Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of automatic picking equipment, in particular to a control system and a control method of a safflower picking robot.
Background
The safflower is also called as the safflower, is a special economic crop integrating medicinal use and oil plants, and has the effects of activating blood circulation, stimulating the menstrual flow, dissipating blood stasis and relieving pain. With the development of the medical and health care functions of safflower, the development of safflower series products has wide market prospect. Due to the characteristic that flowers and bulbs of safflower bloom in multiple batches, uneven growth postures, uneven stem heights, uneven distribution of the flowers and bulbs and the like, the harvesting machine cannot realize accurate, rapid and automatic picking, and still needs a large amount of manpower to finish the picking operation of the safflower. As such, research needs to be conducted on the automated picking of safflower.
Through retrieval, chinese patent document CN107637279A discloses a safflower picking robot, which comprises a walking device, an image collecting device, a picking device, a filament collecting device, a power device and a control device. The running gear is a crawler-type travelling trolley. The image acquisition device is arranged at the rear end part of the walking device and comprises a camera support and a binocular camera on the support. The picking device is a six-degree-of-freedom picking mechanical arm arranged at the middle position of the advancing device, and a stepping motor arranged at each movable arm joint. The filament collecting device comprises a filament conveying hose, a filament collecting box, a filter screen, a fan and a fan housing, wherein the filament collecting box is connected with a tail end picking head in the picking device through the filament conveying hose and fixedly arranged at the front end of the walking device through bolt connection. The power device and the control device are both arranged at the bottom of the traveling device.
Though, above-mentioned safflower picking robot has realized the automatic identification, has picked and has collected safflower, and whole journey need not artifical the participation, has reduced picking personnel's working strength. However, the safflower planting modes are various, the distribution of flower balls is not regular, and the picking mechanical arm of the safflower picking robot needs to repeatedly adjust the position and the posture to ensure the picking precision of the picking device, so that the picking efficiency of the safflower is greatly reduced, and the requirement of large-scale automatic safflower picking is difficult to meet.
For another example, chinese patent document CN110558048A discloses a saffron reverse butt-joint air-suction fully-open self-positioning flexible filament peeling robot. The filament stripping robot comprises a reverse butt joint type gathering and closing saffron crocus pneumatic adsorption angle variable flexible forced full-opening mechanism, an elastic telescopic flexible fastening pulling self-positioning type filament stripping mechanism, a self-overturning flower stem wrapping flexible clamping picking mechanism and an inclined climbing progressive type dislocation conveying self-sorting precise screening mechanism. This filament stripping robot draws with the flexibility through forced full-open and realizes that the filament is harmless to be peeled off entirely, guarantees the filament quality and gathers machining efficiency in grades to the filament stoving in real time, utilizes the point to touch from crawling extrusion moving mechanism of preventing to overcome and cause the extrusion destruction to the plant.
Though, above-mentioned filament is peeled off robot has avoided the extrusion of manual work when picking to the saffron crocus plant and has destroyed, has improved the efficiency of processing of gathering. However, safflower and saffron do not belong to one family, and the medicinal parts of the safflower and saffron are different, so that the upper filament peeling robot is difficult to be applied to the automatic picking of safflower in the picking process.
At present, the mechanical safflower filament picking machine mainly comprises a hand-held or backpack picking machine with air suction, air force, comb tooth type, double-roller type and shearing type, the efficiency is still low, the popularization and application difficulty is high, and the requirement of people on mechanical safflower filament picking is still difficult to meet.

The four walking devices are fixedly connected to four corners of the horizontally arranged rectangular picking manipulator guide frame respectively in a height-adjustable manner. The filament collecting system is fixedly connected above the guide frame of the picking manipulator. The multi-information fusion filament positioning navigation recognition system is fixedly connected to the front end of the picking manipulator guide frame. The picking manipulator guide frame comprises a left support frame, a right support frame, a front support frame, a rear support frame, a guide rail support frame, a picking manipulator single body, a horizontal moving rack and a horizontal moving guide rail. The device divides the safflower fruit net into the region, carries out the cover formula to pick to whole safflower, avoids leaking and plucks the filament to reduce the hourglass rate of plucking of safflower picking robot, reach the purpose that improves the robot and pick efficiency.
Although the safflower filament picking robot reduces the missing picking rate of the safflower to a certain extent, the picking efficiency of the safflower is still difficult to meet the requirement. For example, in a complex field environment, the safflower filament picking robot has difficulty in quickly ascertaining the spatial position information of the safflower filaments, and the selection of the whole picking path and the implementation of the picking process still need to be further optimized.
In summary, in the process of the research on the automatic picking of the safflower, how to design an automatic picking device to adapt to the operation of picking and collecting the safflower in a complex field environment, improve the positioning accuracy of the spatial position of the safflower, and further reduce the loss of the safflower in the picking process, thereby further improving the picking efficiency of the safflower becomes a technical problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.
