“…In order to obtain a greater quality of banana crown incision in mechanical de-handing works, Yang and Duan proposed an impact cutting mechanism of banana de-handing with the self-adaptive cutter to the banana bunch stalk and manufactured experimental prototypes [67][68][69]. Yang [70] and Xu [71] designed ring cutters with staggered arrangement of soft and hard blades and optimized key parameters of cutting speed, cutting edge angle, the number of blades of the cutter, etc. and obtained a greater quality of banana crown incision with a relatively low energy consumption.…”

In all operations of banana post-harvesting, picking and transportation are the operations with the highest labor intensity and the highest production costs. The operation of banana de-handing is still in the traditional stage by manual cutting, which seriously impedes the development of the banana industry towards mechanization, automation and intelligence. This review summarizes and analyzes the mechanized technology research status and equipment application of the banana picking, transportation and de-handing operations in banana orchards around the world and proposes basic ideas and constructive suggestions for quickening the mechanized development of banana post-harvesting.

“…In order to solve the key technical problems such as the poor profiling ability and the low self-adaptive performance of the banana de-handing device in banana mechanical de-handing, and further to manufacture practical mechanical de-handing devices, Yang Zhou and Xu Zeyu explored two types of mechanical de-handing mechanisms for single banana hand de-handing based on the manual de-handing method. One of them is an impact insert-type banana de-handing mechanism with ring cutters [2], and the other is a vibration-cutting mechanism with arc cutters [3]. In the mechanical banana de-handing procedure, the whole banana bunch needs to be fixed vertically for convenience of de-handing.…”

Aiming at the problem that the banana de-handing device has poor radial deployment to the banana bunch stalk during the mechanized banana de-handing procedure, this paper presented a ring deployable mechanism based on a set of planar seven-bar linkages. It consists of multiple basic deployable units, which has great folding/deploying performance and is suitable for manufacturing a banana de-handing device, the diameter of which can be variably larger. The kinematics analysis of the mechanism was done, and the trajectory in space was obtained. When the mechanism is fully deployed, the diameter is 164 mm. The ratio of the folded height to the deployed diameter is 0.732, the ratio of the folded diameter to the deployed diameter is 0.262, and the ratio of the folded volume to the maximum of the deployed volume is 0.069. An experimental prototype of 500, 500, and 768 mm in length, width, and height was manufactured, and the deploying performance was analyzed to show the feasibility. Finally, experimental results show that 71.43% of the banana hands are de-handed successfully. The mechanism has a great deploying effect on banana bunch stalk, and the quality of the banana crown incision is good.
