Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of agricultural robots, and particularly relates to a seedling cutting robot. Background Technique
[0002] Cutting, also known as cuttings, is a common propagation method for cultivating plants. Stems, leaves, roots, buds, etc. of plants (called cuttings in horticulture) can be cut and inserted into loose and moist soil or fine sand. Utilizing their regeneration ability, they can take root and sprout branches to become new plants.
[0003] Traditional cutting and seedling raising usually adopt manual operation, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also cannot guarantee the survival rate. With the development of agricultural automation, cutting robots specifically used for cutting and seedling raising have emerged. Although the existing cutting robots improve the cutting efficiency and reduce the labor intensity of manual work, there are still some drawbacks. For example, the invention patent with the application publication number CN116439043A discloses an automatic flower seedling cutting robot. The gantry robot includes a gantry, an x-axis drive system, a y-axis drive system, a z-axis lifting system, an end effector, and a controller. The gantry is installed on the base. The x-axis drive system is arranged on both sides of the base along the x-axis direction. The y-axis drive system is connected and arranged between the x-axis drive systems along the y-axis direction. The z-axis lifting system is connected to the y-axis drive system in the vertical direction. The end effector is installed at the lower end of the z-axis lifting system. The positioning camera of this technical solution is located on the connecting plate of the z-axis, which belongs to the eye-in-hand solution. This solution has a slow recognition and grasping speed; the x and y-axis drive systems adopt screw drive. This solution cannot achieve a large-span structure and has a slow running speed; the z-axis drive adopts hydraulic drive, with low precision, unable to accurately control the height position of the z-axis, and a slow running speed; the end effector only has a servo motor to control the active joint to rotate 90 degrees and cannot rotate horizontally. This solution can only grasp flower seedlings at a specific angle and has low versatility. Summary of the Invention

The X-axis driving motor 223 drives the X-axis synchronous belt 221 to rotate, and thus the X-axis slider 222 and the Z-axis module 23 move linearly left and right.
[0049] The Z-axis module 23 includes a Z-axis bracket 234 fixedly connected to the X-axis slider 222. A Z-axis driving motor 233 and a vertically arranged Z-axis synchronous belt 231 are mounted on the Z-axis bracket 234. A Z-axis slider 232 is fixedly connected to the Z-axis synchronous belt 231. The Z-axis slider 232 is fixedly connected to the end effector 3. The output end of the Z-axis driving motor 233 is connected to the Z-axis synchronous belt 231. The Z-axis driving motor 233 drives the Z-axis synchronous belt 231 to rotate, and thus drives the Z-axis slider 232 and the end effector 3 to move linearly up and down.
[0050] The Y-axis module 21 drives the end effector 3 to move linearly back and forth, the X-axis module 22 drives the end effector 3 to move linearly left and right, and the Z-axis module 23 drives the end effector 3 to move linearly up and down.

The end effector 3 can move above the vibrating bowl 4 to grab the seedlings to be cuttaged from the vibrating bowl 4, and then move above the seedling tray 6 to insert the seedlings to be cuttaged into the holes.
[0051] As Figure 4 、 5 shown, the end effector 3 includes a first adapter plate 31 for fixedly connecting to the Z-axis slider 232 on the Z-axis module 23 and a second adapter plate 32 located below the first adapter plate 31. A motor bracket 34 is mounted on the first adapter plate 31. A stepping servo motor 33 is fixedly installed on the motor bracket 34. The output shaft of the stepping servo motor 33 passes through the first adapter plate 31 and is connected to the second adapter plate 32. The stepping servo motor 33 drives the second adapter plate 32 to rotate horizontally. The second adapter plate 32 is bent, including a horizontal plane and an inclined plane. The horizontal plane of the second adapter plate 32 is connected to the output shaft of the stepping servo motor 33. A stepping servo motor 39 is fixedly installed on the inclined plane of the second adapter plate 32. The output shaft of the stepping servo motor 39 passes through the second adapter plate 32 and is connected to the finger cylinder gripper 311 through a third adapter plate 310. The stepping servo motor 39 drives the finger cylinder gripper 311 to rotate.
[0052] The finger cylinder gripper 311 is used to grab the seedlings to be cuttaged. The finger cylinder gripper 311 specifically adopts the structure and principle of a pneumatic finger in the prior art, which will not be elaborated in detail in this application.
[0053] The bending angle of the second adapter plate 32 is an obtuse angle. The first adapter plate 31 is L-shaped. The vertical surface of the first adapter plate 31 is fixedly connected to the Z-axis module 23 by bolts. The motor bracket 34 is installed on the horizontal surface of the first adapter plate 31. A flange 38 is connected to the second adapter plate 32, and a flange bearing 37 is connected to the first adapter plate 31. The flange 38 and the flange bearing 37 cooperate with each other. The output shaft of the first stepper servo motor 33 is connected to a smooth shaft 36 and a coupling 35. The first stepper servo motor 33 is connected to the horizontal plane of the second adapter plate 32 through the coupling 35 and the flange 38 to control the horizontal rotation of the second adapter plate 32 relative to the first adapter plate 31.
