Abstract

The grape picking machine comprises an inverted U-shaped frame (1) which has a pivoting arm (17,18) mounted on the free end of each limb. A brush in the form of a series of flexible strips is supported by each arm and these brushes (14,15) are rotated by a chain (9) and pulley (5,6) drive. An auxiliary U-shaped frame (21-23) is supported by a second pair of pivoting arms (19,20). The lower ends of the limbs of the frame extend below and between the brushes and support shoes (24,25) which keep the brushes a certain distance apart to prevent them from damaging the plants.

Description

L'invention concerne une machine, notamment pour épamprer la vigne0
On connatt déjà des machines de ce genre qui se composent d'un btti en U renversé pourvu de brosses montées à l'extrémité de bras pivotant eux-m8mes aux extrémités libres des deux branches du bâti en U renversé.
The invention relates to a machine, in particular for sucking up the vine.
We already know machines of this kind which consist of an inverted U-shaped btti provided with brushes mounted at the end of a pivoting arm themselves at the free ends of the two branches of the inverted U-shaped frame.

Ces bras sont soumis, indépendamment l'un de l'autre, à l'action d'un ressort qui tend à rapprocher l'une de l'autre les deux brosses de manière que les languettes viennent heurter les plants de vigne à traiter. These arms are subjected, independently of one another, to the action of a spring which tends to bring the two brushes together, so that the tongues strike the vine plants to be treated.

Cependant, avec une telle machine, le travail effectué sur les plants de vigne n'est guère convenable car le conducteur du tracteur déplaçant la machine ne peut, même avec une surveillance attentive, déplacer le véhicule de manière que le rang de vigne soit situé entre et à égale distance des branches du bâti pourvues desbrossesO
ainsi l'action des brosses sur les deux cOtés du rang de vigne n'est pas équilibrée et les pampres sont ôtés de manière excessive d'un côté du rang de vigne et de manière insuffisante de l'autre côté.
However, with such a machine, the work carried out on the vine plants is hardly suitable since the driver of the tractor moving the machine cannot, even with careful supervision, move the vehicle so that the row of vines is located between and at equal distance from the branches of the frame provided with brushes O
thus the action of the brushes on the two sides of the vine row is not balanced and the branches are removed excessively on one side of the vine row and insufficiently on the other side.

La présente invention a notamment pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients et concerne, à cet effet, une machine pour épamprer la vigne se composant d d'un premier bâti en forme de U renversé dont les extrémités libres des branches re çoivent chacune à pivotement un bras supportant à rotation une brosse pourvue de languettes souples, des moyens pour entraîner en rotation ces brosses, machine caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte un second bâti en U renversé dont les extrémités libres des branches sont chacune reliées à un bras pivotant. The present invention aims in particular to remedy these drawbacks and relates, for this purpose, to a machine for sucking up the vine consisting of a first frame in the form of an inverted U, the free ends of the branches of which each pivotally receive a arm rotationally supporting a brush provided with flexible tongues, means for driving these brushes in rotation, machine characterized in that it comprises a second inverted U-shaped frame whose free ends of the branches are each connected to a pivoting arm.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les axes de pivotement des bras sur le premier bâti sont disposés dans le prolongement des tiges parallèles aux branches, ces tiges étant pourvues à leurs extrémités de poulies, les poulies voisines de l'une des extrémités de la base du U renversé du premier bâti étant reliées par une courroie, les poulies des autres extrémités de ces tiges étant reliées par des courroies à des poulies solidaires de l'axe des brosses. According to another characteristic of the invention, the pivot axes of the arms on the first frame are arranged in the extension of the rods parallel to the branches, these rods being provided at their ends with pulleys, the pulleys adjacent to one of the ends of the base of the inverted U of the first frame being connected by a belt, the pulleys of the other ends of these rods being connected by belts to pulleys secured to the axis of the brushes.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le premier bâti est pourvu d'un prolongement latéral comportant des moyens pour son accrochage à un véhicule tracteur, ce prolon gement comportant également un moteur hydraulique relié par une courroie à une poulie fixée sur la tige adjacente
L'invention est représentée, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, sur l'unique dessin ci-joint, qui est une vue en perspective d'une machine conforme à l'invention.
According to another characteristic of the invention, the first frame is provided with a lateral extension comprising means for its attachment to a tractor vehicle, this extension also comprising a hydraulic motor connected by a belt to a pulley fixed on the adjacent rod
The invention is shown, by way of nonlimiting example, in the single drawing attached, which is a perspective view of a machine according to the invention.

La présente invention a en conséquénce pour but la réalisation d'une machine, notamment pour lwépamprage de la vigne qui réalise un travail convenable et équilibré sur chacun des deux côtés d'un rang de vigne, les brosses rotatives se centrant automatiquement sur le rang de vigne tout en étant mainte- nues à une distance constante l'une de l'autre. The present invention therefore aims to achieve a machine, in particular for lwépamprage of the vine which performs a suitable and balanced work on each of the two sides of a row of vines, the rotary brushes automatically centering on the row of vine while being kept at a constant distance from each other.

Cette machine se compose d'un premier bssti en forme de U renversé 1 présentant une partie de fond 11 et deux branches latérales 12 et 13e
Sur ces branches 12 et 13 sont fixées des pattes 2 à l'intérieur desquelles tourillonnent des tiges 3 et 4 pourvues à leurs extrémités de poulies 5, 6, 7 et 8.
This machine consists of a first bssti in the shape of an inverted U 1 having a bottom part 11 and two lateral branches 12 and 13e
On these branches 12 and 13 are fixed lugs 2 inside which turn rods 3 and 4 provided at their ends with pulleys 5, 6, 7 and 8.

