[0008] The top of the shovel mechanism is provided with an upward-facing collection box. One side of the opening of the collection box is hinged to one side of the top of the shovel mechanism, and Angelica sinensis enters the collection box along the shovel mechanism. The other side of the opening of the collection box is provided with a first connecting rod, and the other end of the first connecting rod is detachably fixed to the moving mechanism.

[0009] Preferably, the shovel mechanism includes a stacking plate and a shovel tooth plate, the shovel tooth plate is located at the bottom of the stacking plate, and the included angle between the shovel tooth plate and the stacking plate is an obtuse angle. Both sides of the shovel mechanism are provided with outwardly protruding baffles, which are arranged along the sides of the shovel tooth plate and the stacking plate.

[0010] More preferably, the spade tooth plate, the stacking plate, and the baffle are integrally formed.

[0011] More preferably, the filter holes are strip-shaped and are arranged at equal intervals on the stacking plate.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the drive mechanisms includes a rotating shaft that horizontally passes through all the filter soil holes in sequence, and the rotating shaft forms a rotational engagement with each filter soil hole. A motor is provided on the side of the stacking plate at a position corresponding to the rotating shaft, and the output shaft of the motor forms a coaxial linkage engagement with the rotating shaft. Several rollers are coaxially sleeved and fixed on the exposed section of the rotating shaft located in the filter soil holes.

[0019] This utility model installs a shovel mechanism at the front end of a moving mechanism to form a front shovel. During the movement, the shovel shovels soil, allowing the soil containing angelica to accumulate in front of the shovel. The loose soil is then filtered out through the soil filter holes, leaving only the angelica containing soil. Once a certain amount has accumulated, the angelica is collected in a collection box. Multiple angelica can be harvested at once, improving efficiency and truly achieving automatic harvesting. Personnel no longer need to turn the soil and pick it up. At the same time, the shovel increases the width of the soil being lifted, allowing multiple rows of planting lines to be harvested simultaneously.

[0020] The device accelerates the soil through the filter holes and the accumulation of angelica into the collection box through the drive mechanism, ensuring the efficiency of automatic harvesting. At the same time, it avoids the large accumulation of angelica in front of the shovel plate, which would affect the stacking effect and harvesting efficiency, thus accelerating the harvest and improving the harvesting efficiency.

[0032] The embodiments will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] like Figures 1-4As shown in the preferred embodiment 1, a harvesting device for Angelica sinensis includes a shovel mechanism 1. The shovel mechanism 1 is installed at the front end of a moving mechanism and cooperates with the moving mechanism to form a shovel. Both sides of the shovel mechanism 1 are connected to the moving mechanism through second connecting rods 5. The other end of the second connecting rods 5 is detachably fixed to the moving mechanism. The shovel mechanism 1 is evenly provided with a plurality of soil filter holes 2. A plurality of driving mechanisms 6 are provided in the soil filter holes 2. Angelica sinensis and soil are piled up along the shovel mechanism 1 and form a linkage with the driving mechanisms 6 to move upward along the soil and the shovel mechanism 1.

[0034] The top of the shovel mechanism 1 is provided with an upward-facing collection box 3. One side of the opening of the collection box 3 is hinged to one side of the top of the shovel mechanism 1, and Angelica sinensis enters the collection box 3 along the shovel mechanism 1. The other side of the opening of the collection box 3 is provided with a first connecting rod 4, and the other end of the first connecting rod 4 is detachably fixed to the moving mechanism.

[0035] Example 1 provides a harvesting device for Angelica sinensis, which uses an existing mobile mechanism as a power source. The shovel mechanism 1 is installed with the mobile mechanism through the second connecting rod 5, so that the bottom of the shovel mechanism 1 is inserted into the soil and forms a shovel. The position of the shovel mechanism 1 is fixed by the fixed telescopic mechanism 6, and the other side of the collection box 3 is installed with the mobile mechanism through the first connecting rod 4.

