This prevents the potatoes from overflowing from the material collecting box and facilitates the measurement and collection of the potatoes. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong to the scope of protection of the present application.
[0039] Embodiment 1: a kind of agricultural product harvesting device with sorting function, as shown in Figures 1-3 shown, including car body 1, feeding belt 101, receiving plate 102, side plate 103, sorting box 104, guide rod 105, sorting shaft 106, sorting rod 107 and guide plate 109, the front side of car body 1 is fixedly connected with receiving plate 102, receiving plate 102 is used to shovel potato on the field ridge in the process of moving car body 1, car body 1 is fixedly connected with two side plates 103 which are symmetrical left and right, the front side of the two side plates 103 is distributed in the shape of eight characters, so as to gather the potato on the field ridge to the front side of receiving plate 102, the feeding belt 101 is installed on the two side plates 103, the feeding belt 101 is prior art, a plurality of straight rods are arranged in an annular array on the feeding belt 101, and the plurality of straight rods are equally spaced, so that soil falls from the gap between the straight rods, the feeding belt 101 is arranged in an inclined manner with the front low and the back high, the sorting box 104 is fixedly connected to the car body 1, the sorting box 104 is located at the rear side of the feeding belt 101, the potato will be transported upwards by the feeding belt 101 into the sorting box 104, two groups of guide rods 105 are symmetrically arranged in the sorting box 104, each group of guide rods 105 has 9, the 9 guide rods 105 in each group are equally spaced in the front-rear direction, the adjacent ends of the two groups of guide rods 105 are inclined downward, and the top ends of the guide rods 105 are curved surfaces, so as to facilitate the flow of potato, the sorting shaft 106 is rotatably connected in the sorting box 104, the sorting shaft 106 is located below the guide rod 105, 9 sorting rods 107 are fixedly connected to the sorting shaft 106 in the front-rear direction, the sorting rod 107 is J-shaped, the sorting rod 107 is used to drag the potato stems mixed in the potato downwards the guide rod 105, so as to separate the potato and the potato stems, the guide plate 109 is fixedly connected to the sorting box 104, the guide plate 109 is used to guide the potato falling into the sorting box 104, so that the potato can fall to the side away from the two groups of sorting rods 107, so as to flow the potato to the direction close to the sorting rod 107.
[0040] When it's time to harvest potatoes, the vines are first killed using a vine-killing machine. Then, the vehicle 1 moves along the potato planting ridges. The receiving plate 102 scoops up the potatoes from the ridges, along with the soil and vines. As the vehicle 1 moves forward, the potatoes, soil, and vines flow onto the feeding belt 101, which transports them upwards. The soil scooped up by the receiving plate 102 falls downwards through the feeding belt 101. When the potatoes and vines are at the top, they fall onto the guide bar 105, which guides the potatoes and vines. The sorting shaft 106 allows potatoes and vines to fall onto the opposite sides of the two sorting rods 107, preventing potatoes from falling downwards through the gap between the guide rods 105. Because the guide rods 105 are inclined, the potatoes and vines flow between them. When some vines land on the guide rods 105, their length direction is aligned with the length direction of the guide rods 105, roughly meaning they are parallel to the guide rods 105. These vines will fall downwards through the gap between the guide rods 105 during the flow. During potato harvesting, the sorting shaft 106 drives the sorting rods 107 to rotate. Figure 3 From the perspective of the sorting shaft 106 on the right, it rotates clockwise, while the sorting shaft 106 on the left rotates counterclockwise. This causes the sorting rod 107 to rotate in the opposite direction to the potato flow. The potatoes will pass through the sorting rod 107 during the flow. The potatoes can pass through the sorting rod 107 normally, but the potato vines are relatively long. Therefore, during the rotation of the sorting rod 107, the potato vines remaining on the guide rod 105 will be hooked. As the sorting rod 107 rotates under the guide rod 105, the sorting rod 107 will drive the potato vines to fall under the guide rod 105, thereby separating the potatoes from the potato vines, making it easier for workers to harvest the potatoes directly.
[0041] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a cutting rod 108 for cutting the potato vines. Each guide rod 105 has a cutting rod 108 fixed to its lower end. The cutting rods 108 are distributed along the length of the guide rod 105. The cutting rods 108 are T-shaped and the edges of the cutting rods 108 are ground. When the sorting rod 107 drags the potato vines under the guide rod 105, the ground edges of the cutting rods 108 will cut the potato vines to prevent longer potato vines from falling off the guide rod 105.
