Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of agricultural machinery, and in particular to a multifunctional high-ground clearance pineapple harvesting automation equipment. Background Art

[0002] High-quality pineapples are usually cylindrical or oval with slightly pointed ends, of uniform and moderate size, and have a regular shape. When harvesting pineapples, if they are screened in advance at the harvesting site, it can assist growers in quick sorting.

[0003] In some related technologies, there are several ways to screen fruits according to their size. For example, a drum screening machine uses different apertures on an inclined drum for stratified screening. The surface of the drum is provided with multiple levels of gradually increasing holes. Fruits such as oranges and tangerines roll naturally as the drum rotates. Small fruits fall first, and larger fruits continue to move forward to the corresponding aperture area for separation.

[0004] The vibrating screening machine uses a vibrating motor to drive multiple layers of screens to screen by size. The aperture of the multiple layers of screens increases from top to bottom, and the pineapples pass through each layer under the action of vibration, achieving grading from small to extra-large sizes.

[0005] However, the above is for fruits with a rounder shape and a smoother surface. For pineapples, due to the irregular outer diameter of pineapples and the large number of stems and leaves, the above equipment is difficult to apply and the screening effect is poor.
