[0020] In order to clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, this solution is described below through a specific implementation method.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 19 As shown, a plant factory hydroponic leaf vegetable cultivation board row root removal and harvesting device of the present invention comprises an automatic transmission root removal device, an automatic root cutting device and a harvesting transmission device. The automatic transmission root removal device is used to drive the cultivation board 2 to move forward, and after the automatic root cutting device cuts the roots, the cut roots are pulled downward from the sponge. The automatic root cutting device cuts the roots of the leaf vegetables on the cultivation board 2; the harvesting transmission device supports the leaf vegetables that have been cut and then transports them upward.

[0022] like Fig.19 As shown, the cultivation board 2 includes a board 2-4 and a sponge 2-3 fixed on the upper end surface of the board 2-4. A plurality of cultivation holes are opened on the board 2-4. Leafy vegetables 2-1 are planted in the cultivation holes, and the roots 2-2 pass through the sponge 2-3. After the leafy vegetables 2-1 are cut off, the roots 2-2 need to be pulled downward from the sponge 2-3.

[0023] like Figure 5 As shown, the automatic conveying and rooting device comprises a conveying table 1 and conveying table conveyor belts 4 arranged on both sides of the conveying table 1. The width of the conveying table 1 is close to or equal to the width of the entire cultivation board 2. The conveying table conveyor belts 4 are respectively installed on both sides of the upper end surface of the conveying table 1. The edges of the cultivation board 2 on both sides are supported on the two conveying table conveyor belts 4 to realize forward conveyance. During the conveying process, root cutting, rooting and harvesting operations are completed, and finally the empty cultivation board 2 is output from the end of the conveying table 1.

[0024] The conveying table 1 is fixedly connected with a plurality of guide rails 14 arranged side by side on the left and right sides. The number of the guide rails 14 is determined according to the number of rows of leafy vegetables on the cultivation plate 2. When the cultivation plate 2 is transported forward, the leafy vegetables travel between two guide rails 14.

[0025] The automatic transmission root removal device also includes a plurality of root removal mechanisms 5 arranged side by side, and the root removal mechanisms 5 are arranged between two guide rails 14. Figure 6 As shown, two gathering plates 5-1 are fixed between the two guide rails 14. The two gathering plates 5-1 are respectively fixed to the sides of the two guide rails 14. The distance between the two gathering plates 5-1 gradually decreases, and the root 2-2 enters between the two rotating columns 52 after being guided by the two gathering plates 5-1.

[0026] The root removal mechanism 5 includes two rotating columns 52 arranged side by side on the left and right, and the two rotating columns 52 are respectively axially connected to two rotating column mounting frames 5-4, and the rotating column mounting frames 5-4 are respectively fixed to the sides of two guide rails 14, wherein at least one rotating column 52 rotates actively, and the other rotating column 52 rotates passively, and the two rotating columns 52 rotate relative to each other to pull the roots after root cutting downwards.

[0027] like Figure 6 , 7 As shown, the end of the rotating column 52 is fixedly connected with a rotating column passive pulley 5-3, and the root removal mechanism 5 also includes a power box 5-5, and multiple rotating shafts on the power box 5-5 are equipped with rotating column driving pulleys 5-6. The rotating column driving pulley 5-6 drives the rotating column passive pulley 5-3 to rotate through the transmission belt, thereby realizing the driving of all the root removal mechanisms 5.

[0028] like Figure 8-12 As shown, the harvesting and conveying device includes a plurality of flexible clamping devices 9 arranged side by side on the left and right, and the number of the flexible clamping devices 9 is the same as the number of rows of leafy vegetables 2-1.