[0042] In the process of moving the potato seedling to the two guide rods 105 by the sorting rod 107, the potato seedling will be concave to the two guide rods 105, and when the potato seedling and the cutting rod 108 on the lower side of the guide rod 105 are in contact, the potato seedling will be cut off, so that the potato seedling with a longer length is cut into small pieces by the plurality of cutting rods 108, so that the potato seedling can directly pass through the guide rod 105 in the flow process and fall down, and the potato seedling with a longer length can be prevented from winding on the sorting rod 107 to affect the normal operation of the device.
[0043] As shown in Figure 6 , the inclination angles of the 9 sorting rods 107 on the same sorting shaft 106 gradually change, which prevents the potato seedling from being tightened when the plurality of sorting rods 107 simultaneously drag the same potato seedling, so that the potato seedling can be concave to the two guide rods 105 and contact the cutting rod 108. Figure 6 From the perspective of the view angle in , the angle of the right sorting rod 107 decreases by 3° in the clockwise direction, and the angle of the other sorting rod 107 increases by 3° in the clockwise direction.
[0044] If the inclination angles of the sorting rods 107 on the same sorting shaft 106 are consistent, when the potato seedling is horizontal on the guide rod 105, the potato seedling will be dragged downward by the plurality of sorting rods 107 at the same time, at this time the potato seedling can be tightened, which makes it difficult for the potato seedling to be concave to the two guide rods 105 and contact the cutting rod 108, thereby making it difficult for the potato seedling to be cut off smoothly, affecting the smoothness of the operation of the device, so that the inclination angles of the 9 sorting rods 107 on the same sorting shaft 106 gradually change, and the sorting rod 107 can alternately drag the same potato seedling downward, so as to prevent the potato seedling from being tightened and difficult to be concave to the two guide rods 105, thereby improving the smoothness of the operation of the device.
[0045] Example 2: on the basis of example 1, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, the potato sorting device also includes a screening mechanism for classifying potatoes according to particle size, which is located on the upper side of the guide rod 105. The screening mechanism includes side supports 2, a screening box 201, a screening plate 202, a guide frame 203, and a lifting assembly. Two side supports 2 are fixedly connected to the vehicle body 1 and located on the front and rear sides of the sorting box 104. The two side supports 2 are jointly fixedly connected with the screening box 201. The screening plate 202 is fixedly connected to the screening box 201 and has holes for screening potatoes. The screening plate 202 is inclined. The guide frame 203 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the screening box 201. Potatoes that fall downward through the screening plate 202 will fall into the guide frame 203. The guide frame 203 is also inclined, but the inclination direction of the guide frame 203 is opposite to that of the screening plate 202. This allows large-diameter potatoes to fall to one side of the vehicle body 1 through the screening box 201 and the screening plate 202, and small-diameter potatoes to fall to the other side of the vehicle body 1 through the guide frame 203. The lifting assembly is installed on the sorting box 104 and used to upwardly transport the potatoes on the guide rod 105 into the screening box 201.
[0046] After the potatoes pass through the sorting rod 107, they will continue to flow to the adjacent end of the two guide rods 105. The lifting assembly will upwardly lift and transport the potatoes into the screening box 201, and the potatoes will fall on the screening plate 202. Large-diameter potatoes will roll along the screening plate 202 and be discharged downward through the downward opening of the screening box 201. Small-diameter potatoes will fall downward through the screening plate 202 into the guide frame 203 and roll to the other side along the guide frame 203.
[0047] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the lifting assembly includes a middle support 3, a lifting cylinder 301, and a spiral blade 302. The middle support 3 is fixedly connected to the sorting box 104. The lifting cylinder 301 is fixedly connected to the middle support 3 and has its upper side fixedly connected with the screening box 201 and the guide frame 203. The spiral blade 302 is rotatably connected in the lifting cylinder 301. During rotation, the spiral blade 302 will upwardly transport the potatoes on the guide rod 105. An opening is formed in the upper side of the lifting cylinder 301 and communicates with the screening box 201.
[0048] During rotation, the spiral blade 302 will upwardly transport the potatoes on the guide rod 105. When the potatoes are transported to the upper side of the lifting cylinder 301, they will enter the screening box 201 through the opening in the upper side of the lifting cylinder 301. The working principle of the lifting assembly can also refer to the existing spiral conveyor.

