PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a head-forming vegetable harvester which is made compact in full length while considering the selecting workability and preparing workability of a head-forming vegetable.SOLUTION: A head-forming vegetable harvester 1 comprises a harvesting work portion 13 for pulling out and cutting head-forming vegetables A in front of a running machine body 2 and conveying back the same, and a preparing conveyor portion 14 for selecting and preparing the head-forming vegetables A while transporting the same at the back of the harvesting work portion 13. The preparing conveyor portion 14 includes an elongated selecting conveyor 25 arranged at the back of the harvesting work portion 13, a preparing conveyor 26 arranged in parallel on one transverse side of the selecting conveyor 25, and an accumulating conveyor 27 for receiving the head-forming vegetables A from the preparing conveyor 26 and accumulating the same. The accumulating conveyor 27 is arranged to extend in transverse directions at the back of the preparing conveyor 26.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】結球野菜収穫機1において、結球野菜Aの選別作業性及び調製作業性に配慮しながら、結球野菜収穫機1の全長のコンパクト化を図る。【解決手段】本願発明の結球野菜収穫機1は、走行機体2の前方で結球野菜Aを引き抜いて切断し後方に搬送する収穫作業部13と、収穫作業部13の後方で結球野菜Aを搬送しながら選別調製する調製搬送部14とを備える。調製搬送部14は、収穫作業部13の後方に配置された前後長手の選別用コンベヤ25と、選別用コンベヤ25の左右一側方に並列状に配置された調製用コンベヤ26と、調製用コンベヤ26から結球野菜Aを受け継いで集積する集積用コンベヤ27とを備える。集積用コンベヤ27は調製用コンベヤ26の後部側に左右方向に延びるように配置される。【選択図】図2
