Manual digging takes up more man-hours and has lower efficiency. It has been replaced by mechanical harvesting in large-scale planting.

[0003] The existing potato harvester collects potatoes together with the soil during the process of collecting potatoes, and a large amount of soil will also adhere to the surface of the potatoes. When collecting potatoes, the soil accounts for a large proportion, which greatly reduces the transportation efficiency after harvesting. Therefore, we propose a potato harvester with a soil removal structure and its application. Summary of the invention

[0017] Furthermore, sieve holes are provided on the surface of the conveyor belt, and the sieve holes are arranged in the corrugated depressions of the conveyor belt, and there are a plurality of sieve holes, which are evenly distributed on the surface of the conveyor belt. Connecting plates are symmetrically provided on both sides of the conveyor belt, and the inner side surfaces of the connecting plates are rotatably connected to the surface of the active roller, and the inner side surfaces of the connecting plates are fixedly connected to the surface of the driven roller. A baffle is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate close to the connecting tube, and the peeled-off and fine soil falls through the sieve holes and finally leaves the outer shell. The sieve holes are provided in the corrugated depressions of the conveyor belt, and the soil accumulates in the depressions under the action of gravity, thereby ensuring the falling efficiency of the soil.

[0018] Furthermore, a feeding plate is provided on the side of the shell away from the harvesting shovel, the feeding plate is provided on the side of the conveyor belt away from the baffle, and the feeding plate is slidably connected to the conveyor belt, the feeding plate is rotatably connected to the inner side surface of the shell through a rotating rod, and a bent plate is provided on the side of the feeding plate away from the conveyor belt, the bent plate is made of elastic material, the two ends of the bent plate are respectively fixedly connected to the side where the feeding plate and the shell are close to each other, and a number of bent plates are evenly arranged at the interval between the shell and the feeding plate, the conveyor belt transports potatoes and some large pieces of compacted soil to the top of the feeding plate, the potatoes and the compacted soil slide along the feeding plate to the tail of the shell, and the smaller compacted soil passes through the bent plate The gap between the potatoes and the soil is further screened out. Driven by the conveyor belt, the feed plate drives the potatoes and the compacted soil to vibrate. The compacted soil has a higher density, a larger mass and a larger inertia. Under the action of vibration, it gradually gathers to the bottom of the potatoes, and the potatoes are lifted to the top, so that the soil and the soil, the potatoes and the potatoes are constantly and slightly collided with each other. The soil at the bottom is peeled off from each other, and the remaining soil on the surface of the potatoes is also peeled off, so that gradually only clean potatoes are left at the tail of the shell. The curved plate is set to obtain a larger gap and improve the screening effect. The curved plate made of elastic material can act as a buffer when the potatoes just start to roll to the tail of the shell to prevent the potatoes from being bumped.

[0020] Furthermore, the walking assembly includes a roller, which is arranged in the middle part of the shell, and a wheel frame is arranged on the side of the roller close to the top of the shell, and the inner side of the wheel frame is rotatably connected to the roller through a rotating rod, and a slider is fixedly connected to the side of the shell close to the wheel frame, and the slider is slidably connected to the wheel frame on the side away from the shell, and the inner side of the slider is slidably connected to a limiting rod, and an end of the limiting rod away from the slider is fixedly connected to an arc plate, and the arc plate is fixedly connected to the side of the wheel frame close to the shell, and the surface of the limiting rod is slidably connected to a slide plate, and the slide plate is fixedly connected to the side of the wheel frame close to the shell, and the limiting rod A second spring is provided on the outside, and the two ends of the second spring are respectively fixedly connected to the sides of the slide plate and the slider that are close to each other.

At the same time, the outer shell drops, and the slider slides on the surface of the limit rod to adjust the height of the outer shell to adapt to different ridge heights and adjust the harvesting depth to avoid shoveling potatoes or incomplete harvesting. While the slider slides on the surface of the limit rod, it also slides inside the wheel frame to further limit the position and ensure smooth lifting and lowering. The setting of the second spring can provide a buffer for lifting and lowering to avoid collision between the outer shell and the internal structure.

