In actual application, the strawberry stemless picking mechanism is installed on the picking device through the mounting seat, and the movement of the strawberry stemless picking mechanism is controlled by the picking device.
[0029] The miura folded pipeline can be reasonably provided with a plurality of pipelines according to the picking demand, and three pipelines are taken as an example here: miura folded pipeline one 21, miura folded pipeline two 22 and miura folded pipeline three 23 are arranged in order, the two ends of the miura folded pipeline two 22 are connected with the miura folded pipeline one 21 and the miura folded pipeline three 23 respectively, the outer end of the miura folded pipeline one 21 is fixed with the installation platform 1, and the outer end of the miura folded pipeline two 22 is fixed with the fixed platform 4. By adopting miura folding, based on the rigid origami principle, the pipeline can be folded into a compact form when not in use, greatly saving space, reducing the volume of the object, and facilitating storage and management in actual application; at the same time, the miura folding has good structural performance advantages, can adapt to a certain degree of bending and stretching requirements, realize smooth deformation, and further adjust the strawberry picking range and angle, and effectively avoid rupture or damage caused by excessive bending in the actual strawberry picking scene, the folded pipeline also has high strength and stability, the connected folds and structural units can disperse the stress and are not easy to deform.
[0030] As shown in FIG. 6 and Figure 7As shown, the picking claw 7 is composed of a left claw 72, a right claw 71 and a foldable bottom claw 73, the foldable bottom claw 73 is located at the bottom of the left claw 72 and the right claw 71 and connects the bottom of the left claw 72 and the right claw 71 together, the bottom edges of the left claw 72 and the right claw 71 are slidably sleeved on the picking support 6 through the sliding blocks 63; a crease is arranged at the center of the foldable bottom claw 73, through the crease, the foldable bottom claw 73 can be unfolded and folded, a plurality of creases are longitudinally arranged on the left claw 72 and the right claw 71, through the plurality of creases on the left claw 72 and the right claw 71, the left claw 72 and the right claw 71 can be unfolded and closed, and since the left claw 72 and the right claw 71 are connected together through the foldable bottom claw 73, the three can realize linkage effect, therefore, when the foldable bottom claw 73 is folded or unfolded through the crease, the left claw 72 and the right claw 71 will be synchronously unfolded or closed, the picking claw 7 realizes unfolding and grabbing action through folding at the crease, and then realizes the deformation and grabbing function of the picking claw 7.
[0031] A guide rail 66 is horizontally arranged on the rotating table 61 of the picking support 6, two sliding blocks 63 are symmetrically slidably sleeved in the guide rail 66, a vertical plate 64 is vertically fixed above the sliding blocks 63, a connecting plate 74 is vertically fixed at the bottom edges of the left claw 72 and the right claw 71 of the picking claw 7, that is, the position where the foldable bottom claw 73 meets, installation holes 65 are arranged at the corresponding positions of the connecting plate 74 and the vertical plate 64, and the connecting plate 74 and the vertical plate 64 are connected together through the installation holes 65 and bolts. By controlling the two sliding blocks 63 to move close to or away from each other, the folding or releasing of the crease of the foldable bottom claw 73 is realized, and then the unfolding or closing of the left claw 72 and the right claw 71 is controlled. The specific action here is: when the two sliding blocks 63 drive the connecting plate 74 to move close to each other, the foldable bottom claw 73 is folded upward along the crease, at the same time, the connecting plate 74 pulls the bottoms of the left claw 72 and the right claw 71 close to each other, then the tops of the left claw 72 and the right claw 71 move away from each other, and the left claw 72 and the right claw 71 are completely unfolded along the crease, at this time, the picking claw 7 is in an unfolded state, so as to facilitate picking strawberries; when the two sliding blocks 63 drive the connecting plate 74 to move away from each other, the foldable bottom claw 73 is unfolded along the crease, at the same time, the connecting plate 74 pulls the bottoms of the left claw 72 and the right claw 71 away from each other, then the tops of the left claw 72 and the right claw 71 move close to each other, at the same time, the left claw 72 and the right claw 71 are closed along the crease, at this time, the picking claw 7 is in a closed state, and can grab strawberries.
[0032] The picking support table 6 is also provided with an opening and closing control assembly 8 for controlling the unfolding or closing action of the picking claw 7. The opening and closing control assembly 8 comprises a rack 83 vertically arranged on the picking support table 6, the upper end of the rack 83 is connected at the fold of the folding bottom claw 73, the center of the picking support table 6 is provided with a guide hole, the lower end of the rack 83 is movably inserted into the guide hole, a steering engine 81 is installed on the picking support table 6, the output end of the steering engine 81 is fixedly sleeved with a spur gear 82, and the spur gear 82 is engaged with the rack 83. The steering engine 81 controls the rack 83 to move up and down through the spur gear 82, and the rack 83 can push the fold of the folding bottom claw 73 to fold or unfold, and cooperate with the limiting and sliding effect of the bottom of the left claw 72 and the right claw 71 to realize the unfolding or closing action of the picking claw 7. As shown in Figures 8 to 10 , since the angle of the folding bottom claw 73 and the left claw 72 and the right claw 71 is fixed, when the rack 83 pushes the fold of the folding bottom claw 73 to fold upward to form an inverted V-shaped structure or unfold to form a plane structure, the left claw 72 and the right claw 71 are opened; when the rack 83 drives the fold of the folding bottom claw 73 to fold downward to form a positive V-shaped structure, the left claw 72 and the right claw 71 are closed.
