Description

Colector-arrastrador de aceitunas.Collector-Drag olives

Object of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a un dispositivo que ha sido especialmente concebido como colector de aceitunas, durante las maniobras de desprendimiento de las mismas del árbol, ya sea por vareado o por vibrado, colector que cumple además la función de arrastrador, para desplazamiento de las aceitunas acumuladas sobre el mismo hacia cualquier lugar de definitiva recogida de las citadas aceitunas, como por ejemplo hacia las proximidades de un remolque agrícola de transporte.The present invention relates to a device which has been specially conceived as an olive collector, during the detachment maneuvers of them from the tree, either by bending or vibrating, collector that also meets the drag function, for olive displacement accumulated on it towards any place of definite collection of the mentioned olives, such as towards Proximities of an agricultural transport trailer.

El objeto de la invención es conseguir un elemento altamente resistente, que pueda ser fácilmente arrastrado por el suelo sin deterioro del mismo, es decir, con una larga vida útil, y que además facilite de forma considerable la recogida y evacuación de las aceitunas.The object of the invention is to achieve a highly resistant element, which can be easily dragged through the ground without deterioration, that is, with a long life useful, and also considerably facilitate the collection and evacuation of olives.

Background of the invention

Como es sabido, en el ámbito de la recogida de aceitunas se utilizan dos métodos convencionales, uno en el que las aceitunas se desprenden del árbol por vareado, y otro en el que tal desprendimiento se produce por vibrado.As is known, in the field of collecting olives are used two conventional methods, one in which the olives are detached from the tree by vareado, and another in which such detachment occurs by vibrating.

En cualquier caso las aceitunas caen sobre el suelo, del que posteriormente deben ser recogidas.In any case the olives fall on the soil, from which they must subsequently be collected.

Tanto para evitar que se produzca la mezcla de las aceitunas con la tierra y cualquier otro tipo de residuo existente sobre el suelo, como para facilitar la recogida de dichas aceitunas, es habitual que la superficie del suelo sobre la que se prevé la caída de las aceitunas se recubra con una red, lámina plástica o un elemento similar, que evita el citado contacto de las aceitunas con el suelo y que posteriormente facilita el amontonamiento de las aceitunas para su trasvase a un remolque agrícola o cualquier otro elemento de transporte adecuado.So much to prevent the mixing of the olives with the earth and any other type of residue existing on the ground, as to facilitate the collection of said olives, it is usual that the surface of the soil on which it provides for the fall of the olives is coated with a net, foil plastic or a similar element, which avoids the aforementioned contact of the olives with the ground and that later facilitates the stacking olives for transfer to a trailer agricultural or any other suitable transport element.

Habitualmente, por las características del terreno o por cualquiera otra causa, el remolque de recogida queda relativamente distanciado de la zona de caída de las aceitunas, donde se sitúan las citadas láminas plásticas, de manera que una vez concluido el proceso de desprendimiento de las aceitunas del árbol, se efectúa una maniobra de arrastre de dicha red o lámina de plástico sobre el suelo, para aproximarla al remolque de carga, maniobra en la que la citada red o lámina, tanto por efecto del peso que soporta como por las irregularidades del terreno, sufre deterioros que hacen que la vida útil de la misma sea relativamente corta.Usually, due to the characteristics of the terrain or for any other cause, the collection trailer is relatively distant from the fall zone of olives, where the aforementioned plastic sheets are located, so that a once the process of detachment of olives from the tree, a dragging maneuver of said net or sheet of plastic on the ground, to bring it closer to the cargo trailer, maneuver in which the aforementioned net or sheet, both due to the effect of weight that supports as per the irregularities of the ground, suffers impairments that make the life of the same relatively short.

Por otro lado, existe una tendencia a minimizar las dimensiones de las redes o láminas de plástico utilizadas al efecto, de manera que dichas redes o láminas se sitúan en la zona prevista como de mayor afluencia de las aceitunas en su caída, mientras que el resto del terreno, sin cobertura, se somete posteriormente a un barrido o soplado, concentrando las aceitunas sobre dicha red o lámina plástica.On the other hand, there is a tendency to minimize the dimensions of the networks or plastic sheets used at effect, so that said nets or sheets are located in the area planned as the largest influx of olives in their fall, while the rest of the land, without coverage, is submitted after sweeping or blowing, concentrating the olives on said net or plastic sheet.

