Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to crop harvesting equipment, specifically to an automated daylily harvesting device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, research on agricultural machinery for harvesting daylilies is not widespread both domestically and internationally. Daylilies have high requirements for harvesting conditions; mature, edible daylilies are typically pale yellow with slightly cracked bud ends. Especially in large fields, the characteristics of daylily buds are not obvious, making it difficult to distinguish them from withered or immature buds. Harvesting mature buds usually requires extensive manual judgment, which is inefficient and labor-intensive. This has resulted in limited research on target identification for mature daylilies. Currently, there are no fully automated daylily harvesting machines available domestically or internationally, and semi-automated machines still require manual operation, failing to effectively reduce labor costs. To improve the efficiency of daylily harvesting and promote the sustainable and healthy development of the daylily industry, achieving automated and intelligent harvesting of daylilies is an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0019] As shown in the figure, this utility model discloses an automated daylily harvesting device, including a base 1 connected to a mobile drive component. In this embodiment, the mobile drive component includes a trolley suspension component 3 and a drive motor. The trolley suspension component 3 is connected to the base 1, and wheels 2 are connected to the trolley suspension component 3. The wheels 2 are connected to the drive motor via transmission. A differential is installed in the trolley suspension component 3 for steering control. Simultaneously, a shock absorption component is installed to improve its buffering and shock absorption capabilities, adapting to field conditions. The device also has a built-in navigation and walking system for controlling the trolley's positioning, navigation, and movement. A robotic arm component 8, a vision detection component 4, and a collection frame 5 are installed on the base 1. The vision detection component 4 is a camera, which can feed back the captured content to the internal controller. After image comparison and analysis, the coordinates of the mature daylilies can be obtained. The robotic arm component adopts a linkage-type joint mechanism, enabling the robotic arm to perform multi-directional movements and ensuring that the robotic arm component 8 can accurately move to the location of the daylilies. The robotic arm assembly 8 is equipped with a picking component. In this embodiment, the picking component includes a mounting base 7, on which a first upper gripper 11 and a second upper gripper 10 are mounted. A first synchronous belt 12 is mounted on the first upper gripper 11, and a second synchronous belt 13 is mounted on the second upper gripper 10. Below the first and second upper grippers, a positioning sensor 14, a gripping claw, and a cutting blade assembly are sequentially arranged. Specifically, a first motor 9 is mounted on the mounting base 7. The output end of the first motor 9 is connected to a first gear 22, which meshes with a second gear 21. The first gear 22 is connected to a first synchronous pulley on the first upper gripper 11, and the first synchronous belt 12 passes around the first synchronous pulley. The second gear 21 is connected to a second synchronous pulley 20 on the second upper gripper 10, and the second synchronous belt 13 passes around the second synchronous pulley 20. Mounting base 7 is equipped with a first servo motor 25, the output end of which is connected to a third gear 23. The third gear 23 meshes with a fourth gear 24 and is keyed to a first upper clamping arm 11. The second gear 24 is keyed to a second upper clamping arm 10. Mounting base 7 is equipped with a second servo motor 30, the output end of which is connected to a fifth gear 27. The fifth gear 27 meshes with a sixth gear 26 and is connected to one end of a first clamping jaw 16. The sixth gear 26 is connected to one end of a second clamping jaw 15. Mounting base 7 is equipped with a third servo motor 19, the output end of which is connected to a seventh gear 29. The seventh gear 29 meshes with an eighth gear 28 and is connected to one end of a first cutting blade 18. The eighth gear 28 is connected to one end of a second cutting blade 17. The visual inspection component 4 can detect the maturity of daylilies and control the movement of the motion drive component, the robotic arm component 8 and the picking component. The robotic arm component 8 can drive the picking component to move to the mature daylilies to clamp and cut them and send the cut daylilies into the collection box 5.Furthermore, a pressure sensor is installed at the bottom of the collection box 5. When a certain amount of daylilies have been collected in the collection box, the pressure sensor detects that the weight of the collection box has reached the target, sends a feedback message, and causes the equipment to return to the base to collect the daylilies. In addition, a feeding pipe 6 is connected to the harvesting component. One end of the feeding pipe 6 is aligned with the bottom of the harvesting component, and the other end is aligned with the collection box 5, so that the cut daylilies can fall naturally into the collection box 5 through the feeding pipe 6, further improving the collection efficiency and reducing the movement of the robotic arm component, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the equipment.
[0020] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the moving drive component drives the device to move, the vision detection component 4 captures images of daylilies in the field and feeds them back to the controller. The controller obtains the coordinates of the mature daylilies through image comparison and analysis, and then controls the bottom trolley to move, driving the device closer to the mature daylilies. Then, the robotic arm component 8 drives the picking component to move to the mature daylilies. Then, the first and second upper clamping arms move closer to each other, so that the first and second synchronous belts clamp the roots of the flower buds. At the same time, the first and second synchronous belts move to move the daylilies until the positioning sensor 14 senses the daylilies. Then, the first and second grippers clamp the stems of the daylilies. Then, the first and second cutting blades cut the daylilies. Then, the first and second upper clamping arms and the first and second grippers release the daylilies. The daylilies can fall naturally through the feeding pipe 6 to the collection box 5 for collection. Then, the path is planned according to the coordinates of the next daylily plant and the equipment is controlled to complete the harvesting of the daylilies.
[0021] This invention's structure allows for automated detection of daylily production using a visual inspection component. Upon detecting mature daylilies, it controls the movement of the motion drive component, robotic arm component, and harvesting component to clamp and cut the mature daylilies before collection. This fully automated process significantly reduces worker fatigue and improves daylily harvesting efficiency.
