AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
The existing agricultural crop harvesters require multiple workers to manually select crops from soil blocks, leading to a heavy workload and low efficiency.
Method used
The agricultural crop harvester incorporates a traveling body, an unloading conveyor, a chute with an inclined surface, a soil block conveyor, a sorter, and a soil mass crushing mechanism. The crops are excavated and transported with soil blocks, then separated using the chute and sorter, with the soil mass crushing mechanism handling excess soil.
Benefits of technology
This design reduces the workload for workers and improves efficiency by automating the crop selection process, allowing for fewer personnel and increased productivity during harvesting.

Abstract
To provide a crop harvester capable of reducing a workload of a worker and improving working efficiency.SOLUTION: A crop harvester includes a traveling body 11 traveling along a ridge UN, a carry-out conveyor 12 for carrying out crops NS dug out from the ridge UN to the ground together with the clods TK by the traveling body 11 traveling along the ridge UN, a chute 13 receiving the crops NS carried out by the carry-out conveyor 12 on an inclined surface 13M and rolling them, and a sorter 15 provided in a state, with a gap SK spaced toward the inclined surface 13. The sorter 15 guides the crops NS rolling on the inclined surface 13M with a guide surface 15M and dropping them from the lateral side of the chute 13, while dropping the clods TK rolling on the inclined surface 13M from the chute 13 through the gap SK toward the inclined surface 13M, so as to sort the crops NS from the clogs TK.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
