Abstract
Description
1. Technical field
[0002] The invention belongs to the technical field of agricultural machinery, and in particular relates to a harvester for underground root and tuber crops. (II) Background technology
[0004] Rhizome crops are divided into long rhizomes, tuberous rhizomes and fibrous rhizomes. Long rhizomes include burdock, licorice and angelica dahurica. Long rhizome crops such as burdock are rich in nutrients such as protein, amino acids, vitamins, etc., and have high nutritional and medicinal value. However, since the rhizomes of these crops are long columnar, fragile in texture, and grow upright deep in the soil, they will break or be damaged if not carefully harvested, affecting their quality. Therefore, in order to avoid damaging crops during the harvest process, rhizome crops such as angelica dahurica and burdock are currently mostly harvested manually, that is, the soil around the rhizomes of crops such as angelica dahurica and burdock is first loosened, and then carefully extracted from the soil. This method has extremely low work efficiency, high labor intensity, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and high harvesting costs, which directly affects the planting benefits.
