Design of Multi-Functional Intelligent Combined Scallion Harvester
[Purposes]The traditional scallion harvesting method is manual mining,which costs a large amount of labor and has low efficiency.Therefore,the quality of harvesting can not be guaranteed,and it is difficult to meet the demand of scallion harvesting.The market urgently needs a scallion harvester that can replace human labor and is suitable for large-scale automatic harvesting.Combined with the agro-nomic requirements and planting mode of scallion planting,this study proposed to develop and design a multi-functional intelligent combined scallion harvester.[Methods]The harvester is mainly composed of soil shifting mechanism,guiding structure,hinge one-way anti-toppling structure,cutting and smoothing mechanism,flexible clamping mechanism,quantitative turning mechanism,rolling mechanism,shaking soil collection device,etc.,and the machine is controlled by remote control to realize intelligent harvest integration.[Findings]The harvester is proved to have the advantages of compact structure,strong insti-tutional stability,low scallion damage rate and high collection efficiency through practical test.[Conclu-sions]The harvesting can improve the harvesting quality and harvesting efficiency of scallion,signifi-cantly reduce the labour cost of scallion harvesting,and promote the development of scallion harvesting mechanization,which has important practical significance and broad promotion prospects.
