[0027] A worm gear self-locking servo motor is provided on the support frame 2. The output shaft of the worm gear self-locking servo motor is fixedly connected to two fixed plates 3. The worm gear self-locking servo motor is used to control the tilting height of the fixed plate 3.

[0028] Both transmission roller shafts 4 are rotatably connected within the two fixed plates 3. The reduction motor 6 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one of the fixed plates 3. The output shaft of the reduction motor 6 is fixedly connected and inserted into the corresponding transmission roller shaft 4. The conveyor belt 5 is drivingly connected between the two transmission roller shafts 4.

[0029] Furthermore, a plurality of fixing columns 7 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conveyor belt 5. The plurality of fixing columns 7 are evenly distributed at equal intervals on the conveyor belt 5. Rotating plates 8 are rotatably connected to the outer surfaces of the plurality of fixing columns 7.

[0030] Furthermore, a torsion spring for maintaining the position of the rotating plate 8 is provided between the rotating plate 8 and the fixing column 7. An arc-shaped rubber plate 9 is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 8. The cross-sectional shape of the arc-shaped rubber plate 9 is J-shaped.

[0031] Furthermore, a rotating rod 11 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one side of the rotating plate 8. A fixed block 12 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one of the fixed plates 3. An upper trigger post 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed block 12. The upper trigger post 13 is used to drive the rotating plate 8 that gradually approaches the funnel-shaped cloth sleeve 10 to rotate.

[0032] Furthermore, a lower trigger post 14 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixed block 12. The lower trigger post 14 is used to drive the arc-shaped rubber plate 9 to shake off the remaining leaves and other impurities inside it.

[0033] Furthermore, a feed inlet 15 is fixedly connected to the upper outer surface of one of the fixed plates 3. An apple collection basket 16 is provided on the mobile cart 1. The funnel-shaped cloth sleeve 10 is sleeved on the opening of the apple collection basket 16. The funnel-shaped cloth sleeve 10 is used for buffering the falling apples.

[0034] Further, when in use, the worm gear self-locking servo is used to drive the fixed plate 3 to rotate until the feeding port 15 is lifted to an appropriate height. The apple picking and collecting device is moved to a position close to the picker on the tree. Then, the picker puts the picked apples into the feeding port 15. The apples will roll into the corresponding arc-shaped rubber plate 9 from the lower end of the feeding port 15. The reduction motor 6 is started. The reduction motor 6 drives the conveyor belt 5 to operate through the driving roller shaft 4 thereon. When the conveyor belt 5 operates, it can drive the arc-shaped rubber plate 9 thereon to be transported downward together. Until the arc-shaped rubber plate 9 with apples gradually approaches the funnel-shaped cloth sleeve 10, the rotating rod 11 on the rotating plate 8 will contact the upper trigger post 13. At this time, the rotating rod 11 will drive the rotating plate 8 and the arc-shaped rubber plate 9 thereon to rotate. The rotating arc-shaped rubber plate 9 can pour the apples therein into the funnel-shaped cloth sleeve 10, which enables the apples to fall into the funnel-shaped cloth sleeve 10. Under the buffering of the funnel-shaped cloth sleeve 10, the apples finally fall safely into the apple collection basket 16 from the bottom opening of the funnel-shaped cloth sleeve 10. This avoids the situation in the traditional manual picking method that due to the long working time when manually picking fruits, the muscles are fatigued and it is easy to be negligent, resulting in the fruits accidentally falling or colliding with each other and being damaged. And this device minimizes the occurrence of such problems through precise control and stable transmission, improving the collection rate and integrity rate of the fruits.

[0035] Further, when the conveyor belt 5 continues to operate, the rotating plate 8 rotated to the lower part of the fixed plate 3 will gradually approach the lower trigger post 14, and the rotating rod 11 thereon starts to contact the lower trigger post 14. At this time, the rotating plate 8 rotates under its action and then immediately resets under the action of its own torsion spring. At this time, the arc-shaped rubber plate 9 on the rotating plate 8 has completed the shaking action, which can shake off the remaining leaves and branches in the arc-shaped rubber plate 9. This enables the arc-shaped rubber plate 9 not to be accidentally injured by the remaining branches and other impurities when receiving apples next time, and also reduces the presence rate of sundries in the collected apples.

[0036] Working principle: When in use, the worm gear self-locking servo drives the fixed plate 3 to rotate until the feeding port 15 is lifted to an appropriate height. Move the apple picking and collecting device to a position close to the picker on the tree. Then, the picker puts the picked apples into the feeding port 15. The apples will roll into the corresponding arc-shaped rubber plate 9 from the lower end of the feeding port 15. Start the reduction motor 6. The reduction motor 6 drives the conveyor belt 5 to operate through the driving roller shaft 4 on it. When the conveyor belt 5 operates, it can drive the arc-shaped rubber plate 9 on it to be transported downward together. When the arc-shaped rubber plate 9 with apples gradually approaches the funnel-shaped cloth sleeve 10, the rotating rod 11 on the rotating plate 8 will contact the upper trigger post 13. At this time, the rotating rod 11 will drive the rotating plate 8 and the arc-shaped rubber plate 9 on it to rotate. The rotating arc-shaped rubber plate 9 can pour the apples in it into the funnel-shaped cloth sleeve 10, so that the apples can fall into the funnel-shaped cloth sleeve 10 and finally fall safely into the apple collection basket 16 from the bottom opening of the funnel-shaped cloth sleeve 10 under the buffering of the funnel-shaped cloth sleeve 10.

[0037] Furthermore, when the conveyor belt 5 continues to operate, the rotating plate 8 rotated to the lower part of the fixed plate 3 will gradually approach the lower trigger post 14, and the rotating rod 11 on it starts to contact the lower trigger post 14. At this time, the rotating plate 8 rotates under its action and then immediately resets under the action of its own torsion spring. At this time, the arc-shaped rubber plate 9 on the rotating plate 8 completes the shaking action, which can shake off the remaining leaves and branches in the arc-shaped rubber plate 9.
