Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fruit picking equipment, in particular to a fruit double-arm harvesting integrated operation robot. Background Technique

[0002] An organ formed by the pistil of an angiosperm through pollination and fertilization, with the participation of the ovary or other parts of the flower (such as the receptacle, sepals, etc.). A fruit generally includes two parts, the pericarp and the seeds. Among them, the pericarp can be further divided into the exocarp, mesocarp, and endocarp. The seeds play a role in spreading and reproduction.

[0003] The structure of a true fruit is relatively simple. Its outer part is the pericarp, which contains seeds. The pericarp is developed from the ovary wall and can generally be divided into three layers: the exocarp, mesocarp, and endocarp. There are often stomata, cutin wax coatings, and epidermal hairs on the exocarp. The thicknesses of the three layers of pericarp vary depending on the type of fruit. For nuts whose edible part is the seed kernel, such as walnuts, pinecones, hazelnuts, almonds, pistachios, chestnuts, and walnuts, the exocarp needs to be peeled off after harvesting. The endocarp is hard and can effectively prevent bumps caused by harvesting external forces.

[0004] The existing technology has the following defects or problems: The fruit picking operation link is complex, time-consuming, and has a large labor intensity. Most of the existing automatic picking machines are single-arm picking, with a long picking time and low picking efficiency, and cannot meet the picking requirements in the natural environment; Therefore, in order to reduce the operation time, improve the work efficiency, and achieve picking-collection integration, we propose a fruit double-arm harvesting integrated operation robot.

Through the robotic arm control cabinet, the robotic arm is controlled to pick instead of manual labor above the operation platform. The picked fruit is directly placed into the inclined chute, and through the fruit guiding groove opened on its inclined surface, the fruit enters the telescopic pipe of the telescopic fruit conveying device and falls into the collecting box conveying device end, and moves into the collecting box through the end face chute of the collecting box slideway bracket. The collecting box is separately controlled by the collecting box conveying device to move. When the collecting box is full, the collecting box conveying device moves it to the outside, automatically opens the bottom of the collecting box to convey the fruit into the transfer box or transfer bag. This makes the overall operation process simpler and more convenient, replaces manual operation, reduces labor intensity, ensures fruit quality, and improves operation efficiency.
