Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of harvester technology, and in particular relates to a two-wheel walking hand-held harvester. Background Technology
[0002] The demand for crops such as chili peppers and soybeans is increasing year by year, and the planting area is rapidly expanding. What used to be small-scale garden or plot cultivation has now evolved into large-scale planting. For example, Kailu County in Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia, has formed red chili pepper planting bases at the township level, and a deep-processing industrial chain has also been established. With the expansion of planting scale, the harvesting of crops such as chili peppers and soybeans has become an urgent problem to solve. Many regions cultivate large areas of chili peppers and soybeans, but during the harvest season, the outdated manual methods of cutting down the vines are still commonly used. This method is inefficient, labor-intensive, and consumes a lot of manpower. Mechanical harvesting of chili peppers and soybeans could obviously improve harvesting efficiency significantly. However, some large harvesting equipment requires the use of large power equipment. Given the limited resources of many farmers, using large machinery to harvest chili peppers and soybeans is impractical. Moreover, large equipment cannot be used to harvest chili peppers and soybeans planted in scattered plots. Therefore, many farmers need a simple crop harvester that can reduce harvesting costs and is easy to use.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN103718731B discloses a mini harvester for slopes. This harvester includes a walk-behind power assembly, a transmission system, a cutter, a sloping conveyor system, and a divider. Its main feature is that a power output shaft is located in front of the reducer of the walk-behind power assembly, which is connected to a coupling of the transmission system. A multi-stage reduction system is located above the middle of the transmission main shaft of the transmission system, which uses bevel gears and spur gears to mesh. The spur gears are fixed to the first-stage reduction output shaft. A conveyor drive pulley is located on the first-stage reduction output shaft, transmitting power to the sloping conveyor system above via a transmission belt. A divider is located on the bottom plate at the right end of the cutter. However, this harvester uses a scissor-type cutter head, which easily penetrates into the soil and is prone to deformation, blade jamming, and other safety hazards. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] A specific embodiment of the two-wheeled walking hand-held harvester of this utility model is as follows: Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the machine includes a frame 1, with an engine 6 mounted at the rear. Its output shaft is connected to a clutch pulley 11 via a flange. The clutch pulley 11 is connected to the gearbox pulley 12 on the input shaft of the gearbox 7 via a gearbox drive belt 21, forming a belt drive. The gearbox 7 housing is fixed to the middle of the frame 1. Its left output shaft is rigidly connected to the shaft of the left drive wheel 4 via a left clutch, and its right output shaft is rigidly connected to the axle of the right drive wheel 5 via a right clutch. The left and right clutches are respectively linked to the left handle 9 and right handle 10 on both sides of the operating handle 2 via steel cables. The operator can independently control the clutch status of the two drive wheels using the left handle 9 and right handle 10 to achieve differential steering. When one clutch disengages, the corresponding drive wheel loses power, while the other side maintains drive to achieve steering. The gearbox 7 has a gear lever 8; by changing gears using the gear lever 8, the machine can achieve low-speed travel, high-speed travel, neutral, and reverse gear functions. The throttle can control the speed of engine 6. When the speed is reduced, the clutch wheel 11 is disengaged, and the whole machine stops working except for engine 6. The driving speed can be further controlled by the throttle position.
[0028] Two parallel cutter shafts 14 are rotatably mounted on the lower rear side of the fixing plate 3 at the front end of the frame 1 via bearing seats. A cutter disc 15 is fixedly connected to the lower end of each cutter shaft 14, and a cutter shaft pulley 19 is connected to the upper end via a key. The cutter shaft transmission box 16 is fixed to the back of the fixing plate 3. The input pulley 17 on its input shaft is connected to the clutch pulley 11 via a cutter shaft transmission belt 20. The output pulley 18 on its output shaft simultaneously drives the cutter shaft pulleys 19 of both cutter shafts via another set of cutter shaft transmission belts 20, forming a "one input, two outputs" transmission structure. The cutter shaft transmission box 16 has a neutral position, which can be manually operated to stop the cutter shaft rotation.
