"TRACTOR COFFEE DRIVER COLLECTOR AND SHAKE DRIVEN BY TDP (POWER TAKE) WITH MACHINE LEVEL ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM".

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this report is to describe and apply for the utility model patent "PORTRATOR DRIVER COFFEE COLLECTOR AND SHAKE, TDP (POWER TAKING) ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM" hereinafter referred to as "COLLECTOR MACHINE COLLECTOR" COFFEE ", where it is believed that there is an object of practical use, susceptible of rural application, presenting new disposition of known forms, involving inventive act, resulting in functional improvement of use, thus constituting in a certain way a new state of the art.

Agricultural mechanization increased the productive capacity of the workforce as manual labor was replaced by mechanisms that had higher than human power sources, initially through animal dating and, today, with motomechanization.

As a result of the scarcity of labor in the field, coffee harvesting systems have been improved and automated. There are currently three systems: Manual, semi-mechanized and mechanized.

Manual: It is the system that can be considered conventional because it is the most used. In it, the various operations of the harvest, except transport, are performed from manual services, demanding large labor. Defrosting of coffee branches can be done on the cloth, by hand or on the ground.

Semi-mechanized: Consists of the use of manual service and machines to perform the harvesting operations. This system varies widely and can perform one or almost all operations performed mechanically. It is a system that tends to grow a lot and can serve small and large coffee farmers.

Mechanized: In this system it is considered that all harvesting operations are performed mechanically, being a more widespread system and employed in large and technified properties, with favorable topography. Although this system is called mechanized, it does not totally dispense with manual service, because the machines cannot harvest all the fruits of the plant. The fruits that remain after the derriçecanica are subsequently removed by means of a manual operation called "transfer".

In all the processes described above there are significant crop losses that fall on the ground, called "sweeping coffees". These are collected and benefited separately from other beans because they came into contact with the soil, reducing the quality of the coffee, as well as hygienic-sanitary aspects. They are also called "bar-coffees" when hand picking or "pass-through" is performed directly on the ground (soil).

The collection of these "sweeping coffees" can be done manually by workers with the help of broomsticks, demanding high production cost or by pneumatic machines that suck the ground coffee beans. These machines have low efficiency because they do not collect all the ground beans, They cause damage to the environment and workers because they disperse large amount of particles in the air (dust) and demand great power from the tractor.

In addition to the collection operation, there is a need for cleaning the beans as they are collected with a large amount of impurities such as leaves, sticks, clods, stones, etc. This operation can be performed by manual coffee sifters, tractor-operated stationary machines or Integrated machines for pneumatic blowers. These techniques demand high production costs, have low efficiency, require the mobilization of large numbers of workers and machines for transport and operation, in addition to pollution to the environment and danger to the health of operators.

In view of this need for the removal and cleaning of these remnant grains on the ground or even the harvesting of the hand-held "ground" harvesting, the present utility model "TROLLED DRIVER COFFEE-DRIVER COFFEE DRIVER WITH ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM" is required. MACHINE DEVELOPMENT "which perfectly and efficiently solves the aforementioned problems, innovating the concept of collecting and shaking the ground grains, because:

(a) is characterized by enabling continuity between the preceding and subsequent unit operations of a given processing.

(b) is characterized in that it allows the collection, de-graining, separation of impurities and manual bagging operations of the product in a single and continuous process.

Following, for a better understanding and understanding of what constitutes the "TRACTOR-TRAVEL COFFEE MAKER" TDP (POWER PLUG) WITH MACHINE LEVEL ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM, which is claimed here, are attached hereto. where you see:

FIG. 3 - Shows a schematic view of the "COFFEE SHEEP COLLECTOR", coupled to the tractor.

OPERATION

Initially the coffee must be crammed into crockery. This operation can be performed manually or with the aid of pneumatic equipment.

The coffee picker and shaker (15) is pulled by the tractor in which the operator places the pickup conveyor (1) on the coffee rack. With the displacement of the tractor the conveyor drags the coffee with various impurities such as earth, stones, leaves, etc. to the reception lift (2).

The producer is raised and directed to the homogenization tip of the product (3) by spreading it and transporting it to the destroying cylinder (4). This breaks down dirt and agglomerates of grain that may exist for better separation of the product. Afterwards, the product undergoes forced ventilation which removes lighter-than-product impurities such as leaves, twigs, etc. exiting out of light impurities (6). This ventilation is provided by the fan (5).

With the removal of the light impurities, the product is sent to the box with perforated sieves for separation (7) in which it has a set of vibrating sieves that separates the coffee from impurities smaller than the grains larger than the beans.

Impurities larger than grains such as twigs, leaves, etc. they are disposable by the output of impurities larger than the grains (8). Impurities smaller than grains such as earth, sand, stones, etc. are removed and discarded at the bottom of the machine.

The already separated coffee is sent to the separate coffee lift (9) where it can be stored in carts, as the coffee picker and shaker (15) has a hitch in the back or in bags, which are supported by the bag holder. of coffee (10).

The coffee picker and shaker (15) is engaged and pulled by the tractor by coupling to the tractor's three-point system (11) and driven by the drive shaft (12) which is coupled to the PTO (power take-off).

The equipment also has a leveling system (14) for the operator to level the machine according to the possible slopes on the ground, thus improving the performance of the pickup conveyor (1) and grain separation.

In the object of the present patent, the following items have been approached and technically analyzed: pickup carrier (1); reception lift (2); product homogenization nozzle (3); destroying cylinder (4); fan (5); light impurities outlet (6); box with perforated sieves for separation (7); output of impurities larger than beans (8), separate coffee elevator (9); support for coffee bags (10); coupling to the three-point tractor system (11); drive shaft (12); drive wheels (13); leveling system (14) and coffee picker and shaker (15).