[0021] An application of a potato harvester with a soil removal structure comprises the following steps:

[0022] Step 1: Preparation for harvesting: hang the harvester on a power source such as a tractor through a traction frame, move the housing, drive the roller to roll, and the auxiliary device to move. After the roller touches the ground, the harvesting shovel also touches the ground. At the same time, the housing drops, and the slider slides on the surface of the limit rod to adjust the housing height to adapt to different ridge heights and adjust the harvesting depth.

[0023] Step 2: Potatoes are scooped up, and the harvesting shovel moves with the shell, and the shell also drives the two saw blades to move. The harvesting shovel is inserted into the ground, and the harvesting shovel continuously scoops up potatoes and soil, and drops them along the harvesting shovel to the conveying component. When the saw blade moves, the soil between the ridges and the plant roots can be cut off;

[0024] Step 3: potato conveying. Start the motor. The output end of the motor drives the active roller to rotate. The conveyor belt slides on the surface of the driven roller. The peeled and fine soil falls through the sieve holes and finally leaves the shell. The conveyor belt conveys the potatoes and some large pieces of compacted soil to the top of the discharge plate. The potatoes and compacted soil slide along the discharge plate to the tail of the shell. The smaller compacted soil passes through the gap between the curved plates.

[0025] Step 4: Vibration screening: Start the impactor, and the output end of the impactor impacts the driven roller, thereby driving the conveyor belt to vibrate, and continuously screening the potatoes and soil blocks transported on the top of the conveyor belt. Under the action of the reaction force, the connecting tube vibrates, driving the harvesting shovel to vibrate. After the harvesting shovel is embedded in the ground, the soil is quickly pulled up, and the driven roller vibrates, driving the sliding column to slide inside the slide groove, and at the same time, the sliding column slides outside the slide rod, and the first spring is deformed to perform buffering;

[0026] Step 5: Screen out the remaining soil. Driven by the conveyor belt, the feed plate drives the potatoes and compacted soil to vibrate. The compacted soil has a higher density, larger mass, and greater inertia. Under the action of vibration, it gradually gathers to the bottom of the potato, while the potato is lifted to the top, causing constant small collisions between the soil and the soil, and between the potatoes. The soil at the bottom is peeled off from each other, and the remaining soil on the surface of the potato is also peeled off, so that gradually only clean potatoes are left at the tail of the shell.

[0027] The present invention has the beneficial effects:

[0028] 1. The present invention provides a harvesting mechanism. The vibration structure of the conveying assembly drives the conveying assembly to vibrate, and can also drive the harvesting shovel to vibrate. Therefore, after the harvesting shovel is embedded in the ground, the soil can be better pulled up to avoid the harvesting shovel from getting stuck, thereby obtaining a better harvesting effect. The vibration makes it easier for the harvesting shovel to shovel up the soil, which can speed up the traction speed and obtain a more efficient harvest. An arc groove is provided on the side of the harvesting shovel away from the connecting tube. The arc groove can reduce the contact surface of the harvesting shovel when it is inserted into the ground, thereby obtaining a greater insertion pressure and better insertion into the ground.

[0029] 2. The present invention sets a conveyor belt, and the corrugated surface of the conveyor belt can limit the position of potatoes, so as to prevent potatoes from rolling down on the top of the inclined conveyor belt during transportation. Moreover, since the conveyor belt is set inclined, when potatoes and soil fall on the top of the conveyor belt, they will stay between the conveyor belt and the connecting tube for a period of time due to their own inertia. At this time, the conveyor belt continuously transmits on the top of potatoes and soil, so that potatoes and large pieces of soil continuously roll, thereby peeling off the outside of large pieces of soil and preliminarily peeling off the soil on the surface of potatoes. The sieve holes are opened in the corrugated depressions of the conveyor belt, and the soil accumulates in the depressions under the action of gravity, thereby ensuring the dropping efficiency of the soil.