[0036] As the moving mechanism moves forward, the shovel mechanism 1 scoops up the soil containing angelica in front of it. The soil containing angelica accumulates in front of the shovel mechanism 1 and rises along it. During this process, the drive mechanism 6 rotates upward, causing the accumulated angelica and soil to move upward along the shovel mechanism 1 in a timely manner, accelerating the accumulation. Loose soil is accelerated out of the filter hole 2 by the rotation of the drive mechanism 6 and returns to the shoveled ground, while the angelica containing soil continues to accumulate until it reaches a certain level, flips over the shovel mechanism 1, and falls into the collection box 3. The rotation of the drive mechanism 6 can accelerate the accumulation of angelica into the collection box 3, preventing the angelica from accumulating in front of the shovel mechanism 1 without entering the collection box 3. After the shovel mechanism 1 has shoveled a section of land, the angelica containing soil in front of the shovel mechanism 1 and in the collection box 3 is collected, and any omissions are checked along the way. After all the soil containing angelica is collected, the shovel mechanism 1 is used to scoop up the soil containing angelica in the next section, improving the harvesting efficiency and avoiding damage to the angelica.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment 2, the shovel mechanism 1 includes a stacking plate 102 and a shovel tooth plate 101. The shovel tooth plate 101 is located at the bottom of the stacking plate 102, and the included angle between the shovel tooth plate 101 and the stacking plate 102 is an obtuse angle. Both sides of the shovel mechanism 1 are provided with outwardly protruding baffles 103, which are arranged along the sides of the shovel tooth plate 101 and the stacking plate 102. The shovel tooth plate 101 is used to shovel soil, lifting up the soil containing angelica. The stacking plate 102 is used to accumulate the soil containing angelica in front, and to allow the angelica to accumulate upwards along the stacking plate 102. The baffles 103 prevent the accumulated angelica from falling out from both sides, allowing the angelica to continuously accumulate upwards along the stacking plate 102.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment 3, the shovel tooth plate 101, the stacking plate 102, and the baffle 103 are integrally formed, ensuring the rigidity and stability of the shovel plate mechanism 1.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment 4, the filter holes 2 are strip-shaped and evenly spaced on the stacking plate 102. These holes are used to remove loose soil shoveled up during the stacking process, leaving only the angelica root containing soil on the stacking plate 102. The size of the filter holes 2 must not exceed the size of the smallest common angelica root individual to prevent leakage.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment 5, each drive mechanism 6 includes a rotating shaft 602, which horizontally passes through all the filter holes 2 in sequence, and the rotating shaft 602 forms a rotational engagement with each filter hole 2. A motor 601 is provided on the side of the stacking plate 102 at a position corresponding to the rotating shaft 602. The output shaft of the motor 601 forms a coaxial linkage engagement with the rotating shaft 602. Several rollers 603 are coaxially sleeved and fixed on the exposed section of the rotating shaft 602 located in the filter hole 2. The rollers 603 are evenly distributed along the axial direction, and each roller 603 forms a linkage with the corresponding rotating shaft 602.

[0041] The motor 601 provides driving force to drive the rotating shaft 602. The rotation of the rotating shaft 602 drives the roller 603 to rotate synchronously in the filter hole 2. The rotation of the roller 603 drives the angelica and soil to move upward along the stacking plate 102. During the movement of the soil, it is carried into the filter hole 2 by the roller 603 to accelerate the filtration and reduce the soil in the collection box 3. At the same time, it also accelerates the entry of angelica into the collection box 3 to avoid excessive accumulation and affect the harvesting effect.

