[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field] The original F! A#'i, at the tip 11M1 of the arm, there is a cylindrical case for taking in the fruit, a stalk pressing member that can be freely projected and driven to press and support the stalk in a predetermined position, and a cut formed between a pair of blade edges. A fruit harvesting hand equipped with a fruit stem cutting cutter that can be freely protruded and driven so as to insert the fruit stem at the predetermined position into the recess is repeatedly cast, and based on the fruit taking detection information into the case, activating the pedestal pressing member to protrude;
The present invention also relates to a fruit harvesting device that includes a control means for causing the cutter to protrude and then actuating the cutter to cut after the protrusion operation for the stem has been completed.

By the way, the width of the cutting recess formed between the pair of cutting blades in Irr is generally wider as it goes toward the entrance, allowing for smooth introduction of the fruit stem, but on the other hand, it is difficult to move the pair of blade edges relative to each other. When the stem is cut by moving closer, the stem tends to be pushed toward the entrance of the recess.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) By the way, the diameter of the opening for penetrating the fruit stem formed between the tip portions of the protruding fruit stem pressing member is generally larger than the diameter of the fruit stem. may be biased toward the entrance side of the cutting recess, and in addition, if the stalk is distorted, the stalk may be located out of the cutting recess, and as a result, the canter may not be activated for cutting. When cutting, the uncut fruit stem may be pushed out of the recess, or the pair of blade edges may not come into contact with the fruit stem at all, resulting in a cutting error.

In one prefecture where the upper sensor mark is located in the detection position and the upper sensor is operated upward, the upper sensor is in the non-detection state.
When any of the g finger sensors (S, ) to (S6) performs a detection action, the finger sensor (H) is configured to move horizontally in the direction of the finger sensor that performed the detection action. The fruit can be collected into the openings formed by the shaped members CF,) to (F6). In addition, if the upper part sensor does not detect it after performing the raising operation for a predetermined amount, it is determined that the crop cannot be harvested and the no.do (H) is operated to return to the desired position. be.
