摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a peanut-harvesting apparatus enabling peanuts to be stably inverted upside down and the grounded posture of peanuts to be stabilized.;SOLUTION: The peanut-harvesting apparatus 1 includes: a nipping conveyor belt 3 pulling row-planted peanuts P to be harvested off the farm H and conveying them rearwardly upward; and an inverting part 4 inverting upside down peanuts P received from the conveyance terminal end of the nipping conveyor belt 3 and grounding them on the farm H; and is installed on a machine body 9 travellable astride the ridges of the farm H. In this apparatus 1, the nipping conveyor belt 3 is so constructed that: the conveyance path for peanuts P is U-turned, when viewed nearly from above, at the rear and the peanuts P are unloaded from the conveyance terminal end forwardly; and the inverting part 4 is so constructed that: peanuts P received are inverted upside down by moving them so that the moving speed thereof comes nearly equal to the traveling speed of the machine body 9 along a forwardly overhung nearly semicircular track R lying from the conveyance terminal end to a point nearly right thereunder, and then released and grounded onto the farm H.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT
