DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a tenon cutting method for a fruit harvesting robot hand used in a fruit harvesting device, such as the one already proposed by the applicant in Japanese Patent Application No. 57-140021.

この種のロボットハンドにおいては、果実のホゾを切断
する必要が有り、各種の切断手段が提案されているがい
ずれもカッター等により実際にホゾを切り収る構成であ
った。
In this type of robot hand, it is necessary to cut the tenon of the fruit, and various cutting means have been proposed, but all of them are configured to actually cut the tenon with a cutter or the like.

しかし々がら、リンゴ、梨等の果実にあっては、ホゾを
切断しないである程度残して収穫することが行なわれて
いる。
However, in the case of fruits such as apples and pears, the tenons are left uncut to some extent when harvested.

As shown in Figure 1, for the above types of fruit, the tip of the tenon (A) covers the tip of the branch (Bl), and the rabbit simply pulls the fruit (C) downward. However, if you lift the tenon upward by twisting around the joint (P) between the tenon and the branch (B), the tenon will easily dislodge from the branch (B+). Based on this characteristic, the manual harvesting work at Matsuri is carried out without using scissors or cutters.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a tenon cutting method using a robot hand for fruit harvesting. After the fruit is gripped by the fingers, the tenon of the fruit is cut by rotating the gripping part upward about a position a predetermined distance above the gripping center of the fruit. do.
