[0023] It also includes a rice grain supporting and gathering device 1, a rice grain pulling and feeding device 4, an adaptive digging and soil shaking device 5, a flexible clamping and extracting device 11, a soil clearing and weeding device 10, and a stem cutting and directional seedling throwing device 12 installed on the chassis frame 3.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the grain-grass-gathering device 1 includes two lower support plates 103 of the grain-grass-gathering device arranged side by side on the left and right. The lower support plates 103 of the grain-grass-gathering device are connected to the adaptive excavation and soil-shaking device 5 through a support frame 106 of the grain-grass-gathering device to fix the lower support plates 103 of the grain-grass-gathering device. The lower support plates 103 of the grain-grass-gathering device are long and vertically arranged, and the upper ends are tilted backward at a certain angle.

[0026] The upper end of the lower support plate 103 of the grain-raising and gathering device is axially connected to a driving sprocket Ⅰ101, and the lower end is axially connected to a driven sprocket Ⅰ107. A grain-raising chain 105 passes between the driving sprocket Ⅰ101 and the driven sprocket Ⅰ107, so that a circulating grain-raising chain 105 is provided on the lower support plate 103 of the grain-raising and gathering device. The sides of the two grain-raising chains 105 that are close to each other move upward and the distance between them gradually decreases. A plurality of grain-raising fingers 104 are fixedly connected to the grain-raising chain 105, and the grain-raising fingers 104 are evenly distributed along the outer side of the grain-raising chain 105.

[0027] The rice grain raising and gathering device 1 is installed in front of the reducer 2 at a certain inclination angle. The reducer 2 drives the active sprocket Ⅰ101 to rotate, and then drives the driven sprocket Ⅰ107 and the rice grain raising chain 105 to rotate, so that the rice grain raising fingers 104 can raise the disorderly and fallen ginger plants in an orderly manner and gather them to the rice grain raising and feeding device 4, thereby reducing the leakage rate.

[0029] A circulating feeding chain 401 is provided on the lower support plate 407 of the reed feeding device. Specifically, the front end of the lower support plate 407 of the reed feeding device is axially connected to a driven sprocket II 403, and the rear end is axially connected to a driving sprocket II 406. The feeding chain 401 passes around the driven sprocket II 403 and the driving sprocket II 406. A plurality of evenly distributed feeding fingers 402 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the feeding chain 401. The side of the two feeding chains 401 that are close to each other moves backward and upward, and the distance between them gradually decreases.

[0030] The straw-pulling and feeding device 4 is installed in front of the flexible clamping and extracting device 11, and power is transmitted to the driving sprocket II406 of the straw-pulling and feeding device 4 through the driven wheel III1101 and the connecting shaft 405 of the flexible clamping and extracting device 11, thereby driving the driven sprocket IIⅠ403 and the feeding chain 401 to rotate, so that the feeding finger 402 feeds the ginger plants gathered by the straw-pulling into the feeding entrance of the flexible clamping and extracting device 11 in an orderly manner, thereby increasing the thrust on the ginger plants and improving the feeding accuracy and feeding rate.

[0031] The adaptive digging and shaking device 5 is located below the reed-pulling and feeding device 4, and digs the ginger while the ginger plants are being pulled and fed; it includes an adaptive digging and shaking device support plate 508 fixedly connected to the chassis frame 3 and a three-step arc-shaped digging shovel 510 fixedly connected to the lower end of the adaptive digging and shaking device support plate 508. Two adaptive digging and shaking device support plates 508 are provided and arranged on the left and right sides. The left and right ends of the three-step arc-shaped digging shovel 510 are respectively fixedly connected to the lower ends of the two adaptive digging and shaking device support plates 508 by bolts. The three-step arc-shaped digging shovel 510 is arc-shaped in the left-right direction and the heights of the two ends are higher than the height in the middle, so that the middle position bulges downward, and the front and rear ends of the three-step arc-shaped digging shovel 510 are both inclined downward to achieve effective digging and release of soil. The digging shovel is set in a three-step arc shape, which is conducive to reducing resistance, better breaking up soil ridges and preventing soil accumulation, and reducing damage to ginger.

[0032] A plurality of fixed soil screening bars 509 are also arranged behind the three-stage arc-shaped digging shovel 510. The fixed soil screening bars 509 are long strips extending forward and backward and a plurality of fixed soil screening bars 509 are arranged left and right. A vibrating soil screening bar device 503 is installed behind the fixed soil screening bars 509.

[0033] like Figure 5As shown, the vibrating screen soil grid device 503 includes a soil screening grid 513 hinged to the rear end of the three-step arc-shaped digging shovel 510 and a soil screening swing mechanism for driving the rear end of the soil screening grid 513 to swing up and down.

