The invention discloses a
fully automatic cotton picker, comprising a
machine body as well as a cotton picking apparatus, an
impurity separating apparatus and a clean cotton storage apparatus which are arranged on the
machine body. A picking head in a needle wheel
barrel structure is adopted and passes through a gap in a
free state of cotton plants horizontally. The cotton plants during the cotton picking process are not over squeezed so that the cotton plants are not destroyed. During leafiness period, cotton leaves and flowers are not destroyed when cotton is picked. Therefore, the cotton can be picked for many times step by step and divided into classes; the cotton picked during picking is prevented from being polluted, and the
impurity ratio of the cotton is reduced; the cotton picking head automatically rotates within 360 degrees, thereby ensuring the cotton picking ratio; cotton
fiber during transportation is not destroyed to ensure quality of the cotton; the
impurity separating apparatus separates the cotton due to
density contrast of the cotton and impurities thoroughly and conveys the clean cotton by using a spiral rod, thereby improving quality of the clean cotton; the cost of cotton picking and the subsequent
machining cost are reduced. The cotton picker is small in volume, light in weight and low in manufacturing cost.
