Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fruit picking, and more particularly to an apple picking robot. Background Art

[0002] Although some progress has been made in the existing apple picking robot technology, it still faces many challenges and shortcomings, mainly in terms of equipment structure, collection and transportation efficiency, and stability.

[0003] First of all, many apple-picking robots use drive components combined with robotic arms to pick fruits. Although this design can basically meet the picking needs, the equipment structure is usually simple and lacks a matching collection device. This means that the picked apples need to be manually collected and transported, which not only increases labor costs but also greatly reduces picking efficiency. In large-scale orchards, the manual collection and transportation process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in bottlenecks in the picking process and failing to fully utilize the robot's automation advantages.

[0004] Secondly, to solve the above problems, some advanced apple-picking robots are equipped with storage bins to facilitate the collection and transportation of picked apples. However, these robots still have shortcomings in the connection and disassembly operations between the drive components and the storage bins. Usually, these operations are rather cumbersome. When a storage bin is full, it cannot be quickly replaced, which not only causes delays in picking work, but may also affect the overall picking plan and efficiency. During peak picking periods, this delay problem is particularly prominent, affecting the economic benefits of the orchard.

[0005] In addition, although some equipment has introduced quick connection and disconnection devices in order to improve the replacement efficiency of storage bins, these devices have simple structures and lack sufficient mechanical strength and stability. In actual operation, the bumps on the orchard road or the vibrations during the operation of the equipment may cause these connecting parts to loosen or even fall off. This situation not only affects the normal operation of the equipment, but may also cause damage or loss of apples during the picking process, increasing operational risks and maintenance costs.

[0035] A matching spring 21 is connected to one side of the adapter sleeve 14 , and the other end of the matching spring 21 is in contact connection with the matching sleeve 12 .

[0036] In this embodiment, when the storage bin 22 is full, the matching sleeve 12 is first rotated so that the matching sleeve 12 drives the matching groove 13 to rotate. When the matching groove 13 moves to the position corresponding to the matching plate 11, the adapter sleeve 14 is pushed so that the adapter sleeve 14 drives the adapter plate 10 and the adapter sleeve 14 to slide along the slider 20 and the slide groove 19, and the adapter sleeve 14 cooperates with the matching sleeve 12 to squeeze the matching spring 21. When the matching spring 21 is squeezed to the limit, the corresponding matching plate 11 will pass through the matching groove 13 and move to the other side of the matching sleeve 12. Then the matching sleeve 12 is rotated again so that the matching sleeve 12 drives the matching groove 13 to move to a position that does not correspond to the matching plate 11. At this time, the adapter plate 10 and the corresponding matching plate 11 cooperate to squeeze the matching sleeve 14 When the adapter sleeve 12 is limited to one side, the adapter sleeve 14 will no longer limit the outer end of the adapter rod 16. At this time, the unlocking sleeve 5 is rotated, and the unlocking sleeve 5 will drive the adapter rod 16 set on the side wall to rotate, and then the side wall of the adapter groove 17 will squeeze one end of the adapter rod 16. Due to the rounded corner design at the end of the adapter rod 16 and the edge of the adapter groove 17, one end of the adapter rod 16 will slide out of the adapter groove 17, and then the other end of the adapter rod 16 will drive the adapter spring 15 to stretch, and at the same time, the unlocking sleeve 5 will drive the unlocking block 2 to move, and then the unlocking block 2 will push the unlocking plate 3 to move outward, and then the unlocking plate 3 will drive the connecting spring 6 to stretch, and at the same time, the unlocking plate 3 will drive the fixing block 7 to slide out of the fixing groove 9, and then the fixing sleeve 4 and the fixing rod 8 will be pulled to both sides respectively. , the locking sleeve 4 and the locking rod 8 can be removed. At this time, the storage bin 22 and the drive assembly 1 have been disconnected. Then you need to connect the peripheral conveying equipment to this storage bin 22, and connect the drive assembly 1 to another empty storage bin 22, so that the connecting sleeve 27 connected to one side of the connecting frame 25 and the connecting sleeve 27 connected to one side of the fixing frame 26 are concentrically fitted together, and then the locking rod 8 passes through the two connecting sleeves 27, and then rotate the unlocking sleeve 5 in the opposite direction. The unlocking sleeve 5 will drive the unlocking block 2 to reset, and the unlocking sleeve 5 will drive the adapter rod 16 to rotate and reset. When the unlocking block 2 is completely reset, the adapter spring 15 will drive the adapter rod 16 to reset, so that one end of the adapter rod 16 is reinserted into the original adapter slot 17, and the unlocking plate 3 will When the limit of the unlocking block 2 is lost, the connecting spring 6 will drive the locking block 7 to return to its original position through the unlocking plate 3, and then the locking sleeve 4 will be directly fitted to the outside of the locking rod 8. Due to the chamfered design of one end of the locking rod 8 and one side of the locking block 7, the locking rod 8 will push the locking block 7 open, so that the locking block 7 drives the unlocking plate 3 to move outward, and then the unlocking plate 3 will drive the connecting spring 6 to stretch again. When the locking sleeve 4 is completely fitted to the outside of the locking rod 8, the connecting spring 6 drives the locking block 7 to engage with the locking groove 9 through the unlocking plate 3, so that the locking sleeve 4 and the locking rod 8 form a locking relationship, and then the matching sleeve 12 is rotated again, so that the matching sleeve 12 drives the matching groove 13 to rotate to the position corresponding to the matching plate 11, and then the matching spring 21 will push the adapter sleeve 14 to return to its original position.Then the adapter sleeve 14 drives the adapter plate 10 and the matching plate 11 to slide and reset along the slider 20 and the sliding groove 19. When the matching spring 21 is completely reset, the other two matching plates 11 just move to the two sides of the matching sleeve 12 respectively, and then continue to rotate the matching sleeve 12, so that the matching sleeve 12 drives the matching groove 13 to move to a position that does not correspond to the matching plate 11. At this time, the adapter plate 10 and the corresponding two matching plates 11 cooperate to form a limit on the adapter sleeve 14 to prevent the adapter sleeve 14 from sliding easily. Then the inner wall of the adapter sleeve 14 limits the outer end of the adapter rod 16 again to prevent the adapter rod 16 from moving. Then the adapter rod 16 will cooperate with the adapter groove 17 to form a limit on the unlocking sleeve 5 to prevent the unlocking sleeve 5 from moving, avoiding accidental unlocking caused by accidental rotation of the unlocking sleeve 5, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection part.

