PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a soybean harvesting machine which plucks soybean pods from soybeans cultivated in a field, and which decreases a harvest loss of plucked soybean pods to increase a harvest ratio.SOLUTION: A harvesting machine 100 which harvests soybeans 1 cultivated in a field while traveling with a travel device 10 includes a plucking device 20 which plucks soybean pods 2 from the soybeans 1 by going up and down following the ground G where the soybeans 1 are planted, a transportation conveyor 30 which transports the plucked soybean pods 2, a selecting device 40 which selects the soybean pods 2 and branches and leaves 3, and a housing container 50 for housing the soybean pods 2. The plucking device 20 is supported on a supporting member 29 which is rotatably supported on a lower frame 13 of the travel device 10. The transportation conveyor 30 is rotatably supported on the supporting member 29 so as to go up and down with the elevation operation of the plucking device 20.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】圃場に栽培された枝豆から枝豆莢をもぎ取る枝豆収穫機において、もぎ取った枝豆莢の収穫損失を減らし、収穫率を高めた枝豆収穫機を提供する。【解決手段】走行装置10により走行しながら、圃場に栽培されている枝豆1を収穫する収穫機100において、枝豆1が植えられている地面Gに追従して昇降し、枝豆1から枝豆莢2をもぎ取るもぎ取り装置20と、もぎ取られた枝豆莢2を搬送する搬送コンベア30と、枝豆莢2と枝葉3を選別する選別装置40と、枝豆莢2を収容する収容コンテナ50を備える。もぎ取り装置20は走行装置30の下フレーム13に回動可能に支持された支持部材29に支持させる。搬送コンベア30は、もぎ取り装置20の昇降動作に合わせて昇降するように支持部材29に回動可能に支持させる。【選択図】図1
