Furthermore, there is a lack of suitable machinery for this process. Existing vibratory berry harvesting methods suffer from severe berry breakage and juice leakage, impacting the quality of subsequent winemaking. Furthermore, vibratory berry harvesters are expensive and bulky. A new wine grape harvesting method and equipment are urgently needed to reduce reliance on manual labor and minimize grape damage during the harvest process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides a gantry crawler-type intelligent pneumatic harvesting device for whole bunches of wine grapes, comprising: a gantry crawler-type mobile chassis, a fan device, a pneumatic pipeline device, a collection box device, a mechanical arm device, and a mechanical arm control cabinet;

[0009] The diesel engine provides power to the generator and the hydraulic pump through the V-belt; the battery stores the electricity generated by the generator to supply power to the entire machine; the hydraulic pump, the proportional valve, the relief valve, the hydraulic air-cooled radiator, and the hydraulic oil tank constitute a hydraulic system to provide hydraulic power for the entire machine; the crawler hydraulic motor drives the crawler chassis to move; the ceiling device moves horizontally and vertically on the gantry through the hydraulic cylinder A and the hydraulic cylinder B.

[0010] Specifically, the fan device includes: a centrifugal fan, a fan hydraulic motor, and a fan frame;

[0011] The centrifugal fan is welded to the fan frame; the fan frame is connected to the crawler chassis by bolts; the fan hydraulic motor is connected to the centrifugal fan by bolts;

[0012] The fan device generates air force to absorb the grape bunches.

[0013] Specifically, the pneumatic pipeline device includes: an air intake pipeline, a delivery pipeline, and a telescopic PVC pipe;

[0014] The air intake duct is connected to the centrifugal fan by bolts; the delivery duct is connected to the air intake duct by bolts; one end of the telescopic PVC tube is connected to the delivery duct, and the other end is connected to the robotic arm device;

[0015] The pneumatic pipeline device allows air to enter from the atmosphere, pass through the telescopic PVC pipe, the air intake pipe, the delivery pipe, and enter the fan device to transmit air force; the telescopic PVC pipe expands and contracts with the movement of the robotic arm device; and the grape bunches harvested by the robotic arm device, under the action of air force, pass through the telescopic PVC pipe, the delivery pipe, and enter the collection box device to be collected.

[0016] Specifically, the collection box device includes: a collection box body, a box cover, a fruit frame, and a photoelectric distance sensor;

[0017] The box cover is mounted on the collection box through hinges; the fruit frame is placed in the collection box; the fruit frame is placed in the collection box; the photoelectric distance sensor is mounted on the collection box;

[0018] During operation of the entire machine, the harvested grape bunches are transported to the collection box device through the pneumatic pipe device under the action of pneumatic force, and fall into the fruit frame to be collected; the photoelectric distance sensor calculates the stacking height of the grape bunches in the fruit frame based on the measured distance signal. When the stacking height exceeds a certain threshold, it means that the fruit frame is full.

[0019] Specifically, the robotic arm device includes: a robotic arm mounting frame, a synchronous belt slide, a servo electric cylinder, a connecting plate, a leveling device, a cutting knife device, a cutting knife, a cutting knife slide, a depth camera, a camera pan / tilt, an adsorption port, and an inclination sensor;

[0020] The robotic arm mounting frame is connected to the collection box device by bolts; the synchronous belt slide is mounted on the robotic arm mounting frame by bolts; the servo electric cylinder is connected to the synchronous belt slide by the connecting plate; the leveling device is mounted on the front end of the servo electric cylinder by bolts; the cutting knife device is mounted on the leveling device by bolts; the cutting knife device includes two parts, the cutting knife and the cutting knife slide, and the cutting knife is mounted on the cutting knife slide by bolts; the depth camera is mounted on the leveling device via the camera pan head; the suction port is mounted on the leveling device by bolts;

[0021] The robotic arm device obtains the position of the grape bunch through the depth camera; the camera gimbal ensures the stability of the image obtained by the depth camera; as the whole machine moves forward, the synchronous belt slide and the servo electric cylinder are lifted and retracted according to the position of the grape bunch, so that the suction port is close to the grape bunch; the suction port uses pneumatic force to absorb the grape bunch to achieve the grasping of the grape bunch; the cutting knife slide drives the cutting knife to approach and cut the stalk of the grape bunch; during the operation of the whole machine, according to the inclination signal obtained by the inclination sensor, the leveling device continuously adjusts its own inclination angle to keep the cutting knife device, the cutting knife, the cutting knife slide and the suction port upright.

