Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of agricultural machinery, in particular to a garlic harvester with a conveying mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Garlic, a widely cultivated cash crop, has long faced challenges with labor intensity and low efficiency during harvesting. Traditional garlic harvesting relies primarily on manual digging, picking, and cleaning, a labor-intensive process that is limited by speed and inefficient for large-scale cultivation. While some existing garlic harvesters can achieve mechanized excavation, significant deficiencies exist in the subsequent conveying and soil removal stages. Most harvesters utilize a fixed conveying mechanism. When the excavating components adjust to the terrain or operational needs, garlic can easily fall and fail to land properly within the conveying mechanism, resulting in high harvest losses and the need for manual assistance. Furthermore, existing equipment lacks soil removal capabilities, and harvested garlic often carries a significant amount of soil, requiring additional manual cleaning steps, increasing labor costs and time. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the defects in the prior art, the present invention provides a garlic harvester with a conveying mechanism.

[0004] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A garlic harvester with a conveying mechanism includes a harvester body and is characterized in that a mounting frame is hingedly connected to the front end of the harvester body, and a first conveyor belt is mounted on the mounting frame; a second conveyor belt is provided on one side of the harvester body, the second conveyor belt is located at the discharge end of the first conveyor belt, and a soil removal mechanism is provided at the discharge end of the second conveyor belt.

[0005] Preferably, a support seat is provided at the front end of the harvester body, and a hydraulic rod is provided between the mounting frame and the support seat.

[0006] Preferably, the first conveyor belt is installed on the mounting frame through a connecting frame.

[0007] Preferably, a guide groove is provided at the discharge end of the first conveyor belt.

[0008] Preferably, the guide trough is installed on the connecting frame of the first conveyor belt.

[0009] Preferably, the soil removing mechanism includes a shell and a soil beating roller. The shell is installed at the discharge end of the second conveyor belt. The soil beating rollers are arranged in the shell. A soil dropping plate is inclined at the bottom of the shell, and an outlet is provided at the lower end of the soil dropping plate.

[0010] Preferably, the second conveyor belt is an inclined conveyor belt, and a material baffle is provided on the inclined conveyor belt.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: after being harvested, the garlic falls onto the first conveyor belt, and then falls from the first conveyor belt to the second conveyor belt, and finally the garlic is obtained after passing through the soil removal mechanism, thereby reducing manual labor; the present invention installs the first conveyor belt on the mounting frame, so that the first conveyor belt can move with the garlic harvesting mechanism on the mounting frame, thereby avoiding the problem that the garlic cannot fall onto the first conveyor belt due to a fixed installation.

[0017] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more readily apparent, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth numerous specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0018] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being “fixed to” another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is referred to as being “connected to” another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element.

[0019] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element or feature shown in the figures relative to another element or feature. It should be understood that the spatial terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation shown in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is inverted, an element described as being "below" another element or feature would be positioned "above" the other element or feature. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both above and below orientations.

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used in this specification of the present invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0021] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings: This embodiment provides a garlic harvester with a conveying mechanism, including a harvester body 1. A mounting frame 2 is hingedly connected to the front end of the harvester body 1. A garlic harvesting mechanism is mounted on the mounting frame 2 to harvest garlic. The mounting frame 2 is connected to a support base via a hydraulic rod 8. The inclination angle of the mounting frame 2 can be adjusted by extending and retracting the hydraulic rod 8. A harvesting mechanism such as a garlic digging shovel is integrated on the mounting frame 2.

[0022] A first conveyor belt 3 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 2 via a connecting frame. The conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 3 is perpendicular to the forward direction of the harvester, and garlic harvested by the garlic harvesting mechanism can fall onto the first conveyor belt 3. A guide trough is fixed to the connecting frame of the first conveyor belt 3. The guide trough has a trumpet-shaped structure, and its feed end is connected to the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 3 to ensure that the garlic is smoothly discharged to the second conveyor belt.

[0023] A second conveyor belt is tilted to one side of the harvester body 1. Its input is located directly below the guide trough, and its output extends to the feed inlet of the soil removal mechanism. Baffles are evenly distributed on the surface of the second conveyor belt, perpendicular to the belt surface, effectively preventing the garlic from slipping during tilted conveying.

[0024] The soil removal mechanism comprises a rectangular housing 6, the top of which communicates with the discharge end of the second conveyor belt. Inside the housing 6, three soil-beating rollers 7 are arranged in parallel via bearing blocks. The roller shafts of these rollers extend outside the housing 6 and are connected to the drive motor via a chain. Adjacent rollers 7 rotate in opposite directions, and elastic soil-beating rods are distributed across their surfaces. A tilted soil-dropping plate is welded to the bottom of the housing 6, forming a 30° angle with the horizontal plane. A rectangular outlet is located at its lower end.

[0025] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: When the harvester moves forward, the digging shovel of the garlic harvesting mechanism on the mounting frame 2 digs the garlic out of the soil, and then the clean garlic harvesting mechanism transports the garlic to the top of the first conveyor belt 3, and then falls into the first conveyor belt 3; the first conveyor belt 3 transports the garlic to the guide trough, and after being guided by the guide trough, it falls into the second conveyor belt; the second conveyor belt drives the garlic upward through the baffle plate, and finally sends it into the shell 6 of the soil removing mechanism; the beating roller 7 rotates at high speed under the drive of the motor, and beats the surface of the garlic with the elastic beating teeth to make the attached soil fall off, and the soil slides out of the outlet through the soil dropping plate, and the cleaned garlic is collected by the discharge port of the soil removing mechanism.

[0026] During operation, if the height of the digging shovel changes with the terrain, the angle of the mounting frame 2 can be adjusted by the hydraulic rod 8, and the first conveyor belt 3 will also be adjusted according to the position of the mounting frame 2 to ensure that the garlic falls smoothly into the conveying mechanism.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features therein. These modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should all be included in the scope of the claims and description of the present invention.
