Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

La poda de la vid es la práctica de cultivo que consiste en la supresión o eliminación parcial de la parte aérea de la planta, conocida como sarmientos, de tal modo que año tras año, el número de yemas o brotes dejados asegure y garantice el potencial productivo de años posteriores.Vine pruning is the cultivation practice that it consists in the suppression or partial elimination of the aerial part of the plant, known as branches, so that year after year, the number of yolks or sprouts left secure and guarantee the productive potential of later years.

El desarrollo de nuevos brotes, es la acción decisiva para la continuidad de la producción y la garantía de la calidad de la vendimia.The development of new shoots, is the action decisive for the continuity of production and the guarantee of vintage quality.

Esta acción se realiza manualmente, ya que el proceso de visualización, selección o decisión, y corte de las ramas de la vid, es difícil de mecanizar. Tan solo se conocen herramientas o dispositivos que ayudan y/o facilitan parcialmente la poda al operario. Dichos dispositivos son prepodadoras, tijeras eléctricas, etc., que facilitan la poda del trabajador sin llegar nunca a sustituirlo.This action is performed manually, since the process of visualization, selection or decision, and cutting of the Vine branches, it is difficult to mechanize. They only know each other tools or devices that help and / or partially facilitate Pruning the operator. These devices are pre-pruners, scissors electrical, etc., that facilitate the pruning of the worker without arriving Never replace it.

Teniendo en cuenta la gran cantidad de mano de obra necesaria para llevar a cabo esta acción, el elevado coste de la misma, y el fatigoso esfuerzo que el operario debe realizar, se ha desarrollado el dispositivo de poda de la presente invención, el cual radica la problemática mencionada.Given the large amount of hand of necessary work to carry out this action, the high cost of the same, and the tiring effort that the operator must make, is has developed the pruning device of the present invention, the Which is the problem mentioned.

Descripción de la invenciónDescription of the invention

El dispositivo de poda automatizado objeto del presente registro soluciona la problemática mencionada con anterioridad, eliminando la presencia de mano de obra para la poda de los viñedos, asegurando y optimizando el resultado de la producción año tras año.The automated pruning device subject to This record solves the problem mentioned with previously, eliminating the presence of labor for pruning of the vineyards, ensuring and optimizing the result of the production year after year.

El dispositivo está integrado por un sistema de detección o visión artificial y un mecanismo de poda de viñedos, relacionados por un software apto para tal efecto.The device is integrated by a system of detection or artificial vision and a pruning mechanism of vineyards, related by software suitable for this purpose.

El sistema de detección o visión artificial, recoge una serie de datos relacionados con la posición y dirección tanto de las cepas como de las ramas de la misma, relación de los diámetros, etc., siendo estos datos procesados por el software mencionado, y transmitidos al mecanismo de poda para su ejecución.The detection or artificial vision system, collects a series of data related to the position and address both the strains and the branches thereof, relation of the diameters, etc., this data being processed by the software mentioned, and transmitted to the pruning mechanism for execution.

El mecanismo de poda, basado en robótica, está conformado, generalmente, por un brazo articulado, dotado en su extremo libre de unos elementos de corte aptos para tal fin. El posicionamiento de dicho brazo junto con sus movimientos están dirigidos y controlados por el software, el cual le indica o transmite los parámetros relacionados con los puntos de corte de las ramas.The pruning mechanism, based on robotics, is conformed, generally, by an articulated arm, endowed in its free end of cutting elements suitable for this purpose. He positioning of said arm along with its movements are directed and controlled by the software, which indicates or transmits the parameters related to the cut-off points of the branches.

El conjunto o dispositivo está integrado o acoplado a un tractor convencional, o a un elemento de transporte similar, que permita el avance del conjunto por las calles del viñedo, ya que estos, por lo general, están distribuidos sobre el terreno en línea, conformado calles debidamente separadas.The set or device is integrated or coupled to a conventional tractor, or a transport element similar, that allows the advance of the set through the streets of vineyard, since these are usually distributed over the land in line, conformed streets properly separated.

A su vez, cada cepa consta de un tronco, más o menos grueso, según la edad, perpendicular al suelo, y de brazos de los que nacen o surgen trozos de madera vieja o pulgares, formados por cortes de sucesivas podas.In turn, each strain consists of a trunk, more or less thick, according to age, perpendicular to the ground, and arms of those that are born or arise pieces of old wood or thumbs, formed by cuts of successive pruning.

Del último pulgar surgen sarmientos, generalmente de un color marrón claro, constituidos por nudos o puntos más necrosados y abultados, y entrenudos o zonas lisas más blanquecinas que separan los nudos.Branches arise from the last thumb, usually a light brown color, consisting of knots or more points necrosed and bulky, and internodes or whitish smooth areas that separate the knots.

Los puntos por donde el brazo robotizado debe cortar son según el sistema de poda utilizado en el viñedo, por ejemplo, el segundo nudo del sarmiento que nace más abajo que el pulgar, y el pulgar antiguo por encima del nacimiento del primer sarmiento.The points where the robotic arm should cut are according to the pruning system used in the vineyard, by example, the second node of the branch that is born lower than the thumb, and the old thumb above the birth of the first sarmiento.

Dichos puntos son detectados por el sistema de visualización, y debidamente procesados para su ejecución como orden sobre el brazo robot.These points are detected by the system of visualization, and duly processed for execution as Order on the robot arm.
