Abstract
A produce harvesting device includes a cylindrical member; a rotating member that forms a through-hole member; and a rotation driving unit that drives the rotating member to rotate about a virtual axis. The rotating member is configured to: when the rotating member comes into contact with the fruit or vegetable while rotating, twist the fruit or vegetable relative to a stem of the fruit or vegetable; when the rotating member comes into contact with the fruit or vegetable moving toward the rear side, deform toward the rear side to increase the through-hole member in size; and reduce the through-hole member in size by returning back to an original shape of the rotating member.
