The support assembly 4 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 1 at the rear end of the collection box 3. The clamping assembly 5 is assembled at the end of the support assembly 4. The support assembly 4 consists of a support column 41, a connecting column 42, a cylinder double lug 421, and a cylinder 42. 2. The components are: connecting rod 43, cylinder double lug 2 431, cylinder double lug 3 432, cylinder 2 433, rotating rod 1 434, support rod 44, mounting plate 441, rotating rod 2 442, connecting seat 443, mounting seat 444, bidirectional rotating output hydraulic cylinder 445, U-shaped mounting bracket 446, and rotary cylinder 447. The clamping assembly 5 consists of support plate 51, fixed column 52, cylinder 3 53, sliding groove 54, sliding column 55, mounting rod 56, mounting column 57, sliding rod 58, gripper 59, and U-shaped fixed bracket 510. Support column 41 is fixed to mounting base 1. Connecting column 42 is fixedly installed on the upper end of support column 41. Cylinder double lug 1 421 is fixedly installed on one side of connecting column 42. The bottom end of cylinder 1 422 is hinged to cylinder double lug 1 421. The extension end of cylinder 1 422 is rotatably installed on cylinder double lug 2 431. The other end of cylinder double lug 2 431 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of connecting rod 43. Cylinder double lug 3 432 is fixedly installed at the front end of cylinder double lug 2 431. The bottom end of cylinder 2 433 is hinged to cylinder double lug 2 431. The extension end of cylinder 2 433 is rotatably installed on rotating rod 1 434. Rotating rod 1 434 is rotatably installed on... The connecting rod 43 is mounted at both ends.

A rotary cylinder 44 is fixedly mounted on one side of the U-shaped mounting bracket 446. 7. The output end of the rotary cylinder 447 is indirectly connected to the clamping assembly 5. During use, the fixed connection between the support column 41 and the mounting base 1 provides a stable foundation for the entire assembly. The connecting column 42 supports the support column 41 and the subsequent adjustment structure. Through the hinged cooperation of cylinder lug 1 421 and cylinder 1 422, the connecting rod 43 can be driven to achieve initial angle adjustment. At the same time, the linkage of cylinder lug 2 431, cylinder lug 3 432 and cylinder 2 433 can drive the rotating rod 1 434 to precisely control the posture of the connecting rod 43. With the rotational connection between the support rod 44 and the connecting rod 43, the overall height and extension angle of the support assembly 4 can be flexibly adjusted to meet the needs of palm trees of different heights. To meet harvesting needs, the rotational cooperation between the second rotating rod 442 and the first rotating rod 434 within the mounting plates 441 at both ends of the support rod 44 further enhances the stability and accuracy of the support rod 44 adjustment, preventing wobbling during adjustment. The bidirectional rotating output hydraulic cylinder 445, assembled at the front end of the support rod 44 through the connecting seat 443 and the mounting seat 444, can drive the U-shaped mounting frame 446 to achieve multi-directional displacement. The rotary cylinder 447 on the U-shaped mounting frame 446 can drive the clamping component 5 to rotate, allowing the clamping component 5 to be aligned with the palm fruit from different angles, greatly improving harvesting flexibility and coverage, and effectively solving the problems of limited adjustment and narrow operating range of traditional harvesting equipment. A U-shaped fixing bracket 510 is fixedly installed at the output end of the rotary cylinder 447. Two support plates 51 are fixedly installed on the U-shaped fixing bracket 510.

A mounting column 57 is rotatably installed on the mounting rod 56. A clamp 59 is rotatably installed on the mounting rod 56. A sliding rod 58 is fixedly installed at the front end of the two support plates 51. In use, the U-shaped fixing bracket 510 is fixed to the output end of the rotary cylinder 447, which can stably support the cylinder. The rotary cylinder 447 provides rotational power, and the two fixed support plates 51 above it provide a symmetrical installation base for the subsequent structure, ensuring overall force balance. The fixed column 52 provides stable support for the cylinder 3 53. The extended end of the cylinder 3 53 pushes the sliding column 55 to slide along the sliding groove 54 on the support plate 51. The sliding groove 54 can precisely limit the movement trajectory of the sliding column 55 to avoid deviation. The sliding column 55 drives the installation rod 56 to move. The installation column 57 serves as the rotation fulcrum of the installation rod 56 and can assist in adjusting the clamping angle of the gripper 59. Together with the limiting support of the sliding rod 58 for the installation rod 56, it can ensure the stable opening and closing of the gripper 59, which can effectively prevent the fruit from falling off during harvesting and reduce damage to the palm tree, greatly improving harvesting efficiency and operational safety.

[0018] Working Principle: When a palm tree harvesting vehicle is put into use, the track 2 is first driven by the transmission mechanism 6 at both ends of the mounting base 1 to move the equipment in the palm tree planting area. Once the equipment moves to the target palm tree, the support assembly 4 on the mounting base 1 begins to move. The support column 41 provides a fixed foundation for the entire support assembly 4. The cylinder double lug 421 fixed on the upper end of the connecting column 42 is hinged to the bottom end of the cylinder 422. The extension end of the cylinder 422 drives the connecting rod 43 to rotate through the cylinder double lug 431. At the same time, the cylinder double lug 432 at the bottom of the connecting rod 43 cooperates with the cylinder 433 to drive the rotating rod 434 to move, thereby driving the support rod 44 connected to the front end of the connecting rod 43 to adjust the angle. The rotating rod 442 inside the mounting plates 441 at both ends of the support rod 44 cooperates with the rotating rod 434 to further assist the support rod 43. 4. Precisely adjust the position. The mounting base 444 on the front end connecting seat 443 of the support rod 44 is fixed with a bidirectional rotating output hydraulic cylinder 445. Its output end drives the U-shaped mounting frame 446 to move. The rotary cylinder 447 on one side of the U-shaped mounting frame 446 drives the clamping assembly 5 to rotate to the picking angle. In the clamping assembly 5, two support plates 51 are installed on the U-shaped fixing frame 510 fixed at the output end of the rotary cylinder 447. The fixing column 52 on the support plate 51 fixes the cylinder 3 53. The extension end of the cylinder 3 53 pushes the sliding column 55 to slide along the sliding groove 54 on the support plate 51. The sliding column 55 drives the mounting rod 56 to move. The mounting rod 56 adjusts its posture through the middle mounting column 57, so that the gripper 59 at the end of the mounting rod 56 completes the clamping and picking of the palm fruit. The picked fruit can fall into the collection box 3 on the mounting base 1, completing one picking operation.

[0019] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