[0034] The soil screening swing mechanism includes a hydraulic motor 511 fixedly connected to the support plate 508 of the adaptive excavation and soil shaking device. The rotating shaft of the hydraulic motor 511 is connected to the upper end of the rocker arm 515 through an eccentric bearing 514, and the lower end of the rocker arm 515 is hinged to the soil screening bar 513.

[0035] The soil is crushed in the first step by using the fixed soil screening bars 509 to reduce the soil attached to the ginger and reduce the resistance to ginger extraction. Then, the hydraulic motor 511 fixed on the welding plate 512 is connected to the eccentric bearing 514 and drives the rocker arm 515 to make the soil screening bars 513 vibrate up and down, thereby performing the second step of vibration crushing on the soil to improve the excavation and extraction effect of the ginger.

[0036] The adaptive excavation and soil-shaking device 5 also includes an adaptive depth-limiting wheel device 501, which includes a depth-limiting wheel fixing frame 507 fixed to the front end of the adaptive excavation and soil-shaking device support plate 508, a depth-limiting wheel adjustment plate 506 hinged to the front end of the depth-limiting wheel fixing frame 507, and a hydraulic rod 505 driving the depth-limiting wheel adjustment plate 506 to swing up and down. The front end of the hydraulic rod 505 is hinged to the depth-limiting wheel adjustment plate 506, and the rear end is hinged to the depth-limiting wheel fixing frame 507, so that the depth-limiting wheel adjustment plate 506 is driven to swing up and down through the extension and retraction of the hydraulic rod 505, and the lower end of the depth-limiting wheel adjustment plate 506 is equipped with a depth-limiting wheel 504. The excavation depth is adjusted by the adaptive depth-limiting wheel device 501.

[0037] The wheel frame of the depth-limiting wheel 504 is fixed to the long holes extending left and right of the depth-limiting wheel adjustment plate 506 by bolts. The left and right wheelbases of the depth-limiting wheels can be adjusted according to the ridge width through the long holes of the depth-limiting wheel adjustment plate 506. The height of the depth-limiting wheel is adaptively adjusted by the hydraulic rod 505, so that the digging depth of the three-stage arc-shaped digging shovel 510 is adjustable, thereby improving the adaptability of the ginger harvester.

[0038] The flexible clamping and extracting device 11 is located behind the feeding device 4. Fig.11 As shown, the flexible clamping and extracting device 11 includes two flexible clamping and extracting device lower support plates 1106 arranged side by side on the left and right. The flexible clamping and extracting device lower support plate 1106 is a long strip extending forward and backward. The flexible clamping and extracting device lower support plate 1106 is provided with a circulating clamping and extracting chain 1102. Specifically, the front end shaft of the support plate 1106 is connected to a driven sprocket III 1101, and the rear end shaft is connected to a driving sprocket III 1105. The clamping and extracting chain 1102 bypasses the driven sprocket III 1101 and the driving sprocket III 1105, and the two clamping and extracting chains 1102 are close to each other and fit together and move backward and upward.

[0039] The flexible clamping and extracting device 11 is located below the chassis frame 3. The gearbox 7 drives the active sprocket III 1105 of the flexible clamping and extracting device 11, which in turn drives the driven sprocket III 1101 and the clamping and extracting chain 1102 to rotate, clamping and conveying the ginger plants fed by the weeding feeding device 4 backwards, and then extracting the ginger bulbs from the soil.

[0040] A floating support frame mechanism is installed on the lower support plate 1106 of the flexible clamping and extracting device, and the floating support frame mechanism includes a floating support plate 1109 fixedly connected to the lower support plate 1106 of the flexible clamping and extracting device and a support frame 1103 located between the floating support plate 1109 and the clamping and extracting chain 1102, and a compression spring 1108 is installed between the support frame 1103 and the floating support plate 1109. The compression springs 1108 on both sides push the support frame 1103 to press against the inner side of the clamping and extracting chain 1102, thereby increasing the clamping force between the two clamping and extracting chains 1102, and providing a variable clamping force for chain clamping through the floating support mechanism, reducing the stem breakage rate and further improving the extraction effect.

[0041] The soil cleaning and impurity removal device 10 is located below the flexible clamping and extracting device 11 and is used to remove the soil covering the ginger. Fig.12 As shown, the soil cleaning and debris removing device 10 includes two soil cleaning support frames 1005 which are respectively hinged under the lower support plates 1106 of the two flexible clamping and extracting devices. The upper ends of the soil cleaning support frames 1005 are hinged under the lower support plates 1106 of the flexible clamping and conveying devices through hinge joints 1004, so that the two soil cleaning support frames 1005 can swing left and right. The soil cleaning support frames 1005 are equipped with debris removing brushes 1006 and a driving motor 1001 for driving the debris removing brushes 1006 to rotate. The debris removing brushes 1006 are installed on a roller shaft 1010, and the roller shaft 1010 is connected to the driving motor 1001 through a coupling 1003 and a motor reducer 1002.

