[0025] The controller 11 cooperates with the color sensor 12 to adjust the extension length of the two first electric push rods 3, so that when the color sensor 12 pushed by the two first electric push rods 3 detects the approximate dividing line between the white and green parts of the green onion, the controller 11 controls the two first electric push rods 3 to stop running, and then controls the second electric push rod 8 to extend, prompting the cutting knife 10 to move down and insert into the knife groove 6 to complete the cutting of the green onion leaves, so that the green onions are cut more neatly and beautifully, which not only reduces the aerobic respiration of the green onions, but also ensures the rationality of the green onion cutting.

[0026] The distance adjustment component includes a carrier 13, which is fixedly mounted between the output end of the second electric push rod 8 and the knife seat 9. A stud 14 is threadedly connected to the carrier 13, and one end of the stud 14 is rotatably connected to a carrier plate 15 through a bearing. The color sensor 12 is fixedly mounted on the carrier plate 15, and a guide rod 16 is fixed on the carrier plate 15. The guide rod 16 is arranged parallel to the stud 14. A sliding groove for the guide rod 16 to slide is provided on the carrier 13, and a knob 17 is fixed to the other end of the stud 14.

[0027] By rotating the stud 14 with the help of the knob 17, the stud 14 adjusts the horizontal distance between the color sensor 12 and the cutter 10. In this way, the retention length of the green onion can be adjusted, and the economic value of the green onion can be better retained for farmers without affecting the sales and storage of the green onion.

[0028] The angle adjustment assembly includes a fixing plate 18, the fixing plate 18 is fixedly mounted on the support seat 1, the two first electric push rods 3 are fixedly mounted on the fixing plate 18, a first U-shaped seat 19 is fixed on the fixing plate 18, a first carrier tube 20 is rotatably connected between the opposite inner walls of the first U-shaped seat 19 through a pin shaft, a fixing block 21 is fixed on the outer wall of the first carrier tube 20, a first support plate 2 is fixedly mounted on the top of the fixing block 21, a telescopic assembly is arranged between the fixing plate 18 and the first support plate 2, and the telescopic assembly is used to push the first support plate 2 to rotate around the first carrier tube 20;

[0029] The telescopic assembly includes two second U-shaped seats 22, one of which is fixedly mounted on the first support plate 2, and the other second U-shaped seat 22 is fixedly mounted on the fixed plate 18. A second carrier tube 23 is rotatably connected between the opposite inner walls of the second U-shaped seats 22 through a pin shaft, and a third electric push rod 24 is fixedly mounted between the two second carrier tubes 23;

[0030] The top of the second support plate 5 is provided with an inclined groove;

[0031] After the third electric push rod 24 is extended, the first support plate 2 can be pushed to rotate counterclockwise around the first carrier tube 20, so that the first support plate 2 changes from a horizontal state to an inclined state. In this way, the green onions held on the first support plate 2 can slide down along the first support plate 2 by their own weight, and the trimmed green onions can slide down along the inclined groove opened on the top of the second support plate 5, making it easier and more labor-saving to unload the green onions after trimming.

[0032] The mobile assembly includes a bottom plate 25, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support seat 1. Four universal wheels 26 are arranged at the bottom of the bottom plate 25. A fixing pipe 27 is fixedly passed through the bottom plate 25. A bolt 28 is inserted into the fixing pipe 27. The fixing pipe 27 is threadedly connected to the bolt 28. The bottom end of the bolt 28 is rotatably connected to a stop plate 29 through a bearing.

[0033] With the help of four universal wheels 26, the device is more convenient to transfer. The bolt 28 is tightened with a wrench so that the bolt 28 pushes the stop plate 29 down. In this way, the stop plate 29 contacts the ground to prevent the universal wheel 26 from continuing to move. The universal wheel 26 is provided with a self-locking structure to prevent the universal wheel 26 from continuing to roll. The stop plate 29 plays a reinforcing role, making the device more stable when in use.

[0034] Working principle of this utility model:

[0035] When in use, the device is transferred to a designated position with the help of four universal wheels 26. After reaching the designated position, the bolt 28 is tightened with a wrench to push the stop plate 29 downward, so that the stop plate 29 is tightly fitted with the ground. In this way, the universal wheel 26 can be prevented from continuing to move, so that the device remains locked in position. The farmer places the bundles of green onions on the first support plate 2, and controls the first electric push rod 3 to slowly extend by the controller 11, so that the first electric push rod 3 pushes the color sensor 12 to move away from the first support plate 2. The color sensor 12 transmits the color signal to the controller 11. When the color sensor 12 is transferred from the upper part of the green onion to the upper part of the green onion, the color sensor 12 is moved to the upper part of the green onion. When the controller 11 receives the signal transmitted by the color sensor 12, it will control the first electric push rod 3 to stop running, and then control the second electric push rod 8 to extend, so that the second electric push rod 8 pushes the cutter 10 to move down to complete the trimming of the green onion, and only retain part of the green onion, so as to reduce the aerobic respiration of the green onion during transportation and storage, and extend its storage time. According to the type and growth condition of the green onion, the knob 17 can be turned to pull the stud 14 to rotate, so that the stud 14 adjusts the distance between the carrier plate 15 and the cutter 10, thereby changing the horizontal distance between the color sensor 12 and the cutter 10, thereby changing the trimming position of the green onion, and realizing the adjustment of the retained size of the green onion;

[0036] The trimmed green onions will slide down along the inclined groove on the second support plate 5 by their own weight, while the bundled green onions will stay on the first support plate 2. In order to save the farmer's physical strength, the controller 11 controls the third electric push rod 24 to extend and push the first support plate 2 to rotate counterclockwise around the first carrier tube 20, so that the first support plate 2 changes from a horizontal state to an inclined state. In this way, the green onions held on the first support plate 2 can slide down along the first support plate 2 by their own weight.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
