Root hair cutting and soil clearing device for onion and garlic crops

Abstract

The invention relates to a root hair cutting and soil clearing device for onion and garlic crops. The device includes a horizontal flip bar located at the side of the rhizome gravity center parabolicdrop locus away from root hairs, wherein a lower side of the flip bar is an input end of an attitude adjusting soil clearing conveying mechanism, the attitude adjusting soil clearing conveying mechanism includes at least one pair of cylindrical drums supported on a frame, and outer circular surfaces of the cylindrical drums have a set of axially-spaced brushes arranged in the spiral feeding direction. The device is advantaged in that ingenious and simple mechanism setting is adopted, a series of operational problems such as reliable flipping of the rhizome of onion and garlic crops, preliminary position correction, symmetrical alignment, downward root hair carding, flexible transfer, as well as clearing of the soil attached to the bottom of the fruit, and forced root hair clamping and cutting are properly solved, attitude change and stable transfer of the onion and garlic crops are realized to complete mechanized root hair cutting and soil clearing, and thereby the foundation is laid for development of harvesters for Bulk rhizome crops such as onions and garlic.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for removing soil by cutting roots and whiskers, in particular to a device for removing soil by cutting roots and whiskers for onion and garlic crops, and belongs to the technical field of agricultural machinery. Background technique [0002] The common feature of massive rhizome crops such as onions and garlic is that the rhizomes that grow underground are used as edible parts, and the roots are located under the rhizomes. The seedlings above are longer and the roots will be attached to more soil. When harvesting, it is necessary to remove the soil and seedlings. and root cutting work. [0003] For a long time, garlic, onions, etc. have been harvested mainly by manual methods, that is, using traditional methods such as planing, manually picking up and shaking soil, manually cutting stems and removing roots, etc., which not only has high labor intensity, low production efficiency, high soil impurities, and is easy to h...
