Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of picking devices, in particular to an apple picking machine capable of preventing collision. Background Art
[0002] In apple picking operations, the performance of the picking claw has a direct impact on the integrity and quality of the fruit. However, the picking claws used in existing apple pickers often face the problem of uneven picking force during the picking process. This uneven force poses a significant challenge to the safe picking of apples.
[0003] When the gripping force of the picking claw is too small, it cannot effectively fix the apple, especially under the effect of the fruit's gravity. This causes the apple to slip in the picking robot or even fall directly. During the sliding and falling process, it is easy to leave scratches or bruises on the skin, which affects the appearance quality of the apple and reduces its market value.
[0004] When the gripping force of the picking claws is too strong, the excessive gripping force will exceed the damage threshold of the apple, causing the fruit skin to break, and may even penetrate into the flesh, causing mechanical damage. This damage not only destroys the appearance of the apple, but may also cause irreversible effects on its internal quality, such as water loss and poor taste.
[0005] According to research data, these minor damages caused by uneven force of the picking claws will gradually worsen during subsequent storage and transportation, eventually leading to a fruit abandonment rate as high as 51%, causing heavy economic losses to fruit farmers. Utility Model Content

[0024] An apple picking machine that prevents bumping according to an embodiment of the utility model will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, an apple picker for preventing bumps according to an embodiment of the utility model comprises a connecting disk 1, a picking device 2 and an installation device 3, wherein the picking device 2 comprises three clamping assemblies 21, three driving assemblies 22 and three groups of rubber pads 23, wherein the three clamping assemblies 21 are respectively movably arranged on one side of the connecting disk 1, a sensor 4 is arranged on one side of the three clamping assemblies 21, one end of the three driving assemblies 22 is movably arranged on one side of the connecting disk 1, and the other ends are respectively movably connected to the three driving assemblies 22, the three groups of rubber pads 23 are respectively arranged on the inner sides of the three clamping assemblies 21, and the installation device 3 comprises an installation assembly 31, wherein the installation assembly 31 is arranged on the other side of the connecting disk 1.
[0026] Among them, it can be understood that the device is installed and fixed to the apple picker through the installation component 31, and the three clamping components 21 are driven by the three driving components 22 to pick and clamp, and the movement of the three driving components 22 is controlled by the three sensors 4. The contact force and position of the three clamping components 21 with the apples are respectively sensed, and the power output of the driving component 22 is adjusted in real time to ensure that the clamping component 21 applies just the right force when picking apples, thereby avoiding any form of damage to the fruit.
[0027] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the three driving components 22 all include a second movable block 221, an electric push rod 222, a bearing seat 223, a connecting block 224 and a third connecting rod 225, wherein the second movable block 221 is arranged on one side of the mounting seat 211, one end of the electric push rod 222 is movably connected to the second movable block 221, the bearing seat 223 is fixedly connected to one end of the second connecting rod 214, and one end of the electric push rod 222 is movably connected to one end of the bearing seat 223, one end of the connecting block 224 is movably connected to the first connecting rod 213, one end of the third connecting rod 225 is movably connected to the other end of the connecting block 224, and the other end is movably connected to the other end of the bearing seat 223.
[0028] It can be understood that when the electric push rod 222 is pushed forward, it will drive the bearing seat 223 and the third connecting rod 225 to move, and at the same time drive the connecting block 224 to rotate.
[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the three clamping assemblies 21 each include a mounting seat 211, a first movable block 212, a first connecting rod 213 and a second connecting rod 214, wherein the mounting seat 211 is arranged at the bottom of the connecting plate 1, the first movable block 212 is arranged on the mounting seat 211, the first connecting rod 213 is movably arranged on the first movable block 212, and the second connecting rod 214 is movably connected to the other end of the first connecting rod 213.
[0030] It is understandable that when the bearing seat 223 rotates, it drives the second connecting rod 214 to move inward or outward, and at the same time drives the first connecting rod 213 to move inward or outward synchronously.
[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the mounting assembly 31 includes a mounting connection seat 311 and a mounting threaded rod 312 , wherein the mounting connection seat 311 is connected to the connection plate 1 , and the mounting threaded rod 312 is connected to the mounting connection seat 311 .
[0032] It is understandable that by installing the threaded rod 312 to fix the device to the apple picker, the apple picker can be easily controlled to control the device.
[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, three groups of rubber pads 23 are connected to the inner walls of the first connecting rod 213 and the second connecting rod 214 respectively.
[0034] It can be understood that the three groups of rubber pads 23 can better protect the apple when in contact with the apple, and prevent the surface from bumping against the apple when in contact with the apple.
[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the sensors 4 are respectively arranged on the outer side wall of the second connecting rod 214, the sensors 4 are connected to the electric push rods 222, and the electric push rods 222 are respectively connected to the external controller.
[0036] Among them, it can be understood that the movement of the three driving components 22 is controlled by the sensor 4, the contact force and position of the three clamping components 21 with the apple are respectively sensed, and the power output of the driving component 22 is adjusted in real time to ensure that the clamping component 21 applies just the right force when picking apples, thereby avoiding any form of damage to the fruit. The electric push rod 222 can be controlled by an external controller to facilitate the picking work.
[0037] Specifically, in the actual implementation process, the threaded rod 312 is installed to fix it to the apple picker, which facilitates the control of the device by the apple picker. When the electric push rod 222 is pushed forward, it will drive the bearing seat 223 and the third connecting rod 225 to move, and at the same time drive the connecting block 224 to rotate. When the bearing seat 223 rotates, it will drive the second connecting rod 214 to move inward or outward, and at the same time drive the first connecting rod 213 to move inward or outward synchronously.
[0038] The movement of the electric push rod 222 can be controlled by the sensor 4 to sense the contact force and position with the apple. When the sensor 4 senses that the inner wall of the second connecting rod 214 is in contact with the apple, the electric push rod 222 is stopped, ensuring that just the right force is applied when picking apples, thereby avoiding any form of damage to the fruit.
[0039] In summary, the apple picking machine that prevents bumps in the embodiment of the utility model is connected to the driving device by using sensors. The picking machine can accurately sense the contact force and position with the apples, and adjust the power output of the driving component in real time to ensure that the clamping component applies just the right force when picking apples, thereby avoiding any form of damage to the fruit. This not only improves the picking efficiency, but also ensures the quality and integrity of the apples, bringing higher economic benefits to fruit farmers.