Les poulies 7 et 8 prévues à l'extrémité supérieure des tiges 3 et 4 gont reliées entre elles par-une courroie 9, alors que les poulies 5 et 6, montées pivotantes à l'extrémité inférieure des tiges 3 et 4, sont reliées par des courroies 10 et 11 à des poulies 12 et 13, solidaires de l'axe 141 et 151 de deux poulies 14 et 15 pourvues de languettes souples 16. The pulleys 7 and 8 provided at the upper end of the rods 3 and 4 are connected together by a belt 9, while the pulleys 5 and 6, pivotally mounted at the lower end of the rods 3 and 4, are connected by belts 10 and 11 to pulleys 12 and 13, integral with the axis 141 and 151 of two pulleys 14 and 15 provided with flexible tongues 16.

Ces poulies 14 et 15 sont montées à rotation à l'extrémité de bras 17 et 18 pivotant autour des tiges 3 et 4 et supportées par les pattes inférieures 2. These pulleys 14 and 15 are mounted for rotation at the end of the arms 17 and 18 pivoting around the rods 3 and 4 and supported by the lower legs 2.

également, les pattes supérieures supportent des bras 19 et 20 tourillonnant sur les tiges 3 et 4, ces bras 19 et 20 étant reliés de manière articulée par une tige 21, tandis que ces tiges 19 et 20 supportent à rotation des montants 22 et 23 dont les extrémités inférieures sont fixées aux bras 17 et 18. also, the upper legs support arms 19 and 20 swiveling on the rods 3 and 4, these arms 19 and 20 being connected in an articulated manner by a rod 21, while these rods 19 and 20 rotationally support uprights 22 and 23 of which the lower ends are fixed to the arms 17 and 18.

Les montants 22, 23 et la tige 21, reliés ensemble par les bras 19 et 20 forment donc un seeond bâti en U renversé qui relie les bras 17 et 18 de manière que les brosses 14 et 15 soient maintenues à une distance constante et qu'elles se centrent automatiquement sur un rang de vigne, quel que soit le cheminement exact du véhicule tracteur déplaçant la machine. The uprights 22, 23 and the rod 21, connected together by the arms 19 and 20 therefore form a seeond built in an inverted U which connects the arms 17 and 18 so that the brushes 14 and 15 are kept at a constant distance and that they are centered automatically on a row of vines, whatever the exact path of the towing vehicle moving the machine.

En effet, lorsque le rang de vigne exerce une pression latérale excessive eontre lBune des brosses, le bras 17, 18 qui la supporte tend à pivoter et ce pivotement est transmis par les tringles 22, 23 et la tige 21 à l'autre bras pour provoquer un rapprochement identique de la brosse qutil supporte. In fact, when the row of vines exerts excessive lateral pressure against one of the brushes, the arm 17, 18 which supports it tends to pivot and this pivoting is transmitted by the rods 22, 23 and the rod 21 to the other arm to cause an identical approximation of the brush that it supports.

Les extrémités inférieures des tiges 22 et 23 sont pourvues, au-delà des bras 17 et 18, de tiges coudées 24 et 25 agissant en tant que guides et prenant appui sur les sou- ches des plants de vigne et coopérant également au positionnement latéral des brosses 14 et 15. The lower ends of the stems 22 and 23 are provided, beyond the arms 17 and 18, with bent stems 24 and 25 acting as guides and bearing on the stumps of the vine plants and also cooperating in the lateral positioning of the brushes 14 and 15.

Dans cette réalisation, le cadre constitué par les montants 22 et 23 reliés à la tige 21 par les bras 19 et 20 est situé au-delà des tiges 3 et 4 par rapport au btti 1, et ce Mti 1 comporte latéralement une structure de support 26 pourvue de moyens 27S connus en eux-mêmes permettant l'accrochage de la machine à un véhicule tracteur. In this embodiment, the frame formed by the uprights 22 and 23 connected to the rod 21 by the arms 19 and 20 is located beyond the rods 3 and 4 relative to the btti 1, and this Mti 1 has laterally a support structure 26 provided with means 27S known in themselves allowing the attachment of the machine to a tractor vehicle.

La structure du support 26 comporte également des sabots 28 situés sensiblement à hauteur de l'extrémité libre inférieure des brosses 14 et 15 afin de permettre l'appui au sol de la machine lors de sa non utilisation. The structure of the support 26 also includes shoes 28 situated substantially at the height of the lower free end of the brushes 14 and 15 in order to allow the machine to be supported on the ground when it is not in use.

La structure de support 26 comporte également un renvoi d'angle 29 prolongé par une transmission à cardan pour sa liaison au véhicule tracteur, ce renvoi d'angle 29 étant relié par une poulie 30 et une courroie 31 à une poulie 32 montée sur la tige adjacente 3. The support structure 26 also includes an angle gear 29 extended by a cardan transmission for its connection to the towing vehicle, this angle gear 29 being connected by a pulley 30 and a belt 31 to a pulley 32 mounted on the rod adjacent 3.

Cette disposition permet d'entratner en rotation les deux tiges 3 et 4 et donc les deux brosses 14 et 15 par l'intermédiaire des courroies 10, 11 et 9.  This arrangement allows the two rods 3 and 4 to be driven in rotation and therefore the two brushes 14 and 15 by means of the belts 10, 11 and 9.
