Current situation and prospect of mechanized harvesting of rhizome Chinese medicinal materials
In recent years,the Chinese herbal medicine economy has developed rapidly,and the industrial scale has expanded year by year.Among them,rhizome Chinese medicinal materials are one of the important medicinal materi-als resources in the field of traditional Chinese medicine,which is almost planted in every province in China,but at present,the harvest of rhizome Chinese medicinal materials still relies on traditional manual labor,time-consuming and laborious,low efficiency,lack of mature and modern harvesting machinery for different regions and different cul-tivars.Farmers'cognition and acceptance of modern harvesting machinery is low,resulting in a low penetration rate of mechanized harvesting,which seriously restricts the development of rhizome Chinese medicinal materials industry,limiting its potential market scale and economic benefits.This paper will mainly describe the planting distribution of rhizome traditional Chinese medicine in China,the progress made in mechanized harvesting of rhizome traditional Chinese medicine at home and abroad,the research situation of key components digging shovel,digging mechanism,separation and conveying mechanism,and analyze the problems existing in mechanized harvesting of rhizome tradi-tional Chinese medicine.Finally,the research focus and main direction of mechanized harvesting of rhizome Chinese medicinal materials were prospected.To provide reference for the research of rhizome harvesting machine in China,and promote the improvement of rhizome harvesting mechanization level.
