[0037] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0038] Reference Figure 1-7 A harvester for Evodia rutaecarpa includes a mobile vehicle body 1, two storage boxes 6, two lifting plates 2, two multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arms 21, two mounting bases 22, two shearing sections 3, two recognition cameras 5, a control panel 8, and two hanging baskets 4.

[0039] The storage box 6 is fixedly installed on both sides of the mobile vehicle body 1. Slide grooves are provided on both sides of the mobile vehicle body 1. Two lifting plates 2 are slidably installed in the corresponding slide grooves. Two multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arms 21 are respectively set on the corresponding lifting plates 2. Two guide rods 203 are fixedly installed in each of the two slide grooves. The two lifting plates 2 are slidably connected to the corresponding two guide rods 203. Screws 202 are rotatably installed in each of the two slide grooves. The two screws 202 are threadedly connected to the corresponding lifting plates 2. Two adjusting motors 201 are fixedly installed on the top side of the mobile vehicle body 1. The output shafts of the two adjusting motors 201 are axially fixedly connected to the corresponding screws 202, which can adjust the height of the lifting plates 2 as needed.

[0040] Two mounting bases 22 are fixedly installed on the free ends of the corresponding multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arms 21, and two connecting bases 31 are fixedly installed on the two shearing parts 3. The two connecting bases 31 are connected to the corresponding mounting bases 22 by bolts, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the shearing parts 3.

[0041] A rotating ring 42 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 22. Two parallel support rods 41 are hinged to the rotating ring 42. The same fixed rod is radially fixed on the two support rods 41. The fixed rod is rotatably mounted on the hanging basket 4. When the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 21 controls the movement of the mounting base 22, the top opening of the hanging basket 4 can always be kept in an upward state. This not only effectively receives the Evodia rutaecarpa fruit cut by the shearing part 3, but also prevents the Evodia rutaecarpa fruit in the hanging basket 4 from spilling during the movement of the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 21.

[0042] A rotating ring 51 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 22. The identification camera 5 is fixedly mounted on the rotating ring 51 and is set towards the shearing part 3. A counterweight 52 with a weight greater than that of the identification camera 5 is fixedly mounted on the rotating ring 51 at a position symmetrical to the identification camera 5. This ensures that the identification camera 5 can always be controlled to be located on the side of the mounting base 22 away from the hanging basket 4 when the mounting base 22 is in a non-vertical state during movement.

[0043] The top of each of the two storage boxes 6 is fixedly installed with a support base 7. The top side of each of the two support bases 7 is cylindrical. The bottom side of each of the two hanging baskets 4 is provided with a groove that matches the top of the support base 7. After the hanging basket 4 is locked onto the support base 7 through the groove, the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 21 can be used to control the hanging basket 4 to tilt towards the moving vehicle 1, thereby facilitating the auxiliary flipping and unloading action of the hanging basket 4.

[0044] The control panel 8 is mounted on the mobile vehicle body 1, and the adjustment motor 201, the recognition camera 5, the shearing part 3 and the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 21 are all controlled through the control panel 8.

[0045] Specifically, in order to facilitate the collection of Evodia rutaecarpa fruits inside the storage box 6, and to facilitate the quick removal of the harvested Evodia rutaecarpa fruits from the storage box 6, an installation opening is provided on the front side of the storage box 6. A storage box 61 with an open top is slidably installed inside the storage box 6, and the front side of the storage box 61 extends into the installation opening and is fixedly installed with a handle.

[0046] Specifically, in order to provide a cushioning effect when the Evodia rutaecarpa fruit in the hanging basket 4 is poured into the storage box 6, and to provide a guiding effect for the Evodia rutaecarpa fruit, and to prevent the Evodia rutaecarpa fruit from being damaged when it hits the semi-rigid rod 601, the top of the storage box 6 is set open, and multiple semi-rigid rods 601 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the side of the storage box 6 away from the mobile vehicle body 1. The ends of the multiple semi-rigid rods 601 facing the mobile vehicle body 1 are all inclined downwards, and the multiple semi-rigid rods 601 located in the same storage box 6 are arranged parallel to each other. The material of the semi-rigid rods 601 is silicone.

[0047] The circuits, electronic components, and modular mechanisms involved, as well as the control of the motor, recognition camera, shearing unit, and multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm via the control panel, all employ existing technologies that can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need no further explanation. The content protected by this application does not involve any improvement to the software, circuits, or methods.

[0048] Working principle: When the power is turned on and the control panel 8 is activated, the control panel 8 controls the operation of the adjustment motor 201. The output shaft of the adjustment motor 201 drives the lead screw 202 to rotate. The lead screw 202 drives the lifting plate 2 to slide up and down along the guide rod 203, thereby adjusting the height of the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 21. The multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 21 moves to the target position according to the preset program or real-time operation instructions. At the same time, the recognition camera 5 is used to accurately locate the Evodia rutaecarpa fruit.

[0049] Subsequently, the control panel 8 sends a signal to control the shearing part 3 to operate. The shearing part 3 completes the shearing of the Evodia fruit through the cooperation of the connecting seat 31 and the mounting seat 22. Since the hanging basket 4 always keeps its top opening facing upward and located below the shearing part 3 under the action of the support rod 41, the rotating ring 42 and the fixing rod, the sheared fruit can fall directly into the hanging basket 4, ensuring that the fruit will not spill.

[0050] Once the basket 4 is full, the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 21 moves it above the support base 7. The groove on the bottom side of the basket 4 fits into the top of the support base 7. Then, the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 21 controls the basket 4 to tilt towards the moving vehicle 1, thereby cooperating to complete the unloading action. The fruit falls into the storage box 61 through the top opening of the storage box 6. The semi-rigid rod 601 provides cushioning and guidance during the falling of the fruit, and its silicone material effectively prevents the fruit from being damaged.

[0051] After the operation is completed, pull the handle to take out the storage box 61 from the installation port, quickly collect the harvested Evodia rutaecarpa fruits. The whole harvesting process is efficient and convenient, significantly reducing manual intervention, improving harvesting efficiency and ensuring the integrity of the fruits.

[0052] The above provides a detailed description of the Evodia rutaecarpa harvesting machine provided by this utility model. Specific embodiments have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