[0037] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 As an implementation method of the collection device: the collection device includes a storage bin 22, a tire 23 and a mounting frame 24, the mounting frame 24 can be detachably installed under the storage bin 22, and the tire 23 can be movably installed on the outside of the drive assembly 1 and one side of the mounting frame 24.

[0038] A connecting frame 25 is connected to one side of the storage bin 22 , a fixing frame 26 is fixed to one side of the driving assembly 1 , and a connecting sleeve 27 is connected to one side of both the connecting frame 25 and the fixing frame 26 .

[0039] A mechanical arm assembly 28 is movably provided above the driving assembly 1 , and a mechanical claw assembly 29 is connected to one end of the mechanical arm assembly 28 .

[0040] A camera assembly 30 is movably provided above the driving assembly 1 .

[0041] More specifically, when the device needs to be used, the drive assembly 1 and the camera assembly 30 are turned on. The camera assembly 30 facilitates observation of the surrounding situation of the device, and the device can be remotely controlled by an external electronic control device. Then the drive assembly 1 will drive the tire 23 installed below to drive the drive assembly 1 to move, and then the drive assembly 1 will drive the storage bin 22 to move through the connecting sleeve 27 provided on the fixing frame 26 and the connecting frame 25. Then the storage bin 22 will move through the tire 23 provided on one side of the mounting frame 24. When it moves to the appropriate position, the drive assembly 1 is turned off so that the drive assembly 1 no longer moves. Then the robotic arm assembly 28 is controlled to pick apples from the apple tree, so that the robotic arm assembly 28 picks the apples through the robotic claw assembly 29 connected to its output end. Then the robotic arm assembly 28 is controlled to move the robotic claw assembly 29 together with the picked apples to the inside of the storage bin 22. Then the robotic claw assembly 29 releases the picked apples so that the apples are placed in the storage bin 22. Then refer to the above steps and repeat the operation to complete the apple picking work.

