Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wolfberry harvesting, and in particular relates to a wolfberry human-machine interactive harvester. Background Art

[0002] Goji berries are small, indeterminate berries with indeterminate inflorescences. They are known for boosting immunity, preventing cancer, lowering blood lipids, and treating hypertension. However, goji berries are mostly harvested by hand, which is inefficient. During goji berry season, manual harvesting costs account for over 40% of total production, a major headache for growers.

[0003] There are some wolfberry picking machines on the market. For example, the existing technology of a multi-arm cooperative wolfberry harvester is disclosed as CN114051831A. When in use, a vibrating brush head is inserted into the root of the branch, and the motor drives the vibrating brush head to vibrate the branch, causing the ripe wolfberries to fall and the green ones to remain. After picking is completed, the fruits fall into a collection box for harvesting.

[0004] However, the collection box and the vibrating brush head are located in the same direction, and the vibrating brush head is fixed on one side of the frame. Therefore, every time a branch is changed, the walking wheel needs to change its position and direction to adapt, which has a certain impact on the harvesting efficiency. Summary of the Invention
