Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vegetable harvester for cabbage, Chinese cabbage and the like, which leaves leafy vegetables on the ground. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a vegetable harvesting machine of this kind, a crop is pulled out from a field while a lower portion of a vegetable crop is sandwiched from both left and right sides and transported upward and backward by a pulling and transporting device. At the end of the head, the head is cut off from the neck, and only the head is dropped onto the rear conveyor and collected. [0003] Since the root of a head of vegetable such as cabbage is short, the cutting process with the head is not easy, and there is a problem that the head is damaged by a cutter.
An object of the present invention is to facilitate the cutting process of a head portion and a shoot root portion. To achieve this goal, the following technical measures were taken. [0004] Means for Solving the Problems That is, the technical means according to the present invention, a conveying device 5 for transporting the upper rear sides of the Kukine of heading vegetables provided by the transport device 5 A cutter 13 for cutting the stem roots of the head vegetables is provided in the middle of the transport path, and the cutter 13 is provided above the transport device 5.

The sphere is directed in the transport direction of the transport device 5 and the transport device 5
Belts 16 and 17 that convey at a speed lower than the conveying speed of
Provided by the belts 16 and 17 and the transfer device 5
While changing the posture of the head in the direction away from the cutter 13
And transport the head vegetables to the cutting point by the cutter 13
A vegetable harvesting machine characterized by having such a configuration . [0005] In the vegetable harvester configured as described above, the transport device 5 is connected.
The ball vegetable is transported to the upper rear side with the stem root in between,
Inside, the cutter 13 cuts the stem root. For cutter 13
Before cutting of the root of the stem by the conveying device 5
Belts 16 and 17 act on the head portion of the head vegetables,
The head portion is transported by the transport device 5 by the belts 16 and 17 of FIG.
Speed toward the direction and lower than the transport speed of the transport device 5
Conveyed by. Therefore, the belts 16, 17 and
The direction in which the head is separated from the cutter 13 by the transport device 5
While the posture is changed to
Is transported to the cutting location where
The cutter 13 acts on it and cuts the stem root
You. [0006] Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for removing the root of a head vegetable.
A transport device 5 for transporting the sheet upward and rearward is provided.
In the middle of the transport route by the transport device 5, the roots of head vegetables
Because it is provided with a cutter 13 for cutting the part,
The cutter 13 is located at a position away from
Part of the cutter 13 is cut into the soil.
Long life of cutter 13 due to reduced wear due to penetration
And the cutter above the transfer device 5
13 on the upper side of the conveying device 5 in the conveying direction,
The sphere is directed in the transport direction of the transport device 5 and the transport device 5
Belts 16 and 17 that convey at a speed lower than the conveying speed of
Provided by the belts 16 and 17 and the transfer device 5
While changing the posture of the head in the direction away from the cutter 13
And transport the head vegetables to the cutting point by the cutter 13
Head transported by the transport device 5
It is possible to surely and properly cut the root of the vegetable . An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The vehicle body 1 includes a crawler-type traveling device 2, and the vehicle body 1
A driver's seat 3 and a control unit 4 are provided on one side of the upper front part.
A pull-out transport device 5 is provided from the lower front part to the upper rear part of the vehicle body 1. The pull-out transporting device 5 pulls out the head vegetables from the field while holding the lower stem portion of the head vegetables from the left and right, and transporting the head upward and rearward. Is provided. The apparatus 5 includes two opposing conveyor belts 6 and 7. 8 is a container, 9 is a lifting conveyor belt. In the middle of the transport path of the pull-out transport device 5, there is provided a tilt-position changing device 11 composed of a rotatable endless belt 10 for changing the head portion into a horizontal tilt position with respect to the stem root. . The endless belt 10 is wound around three pulleys 12, 12, 12, and the posture changing action portion 10 a is stretched so as to obliquely cross the conveyance path, and is the same as the conveyor belts 6, 7. It is configured to rotate in the direction of the arrow (a) at a high speed or a lower speed. Immediately after the posture changing action portion 10a of the endless belt 10, a disc-shaped cutter 13 that acts on and cuts the stem root is provided. Since the cutter 13 cuts the stem portion of the head vegetables exposed above the holding portion of the pulling and conveying device 5, the cutter 13 is installed between the endless belt 10 and the conveyor belts 6 and 7 which are vertically related. You. When the shoot root is cut by the cutter 13, the head is dropped on a lifting conveyor belt 9 provided on the side via an induction belt 14, and is lifted and conveyed to a rear container 8. Is stored. In addition, 15 is a fall prevention plate. The configuration shown in FIG. 6 will be described. A pair of conveyor belts 6 and 7 have a pair of clamping belts for clamping and transporting the head portion above a transporting device 5 for transporting the root portion of the head vegetable. The holding belts 16 and 17 are rotatably driven, and the conveying speed of the holding belts 16 and 17 is configured to be lower than that of the conveyor belts 6 and 7. According to this configuration, the shoot root portion of the head vegetable is conveyed in a state preceding the head portion, and when the shoot root is in the preceding state, the cutter 13 is actuated. The cutting action from the wire becomes easy. In other words, since the head portion is tilted forward and the stem root is ahead, the portion to be cut is wide open, and the head portion can be cut easily without damaging the head portion with a cutter. . Since the head is braked, the side of the stem that is to be cut is stretched and can be cut with a small force. The configuration shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 will be described.
A pre-harvest processing device 18 is arranged on the left side in the direction of the vehicle body, and a driver's seat 3 and a control unit 4 are arranged on the right side.
A lifting and conveying bucket conveyor 19 is disposed in the middle portion in the left and right width direction. A platform 20 is formed between the end of the pretreatment device 18 and the beginning of the bucket conveyor 19 as a communication passage for harvested products. A storage tank 21 is provided in the upper rear portion of the vehicle body. A guide plate 22 with a cushion is provided in the tank 21. The pre-harvest processing apparatus 18 includes a head transport conveyor 18a for nipping and transporting the head, a stem root transport 18b for nipping and pulling the stem, and a two-stage upper and lower conveyor 18a. , 18b for cutting the stem portion of the headed vegetables that are conveyed and that are conveyed. To explain the configuration shown in FIG. 9, a post-feeding bucket conveyor 23 for finishing cutting is disposed behind the lifting and conveying bucket conveyor 19,
The operator takes out the cabbage lifted and conveyed from the bucket conveyor 19 and loads the cabbage into the bucket 24 of the post-conveying bucket conveyor 23 with the stem portion downward. Then, during this conveyance, the cabbage is pressed downward by the pressing belt 26 from above, and the cutout hole 25 opened at the bottom of the bucket 24.
The cutting device 27 for finishing cutting which intervenes from outside operates to cut the outer leaves of the cabbage. The function of the presser belt 26 is to prevent the cabbage from rising when cutting the outer leaves. Then, when the guide roller 28 of the bucket 24 separates from the guide rail 29, the bucket 24 tilts to the side to drop the cabbage on the bed. Outer leaves remaining in the bucket are configured to be dropped and discharged from the bucket to a field below when the bucket is located on the lower side.
