In recent years, the cultivation industry of Agaricus bisporus has been developing rapidly. However, after picking, the roots of Agaricus bisporus usually remain with mushroom roots and some soil. The main treatment method is manual cutting. After the workers cut the roots of Agaricus bisporus, they are placed in a collection basket. However, since the production workshop of Agaricus bisporus is usually in a humid and cold environment, the working environment is poor, the labor intensity of the operation is large, and there is a problem that the root-cutting length is inconsistent due to manual operation, which directly affects the appearance quality and commercial value of Agaricus bisporus.

[0003] At present, although relevant research on the automatic picking of Agaricus bisporus has been carried out at home and abroad, there are still a series of practical problems such as low picking efficiency, high cost and low root-cutting efficiency. In addition, the existing technology cannot carry out root-cutting immediately after picking, resulting in a waste of time.

[0004] To solve the problems of picking and root treatment of Agaricus bisporus, a device that can automatically pick and cut roots is needed.

[0029] The arc-shaped track (13) can be symmetrically installed on the limiting plane of the mounting seat through an arc-shaped groove, a lower positioning plate (17), a track pressing plate (14), and fasteners, and the pitch circle radius of the arc-shaped internal gear rack (110) is equal to the sum of the length from the pitch circle of the arc-shaped internal gear rack (110) to the suction cup (111) and the average height of the double-spore mushroom. The axis of the suction cup (111) coincides with any radius of the pitch circle of the arc-shaped internal gear rack (110).
