Abstract: A fruit vegetable harvesting device includes an operating tool (e.g., a cutting mechanism that operates a fruit vegetable (e.g., cuts a stalk), a fruit vegetable holding mechanism that sucks and holds the fruit vegetable, and an advance and retreat mechanism that advances and retreats the cutting mechanism to and from the fruit vegetable held by the fruit vegetable holding mechanism. The advance and retreat mechanism includes an extendable arm unit having a tip end to which the cutting mechanism is attached, and the cutting mechanism is held to be rotatable about a second rotation shaft with respect to the arm unit.

Abstract: A suction pad configured to suck and hold a fruit includes a pad main body made from an elastically deformable member and having a held base end portion; a hollow formed inside the pad main body so as to extend from a base end side to a tip end side; and a hole configured to communicate with the hollow and being open to a tip end portion of the pad main body, and an opening diameter of the suction hole is smaller than an inner diameter of the hollow.
