Abstract

According to the existing problems of winter jujube harvesting, such as the intensive labor of manual picking, damage to the surface of winter jujubes, a winter jujube harvesting and sorting device was developed. This device consisted of vibration mechanism, collection mechanism, and sorting mechanism. The eccentric vibration mechanism made the winter jujubes fall, and the umbrella collecting mechanism can collect winter jujube and avoid the impact of winter jujube on the ground, and the sorting mechanism removed jujube leaves and divided the jujube into two types, and the automatic leveling mechanism made the device run smoothly in the field. Through finite element analysis and BP (Back Propagation) neural network analysis, the results show that: The vibration displacement of jujube tree is related to the trunk diameter and vibration position; the impact force of winter jujubes falling is related to the elastic modulus of umbrella material; the collecting area can be increased four times for each additional step of the collection mechanism; jujube leaves can be effectively removed when blower wind speed reaches 45.64 m/s. According to the evaluation standard grades of the jujubes harvesting and sorting, the device has good effects and the excellent rate up to 90%, which has good practicability and economy.
