The invention provides a flexible tomato picking end
actuator and a corresponding picking mechanism and method, and relates to the field of agricultural picking robots. The end
actuator is composed ofa fruit storage box, a control box, a movable platform, a mechanical arm and a mechanical arm end
actuator; the mechanical arm end actuator comprises a first air cylinder, a visual sensor, a second air cylinder, an air cylinder mounting plate, a U-shaped support, a spring support, springs, a profiling
finger structure, a suction cup, a
finger pressure plate, a suction cup air cylinder and rotating shafts; the profiling
finger structure comprises
silica gel piano keys, micro springs, finger rotating shafts, a left profiling finger, a left finger semicircular pressing plate, a right finger semicircular pressing plate and a right profiling finger. The end actuator completes fruit alignment, fruit adsorption, suction, pulling, clamping, swinging and breaking work processes, fruits are suckedand pulled and synchronously clamped, the
silica gel piano keys have the flexible self-
adaptation capacity, and then fruit stems are swung and broken for picking, so that the technical problems that tomatoes are low in picking efficiency and likely to be bruised are solved.
