[0019] 1. The present invention provides a root vegetable harvesting device. Compared with the existing harvesting device, the harvesting device realizes the harvesting of root vegetables in a mechanized manner. Compared with the traditional manual harvesting method, the harvesting speed and efficiency are greatly improved. The operator only needs to sit on the seat to operate the control console, without manually pushing the device or performing heavy physical labor, thereby reducing manpower consumption. At the same time, the angle of the feeding plate is adjusted by the telescopic cylinder to adapt to the harvesting of root vegetables at different depths, thereby improving the versatility and flexibility of the device. The design of the first transmission mechanism and the second transmission mechanism can effectively remove the soil on the surface of the root vegetables through the dual cleaning action of the conveying roller and the metal screen, thereby improving the cleanliness of the root vegetables.
