Description

QUASI AGRICULTURAL FRUIT COLLECTION MACHINE
SOIL BY IMPULSION-ASPIRATION, HIGH CAPACITY

DESCRIPTION

The invention, as expressed in the statement of the present specification, refers to a quasi machine for harvesting agricultural fruits of the soil by impulse-aspiration, of great capacity, which contributes to the function to which several advantages are assigned, apart from characteristics of novelty inherent in its organization and constitution, which will be described in detail below and that represent a remarkable improvement of the current state of the art in its field of application in the agricultural sector.

The quasi-machine concept is born from the current Machinery Directive and as such, it needs the driving force of a motor vehicle such as a truck, tractor or other similar vehicle.

The present invention concerns a quasi machine for harvesting agricultural fruits of the soil by impulse-aspiration, of great capacity, applicable to the collection of olives, hazelnuts, nuts and similar fruits, whose harvesting system is of the hydraulic-pneumatic type to collect the aforementioned fruits of the soil and transfer them to a container drawer.

First of all, the necessary equipment and components of the motor vehicle in question are distinguished and are not subject to the invention patent, such as: auto frame, engine, clutch, gearbox, power take-off and hydraulic pump.

Secondly, the equipment and components of the invention patent application: air turbine, fruit container drawer by lateral hydraulic tilting, upper gate by hydraulic folding containing suction tube, hydraulic boom with telescopic arm, hydraulic rotor by command remote, approach sensors to the ground, supply hose, suction hose, lower drive grill, air tires, suction hood, hydraulic cylinders for opening and closing the upper gate, double acting hydraulic cylinders for tilting side of the fruit cutter drawer, output of the fruit to agricultural container or trailer and telescopic hydraulic cylinders supporting the ground as a safety measure against lateral overturning.

In the state of the art different devices and machines used for the collection of various fruits of the soil are known, with different characteristics, depending on the type of fruit to be picked.

The main drawback presented by these machines lies in the low flexibility of adaptation to the irregularities of the land, so it is very likely that there are fallen fruits in depressed and rugged areas, with steep slopes in any direction, which remain uncollected, causing losses at harvest due to an incomplete harvest.

Another type of inconvenience is the little maneuverability of these machines that prevent a complete sweep under the low branches until reaching the same trunk of the trees, where much of the fallen fruit is concentrated.

The quasi machine harvesting agricultural fruits of the soil by impulsion-aspiration, dc large capacity (6000 kg.), Object of the invention patent, solves all the described drawbacks of other machines, highlighting the great maneuverability, comfort and versatility that it offers automatically, quickly, safely and effectively to the user of it.

Due to the flexible hoses, hydraulic boom with telescopic arm and tubular drive-suction frame, they allow sweeps of streets, between rows of fruit trees of 5, 7 and 12 m. wide, covering a circular sector of 180 °, one way and without having to retake to pick up the other side.

This quasi machine has sensor devices approaching the ground, placed on the tires that support the tubular frame, adapting it perfectly and at all times to the irregularities of the ground by means of the hydraulic rotor coupled to it, being able to enter, one and the other side of the street, to the base of the tree trunk, saving even the lowest branches in relation to the ground.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made of the quasi machine object of the invention patent and to help a better understanding of the characteristics that distinguish it, accompanying the present specification, as an integral part thereof, are figures, Illustrative and non-limiting, as follows:

Figure 1 shows a schematic view of the side elevation of the quasi machine, showing the current state of the art in it.

Figure 2 shows a schematic view of the plant of the quasi machine, object of the present invention, in which the angular scan of 180 ° (90 ° right and 90 ° left) is detailed.

Figure number 3.- Shows a schematic view of the back of the quasi machine, in which the lateral tilting system of the container drawer can be seen dropping the fruit.

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

In view of the aforementioned figures, and according to the numbering adopted, an example of a preferred embodiment of the invention can be seen therein, which comprises the equipment, parts and elements of the invention patent and which are described in detail below:

We start from an air turbine (1) that drives it through a hose (8) and a tubular frame (6) until it comes out of the lower grid (10) which, through a tangential laminar regime to the ground, leave the fruit somewhat weightless and immediately it is sucked by the bell (12) through the hose (9) that is taken to the container drawer (2) depositing it by gravity in the bottom of the drawer until its full filling (6000 Kg.)

The sweeping operation of fruits of the ground is achieved by means of a hydraulic boom with telescopic arm (4), a hydraulic rotor (5) operated by remote control that rotates the tubular frame (6) to the left or right, and, through the sensors (7) of approach to the ground an excellent precision is obtained in the collection of the fruit, aspiring it almost completely clean of pebbles and brushwood.

The boom (4) can rotate an angle of 90 ° to the left and 90 ° to the right, getting sweeps of streets of 5, 7 and 12 m. wide in the direction of progress, without having to return along the same street to pick up the opposite side. Due to the large reach of the boom (4) the telescopic hydraulic cylinders (16) are arranged to support the ground, to ensure transverse stability.

The total sweep, therefore, is 1800 and will not leave a single fruit off the ground without picking. All this operation will be done automatically by the user of the quasi machine, by remote control.

Once the container drawer (2) is filled, the operation described above is paralyzed and the operator's hydraulic drive system (3) and fruit container drawer (2) are activated by operation of the operator. lateral tilting, in order to fully drop the contents thereof through the inclined plane (15) to another agricultural container or trailer.

To do this, the hydraulic cylinder (13), which puts the upper gate (3) upright, is activated by means of the hydraulic pump of the motor vehicle. Next, the hydraulic cylinder (14) that operates the lateral tilt container drawer (2) that totally drops the fruit through the inclined slope (15) into another agricultural container or trailer is moved for transfer to the oil mill. , in case the fruit is the olive.
