Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a vegetable harvester.

Conventional vegetable harvesters of this kind have a structure in which a belt holds the leaves of the vegetables pulled up from the soil and transports them in a suspended state, while a cutter cuts between the roots and leaves. there were.

According to this configuration, there is a drawback that the medium-sized vegetables are tilted due to the pressing force when the cutter comes into contact with the vegetables, resulting in poor cutting accuracy.

In contrast, the present invention provides a lifting conveyor that holds the leaves and lifts the carrot upward from the soil, and a root holding conveyor that grips and conveys the carrot root from the lifting conveyor. and located above the root holding carrier,
The cutter is equipped with a guide-equipped cutter that moves up and down guided by the upper surface of the root, so it cuts the shoulder (
The cutter guided by the top surface (upper surface) allows the leaf to be cut just within the shoulder of the carrot, making it possible to significantly improve the cutting precision of the leaf compared to conventional methods.

Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.

First, we will discuss its configuration.

The machine body (1) has running wheels (2), and a lifting conveyor (3) at the front that grasps and pulls up carrot leaves from the soil.
has been established.

The root holding conveyance bodies (4) (4) are configured to have a narrow lower part and a wide upper part in accordance with the shape of the carrot so that the carrot can be conveyed while holding the root part between the legs.

The cutter (5) is rotatably attached to the lower part of a drive shaft (8) that is extendable and retractable by being internally mounted on an outer cylinder (7) that is extendable and provided with a spring (6) on its outer periphery.

The derivative "9" is located above the root holding conveyor (4) (4), and has a long guiding hole α into which the carrot leaf enters.
O is formed so that it moves up and down integrally with the cutter (5).

In short, the cutter (5) is configured to be able to move up and down as the derivative Cg) moves up and down while being guided by the shoulder of the carrot.

aη is a shooter, and is configured to drop carrot roots from which leaves have been cut.

@ indicates a training wheel.

Next, the effect of K will be explained.

When the aircraft (1) moves forward into the carrot field, the carrots
The leaf portion is held by the starting end of the lifting conveyor (3), pulled up, and conveyed upward in sequence.

The carrots are transported with their roots held by the root holding transport bodies (4), (4), and advance by pushing up the guide (9) with their shoulders.

Then, the cutter (5) moves upward together with its derivative 1.9) and cuts the leaf part just close to the shoulder of the carrot.

The roots are then dropped onto the field by a shooter Ql).

In this way, when the carrot (9) is positioned by hitting the shoulder part of the root part, the vertical position of the cutter (5) is determined, and the above-mentioned perforated leaf part and the root part are cut.

As described above, the present invention provides a lifting conveyor for lifting carrots upward from the soil by pinching leaves, and a root-holding conveyor for grasping and conveying the carrot roots from the lifting conveyor. The cutter is located above the root holding conveyor and is guided by the upper surface of the root and moves up and down.The cutter is equipped with a cutter that moves up and down while being guided by the upper surface of the root. It is possible to improve cutting accuracy.

Therefore, it has an excellent effect of maintaining the commercial value of carrots.

Note that similar effects can be expected even when this invention is used to harvest vegetables other than carrots.

... Root holding conveyor (5) ... Cutter (9) ... Name of derivative patent applicant Masataka Iseki, representative of Iseki Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd.

Claims (1)

[Claims] A lifting conveyor that holds the leaves and lifts the carrot upward from the soil, a root holding conveyor that grips and conveys the carrot root from the lifting conveyor, and an upper part of the root holding conveyor. This vegetable harvesting machine consists of a cutter with a guide that moves up and down guided by the upper surface of the root.
