roots in the sponge block. Considering the interchangeability of parts, the left and right sponge block clamping fingers are designed with the same structure. When the piston rod of the single-axis cylinder 205 is in the fully extended state, the finger cylinder 213 is horizontally placed and its fingers are opened to prepare for clamping the sponge block for fixation. After the cutting action is completed, the roots and the sponge block remain in the cultivation holes of the cultivation plate. The piston rod of the single-axis cylinder 205 retracts, driving the rotating shaft 210 to rotate by a certain angle, and the sponge block in the cultivation hole is pulled out. Subsequently, the finger cylinder 213 is opened and the sponge block falls into the trash bin 108.

[0039] As Figure 4As shown in the figure, the root cutting mechanism 3 includes a cutter 301, a cutter mounting strip 303, a reinforcing plate 302, an angle-adjustable cutting mechanism, and a first synchronization mechanism. A number of cutters 301 arranged at intervals in sequence are fixedly installed in the cutter mounting strip 303.

The arrangement direction of the cutters 301 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the cultivation plate, and the cutters 301 face the entrance of the cultivation plate. Six cutters 301 are arranged at equal intervals. Since the hole positions on the cultivation plate are arranged alternately in odd and even positions, by using the odd and even position cutter alternating working mechanism, multi-plant simultaneous harvesting of lettuce plants under high density is achieved. A reinforcing plate 302 is also provided on the cutter mounting strip 303. A number of mounting holes are provided in the reinforcing plate 302, and the bottoms of all the cutters 301 are respectively arranged in the corresponding mounting holes. The cutter mounting strip 303 is connected to the angle-adjustable cutting mechanism. Specifically, the two end portions of the cutter mounting strip 303 are respectively hinged to the tops of the corresponding rotary supports 315 through the corresponding rotary bars 305.

A corresponding translation mechanism cutter is installed on each root cutting mechanism mounting plate 321. The two end portions of the cutter mounting strip 303 are respectively hinged to one end of the corresponding rotary support 315 through the corresponding rotary bar 305. The rotary bar 305 can perform a rotary motion around the pin shaft. Its rotation center is accurately positioned on the geometric extension line of the blade edge of the cutter 301 in the fully extended state. This design ensures a high-precision match between the angle rotation adjustment process and the cutter operation trajectory. The other end of the rotary support 315 is fixedly connected to the sliding base 317 of the translation mechanism. The middle part of the rotary bar 305 is hinged to one end of the angle adjustment rod 314, and the other end of the angle adjustment rod 314 is hinged to the sliding base 317 of the translation mechanism.

[0041] When the clamping mechanism of the root cutting mechanism performs the clamping action, it needs to move away from the working position. After the clamping mechanism completes the clamping, the root cutting mechanism enters the working position to perform the cutting action and immediately resets after the action is completed. In order to ensure that the root cutting mechanism and the clamping mechanism do not interfere with each other, the present invention proposes a translation mechanism. The translation mechanism includes a sliding base 317, a first slider 316, a first guide rail 318, a first U-shaped plate 319, a first floating joint 320, a first cylinder mounting block 322, and a translation cylinder 323; a first cylinder mounting block 322 is fixedly installed on each root cutting mechanism mounting plate 321, a translation cylinder 323 is installed in the first cylinder mounting block 322, and the movement direction of the piston rod of the translation cylinder 323 is parallel to the conveying direction of the cultivation plate; each root cutting mechanism mounting plate 321 is further provided with a first guide rail 318, a first slider 316 is slidably installed on the first guide rail 318, the sliding base 317 is fixedly installed on the first slider 316, the piston rod of the translation cylinder 323 is connected to the sliding base 317 through the first U-shaped plate 319 and the first floating joint 320, and a rotating support 315 is fixedly installed on the sliding base 317.

The first synchronization mechanism can achieve the forced synchronous movement of the two side translation cylinders 323 through mechanical coupling, and solve the problem of inconsistent cylinder movement speeds caused by factors such as air pressure, load distribution, friction, and manufacturing errors.

When the cutting cylinder 30102 drives the blade 30110, it also drives the second guide rail 30101 to move. When the cutting tool 301 works, the piston rod extends. Under the action of the second slider 30103 and the second guide rail 30101, the blade can only move in one direction.

