[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0021] refer to Figures 1 to 4 A smart harvesting device for easy impurity removal includes a mobile vehicle body 1, a smart robotic arm 2, a support plate 3, L-shaped rods 4, a fixing collar 5, a collection cylinder 6, a pruning assembly 7, and a wind direction adjustment assembly 8. The mobile vehicle body 1 is equipped with a smart probe 11 and a central control box 12, which contains a central control unit. The smart robotic arm 2 is fixedly mounted on the mobile vehicle body 1. The support plate 3 is fixed to the output end of the smart robotic arm 2. Two L-shaped rods 4 are symmetrically arranged and fixed to both sides of the support plate 3. The fixing collar 5 is fixed to the lower ends of the two L-shaped rods 4. The collection cylinder 6 is fixed to the inner wall of the fixing collar 5. The pruning assembly 7 is disposed on the support plate 3. The wind direction adjustment assembly 8 is disposed between the pruning assembly 7 and the collection cylinder 6.

[0022] It should be explained that the intelligent probe 11 can accurately detect the specific location of the fruit and then feed it back to the central control unit. Therefore, the central control unit can control the mobile vehicle 1 to move autonomously to the vicinity of the picking location, and at the same time control the intelligent robotic arm 2 to drive the pruning component 7 to be placed on both sides of the upper branch of the fruit, so that the collection tube 6 is located directly below the fruit to be picked.

[0023] The intelligent probe 11 is equipped with a controller that senses the shape and color of the fruit and an image collector. The intelligent probe 11 can analyze and process the images received by the image collector through the internal controller to determine the specific location of the fruit to be picked, and then transmit the location information to the central control unit for location picking.

[0024] In one embodiment of this utility model, the pruning assembly 7 includes an electric hydraulic rod 71, a fixed block 72, a movable plate 73, a transmission rod 74, and a shearing blade 75. The electric hydraulic rod 71 is fixedly mounted on the support plate 3, and an extension rod 711 is fixed on the output shaft of the electric hydraulic rod 71. The fixed block 72 is fixed on the support plate 3, and the extension rod 711 is slidably disposed within the fixed block 72. The movable plate 73 is fixed at the end of the extension rod 711 away from the electric hydraulic rod 71. Two transmission rods 74 are symmetrically arranged, and two shearing blades 75 are symmetrically arranged. One end of the transmission rod 74 is hinged to the fixed block 72, and its middle part is hinged to the transmission rod 74. One end of the transmission rod 74 is hinged to the middle part of the shearing blade 75, and the other end is hinged to the movable plate 73.

[0025] In other words, when it is time to harvest the fruit, the central control unit controls the expansion of the electro-hydraulic rod 71, so that the moving plate 73 will drive the two shearing blades 75 to move closer to each other through the two transmission rods 74, thus cutting the branches at the top of the fruit and completing the harvesting work.

[0026] In one embodiment of this utility model, the wind direction adjustment component 8 includes a guide cylinder 81, a sliding rod 82, a guide ring 83, a connecting shaft, a guide tube 84, a sliding column 85, and a ball sleeve 86. The guide cylinder 81 is fixed on the support plate 3, and the extension rod 711 slides through the upper two side walls of the guide cylinder 81. The sliding rod 82 is slidably disposed inside the guide cylinder 81. The guide ring 83 is fixed to the lower end of the sliding rod 82 and is coaxially disposed with the collecting cylinder 6. The upper circumference of the collecting cylinder 6 is provided with multiple clearance grooves, and multiple connecting shafts are provided, each fixed to the side wall of a multiple clearance groove. The guide tubes 84 are configured in multiple ways, each rotatably mounted on a plurality of connecting shafts. Each guide tube 84 has a groove at one end away from the others. Multiple sliding columns 85 are configured and slidably pass through the multiple grooves. Multiple ball sleeves 86 are configured and fixed to the ends of the multiple sliding columns 85 away from the grooves. Multiple spherical grooves are circumferentially formed on the inner wall of the guide ring 83. Multiple ball sleeves 86 are slidably disposed in the multiple spherical grooves. Air holes are formed in the guide tubes 84, and a miniature air pump is installed in the air holes. The output end of the miniature air pump faces the inside of the collecting cylinder 6.

[0027] Please see Figure 3 When the guide ring 83 moves downward, the inner wall of the spherical groove will drive the ball sleeve 86 to move downward, thereby driving the guide tube 84 to rotate downward around the connecting axis through the sliding column 85. Therefore, the gas output direction of multiple guide tubes 84 will rotate upward synchronously. Similarly, when the guide ring 83 moves upward from bottom to top, the gas output direction of multiple guide tubes 84 will move downward synchronously.

[0028] In one embodiment of the present invention, the wind direction adjustment component 8 further includes a linkage rod 87, and an internal groove 712 is provided in the lower end of the middle section of the extension rod 711. One end of the linkage rod 87 is hinged to the left side wall of the internal groove 712, and the other end of the linkage rod 87 is hinged to the slide rod 82.

[0029] Please see Figures 3 to 4 When harvesting is required, the shearing blades 75 are placed on both sides of the branch to be cut. At this time, the electric hydraulic rod 71 is pneumatically expanded, and the two shearing blades 75 gradually approach the branch. During the period when the two shearing blades 75 begin to approach each other, the extension rod 711 will drive the sliding rod 82 to move rapidly downward through the linkage rod 87. The sliding rod 82 will move rapidly downward through the guide ring 83. Therefore, the output end of the guide tube 84 quickly faces upward, so that multiple guide tubes 84 can blow up the hanging branches and leaves. At this time, the two shearing blades 75 approach each other to prevent the fruit from being blown up, while the leaves will be blown to the top of the shearing blades 75, thereby preventing the branches and leaves above the branch to be cut from being cut along with the branch. This avoids excess leaves being mixed in with the harvested fruit, reduces the space occupied by debris, increases the effective utilization rate of fruit space, and thus improves harvesting efficiency.

[0030] Furthermore, when the electro-hydraulic rod 71 is in the retracted state, the output ends of the multiple guide tubes 84 face into the collection cylinder 6, thus enabling the removal of dust adhering to the surface of the fruit in the collection cylinder 6.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
