AI Technical Summary
Existing ground-level cotton picking organizations tend to pick up branches, leaves, and soil debris along with the cotton, resulting in cotton containing a lot of impurities.
The system employs a pneumatic suction-type ground cotton picking component. It uses a movable roller and picking strip to push cotton into the outer shell, and then uses air suction through the suction port and air extraction pipe. Impurities are filtered by a movable cover and vent holes, and the cotton is guided into the collection bag by a rotating control mechanism and baffle.
It effectively avoids the intake of branches, leaves, and soil clods, improving the purity of cotton collection, saving energy, and facilitating subsequent processing.
