Inventors include Vishal; Krishan Dutt; and Seema Kumari.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to an advanced fruit plucker that integrates manual operation with intelligent fruit ripeness detection technology. This innovative device utilizes a combination of color and temperature sensors to accurately assess the ripeness of fruit, enabling precise and efficient harvesting. The sensors, strategically positioned atop the plucker, trigger an automatic clipper (104) mechanism upon detecting optimal ripeness, seamlessly cutting the stem and allowing the fruit to fall into a designated basket via an opening shutter (102). The plucker also features an auto cylindrical adjustable rod system, controlled by a push-button interface, allowing for dynamic adjustment of the rod's height to accommodate different fruit tree heights and terrains. This system not only enhances the efficiency of the harvesting process but also reduces manual labor and improves overall productivity. The integration of intelligent sensors, motorized components, and a user-friendly control interface makes this fruit plucker an innovative solution for modern agriculture, streamlining the harvesting process and maximizing yields with greater precision and ease.
