The kiwi fruit picking device of claim 1, wherein the conveying rollers comprise symmetrically arranged circular rollers moving in opposite directions, the circular rollers comprise roller shafts, roller bodies and flexible comb teeth, the roller bodies are mounted on the roller shafts, the flexible comb teeth are mounted on the surfaces of the roller bodies, and the kiwi fruits under picking enter the fruit collecting box through the flexible comb teeth in a buffering mode so as to reduce collision damage of the kiwi fruits.
5. The kiwi fruit picking device of claim 1, 2, 3 or 4, wherein the walking device comprises a vehicle body, and a walking wheel and a hub motor mounted on the vehicle body, wherein the walking wheel is connected with the hub motor, and the hub motor drives the walking wheel and realizes 360-degree free steering.
6. The kiwi fruit picking device of claim 5, wherein the lifting mechanism comprises a lifting slide block and a hydraulic cylinder, two ends of the lifting slide block are respectively connected with the vehicle body and the frame, and the hydraulic cylinder is installed on the vehicle body and connected with the lifting slide block.
7. A method for picking kiwi fruits, characterized in that the kiwi fruits are picked by the kiwi fruit picking device according to any one of claims 1 to 6, comprising the following steps:
s100, turning on a power supply, detecting field environment information around a vehicle body by an infrared sensor, and transmitting the field environment information to a controller, wherein when no obstacle exists around the vehicle body, the controller controls a travelling device to drive the kiwi fruit picking device to travel forwards;
s200, detecting the top space of a vehicle body by using a three-dimensional laser radar, and continuously moving the kiwi fruit picking device forwards when no kiwi fruits exist in the top space; when the kiwi fruits in the top space are detected, the controller adjusts the picking speed by controlling the picking stepper motor according to the distribution density of the kiwi fruits;
s300, when the three-dimensional laser radar detects that the spatial position of the kiwi fruits exceeds the picking height, the controller adjusts the picking range by controlling the telescopic travel of the lifting mechanism so as to adapt to the picking of the kiwi fruits with different heights; and
and S400, when the infrared sensor detects that an obstacle exists in front of the vehicle body, the controller controls the traveling device to stop moving forwards, and simultaneously controls the picking device and the conveying fruit collecting device to stop working.
