Intelligent fruit and vegetable picking and sorting robot
Technical Field
The utility model relates to an intelligent robot especially relates to a to picking letter sorting intelligent robot of spherical fruit vegetables.
Background
The agricultural robot is an important branch of robot application, due to the limitation of agricultural habits and culture levels formed in China for a long time, the agricultural robot in our country is developed later, along with the continuous emphasis of the country and the vigorous support of relevant policies, the agricultural mechanization in our country is rapidly developed, and the agricultural robot and the intelligent agricultural equipment have the characteristics of high efficiency, high precision, low strength, low energy consumption and environmental friendliness, and show wide application prospects.
At present, domestic agricultural robots mainly comprise vegetable picking robots, fruit sorting robots, grafting robots, agricultural production robots and the like. Currently, the research of agricultural robots in China is still in the initial stage. For example, the fruit picking robot test prototype developed by the Chinese agriculture university and deeply studied. The fruit picking robot has the advantages that research on aspects of fruit identification, fruit stalk position determination and the like is broken through, a fruit picking robot experiment platform is formed, the fruit is identified and positioned by applying an image processing technology, mathematical modeling is performed on conditions of fruit shielding, fruit overlapping and the like, and certain research data and research results are obtained. The picking robot mentioned in the patent 'vegetable and fruit picking robot and control method thereof' (2015104061634) integrates the characteristics of multi-sensors, automatic walking and multiple degrees of freedom of the bionic robot, realizes flexible picking and improves picking efficiency. And the eggplant picking robot developed by China agricultural university measures the distance between the fruit and the mechanical arm by using a visual sensor, when the measured distance is within the range of 27-57 cm, the measurement error can be controlled within +/-18 mm, the robot grabbing success rate reaches 89%, and the average picking time is 37 s each time. The cucumber picking robot developed by the university of China agriculture adopts a binocular vision imaging device, mainly aims at greenhouse environment operation, and achieves accurate positioning of cucumbers by collecting and processing images. The manipulator for finding the fruit also adopts an advanced infrared reflection type photoelectric sensor.
Although fruits and vegetables robots in China have been initially researched, the popularization degree is not high, and most orchards and vegetable orchards still adopt a human management mode for the following reasons: 1. the fruit and vegetable management has seasonal differences on the demands of human hands, the demands of the human hands are high, the demands of the human hands are concentrated on fruit and vegetable picking seasons, the functions of robots in the current market are single (only picking functions are realized, and sorting needs to be carried out on special sorting equipment), the demands of orchards cannot be met, the precision of the current picking and sorting equipment is low, for example, kiwi fruits are taken as an example, the orchard fruits can enter a mature period at the same time and must be picked in time, otherwise, the orchard fruits are over-mature and are not easy to store, and can be pecked by birds and the like. The labor cost investment in picking during this period is high. In addition, in the aspect, the kiwi fruits are sold from picking, and the kiwi fruits are sorted for convenient storage, transportation and sale, and the traditional sorting is carried out by people and machines according to the size, so that the ripeness of the kiwi fruits cannot be distinguished. When the over-ripe kiwi fruits are not sold in time and are stored together with other kiwi fruits, the over-ripe kiwi fruits can secrete ether and can ripen other kiwi fruits, so that the storage period is shortened. If the kiwi fruits are not sold in time, the kiwi fruits can rot in a large area, and the loss is disastrous.