[0042] As a preferred embodiment 6, one side of the roller 603 exposes the filter hole 2, and a rubber pad 604 is fitted on the outer wall of the roller 603 to increase friction and facilitate the movement of soil and angelica. Each of the stacking plates 102 corresponding to the motor 601 is provided with a protective shell 605, which covers the corresponding motor 601 and protects the motor 601 during the harvesting process, preventing the motor 601 from directly contacting the soil. By making the protective shell 605 into a certain streamlined shape or inclined surface, it can also guide the soil, reduce the stress on the motor 601 during the harvesting process, and protect the motor 601.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment 7, the driving mechanisms 6 are evenly distributed along the stacked plate 102 to ensure the driving effect and allow the angelica root to move continuously. Gaps are left between the rollers 603 of adjacent driving mechanisms 6 within the same filter hole 2 to allow soil to pass through the filter hole 2, ensuring sufficient space for soil to be filtered out.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment 8, the second connecting rod 5 includes a second rod body 501. One end of the second rod body 501 is provided with a limiting head 502, and a limiting block 504 is provided at the middle position of the side wall of the baffle 103. The limiting head 502 and the limiting block 504 form a detachable limiting and fixing fit. The other end of the second rod body 501 is provided with a second connecting piece 503, which is aligned and connected to the moving mechanism. The stacking plate 102 is clamped between the two limiting heads 502. This ensures the fixed installation of the stacking plate 102 and guarantees stability during the harvesting process.

[0045] Preferably, the limiting block 504 can be made into a cross-shaped protrusion, and the limiting head 502 is provided with a through hole that matches the limiting block 504. After the limiting block 504 is embedded in the through hole on the limiting head 502, the limiting head 502 is installed on the stacking plate 102 by fasteners.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment 9, the collection box 3 includes a box body 301 with an open top. One side of the opening of the box body 301 is hinged to the top back side of the stacking plate 102, and the other side of the box body 301 is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 4. The bottom of the box body 301 is evenly provided with a plurality of elongated holes 302. The position of the box body 301 can be adaptively adjusted according to the change of the shovel mechanism 1. Both sides are provided with hinged structures to ensure that the angelica can fall into the box body 301. The bottom of the box body 301 is evenly provided with a plurality of elongated holes 302 for secondary soil screening, minimizing the soil content of the collected angelica and reducing the amount of subsequent cleaning work. The shaking generated during the movement provides driving force for soil screening.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment 10, there are two first connecting rods 4, symmetrically arranged about the middle position of the housing 301. Each first connecting rod 4 includes a first rod body 401, one end of which is fixedly engaged with the housing 301, and the other end of which is provided with a first mating part 402, which is aligned and connected to the moving mechanism. This ensures the fixed installation of the housing 301 and guarantees the stability of the housing 301 during use.

[0048] As a preferred embodiment 11, the back side of the stacking plate 102 is provided with a third docking member 8. The third docking member 8 is installed with the third docking member 8 on the moving mechanism through the auxiliary support rod 7 to form an auxiliary support cooperation, preventing the force from being concentrated on the second connecting rod 5, further ensuring the stability during use, and ensuring the support of the stacking plate 102.

[0049] The working principle of this utility model:

[0050] A harvesting device for Angelica sinensis uses an existing mobile mechanism as a power source. The shovel mechanism 1 is installed with the mobile mechanism via a second connecting rod 5, so that the bottom of the shovel mechanism 1 is inserted into the soil and forms a shovel engagement. The position of the shovel mechanism 1 is fixed by a fixed telescopic mechanism 6, and the other side of the collection box 3 is installed with the mobile mechanism via a first connecting rod 4.

[0051] As the moving mechanism moves forward, the shovel mechanism 1 scoops up the soil containing angelica in front of it. The soil containing angelica accumulates in front of the shovel mechanism 1 and rises along it. During this process, the drive mechanism 6 rotates upward, causing the accumulated angelica and soil to move upward along the shovel mechanism 1 in a timely manner, accelerating the accumulation. Loose soil is accelerated out of the filter hole 2 by the rotation of the drive mechanism 6 and returns to the shoveled ground, while the angelica containing soil continues to accumulate until it reaches a certain level, flips over the shovel mechanism 1, and falls into the collection box 3. The rotation of the drive mechanism 6 can accelerate the accumulation of angelica into the collection box 3, preventing the angelica from accumulating in front of the shovel mechanism 1 without entering the collection box 3. After the shovel mechanism 1 has shoveled a section of land, the angelica containing soil in front of the shovel mechanism 1 and in the collection box 3 is collected, and any omissions are checked along the way. After all the soil containing angelica is collected, the shovel mechanism 1 is used to scoop up the soil containing angelica in the next section, improving the harvesting efficiency and avoiding damage to the angelica.
