Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention designs a fully automatic ginger harvester, which realizes the clamping and lifting of ginger, the separation of ginger and stems, and the crushing of ginger seedlings and stems. It has a high degree of automation, reduces labor, improves work efficiency, reduces costs, increases economic benefits, and does not damage ginger.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is:

[0005] Fully automatic ginger harvester, including a machine body, the machine body is provided with a frame, a plow blade is provided at the front end of the frame, a ginger lifting device is provided behind the plow blade, an inclined baffle is provided at the lower end of the ginger lifting device, and a ginger body conveyor belt is provided on one side behind the ginger lifting device for conveying the ginger body. A stem conveyor belt is provided directly behind the ginger lifting device for conveying the stems. The ginger body conveyor belt and the stem conveyor belt are arranged side by side; a dividing saw blade is provided between the ginger body conveyor belt and the stem conveyor belt for separating the ginger body and the ginger seedling stems; a pressing belt is provided above the stem conveyor belt for pressing the stems to achieve better separation.

[0006] Further, the dividing saw blade is arranged on a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is connected to a power device such as hydraulic transmission or motor transmission. The rotation of the dividing saw blade is used to cut the ginger body and the stem.

[0007] Further, there are multiple stem conveyor belts. A crushing saw blade is provided between adjacent stem conveyor belts. The crushing saw blade is arranged at the rear end of the stem conveyor belt and below the pressing belt to divide the stems into multiple sections.

[0008] Further, the crushing saw blade is arranged on a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is connected to a power device such as a motor or a hydraulic device. The rotation of the crushing saw blade is used to crush the stems.

[0009] Working process: First, loosen the soil with the plow blade. The ginger lifting device clamps and lifts the ginger stems. The lifted ginger falls along the inclined baffle to the conveyor belt. Among them, the ginger body is introduced into the ginger body conveyor belt, and the stems are introduced into the stem conveyor belt. As the ginger body conveyor belt and the stem conveyor belt are conveyed backward as a whole, at the pressing belt, the stems are pressed by the pressing belt, and under the action of the dividing saw blade, the ginger body and the stems are separated. At the same time, the stems are divided into multiple sections by the crushing saw blade. Finally, the ginger body and the stems are conveyed backward and discharged respectively.

[0010] Further, the lifting device is inclined towards the ground and includes two groups arranged side by side. Each group is composed of a chain and a sprocket. The chain is provided on the sprocket, and the sprocket is connected to the power device for transmission; the gap between two adjacent chains is 1 - 5 cm, and the front end opening is in an eight - character shape, which can introduce, clamp, and lift the stems.

[0011] Furthermore, the inclined baffle is inclined with the front lower and the rear higher, and the front end is located at the lower middle part of the lifting device, and the rear end is located directly below the rear part of the lifting device. At the same time, the lower part of the whole is inclined toward one side of the ginger body conveyor belt, so that the ginger body is introduced into the ginger body conveyor belt during the lifting process, and the stems fall down and are introduced into the stem conveyor belt after being lifted to the top. The lower edge of the rear end of the inclined baffle is located between the stem conveyor belt and the ginger body conveyor belt, so as to ensure that the stems fall onto the stem conveyor belt and the ginger body falls onto the ginger body conveyor belt. In addition, the rear end, i.e., the top of the inclined baffle is provided with a downwardly curved arc to prevent the large ginger from being damaged.

[0012] Furthermore, the splitting saw blade and the crushing saw blade are both arranged on a cutting shaft, and the cutting shaft is arranged on a cutting bracket. The splitting saw blade is coaxial with the crushing saw blade, but the splitting saw blade has a larger diameter, can cut different thicknesses, and can first split the ginger body and stems, and then crush the stems.

[0013] Furthermore, the height of the compression belt is adjustable. The compression shaft is arranged on a compression shaft bracket, and the compression shaft bracket is arranged on a frame. The height of the compression shaft is adjustable, so that the height of the compression belt can be adjusted according to the thickness of the stems delivered.

[0014] Furthermore, the compression belt is tilted, and the rear end is tilted downward, which is beneficial for compressing the stems and concentrating the cutting.

[0015] Furthermore, the compression belts are provided in plurality and correspond to the gaps between the plurality of the stem conveyor belts, so that the compression degree can be further improved and better segmentation and crushing can be achieved.

[0016] Furthermore, the stem conveyor belt is arranged on two stem conveying rotating shafts, one of which is a driving shaft, connected to a power device such as a motor or a hydraulic device, and the other is a driven shaft.

[0017] The ginger conveyor belt is arranged on two ginger conveyor shafts, one of which is a driving shaft connected to a power device such as a motor or a hydraulic device, and the other is a driven shaft.

[0018] The compression belt is arranged on two compression rotating shafts, one of which is a driving rotating shaft, which is connected to a power device such as a motor or a hydraulic device, and the other is a driven rotating shaft.

[0019] Furthermore, the pressing shaft rotates in opposite directions to the stem conveying shaft, thereby facilitating the stems to be concentrated on the cutting wheel for cutting and crushing.

[0020] Under the action of the inclined baffle (ginger guiding plate), the stems with ginger are conveyed onto the stem conveyor belt, and the ginger is conveyed onto the ginger conveyor belt on one side of the stem conveyor belt. As the conveyor belt advances, the stems are concentrated at the cutting wheel and the slicing wheel. Under the action of the pressing belt, they are pressed, and the ginger and the stems are sliced by the cutting wheel, and the stems are cut into multiple sections by the slicing wheel.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: It realizes the clamping and lifting of ginger, the separation of ginger and stems, and the crushing of ginger seedling stems. It has a high degree of automation, reduces the labor intensity, improves the work efficiency, reduces the cost, increases the economic benefits, and causes no damage to the ginger.
