Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of agricultural machinery, and in particular to an intelligent click-type processing device for fresh grape flowers and fruits. Background Art

[0002] According to statistics, my country's grape cultivation area reaches 783,000 hectares, ranking third in the world. With the continuous increase in rural labor costs, the introduction of agricultural mechanization and automation technologies into grape production is inevitable. During the grapevine's growth process, excessive flowering and insufficient nutrient supply will result in many small and inferior fruits, leading to a reduction in grape yield the following year. Furthermore, an overabundance of grapes can lead to poor appearance and a lower selling price. Therefore, flower and fruit thinning is necessary based on flower and fruit density to ensure that each fruit is of high quality, attractive in appearance, and of moderate weight. Grape flower and fruit thinning involves removing excess flowers and grapes from the grape cluster to facilitate subsequent growth. This process ensures that the grapes maintain an adequate nutrient supply and maintain healthy growth.

[0003] Existing grape flower and fruit thinning operations still rely on manual scissors to remove excess spikelets from the entire grape plant. Semi-automatic manual tools, such as handheld electric flower and fruit thinners, are also used. While these tools offer improved efficiency compared to manual tools, they do not offer standardized flower and fruit management, and their effectiveness is ultimately limited by individual proficiency.

[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0029] The present invention provides an intelligent click-type processing device for flowers and fruits of fresh-eating grapes. The device determines flower and fruit removal decisions and positions based on image recognition results of flowers and fruits, a layout management plan for standardized flowers and fruits of fresh-eating grapes, and different positions of grape flowers and fruits. After receiving a flower and fruit processing decision signal, the device adjusts the number of cutters to be used, controls corresponding motors, drives each knife tip to click, and allows multiple motors to work independently to accurately remove excess flowers and fruits.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an intelligent click-type processing device for fresh grape flowers and fruits, comprising a battery unit, a handle unit, a flower and fruit processing decision unit, and a knife-tip click-type flower and fruit thinning unit;

[0031] The battery unit includes:

[0032] A battery 1, two shoulder straps 2 and a cable 3, wherein the two shoulder straps 2 are respectively arranged on both sides of the battery 1, the lower end of the battery 1 is connected to one end of the cable 3, and the shoulder straps 2 can be carried on a person's back.

[0033] The handle unit includes:

[0034] The scissor-shaped handle 4 can be held by hand during use, and is easy to operate. A switch 5 is provided on the scissor-shaped handle 4 .

[0035] The flower and fruit processing decision-making unit includes:

[0036] Light source transmitter 12; camera 13; retractable curtain 14; intelligent recognition and control system.

[0037] The knife-tip click-type flower and fruit thinning unit includes:

[0038] Several small motors 6, a knife tip fixing frame 7, several cutting knife holes 8, a motor output shaft 9, several knife holders 10, and several cutting knife tips 11.

[0039] One end of the cable 3 passes through the motor 6 and is fixed inside the flat plate of the handle unit, and is connected to each motor 6, the image processing device of the flower and fruit processing decision unit, and the light source emitting device 12. The battery provides power for the motor and the recognition camera and light source emitting device in the flower and fruit processing decision unit, and the flower and fruit processing decision unit provides signals to the motor as a control system. The battery provides power for the motor and the recognition camera and light source emitting device in the flower and fruit processing decision unit, and the flower and fruit processing decision unit provides signals to the motor as a control system. The motor 6 is fixed on one side of the knife tip fixing frame 7. Each motor 6 can work independently. The output shaft 9 of each motor is connected to each knife holder 10 through the cutter hole 8. A cutter 11 is fixed on the knife holder 10. When needed, the motor can drive the cutter to work. When working, the cutter tip 11 is clicked to cut the grape flowers and fruits.

[0040] First, the flowers and fruits are illuminated by the light source emitting device 12 so that the image of the grape flowers and fruits is clearly displayed on the retractable screen 14. The image information of the grape flowers and fruits is obtained by the camera. The intelligent recognition and control system determines the flower and fruit processing decision based on the layout of the standardized flowers and fruits of fresh grapes, and starts the corresponding motor 6 to drive the cutting tip 11 to accurately remove the grape flowers and fruits.

[0041] The present invention operates as follows: The operator straps two straps 2 attached to a battery 1 onto their back, grasps a scissor-like handle 4, activates a power switch 5, and places the device upward over the grape blossoms and berries. First, a light source emitting device 12 projects images of the grape blossoms and berries onto a retractable screen 14. A camera 13 then captures and identifies the images. The intelligent recognition and control system is based on the standardized layout of fresh-table grape blossoms and berries, which can be determined based on relevant standards in grape standardized blossom and fruit management technology. Standardized flower cluster shaping, primarily based on whether seedless cultivation is performed, can be divided into seedless cultivation and seeded cultivation. The camera then captures the image of the fruit bunch, identifies the grape blossoms and berries that need to be removed, and transmits a signal to the corresponding motor 6. The motor 6 then drives the blade tip 11 to begin operation, removing the corresponding grape blossoms and berries. The cut grape blossoms and berries fall directly onto the ground through the hollow area below the device.

[0042] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field can make various changes and modifications without departing from the essence and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions also fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
