PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automatic fruit harvest device which picks strawberries by repetition of selecting and detecting ripe strawberries mainly, once cutting a peduncle near a fruit and then cutting the peduncle on an opposite side to the fruit one by one quickly, reliably, and carefully without damaging the fruit, and storing the strawberries directly at a predetermined position of a collection basket, and has a simple, strong, and inexpensive structure.SOLUTION: The automatic fruit harvest device includes: a fruit suspension spread face on a fruit nursery bed in plural sections on a fruit field a cart travel passage along the fruit suspension spread face a travel navigation line constructed in the cart travel passage and a travel cart reading and travelling along the travel navigation line. The travel cart includes: a harvest-capable fruit detection device a fruit harvest mechanism including a fruit holding tool and a fruit cut/separation tool a fruit storage tray mechanism and a fruit harvest automatic control device managing the motion positions of the devices by means of coordinates and performs automatic control.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】主に成熟イチゴを選択検出しながら当該成熟イチゴを一個ずつ迅速確実にしかも果実に傷つけることなく丁寧に果実近傍の果柄を一旦掴みその反果実側を切り、そのまま収集籠の所定位置に収容することを繰り返しながら摘み取る簡単堅牢安価構造の果実自動収穫装置を提供する。【解決手段】果実畑において、複数区画にした果実苗床に果実吊下展開面を設け、各果実吊下展開面に沿って台車走行路を配置し、台車走行路に走行ナビゲートラインを施工すると共に走行ナビゲートラインを読みながら走行ナビゲートラインに沿って走行する走行台車を設け、前記走行台車において、収穫可能果実検出装置と、果柄挟持具及び果柄切り離し具を設けた果実収穫機構と、果実収容トレイ機構とを搭載し、これらの動作位置を座標管理して自動制御する果実収穫自動制御装置を設けたことを特徴とする果実自動収穫装置。【選択図】図1