[0042] In summary, when the entire device is in use or running: when the storage bin 22 is full, the matching sleeve 12 is first rotated so that the matching sleeve 12 drives the matching groove 13 to rotate. When the matching groove 13 moves to the position corresponding to the matching plate 11, the adapter sleeve 14 is pushed so that the adapter sleeve 14 drives the adapter plate 10 and the adapter sleeve 14 to slide along the slider 20 and the slide groove 19, and the adapter sleeve 14 will cooperate with the matching sleeve 12 to squeeze the matching spring 21. When the matching spring 21 is squeezed to the limit, the corresponding matching plate 11 will pass through the matching groove 13 and move to the other side of the matching sleeve 12. Then the matching sleeve 12 is rotated again so that the matching sleeve 12 drives the matching groove 13 to move to a position that does not correspond to the matching plate 11. At this time, the adapter plate 10 and the corresponding matching plate 11 are matched. The adapter sleeve 14 is limited to one side of the matching sleeve 12, and then the adapter sleeve 14 will no longer limit the outer end of the adapter rod 16. At this time, the unlocking sleeve 5 is rotated, and the unlocking sleeve 5 will drive the adapter rod 16 set on the side wall to rotate, and then the side wall of the adapter groove 17 will squeeze one end of the adapter rod 16. Due to the rounded corner design at the end of the adapter rod 16 and the edge of the adapter groove 17, one end of the adapter rod 16 will slide out of the adapter groove 17, and then the other end of the adapter rod 16 will drive the adapter spring 15 to stretch, and at the same time the unlocking sleeve 5 will drive the unlocking block 2 to move, and then the unlocking block 2 will push the unlocking plate 3 to move outward, and then the unlocking plate 3 will drive the connecting spring 6 to stretch, and at the same time the unlocking plate 3 will drive the fixing block 7 to slide out of the fixing groove 9, and then the fixing sleeve 4 and the fixing rod 8 will be moved to the outside. By pulling on both sides, the fixing sleeve 4 and the fixing rod 8 can be removed. At this time, the storage bin 22 and the drive assembly 1 are disconnected. Then it is necessary to connect the peripheral conveying equipment to this storage bin 22, and connect the drive assembly 1 to another empty storage bin 22, so that the connecting sleeve 27 connected to one side of the connecting frame 25 and the connecting sleeve 27 connected to one side of the fixing frame 26 are concentrically fitted together, and then the fixing rod 8 is passed through the two connecting sleeves 27, and then the unlocking sleeve 5 is rotated in the opposite direction. The unlocking sleeve 5 will drive the unlocking block 2 to reset, and the unlocking sleeve 5 will drive the adapter rod 16 to rotate and reset. When the unlocking block 2 is completely reset, the adapter spring 15 will drive the adapter rod 16 to reset, so that one end of the adapter rod 16 is reinserted into the original adapter slot 17, and the unlocking plate 3 will lose the limit of the unlocking block 2, and then the connecting spring 6 will drive the locking block 7 to return to its position through the unlocking plate 3, and then the locking sleeve 4 will be directly fitted to the outside of the locking rod 8. Due to the chamfered design of one end of the locking rod 8 and one side of the locking block 7, the locking rod 8 will push the locking block 7 open, so that the locking block 7 drives the unlocking plate 3 to move outward, and then the unlocking plate 3 will drive the connecting spring 6 to stretch again. When the locking sleeve 4 is completely fitted to the outside of the locking rod 8, the connecting spring 6 drives the locking block 7 to engage with the locking groove 9 through the unlocking plate 3, so that the locking sleeve 4 and the locking rod 8 form a locking relationship, and then the matching sleeve 12 is rotated again, so that the matching sleeve 12 drives the matching groove 13 to rotate to the position corresponding to the matching plate 11, and then the matching spring 21 will push the adapter sleeve 14 to return to its position.Then the adapter sleeve 14 drives the adapter plate 10 and the matching plate 11 to slide and reset along the slider 20 and the sliding groove 19. When the matching spring 21 is completely reset, the other two matching plates 11 just move to the two sides of the matching sleeve 12 respectively, and then continue to rotate the matching sleeve 12, so that the matching sleeve 12 drives the matching groove 13 to move to a position that does not correspond to the matching plate 11. At this time, the adapter plate 10 and the corresponding two matching plates 11 cooperate to form a limit on the adapter sleeve 14 to prevent the adapter sleeve 14 from sliding easily. Then the inner wall of the adapter sleeve 14 limits the outer end of the adapter rod 16 again to prevent the adapter rod 16 from moving. Then the adapter rod 16 will cooperate with the adapter groove 17 to form a limit on the unlocking sleeve 5 to prevent the unlocking sleeve 5 from moving, avoiding accidental unlocking caused by accidental rotation of the unlocking sleeve 5, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection part.

[0043] When the device needs to be used, open the drive assembly 1 and the camera assembly 30. The camera assembly 30 is convenient for observing the situation around the device. At the same time, the device can be remotely controlled by an external electronic control device. Then the drive assembly 1 will drive the tire 23 installed below to drive the drive assembly 1 to move. Then the drive assembly 1 will drive the storage bin 22 to move through the connecting sleeve 27 set on the fixing frame 26 and the connecting frame 25. Then the storage bin 22 will move through the tire 23 set on one side of the mounting frame 24. When it moves to the appropriate position, turn off the drive assembly 1 so that the drive assembly 1 no longer moves. Then control the robotic arm assembly 28 to pick apples from the apple tree. The robotic arm assembly 28 picks the apples through the robotic claw assembly 29 connected to its output end. Then control the robotic arm assembly 28 to move the robotic claw assembly 29 together with the picked apples to the inside of the storage bin 22. Then the robotic claw assembly 29 loosens the picked apples so that the apples are placed in the storage bin 22. Then refer to the above steps and repeat the operation to complete the apple picking work.
