The collecting device comprises a rotary cutter 1, a rotating shaft 2, a bearing seat 13 and a rotary cutter motor 12; the rotary cutter motor 12 is arranged at the bottom end of the screw rod 3 and is connected with the rotating shaft 2 through a bearing seat 13; the rotating shaft 2 is positioned between the two brackets 11 and is vertical to the screw rod 3;
the rotary cutter 1 comprises a baffle, an upper insertion part and a lower insertion part, wherein the upper insertion part and the lower insertion part are positioned at two ends of the baffle, the upper insertion part and the lower insertion part are both vertical to the baffle and opposite in extension direction, and the upper insertion part and the lower insertion part are both composed of two sharp teeth arranged at intervals; the rotary cutter 1 is arranged on the rotating shaft 2 and rotates along with the rotating shaft 2 in the same direction between the two brackets 11.
The end effector further comprises a transmission device, and the transmission device is positioned at the rear end of the end effector; the conveying device comprises a conveying belt 6, belt wheels positioned at two ends of the conveying belt 6 and a motor for driving the belt wheels to rotate in the same direction; the conveyor belt 6 is positioned between the two brackets 11 and below the rotary cutter 1; the belt wheel is parallel to the rotating shaft 2. One end of the conveying belt 6 is connected with the bottom of the rear part of the support 11 through a belt wheel, and the other end of the conveying belt extends to a designated cabbage collecting position.
As shown in figure 1, the diameter (A) of the root of the Chinese cabbage is about 40-60mm, the depth (B) of the root of the Chinese cabbage is about 50mm, the width (C) of the main body of the Chinese cabbage is about 200-400mm, and the overall height (D) of the Chinese cabbage is about 350-500 mm.
Before the start of work, the rotary cutter 1 is in a horizontal position and is positioned at the bottom end of the screw rod 3, the tractor drives the end effector to move forward, the rotary cutter 1 cannot rotate at the moment, two sharp teeth of the rotary cutter 1 are inserted into two sides of the root of the Chinese cabbage 14, and the direct contact with the body of the Chinese cabbage 14 is avoided, as shown in figure 3.
When the cabbage 14 abuts against the baffle on the vertical surface of the rotary cutter 1, the rotary cutter 1 is turned upwards, and simultaneously the lead screw motor 5 drives the lead screw 3 to rotate, so as to drive the rotary cutter 1 to move upwards, and the rotation and the movement of the rotary cutter 1 are simultaneously carried out, as shown in fig. 4.

Example 2
The structure is substantially the same as that of embodiment 1, except that a conveying device is not provided, as shown in fig. 7. The Chinese cabbage naturally slides down by gravity and directly falls on the ground, and the harvested Chinese cabbage is spread on the ground and then collected for the second time.
In summary, compared with the prior art, the end effector of the present invention has the following differences and advantages:
(1) the existing Chinese cabbage harvesting machine is a large-scale complete machine with a complicated mechanical structure or a harvesting operation machine matched with a tractor, is expensive and inconvenient to maintain, and cannot be borne by common vegetable growers; the invention can be hung by tractors of various types in front, has simplified structure and low cost, and is easy to be widely accepted by vegetable growers;
(2) the existing Chinese cabbage harvesting machines mostly adopt the way that double rollers rotate oppositely, the Chinese cabbage is held and pulled up and then is conveyed into a conveying belt, certain mechanical damage is caused to the Chinese cabbage, the rotting of the Chinese cabbage is accelerated, and the Chinese cabbage harvesting machines are not beneficial to transportation and storage; according to the invention, the two shovels extend to the two sides of the rhizome and are then turned over to be pulled up, so that the damage to the Chinese cabbage is reduced to the minimum extent;
(3) the existing partial Chinese cabbage harvesting machine cuts the root of the Chinese cabbage and then harvests the Chinese cabbage, so that the surface of the Chinese cabbage is easily damaged, and the Chinese cabbage root is left in soil to be subjected to secondary treatment, which wastes time and labor; the invention can pull up the Chinese cabbage with roots, thereby saving the process of cutting the roots and reducing the trouble of soil preparation.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiments illustrate rather than limit the scope of the invention, which is defined by the appended claims. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that certain insubstantial modifications and adaptations of the present invention can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
