“…Pomegranate is known for its nutritional, medicinal, and ornamental importance [1] .The fruit is popular due to the organoleptic characteristics of its arils, as well as its nutritional and therapeutic values, which are useful in the treatment of cancer, indigestion, leprosy and various chronic diseases [2][3][4] . The plant has high adaptive capacity, as a crop, pomegranate is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas [5] .If pomegranate trees are not pruned and allowed to grow naturally, they often sprout from the rhizosphere.…”

In order to liberate manual labor, reduce Labor burden and improve the efficiency of cutting pomegranate sprouts, this paper designed a pomegranate sprout cutting machine. Based on SOLIDWORKS software, 3D digital design and overall assembly of key components were carried out; Adopting PLC FX3U-32MT to control the stepper motor, cylinder and other related execution components, achieving the removal of sprouts and the removal of interfering branches and leaves; Control the actual operation of related structures using the MCGS configuration software control interface. Real time determination of cutting position, achieving the cutting of sprouts under different growth conditions. According to experimental measurements, the removal rate of sprouts in this device can reach 74.62%, and the damage rate can reach 18%. This device can promote the development of mechanical semi-automatic cutting in the field of pomegranate sprouting.

Aiming at the current low degree of mechanization of pomegranate sprouting tiller pruning in China, all relying on manual pruning, this paper designs a PLC-based pomegranate sprouting tiller removal machine. This machine adopts the identification method of wireless map transmission, the sprouting tiller removal method of multi-cylinder cooperative operation, and the MCGS configuration to realize the interaction between the user and the system, which realizes the displacement and angle compensation of the end-effector under complex conditions to realize the all-around accurate removal of the pomegranate sprouting tiller. The performance test and finite element analysis showed that the device could remove up to 74.62% of sprouting tillers, and the damage rate was as low as 18%. This meets the requirements of pomegranate plantations for the removal of emergent tillers.
