[Detailed Description of the Invention] For details regarding the (i7i construction) of the fruit harvesting manipulator for harvesting fruits such as oranges and apples according to the present invention,
The present invention relates to a fruit harvesting manipulator with a biased arm part, the tip of which is provided with a fruit picking part, and the base end of which is configured as a movable part.

In view of the current situation where mechanization of fruit harvesting work has not progressed, the present applicant has already proposed a fruit harvesting device g that applies a manipulator in the prior patent application No. 488639-1983. Unlike general industrial manipulators, manipulators used in various types of fruit harvesting devices require a long arm so that they can pick fruits grown in high places or on branches in the back. . However, if the arm is simply made longer, the driving device for moving the arm will be seriously damaged. A chute for transporting fruit is extended from the picking section 9 provided at the tip of the arm, and the picked fruit is directly delivered to the storage section by this chute, which improves work efficiency. Although it is preferable for this purpose, simply providing a shooter
A drawback arises in that the shooter can be damaged by branches or the like.

As shown in FIG. 1, a fruit harvesting manipulator (1) has a fruit picking hand (3) attached to the tip of an arm (2). This hand (3) is the arm (2
), the fruit-picking finger (5) is connected to a hollow cylindrical base end (4), and is provided at the tip of the base end (4) so as to be able to control posture changes. A chute (6) for conveying picked fruit to a storage section (not shown) is extended from the lower end side of the base end (4). The shooter (6) is made of a flexible material and is designed so as not to hinder the free movement of the arm (2) and hand (3).
