ABSTRACT

Lettuce leaf removal is an important part of mechanized harvesting of lettuce, and it is also one of the main functions of lettuce harvester. An adaptive Angle opening and closing mechanism for leaf removal of lettuce was designed in this paper. The size and type of the defoliating mechanism were determined based on the external characteristics of lettuce, and its reliability was analyzed by simulation. In addition, the blade resistance and the driving power required during operation are calculated, and the minimum power of the motor required is determined.
