Definitions

  • Mobile auxiliary device for dressing, sorting and packaging vegetables, flowers, horticultural and field crops and the like.
  • the invention relates to a mobile auxiliary device for dressing, sorting and packaging vegetables, flowers, horticulture and crops and the like. According to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such an auxiliary device with which the above-mentioned work can be carried out by the corresponding workers in a gentle manner immediately at the place of harvest, is known in the form (brochure "SEACO INDUSTRIES AGRICULTURAL / INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT” from Seaco Industries, Saunas, California / USA) that the crossbar rests approximately in the middle of the loading platform on a truck chassis and carries a continuous packing table on both sides of it, that the conveyor tracks consist of opposing conveyor belts, that the packing container support for empty containers in the form of two adjacent roller conveyors runs in the direction of travel above the driving position and that underneath connect two further roller conveyors for the filled containers to the rear of the crossbeam, which end behind the chassis just above the floor.
  • this device When using this device, which usually moves slowly, a number of workers walk behind the crossbar to inspect the goods placed on the packing tables by harvesters, such as heads of lettuce, ready for packaging, possibly in paper or a plastic film and then hit the put on the conveyor belt in front, which leads them to the chassis. There, the goods are sorted by two other workers walking between the latter two roller conveyors in a recess in the chassis, optionally in one of the two boxes standing on the roller conveyors, which after filling are thrown to the ground via the roller conveyor in question.
  • the boxes are formed by two other workers standing in front of the crossbar on the loading platform from blanks stacked there and then placed on the packing container support for the empties, from which they are removed as required.
  • the invention has for its object to further rationalize the work mentioned in a device of the generic type and to make it more gentle, above all to dispose of and subsequently collect the filled containers and to enable a seamless chain of the workers employed on the crossbar.
  • the two alternating tables make it possible to carry out the inspection, sorting and packing work unhindered by the newly added goods, and also to have the sorting and packaging process carried out by the same people who also carry out the inspection and, if necessary, make the drive. They remove the empty containers from the crossbeam at the respective packing table, transfer them to the lower second container support and fill them with the goods of a certain class of goods. The filled containers are placed on the pushed conveyor in front, which leads them to the loading platform. There they are stacked and, if necessary, immediately palletized by one or two workers, who are also responsible for preparing and placing the empty containers on the relevant container support.
  • the containers or carton blanks and / or the pallets are advantageously removed from their own support tables, which adjoin the loading platform on both sides.
  • the storage tables can be arranged lower than the packing tables in order to make it easier for harvest workers working on the ground to place the goods. Since the two conveyor tracks generally only have to convey containers such as cardboard boxes, crates or crates, they can easily consist of drive rollers which are inclined towards the loading area.
  • the storage and packing tables can be laterally displaceable, folded up and, if necessary, detachably attached to the crossbar, and the crossbar itself can be arranged to be adjustable in height.
  • the chassis can then be designed as an interchangeable bridge support chassis in order to be able to replace the structure comprising the loading platform, crossbeams, etc., if desired, with another, and the like.
  • the auxiliary device according to the invention which, with the exception of its propulsion, can possibly work completely without a drive and yet results in a transportable packaging on the spot of the harvest, is an optimal solution.
  • the finished, possibly palletized containers need only be reloaded from time to time from the loading platform to a transport vehicle.
  • FIG. 1 is a somewhat schematic side view of the rear part of the device, in a first embodiment
  • FIG. 3 shows a side view of the device in another embodiment as a swap body vehicle
  • FIG. 4 shows a top view of the device according to FIG. 3, with a roof again appearing omitted,
  • FIG. 5 is a rear view of the device of FIG. 3,
  • FIG. 6 is a side view, partially broken off at the top, of a device, for example according to FIG. 3, coupled with a further vehicle for the transfer and removal of the packaged goods, 7 shows another swap body construction in the form of a refrigerated case and
  • Fig. 8 still another swap body in the form of an agricultural sprayer.
  • a cross bar 6 is attached to the rear end of a chassis 4 carrying a loading platform 2 and forms cantilever arms 8 and 10 projecting beyond the loading platform 2 on both sides.
  • These (for a reason to be explained later) somewhat unevenly long cantilever arms 8 and 10 are pivotably articulated by means of vertically positioned hinges 12 to a slide 14 which in turn can be moved up and down in a vertical guide 16.
  • a hand-operated winch 18 is provided at the upper end of the guide 16, on which the carriage 14 is suspended.
  • each packing table 26 On two spars 20 and 22 of the crossbeam 6 located underneath one another, storage tables 24 and packing tables 26 are arranged alternately with one another, of which the storage tables 24 are lower and extend further back than the packing tables 26. Both types of tables are detachable and laterally displaceable on the relevant table Spar 20 or 22 mounted in such a way that they can be folded up when not in use.
  • a weighing device, a gauge or the like can be provided if necessary.
  • each continuous pack container supports 34 and 36 in the form of braced rails, which as such form a load-bearing component of the crossbar. While the upper container support, 34, is at a height such that it can still be comfortably reached by a person entering behind the chassis 4, the container support 36 is at a level just above the loading platform 2. To facilitate access, both container supports are backwards and sloping down.
  • the container support 36 is connected to each of the two cantilever arms 8 and 10 by a conveyor track 38 in the form of a drive roller conveyor which slopes slightly towards the loading platform 2 in such a way that the containers resting on the container support 36 are easily pushed onto the conveyor track from there can.
