Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a multi-stage, separate ridge-growing root and stem crop harvesting device. Background Technology

[0002] Harvesting root and tuber crops is a crucial aspect of agricultural mechanized harvesting technology, primarily involving soil excavation, separation of crop roots and tubers from the soil, and collection and sorting of the roots and tubers. Current technologies typically employ vibratory shovels or roller cutters to directly break up the soil during the soil crushing process. This method can damage the outer skin of some root and tuber crops, reducing their value. Soil separation is generally performed using single-stage separation devices, which may not be timely enough in environments with highly sticky soils. Furthermore, these devices are mostly suitable only for separating tuberous crops, offering limited applicability to smaller root and tuber crops that are more difficult to separate. Some devices combine soil excavation and separation into two separate mechanical structures, lacking integration, such as a root and tuber crop harvesting device (CN116569729A).

[0034] In this embodiment of the utility model, a lifting assembly 20 for lifting crops onto the screen is provided on the vehicle body at the front of the soil screening assembly. The lifting assembly includes an inclined conveyor chain 21. Both the upper and lower ends of the conveyor chain are provided with lifting shafts 22 for driving the conveyor chain to circulate.

The lifting shaft is rotatably connected to the vehicle body via bearings.

[0035] In this embodiment of the utility model, the conveyor chain is provided with a plurality of trays 23 for supporting crops at intervals.

[0036] In this embodiment of the utility model, a soil-crushing component 24 is provided on the vehicle body at the front of the lifting assembly.

[0040] The working principle of this utility model embodiment is as follows: First, the vehicle starts. As the vehicle moves forward, the soil-breaking component drives the soil-breaking rod to rotate via the rotating shaft to break the soil and swing the soil-bearing crop onto the soil-crushing component. The soil-crushing component rotates and applies pressure to the soil to break it up, while also limiting the pressure to protect the crop during the crushing process. Through the soil crushing and agitation of the soil-crushing component, the crop is transferred to the lifting component, and then the lifting mesh chain and pallet transfer the crop to the soil-screening component. The drive rod drives the eccentric wheel to rotate inside the sleeve, which in turn drives the sleeve linkage slide rod to complete the extension and retraction action. That is, the spring increases the reciprocating frequency to complete the reciprocating shaking of the screen, vibrating and screening out large pieces of soil and soil adhering to the crop. As the crop vibrates, it falls from the rear end onto the conveyor belt, which is then transported forward. The lever of the agitator component agitates the conveyor belt to shake off excess soil, completing the separation of soil and crop, and transporting the crop to the collection box.
