[0029] At present, the existing harvesting robots basically perform harvesting operations on spacious and hardened ground. Therefore, the existing agricultural harvesting robots cannot be well used in facility agriculture with narrow ground space and rugged roads, and cannot adapt to the actual working conditions of facility agriculture.

[0030] Therefore, the robot includes a moving component 1 and a supporting component 2. The moving component 1 is used for the movement of the robot.

A vertical sliding component is arranged on the bracket component 22, and the vertical sliding component can slide relative to the bracket component 22. A transverse sliding component 5 is arranged on the vertical sliding component, and the transverse sliding component 5 can slide relative to the vertical sliding component. The sliding direction of the transverse sliding component 5 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the vertical sliding component. A grabbing component 6 is arranged on the transverse sliding component 5, and the grabbing component 6 can rotate relative to the transverse sliding component 5. The grabbing component 6 can grab the picking frame 7 and place it on the supporting component 2, or can grab the picked objects and place them in the picking frame 7 located on the supporting component 2.

[0031] By setting up the moving component 1, the robot can move straight and turn; by setting up the bracket component 22, the robot's vertical sliding component, transverse sliding component 5 and grabbing component 6 can rotate relative to the moving component 1; by setting up the vertical sliding component, the robot's transverse sliding component 5 and grabbing component 6 can slide relative to the bracket component 22; by setting up the transverse sliding component 5, the robot's grabbing component 6 can slide laterally relative to the vertical sliding component; by setting up the grabbing component 6 to be rotatable, the robot can adapt to different working conditions and can grab under different working conditions; by setting up the grabbing component 6, the robot can place the grabbing and picking frame 7 on the supporting component 2 or the grabbable picking object can be placed in the picking frame 7 located on the supporting component 2.

[0032] A first rotating motor is provided on the moving component 1, and the output end of the first rotating motor is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear. The bottom end of the bracket component 22 is fixedly connected to a second bevel gear through a gear shaft. The first bevel gear is meshed with the second bevel gear. The first rotating motor can drive the bracket component 22 to rotate relative to the moving component 1 through the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear.

[0033] When the first rotating motor is started, the first bevel gear thereon rotates. Since the first bevel gear is meshed with the second bevel gear, the second bevel gear drives the bracket assembly 22 to rotate, so that the bracket assembly 22 can rotate relative to the movable assembly 1, and the rotation direction of the bracket assembly 22 is controlled by the rotation direction of the first rotating motor.

The third sliding frame 53 is connected to the grabbing assembly 6.

[0040] By starting the third motor 52, the third gear 54 thereon rotates. Since the third gear 54 is meshed with the third rack 51, and the third rack 51 is fixedly connected to the second sliding frame 43, the third gear 54 slides relative to the third rack 51 while rotating, so that the third sliding frame 53 can slide laterally relative to the third rack 51, and the sliding direction of the third sliding frame 53 is controlled by the rotation direction of the third motor 52.
