Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of agricultural taro harvesting equipment, and particularly relates to an integrated machine for harvesting and separating multi-seed taro. Background Technology
[0002] Taro is a tuberous crop with high nutritional value, containing various trace elements essential for the human body, which can help strengthen the body. It can be eaten as a staple food or a vegetable. Traditionally, taro harvesting relies on manual labor: digging with hoes, cutting off the stems, removing the soil from the surface of the tubers, and then separating the mother and daughter tubers by hand. This process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Furthermore, the limited planting area of individual taro farmers prevents the use of large-scale tuber harvesting machinery. Farmers have an urgent need for mechanized taro harvesting, but currently, there are no machines on the market specifically designed for separating and harvesting taro tubers. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the shortcomings mentioned in the background art, the present invention proposes an integrated machine for harvesting and separating multi-seed taro, which aims to solve the problems of cumbersome harvesting steps, high labor intensity and low harvesting efficiency of existing multi-seed taro harvesting methods, manual separation of mother and daughter taro.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0005] A multi-seed taro harvesting and separating integrated machine includes a frame, a roof cover mounted on top of the frame, a plow shovel mounted at the front of the frame, a chain screen device mounted at the front end inside the frame, and a separating device mounted behind the chain screen device. The bottom edge of the plow shovel is aligned with the bottom of the frame. The chain screen device is inclined backward from bottom to top. The plow shovel, roof cover, separating device, and chain screen device are all connected to the frame. The specific structure is as follows:
[0006] The separation device is located on the rear side of the frame and includes a breaking conveyor belt, a shifting roller, and a female tuber extractor. The breaking conveyor belt is fixed on the frame beam. The shifting roller is located above the breaking conveyor belt and is supported inside the frame by gears and roller bearings. The female tuber extractor is inside the shifting roller and is fixed on the rear side of the frame.
[0007] The bottom edge of the roof is fixedly connected to the crossbeam of the frame, a control panel is installed at the front, an electronic control device is installed on the inside, and a transparent acrylic panel is installed at the rear.
[0008] The chain screen device includes an outer chain plate, an inner chain plate, a drive shaft, a drive sprocket, a driven sprocket, a coupling, a motor, a diamond-shaped seat, and a pin. The pin is connected to the outer chain plate and the inner chain plate. The drive sprocket and the driven sprocket cause the chain to rotate. The rear of the chain screen device is fixed to the frame. The coupling connects the motor and the drive shaft. The front of the chain screen device is fixed to the frame through the diamond-shaped seat.
[0009] In this invention, the width of the chain screen device is slightly smaller than the width of the front end receiving device of the mother and daughter taro separation device.
[0010] In this invention, the pin spacing of the chain screen device is less than the width of the mother and daughter taro.
[0011] In this invention, the tail end of the chain screen device is close to the opening of the mother-daughter taro separation device.
[0012] In this invention, baffles are evenly distributed on the breaking conveyor belt.
[0013] Beneficial effects: The harvester moves forward on the land where taro is planted, pulled by a tractor. The shovel of the harvester scoops up the taro and soil together and pushes them to the top of the shovel. As it moves forward, the taro is pushed into the chain screen device at the rear. The device vibrates continuously during the upward conveying process, removing the soil and retaining the taro. Through the chain screen device, the taro is conveyed to the separation device, where the taro and the mother taro are separated. After the separation, the mother taro falls to the rear of the machine and is collected, while the separated taro is conveyed to the other side for collection. Attached Figure Description