Esta solución incrementa los problemas anteriormente citados, por el paralelo incremento de la carga que debe soportar dicha red o lámina, a la vez que las reducidas dimensiones de la misma traen consigo que en muchas ocasiones las aceitunas que se soplan hacia su interior por uno de sus bordes, salgan de la red o lámina por el borde opuesto, con la consecuente pérdida de tiempo y energía que ello supone.This solution increases the problems previously mentioned, due to the parallel increase in the load that must support said net or sheet, while the reduced dimensions of it bring with it that in many occasions the olives that are blown inwards by one of its edges, leave the net or sheet on the opposite edge, with the consequent waste of time and energy that this implies.

Description of the invention

El colector-arrastrador que la invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, en los diferentes aspectos comentados.The collector-drag that the proposed invention resolves in a fully satisfactory way the problematic previously exposed, in the different aspects commented.

Para ello y de forma más concreta, dicho colector-arrastrador, partiendo de la idea básica de utilizar un cuerpo laminar como receptor, tanto directo como mediante soplado, de las aceitunas desprendidas del árbol, está constituido mediante un marco rígido que encierra a una geomembrana sintética, de polietileno de alta densidad, policloruro de vinilo u otro material similar, altamente resistente al desgaste, que asegura una larga vida útil de la misma a pesar de arrastrarse por el suelo con una considerable carga.To do this and more specifically, said collector-dragger, based on the basic idea of using a laminar body as a receiver, both direct and by blowing, of the olives detached from the tree, is constituted by a rigid frame that encloses a geomembrane synthetic, high density polyethylene, polyvinylchloride or other similar material, highly resistant to wear, which ensures a long lifespan of it despite crawling on the ground With a considerable load.

De forma más concreta, el citado marco o bastidor se materializa en dos elementos independientes, uno de configuración en "U", que afecta a tres de los bordes de la citada geomembrana, y otro que afecta al cuarto borde, cuyos extremos quedan sustancialmente distanciados del anterior, y que es el que incorpora los medios de arrastre, de manera que en dicha maniobra de arrastre se produce una elevación de este borde, que facilita el desplazamiento del conjunto sobre el terreno.More specifically, the aforementioned frame or frame It materializes in two independent elements, one of "U" configuration, which affects three of the edges of the cited geomembrane, and another that affects the fourth edge, whose ends are substantially distanced from the previous one, and that is the one that incorporates the means of drag, so that in said drag maneuver occurs an elevation of this edge, which facilitates the movement of the whole on the ground.

De acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención, cada uno de los dos elementos que participa en el marco o bastidor, se materializa en un tubo cilíndrico, sobre el que se repliega la zona marginal del borde correspondiente de la geomembrana, que se fija sobre sí misma con la colaboración de remaches o por cualquier otro medio convencional apropiado.According to another of the characteristics of the invention, each of the two elements that participates in the framework or frame, is materialized in a cylindrical tube, on which folds the marginal area of the corresponding edge of the geomembrane, which is fixed on itself with the collaboration of rivets or by any other appropriate conventional means.

Se ha previsto que durante la propia maniobra de repliegue y fijación sobre sí mismo de cada uno de los bordes de la geomembrana, se fije a la cara superior del conjunto una lámina dura y elástica, preferentemente de goma o plástico, que establece con respecto al exterior del bastidor una rampa que facilita el acceso de las aceitunas, especialmente cuando éstas se desplazan mediante soplado, y que interiormente constituye una especie de pinza que facilita la estabilización sobre la geomembrana sintética de una o varias lonetas superiores, que queden así "pinzadas" en todo su perímetro, y que son las que realmente reciben las aceitunas, resultando cada una de dichas lonetas fácilmente desprendible de la estructura base del colector-arrastrador, para el trasvase de las aceitunas desde este último hacia el elemento de recogida, como por ejemplo hacia la caja del citado remolque agrícola, por ejemplo disponiendo anillas en los vértices de las lonetas, a través de las que estas últimas son elevables, configurando una especie de bolsa, con la colaboración de un elemento de elevación tipo grúa, para su posterior descarga sobre el remolque.It is planned that during the maneuver itself folding and fixing on each of the edges of the geomembrane, a sheet is attached to the upper face of the assembly hard and elastic, preferably rubber or plastic, which sets with respect to the outside of the frame a ramp that facilitates the access of olives, especially when they move by blowing, and that internally constitutes a kind of clamp that facilitates stabilization on the synthetic geomembrane of one or several upper canvases, which are thus "pinched" in all its perimeter, and that are the ones that really receive the olives, resulting in each of these canvases easily removable from the base structure of the collector-dragger, for the transfer of olives from the latter to the collection element, as per example towards the box of said agricultural trailer, for example arranging rings at the vertices of the canvases, through the that the latter are liftable, configuring a kind of bag, with the collaboration of a crane type lifting element, for its subsequent unloading on the trailer.

De acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención se ha previsto que sobre la cara superior de la geomembrana sintética se establezcan tiras antideslizantes, para mejorar la estabilidad de las lonetas superiores, y evitar el resbalamiento de los operarios que puedan moverse sobre las mismas, en las operaciones de vareo, así como también que sobre al menos los bordes longitudinales del bastidor se establezcan asas que permitan mantener elevado uno de los bordes del colector-arrastrador mientras se está produciendo el soplado de las aceitunas en el interior del mismo por el borde opuesto, al objeto de evitar la salida de las mismas por efecto de la corriente de aire.According to another of the characteristics of the invention is provided that on the upper face of the synthetic geomembrane non-slip strips are established, for improve the stability of the upper canvases, and avoid slipping of the operators that can move on them, in the operations of vareo, as well as that at least the longitudinal edges of the frame are established handles that allow to keep one of the edges of the collector-drag while it is being produced the blowing of olives inside it by the edge opposite, in order to avoid their exit due to the air flow

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

A la vista de las figuras reseñadas puede observarse como en el colector-arrastrador de aceitunas que la invención propone participa un bastidor o marco perimetral a base de dos elementos independientes, un elemento (1) de configuración en "U" que afecta a dos de los bordes longitudinales del colector y a uno de sus bordes transversales, y un segundo elemento (2) que afecta al otro borde transversal y en el que se establece al menos una argolla (3) para arrastre del conjunto con cualquier elemento tractor apropiado.In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as in the collector-drag of olives that the invention proposes participates a frame or frame perimeter based on two independent elements, one element (1) "U" configuration that affects two of the edges longitudinal of the collector and one of its transverse edges, and a second element (2) that affects the other transverse edge and in which establishes at least one ring (3) to drag the set with any appropriate tractor element.

Este bastidor (1-2) arma una geomembrana sintética (4), que como anteriormente se ha dicho será de polietileno de alta densidad, policloruro de vinilo u otro material altamente resistente, con la particularidad de que los extremos de los dos elementos (1) y (2) que participan en el bastidor quedan sensiblemente distanciados entre sí, definiendo en la geomembrana sintética (4) tramos (5) libremente flexibles, que facilitan la elevación de la geomembrana sintética (4) cuando se tracciona del elemento (2) del bastidor, como se observa especialmente en la figura 2, al objeto de facilitar el arrastre del conjunto sobre el suelo, especialmente cuando existen protuberancias en este último que tienden a frenar su avance.This frame (1-2) assembles a synthetic geomembrane (4), which as stated above will be High density polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride or other highly resistant material, with the particularity that ends of the two elements (1) and (2) that participate in the frame are significantly distanced from each other, defining in the synthetic geomembrane (4) freely flexible sections (5), which facilitate the elevation of the synthetic geomembrane (4) when pulls the element (2) from the frame, as shown especially in figure 2, in order to facilitate drag of the whole on the ground, especially when they exist bumps in the latter that tend to slow its advance.

Para la fijación de la geomembrana sintética (4) al bastidor (1-2), se ha previsto que las zonas marginales y correspondientes (6) de dicha membrana (4) se replieguen sobre sí mismas abrazando a los tubos (1) constitutivos del bastidor, constituyendo una especie de canutillo que se cierra con la colaboración de remaches (7) o por cualquier otro medio adecuado.For fixing the synthetic geomembrane (4) to the frame (1-2), the zones are expected to marginal and corresponding (6) of said membrane (4) is fold over themselves hugging the constituent tubes (1) of the frame, constituting a kind of canutillo that closes with the collaboration of rivets (7) or by any other means suitable.

