Abstract
In order to solve the problem of low success rate and high damage of spinach in mechanized harvesting process, a spinach continuous harvester was designed. The harvester mainly consists of holding mechanism, clamping mechanism, cutting mechanism and walking mechanism. It can realize the joint operation of collecting and supporting the spinach, cutting the roots under the ground, transporting the spinach and collecting the spinach. The harvester has the advantages of compact structure, complete function and strong adaptability. Experimental results showed that the success rate of this machine is 95%, and the damage rate is less than 5%, which can meet the requirement of harvest.
