Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the utility model provides an embodiment: an automatic lotus root harvester, including a storage box 1, a telescopic arm 3 is arranged on one side of the outer wall of the storage box 1, a rotating arm 6 is rotatably connected to one side of the telescopic arm 3, a fixed block 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating arm 6, a motor 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed block 7, a gear 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 8, a rotating shaft 11 is rotatably connected to both sides of the fixed block 7, a gear 2 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 11 on both sides, the gear 19 is meshed with the gear 2 10 on one side, the gears 2 10 on both sides are meshed with each other, a fixed rod 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the gear 2 10 on both sides, a clamping plate 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed rod 13, and a scissor blade 12 is fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 11;
[0025] Specifically, in the process of digging lotus roots, the motor 8 will drive the gear 9 to rotate, and the gear 9 will further drive the gear 2 10 on one side to rotate. The gears 2 10 on both sides realize reverse synchronous rotation through the meshing structure. As the gear 2 10 rotates, the fixing rod 13 fixed on the gear 2 10 will drive the clamping plates 14 on both sides to clamp inwards, which can effectively fix the lotus root. At the same time, the rotating shaft 11 will also rotate with the rotation of the gear 2 10. The other end of the rotating shaft 11 is connected to the scissors blade 12. Therefore, when the rotating shaft 11 rotates, the scissors blade 12 will also rotate accordingly, so that the scissors blade 12 can quickly and accurately cut the rhizome of the lotus root at the right time.
[0026] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 A connecting assembly is provided inside the telescopic arm 3, and the connecting assembly includes a main slide rod 20 and a flange 16.

[0027] Specifically, when the lotus root is retracted, the motor 18 will start and drive the screw rod 19 to rotate. The screw rod 19 drives the main slide rod 20 to move in a straight line through its threaded structure. At the same time, with the sliding assistance of the limit slide rod 21, the main slide rod 20 can slide stably, thereby driving the telescopic arm 3 to perform telescopic movement. When the telescopic arm 3 is retracted, the hydraulic push rod 4 will also start and drive the coupling 5 to move. The coupling 5 drives the rotating arm 6 to rotate through its connecting structure, thereby placing the lotus root into the receiving box 17.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 A receiving box 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the storage box 1, a conveyor belt 15 is arranged inside the storage box 1, and a crawler track 2 is arranged at the bottom of the storage box 1;
[0029] Specifically, the device can be moved in the lotus pond by the crawler 2, and the retrieved lotus roots will be collected by the receiving box 17 and fall into the storage box 1, and transported to the storage box 1 by the conveyor belt 15 inside the storage box 1, thereby avoiding the lotus roots inside the storage box 1 from piling up on the front side.
[0030] Working principle: When digging lotus roots, the motor 18 can drive the gear 19 to rotate, and the rotation of the gear 19 will drive the gear 2 10 on one side to rotate, and the gears 2 10 on both sides will rotate synchronously in the opposite direction through meshing, and the fixed rod 13 fixed on the gear 2 10 will drive the clamping plates 14 on both sides to clamp inward, thereby fixing the lotus root, and at the same time, the rotating shaft 11 will rotate with the gear 2 10, and the rotating shaft 11 will drive the scissors blade 12 to rotate, thereby cutting the lotus root rhizome, when the lotus root is retracted, the motor 2 18 can drive the screw rod 19 to rotate, and the screw rod 19 will drive the main slide bar 20 to move, and with the assistance of the sliding of the limit slide bar 21, the main slide bar 20 will slide, thereby retracting the telescopic arm 3, and at the same time, the coupling 5 can be driven by the hydraulic push rod 4, and the rotating arm 6 is driven to rotate through the coupling 5, thereby putting the lotus root into the receiving box 17.
