Automatic Solar Pepper Picker Design

By studying the appearance of peppers, according to the top of the peppers are easy to form the characteristics of the string, this design selects the comb type picking head, the overall width of the comb blade is $\mathbf{1 5 0} \mathbf{~ m m}$, and the plate thickness is $\mathbf{1}$ mm. Use Solidworks to draw the whole machine structure and picking head design part of the transmission structure. In addition, when picking peppercorns need to consider the battery problem, it is impossible to carry a large number of batteries each time picking, so this design uses utility complementary off-grid photovoltaic power generation system, charging the battery of the picking machine by the utility, plus a 620 W high-power photovoltaic modules to the picking machine for power supply, to extend the picking machine’s working time is 15%. By analyzing the functional requirements of the pepper picker, designing it in the hardware and software parts, determining the minimum system composition of the system master control composed of STM32 chip, and building the simulation model, and verifying the reasonableness of the picker by simulation with Proteus software. Finally, it is analyzed in terms of economic benefits, environmental benefits and social benefits. The design research has important practical significance and can significantly improve the picking efficiency and reduce the cost of manual picking.
