Detailed Description
The present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The spherical fruit picking and recovering device shown in fig. 1-2 comprises a movable base 1, wherein a picking manipulator 2 and a fruit box 3 are mounted on the movable base 1, and the picking manipulator 2 is connected with the fruit box 3 through a hose 4; the mobile base 1 is further provided with an image acquisition unit 6, the inner side of the hose 4 is provided with a plurality of strip-shaped air bags 51, the strip-shaped air bags 51 extend along the hose 4, and all the strip-shaped air bags 51 are connected with an air source device 52.
In the above structure, different from the solution in CN111512789A, the length of each strip-shaped air bag 51 is equal to the length of the hose 4, and each strip-shaped air bag 51 is an uninterrupted strip-shaped air bag body, and the air bag expands or contracts together with the air bag section within the full length range when being inflated or deflated. The strip-shaped bladder 51 may be formed separately and then fixed to the inner surface of the hose 4, or may be formed integrally with the hose 4.
At least one circle of airbag arrays are fixed in the hose 4, and each circle of airbag array comprises a plurality of strip-shaped airbags 51. In this way, by inflating and deflating the strip-shaped air bags 51 included in the air bag array by the air source device 52, the radius of the effective channel through which the fruit can pass in the hose 4 can be adjusted, so that the radius of the effective channel (as shown by R in fig. 3 and 4) is adapted to the radius of the fruit to be actually picked, and thus, in the process that the fruit passes through the inside of the hose 4, the damage to the fruit can be reduced or prevented, and the quality of the finally picked fruit is improved. Above-mentioned effective passageway is adjacent with a plurality of bar gasbags 51, because bar gasbags 51 extend along hose 4, consequently, when the fruit moves along effective passageway, it forms line contact or narrow face contact with between bar gasbags 51, and frictional force is less, and through the inflation volume of control bar gasbags 51, can make the effective passageway get the internal diameter slightly less than the radius of actual fruit, so when the fruit moves along hose 4, a plurality of bar gasbags 51 produced less frictional resistance to it, can make the fruit comparatively slowly get into fruit case 3.
When a plurality of circles of airbag arrays are arranged in the hose 4, the specifications of the strip-shaped airbags 51 belonging to the same airbag array are the same; and all the strip-shaped air cells 51 included in the same air cell array are inflated and deflated together. In this embodiment, the specifications of the strip airbags 51 belonging to different airbag arrays may be the same or different. As shown in fig. 8, two circles of strip-shaped airbags, namely, a heightening airbag 51a and an arc-shaped airbag 51b, are formed in the hose 4, wherein the heightening airbag 51a is fixed inside the hose 4, and the arc-shaped airbag 51b is arranged on one side of the heightening airbag 51a, which is far away from the hose 4, when the air supply device 52 is used, the air supply device can ventilate only the strip-shaped airbag 51 contained in one circle of airbag array (for example, only the arc-shaped airbag 51b is ventilated, the heightening airbag 51a is in a dry-shriveled state, and the heightening airbag 51a is integrally attached to the inner wall of the hose 4), and can also ventilate the strip-shaped airbags 51 contained in multiple circles or all airbag arrays (the arc-shaped airbag 51b and the heightening airbag 51a are ventilated at the same time), so that by combining the strip-shaped airbags 51 of different circles of airbag arrays, the adjustable range of effective passage radius can be greatly increased, and fruits with different sizes of the hose 4 can be adapted. Preferably, the heightening air bag 51a is made of an inelastic material, has a predetermined size and cross-sectional shape after being inflated, and has a cross-sectional shape preferably elongated in a circumferential direction of the tube 4, and the circular arc air bag 51b is made of an elastic material, and has different inflation amounts by being inflated with different amounts of gas, so that the heightening air bag 51a and the circular arc air bag 51b are used in combination, whereby an adjustable range of an effective passage radius can be effectively increased.
In order to realize the synchronous inflation and deflation of the strip-shaped air bags 51 belonging to the same air bag array, as shown in fig. 7, the strip-shaped air bags 51 belonging to the same air bag array are all connected with the same air cavity 53 positioned at the end part of the hose 4, and an air inlet pipe 54 and an air exhaust pipe 55 are arranged between the air cavity 53 and the air supply device 52. The strip-shaped air bags 51 belonging to different air bag arrays are connected with different air cavities 53.
