<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a travelling tea leaf harvester capable of easily utilizing compressed air from a blower fan mounted in the travelling tea leaf harvester, and blowing compressed air to a desired position. <P>SOLUTION: The travelling tea leaf harvester includes: a portal frame which forms a machine body astride a tea furrow; a travelling device connected to the portal frame for travelling over the tea furrows; a tea leaf cutting device mounted in the machine body and having a cutting blade; and a blast pipe disposed on the front of the tea leaf cutting device and having a plurality of branch pipes for blowing compressed air from the blower fan toward the rear of the machine body. The travelling tea leaf harvester also includes an air passage dividing means for dividing an air pathway for the compressed air from the blower fan into an air pathway to the blast pipe and a blowoff pathway by deriving the blowoff pathway from the middle of the air pathway which connects the blower fan and the blast pipe. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
