[0002] Garlic scapes, as an important economic by-product of garlic cultivation, occupy an important position in my country's agricultural production. According to statistics from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the annual planting area of ​​garlic scapes in my country exceeds 15 million mu, of which the output of garlic scapes in the main producing areas of my country accounts for more than 60% of the national total output. The harvesting of garlic scapes has obvious seasonal and time-sensitive characteristics. The spring harvesting period in April-May and the autumn harvesting period in September-October each year need to be completed within a golden window of 7-10 days, otherwise it will affect the quality of garlic scapes and the subsequent growth of garlic.

[0020] In this embodiment, two reinforcing wedges 5 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the substrate 1. The two reinforcing wedges 5 are fixedly connected to the left side of the first crescent-shaped clamp 3 and the right side of the second crescent-shaped clamp 4 respectively. The reinforcing wedges 5 can reinforce the first crescent-shaped clamp 3 and the second crescent-shaped clamp 4. A stabilizing strip 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the substrate 1. The left and right ends of the stabilizing strip 6 are fixedly connected to the right side of the first crescent-shaped clamp 3 and the left side of the second crescent-shaped clamp 4 respectively. The stabilizing strip 6 ensures the positioning and reinforcement of the second crescent-shaped clamp 4 and the first crescent-shaped clamp 3. An anti-slip pad 12 is fixedly connected to the left side of the control handle 11. The anti-slip pad 12 is made of silicone material. The anti-slip pad 12 prevents the operator from slipping.

[0021] In this embodiment, a U-shaped spring piece 13 is fixedly connected to the left side of the substrate 1. The end of the U-shaped spring piece 13 away from the substrate 1 is fixedly connected to the right side of the control handle 11. The U-shaped spring piece 13 can assist the control handle 11 to bounce and return to the origin. A positioning guide rod 20 is fixedly connected to the front of the second crescent-shaped clamp 4. The positioning guide rod 20, the first rotating wheel 7 and the second rotating wheel 8 are all in contact with the second pull line 28. The outer surface of the rewind button 9 is wrapped around the right end of the second pull line 28. The positioning guide rod 20 can guide the second pull line 28. A first pull line 22 is fixedly connected to the front of the linkage plate 18. One end of the first pull line 22 passes through two first thread holes 21 and a connecting hole 15 in sequence and extends to the bottom of the substrate 1. The outer surface of the first pull line 22 is in contact with the outer surface of the third rotating wheel 10. The right end of the first pull line 22 is fixedly connected to the left side of the control handle 11. The third rotating wheel 10 can conduct the first pull line 22.

[0022] In this embodiment, protective pads 25 are fixedly connected to the inner sidewalls of the second crescent-shaped clamp 4 and the second auxiliary clamp 24. Anti-slip textures are provided on the side of the two protective pads 25 that are close to each other. The protective pads 25 facilitate the protection of the garlic scapes. The first crescent-shaped clamp 3, the linkage plate 18, the first auxiliary clamp 17, the second crescent-shaped clamp 4, and the second auxiliary clamp 24 are all made of plastic. Since the first crescent-shaped clamp 3, the linkage plate 18, the first auxiliary clamp 17, the second crescent-shaped clamp 4, and the second auxiliary clamp 24 are made of plastic, the weight of the garlic scape harvester is reduced. The second pull line 28 and the first pull line 22 are both made of wear-resistant material. Since the second pull line 28 and the first pull line 22 are made of wear-resistant material, their service life is increased.

[0023] The working principle and usage process of this invention are as follows: In use, the operator first holds the control handle 11 and places the garlic sprouts between the first crescent-shaped clamp 3 and the first auxiliary clamp 17, while the garlic scapes are placed between the second crescent-shaped clamp 4 and the second auxiliary clamp 24. The first spring 16 and the second spring 26 are in a naturally extended state, providing initial clamping force to the first auxiliary clamp 17 and the second auxiliary clamp 24. The U-shaped spring 13 allows the control handle 11 to spring back to its original position. As the control handle 11 pulls the first pull cable 22, the pull cable 22 transmits the pulling force along the third rotating wheel 10, the connecting hole 15, and the first threaded hole 21, causing the linkage plate 18 to rotate in conjunction with the pin. As the linkage plate 18 pulls the first auxiliary clamp 17 closer to the first crescent-shaped clamp 3, it further clamps the garlic scapes. During the clamping process, the tension spring 19 at the front end pulls the cutting needle 23, which slides inside the first clamping plate 17 and cuts the clamped garlic scape. The second pull line 28 can be wound up by rotating the winding button 9. The second pull line 28 is guided by the positioning guide rod 20, the first rotating wheel 7 and the second rotating wheel 8, and pulls the second clamping plate 24 closer to the second crescent-shaped clamping plate 4 to clamp the garlic scape. Then, the control handle 11 is released, and the control handle 11 is reset with the help of the U-shaped spring 13. The first spring 16 pushes the first clamping plate 17 back to the initial position. As the first pull line 22 relaxes, the tension spring 19 pulls the cutting needle 23 to reset. Then, the base plate 1 is slowly pulled upward to remove the garlic scape from the garlic sprout, thereby improving the efficiency of garlic scape harvesting.
