[0022] Example 1

[0023] This utility model provides an intelligent black fungus harvesting machine, the overall structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a frame body 2, with a walking mechanism 1 arranged around the bottom of the frame body 2, a tray 4 positioned directly below the frame body 2, a crossbeam 6 positioned at the center of the bottom of the frame body 2, and harvesting mechanisms 5 symmetrically installed at both ends of the crossbeam 6. The harvesting mechanisms 5 are as follows... Figure 2 As shown. Two sets of gripping mechanisms 3 are arranged parallel to each other on the top of the main frame 2. The front structure of the gripping mechanism 3 is as follows. Figure 3 As shown, the rear mechanism is as follows Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 The magnified structures at points A and B are respectively as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the gripping mechanism 3 includes a lifting plate 38, on which a mechanical claw assembly is mounted.

[0024] The walking mechanism 1 includes a drive wheel 11 and a steering wheel 13, and the drive wheel 11 is connected to a drive motor 12.

[0025] Harvesting mechanism 5 includes a mushroom log rotary motor 51, on which a mushroom log fixing plate 52 is mounted. A column 53 is located outside the rotary motor 51, and a scraper servo motor 54 is located at the bottom of the column 53. A scraper 55 is located above the scraper servo motor 54. The scraper servo motor 54 is used to adjust the angle of the scraper 55, flexibly adapting to the thickness of the mushroom log or the growth state of the wood ear mushrooms, minimizing the damage rate of the wood ear mushrooms while achieving efficient harvesting. A scraper bracket 56 is connected to the top of the scraper 55, and the scraper bracket 56 is fixedly connected to the column 53. An electromagnetic push rod 57 is mounted on the scraper bracket 56. A fixing ball 58 is located at the bottom of the electromagnetic push rod 57, directly above the center of the mushroom log fixing plate 52. The fixing ball 58 can dynamically press the mushroom logs during operation. The two harvesting mechanisms 5 operate independently and will not interfere with each other.

[0026] The gripping mechanism 3 includes a moving beam 31, which is arranged parallel to the crossbeam 6. Both ends of the moving beam 31 are connected to the longitudinal rack 33 located above the frame body 2 via longitudinal gears 32. The longitudinal gears 32 are driven by a longitudinal motor 34. A transverse motion support 35 is mounted on the moving beam 31, and a transverse rack 36 is mounted on the back of the moving beam 31. A transverse motor 37 is located above the transverse motion support 35. The transverse motor 37 drives the transverse motion support 35 to move via a transverse gear 316 that meshes with the transverse rack 36.

[0027] A lifting plate 38 is connected to the front of the transverse motion support 35, and a lifting rack 315 is provided on the back of the lifting plate 38. A lifting motor 39 is also provided above the transverse motion support 35, and a lifting gear 310 is installed on the lifting motor 39. The lifting gear 310 meshes with the lifting rack 315. Through the cooperation of the longitudinal motor 34, the transverse motor 37 and the lifting motor 39 in the gripping mechanism 3, the gripping mechanism 3 can achieve precise movement in three-dimensional space.

[0028] The mechanical claw assembly includes a camera 311 positioned in the middle of the lifting plate 38. The camera 311 is used to identify the spatial coordinates of the mushroom log in real time and guide the grasping action. Below the camera 311 is a rotary servo motor 312, which controls the mechanical claw 314 to rotate 180° horizontally. This eliminates the need for significant lifting and crossing of the mushroom log during grasping and placement, simplifying the harvesting process and maintaining minimal load variation in the vertical direction. This improves the overall stability and safety of the operation, facilitating continuous and efficient mushroom harvesting. Below the rotary servo motor 312 is an opening / closing servo motor 313, which controls the opening and closing of the mechanical claw 314. The two gripping mechanisms 3 are respectively responsible for placing the mushroom sticks to be harvested and taking out the harvested mushroom sticks, realizing synchronous and seamless continuous work. The front and rear arrangement of the two gripping mechanisms 3 enables the mushroom harvester to balance the center of gravity of the whole machine when working, reducing the risk of imbalance that may be caused by the simultaneous movement of the two gripping mechanisms 3, and ensuring the stability of the whole machine under multiple working conditions.

[0029] The process of harvesting black fungus using the intelligent black fungus harvesting machine described in this embodiment is as follows:

[0030] S1. Move the mushroom harvester to the mature mushroom sticks to be harvested, and start the three-dimensional positioning function of the top gripping mechanism 3. The longitudinal motor 34, the transverse motor 37 and the lifting motor 39 work together to control the movement of the gripping mechanism 3. The camera 311 identifies the position of the mushroom sticks to be harvested, and the mechanical claw 314 performs the gripping.

[0031] S2. After the mechanical claw 314 grasps the mushroom stick, it is driven by the rotary servo motor 312 to rotate 180° and transfer the mushroom stick to the mushroom stick fixing plate 52 of the harvesting mechanism 5. At this time, the electromagnetic push rod 57 drives the fixing ball 58 to press down and fix the mushroom stick. The grasping mechanism 3 then releases the mushroom stick and continues to position the next target mushroom stick. The mushroom stick rotation motor 51 starts to carry out the harvesting operation.

[0032] S3. After the mushroom sticks are fixed, the harvesting mechanism 5 is started. The mushroom stick rotation motor 51 drives the mushroom sticks to rotate at a constant speed. The scraper servo motor 54 controls the scraper 55 to be close to the surface of the mushroom sticks. The wood ear mushrooms are peeled off by adaptive adjustment of the blade edge. The peeled wood ear mushrooms fall into the tray 4 for temporary storage.

[0033] S4. When the front gripping mechanism 3 puts a new mushroom stick into the harvesting mechanism 5, the rear gripping mechanism 3 simultaneously grips the mushroom sticks that have already been harvested in the harvesting mechanism 5. Through the 180° rotation of the mechanical claw 314 and the movement of the moving beam 31, the harvested mushroom sticks are unloaded. This achieves parallel operation of alternating loading / unloading between the gripping mechanism 3 and the harvesting mechanism 5.

[0034] S5. After the single-row mushroom sticks are harvested, the walking mechanism 1 moves the mushroom harvester to the next work point, repeating the above process until the entire area is harvested. The entire process is achieved through the coordinated control of the gripping mechanism 3, the harvesting mechanism 5, and the walking mechanism 1, enabling unattended continuous operation.

[0035] Therefore, this utility model adopts the above-mentioned intelligent black fungus harvesting machine. The camera provides visual basis for black fungus harvesting, and the gripping mechanism and harvesting mechanism work together to improve harvesting efficiency, laying the foundation for the standardization and digital management of the entire black fungus production process.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solution of this utility model, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
