Abstract

Introduction

As the demand for strawberries increases, the growing area of strawberries is also increasing. However, the main method of harvesting strawberries is the traditional artificial harvest, so the harvest is the most time-consuming and laborious operation in the production chain.

Objective

By summarizing the recent years of strawberry harvest research, some valuable conclusions have been drawn to predict the future development of strobing machinery, providing reference to researchers in relevant fields.

Methods

This paper examines the patents of recent strawberry harvesting machinery, by comparing the characteristics of various mechanical structures, to plan the research route of the future strawberry machine.

Results and Discussion

The emerging problems and future directions of technology are identified through analysis and discussion of existing technologies.

Conclusion

Improvements in its structure alone do not meet the demands of modernization, and strawberry harvesting machines need to be more intelligent and integrated and use more efficient ways. More relevant patents are needed to be invented.