Estos remaches (7) constituyen simultáneamente el medio de fijación para una tira elástica (8) de un material duro, como por ejemplo goma de alta densidad o plástico rígido, que define una solapa exterior (9), adaptable al terreno, determinante de una especie de rampa que facilita el acceso de las aceitunas a la carga superior del colector-arrastrador, es decir, a la cara superior de la geomembrana (4), cuando se produce el barrido de las aceitunas hacia el interior de la misma, por ejemplo, mediante una manguera sopladora (10), como la representada en la figura 3.These rivets (7) simultaneously constitute the fixing means for an elastic strip (8) of a hard material, such as high density rubber or rigid plastic, which define an outer flap (9), adaptable to the terrain, determinant of a kind of ramp that facilitates the access of olives to the top load of the collector-drag is say, to the upper face of the geomembrane (4), when it occurs the sweeping of the olives into it, by example, by means of a blower hose (10), as shown in figure 3.

Al objeto de evitar que por tal efecto de soplado las aceitunas que acceden a la geomembrana sintética (4) por uno de sus bordes, salgan al exterior de la misma por el otro, se ha previsto la disposición sobre los largueros (1) del bastidor de sendas asas (11) que permiten una elevación de la zona marginal correspondiente del colector, tal como también se observa en la figura 3, para configurar una barrera que impida la salida de las aceitunas por el citado efecto de soplado.In order to avoid that by such a blowing effect the olives that access the synthetic geomembrane (4) by one of its edges, go outside of it by the other, it has provided the arrangement on the stringers (1) of the frame of two handles (11) that allow an elevation of the marginal zone corresponding collector, as also seen in the Figure 3, to configure a barrier that prevents the exit of olives for the aforementioned blowing effect.

Paralelamente, en correspondencia con el borde interior de la citada tira (8), por dentro de los remaches de fijación (7), dicha tira (8) configura una especie de pinza elástica (12) con la propia geomembrana sintética (4), de forma que con ella se consigue la fijación perimetral de una o varias lonetas (13), destinadas a apoyar sobre la geomembrana (4) y a constituir al verdadera superficie receptora de las aceitunas, de manera que tras la carga del colector, por ejemplo, tras la recogida de las aceitunas provenientes de un olivo, la geomembrana sintética (4) con sus diferentes accesorios es arrastrable a través de la anilla (3) hacia las proximidades del vehículo de transporte, como por ejemplo, de un remolque agrícola, momento en el que la loneta (13), o en su caso la loneta superior (13), se desacopla de la pinza (12) y queda en condiciones de ser elevada para su vaciado sobre dicho remolque, quedando en su caso la loneta (13) inmediatamente inferior en condiciones de repetir el ciclo operativo del colector-arrastrador, es decir, quedando este último en condiciones de ser desplazado hacia las proximidades de un nuevo olivo.In parallel, in correspondence with the edge inside of said strip (8), inside the rivets of fixing (7), said strip (8) configures a kind of clamp elastic (12) with the synthetic geomembrane itself (4), so that with it the perimeter fixation of one or several canvases is achieved (13), intended to support the geomembrane (4) and to constitute to the true receiving surface of the olives, so that after loading the collector, for example, after collecting the olives from an olive tree, the synthetic geomembrane (4) with its different accessories is draggable through the ring (3) towards the vicinity of the transport vehicle, as per example of an agricultural trailer, at which point the canvas (13), or in its case the upper canvas (13), is disengaged from the clamp (12) and is able to be elevated for emptying over said trailer, leaving the canvas (13) immediately lower able to repeat the operating cycle of the collector-dragger, that is, the latter remaining in a position to be displaced near a new olive.

Al objeto de colaborar en una perfecta estabilidad de las lonetas (13) sobre la geomembrana sintética (4), se ha previsto que esta última incorpore una pluralidad de tiras transversales y anti-deslizantes (14) sobre las que apoya la loneta, o en su caso la loneta extrema inferior.In order to collaborate in a perfect stability of the canvases (13) over the synthetic geomembrane (4), The latter is expected to incorporate a plurality of strips transverse and anti-slip (14) on which support the canvas, or where appropriate the lower end canvas.
