Design and Fabrication of Coconut Tree Harvesting Machine

–  Coconut tree is one of the most important trees in agriculture. In India, agriculture is the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization. So we are choosing a project in the field of agriculture. Coconut tree harvesting helps to cut the coconut from the tree by controlling it through the mobile phone or switches. The structure of the coconut tree is cylindrical and single stem manually, so climbing on coconut tree is very difficult. The climbers suffer from musculoskeletal disorders in the long term. The climbers are not available at all the time. Due to this problem the coconut begins to ripen so the white meat begins thickness and eventually hardening with time. The existing techniques are not sufficient to solve the problem of unavailability of works for coconut tree climbing. Our primary goal of this project is to develop the coconut tree harvesting machine which helps in climbing and cutting the coconut from the tree without human efforts and replaced by robotic arms, motors, wheels, control switches and with the help of current. This project is fully compact system by using light weight and good strength materials and it is depend upon mechanical and electrical properties. It is less noise pollution and does not disturb the environment. This machine is not only used for coconut tree harvesting, it is also used for palm tree harvesting where the structure of both the tree is same. This machine has a big scope in agriculture for palm and coconut tree harvesting in order to bring a coconut and increase the productivity. The coconut is very good to human beings who help us in bone health, metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and cholesterol. In this study paper we have discussed the importance of coconut tree harvesting and the machine which reduces the cost efficient and does not require the skilled labors and waste of time