  • fold-up, retractable or removable support tables 40 are arranged on the chassis 4 on both sides of the loading platform 2, which can be walked on when the device is in use and can form an additional loading and / or storage area for packaged goods.
  • a roof 42 in the form of a conventional tarpaulin roof is provided above the loading platform 2, which can continue over the crossbeam 6 if necessary.
  • the canopy 42 is followed by curtains 44 which can be gathered down on both sides of the loading platform 2.
  • the wheels 46 of the chassis are individually suspended on cheeks 48, which are displaceable in a transverse guide 50 and adjustable by means of an opposing threaded spindle 52.
  • the relevant crops or the like are harvested by harvesting forces, e.g. Salad heads 54, harvested, cleaned, i.e. e.g. freed from withered leaves, and then placed on the nearest tray table 24. From there, they are removed by the forces moving in behind the crossbeam 6, the so-called packers, checked, struck if desired, and then, depending on their size, quality or the like, placed in a packing container 56 provided for this purpose, which, as an empty container, precedes the container support 34 was removed and implemented on the container support 36.
  • forces e.g. Salad heads 54
  • harvested cleaned, i.e. e.g. freed from withered leaves
  • a packing container 56 provided for this purpose, which, as an empty container, precedes the container support 34 was removed and implemented on the container support 36.
  • the respective packer for example, fills two containers standing directly in front of him on the container support 36, each with one of the two most common classes of goods, while he can fill the containers left and right next to it with his neighbor with the less frequent classes of goods.
  • a container If a container is filled, it is pushed onto the conveyor track 38 in front of it, on which it runs under the influence of its own weight to the loading platform 2. There, the arriving containers are stacked on pallets 39 by the employees there, possibly after closing, which are removed from one of the two support tables 40.
  • the Canopy 42 with curtains 44 protects the packaged goods from weather influences such as sunshine.
  • the same people employed on the loading platform 2 provide the container supports 34 with empty containers, which may be formed from cardboard blanks at this point. The empty containers are pushed by hand along the container support 34 to the extent that they are placed.
  • a hold-down device in the form of a possibly adjustable bar, rubber cord or the like, 58, can pull over the container support 34, as shown .
  • the tables 24 and 26 can be folded up for road transport and for parking the device, and then the cantilever arms 8 and 10 can be swiveled forward with the crossbar 6 raised over the loading platform 2, whereupon the two support tables 40 can also be folded up. In this way, the width of the device is essentially determined by the loading platform 2. In addition, however, the winch 13 also allows the crossbar 6 to be adjusted in height in accordance with the plant height or the desired height of the workplace.
  • FIGS. 3-5 show yet another expedient version for larger companies, the same reference numerals being used for corresponding parts as in the version according to FIGS. 1 and 2. The following description is essentially limited to describing the deviations .
  • a structure 60 with the loading platform 2, the crossbar 6, support tables 40 and the roof 42 is arranged as a swap body on a - preferably all-wheel drive - self-propelled swap body chassis 62.
  • the swap body chassis 62 the i.ü. can follow a standard (e.g. DIN 7013, 7014 and 7018), has a drive motor 64, bellows 70 acting on the axles of the wheels 68 via rocker arms 66 and at its front end a driver's station 72 which can be swung out 180 sideways and backwards around the platform 2 keep clear during field work.
  • the chassis 62 will also expediently have an adjustable track width.
  • the swivel angle of the wheels 68 can be up to about 180, ie the wheels can have two basic positions offset by 90 ° with the possibility of swiveling by - 45 each, which can easily be achieved by hydraulic means.
  • the steering of the two rear wheels can be blocked for road traffic.
  • the driving position 62 is set up, for example by a diesel-hydraulic drive, for a pronounced slow driving ability.
  • seats 74 with footrests 76 are provided at the packing tables 26 of the crossbar in the case of FIGS.
  • the crossbar is composed of two essentially mirror-symmetrical pivotable cantilever arms 8 and 10 and a non-pivotable middle piece 78 about the width of the loading platform 2, three parts.
  • the middle piece 78 is also adjustable in height.
  • the conveyor track 38 is interrupted in the area of the center piece in order to be able to use the entire platform 2 as a work surface.
  • This measure and the three-part structure of the crossbeam also allow the swivel angle of the cantilever arms 8 and 10 to be increased to, for example, 200 each. This means that the cantilever arms can be temporarily pivoted backwards during field work, for example to avoid an obstacle, if necessary until they come into contact with one another.
  • the pallet support tables 40 which in the example of FIGS. 3-5 extend over the entire length of the loading platform 2, can be designed as foldable side walls.
  • the canopy 42 has sections 80 which extend beyond these folded-down side walls and can be folded down and to which a hanging apron 81 is connected on the outside in order to protect the packaged goods, the goods to be loaded and the workforce from wind and weather influences.
  • the cantilever arms 8 and 10 are each equipped with their own canopy 82, which can be swiveled and partially folded down and which, continuing on the side of the conveyor track 38 downward, can at the same time serve as a windbreak against throwing off the empty containers resting on the container support 34 .
  • Figure 6 shows how device 84 of the type just described Type can be coupled at the front with a second swap body vehicle 86 during operation or, if necessary, at operating intervals, in order to be able to transfer the loaded pallets 39 for removal thereon.
