PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a leek harvester that can prevent the sagging of a leek and the interference with the other object.SOLUTION: As each working unit, a harvest unit comprises: a digging-up unit for digging up a leek a conveyance unit for holding the middle of the leek dug up by the digging-up unit and conveying the leek held toward a rear upper part as in a standing posture and a posture change/alignment unit for taking over the leek conveyed in the standing posture from the terminal of the conveyance unit, holding the middle of the leek taken, and changing the posture of the leek held and aligning it from the standing posture to an inclined posture inclined to the outside. The posture change/alignment unit is configured to convey the leek from a traveling machine body toward the outside rear being gradually separated at one side of the traveling machine body while performing the posture change/alignment of the leek. In the leaf side and the rhizome side of the leek held in the middle by the posture change/alignment unit, a leaf side guide and a rhizome side guide extending along the posture change/alignment unit are disposed, respectively, and the leaf side and the rhizome side of the leek is guided from the lower part by each guide.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 10COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】ねぎの垂れ下がりや他物との干渉を回避することができるねぎ収穫機を提供すること。【解決手段】収穫部は、各作業部として、ねぎを掘り起こす掘り起こし部と、掘り起こし部により掘り起こしたねぎの中途部を挟持して、挟持したねぎを起立姿勢のまま後上方へ向けて搬送する搬送部と、搬送部の終端部から起立姿勢で搬送されたねぎを受け継ぐとともに、受け継いだねぎの中途部を挟持して、挟持したねぎを起立姿勢から外側方へ傾斜した傾倒姿勢に姿勢変更・整列させる姿勢変更・整列部と、を具備し、姿勢変更・整列部は、ねぎを姿勢変更・整列しながら走行機体の一側において走行機体から漸次離隔する外後方へ向けて搬送するようにし、姿勢変更・整列部に中途部が挟持されたねぎの葉部側と根茎部側には、それぞれ姿勢変更・整列部に沿って延伸する葉部側ガイド体と根茎部側ガイド体を配設して、各ガイド体によりねぎの葉部側と根茎部側を下方からガイドするようにした。【選択図】図10