[0053] As shown in Figures 2-4 , the device further comprises a turnover assembly for driving the sorting shafts 106 to rotate, the turnover assembly is connected with the lifting plates 502, and the turnover assembly comprises the turnover gears 6, the turnover struts 601 and the turnover racks 602, the turnover gears 6 are rotatably connected to the sorting shafts 106 through one-way bearings, the turnover gears 6 can only drive the sorting shafts 106 to rotate in one direction through the one-way bearings, the turnover struts 601 are fixedly connected to the lifting plates 502, the turnover struts 601 pass out of the front side wall of the sorting box 104, and the front side wall of the sorting box 104 is provided with through holes for facilitating the lifting of the turnover struts 601, the turnover racks 602 are fixedly connected to the turnover struts 601, and the turnover gears 6 and the turnover racks 602 are engaged.

[0057] In the embodiment 2, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the potato sorting device further comprises a driving mechanism for driving the spiral blade 302 to rotate, the driving mechanism is connected with the spiral blade 302, and the driving mechanism comprises a rear support frame 8, an input shaft 801, a shaft sleeve 802, a driving shaft 803, a driving gear 804 and a driven gear 805. The rear support frame 8 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the side support 2, the input shaft 801 is rotatably connected to the rear support frame 8, the input shaft 801 is used for connecting an external driving source such as a diesel engine, a gasoline engine, an electric motor and the like, the shaft sleeve 802 is axially and slidably connected to the input shaft 801, the driving shaft 803 is rotatably connected to the rear support frame 8, the driving shaft 803 is splinedly connected with the shaft sleeve 802, the driving gear 804 is fixedly connected to the driving shaft 803, the driven gear 805 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the spiral blade 302, and the driving gear 804 is engaged with the driven gear 805.
[0058] The input shaft 801 is rotated by an external driving source, and the input shaft 801 drives the driving gear 804 to rotate through the shaft sleeve 802 and the driving shaft 803, and the driving gear 804 drives the spiral blade 302 to rotate through the driven gear 805.
[0059] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 10 , it also includes a control mechanism for automatically controlling the disconnection of the shaft sleeve 802 and the driving shaft 803, the control mechanism is connected with the shaft sleeve 802, and the control mechanism includes a receiving box 9, a bearing plate 901, a bearing assembly and a transmission assembly. Two receiving boxes 9 are symmetrically and slidingly connected on the sorting box 104, and the receiving boxes 9 slide in the vertical direction. The two receiving boxes 9 are located on the left and right sides of the sorting box 104, and one of the receiving boxes 9 is used to receive large-diameter potatoes flowing out of the screening box 201, and the other receiving box 9 is used to receive small-diameter potatoes flowing out of the flow guide frame 203. The lower end of the receiving box 9 is fixedly connected with the bearing plate 901, and a rounded corner is formed on one end of the bearing plate 901 close to the sorting box 104. The sorting box 104 is connected with the bearing assembly and the transmission assembly, and the sorting box 104 supports the receiving box 9 through the bearing assembly. When the weight of the potatoes in the receiving box 9 reaches a certain value, the bearing assembly will cancel the support of the receiving box 9, so that the receiving box 9 moves downward to drive the transmission assembly, and the transmission assembly drives the shaft sleeve 802 to move away from the driving shaft 803 to disconnect.
[0060] For example, in the view of Figure 8 , the large-diameter potatoes will fall from the screening box 201 into the left receiving box 9, and the small-diameter potatoes will fall from the flow guide frame 203 into the right receiving box 9. When the weight of the potatoes in the receiving box 9 reaches a certain value, the bearing assembly will cancel the support of the receiving box 9, so that the receiving box 9 can slide downward along the slide on the sorting box 104 by a distance. When the receiving box 9 slides downward, it will drive the shaft sleeve 802 to move away from the driving shaft 803 through the transmission assembly, the shaft sleeve 802 will be out of contact with the driving shaft 803, and the driving spring 806 will be compressed, so that the spiral blade 302 will no longer rotate. At this time, the stop device stops moving and takes out the potatoes in the receiving box 9, which can not only prevent the potatoes from overflowing from the receiving box 9, but also facilitate the measurement and collection of the potatoes.