[0030] 3. The present invention sets a feed plate, and potatoes and compacted soil slide down the feed plate to the tail of the shell. Smaller compacted soil passes through the gap between the curved plates to further screen out the soil. Driven by the conveyor belt, the feed plate drives the potatoes and compacted soil to vibrate. The compacted soil has a higher density, a larger mass, and a larger inertia. Under the action of vibration, it gradually gathers to the bottom of the potatoes, and the potatoes are lifted to the top, so that the soil and the soil, and the potatoes and the potatoes constantly collide with each other in small amounts. The soil at the bottom is peeled off from each other, and the remaining soil on the surface of the potatoes is also peeled off, so that only clean potatoes are gradually left at the tail of the shell. The curved plate is bent to obtain a larger gap, which improves the screening effect. The curved plate made of elastic material can act as a buffer when the potatoes just start to roll to the tail of the shell to prevent the potatoes from being bumped.

[0031] 4. The present invention sets a walking assembly, the outer shell descends, and the slider slides on the surface of the limit rod, so as to adjust the height of the outer shell to adapt to different ridge heights and adjust the harvesting depth to avoid damaging potatoes or incomplete harvesting. While the slider slides on the surface of the limit rod, it also slides inside the wheel frame to further limit the position and ensure smooth lifting and lowering. The setting of the second spring can provide a buffer for lifting and lowering to avoid collision between the outer shell and the internal structure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

While walking, the harvesting shovel 31 continuously scoops up potatoes and soil, and drops them along the harvesting shovel 31 to the conveying component 33. The vibration structure of the conveying component 33 drives the conveying component 33 to vibrate, and drives the potatoes and soil to vibrate. Large pieces of soil are broken by vibration, and the soil on the surface of the potatoes is also peeled off.

Under the action of vibration, it gradually gathers to the bottom of the potato, and the potato is lifted to the top, so that the soil and the soil, and the potato and the potato are constantly and slightly colliding with each other. The soil at the bottom is peeled off from each other, and the remaining soil on the surface of the potato is also peeled off, so that only clean potatoes are gradually left at the tail of the shell 1. The curved plate 339 is bent to obtain a larger gap to improve the screening effect. The curved plate 339 made of elastic material can act as a buffer when the potato just starts to roll to the tail of the shell 1 to prevent the potato from being bumped.

[0059] Example 2, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 10The vibration assembly 334 includes an impactor 3341, which is arranged at the interval between the driven roller 333 and the connecting tube 32. The two ends of the impactor 3341 are respectively fixedly connected to the side of the driven roller 333 and the connecting tube 32 close to each other, and the driven roller 333 is fixedly connected to the output end of the impactor 3341. A sliding groove 3342 is provided on the side of the housing 1 close to the driven roller 333. A sliding column 3343 is slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding groove 3342. A sliding rod 3344 is slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding column 3343. Both ends of the sliding rod 3344 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the sliding groove 3342. A first spring 3345 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 3344. The spring 3345 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding column 3343 close to the connecting tube 32, and the end of the first spring 3345 away from the sliding column 3343 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the sliding groove 3342. The impactor 3341 is started, and the output end of the impactor 3341 impacts the driven roller 333, thereby driving the conveyor belt 331 to vibrate. Under the action of the reaction force, the connecting tube 32 vibrates, driving the harvesting shovel 31 to vibrate, and the driven roller 333 vibrates, driving the sliding column 3343 to slide inside the sliding groove 3342. At the same time, the sliding column 3343 slides outside the sliding rod 3344, and the first spring 3345 is deformed, thereby providing a buffer to avoid excessive vibration of the outer shell 1 and loosening of parts.

