COLLECTING AND PACKAGING MACHINE, ESPECIALLY FOR COLLECTING VINE AND SIMILAR.

Description ι

The present invention forms a collecting ^

and packing machine, especially for collecting tendrils. ;

The machine is especially, but not exclusively, used for the automatic collection of tendrils in plantations after pruning fruit trees, vines and the like.

There are known applications in which the problem of gathering and the use of the tendrils is solved by picking up and / or chopping or chopping the tendrils themselves

will. The product obtained in this way can then be scattered on the floor or collected for further use u / earth.

These types of applications have numerous disadvantages, including For example, the fact that the product cannot be used efficiently. In addition, the scattering can the shredded tendrils on the ground lead to disadvantages in cultivation.

The main purpose of the present invention is as set out above Avoiding disadvantages and making a machine that is able to pick up the tendrils straight from the ground and to form them into bales or cylindrical bundles which are easily transportable and usable. One advantage given by the present invention is the small width and height dimensions, whereby easy use, for example, between rows of fruit trees and especially between vines is possible. These and other advantages are all achieved by the present invention, which relates to a collection and Packing machine, especially for collecting tendrils, characterized in that it has an attached to the front part Contains collecting device, which the tendrils or the like by the forward movement of the machine itself continuously picks up directly from the ground and feeds it to an inlet opening that leads to a pressing chamber behind it of approximately cylindrical shape whose axis

horizontally and at right angles to the aforementioned feed direction lies, said chamber being provided and equipped for this purpose, from which you can pass through said collecting device supplied tendrils make the formation of a ball or a cylindrical bundle. Other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed below Description of a preferred, but not exclusive, form of realization, purely as an example and is shown in a non-limiting manner in the accompanying drawings, of which

Figure 1 shows a perspective view from the front;

- Fig. 2 shows part of a schematic plan view from above;

- Fig. 3 shows a longitudinal section along the line II-II was carried out from Figure 2;

- Fig. 4 shows the side view of the invention in two different ways Working positions.

With reference to the figures mentioned, (1) denotes a frame movable on two wheels (2), on which a collecting device (3) is attached at the front. The collecting device (3) is used by the forward movement the machine in the direction indicated by an arrow (4) the tendrils or the like continuously directly pick up from the ground. The tendrils collected by the device (3) are transferred to the entrance opening (5) of a

ter lying pressing chamber (6), which is approximately cylindrical and whose axis is horizontal and at right angles to the feed direction indicated by the arrow (A). The task of the pressing chamber (6) is to extract from the tendrils, which are fed to it from the collecting device (3) through the inlet opening (5), a bale or a cylindrical one To form bundles. The collecting device (3) contains a front roller (7), which is robust and radial arranged protruding rungs (8) is provided, which with their rounded ends directly with the ground (9) in contact come. A surface (10) is arranged between the roller (7) and the inlet opening (5) of the pressing chamber (6), are incorporated into the longitudinal slots (11), which serve that the rungs (8) during their rotational movement walk through it. Along the surface (10) and in the direction of the inlet opening (5), the effect the radially arranged and protruding rungs (14) and (15) of the shafts (12) and (13), the horizontal and parallel to the axis of the roller (7) and rotate in the direction indicated by the arrows (16) and (17), the forwarded tendrils picked up by the roller (7). The shaft (13) is mounted underneath the surface (10) and is tight arranged on this so that the radially arranged and protruding rungs (15) during the rotational movement of the Wave enter the slots (11) to then protrude above the surface (10). The rotary motion of the

Wave (13) takes place in the same direction as that of the roller (7). The shaft (12) is attached above the surface (10) and provided with a rotary movement that corresponds to the direction of rotation of the The roller (7) and the shaft (13) run in the opposite direction. During the feed movement in the direction of the entrance opening (5), the tendrils are held laterally by side walls (18), one of which is also at the respective ends the roller (7) and the shafts (12) and (13) are carried. Above are the tendrils of one Sheet metal (30) delimited which is provided with slots to allow the passage of the rungs (14). In each of the two opposing and symmetrically facing wall sections, which are approximately between the Shaft (12) and the gas inlet (5) are located, an opening (19) is incorporated into which a roller (21) with vertical Axis is mounted, on the lateral surface of which is arranged radially, protruding and with a saw profile provided rungs (20) are attached. The roller (21) rotates around its own vertical axis, so that the tendrils sideways forwarded and fed to the inlet opening (5), which has a smaller width than the surface (10). The roller (22), with radially arranged and retracting rungs, acts close to the inlet opening (5) (23) is provided as a connection between the surface (10) and the entrance to the pressing chamber (6). The cylindrical and with a horizontal axis provided bale chamber (6) consists of a large number of equal, parallel and on the opposite

running cylindrical surface of the chamber itself arranged transport rollers (24). The rollers (24) are one arranged next to the other and extend over the entire width of the chamber. Each of the whales (24) has protruding ones Teeth (25) that run the entire length of the roller itself. The pressing chamber (6) consists of two Parts, one of which labeled (26) is attached to the frame (1) while the other is labeled (27) at the top of a horizontal axis lying parallel to the axes of the transport rollers (24) on the fixed part (26) is hinged. The transport rollers (24) all rotate together in the same direction as the front roller (7) and the roller (22) and are supported at their respective ends by the two vertical side walls, which delimit the bale chamber (6). The mechanical transmission of the rotary motion to the rollers, which are located in the movable Part (27) is located by chains that grip the pinions at one end of the aforementioned Rollers are located so that the rotation of the entire movable part (27) around the pin (29) is possible through which it is hinged to the fixed part (26). This rotation causes the pressing chamber (6) and to open consequently the unloading of the bale or cylindrical bundle formed therein. The rotation of the moving part (27) around the pin (29) is achieved by two hydraulic winches (28), which are attached to the outside of the vertical side walls of the

Press chamber (6) are attached. The machine is pulled during the forward movement and those lying on the ground Tendrils are lifted and collected by the front roller (7) and consequently along the face (10) of the entrance opening (5) fed to the Prasskammer (6). At the entrance opening (5) takes the roller (22) with the help of its radially arranged rungs (23) the insertion of the tendrils in the pressing chamber (6) in front, whereby the rungs move freely through the slots (11) of the surface (10) move and go inside retract the roller itself as soon as they come close to the first transport roller (24), which are parallel and is arranged at a short distance from the roller (22). The tendrils pushed into the pressing chamber (6) are taken from the Transport rollers (24) pulled along and made to rotate. The material is pushed continuously into the pressing chamber (6) and fills them increasingly. The agglomeration of a first core begins and then takes place the increasing lateral pressure caused by the filling of the baling chamber results in the formation of a bale, which is then tied and is unloaded through the opening of the movable part (27).

Of course, numerous changes can be made to the invention the construction details of a practical nature can be attached, but without departing from the claimed scope of the inventive Idea to go out.
