Water chestnut harvesting method and device

Abstract

The invention discloses a water chestnut harvesting method and a water chestnut harvesting device. The harvesting process is a process where mature water chestnuts are dug and separated from soil. Specifically, water in a water chestnut field is discharged; the stems of the water chestnuts are cut along a ground level; the water chestnut field is naturally dried until a soil water content is lower than 20%; with a water chestnut harvester, the water chestnuts are plowed from the field, and the water chestnuts are separated from the soil by sieving; and the water chestnuts are placed in bags or crates, such that water chestnut harvesting is complete. With the harvesting method and device, water chestnut harvesting rate is high, and water chestnut damage is low. The device has the advantages of sufficient power, good off-road performance, smooth travelling, and low failure rate. With the device, water chestnut harvesting efficiency is greatly improved, and labor cost is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and equipment for harvesting crops, in particular to a method and equipment for harvesting water chestnuts. Background technique [0002] Water chestnut (Pinyin: bí qí English: water chestnut scientific name: Eleocharis dulcis), also known as horseshoe, water chestnut, peony, chrysanthemum, black taro, bodhisattva, ground pear, is a kind of water chestnut in Cyperaceae. Water chestnuts of Cyperaceae are shallow watery perennial herbs, edible bulbs are used as vegetables. As we all know, water chestnuts are a crop planted in shallow moist soil, and the tips of the stolons that grow underground expand into corms, which are widely eaten as fruits or vegetables because of their high nutritional content; the corms of horseshoes Most of them grow 20-25cm below the surface of the ground, and the harvesting of horseshoes is mostly done manually. This harvesting method is not only labor-intensive and low-efficiency, but also o...
