Research progress on key technologies of orchard operating platform
The mechanization of orchards in hilly and mountainous areas is an important means to improve production efficiency and increase the economic income of fruit farmers.This paper summarizes the research status of key technologies of orchard work platforms at home and abroad,analyzes the latest research results of work platforms,compares the performance differences between different types of chassis structures,and summarizes the types and characteristics of common work platform lifting mechanisms and automatic leveling mechanisms as well as the features and research progress in safety and stability.This paper also discusses the application of unmanned driving technology in work platforms and summarizes the common path planning technology routes.It points out that the supporting facilities in the mechanization development of orchards are not perfect,and the platform has poor scalability and low level of intelligence,etc.,and puts forward some suggestions that the orchard operating platform should develop towards the aspects of strong adaptability,chassis specialization,high intelligence of the whole machine,and high leveling accuracy.
