DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] A potato harvester, such as Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, it includes a main frame 1, a twill wheel 2, a shell 3, a connecting shaft 4, an electric conveyor belt 5, a connecting frame 6, a rounded frame 7, a threaded roller 8, a collecting frame 9, a small motor 10, a contact wheel 11, a long pulley assembly 12, a short pulley assembly 13, a shovel plate 14, a connecting rod 1401, a limit plate 15 and a cylinder 16. The four corners of the bottom of the main frame 1 are rotatably connected to the twill wheel 2. The twill wheel 2 can facilitate the operator to push the device. The twill design can increase the friction between the twill wheel 2 and the ground. The shell 3 is connected to both sides of the main frame 1. The shell 3 is used to protect the device. The main frame 1 is rotatably connected to Three connecting shafts 4 are connected to an electric conveyor belt 5, which is rotatably connected to the connecting shafts 4. A plurality of small protrusions are evenly distributed on the electric conveyor belt 5. The small protrusions of the electric conveyor belt 5 can support potatoes to prevent them from slipping. Both sides of the rear of the main frame 1 are connected to connecting frames 6, which are connected to rounded corner frames 7. Three threaded rollers 8 are rotatably connected between the two connecting frames 6. The threaded rollers 8 are provided with symmetrically distributed threads, which are used to convey potatoes. The rounded corner frame 7 is connected to the threaded roller 8, and two partitions are provided inside the rounded corner frame 7. The two partitions divide the rounded corner frame 7 into three areas. The three areas correspond to three threaded rollers 8 respectively. The threaded rollers 8 are evenly provided with a plurality of round holes. The round hole diameters of the three threaded rollers 8 are different. The round hole diameter of the front threaded roller 8 is smaller, the round hole diameter of the middle threaded roller 8 is moderate, and the round hole diameter of the rear threaded roller 8 is larger. Potatoes can fall into the threaded roller 8 through the round holes of the threaded roller 8. A collecting frame 9 is connected to the rear side of the main frame 1. A small motor 10 is installed at the bottom of the main frame 1. Three contact wheels 11 are rotatably connected between the two connecting frames 6. The three contact wheels 11 are respectively located below the three threaded rollers 8, and the contact wheels 11 are in contact with the threaded rollers 8. The rotation of the contact wheel 11 can drive the threaded roller 8 to rotate. A long pulley assembly 12 is connected between adjacent contact wheels 11. A short pulley assembly 13 is connected between the output shaft of the small motor 10 and the front contact wheel 11. Limiting plates 15 are connected to both sides of the front of the main frame 1. The limiting plates 15 are slidably connected to the connecting rod 1401. The bottoms of the two connecting rods 1401 are commonly connected to a shovel plate 14. A plurality of notches are provided on the front side of the shovel plate 14. The notches of the shovel plate 14 can facilitate the advancement of the shovel plate 14 in the soil. Two cylinders 16 are installed at the front of the main frame 1, and the output ends of the cylinders 16 are connected to the connecting rod 1401.
[0025] When using the device to collect potatoes, the device is pushed forward, and the twill wheel 2 can make the device be easily pushed. The starting cylinder 16 drives the connecting rod 1401 to move downward along the limit plate 15, and the connecting rod 1401 drives the shovel plate 14 to move downward into the soil. At this time, the potatoes can be moved to the electric conveyor belt 5 through the shovel plate 14, and the electric conveyor belt 5 is started. The electric conveyor belt 5 can convey the potatoes to the rear of the device, and the small motor 10 is started to drive the short pulley assembly 13 to rotate, thereby driving the front contact wheel 11 to rotate, and the front contact wheel 11 can drive the long pulley assembly 12 to rotate, thereby driving the other two contact wheels 11 to rotate, and the contact wheel 11 can drive the threaded roller 8 to rotate. At this time, the potatoes can be conveyed backward by the threaded roller 8. Since the potatoes are of different sizes, during the conveying process of the potatoes, according to the size of the potatoes, the potatoes will fall into different threaded rollers 8 and be pushed to the corresponding areas of the rounded corner frames 7 on both sides by the threads inside the threaded roller 8, while the larger potatoes will be conveyed to the collection frame 9.
[0026] Example 2
[0027] On the basis of Example 1, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a large motor 17, a rear cam 18 and a front cam 19. Two large motors 17 are installed on both sides of the front of the main frame 1. The output shaft of the front large motor 17 is connected to the front cam 19, and the output shaft of the rear large motor 17 is connected to the rear cam 18. The front cam 19 is provided with four corners, and the rear cam 18 is provided with three corners. Therefore, the front cam 19 and the rear cam 18 can touch the electric conveyor belt 5 at different frequencies, thereby accelerating the vibration frequency of the electric conveyor belt 5.
[0028] Since potatoes will carry some soil with them during the process of harvesting potatoes, in order to separate the soil out of the device, the large motor 17 is started to drive the front cam 19 and the rear cam 18 to rotate. The front cam 19 and the rear cam 18 can cause the electric conveyor belt 5 to vibrate slightly, so that most of the soil falls through the gaps in the electric conveyor belt 5.
[0029] 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.
