薄荷为唇形科多年生宿根草本植物,也是原产我国的特种药用经济作物,它的精油中,游离薄荷脑含量较高,一般在80%以上。薄荷有很大的市场前景,投入少,利润大,被广泛用于食品、医药等方面。薄荷的种植大多采用根茎繁殖、分枝繁殖等方法,需要在生长季节将薄荷根茎拔起,并切成一节节的小段进行茎繁殖。劳动强度大、作业效率低。鉴于此,研制一种结构简单、使用灵活方便的机具,减轻劳动强度成为农牧民的迫切需求。2012年,新疆中收农牧机械公司通过多次市场调研,研制出4BQ-2型薄荷根茎起切机。该机主要用于薄荷根茎起切,薄荷长度在280～350 mm时,停止 Peppermint is a perennial perennial herbaceous Labiatae, but also the origin of our country’s special medicinal crops, its essential oils, high free menthol content, generally more than 80%. Mint has a great market prospects, less investment, large profits, is widely used in food, medicine and so on. Mint cultivation mostly rhizome propagation, branch breeding and other methods, the need to mint roots in the growing season uprooted, and cut into small sections for stem propagation. Labor intensity, low efficiency. In view of this, the development of a simple structure, the use of flexible and convenient tools, reduce labor intensity become an urgent need of farmers and herdsmen. In 2012, Xinjiang Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd. received a number of market research, developed 4BQ-2-type mint rhizome cutting machine. The machine is mainly used for mint rhizome cut, peppermint length at 280 ~ 350 mm, stop
