The flexible end effector has the advantages of good adaptability to the sizes and shapes of fruits and capability of gripping fruits and vegetables and separating fruits and vegetables from fruit branches.

Description

Cone picking machine device people's flexible end actuator
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of cone picking machine device people's flexible end actuator.
Technical background
The target of picking robot is that life entity is arranged, and injury-free in order to guarantee to pluck target, end effector should have flexibility and security, carries out submissive control; Owing to pluck the complexity of individual subject otherness and shape, require end effector to have the adaptability in the certain limit, comprise the adaptability of individual sizes and target shape; Because the popularization object of agricultural robot is rural area and peasant, is satisfying under the prerequisite of plucking job requirements and should minimize cost in addition.
1985, people such as Japanese kawamura developed the end effector of the blade type of 3 rubber fingers of a kind of pneumatic gearing, are used for the fruit picking operation.The tomato harvester device people of people's developments such as Japan N.konda, its end effector is the attractor that has soft cushioning, soft cushioning has cushioning effect, can protect objective fruit to a certain extent.In addition, be provided with pressure sensor in the middle of the end effector, can realize submissive FEEDBACK CONTROL.People such as Monta have developed a kind of by 4 90 degree flexible finger and end effectors that attractor is formed spaced apart in order to adapt to new tomato production system.Each finger is crooked to the inside, and the other end of cable is connected in the end of executive item support, and when support back runs to a certain position, four fingers just begin inwardly to close up.People such as Peter P.Ling have designed a kind of picking fruit end effector of mainly being made up of digital linear stepper motor, 4 fingers and attractor.Finger utilizes hawser and muscle tendon to make its bending, utilizes torsion spring to make its stretching, extension.Digital linear step motor drive muscle tendon has strengthened controllability and accuracy that end effector moves.The actuator center is provided with vacuum cup, and the mode that adopt absorption, grasps is plucked objective fruit.
Chinese patent provides for No. 200810019826.7 a kind of fruit and vegetable harvesting robot flexible picking end effector; This end effector mainly is that the mode that adopts passive compliance structure and Active Compliance Control to combine has realized a kind of submissive extracting function to fruits and vegetables, and its passive compliance structure comprises vacuum ripple sucker and the secondary vacuum cup compliant mechanism of forming of ball, finger sensor and the Slewing Support Mechanism of floating.The characteristics of this patented technology are the harmless submissive extractings that can realize fruits and vegetables; But because vacuum cup is high to fruits and vegetables epidermis and surface requirements; And the stability and the poor reliability that realize extracting; Simultaneously, the end effector in this patented technology can only be realized the extracting function to fruits and vegetables, does not realize the mechanism that fruit branch separates.
Chinese patent provides a kind of end effector of apple picking robot for No. 200810156422.2.This actuator is made up of grasping system, diced system, sensor-based system three parts.This patent can realize the extracting of fruits and vegetables is separated with fruit branch; But the grasping system of this patent realizes that two fingers that fruits and vegetables are grasped are rigid member; Though point outerwrap with elastomeric material in rigidity; Can reduce damage, but because the rigidity characteristics of finger are not strong to the adaptability of fruit size and shape to pericarp.
Summary of the invention
For overcoming prior art, the invention provides a kind of size, cone picking machine device people's that shape adaptability is good flexible end actuator to fruit to the size of fruit, the shortcoming of shape bad adaptability.
Cone picking machine device people's flexible end actuator; Comprise frame, described frame is provided with the paw mechanism that grasps fruits and vegetables, and the described mechanism that holds in hand comprises base and finger; Described finger comprises the fixed bar that is fixed on the described base and the connecting rod hinged with fixed bar; Described connecting rod and one promotes its rubber tube with respect to the fixed bar swing and is connected, and described rubber tube end sealing, bottom are connected with an inflation mechanism, and described base is provided with at least three fingers.
Further, be fixed with guide rail on the described frame, be slidably mounted on slide block on the guide rail, promote slide block along guide rail cylinder that seesaws and the shut-off mechanism that crawled fruits and vegetables are separated with its fruit branch; Described shut-off mechanism comprises circular saw, and described circular saw is through a tape handler and an air motor interlock, and described circular saw and air motor are installed on the support, and described support is fixed on the described slide block.
Further, the one side towards fruits and vegetables of described connecting rod and fixed bar is equipped with rubber cushion, in order to avoid damage fruits and vegetables epidermis.
Further, described cylinder is fixed on the frame through cushion block.
Technical conceive of the present invention is: when grasping fruits and vegetables, to the rubber tube inflation, rubber tube make progress jack-up, promote connecting rod and clamp fruits and vegetables; During release fruits and vegetables, the gas in the rubber tube outwards discharges, and rubber tube shrinks downwards, drivening rod is away from fruits and vegetables.
After accomplishing grasping movement, start cylinder, make circular saw, start air motor, circular saw work, cut-out fruit branch near fruit branch.
Size, shape adaptability that the present invention has fruit are good, not only can grasp fruits and vegetables, and the advantage that can fruits and vegetables be separated with fruit branch.