In the above structure, the gas supply device 52 injects gas into the strip-shaped airbag 51 through the gas inlet pipe 54, and extracts gas from the strip-shaped airbag 51 through the gas extraction pipe 55 to control the amount of gas in the strip-shaped airbag 51. Preferably, the air inlet pipe 54 and the air exhaust pipe 55 are both provided with air valves, and when the inflation or the air exhaust is completed, the air valves are controlled to be closed so as to enable the strip-shaped airbag 51 to enter a pressure maintaining state.
The strip-shaped air bag 51 is preferably made of an elastic material, so that the strip-shaped air bag 51 does not generate wrinkles after being deflated, and the wrinkles can be prevented from rubbing the fruits to cause the fruits to pass through unsmoothly. In addition, since the strip-shaped airbag 51 made of an elastic material may become long after being inflated, and the difference in diameter between the sections (large middle inflation amount and small both end inflation amount) may cause poor uniformity of the inner diameter of the effective passage, and fruits may not pass smoothly, in order to solve the above problems, as shown in fig. 5 to 6, the strip-shaped airbag 51 of the present application has a flexible support for restricting the expansion of the strip-shaped airbag 51 therein, the flexible support includes a flexible wire 56 extending along the central axis of the strip-shaped airbag 51, a plurality of flexible wires 56 are fixed with respect to the strip-shaped airbag 51 and are circumferentially arrayed around the central axis of the strip-shaped airbag 51 (the cross section of the strip-shaped airbag 51 is circular), and the flexible wire 56 has no elasticity, and may be fixed on the inner wall of the strip-shaped airbag 51 or formed in the wall of the strip-shaped airbag 51; the flexible support further comprises a plurality of annular supports 57 perpendicular to the central axis of the strip-shaped airbag 51, the annular supports 57 are made of elastic materials, the annular supports 57 comprise circular arc portions 57a and inner concave portions 57b which are circumferentially arranged in a staggered manner, wherein the circular arc portions 57a are fixed on the inner wall of the strip-shaped airbag 51 or anchored in the wall of the strip-shaped airbag 51, the distribution density of the annular supports 57 gradually decreases in the direction from the middle portion of the strip-shaped airbag 51 to the end portion (as shown in fig. 5), that is, the annular supports 57 in the middle portion are densely distributed, and the annular supports 57 at the two ends are sparsely distributed. Through the structure, the flexible wire 56 can limit the strip-shaped air bag 51 to enable the strip-shaped air bag 51 not to be obviously lengthened when the strip-shaped air bag 51 is inflated, the concave part of the annular support 57 is gradually expanded when the strip-shaped air bag 51 is inflated, and due to the fact that the specifications of all the annular supports 57 are consistent, the annular supports 57 at two ends of the annular support 57 in the middle of the strip-shaped air bag 51 are densely distributed and sparsely distributed, all the positions of the strip-shaped air bag 51 can be evenly inflated when the strip-shaped air bag 51 is inflated, and the radius of the cross section of each position is good in consistency.

After the gripper 22 picks up the fruit, the mechanical arm 21 is operated to make the gripper 22 in a horizontal position and the second frame 72 is located at the lower end of the gripper 22, so that the gripper 22 releases the fruit to fall into the hose 4. In the retracted state, the second frame body 72 is expanded relative to the first frame body 71, so that the second frame body 72 and the end portion of the hose 4 are retracted backward, and the claw 22 is prevented from being influenced by the second frame body 72 and the end portion of the hose 4 to pick up the fruit.
As shown in fig. 10, the gripper 22 includes a base bracket 221, a gripper body 222, a telescopic bracket 223, a connecting rod 224, and a driving motor 225; the base bracket 221 includes a first plate portion 221a connected to the end of the robot arm 21 and a second plate portion 221b parallel to the first plate portion 221a, and a plurality of support rods 221c are connected between the two plate portions; all the supporting rods 221c pass through the telescopic bracket 223, and the driving motor 225 is installed at the inward side of the second board portion 221b and drives the telescopic bracket 223 to make translational motion relative to the seat body bracket 221; a plurality of said claw bodies 222 are hinged on said second plate portion 221b in a circumferential array; the connecting rod 224 is connected between each claw body 222 and the telescopic bracket 223.