[0060] The walking assembly 35 includes a roller 351, which is arranged in the middle of the shell 1. A wheel frame 352 is arranged on one side of the roller 351 close to the top of the shell 1. The inner side of the wheel frame 352 is rotatably connected to the roller 351 through a rotating rod. A slider 353 is fixedly connected to one side of the shell 1 close to the wheel frame 352. The slider 353 is slidably connected to the wheel frame 352 on the side away from the shell 1. The inner side of the slider 353 is slidably connected to a limiting rod 354. An end of the limiting rod 354 away from the slider 353 is fixedly connected to an arc plate 355. The arc plate 355 is fixedly connected to the side of the wheel frame 352 close to the shell 1. A slide plate 356 is slidably connected to the surface of the limiting rod 354. The slide plate 356 is fixedly connected to the side of the wheel frame 352 close to the shell 1. The outer sleeve of 54 is provided with a second spring 357, and the two ends of the second spring 357 are respectively fixedly connected to the side of the slide plate 356 and the slider 353 that are close to each other. The outer shell 1 moves, driving the roller 351 to roll, thereby assisting the device to walk. After the roller 351 contacts the ground, the harvesting shovel 31 also contacts the ground. At the same time, the outer shell 1 descends, and the slider 353 slides on the surface of the limiting rod 354, so as to adjust the height of the outer shell 1 to adapt to different ridge heights and adjust the harvesting depth to avoid shoveling potatoes or incomplete harvesting. While the slider 353 slides on the surface of the limiting rod 354, it also slides inside the wheel frame 352 to further limit the position and ensure smooth lifting and lowering. The setting of the second spring 357 can provide a buffer for lifting and lowering to avoid collision between the outer shell 1 and the internal structure.

[0061] An application of a potato harvester with a soil removal structure comprises the following steps:

[0062] Step 1: Preparation for harvesting: hang the harvester on a power source such as a tractor through the traction frame 2, move the housing 1, drive the roller 351 to roll, and the auxiliary device to move. After the roller 351 touches the ground, the harvesting shovel 31 also touches the ground. At the same time, the housing 1 drops, and the slider 353 slides on the surface of the limit rod 354 to adjust the height of the housing 1 to adapt to different ridge heights and adjust the harvesting depth.

[0063] Step 2: Potatoes are scooped up. The harvesting shovel 31 moves with the housing 1. At the same time, the housing 1 also drives the two saw blades 37 to move. The harvesting shovel 31 is inserted into the ground. The harvesting shovel 31 continuously scoops up potatoes and soil, and drops them along the harvesting shovel 31 onto the conveying assembly 33. When the saw blades 37 move, the soil between the ridges and the plant roots can be cut off.

[0064] Step 3: potato conveying. Start the motor 34. The output end of the motor 34 drives the active roller 332 to rotate. The conveyor belt 331 slides on the surface of the driven roller 333. The peeled and fine soil falls through the sieve hole 337 and finally leaves the shell 1. The conveyor belt 331 conveys the potatoes and some large pieces of compacted soil to the top of the discharge plate 338. The potatoes and the compacted soil slide along the discharge plate 338 to the tail of the shell 1. The smaller compacted soil passes through the gap between the curved plates 339.

[0065] Step 4: Vibration screening. Start the impactor 3341. The output end of the impactor 3341 impacts the driven roller 333, thereby driving the conveyor belt 331 to vibrate, and continuously screening the potatoes and soil blocks transported on the top of the conveyor belt 331. Under the action of the reaction force, the connecting tube 32 vibrates, driving the harvesting shovel 31 to vibrate. After the harvesting shovel 31 is embedded in the ground, the soil is quickly pulled up, and the driven roller 333 vibrates, driving the sliding column 3343 to slide inside the sliding groove 3342. At the same time, the sliding column 3343 slides outside the sliding rod 3344, and the first spring 3345 is deformed to perform buffering.

[0066] Step 5: Screening out the remaining soil. Driven by the conveyor belt 331, the unloading plate 338 drives the potatoes and the compacted soil to vibrate. The compacted soil has a higher density, a larger mass, and a larger inertia. Under the action of vibration, it gradually gathers to the bottom of the potatoes, while the potatoes are lifted to the top, so that the soil and the soil, and the potatoes and the potatoes constantly collide with each other in small amounts, the soil at the bottom is peeled off from each other, and the remaining soil on the surface of the potatoes is also peeled off, so that gradually only clean potatoes are left at the tail of the shell 1.