[0022] The present invention also provides a control method for a wine grape gantry-encircled pneumatic whole-bunch harvesting device, including the following functions:

[0023] The grape bunch closest to the suction port is the target grape bunch to be harvested by the robotic arm device;

[0024] A depth threshold and a height threshold are set between the target fruit bunch and the depth camera; when the robotic arm device moves with the gantry crawler mobile chassis to the front of the target fruit bunch, if the relative depth and height of the target fruit bunch and the depth camera are within the depth threshold and the height threshold, the suction port can accurately suck the target fruit bunch to achieve the action of grasping the target fruit bunch;

[0025] According to the depth threshold, the movement of the robotic arm device in the depth direction is controlled. When the relative depth between the target fruit bunch and the depth camera is greater than the upper depth threshold, it means that the target fruit bunch is too far away from the suction port and cannot be effectively sucked. At this time, the servo cylinder extends, otherwise it retracts;

[0026] When the depth camera fails to identify a grape bunch, the servo cylinder retracts, providing the depth camera with a wider field of view to search for the next target bunch of grapes, while preventing the robotic arm from colliding with obstacles such as inter-row columns.

[0027] According to the height threshold, the movement of the robotic arm device in the height direction is controlled, and the synchronous belt slide needs to be continuously moved so that the relative height between the depth camera and the target fruit bunch is within the height threshold; when the height of the target fruit bunch is greater than the upper limit of the height threshold, which means that the top of the target fruit bunch is higher than the top of the suction port, the synchronous belt slide is raised and then retracted in the opposite direction;

[0028] As the gantry crawler mobile chassis moves forward, the relative depth and height between the target fruit bunch and the depth camera continuously change, and the synchronous belt slide and the servo electric cylinder continuously rise and fall, and extend and retract, so that the adsorption port gradually approaches the target fruit bunch;

[0029] When the target fruit bunch enters the suction port, the target fruit bunch is deflected from its original growth state toward the suction port under the action of the air force provided by the fan device; the fruit stem is exposed; the cutter slide drives the cutter forward to cut the fruit stem;

[0030] The cut grape bunches pass through the pneumatic pipe device and are transported to the collection box device, where they fall into the fruit frame and are collected. The photoelectric distance sensor measures the distance signal and calculates the stacking height of the grape bunches in the fruit frame. When the stacking height exceeds a certain threshold, it means that the fruit frame is full. At this time, the control system will issue an early warning to prompt the staff to replace the fruit frame.

[0031] During operation, the inclination sensor obtains the inclination information of the leveling device in real time; the leveling device adjusts its own inclination in real time based on the inclination information; and keeps the cutting knife device, the cutting knife, the cutting knife slide, and the suction port vertical.

[0032] The present invention also provides a multifunctional grape planting and processing device. After removing the fan device, the pneumatic pipeline device, the collection box device, the robotic arm device and the robotic arm control cabinet from the above-mentioned wine grape gantry encircling pneumatic whole-bunch harvesting device, a grape branch summer pruning device, a grape branch winter pruning device, an encircling spraying device, an inter-plant weeding device and other devices are added to the gantry crawler mobile chassis, which can realize summer pruning, winter pruning, spraying, weeding and other operating functions.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0034] 1. The solution of the present invention can harvest wine grape bunches by combining air power and cutting knife, achieving low damage and whole-bunch harvest of wine grape bunches;

[0035] 2. The present invention can drive the robotic arm device to move in real time while the gantry crawler mobile chassis is moving based on the relative position of the depth camera and the grape bunches, completing the harvesting operation while the entire machine is moving.

[0036] 3. The present invention can use a gantry crawler mobile chassis to travel in the vineyard, mount the operating module, and provide power for the operating module;

[0037] 4. The solution of the present invention can achieve summer pruning, winter pruning, spraying, weeding and other operations by mounting a grape branch summer pruning device, a grape branch winter pruning device, an embracing spraying device, and an inter-plant bilateral weeding device on a gantry crawler mobile chassis.

[0067] like Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, the collection box device 4 includes: a collection box body 31, a box cover 32, a fruit frame 33, and a photoelectric distance sensor 34;

[0068] The box cover 32 is mounted on the collection box 31 via hinges; the fruit frame is placed in the collection box 31; the fruit frame 33 is placed in the collection box 31; the photoelectric distance sensor 34 is mounted on the collection box 31;

[0069] During operation, the harvested grape bunches are pneumatically conveyed through the pneumatic pipe device 3 to the collection box device 4, where they fall into the fruit basket 33 for collection. The photoelectric distance sensor 34 measures the distance signal and estimates the stacking height of the grape bunches in the fruit basket 33. When the stacking height exceeds a certain threshold, the fruit basket 33 is full. At this point, the operator is prompted to open the box cover 32 and replace the fruit basket.

[0070] like Figure 9 、 Figure 10 As shown, the robotic arm device 5 includes: a robotic arm mounting frame 35, a synchronous belt slide 36, a servo electric cylinder 37, a connecting plate 38, a leveling device 39, a cutting knife device 40, a cutting knife 41, a cutting knife slide 42, a depth camera 43, a camera pan head 44, an adsorption port 45, and an inclination sensor 46;
