PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a green soybean harvester having improved harvest yield of green soybean pod and reduced labor and power consumption in a sorting workpiece after picking workpiece by removing most part of stalks and leaves before picking the green soybean pods from green soybean plants cultured on a field.SOLUTION: The harvester harvesting the green soybean 1 cultured on the field G while traveling with a traveling device 20 is provided with a foreign material removing device 30 which is arranged in front of the traveling device 20 based on the traveling direction and cuts and removes an upper stalks and leaves 3 of the green soybean plant 1. As an embodiment, the harvester is provided with the foreign material removing device 30 to cut and remove the upper stalks and leaves 3 of the green soybean plant 1, a picking device 50 to pick off the green soybean pods 2 from the green soybean plant 1, a transfer conveyor 70 to transfer the picked green soybean pod 2, a winnowing fan 80 to sort the green soybean pods 2 from the stalks and leaves 3, and a holding container 90 to hold the sorted green soybean pods 2. The foreign material removing device 30 is attached in front of the picking device 50.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】圃場に栽培された枝豆から枝豆莢をもぎ取る前に大部分の枝葉を除去して、枝豆莢の収穫率の向上、また、もぎ取り後の選別作業の労力軽減と省力化を図れる枝豆収穫機を提供する。【解決手段】走行装置20により走行しながら、圃場Gに栽培されている枝豆1を収穫する収穫機において、走行装置20の進行方向前方に枝豆1の上部枝葉部3を切断除去する夾雑物除去装置30を備える。また、枝豆1の上部枝葉部3を切断除去する夾雑物除去装置30と、枝豆1より枝豆莢2をもぎ取るもぎ取り装置50と、もぎ取られた枝豆莢2を搬送する搬送コンベア70と、枝豆莢2と枝葉3”を選別する風選ファン80と、選別された枝豆莢2を収容する収容コンテナ90とを備え、夾雑物除去装置30をもぎ取り装置50の前方に取り付ける。【選択図】図1