[0042] A fixed welding plate 1007 is fixedly connected to the lower support plate 1106 of the flexible clamping and extracting device, and a floating rod 1009 passing through the fixed welding plate 1007 is fixedly connected to the soil cleaning support frame 1005. The diameter of the floating rod 1009 is smaller than the diameter of the through hole, so that the floating rod 1009 will not interfere with the through hole when the soil cleaning support frame 1005 swings.

[0043] The fixed welding plate 1007 is provided with a floating spring 1008, and the floating spring 1008 pushes the two soil cleaning support frames 1005 to swing inward. A nut is provided on the floating rod 1009, and the floating spring 1008 is sleeved on the floating rod 1009 and is located between the fixed welding plate 1007 and the nut. The floating rod 1009 is located on the outside of the soil cleaning support frame 1005, so when the floating spring 1008 presses down the floating rod 1009, it pushes the two soil cleaning support frames 1005 to swing inward. Soil cleaning and impurity removal are achieved by the floating spring 1008 and the floating rod 1009. The impurity removal brush 1006 is driven to rotate by the driving motor 1001 to remove the attached soil on the ginger bulb, reduce the damage to the ginger bulb, and realize floating impurity cleaning according to the size of the ginger bulb, further improving the soil cleaning and impurity removal effect.

The seedling throwing chain 1206 bypasses the driving sprocket IV 1201 and the driven sprocket IV 1204. The two seedling throwing chains 1206 are close to each other and move backward.

[0046] Since the stem-cutting and directional seedling-throwing device 12 is installed behind the flexible clamping and pulling device 11, the driving wheel III1105 of the flexible clamping and pulling device 11 drives the driving sprocket IV1201 of the stem-cutting and directional seedling-throwing device to rotate through the universal joint 1210, and the universal joint 1210 and the driving sprocket IV1201 of the stem-cutting and directional seedling-throwing device are connected through the rotating shaft 1211.

[0047] A rotating disc knife 1208 is mounted on the lower support plate 1207 of any stem cutting directional seedling throwing device.

A stem cutting gear 1202 is fixedly connected to the stem cutting knife shaft 1205. The stem cutting gear 1202 is meshed with the driving sprocket IV 1201, and the meshing can be achieved by a gear fixedly connected to the driving sprocket IV 1201. Thus, the disc knife 1208 is driven to rotate by the driving sprocket IV 1201. The disc knife 1208 shears the stems, and the sheared ginger seedlings continue to be transported backwards.

[0048] Since the present application is hand-held, the operator is located directly behind the stem cutting and directional seedling throwing device 12. If the cut ginger seedlings are directly transported backwards, they will be thrown onto the operator. Therefore, it is best to transport them to one side, and transport them to the left or right side, depending on the on-site conditions, and transport the ginger seedlings to the open space side.

[0049] Therefore, the rear end of the lower support plate 1207 of the stem-cutting directional seedling throwing device in this embodiment is fixed to the directional seedling throwing frame 1209, and the directional seedling throwing frame 1209 is adjusted left and right on the arc-shaped guide groove and fastened by nuts, so that the left and right position adjustment of the entire stem-cutting directional seedling throwing device 12 can be achieved. In order to ensure that the power input is maintained during the left and right position adjustment, multiple universal joints 1210 can be provided. The directional seedling throwing frame 1209 can adjust the stem-cutting directional seedling throwing device 12 left and right, and the ginger seedlings are thrown in a predetermined direction.

[0050] An upper support plate 1203 is also fixedly connected to the directional seedling throwing frame 1209 and covers the seedling throwing chain 1206 .

[0051] Method of use of the present invention: The harvester transmits power to the gearbox assembly and the reduction box assembly through the engine assembly, thereby driving other working devices to operate.

[0052] During operation, the rice-supporting and gathering device lifts up and gathers the ginger plants, allowing them to enter the rice-pulling and feeding device. The adaptive digging and shaking soil device digs the ginger and vibrates to shake the soil and remove debris. At the same time, it is automatically fed into the flexible clamping and pulling device under the action of the pulling fingers. The feeding adaptability is stronger and more accurate, which reduces the leakage rate. The flexible clamping and pulling device pulls and transports the ginger diagonally upward. During the transportation process, the floating flexible soil cleaning and debris removal device flexibly removes the soil carried by the ginger bulbs. When the ginger stems are clamped by the flexible clamping and pulling device and the seedling throwing device at the same time, the stem cutting and directional seedling throwing device shears the stems, and the ginger bulbs fall down in an orderly manner, and the ginger seedlings continue to be transported backwards and thrown to one side. This harvester can be applied to different operating conditions and meet different agronomic requirements for ginger harvesting. It has low damage and breakage rates, high mechanization and automation levels, good operating effects, and meets the requirements for ginger harvesting.
