DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to further understand the features, technical means and specific purposes and functions achieved by the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] With reference to Figures 1-4 The fruit tree pruning robot based on a fruit tree growth model comprises a base 1 and a mechanical arm 11 arranged on the base 1; the end of the mechanical arm 11 away from the base 1 is provided with a base plate 2, two openable and closable cutters 21 are hinged on the base plate 2, two rotating shafts 22 are rotatably arranged on the base plate 2, one mounting disc 221 is sleeved on each rotating shaft 22, a first fixing shaft 2211 is eccentrically arranged on the mounting disc 221, a second fixing shaft 211 is arranged on the cutter 21, one connecting rod 222 is hinged on the first fixing shaft 2211 of each mounting disc 221, and the two connecting rods 222 are respectively hinged with the second fixing shafts 211 on the two cutters 21; the base plate 2 is provided with a driving device 3 for driving the two rotating shafts 22 to rotate, and when the rotating shaft 22 drives the mounting disc 221 to rotate, the mounting disc 221 drives the cutter 21 to open and close through the connecting rod 222.

[0033] The present application realizes the fruit tree pruning function of resetting and separating from the cutting opening immediately after cutting branches, achieves the purpose of avoiding the cutting opening of the branches from being damaged by pressure and ensuring the healing effect of the branches, and solves the problem of obvious delay of the cutter 21 of the existing pruning equipment in resetting, which causes the tissue of the branches to be damaged by pressure and difficult to heal. During work, the driving device 3 drives the two rotating shafts 22 to rotate synchronously after being started, each rotating shaft 22 drives the corresponding mounting disc 221 to rotate, the first fixing shaft 2211 eccentrically arranged on the mounting disc 221 performs circular motion when the mounting disc 221 rotates, the second fixing shaft 211 on the cutter 21 is pushed and pulled through the hinged connecting rod 222, the two cutters 21 are synchronously closed around the hinge point with the base plate 2 to complete the cutting of the branches, the driving device 3 continues to drive the rotating shaft 22 to rotate after the cutting is completed, the mounting disc 221 reversely pulls the second fixing shaft 211 through the connecting rod 222, and the two cutters 21 are quickly and synchronously opened and reset. Since the driving device 3 directly and synchronously drives the rotating shaft 22, a short link transmission is formed through the mounting disc 221 and the connecting rod 222, the driving device 3 does not need an additional deceleration and buffering step during cutting and resetting, the cutter 21 can immediately separate from the cutting opening after the cutting action is completed, the cutting opening of the branches is not continuously pressed to avoid damage, the pruning demand based on the fruit tree growth model is better adapted, and the pruning quality and the healing effect of the branches are improved.

[0034] With reference to Figure 4 And Figure 6 The cutter 21 comprises a mounting rod 212 and a blade 213, one end of the mounting rod 212 is hinged with the base plate 2, the mounting rod 212 is provided with an adjusting bolt 2121, and the adjusting bolt 2121 is threadedly connected with the blade 213.

[0035] The flexible adjustment function of the gap between the two cutters 21 is realized by the mounting rod 212, the blade 213 and the adjusting bolt 2121, the effect of adapting to different thick and thin branches, ensuring that the cut is smooth and smooth, further improving the cut quality is achieved, avoiding the problem of incomplete cutting of branches, additional compression of the cut when the gap is too small. When the gap is too large, the branches are not cut completely and are easily pulled and torn, resulting in uneven cuts and enlarged wound area, and when the gap is too small, the cut is additionally compressed, and the superimposed reset delay problem aggravates the damage to the branches, which ultimately affects the healing of the cut. When working, the adjusting bolt 2121 can be rotated according to the thickness of the branches to be pruned, since the adjusting bolt 2121 is threadedly connected with the blade 213, the blade 213 is driven to approach or move away from the blade 213 of the other cutter 21 during the rotation process, thereby adjusting the gap between the two blades 213. For thicker branches, the gap can be appropriately increased to avoid excessive compression, and for thinner branches, the gap can be reduced to avoid excessive gap, so that the gap is adapted to the thickness of the branches.

[0036] With reference to Figure 1 And Figure 2 The base plate 2 is provided with a protective shell 23 for protecting the rotating shaft 22, the mounting disc 221 and the driving device 3.

[0037] The protective function of the rotating shaft 22, the mounting disc 221 and the driving device 3 is realized, the effect of avoiding the interference of impurities and ensuring the stability of transmission is achieved, the problem of impurities such as dust, branches and leaves in the orchard environment adhering to or entering the transmission components is avoided, which causes the problem of wear and tear and transmission failure. The protective shell 23 can block the contact of impurities such as dust, cut branches and leaves and other impurities in the orchard with the internal transmission components, avoid the interference of impurities to the components, and improve the service life of the equipment.

[0038] With reference to Figures 3-5 The base plate 2 is provided with an elastic damping mechanism 4, the elastic damping mechanism 4 includes a movable block 41, a fixed block 42, a first elastic member 43 and a first transmission assembly 44; the movable block 41 is movably arranged on the base plate 2, and the movable block 41 is drivingly connected with the rotating shaft 22 through the first transmission assembly 44; the fixed block 42 is fixedly connected with the base plate 2, and the two ends of the first elastic member 43 are connected with the movable block 41 and the fixed block 42 respectively; when the rotating shaft 22 rotates, the movable block 41 is driven to move towards the fixed block 42 through the first transmission assembly 44.