[0061] As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 10As shown, the load-bearing assembly includes a lower support plate 807, a load-bearing spring 808, an upper support plate 809, a material control plate 902 and a material control spring 903. Two lower support plates 807 are symmetrically and slidably connected to the sorting box 104 and slide in the horizontal direction. The lower support plates 807 are located below the load-bearing plates 901 on the same side. The load-bearing spring 808 is sleeved on the guide rod of the lower support plate 807. When the lower support plate 807 slides into the sorting box 104, the load-bearing spring 808 is compressed. The material control plate 902 is slidably connected to the load-bearing plate 901 in the vertical direction and is located in the material collecting box 9. The material control spring 903 is slidably connected to the guide rod of the material control plate 902. When the material control plate 902 slides downward, the material control spring 903 is compressed. Two upper support plates 809 are symmetrically and slidably connected to the sorting box 104 and slide in the horizontal direction. The upper support plates 809 on the same side are fixedly connected to the lower support plates 807. The upper support plates 809 extend between the material control plate 902 and the load-bearing plate 901. The main bodies of the lower support plates 807 and the upper support plates 809 are right trapezoidal, but some corners of the lower support plates 807 and the upper support plates 809 are rounded. When the material control plate 902 moves downward, it presses the upper support plates 809, so that the upper support plates 809 drive the lower support plates 807 to move away from below the load-bearing plate 901.
[0062] The potatoes entering the material collecting box 9 fall on the material control plate 902. The material control spring 903 supports the material control plate 902. As the weight of the potatoes increases, the material control plate 902 gradually moves downward to approach the load-bearing plate 901. The material control spring 903 is compressed, and the material control plate 902 presses the upper support plates 809 into the sorting box 104. The upper support plates 809 drive the lower support plates 807 to move synchronously, and the load-bearing spring 808 is also compressed. When the potatoes reach a certain weight, the load-bearing plate 901 contacts the inclined surface on the lower support plate 807, and the material collecting box 9 and the load-bearing plate 901 move downward, thereby triggering the transmission assembly. The certain weight refers to the weight that can overcome the elastic force of the material control spring 903 and drive the material control plate 902 to press the upper support plates 809. When the weight of the potatoes decreases, the material control spring 903 pushes the material control plate 902 to reset upward. The load-bearing spring 808 pushes the upper support plates 809 and the lower support plates 807 to slide out of the sorting box 104, and the lower support plates 807 lift the load-bearing plate 901 and the material collecting box 9 upward.
[0063] As Figures 8-10As shown, the transmission assembly includes a drive spring 806, a control rod 904, a return spring 905, a pull rope 906, a guide wheel 907 and a control sleeve 908. The drive spring 806 is sleeved on the input shaft 801 and used to push the shaft sleeve 802 close to the drive shaft 803. The control rod 904 is slidably connected to the rear side of the sorting box 104 in the vertical direction. The return spring 905 is sleeved on the guide rod of the control rod 904. The control rod 904 is compressed when it slides downward. The two ends of the control rod 904 extend to the lower side of the bearing plate 901 on the same side. The control sleeve 908 is rotatably connected to the shaft sleeve 802 and cannot relatively move in the axial direction of the shaft sleeve 802. The pull rope 906 is connected between the control sleeve 908 and the control rod 904. The guide wheel 907 is rotatably connected to the rear support frame 8. The pull rope 906 passes the guide wheel 907 from the upper side.
[0064] When the sorting box 104 and the bearing plate 901 move downward, the control rod 904 is pressed downward. The control rod 904 compresses the return spring 905. The control rod 904 drives the control sleeve 908 away from the drive shaft 803 through the pull rope 906. The drive spring 806 is also compressed, so that the power is no longer transmitted to the drive shaft 803. When the collecting box 9 and the bearing plate 901 reset upward, the return spring 905 also pushes the control rod 904 to reset upward. The drive spring 806 pushes the shaft sleeve 802 close to the drive shaft 803, so that the drive shaft 803 can be inserted into the shaft sleeve 802 for power transmission, so as to continue to collect potatoes.
[0065] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 8 It also includes a transmission shaft 10, a transmission gear 11 and an outer pulley set 12 for driving the feeding belt 101. The transmission shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the screening box 201. The transmission gear 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission shaft 10. The transmission gear 11 is engaged with the driven gear 805. The other end of the transmission shaft 10 is drivingly connected to one of the rotating shafts of the feeding belt 101 through the outer pulley set 12. The outer pulley set 12 is composed of two single-groove pulleys and a transmission belt. One of the single-groove pulleys is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft 10. The other single-groove pulley is fixedly connected to one of the rotating shafts of the feeding belt 101.
[0066] When the driven gear 805 rotates, it drives the feeding belt 101 to rotate through the transmission gear 11, the transmission shaft 10 and the outer pulley set 12, so as to convey the potatoes into the sorting box 104 through the feeding belt 101.
[0067] The above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. Any equivalent changes made according to the content described in the claims of the present application shall be included in the scope of the claims of the present application.
