The invention discloses a rotary tooth type waste film picking machine with self-protection film picking teeth. The rotary tooth type waste film picking machine comprises a rack, a traction frame, a supporting wheel, a film rolling shaft, a horizontal roller, a conveying chain, a film picking mechanism, transmission mechanisms and the like. The traction frame and a gear box are arranged on the front upper portion of the rack. The supporting wheel, the film rolling shaft and a pressing roller are sequentially arranged below the rack from front to back. The conveying chain is arranged on the upper middle portion of the rack. The film picking mechanism is arranged on the rear upper portion of the rack. The transmission mechanisms are arranged on the two sides of the rack. According to the design, springs are additionally arranged on the film picking teeth so that the film picking teeth can be self-protected, the service life of parts is prolonged, and the operation reliability of the parts is improved; due to the design that bearings are arranged between a planetary plate and a fixed plate, the friction force between the planetary plate and the fixed plate is reduced, the flexibilityof the film picking mechanism is improved, and power consumption is reduced; the horizontal roller is additionally arranged in front of the film picking mechanism, thus, it can be guaranteed that thefilm picking teeth work on the same plane, and the picking rate is increased; due to the design of a tooth frame plate protection ring, mulching films are effectively prevented from winding the film picking shaft; and due to the same-direction rotation design of the film rolling shaft and the conveying chain, the film rolling success rate is increased.
