[0017] The advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] This utility model of a chili harvester uses a vehicle body as a carrier. The vehicle body is arranged from front to back with a feeding area, an impurity blowing and conveying area, and a material collection and storage area. The feeding area adopts a combination of double spiral shafts and a conveyor belt. The chili plants are guided into the space between the two spiral shafts by a divider. Under the action of the spiral blades of the two spiral shafts, the chili fruits on the chili plants can be peeled off onto the conveyor belt, and then the conveyor belt conveys the chili fruits backward to the impurity blowing and conveying area.

[0019] During the process of peeling off the chili peppers in the feeding area, a small amount of leaf impurities will also be peeled off. Therefore, this invention designs an impurity blowing and conveying area to remove leaf impurities and then transport the chili peppers after impurity removal to the collection and storage area, so as to finally harvest the chili peppers after impurity removal.

[0020] The chili harvester of this utility model also includes a duty seat, where the duty personnel sit to observe whether the chilies are falling into the storage bin in real time and whether it is normal.

[0025] For those skilled in the art, other related figures can be obtained from the above figures without any creative effort. Detailed Implementation

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0027] A chili harvester, see attached. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 2 It includes: a vehicle body, on which a feeding area, an impurity blowing and conveying area, and a material storage area are arranged sequentially from front to back.

[0028] The feeding area is equipped with a divider 11, a spiral shaft 12, a primary conveyor belt 13, and a primary barrier 14. The divider 11 is located at the front end of the feeding area. There are two spiral shafts 12, which are arranged parallel to each other and have a gap between them. There are two primary conveyor belts 13, which are respectively located outside the two spiral shafts. The primary barrier 14 is located outside the primary conveyor belts to prevent the pepper fruits from falling out from the side. During operation, as the vehicle moves forward, the divider 11 guides the pepper plants into the space between the two spiral shafts 12. Under the action of the spiral blades of the two spiral shafts, the pepper fruits on the pepper plants are peeled off onto the primary conveyor belt 13, which then conveys the pepper fruits backward to the impurity blowing and conveying area.

[0029] Furthermore, both the spiral shaft 12 and the primary conveyor belt 13 are inclined upwards from front to back, and partitions 131 are spaced on the primary conveyor belt to achieve uniform conveying of the chili peppers.

[0030] During the process of peeling off the chili peppers in the feeding area, a small amount of leaf impurities will also be peeled off. Therefore, this utility model is designed with an impurity blowing and conveying area to remove leaf impurities and then transport the chili peppers after impurity removal to the collection and storage area. Specifically, the impurity removal and conveying area is equipped with a secondary conveyor belt 21, a cross-flow fan device 22, a secondary enclosure 23, and an impurity outlet 24. The secondary conveyor belt 21 is inclined upwards from front to back and has through holes evenly distributed on it. The diameter of the through holes is smaller than the diameter of the chili pepper fruit. Baffles are spaced apart on the secondary conveyor belt to ensure uniform upward conveying of the chili pepper fruit. The cross-flow fan device 22 is located at the lower part of the secondary conveyor belt 21. The secondary enclosure 23 is located on the side and top of the secondary conveyor belt 21, forming an installation space at the lower part of the secondary conveyor belt for installing the cross-flow fan device 22, and forming a collection space at the upper part of the secondary conveyor belt. The impurity outlet 24 is located at the top of the collection space. During operation, the secondary conveyor belt conveys the chili pepper fruit containing impurities to the collection storage area. During the conveying process, the cross-flow fan device 22 below the secondary conveyor belt introduces air to form a continuous upward airflow. The airflow carries the impurities outwards from the impurity outlet 24.

[0031] Furthermore, the cross-flow fan device 22 includes a fan 221 and a guide duct 222. The guide duct 222 covers the periphery of the fan 221 and has multiple upward and diverging air ducts to achieve upward airflow.

[0032] The material storage area is equipped with a storage bin 31, the top of which is a feeding hopper 311. The top feeding hopper 311 of the storage bin is located below the tail of the secondary conveyor belt 21, thereby receiving the chili peppers after impurities have been removed from the secondary conveyor belt 21.

[0033] Furthermore, the chili harvester also includes a driver's seat 4, which is located above and in front of the impurity blowing and conveying area. The driver's seat 4 is equipped with a steering wheel 42, a gear lever 41, brakes, and other operating components for controlling the movement of the vehicle.

[0034] Furthermore, the chili harvester also includes a monitoring seat 5, which is located on the side of the storage bin 31. The monitoring personnel sit in the monitoring seat to observe whether the chilies are falling into the storage bin in real time and whether it is normal.

[0035] Furthermore, the chili harvester is driven by a combination of electric motor and diesel engine. The diesel engine drives the wheels 7 of the vehicle body through a mechanical transmission assembly, providing strong power and ensuring smooth operation of the vehicle body. Preferably, the diesel engine 61 is located below the cross-flow fan device 22 in the impurity blowing and conveying area, and is separated by a partition cover 62. The primary conveyor belt, secondary conveyor belt, spiral shaft, and cross-flow fan device are each driven by their respective motors 63, which not only facilitates control but also reduces the number of mechanical transmission components.

[0036] For ease of explanation, spatial relative terms such as “up,” “down,” “left,” and “right” are used in the embodiments to describe the relationship of one element or feature shown in the figures relative to another element or feature. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientations shown in the figures, spatial terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation.
