Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pepper harvesting, in particular to an efficient pepper harvester. Background Art

[0002] The harvesting methods of peppers are mainly divided into two types: whole-plant harvesting and batch field picking. Whole-plant harvesting is applicable to limited-branching varieties. When all the peppers on the whole plant are mature and the pepper fruits are plump, the harvesting is carried out. The harvesting methods include pulling up the seedlings and cutting the seedlings. Pulling up the seedlings means pulling up the pepper seedlings together with the roots, and cutting the seedlings means cutting the pepper seedlings with a sickle or using a harvester to harvest.

[0003] For example, the authorized announcement number "CN216567155U" is a pepper harvester, which realizes further sorting of pepper fruits by setting a blower. The wind speed of this blower is set within a reasonable range. This wind speed can blow light impurities such as leaves outside the machine, but cannot blow the pepper fruits outside the machine. The pepper fruits fall into the harvesting belt below to complete the harvesting work of peppers. However, for existing pepper harvesters, since the peppers that have grown in the land, together with the pepper stalks and pepper leaves, need to be harvested into the harvester, during the harvesting and sorting process of the harvester, it is inevitable that the pepper leaves and the peppers themselves will be squeezed and broken. After being broken, the peppers and pepper leaves are prone to produce juice and fragments. The overall harvester basically uses physical methods to directly carry out the harvesting and sorting process. Therefore, the peppers harvested later need to be washed again and the broken peppers need to be picked out, which prolongs the steps and time of pepper harvesting and reduces the working efficiency of the pepper harvester.

[0004] At the same time, for existing pepper harvesters, after separating the peppers and pepper leaves, the lighter pepper leaves are discharged by blowing. However, pepper leaves are also important food ingredients and medicinal materials, and pepper leaves have high utilization value. At the same time, the discarded pepper stalks can also be recycled as medicinal ingredients. However, at the present stage, after the pepper harvester harvests the peppers, a large amount of pepper leaves and pepper stalks will be discarded, resulting in waste of resources and seriously affecting the use cost of the pepper harvester. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to solve the problems of reduced working efficiency and increased use cost of existing pepper harvesters, and to propose an efficient pepper harvester.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] Design an efficient pepper harvester, including a harvester base, a harvester box body and wheels. A plurality of the wheels are rotatably connected below the harvester base through axles. The harvester box body is fixedly installed above the harvester base. A pepper harvesting, cleaning and sorting structure is provided inside the harvester box body. A pepper leaf recycling and waste reduction structure is provided inside the harvester box body. A pepper harvesting and conveying structure is provided on one side of the top end of the harvester box body.

[0008] Preferably, the pepper leaf recycling and waste reduction structure includes a first sorting pool and a second sorting pool. The first sorting pool is fixedly installed on one side inside the harvester box body. The second sorting pool is fixedly installed on the other side inside the harvester box body. A partition is fixedly installed between the first sorting pool and the second sorting pool. A water inlet pipe is fixedly connected inside the second sorting pool. A water pump is fixedly installed at the top end of the water inlet pipe. An outer discharge pipe is fixedly communicated with the other side of the second sorting pool. A discharge valve is fixedly installed inside the outer discharge pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the pepper harvesting, cleaning and sorting structure includes a first motor and a second ramp. The first motor is movably installed on the outer wall of the harvester box body. The output shaft of the first motor is fixedly connected with a rotating rod. A plurality of soft brushes are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating rod. The second ramp is fixedly installed inside the second sorting pool. The bottom end inside the first sorting pool is fixedly installed with a first ramp.

[0010] Preferably, the pepper harvesting and conveying structure includes a positioning roller and an extension rod. The positioning roller is rotatably connected to one side of the top end of the harvester box body. The outer wall of the positioning roller is rotatably connected with a toothed belt through toothed pulleys. A plurality of harvesting hooks are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the toothed belt. A second motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top end of the harvester box body. The output shaft of the second motor is fixedly connected to one end of the positioning roller. The extension rod is fixedly installed at the front end of the harvester base. The end of the extension rod is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the toothed belt through a gear pulley.

[0011] Preferably, a discharge valve is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the harvester box body. The inner side of the discharge valve is communicated with the inner wall of the first sorting pool. The inside of the discharge valve is oppositely arranged with the end of the first ramp.

[0012] Preferably, the other end of the water inlet pipe is oppositely arranged with the top end of the first sorting pool. One side of the positioning roller is oppositely arranged above the first sorting pool. A plurality of the soft brushes are rotatably arranged inside the first sorting pool.

[0013] An efficient pepper harvester proposed by the utility model has the beneficial effects that: the first motor can drive the rotating rod to rotate in the first sorting pool, and the rotating rod can drive the soft brush to brush the falling peppers and stir the water flow in the first sorting pool. The water flow can accelerate the cleaning speed of the peppers. Finally, the clean peppers will fall along the first ramp to the position of the discharge valve, which utilizes the ability to brush and clean the soil impurities of the harvested peppers and improves the working efficiency of the efficient pepper harvester.

[0014] The first sorting pool will sink the heavier peppers to the bottom, while the lighter pepper leaves and pepper stems will float on the water surface. Therefore, the pepper leaves and pepper stems can flow along the partition to the second sorting pool. After the pepper leaves and pepper stems are sorted, the operator opens the discharge valve and closes the water pump, and the outer discharge pipe can discharge the sorted pepper leaves and pepper stems along the outer discharge pipe from the inside of the harvester box, which is convenient for recycling and reduces the waste of pepper stems and pepper leaves with high medicinal value, and reduces the use cost of the efficient pepper harvester.