[0049] As Figure 10As shown in the figure, the left finger group and the right finger group are alternately installed on the long pin shaft 40202 of the clamping chain 40209, forming eight workstations, namely the clamping workstation A, the transfer workstation B, the vegetable unloading workstation C, the no-load workstation D, the no-load workstation E, the no-load workstation F, the no-load workstation G, and the no-load workstation H. The distance between two adjacent workstations is two step distances. The clamping chain 40209 needs to maintain a horizontal state for a certain distance in front of the clamping workstation A, and then realizes the first commutation through an idler wheel, so that it is in a vertical state for a certain distance in the transfer workstation B in this interval; realizes the second commutation through an idler wheel, so that the clamping chain is in a horizontal state for a certain distance again, realizes the third commutation through an idler wheel, so that the clamping chain is in an inclined downward state for a certain distance, and the vegetable unloading workstation C is at the starting point of the inclined line segment interval; realizes the fourth commutation through an idler wheel, so that the clamping chain is in a vertical state for a certain distance again; realizes the fifth commutation through an idler wheel, so that the clamping chain is in a horizontal state for a certain distance again; realizes the sixth commutation through a driving wheel, so that the clamping chain is in a vertical state for a certain distance again; realizes the seventh commutation through an idler wheel, so that the clamping chain is in an inclined downward state for a certain distance again; realizes the eighth commutation through an idler wheel, so that the clamping chain is in a horizontal state for a certain distance again, and the clamping workstation A is at the end of the horizontal line segment interval. The flexible gripper of the finger group maintains a certain angle with the advancing direction of the clamping chain 40209, and this angle can be adjusted by connecting the pin shaft to the rotating shaft 40302, the rotating shaft fixing block 40303, and the crossbeam connecting block 40304. At the clamping workstation A, the flexible gripper performs clamping. The flexible gripper forms a certain angle with the horizontal plane, so that the lettuce 6 is tilted, exposing the roots in the sponge block for the root cutting mechanism to cut; after root cutting, the flexible gripper moves with the clamping chain 40209. When it reaches the vegetable unloading workstation, the angle between the flexible gripper and the horizontal plane increases to the vertical state through idler wheel commutation. At this time, the clamped lettuce plant falls off the gripper by its own gravity and drops onto the hydroponic lettuce conveying mechanism 5.

[0050] As Figure 11 shown, the hydroponic lettuce conveying mechanism 5 includes a lifting mechanism and a belt conveying mechanism; the lifting mechanism is installed on the frame 109 of the cultivation plate precise positioning conveying mechanism 1, and the belt conveying mechanism is installed on the belt conveying mechanism.

[0051] The hydroponic lettuce conveying mechanism 5 further includes a second synchronization mechanism, and the second synchronization mechanism is connected to the belt conveying mechanism for synchronously controlling the lifting movement at both ends of the belt conveying mechanism.

[0052] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder 501, a third guide post 502, a second linear bearing 503, a fixing ring 504, a third horizontal shaft support 505, a cylindrical joint 508, and a support bar 509.

[0053] The lifting cylinder 501 is fixedly installed in the conveying mechanism mounting plate 40201. The third guide columns 502 on both sides of the lifting cylinder 501 are also installed in the conveying mechanism mounting plate 40201 through the corresponding second linear bearings 503 and the third horizontal shaft support 505. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 501 is fixedly connected to the upper support bar 509 through the fixing ring 504 and the cylindrical joint 508. The top of the third guide column 502 is also fixedly connected to the support bar 509, and a belt conveying mechanism is installed on the support bar 509. The belt conveying mechanism includes a third motor, a belt, etc. When the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 501 is fully extended, the belt conveying mechanism is at the highest point, which is used to receive the lettuce falling from the unloading station of the clamping mechanism. The shorter the falling distance, the less damage, and the more reliable the lettuce is in an inverted posture after falling. After the lettuce falls, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 501 retracts, the belt conveying mechanism returns to the lowest point, and the belt conveying mechanism is restarted for conveying to prevent the lettuce on the belt conveying mechanism from interfering with the clamping mechanism.

