[0002] With the development of intelligent agriculture, the demand for automated and information-based equipment in orchard management is increasing. Traditional orchard inspections mainly rely on manual labor, which suffers from low efficiency, high labor intensity, incomplete inspection coverage, and inaccurate data recording. Especially in large-scale orchards, manual inspections struggle to monitor the growth status of fruit trees, pest and disease conditions, and changes in environmental parameters in real time, leading to delayed management decisions and impacting fruit yield and quality. In recent years, although some orchard inspection robots have been developed and applied, many technical bottlenecks and shortcomings still exist, specifically in the following aspects:
[0003] Existing fruit harvesting methods mostly rely on manual operation or traditional mechanical equipment, which have problems such as low efficiency, high fruit damage rate, and poor adaptability.

The mounting wheel 21, the triangular piece 16, and the roller 17 form a linkage assembly to ensure stable transmission of the track.
[0029] Please see Figures 1-2 A docking shaft 22 is installed on the upper part of the outer wall of the triangular piece 16, and one end of the docking shaft 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame. A vertical plate is fixedly connected to the support end of the support frame 1 7, and a motor 1 8 is installed on the inner right side of the vertical plate. A connecting piece 6 is installed on the drive shaft of the motor 1 8. A battery 5 is installed on the left side of the vertical plate. A fixed frame 1 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting piece 6 away from the support frame 1 7. A fixed frame 2 11 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixed frame 1 9. A motor 2 10 is installed on the right side of the inner wall of the fixed frame 1 9. The drive shaft of the motor 2 10 passes through the outer wall of the fixed frame 1 9 and is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 2 11. A fixed frame 3 12 is installed at the front end of the fixed frame 2 11. A fixed frame 4 14 is rotatably set at the front part of the outer wall of the fixed frame 3 12. A motor 3 13 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner frame of the fixed frame 3 12. A shaft piece 15 is installed on the drive end of the motor 3 13.
[0030] Powered by battery 5, motor 8 drives connecting piece 6 to rotate.

Finally, fixed frame 4 14 is driven to rotate through shaft piece 15 to form three-dimensional angle adjustment capability.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 and 4The end of the shaft piece 15 away from the motor 3 13 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed frame 4 14. The front end of the fixed frame 4 14 is fixedly connected to a docking plate, and the front end of the docking plate is provided with a mounting frame 24. The front part of the mounting frame 24 is equipped with a chassis 23. The mounting frame 24 has an electric push rod inside. The outer wall of the chassis 23 is fixedly connected to slotted blocks 26 on all four sides. The slot of the slotted block 26 is hinged to a hinged gripper 25. The end of the hinged gripper 25 away from the slotted block 26 is hinged to a hinge joint 27. The inner side of the hinged gripper 25 is hinged to a telescopic rod 28. The end of the telescopic rod 28 away from the hinged gripper 25 is fixedly connected to a hinged ball 29. The end of the hinged ball 29 away from the telescopic rod 28 is hinged to a displacement column 30. The bottom of the displacement column 30 is equipped with a cavity 31. The axial part of the cavity 31 is slidably connected to the lower part of the outer wall of the hinged ball 29.
[0032] Clamping and picking mechanism: The front end of the fixed frame 14 is connected to the mounting frame 24. The built-in electric push rod drives the displacement column 30 to move. The hinge ball 29 on the outer wall of the displacement column 30 is linked to the four sets of hinged grippers 25 through the telescopic rod 28. They move inward on the base of the slotted block 26 to clamp the fruit. The hinge joint 27 is designed to buffer the clamping force and prevent the fruit from being damaged.
[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0034] When in use, the motor built into the displacement vehicle 1 is started. When the motor is running, it will drive the drive shaft 19 to rotate. The central part of the outer wall of the drive shaft 19 is rotating and contacts the inner wall of the track 18, which brakes the track 18 for transmission. There are support frames installed at the front and rear parts of the outer wall of the drive shaft 19 for hinged connection of the articulation rod 20. The mounting wheel 21 connected to one end of the articulation rod 20 contacts the inner frame of the track 18. At the same time, the triangular piece 16 and the roller 17 are installed together to contact the inner frame of the track 18.
[0035] The battery 5 powers the motor 8, which in turn drives the connecting piece 6 to rotate. The fixed frame 9 mounted on the top of the connecting piece 6 adjusts the angle. The fixed frame 11 connected to the outer wall of the fixed frame 19 operates through the motor 10 connected to the right side of the inner frame of the fixed frame 11, which is used to adjust the angle of the fixed frame 11. The fixed frame 12 mounted at the front end of the fixed frame 11 works in conjunction with the motor 13. When the motor 13 operates, it drives the fixed frame 14 to rotate through the shaft 15, which is used to adjust the angle of the fixed frame 14.
[0036] The mounting frame 24, which is fixed to the front end of the fixed frame 14, has a docking plate and an electric push rod inside. The operation of the rod will pull the displacement column 30, which is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the mounting wheel 21, to move. The hinge ball 29, which is hinged to the outer wall of the displacement column 30, will move towards the bottom of the inner cavity of the mounting wheel 21 during the movement. The hinge gripper 25, which is hinged to the telescopic rod 28, will move inward on the base of the slotted block 26, thereby clamping and picking the fruit between the four sets of hinge grippers 25.
[0037] The hinge joint 27 installed on the top of the hinged gripper 25 is used to protect the fruit from excessive clamping force during picking, which could cause damage to the fruit.
[0038] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