[0029] like Fig.11 , 12 As shown, the flexible clamping device 9 includes two conveyor belt supports 9-1 arranged side by side on the left and right. The conveyor belt supports 9-1 are tilted and the front end is lower than the rear end. The front and rear ends of the conveyor belt supports 9-1 are respectively connected to a passive roller 9-2 and an active roller 9-3. The conveyor belt 9-4 bypasses the passive roller 9-2 and the active roller 9-3. The circulation movement of the conveyor belt 9-4 is realized by the rotation of the active roller 9-3. A clamping and conveying space is formed between the two conveyor belts 9-4. The leafy vegetables are clamped by the two conveyor belts 9-4 and then conveyed to the rear and upward. In order to facilitate the leafy vegetables to enter between the two conveyor belts 9-4, the distance between the front ends of the two conveyor belts 9-4 gradually decreases from front to back, thereby forming a trumpet-shaped inlet.

[0030] In order to gradually reduce the spacing of the front end of the conveyor belt 9-4 from the front to the back and realize flexible support, the conveyor belt bracket 9-1 is hinged with multiple swing frames 9-5, and the swing frame 9-5 is located in the area between two conveyor belt brackets 9-1. One end of the swing frame 9-5 is hinged with the conveyor belt bracket 9-1, and the other end is axially connected with a swing roller 9-6, and the swing roller 9-6 fits the inner side of the conveyor belt 9-4. The conveyor belt bracket 9-1 is equipped with a tension spring 9-7 that pulls the swing frame 9-5 toward the conveyor belt 9-4, thereby realizing flexible support and forming a trumpet-shaped inlet.

[0031] In order to realize the driving of the active rollers 9-3 in the multiple flexible clamping devices 9, the harvesting conveying device also includes a conveyor belt power transmission device 13 for driving all the active rollers 9-3 to rotate.

The rotating shafts 13-2 are axially connected to a box body, and the transmission belt motor 13-1 is installed in the box body.

[0032] The transmission belt motor 13-1 drives any rotating shaft 13-2 to rotate through a group of spur gears. A power gear 13-3 is fixedly connected to each rotating shaft 13-2. Multiple power gears 13-3 are meshed in sequence to realize the rotation of all rotating shafts 13-2. The number of rotating shafts 13-2 corresponds to the active roller 9-3 one by one. The rotating shaft 13-2 drives the active roller 9-3 to rotate through the transmission belt.

[0033] The automatic root cutting device is installed at the front end of the harvesting conveyor device, and the rear end of the harvesting conveyor device is supported by a support beam 11, and the support beam 11 is supported by a support column 10. The front end of the harvesting conveyor device is supported by a height fine-tuning device 16, and two height fine-tuning devices 16 are provided, respectively located on both sides of the conveying table 1, and the adjustment amount of the height fine-tuning device 16 is very small.

[0034] like Fig.18 As shown, the left side is an appearance diagram, and the right side is a perspective view. The height fine-adjustment device 16 includes a support column 16-1 fixedly connected to the front end of the harvesting conveyor device and an adjustment box 16-2 fixed to the ground. A transverse pull rod 16-3 is rotatably connected inside the adjustment box 16-2. One end of the transverse pull rod 16-3 is rotatably connected inside the adjustment box 16-2, and the other end extends out of the adjustment box 16-2. A screw 16-4 threadedly connected to the transverse pull rod 16-3 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support column 16-1. Therefore, by pulling the protruding end of the transverse pull rod 16-3, the transverse pull rod 16-3 can be rotated, so that the height of the screw 16-4 can be adjusted through the thread, thereby adjusting the height of the front end of the harvesting conveyor device.

[0035] like Figure 14-17 As shown, the automatic root cutting device includes a plurality of root cutting mechanisms 6 and a plurality of gathering mechanisms 7. The root cutting mechanism 6 is used for cutting the roots, and the gathering mechanism 7 is used for gathering the leaves to expose the root part. The number of the root cutting mechanisms 6 and the number of the gathering mechanisms 7 are the same as the number of rows of the leafy vegetables 2-1.

[0036] The root cutting mechanism 6 includes a lower serrated plate 6-1 and an upper serrated plate 6-2. The upper serrated plate 6-2 is attached to the upper end surface of the lower serrated plate 6-1. A transverse guide rail 6-3 is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the upper serrated plate 6-2. The upper serrated plate 6-2 is guided by the transverse guide rail 6-3.

