[0002] The main components of domestic rubber tapping robots include a clamping mechanism, a tool feeding mechanism, and a cutting motion mechanism. They utilize opening and closing devices and tightening screws to perform cutting operations on rubber trees of different diameters.

[0003] However, traditional rubber tapping robots require highly skilled operators, and each blade sharpening process is time-consuming. The design of the tapping blades is also quite complicated, making them prone to damage in high-temperature and high-humidity environments. Furthermore, the operating and maintenance costs are too high. In addition, traditional rubber tree tapping methods usually rely on manual operation, which is not only inefficient but also prone to causing occupational health problems for rubber tappers.
