After the cohesion assembly in the lower climbing mechanism 5 loosens the trunk of the fruit tree, if the rocking plate 5-15 in the upper climbing mechanism 4 is not at the initial position (namely, the rocking plate 5-15 is rotated in the step (2)), the deflection motor 5-1 in the upper climbing mechanism 4 drives the rocking plate 5-15 to rotate, so that the rocking plate 5-15 is reset, and the upper frame and the lower frame rotate around the trunk of the fruit tree, thereby realizing the aim of avoiding branches.
