Abstract

Design and experiment of double planet carrier planetary gear flower transplanting mechanism

Highlights

With the increasing demand of society for flowers and the continuous development of the flower market, flower production is a labor-intensive industry, and the demand of automatic equipment for potted flowers is growing[1]
Ting et al.[5] took the adept one SCARA robot as the ontology and designed a transplanting robot with four degrees of freedom. These transplanting mechanisms can meet the flower plug seedlings planting function, they have not been widely used for efficiency or cost reasons
Zhang et al.[17] designed a single planetary carrier tomatoes seedling transplanting mechanism which combined a non-circular gear planetary gear train with a transplanting arm equipped with a seedling extraction device

Summary

Introduction

With the increasing demand of society for flowers and the continuous development of the flower market, flower production is a labor-intensive industry, and the demand of automatic equipment for potted flowers is growing[1]. In order to get the ideal posture goal of the executive member of this mechanism, Zhao et al.[15] regarded this type of mechanism as a combination of open chain rod and non-circular gear They applied the method of open linkage group solution domain synthesis into the design of the single planetary carrier mechanism. Zhang et al.[17] designed a single planetary carrier tomatoes seedling transplanting mechanism which combined a non-circular gear planetary gear train with a transplanting arm equipped with a seedling extraction device. It could increase the amount of mechanism displacement. The working performance of the mechanism was verified by the flower transplanting experiment, which proved the superiority of the double planet carrier planetary gear flower potting transplanting mechanism
