[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a lettuce harvesting device comprises:

[0029] The harvesting platform 100 has one end as a loading part and the other end as a storage part. The loading end of the loading part is arranged opposite to the storage part. The bottom surface of the loading part is configured with a cutting mechanism 200. The cutting end of the cutting mechanism 200 extends from the loading end of the loading part and is used to cut lettuce. The top surface of the loading part is configured with a roller table 300 inclined toward the storage part. The discharge end of the roller table 300 is connected to the feed end of the storage part.

[0030] The moving wheel 400 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the material storage part and the material loading part, and includes a first rotating wheel 401 disposed on the outside of the material loading part and a second rotating wheel 402 disposed on the outside of the material storage part;

[0031] A material receiving mechanism 500 is movably mounted on the outer side wall of the feeding end of the loading part. The working end of the material receiving mechanism 500 is used to collect the cut lettuce toward the roller table 300 . The driving end of the material receiving mechanism 500 is eccentrically hinged to the outer wall of the first rotating wheel 401 .

[0032] In this way, when picking lettuces in the greenhouse, only one person is needed to push the harvesting platform 100 and open the cutting mechanism 200 on the bottom of the harvesting platform 100. As the harvesting platform 100 is pushed forward, the cutting end of the cutting mechanism 200 continuously cuts the lettuces in front of the moving front. Then, as the first rotating wheel 401 rotates during the forward movement, the working end of the collecting mechanism 500 continuously collects the cut lettuces toward the feeding part. The lettuces that fall above the feeding part can be placed on the roller table 300, and then, under the action of the inclined roller table 300, they slide to the storage part for storage. Only one worker is needed to continuously roll up the lettuces that enter the storage part. This greatly saves labor and can be used in smaller greenhouses.

[0033] Furthermore, for the cutting mechanism 200, the cutting mechanism 200 includes a rotating motor 201 installed on the bottom surface of the loading part, the rotating end of the rotating motor 201 is vertically arranged and coaxially installed with a saw blade 202 as the working end, and an outer edge of the saw blade 202 extends out of the vertical projection range of the loading part.

[0034] Furthermore, the roller table 300 includes a plurality of rotating rollers 301 with rotating axes parallel to each other. The rotating rollers 301 located at both ends are used to sleeve the receiving belt 302. The rotating rollers 301 located inside the receiving belt 302 are used to support the receiving belt 302. The moving direction of the top of the receiving belt 302 is horizontal and toward the material storage part.

[0035] Furthermore, the material collecting mechanism 500 includes a support rod 501 hinged to the outer wall of the feed end of the loading part, a pulling rod 502 is movably inserted at the top of the support rod 501, a collecting rod 503 is installed at the end of the pulling rod 502 facing away from the material storage part, and a driving rod 504 as the driving end is hinged to the end of the pulling rod 502 facing the material storage part, and the bottom end of the driving rod 504 is eccentrically hinged to the outer wall of the first rotating wheel 401.

[0036] In addition, the rod body of the driving rod 504 is connected to the rod body of the supporting rod 501 via a stabilizing rod 505 , and two ends of the stabilizing rod 505 are hinged to the driving rod 504 and the supporting rod 501 , respectively.

[0037] In this way, as the harvesting platform 100 moves forward, during the rotation of the first rotating wheel 401 , the collecting rod 503 continuously performs a circular motion, so that the cut lettuces are periodically collected onto the roller platform 300 using the collecting rod 503 .

[0038] Furthermore, the axis of the collecting rod 503 is arranged parallel to the rotation axis of the first rotating wheel 401 .

[0039] At the same time, the material collecting mechanisms 500 are respectively provided on both sides of the material loading portion, and the collecting rods 503 of the two material collecting mechanisms 500 are arranged facing each other and coaxially.

[0040] 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.
