A New Low Cost Automatic Strawberry Picking Machine based on Cross-Monopoly Walking Mechanism with Adjustable Dimension Capability

Abstract

Agriculture is the foundation of a country's national economy, and improving agricultural technology and equipment is the inevitable requirement of a country's agricultural modernization. With the development of population aging and the decrease of a large number of agricultural labor force in the process of urbanization, the agricultural production cost is constantly increasing, and the agricultural automatic picking device can play an important role in reducing manual labor intensity and production costs, improving production efficiency and product quality, and ensuring the timely harvesting of fruits and vegetables. In many countries, strawberry picking is manual, not only with low efficiency, but also requires fruit farmers to bend over or squat to pick. Therefore, automated picking institutions are needed to reduce labor intensity and reduce production costs. Therefore, the strawberry picking mechanization, automation, in order to reduce labor costs, improve work efficiency, effectively reduce the labor burden of fruit farmers, is conducive to further expand the scale of strawberry production.

This paper is committed to develop a low cost new automatic strawberry picking device. In order to reduce the labor intensity of picking workers, improve the integrity of strawberry fruit and picking efficiency, a solar-assisted artificial strawberry picking device is designed with low cost, low energy consumption and portable convenience. The device is very light, and the pickers can easily make the device run and pick strawberries, which greatly reduces the labor intensity.