Figure 3 As shown, the position of the saw teeth is above the end position of the gathering plate 5-1 in the root removal mechanism 5, and the upper sawtooth plate 6-2 reciprocates left and right on the lower sawtooth plate 6-1 to achieve root cutting.

[0038] The gathering mechanism 7 includes a front gathering column 7-1 located on both sides of the lower serrated plate 6-1 and a rear gathering column 7-2 located behind the front gathering column 7-1. The front gathering column 7-1 is axially connected to the front gathering column fixing member 7-3, and the rear gathering column 7-2 is axially connected to the rear gathering column fixing member 7-4. The rear end of the front gathering column 7-1 is connected to the front end of the rear gathering column 7-2 through a universal joint coupling 7-5, so as to realize power transmission between the two. The front gathering column 7-1 and the rear gathering column 7-2 are both provided with spiral protrusions, and the distance between the two front gathering columns 7-1 gradually increases from front to back. The rear gathering column 7-2 is inclined and the front end is lower than the rear end.

[0039] The automatic root cutting device also includes a root cutting drive mechanism 8, which drives the upper serrated plate 6-2 to move back and forth and drives the front gathering column 7-1 and the rear gathering column 7-2 to rotate.

[0040] The root cutting drive mechanism 8 includes a root cutting drive housing 8-1, a plurality of root cutting drive shafts 8-3 connected to the root cutting drive housing 8-1, and a root cutting motor 8-2 for driving any root cutting drive shaft 8-3 to rotate. In this embodiment, the root cutting motor 8-2 drives one of the root cutting drive shafts 8-3 to rotate through a spur gear set. A root cutting drive gear 8-4 is fixedly connected to the root cutting drive shaft 8-3, and a plurality of root cutting drive gears 8-4 are meshed in sequence to realize the rotation of all the root cutting drive shafts 8-3. The number of the root cutting drive shafts 8-3 is consistent with the number of the rear gathering columns 7-2. The root cutting drive shaft 8-3 drives the rear gathering column 7-2 to rotate through the root cutting transmission belt 8-5.

[0041] A transverse connecting rod 8-8 is connected between the plurality of upper serrated plates 6-2, and the transverse connecting rod 8-8 connects all the upper serrated plates 6-2, so when the transverse connecting rod 8-8 moves left and right, all the upper serrated plates 6-2 can be driven to move left and right.

[0042] In order to realize the left and right movement of the transverse connecting rod 8-8, the upper axis of the root cutting driving box 8-1 is connected to the longitudinal driving rod 8-6. Fig.17 As shown, the longitudinal drive rod 8-6 is fixedly connected with a driven gear 8-7 meshing with any root cutting drive gear 8-4.

The crank-connecting rod mechanism includes a crank 8-9 and a driving connecting rod 8-10. One end of the crank 8-9 is fixedly connected to the end of the longitudinal driving rod 8-6, and the other end is hinged to one end of the driving connecting rod 8-10. The other end of the driving connecting rod 8-10 is hinged to the transverse connecting rod 8-8.

[0044] First, place the root collection box 15 on the ground, and place the leaf vegetable collection box on the collection platform at the end of the harvesting conveyor, then move the lateral pull rods 16-3 of the height fine-tuning device 16 on both sides of the conveying table to adjust the height to a suitable position for the current leaf vegetable harvesting, and adjust the working state.

[0045] The cultivation board 2 on the cultivation rack 3 is taken out and placed on the conveying table 1. The edges of the cultivation board 2 on both sides are supported on the two conveying table conveyor belts 4 to realize forward conveying. Before the cultivation board 2 is conveyed to the lower sawtooth plate 6-1, the front gathering column 7-1 and the rear gathering column 7-2 of the automatic root cutting device rotate outward to gather the leaves to expose the root part. The upper sawtooth plate 6-2 reciprocates horizontally to cut the roots. At the same time as the roots are cut, the rotating column 5-2 of the automatic conveying root removal device below pulls the roots separated from the leafy vegetables downward from the sponge and drops them into the root collection box 15.