[0054] In order to improve the accuracy of the finger cylinder gripper 311 in gripping the seedlings to be cuttaged, the front end of the finger cylinder gripper 311 is inclined. After the finger cylinder gripper 311 grabs the seedlings to be cuttaged from the vibrating disk 4, the seedlings to be cuttaged are in a horizontal state. The first stepper servo motor 33 drives the second adapter plate 32 and the finger cylinder gripper 311 installed on the second adapter plate 32 to rotate horizontally. The second stepper servo motor 39 drives the finger cylinder gripper 311 to rotate 180° on the inclined surface of the second adapter plate 32, so that the seedlings to be cuttaged are rotated from the horizontal state to the vertical state, which is convenient for vertical cutting into the seedling tray 6.
[0055] The feeder 5 includes a bin 52 for storing the seedlings to be cuttaged. The bin 52 is fixedly installed on the table surface 13 of the base 1. The output end of the bin 52 is connected to an inclined material guiding groove 51, and the end of the material guiding groove 51 is located above the vibrating disk 4. The feeder 5 can be manually loaded or automatically loaded, such as the conveyor belt loading method in the prior art.
[0056] The seedling tray 6 is provided with multiple groups of array-distributed holes 62. Cultivation soil is placed in the holes 62. The holes 62 are used for cutting the seedlings to be cuttaged. A positioning scale 61 is provided outside the seedling tray 6. The positioning scale 61 is pre-fixed and installed on the table surface 13 of the base 1. The seedling tray 6 is placed in the area surrounded by the positioning scale 61. The positioning scale 61 is used for horizontal limiting of the seedling tray 6. The position and coordinates of the positioning scale 61 are preset into the control component 8 in advance. Limited by the positioning scale 61, the size and position of the seedling tray 6 are fixed. According to the number of rows and columns of the holes 62 on the seedling tray 6, the control component 8 controls the finger cylinder gripper 311 to walk a certain distance in sequence row by row or column by column, and accurately inserts the seedlings to be cuttaged into the holes 62 in sequence.
[0057] The display component 7 includes a screen connecting bracket 71 and a touch display screen 72. The touch display screen 72 is fixedly installed at the front end of the base 1 through the screen connecting bracket 71. The touch display screen 72 is electrically connected to the control component 8. The touch display screen 72 is used to display the working states of the linear module 2, the end gripper 3, the vibrating bowl 4, the feeder 5, and the vision positioning component 9; and it also displays the position and state of the seedlings to be cuttaged in the vibrating bowl 4 in real time.
[0058] The vision positioning component 9 includes a camera 92 and a camera bracket 91. The camera 92 is fixedly installed on one side of the base 1 through the camera bracket 91. The camera 92 is located above the vibrating bowl 4. The camera 92 is used to monitor the morphology and position of the seedlings to be cuttaged in the vibrating bowl 4 to assist the end gripper 3 in grasping the seedlings to be cuttaged. The camera bracket 91 can be an aluminum profile bracket.
[0059] When the robot is running, several seedlings to be cuttaged enter the vibrating bowl 4 through the guide groove 51 of the feeder 5. The camera 92 above the vibrating bowl 4 transmits the morphological and position information of the seedlings to be cuttaged in the vibrating bowl 4 to the control component 8 in real time. The control component 8 controls the Y-axis drive motor 216 and the X-axis drive motor 223 to drive the end gripper 3 to move above the vibrating bowl 4 respectively, and then controls the Z-axis drive motor 233 to drive the end gripper 3 to descend to the position of the selected seedling to be cuttaged. The control component 8 controls the stepping servo motor 33 to drive the finger cylinder gripper 311 to rotate horizontally, so that the finger cylinder gripper 311 can easily grasp the selected seedling to be cuttaged. After the grasping operation is completed, the seedling to be cuttaged is in a horizontal state on the finger cylinder gripper 311. The Z-axis drive motor 233 drives the end gripper 3 to rise. The control component 8 controls the Y-axis drive motor 216 and the X-axis drive motor 223 to drive the end gripper 3 to move above the first hole 62 of the plug tray 6 respectively. During this process, the stepping servo motor 39 drives the finger cylinder gripper 311 to rotate, so that the horizontally placed seedling to be cuttaged rotates to a vertical state to prepare for cutting. After the finger cylinder gripper 311 moves above the first hole 62 of the plug tray 6, the Z-axis drive motor 233 drives the finger cylinder gripper 311 to descend, and inserts the seedling to be cuttaged accurately into the first hole 62. The Z-axis drive motor 233 drives the finger cylinder gripper 311 to rise, and one cutting operation is completed.
[0060] The control component 8 controls the Y-axis drive motor 216, the X-axis drive motor 223, and the Z-axis drive motor 233 to repeat the above operations to grasp the seedlings to be cuttaged in the vibrating bowl 4 for the second time. Then, according to the position coordinates and walking distance of the plug tray 6 preset in the control component 8, it drives the finger cylinder gripper 311 to move to the second hole 62 in the order of rows or columns for cutting operation. After the cutting operations for all the holes 62 on the plug tray 6 are completed in sequence, the plug tray 6 is taken away, and a new plug tray 6 is replaced for cutting.
