Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of nut picking, in particular to a nut picking device. Background Art
[0002] Nuts are generally divided into two categories, one is tree nuts, including almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, walnuts, pine nuts, chestnuts, pistachios, macadamia nuts, etc., and the other is seeds, including peanuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc.
[0003] The traditional way of picking tree nuts is still to use manual picking. For large-scale nut plantings, a large number of manual groups are needed to pick them, which not only requires a certain economic cost, but also because the process of picking tree nuts consumes a certain amount of physical strength, the efficiency of manual picking is also low.

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0020] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", "front end", "rear end", "two ends", "one end", "the other end" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0021] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "provided with", "connected", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the nut picking device of this embodiment includes a drone body 1. The drone body 1 is an existing drone on the market. A bracket 9 is installed at the lower end of the drone body 1. A camera 11 is rotatably connected inside the bracket 9. The camera 11 is installed inside the bracket 9 through a rotating shaft and can rotate at a certain angle inside the bracket 9. An extension rod 6 is installed below the camera 11 at a position inside the bracket 9. The extension rod 6 extends to the outside of the drone body 1. A telescopic rod is installed inside the extension rod 6. A cutter 12 extending to the outside of the extension rod 6 is installed at the front end of the telescopic rod. The telescopic rod is an electric telescopic rod that can drive the cutter 12 to perform telescopic movement. When not in use, the cutter 12 will be retracted into the inside of the telescopic rod. A ring 7 connected to the extension rod 6 is installed on the outside of the cutter 12. A control panel 10 is installed at the rear end of the bracket 9. The control panel 10 is electrically connected to the telescopic rod and the camera 11. The control panel 10 is connected to an external control platform via radio. The user can remotely control the control panel 10 via the control platform. The control panel 10 can operate the telescopic rod, the camera 11 and the drone body 1. When a nut is found, the ring 7 is placed above the nut, and the telescopic rod is controlled to drive the cutter 12 to move outward, and the nut is cut off from the connecting branch of the nut tree by the cutter 12.
[0023] Specifically, four main wings 2 are installed in an array on the upper end of the drone body 1, and an annular protective frame 3 is installed on the outside of the main wing 2. Installing the protective frame 3 on the outside of the main wing 2 can reduce the collision of nut tree branches with the main wing 2 and protect the main wing 2.
[0024] Furthermore, two connecting rods 13 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the lower end of the drone body 1, and support plates 4 are installed at the lower ends of the two connecting rods 13. By setting two support plates 4, auxiliary wings 5 are installed at the upper ends of the support plates 4, so that the drone body 1 can take off and land on irregular ground, largely ignoring the terrain rules, and is more suitable for uneven ground with nut circles.
[0025] Furthermore, two auxiliary wings 5 are symmetrically mounted on the upper end of the support plate 4, and the auxiliary wings 5 are electrically connected to the control panel 10. The auxiliary wings 5 can enhance the take-off capability of the drone body 1. When the drone body 1 does not carry nuts, the drone body 1 can fly through the main wings 2. When the number of nuts is large, the auxiliary wings 5 can enhance the flight stability of the drone body 1.
[0026] Furthermore, the lower end of the ring 7 is movably connected to a mesh bag 8 , and the mesh bag 8 and the ring 7 are in a detachable connection relationship, and the nuts cut by the cutter 12 will fall into the inner part of the mesh bag 8 for storage.
[0027] Furthermore, a driving device is installed at the lower end of the auxiliary wing 5 and the main wing 2, and the driving device is electrically connected to the control panel 10. The driving device is a servo motor commonly available on the market. The user can open and close the main wing 2 and the auxiliary wing 5 through the control panel 10 according to needs.
[0028] The method of using this embodiment is: control the control panel 10 through an external control platform, fly by operating the drone body 1, and according to the picture transmitted by the camera 11, when nuts are found, the ring 7 is placed above the nuts, and the telescopic rod is controlled to drive the cutter 12 to move outward, and the connecting branches of the nut and the nut tree are cut off by the cutter 12. At this time, the nuts will fall down to the internal storage of the net bag 8. When a certain number of nuts are stored in the net bag 8, the drone body 1 can be controlled to return.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
