PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a harvester that can reliably pull out root crops such as carrots and bulbs such as onions and garlics and can be downsized.SOLUTION: A root crop harvester comprises holding and conveying means 3 for holding stems and leaves of root crops K from the right and the left, pulling out them, and conveying them. The holding and conveying means 3 comprises: pull-out belts 110 and 110 for holding the root crops K from the right and the left and pulling out them and conveying belts 120 and 120 for receiving the root crops K pulled out by the pull-out belts 110 and 110, holding them, and conveying them. Front end parts of the conveying belts 120 and 120 are arranged under rear end parts of the pull-out belts 110 and 110, and a region in which the pull-out belts 110 and 110 overlap with the conveying belts 120 and 120 in a planar view of the holding and conveying means 3 is set as a receiving part 13.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】本発明は、人参等の根野菜類や、タマネギ、ニンニク等の球根類の引き抜き作業を確実に実行できるとともに小型化を図ることのできる収穫機を提供することを目的とするものである。【解決手段】本発明の根菜収穫機は、根菜類Kの茎葉部を左右から挟持して引き抜き搬送する挟持搬送手段3を備える。そして、挟持搬送手段3が、根菜類Kを左右から挟持して引き抜く引き抜きベルト110,110と、該引き抜きベルト110,110で引き抜かれた根菜類Kを受けて挟持搬送する搬送ベルト120,120と、を備える。また、搬送ベルト120,120の前端部が引き抜きベルト110,110の後端部の下側に配置され、挟持搬送手段3を平面視して引き抜きベルト110,110と搬送ベルト120,120とが重なる領域を根菜類Kの受継部13とする。【選択図】図4
