PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a head-forming vegetable harvester capable of reducing necessity of washing and readjustment of a head-forming vegetable after harvest.SOLUTION: A head-forming vegetable harvester includes a harvest work part pulling out and cutting a head-forming vegetable A in a front part of a travel machine body to be conveyed to a rear part. The harvest work part includes: a rake-in wheel pulling out a head-forming vegetable A from a field a rhizome conveyance belt 17 holding and conveying to a rear part a rhizome part of the head-forming vegetable A pulled out a head-forming conveyance belt 18 located in an upper rear part of the rhizome conveyance belt 17 and holding and conveying a head-forming part of the head-forming vegetable A to a rear part and a cutting device 19 located between the rhizome conveyance belt 17 and head-forming conveyance belt 18 and cutting a rhizome part of the head-forming vegetable A. A washing device is arranged in a rear part of the cutting device 19 and in a lower part of the head-forming conveyance belt 18. The washing device includes: a washing nozzle body 87 jetting washing water toward a rhizome part cutting face of the head-forming vegetable A during conveyance by the head-forming conveyance belt 18 and a washing water supply part 88 supplying washing water to the washing nozzle body 87.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】収穫後の結球野菜の洗浄や再調整の必要性をできるだけ低減することができる結球野菜収穫機を提供する。【解決手段】結球野菜収穫機は、走行機体の前方で結球野菜Aを引き抜いて切断し後方に搬送する収穫作業部として、結球野菜Aを圃場から引き抜く掻込ホイールと、引き抜かれた結球野菜Aの根茎部を後方に挟持搬送する根茎搬送帯17と、根茎搬送帯17の上方後部に位置して結球野菜Aの結球部を後方に挟持搬送する結球搬送帯18と、根茎搬送帯17と結球搬送帯18との間に位置して結球野菜Aの根茎部を切断する切断装置19とを有する。切断装置19の後方で結球搬送帯18の下方には、洗浄装置を配置する。洗浄装置は、結球搬送帯18によって搬送中の結球野菜Aの根茎部切断面に向けて下方から洗浄水を噴射する洗浄ノズル体87と、洗浄ノズル体87に洗浄水を供給する洗浄水供給部88とを有する。【選択図】図7
