The present invention relates to field of engineering mechanics and more particularly, relates to an engineering work vehicle, and most particularly, relates to a telescopic connection component and aerial work platform. A telescopic connection component for telescopically connecting a telescopic transmission component and an operation platform of an aerial work platform together includes: an outer arm, an inner arm slidably disposed inside the outer arm and capable of being moved out from one end of the outer arm, and a forearm telescopic cylinder disposed between the outer arm and inner arm. The telescopic connection component has longer horizontal reach so that the operation platform is capable of moving to a further region in a horizontal direction, thus increasing working range of the aerial work platform. In addition, the telescopic connection component has higher structural strength and stability and accordingly, it also improves safety of the aerial work platform.

There is disclosed a mobile autonomous agricultural system comprising a powered mobile unit for carrying agricultural equipment, and configured to move along rows of crops. The powered mobile unit comprises a chassis extending along a longitudinal axis defining an inner zone to receive the row of crops, and an actuator which is moveable between a fully extended position and a fully retracted position to respectively raise or lower the height of the chassis above the ground. At least one distance sensor is disposed on the powered mobile unit and configured output respective distance signals relating to the distance of objects from the respective distance sensor. A controller is configured to receive the distance signals, and to control extension of each of the actuators to control the height of the powered mobile unit based on the distance signals.

A mobile picking platform system includes a mobile picking platform having a mobile carriage with a superstructure supporting multiple adjustable picking stations. A storage box carrier on the mobile picking platform has a pick position with storage boxes held at optimum heights for access by pickers on the picking stations, an unload position in which full storage boxes are unloaded onto a ground surface, and a load position for receiving empty storage boxes. A storage unit carries empty storage boxes and facilitates transfer of storage boxes to the mobile picking platform. A shuttle trailer may also be included in the system to transfer empty storage boxes to the mobile picking platform and storage unit. The shuttle trailer has a down positon in which full storage boxes may be picked up from a ground surface, and an up position for transferring storage boxes to the storage unit or mobile picking platform.

A harvesting apparatus and method for efficient fruit and nut collection in orchards. The apparatus comprises a shaker head with three axes of motion for engaging and shaking tree trunks to dislodge produce, and a blower for clearing fallen fruit or nuts from beneath the trees to an adjacent path for easy collection. The apparatus operates by moving between rows of trees, shaking each tree, and blowing the fallen produce into the next path in a single pass of the apparatus down the orchard row. This method ensures thorough and efficient harvesting, reducing labor and increasing productivity. The invention is suitable for various tree sizes and orchard layouts, enhancing operational efficiency and simplifying the harvesting process.
