Harvesting device having two ends (A, B), wherein - the first end faces the harvested produce, and the second end faces away from the harvested produce, and a longitudinal axis of the harvesting device extends between the two ends (A, B), - proceeding from the second end, a main body, a guiding body, and a suction member are disposed along the longitudinal axis, - disposed about the longitudinal axis are a multiplicity of rods which extend from the main body to the first end, - the suction member is movable along the longitudinal axis, - the rods are connected to the main body and are guided by clearances in the guiding body or by guiding elements on the guiding body, - the rods are elastically deformed by a rotating movement of the guiding body about the longitudinal axis relative to the non-rotatable main body or by a rotating movement of the main body about the longitudinal axis relative to the non-rotatable guiding body or by a counter rotating movement of the guiding body and the main body in each case about the longitudinal axis, and in the region between the guiding body and the first end move away from the longitudinal axis, - when harvested produce fixed by means of the suction member is transported in the direction of the guiding body and received between the rods in the region between the guiding body and the first end, the elastic deformation of the rods is influenced by a renewed rotating movement of the guiding body about the longitudinal axis or of the main body about the longitudinal axis or of the guiding body and the main body in each case about the longitudinal axis so that the rods in preparation for separating the harvested produce from a plant place themselves on the surface of the harvested produce and encompass the harvested produce. - the first end faces the harvested produce, and the second end faces away from the harvested produce, and a longitudinal axis of the harvesting device extends between the two ends (A, B), - proceeding from the second end, a main body, a guiding body, and a suction member are disposed along the longitudinal axis, - disposed about the longitudinal axis are a multiplicity of rods which extend from the main body to the first end, - the suction member is movable along the longitudinal axis, - the rods are connected to the main body and are guided by clearances in the guiding body or by guiding elements on the guiding body, - the rods are elastically deformed by a rotating movement of the guiding body about the longitudinal axis relative to the non-rotatable main body or by a rotating movement of the main body about the longitudinal axis relative to the non-rotatable guiding body or by a counter rotating movement of the guiding body and the main body in each case about the longitudinal axis, and in the region between the guiding body and the first end move away from the longitudinal axis, - when harvested produce fixed by means of the suction member is transported in the direction of the guiding body and received between the rods in the region between the guiding body and the first end, the elastic deformation of the rods is influenced by a renewed rotating movement of the guiding body about the longitudinal axis or of the main body about the longitudinal axis or of the guiding body and the main body in each case about the longitudinal axis so that the rods in preparation for separating the harvested produce from a plant place themselves on the surface of the harvested produce and encompass the harvested produce.
