Design of Fruit Picking Device Based on the Automatic Control Technology

Abstract:

£oWith our country's labor cost increase and forestry operations to improve the degree of automation, the automatic picking device will be gradually adopted to pick fruit in the future. This paper discusses the design process of intelligent mobile platform, five axis manipulator, end effector, electrical control device which belong to the automatic fruit picking device. The device is installed in the automatic navigation system and visual identity system, can accurately locate the position and pick fruit. The CAD/CAE software device was mainly used to design and analysis model, and design efficiency, feasibility and scientific were improved. According to the current development trend of fruit species gradually increased, the manipulator hand can adjust, which can pick the different shapes of fruits, and is installed with a visual sensor, pressure sensor, position sensor in the manipulator, and the finger stress analysis was made. In addition, the application of S7-200 model of PLC and pneumatic technology is used in the picking device, so that the overall structure is compact, more stable.
