を生じていた。DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention After harvesting vegetables, they are generally film-packaged, shipped and sold in order to maintain their freshness and prevent damage to soft outer leaves. In particular, the market value of wounded outer leaves is significantly reduced. In the conventional mechanical harvesting, since the mowing is done on the ground basis, there is a large difference in the length of the stem remaining in the harvested vegetables due to unevenness of the vegetation soil surface, variations in the length of the stems of the jade-shaped vegetables, etc. .
【0004】茎部が長く残ったものについては、フィル

作業などで切断していた。When the stem portion remains long, the film is easily pierced during packaging and the vegetables are easily scratched. Therefore, in order to make the stem lengths short after harvesting, they had to be cut manually again.

成とする。According to the present invention, the stalk of a bead-shaped vegetable 4 such as cabbage, Chinese cabbage, etc. is scooped and guided along the rearwardly-inclined slope A by the traveling of the machine body 1.
Height sensor 3 that detects the height position of the cutter, a cutter 11 that cuts the vegetables 4 detected by the height sensor 3 with the stem, and the cutter 11 is controlled to move up and down by the detection of these height sensors 3. The vegetable harvesting machine is composed of an elevating device that maintains and controls so that a certain position of the stem is cut off.

下降させる。When the machine body 1 moves forward along the ridges in which the vegetables 4 grow, the height sensor 3 is provided close to the soil surface.
Scoops the stem of the beaded vegetable 4 into the V-shaped groove and moves forward while guiding. When the bottom of the vegetables 4 comes into contact with the inclined surface A of the scooping guide of the height sensor 3, the height sensor 3 is pushed down, its movement is detected, and the lifting device is operated to attach the height sensor 3 to the mounting portion. The cutter 11 provided integrally is lowered.

設定位置迄上昇させて、次の収穫に備える。When the bottom of the vegetable 4 has finished passing the inclined surface A of the height sensor 3 in this way, the upper surface of the height sensor 3 indicates the height of the bottom of the vegetable 4, and the height sensor 3
The cutter 11 installed at a slightly lower position behind the
The stem of the vegetable 4 can be cut with a short length and a certain length. When the vegetables 4 are cut off from the stalk and sent backward, the height sensor 3 returns to its original position, detects the upward movement and activates the lifting device, and moves the mounting portion of the height sensor 3 and the cutter 11 to the set position. Raise and prepare for the next harvest.

せず、高さセンサー3の構成を簡単化できる。As described above, the height sensor 3 accurately detects the height of the vegetable 4 while guiding the stem of the vegetable 4 along the rearwardly inclined surface A by scooping up the stem. Since the cutting action position of the cutter 11 located at the rear of the height sensor 3 is controlled, the stalks of the vegetables 4 can be cut at a short fixed position, and double cutting after harvesting is required. Therefore, the configuration of the height sensor 3 can be simplified.

に送られる。At the start of the work, the machine body 1 is advanced along with the vegetation row of the vegetables 4 and the harvesting device 2 is lowered so that the gate-shaped harvesting frame 21 straddles the ridge, and the height sensor 3 has a V groove. The tip position is set to a height at which the relatively upper part of the stem of the beaded vegetable 4 is sandwiched, and this height is stored in the controller 15. When moving forward in this state, the height sensor 3 advances while guiding the stalks of the savory vegetables 4 in its V groove, and the stalks reach the inclined surface A inclining forward of the height sensor 3 and the syrups 4 When the bottom part of the sensor contacts the height sensor 3, the height sensor 3 is pushed down and the height sensor shaft 23 rotates, and the rotation direction and angle are detected by the rotation angle detection unit 16, and the controller 15

て切断することとなる。The controller 15 switches the hydraulic valve and the like by calculating from the traveling speed, the rotation angle, the sensor shape, etc., controls the hydraulic flow rate, operates the hydraulic cylinder 5, and raises and lowers the reaping device 2. As a result, when the bottom of the vegetables 4 has finished passing the inclined surface A of the height sensor 3, the height of the upper surface of the height sensor 3 indicates the height of the bottom of the edible vegetables 4. The cutter 11, which is provided slightly below the height sensor 3 with a distance D, cuts the stem portion of the egg-shaped vegetable 4 while leaving a short and constant length.

い。When the bead-shaped vegetables 4 are cut off from the stem and sent to the rear, the height sensor 3 is returned and rotated by the spring 18, and the rotation angle detection unit 16 detects that it has returned to the set angle, The controller 15 controls the cutting device 2 up to the stored height.
Move up and down to prepare for the next harvest. In the embodiment, the height sensor 3 and the cutter 11 are provided on the same frame 21 moved up and down by the hydraulic cylinder 5, but the height sensor 3 is different from the frame 21 moved up and down by the hydraulic cylinder 5. It may be mounted on a frame so that it can be raised and lowered.
