Determination of Vibration Picking Parameters of Camellia Oleifera Fruit Based on Acceleration and Strain Response of Branches

This study examines the means of reducing the damage to the branches of Camellia oleifera in the process of vibration picking and solving the problems of low equipment-development efficiency and slow product renewal caused by using traditional test methods to determine vibration picking parameters. In this study, the optimal vibration parameters were determined by using the self-response (branch acceleration and strain) law of the Camellia oleifera tree, and finite element analysis and experiments are used to solve this problem. The 3D model of Camellia oleifera was built by Solidworks. The natural frequencies of Camellia oleifera were analyzed by modal analysis, the vibration frequency and amplitude were determined by harmonic response analysis, and transient analysis was used to compare with the test results. The results show that the optimal vibration frequency range of Camellia oleifera is 4~10 Hz, and the average correlation coefficient between the maximum synthetic acceleration and the simulated value is 0.85, which shows that the model can reliably predict the vibration response. At the same time, the best vibration parameters were determined to be 9 Hz, 60 mm and 10 s. Under these parameters, the abscission rate of the Camellia oleifera fruit was 90%, and the damage rate of the flower bud was 13%. The mechanized picking effect of Camellia oleifera fruit was good. This study can quickly determine the vibration picking parameters of Camellia oleifera fruit and effectively improve the development speed of vibration picking of Camellia oleifera fruit.
