Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically to a side-mounted rotary cutter type lavender harvester, which is suitable for efficient mechanized harvesting of lavender. Background Technology

[0002] As an aromatic plant and economic crop, lavender harvesting requires high efficiency and completeness. Currently, traditional lavender harvesting methods mainly rely on manual picking or simple mechanical cutting, which presents the following significant problems: manual harvesting is extremely inefficient and labor-intensive, making it difficult to meet the harvesting needs of large-scale planting; existing small-scale harvesting machinery often uses front- or rear-mounted cutting devices, which easily leads to lavender plants lodging, inconsistent cutting heights, flower damage, and yield loss; the post-harvest lavender collection process is cumbersome, often resulting in material blockage or scattering due to unreasonable conveyor design, affecting the continuity of harvesting. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a mechanized device that can efficiently straighten lavender, precisely cut it, and smoothly collect it, to solve the problems of low efficiency, significant damage, and difficult collection in existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a side-mounted rotary lavender harvester that integrates functions such as straightening, cutting, gathering, conveying, and recycling to achieve efficient and low-damage harvesting of lavender, thereby improving the efficiency of mechanized operations.

[0004] The side-mounted rotary cutter type lavender harvester includes a walking tractor head, a support drive shaft, a lavender straightening plate, a lavender gathering mechanism, an L-shaped conveyor mechanism, a conveyor mechanism support frame, a lavender recycling hopper, and a lavender cutting rotary cutter mechanism. The specific structure is as follows: The hand-held tractor head serves as the power carrier, with a support drive shaft on its side for supporting and transmitting cutting power; the other end of the support drive shaft is equipped with a lavender cutting rotary blade mechanism, which is driven by the tractor's power to rotate and cut the lavender; a lavender straightening plate is installed at the front end of the lavender cutting rotary blade mechanism to straighten and straighten the lavender plants to be harvested, ensuring vertical cutting; the rear side of the lavender cutting rotary blade mechanism is connected to a lavender gathering mechanism, which gathers and guides the cut lavender to the conveying path; the outlet of the lavender gathering mechanism is connected to the inlet of an L-shaped conveyor mechanism, the upper part of which is fixed by a conveyor mechanism support frame, the other end of which is connected to the side of the lavender collection hopper; the outlet of the L-shaped conveyor mechanism is located above the lavender collection hopper, which is installed behind the hand-held tractor head for collecting the harvested lavender. The lavender straightening board is arc-shaped, with the front end wider than the rear end, forming a gradually narrowing straightening channel; the lavender gathering mechanism is an inclined funnel-shaped structure with guide plates on the inner wall; the L-shaped conveying mechanism includes a horizontal section and an inclined section. The horizontal section receives the outlet of the gathering mechanism, and the inclined section extends upward to the recycling hopper, with a chain plate or belt conveyor installed inside.

[0005] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0006] Efficient straightening and cutting: The front straightening plate straightens the lavender plants to prevent them from falling over, and the side-mounted rotary blade mechanism enables vertical cutting, reducing damage to stems and flowers;

[0007] Continuous collection and conveying: The funnel-shaped collecting mechanism works in conjunction with the L-shaped conveying mechanism to form a smooth material conveying path. The inclined design utilizes gravity and conveying power to improve conveying efficiency and avoid blockages.

[0008] Modular integration: Each mechanism is rigidly connected to the head of the walking tractor via a support drive shaft and support frame, resulting in a compact structure that is easy to install and disassemble and is compatible with various tractor models;

[0009] Improved harvesting efficiency: Mechanized operations replace manual labor, and a single machine can harvest 10-15 times the area of ​​traditional manual labor per day, significantly reducing labor intensity and harvesting costs. Attached Figure Description
