Design method and main parameters of standing tree pruning robot

This paper is on working mode, cutting mechanism and transmission of standing tree pruning robot.It was pointed out that pruning robot with spiral rise, chain cutting equipment and mechanical transmission was ideal working mode.In addition, the ideal working parameters were provided based on the research of working parameters and the object of pruning robot.During the research, a test system based on force sensor was developed, the friction coefficients between tyre and standing tree trunk of arborvitae, ginkgo and acacia were measured by the test system.This paper provides important data for the power selecting of pruning robot.
