[0027] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention.

[0028] The composite robot for agricultural production provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes:

[0029] Robot body (1), harvesting device (2) and watering device (3);

[0030] The harvesting device (2), the watering device (3), and the robot body (1) are detachably connected;

[0031] When performing the harvesting task, the harvesting device (2) is fixed to the robot body (1), such as Figure 1 As shown, when performing the watering task, the watering device (3) is fixed to the robot body (1), as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the picking device (2) and watering device (3) greatly reduce the cost of automated fruit planting by reusing the robot body (1).

[0032] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the harvesting device provided in an embodiment of the present utility model. For ease of explanation, only the parts related to the embodiment of the present utility model are shown. The harvesting device (2) includes:

[0033] The fruit diameter separation mechanism (21) and the robotic arm (22) are integrated on the main body of the picking device (2); a laser radar is integrated on the robot body (1), and a depth camera (221) is integrated on the robotic arm (22); a processor is connected to the laser radar and the depth camera (221). The laser radar is used to perceive the environment and plan the driving path of the robot body (1). During the driving process, the robot body (1) identifies nearby fruits through the depth camera (221) and picks them through the robotic arm (22). After picking, fruits of different diameters are separated by the fruit diameter separation mechanism (21). The fruit diameter separation mechanism (21) includes:

[0034] The cavity contains a separation plate with several separation grooves (212) and the width of the separation grooves (212) gradually increases along the rolling direction of the fruit. The entrance area (211) is connected to the entrance area (211) at one end of the separation plate and to the side wall of the cavity at the other end. Several collectors (213) are arranged on the side of the separation plate near the bottom of the cavity and are arranged in sequence along the rolling direction of the fruit. A guide plate (214) is provided on the bottom plate between adjacent separation grooves (212) and is perpendicular to the separation plate.

[0035] The adjacent guide plates (214) on the separation plate form a fruit diameter separation channel with the separation groove (212) between the adjacent guide plates (214). The robotic arm (22) places the collected fruit in the entrance area (211) of the fruit diameter separation mechanism (21). The fruit enters each separation channel through the entrance area (211). As the fruit rolls along the separation channel, the fruit with a smaller diameter falls into the collector (213) at the bottom first, while the fruit with a larger diameter continues to roll and then falls into other collectors (213) at the bottom, thus realizing the automatic separation of fruits with different diameters.

[0036] In this embodiment of the utility model, the separation plate is inclined and the height of the separation plate from the bottom of the cavity gradually decreases along the extension direction of the separation groove (212). After the fruit enters each separation channel from the entrance area (211), it automatically rolls down along the separation channel, reducing the risk of the fruit blocking the separation channel.

[0037] In the utility model embodiment, the entrance area (211) is inclined and the end connected to the separation plate is low in height from the bottom of the cavity. After the robotic arm (22) puts the fruit into the entrance area (211), the fruit will automatically roll to one side of the separation plate and then enter different separation channels.

[0038] In this embodiment of the utility model, a card block is provided at the bottom of the picking device (2) body, and a card slot adapted to the card block is provided on the robot body (1). When picking, the card block on the picking device (2) body is inserted into the card slot on the robot body (1) to fix the picking device (2) on the robot body (1).

[0039] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the sprinkler device provided in the embodiment of the present utility model. For ease of explanation, only the parts related to the embodiment of the present utility model are shown. The sprinkler device (3) includes:

[0040] Water tank (31), water inlet located on top of water tank (31), and water tank cover (32) adapted to the water inlet;

[0041] An electronic water pump is installed in the water tank (31). The outlet of the electronic water pump is connected to the nozzle (33) through the water outlet pipe. The electronic water pump is connected to the processor.

[0042] First, fill the water tank (31) with an appropriate amount of water through the inlet. When spraying water, start the electronic water pump. The water in the water tank (31) is pumped into the outlet pipe through the electronic water pump and sprayed out through the nozzle (33).

[0043] In this embodiment of the utility model, a protruding locking block is provided at the bottom of the water tank (31), and a slot adapted to the locking block is provided on the robot body (1). When performing water spraying operations, the locking block of the water tank (31) is inserted into the slot on the robot body (1) to fix the water spraying device (3) on the robot body (1).

[0044] This utility model has been described by way of example. Obviously, the specific implementation of this utility model is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made by adopting the inventive concept and technical solution of this utility model, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution of this utility model to other occasions without modification, are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