[0033] In specific use, the picking mechanism based on the variable stiffness bionics principle of the flexible origami type strawberry stemless picking mechanism can control the folding or stretching of the origami type pipe 2 through the pipe bending control mechanism 9 to make the picking claw 7 reach the position of the strawberry and align with the strawberry, then the opening and closing control assembly 8 controls the picking claw 7 to unfold, the fold of the folding bottom claw 73 is folded, the two sliding blocks 63 move inward, the left claw 72 and the right claw 71 of the picking claw 7 are opened under the sliding action of the sliding block 63, when the picking claw 7 contacts the strawberry, the opening and closing control assembly 8 controls the picking claw 7 to close, the fold of the folding bottom claw 73 is unfolded, the two sliding blocks 63 move outward, and the left claw 72 and the right claw 71 are closed under the sliding action of the sliding block 63, so as to realize the grabbing of the strawberry.
[0034] Example two: on the basis of example one, the pipe bending control mechanism 9 is further described. As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the pipe bending control mechanism 9 includes two groups of bending control components 1 9a and bending control component 2 9b with the same structure. The two groups of bending control components are composed of a motor 91, a rotating shaft 92 and a pull rope 93. The motor 91 is fixed in the mounting platform 1, and the rotating shaft 92 is rotatably mounted in the mounting platform 1 and connected to the output end of the motor 91. The motor 91 is used to drive the rotating shaft 92 to rotate. A pull rope 93 is wound around the rotating shaft 92. Both ends of the pull rope 93 extend into the origami pipe 2. The bending control component 1 9a and the bending control component 2 9b are cross-shaped and staggered front and back and arranged in the mounting platform 1, so that the four rope ends of the two pull ropes 93 are symmetrically arranged in pairs in the origami pipe 2. By setting two groups of bending control components, multi-angle bending of the origami pipe 2 can be achieved. On the flange 3 at the connection point of the Miura folding pipe, four guide rings 94 are circumferentially fixed around the inner ring of the flange 3. After the four rope ends of the two pull ropes 93 pass through the corresponding guide rings 94, their ends are fixed to the pipe end plate 24 at the farthest end. The pull ropes 93 are guided by the guide rings 94 within the origami-shaped pipe 2, ensuring that the pull ropes 93 are close to the pipe wall to achieve a pulling effect. The guide rings 94 here can also be replaced with fixed pulleys, which can also achieve a guiding effect. The provision of guide rings 94 or fixed pulleys can ensure smooth guidance of the pull ropes 93 within the origami-shaped pipe 2, preventing the pull ropes 93 from becoming entangled or stuck within the pipe; at the same time, the guide rings 94 or fixed pulleys can ensure that the pull ropes 93 are close to the pipe wall, thereby achieving a better pulling effect and improving the bending performance and stability of the origami-shaped pipe 2.
[0035] During specific use, when it is necessary to control the bending of the origami pipe 2, the motor 91 is started to drive the rotating shaft 92 to rotate, and one end of the pull rope 93 on the rotating shaft 92 is tightened and the other end is relaxed. Since the two ends of the pull rope 93 are respectively fixed on the pipe end plate 24 at the farthest end, the tightening or loosening of the pull rope 93 will drive the origami pipe 2 to bend. Through the coordinated action of the two sets of bending control components, combined with the elastic and rigid deformation effects of the origami pipe 2 itself, the origami pipe 2 can be bent in different directions, so that the picking claw 7 can reach strawberries at different positions, accurately control the bending angle and direction of the origami pipe 2, and improve the flexibility and adaptability of the picking mechanism.
[0036] Example 3: Based on Example 1, this example further provides a rotation drive assembly 5 on the fixed platform 4 to drive the picking support 6 and the picking claw 7 to rotate. Figure 7 As shown, the rotation drive assembly 5 includes a servo 51 installed on the fixed platform 4, and a main gear 52 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the servo 51. A main shaft 62 is provided at the bottom of the turntable 61 of the picking support 6. The picking bracket is rotatably mounted on the fixed platform 4 through the main shaft 62. A slave gear 53 is fixedly mounted on the main shaft 62, and the slave gear 53 is engaged with the main gear 52.
[0037] During specific use, when the orientation of the picking claw 7 needs to be adjusted, the servo 51 is started to drive the main gear 52 to rotate. The main gear 52 drives the picking support 6 to rotate around the main shaft 62 through engagement with the slave gear 53, thereby realizing the orientation adjustment of the picking claw 7. The rotation angle of the picking claw 7 can be accurately controlled, thereby improving the flexibility and operability of the picking mechanism.
[0038] Example 4: This example further optimizes the picking claw 7. Figure 9 As shown, the inner walls of the left and right claws 72 and 71 are constructed of flexible material to form a flexible inner picking surface 75. This creates an inner curved space that conforms to the shape of the strawberry, simulating human hand operation. During picking, the flexible inner picking surface 75 cushions the contact between the picking claws 7 and the strawberry fruit, reducing collision and crushing damage caused by the movement of the picking claws 7 and protecting the integrity of the strawberry fruit. Furthermore, the flexible inner picking surface 75 increases friction between the picking claws 7 and the strawberry fruit, preventing the fruit from falling through the picking claws 7. Once the picking claws 7 contact the strawberry fruit, the flexible inner picking surface 75 tightly adheres to the surface of the fruit, enabling stable grasping.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