[0039] The impact force buffering function when the cutter 21 is closed is realized. The driving device 3 is internally provided with a damping sensor and does not have a self-locking capability. During work, the rotating shaft 22 rotates to drive the cutter 21 to close, at the same time, the movable block 41 is driven by the first transmission assembly 44 to move towards the fixed block 42, the first elastic member 43 is compressed and generates a reverse elastic force, the rotating impact force of the rotating shaft 22 is buffered, the cutter 21 is stably closed to shear branches, and damage of a shear opening caused by excessive impact force is avoided. During pruning, the damping sensor of the driving device 3 detects the shear resistance of the cutter 21 in real time, when the resistance exceeds a set threshold value, the driving device 3 immediately stops driving, the cutter 21 is prevented from being damaged due to excessive force, and the driving device 3 does not have a self-locking capability, so that continuous stress pressing the cutter 21 or the branches after stopping driving is avoided; after shearing is completed, the elastic force of the first elastic member 43 can assist the driving device 3 to drive the cutter 21 to quickly reset, and the disengagement effect after shearing is not affected.

[0040] With reference to Figures 3-5 The first transmission assembly 44 comprises a first rotating gear 441 and a rack 442; the first rotating gear 441 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 22; the rack 442 is slidingly installed on the base plate 2, the movable block 41 is connected with the rack 442, and the first rotating gear 441 is meshingly connected with the rack 442.

[0041] The stable transmission function of the elastic damping mechanism 4 and the rotating shaft 22 is realized, and the effects of stable buffering and overload protection are achieved. During work, the rotating shaft 22 rotates to drive the first rotating gear 441 on it to synchronously rotate, the gear and the rack 442 are meshingly transmitted, the rack 442 is driven to slide along the base plate 2, the rack 442 drives the connected movable block 41 to move towards the fixed block 42, the first elastic member 43 is compressed to generate a reverse elastic force, the rotating impact force of the rotating shaft 22 is buffered, the cutter 21 is stably closed to shear branches; during pruning, the damping sensor of the driving device 3 detects the shear resistance of the cutter 21 in real time, the driving device 3 is immediately stopped when the resistance exceeds a threshold value, the cutter 21 is prevented from being damaged, and the driving device 3 does not have a self-locking capability, so that continuous stress pressing is prevented; after shearing is completed, the elastic force generated by the compression of the first elastic member 43 drives the movable block 41, the rack 442, the first rotating gear 441 and the rotating shaft 22 to reset, and drives the cutter 21 to quickly disengage from the shear opening.

[0042] With reference to Figure 2 And Figure 7 The end plate 231 is installed on one side of the movable block 41 close to the fixed block 42, and the contact sensor 232 is installed on the other side of the end plate 231 away from the movable block 41.

[0043] The present application realizes the accurate detection function of the cutter 21 closing to the position, achieves the effect of ensuring the complete shearing action and avoiding excessive driving, solves the technical problems that the traditional equipment cannot accurately judge the cutter 21 closing state, and may damage the components or shear incompletely due to excessive driving. When working, the rotating shaft 22 drives the first rotating gear 441 to drive the rack 442 to slide, the movable block 41 compresses the first elastic member 43, and the cutter 21 is synchronously closed. When the cutter 21 is closed to the position, the first elastic member 43 is compressed to the set state, the rack 442 drives the abutting block 4421 to just contact the contact sensor 232, and the contact sensor 232 feeds back the signal to judge the closing state of the cutter 21. In order to protect the cutter 21, the damping sensor is built in the driving device 3, and the cutter 21 is automatically recovered when the cutter 21 is blocked. Therefore, in order to judge whether the cutter 21 completes the shearing action, the abutting block 4421 and the contact sensor 232 are arranged, and the stability of the shearing work is ensured.

[0044] With reference to Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 : The mounting disc 221 is provided with a lock slot 2212, and the base plate 2 is provided with a locking assembly 24 used for clamping the lock slot 2212 to limit the rotation of the mounting disc 221.

[0045] The present application realizes the function of improving the opening and closing precision of the cutter 21 through the lock slot 2212 and the locking assembly 24. The rotation angle of the mounting disc 221 is accurately controlled through the cooperation of the lock slot 2212 and the locking assembly 24, and the rotation of the mounting disc 221 is limited by the locking assembly 24 after one rotation. In the working state, the cooperation of the locking assembly 24 and the lock slot 2212 is released first, the mounting disc 221 is driven to rotate by the driving device 3, the lock slot 2212 is rotated to the locking assembly 24 again after one rotation of the mounting disc 221, the locking assembly 24 cooperates with the lock slot 2212 again, the rotation limitation of the mounting disc 221 is completed, and the rotation precision of the mounting disc 221 is improved.

[0046] With reference to Figure 8 and Figure 9 : The locking assembly 24 comprises a support 241 and an arc-shaped telescopic block 242.

When the arc-shaped telescopic block 242 is clamped with the lock slot 2212, the rotation of the mounting disc 221 is limited.

[0047] The application realizes the function of limiting the rotation of the mounting disc 221 through the support 241, the second elastic member 2411 and the arc-shaped telescopic block 242. When trimming, the arc-shaped telescopic block 242 is first driven to shrink through the linear driver built in the support 241, and then the mounting disc 221 is driven to rotate through the driving device 3. The driving of the arc-shaped telescopic block 242 by the linear driver is released in the process of the rotation of the mounting disc 221, at this time, the arc-shaped telescopic block 242 has a tendency to stretch under the elastic force of the second elastic member 2411. When the locking slot 2212 of the mounting disc 221 rotates to the arc-shaped telescopic block 242 again, the arc-shaped telescopic block 242 stretches again to be inserted and matched with the locking slot 2212, thereby limiting the rotation of the mounting disc 221. By adjusting the driving stroke of the driving device 3, the driving of the mounting disc 221 is stopped when the mounting disc 221 rotates to nearly one circle, the subsequent driving of the mounting disc 221 is controlled through the elastic force of the first elastic member 43, and the rotation limitation of the mounting disc 221 is completed through the matching of the arc-shaped telescopic block 242 and the locking slot 2212.
