Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a garlic harvesting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Garlic bulbs, or garlic bulbs, are an important part of the garlic plant (Allium chinense) in the Amaryllidaceae family. They are also known as wild garlic, single-clove garlic, or large garlic bulbs. Garlic has a very long history of cultivation, originating in western Asia and Europe. Today, it is widely distributed in many parts of the world, and is commonly grown in both northern and southern China.
[0003] Garlic bulbs are spherical to oblate in shape, composed of numerous tightly packed, fleshy, clove-like bulbils covered with several layers of white to purplish membranous skin. They are rich in nutrients, containing 69.8 grams of water, 4.4 grams of protein, 0.2 grams of fat, and 23.6 grams of carbohydrates per 100 grams. They also contain calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin C, as well as thiamine, riboflavin, nicotinic acid, allicin, citral, and trace elements such as selenium and germanium.
[0004] Garlic bulbs, stems, and leaves can all be used medicinally, possessing warming, digestive, detoxifying, and insecticidal properties. They can treat dysentery, intestinal abscesses, and snake and insect bites. In the culinary world, garlic's unique flavor makes it an excellent seasoning, removing fishy odors, enhancing flavor, and stimulating appetite. It can also be pickled or made into garlic powder. Furthermore, the allicin in garlic gives it antibacterial and insecticidal properties. Common varieties include purple-skinned garlic, white-skinned garlic, and dog-tooth garlic.

[0039] Specifically, engine 7 drives the first bevel gear 9 to rotate, the first bevel gear 9 rotates to drive the second bevel gear 10 to rotate, the second bevel gear 10 rotates to drive the second pulley 11 to rotate, the second pulley 11 rotates through the first transmission belt 12 to drive the first pulley 8, the first pulley 8 drives the stem-cutting knife 2 to rotate, cutting the garlic stem.
[0040] Specifically, the second transmission assembly includes a main shaft 13, on which a fourth pulley 14 and a fifth pulley 35 are connected respectively. The back of the first bevel gear 9 is connected to a third pulley 15, which is driven by the fourth pulley 14 via a second transmission belt 16. The fifth pulley 35 is driven by the sixth pulley 18 via a third transmission belt 17. The back of the sixth pulley 18 is connected to a third bevel gear 19, which meshes with a fourth bevel gear 20. The back of the fourth bevel gear 20 is connected to a rotating shaft 21, and the outer wall of the rotating shaft 21 is connected to a screen barrel 4 via two screen barrel supports 22. An upper support 29 is connected to the frame 1, and a support bushing 30 is connected to the upper support 29. The rotating shaft 21 is rotatably connected inside the support bushing 30.
[0041] Specifically, the rotation of the first bevel gear 9 drives the rotation of the third pulley 15, which in turn drives the rotation of the fourth pulley 14 via the second transmission belt 16. The rotation of the fourth pulley 14 drives the rotation of the main shaft 13, which in turn drives the rotation of the fifth pulley 35.

The rotation of the rotation shaft 21 drives the rotation of the screen barrel 4, which in turn conveys larger stems and leaves to the rear end of the screen barrel 4 via the spiral pusher bar 31. Garlic bulbs fall into the garlic bulb receiving tray 5 through the gaps in the screen barrel 4.
[0042] Specifically, the linkage assembly includes two first linkages 23. Each end of the main shaft 13 is connected to an eccentric wheel 24, and each of the two eccentric wheels 24 is rotatably connected to a first linkage 23.

[0046] In use, the traction frame 33 is connected to the front-end equipment, which drives the garlic harvester to move forward. The engine 7 is started, and the engine 7 drives the stem cutter 2 to rotate and cut the garlic stems. During the forward movement, the soil turning shovel 3 inserts into the soil and transports the garlic into the sieve bucket 4. As the sieve bucket 4 rotates, larger stems and leaves are transported and discharged from the rear end of the sieve bucket 4. The garlic falls through the gaps in the sieve bucket 4 into the garlic receiving tray 5. As the garlic receiving tray swings, small clods of soil fall through the holes on the lower surface of the garlic receiving tray 5, and the garlic is then transported into the chute 22.
[0047] This garlic harvesting machine uses a frame 1 with a cutting blade 2 connected to the front to cut the garlic stems, a rotating sieve 4 to sieve the stems, leaves, and garlic heads, and a vibrating garlic receiving tray 5 to perform the final sieving of the garlic heads. The entire process is completed mechanically, avoiding manual operation and reducing the fatigue of personnel. It also improves the efficiency of garlic harvesting.
