By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional root vegetable binder, the transfer body with the transfer protrusion is configured to move synchronously with the conveyor, but the transfer body with the transfer protrusion and the conveyor are not connected to each other. The following problems arise because they are installed in parallel. While the roots are placed on the conveyor and conveyed at the transition of the conveyor, the foliage is engaged with the conveyance projections while being in sliding contact with the guide plate, so that the conveyance body with the conveyance projections and the conveyor move synchronously. However, the foliage actually has a sliding contact resistance with the guide plate, so the transition tends to be delayed and it tends to spread to the rear of the transfer,
In addition, the root portion is simply placed on the conveyor, and it is difficult to determine the position in the middle of the conveyance, and thus, the posture of the root vegetables at the time of binding is disturbed, and it is easy to cause a binding error. The present invention has been made in view of such a problem.
An object of the present invention is to obtain a root vegetable binder improved so that the root vegetables are transported and supplied to the binding machine in a uniform posture and a good binding process without a binding error is performed.

[0004]

That is, the binder for root vegetables in the present invention comprises a conveyor for placing and transferring the roots of the root vegetables in a horizontal state, and gradually moves toward the lower side of the conveyor with respect to the conveyor. Root crops having a transfer body with a transfer protrusion for tilting and transporting the foliage that is inclined so as to have a large separation distance, and a binding machine having a knot portion located between the conveyor and the transfer body with the transfer protrusion. In the binder for the binder, a positioning holding unit having a curved concave surface into which the foliage base adjacent to the neck of the root crop is provided is provided at the ear of the conveyor that moves on the opposite side of the transfer body with the conveyance protrusion across the knot. The positioning and holding portion is configured to pass through the knot portion while being maintained in a predetermined relative positional relationship with the transport projection of the transfer body with the transport projection.
