Apocynum venetum has clustered, highly branched stems with strong phloem fiber adhesion, which makes mechanical harvesting prone to entanglement, grip slippage, conveyance blockage, and uneven, high stubble. Existing cutting and bundling machines do not match this morphology well and cannot meet both low-stubble and anti-clogging requirements. To address these problems, an integrated Apocynum venetum cutting-bundling harvester was developed that combines a reciprocating cutting mechanism, stem-folding assembly, vertical anti-clogging conveyor at the cutting table, height-adjustable crop-plate compaction device, and cord-based bundling mechanism, which was supported by a combined navigation s...
