[0060] Working principle:
[0061] The harvesting device of this invention moves towards the stems and leaves of Epimedium. Two gathering plates 202 can move to the left and right sides within the mounting groove. Under the action of the first spring 204 and the second spring 205, the gathering plates 202 always tend to converge towards the area of the cutting structure, thus causing the Epimedium stems and leaves to converge towards the cutting structure. The first motor 107 drives the driving wheel 108 and the driven wheel 105 to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the driven shaft 103 and the cutting blade 104 to rotate, thus cutting the Epimedium stems and leaves. The cooperation between the gate-shaped collecting and gathering section 302 and the flexible curtain 303 makes it easier for the cut Epimedium stems and leaves to gather into the collecting channel. During this process, the second motor 404 is driven, creating suction in both the collecting channel and the mouth-shaped guide channel 304. This allows the cut Epimedium stems and leaves to pass sequentially through the collecting channel, the mouth-shaped guide channel 304, and the fan output channel 409 into the collecting frame 110, thus achieving the collection of Epimedium stems and leaves. Specifically, the rotation of the fan blades 403 generates suction, drawing the Epimedium stems and leaves to the partition plate 406 for blocking. Under the influence of gravity, they fall through the fan output channel 409.
[0062] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