[0054] The second synchronization mechanism includes a second synchronization gear 510, a second synchronization rack 511, a rack mounting block 512, a vertical bearing seat 513 and a second gear connecting shaft 514; the corresponding second synchronization racks 511 are arranged at both ends of the belt conveyor mechanism, and the second synchronization rack 511 is placed along the lifting direction, and is installed on the aluminum profile frame (i.e., the clamping frame) of the multi-station chain mechanism through the rack mounting block 512. The second gear connecting shaft 514 is supported by vertical bearing seats 513 installed on the conveying mechanism frame on both sides, and the second synchronization gears 510 are installed at both ends. The second synchronization gear 510 meshes with the corresponding second synchronization rack 511 to form a second gear rack pair. This design can realize the forced synchronous movement of the lifting cylinders 501 on both sides by mechanical coupling, and solve the problem of inconsistent cylinder movement speed caused by factors such as air pressure, load distribution, friction and manufacturing errors.

[0055] The working process of the present invention is as follows: Manually carry the first cultivation plate 110 and the second cultivation plate 111 with hydroponic lettuce and place them at the inlet end of the cultivation plate precise positioning and conveying mechanism 1 as required. The cultivation plate is stuck in the card slot of the limit push bar composed of the push bar 114 and the limit bar 115. Each time a cultivation plate is placed, the positioning detection sensing device 112 will perform a notch detection on the cultivation plate to determine whether the cultivation plate is placed correctly. If it is judged that the cultivation plate is placed incorrectly, the machine will alarm and stop working; otherwise, it will work normally. When the cultivation plate with hydroponic lettuce reaches the working position, the root fixing and removing mechanism 2 starts to work. The finger cylinder 213 equipped with the sponge block clamp fingers 214 clamps the sponge block and the root system of the lettuce plant below the cultivation plate. At this time, the clamp finger group is stationary and has a stepping distance from the clamping station A. After the roots are fixed, the clamping chain starts to move the clamp finger group a stepping distance, that is, to move to the clamping station A, and at this time, the clamping of the lettuce is completed. Due to the inclined arrangement of the flexible fingers, the lettuce is tilted during the contact process between the fingers and the lettuce. At the same time, the left and right flexible fingers are rotated under the action of the torsion spring by the resistance of the lettuce to adjust the opening of the claw, realizing flexible grasping. After the clamping is completed, the root cutting mechanism 3 starts to work. The angle-adjustable cutting mechanism moves towards the lettuce plant under the action of the translation cylinder 323. After moving to the bottom, the tool starts to work for root cutting. The blade extends under the action of the cutting cylinder 30102 and immediately retracts after root cutting, and then the angle-adjustable cutting mechanism returns to the initial position. The clamping chain starts to move the clamp finger group a stepping distance, that is, to the middle of the clamping station A and the transfer station B. At this time, the root-cut lettuce plant has been separated from the cultivation plate and will not affect the movement of the hydroponic lettuce cultivation plate. At the same time, the root fixing and removing mechanism 2 starts to work. Under the action of the single-axis cylinder 205, the finger cylinder 213 rotates downward by a certain angle, and then the clamp fingers of the finger cylinder 213 are loosened, and the sponge block and the root system fall into the trash bin 108. Subsequently, the root fixing and removing mechanism 2 resets and waits for the arrival of the next row of lettuce plants. When the clamp finger group travels a stepping distance to reach the clamping station A, another clamp finger group also reaches the vegetable unloading station C. At this time, the flexible fingers are in a vertical state, and the lettuce plant clamped by the flexible claw falls off the flexible claw under its own gravity and drops onto the belt conveying mechanism of the hydroponic lettuce conveying mechanism 5 in an inverted posture. After the lettuce falls, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 501 retracts, and the belt conveying mechanism moves to the lowest point. The belt conveying mechanism then starts and conveys the lettuce, avoiding interference between the lettuce on the belt conveying mechanism and the clamp finger group 303 of the clamping mechanism during their respective movements. The cultivation plate with hydroponic lettuce moves, and the next row of lettuce plants enters the working position, starts to repeat the above actions, and cycles continuously.