[0029] Three sets of reeling sprockets 22 are mounted on the left and right ends of the fixed plate 3 via bearings. Each set of reeling sprockets 22 drives a reeling chain 23, with reeling teeth 24 evenly welded to the chain surface. The reeling transmission box 25 is fixed behind the fixed plate 3. The reeling transmission box sprocket 26 mounted on its input shaft meshes with the gearbox sprocket 13 at the input shaft end of the gearbox 7 via the reeling transmission box chain 27. The reeling transmission box 25 is equipped with a set of distribution gears. The upper output shaft drives the uppermost reeling sprocket 22 via the first transmission shaft, and the lower output shaft drives the middle and bottom sets of reeling sprockets 22 simultaneously via the second transmission shaft, realizing the synchronous and opposite rotation of the three-layer chain.
[0030] Two crop lifters are welded to the front of the fixing plate 3. The two lifters are located on one side of each of the two cutter heads 15. Each lifter includes a bracket 30, and each bracket 30 has two sets of lifting wheels 31 mounted on it via a rotating shaft. The upper lifting wheel 31 is inclined to the vertical direction, while the lower lifting wheel 31 is horizontally arranged. The teeth 24 of the two lower lifting chains 23 contact the outer edge of the lifting wheel 31 during operation, driving the wheel 31 to rotate through friction. A conical mounting bracket 28 is bolted to the front of the fixing plate 3, with a crop divider 29 mounted at its front bottom. The front bottoms of the two brackets 30 are also equipped with crop dividers 29, forming a three-stage crop distribution and guiding structure. The crop divider 29 is made of thin-walled steel plate, with its sharp front end inserted into the crop clump.
[0031] When using this utility model of a two-wheeled walking hand-held harvester, the operator holds the rear handle, using their left thumb to control the left clutch lever and their right thumb to control the right clutch lever. Single-sided disengagement allows for the minimum turning radius. The cutting force generated by the rotation of the cutter head 15 and the conveying force of the reeling chain 23 form a dynamic balance. When the reeling teeth 24 grasp the crop stalks, the guiding wheel 31 assists in correcting the crop's posture, and the divider 29 isolates the crop to be cut. After the cutter head 15 completes the root cutting, the crop is neatly laid out along the guide surface of the fixed plate 3 under the push of the reeling teeth 24. This connection system achieves full system drive from a single power source through multi-stage transmission, forming a spatial three-dimensional transmission network between components, maximizing the reduction of the overall machine size while ensuring functionality.
[0032] This utility model discloses a two-wheel walking hand-held harvester driven by a single engine 6 through a three-stage transmission system (walking / cutting / picking). It employs a "clutch pulley 11-transmission belt-sprocket" combined architecture to maximize power distribution efficiency. The dual-blade shaft counter-rotating design generates opposing cutting forces, which, combined with the under-mounted cutter disc 15, forms a continuous closed-loop cutting trajectory, effectively preventing grass entanglement. This utility model allows for easy operation by one person; it stops immediately upon releasing the throttle. It uses a walking gearbox 7 with a differential, and turning is easily achieved by pulling or gripping the steering handle. Both the gearbox 7 and the cutter shaft transmission box 16 are equipped with a neutral gear, allowing the driven components to stop rotating independently.
[0033] A second specific embodiment of the two-wheeled walking hand-held harvester of this utility model is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that there are two cutter shaft transmission boxes 16 in this embodiment. The two cutter shaft transmission boxes 16 are fixedly connected to the back of the fixing plate 3. The output shafts of the two cutter shaft transmission boxes 16 are respectively connected to the two cutter shafts 14. The cutter shaft transmission boxes 16 are connected to the clutch wheel 11 through the cutter shaft transmission box transmission component.
