Description

PLATE-FORME PORTÉE POUR LA CUEILLETTE DES FRUITS POUSSANT SUR LES ARBRES La présente invention a pour objet une plate-forme portée à partir d'un tracteur agricole.  The present invention relates to a platform carried from an agricultural tractor.

Elle concerne le domaine de l'arboriculture et est destinée à faciliter la cueillette et la récolte des fruits des arbres sur pied et en particulier des olives. It concerns the field of arboriculture and is intended to facilitate the picking and harvesting of fruits from standing trees and in particular olives.

La cueillette des olives et autres fruits similaires, tels que amandes, noix, etc., s'effectuant en général soit à la main à l'aide de chevalets ou échelles, soit en provoquant la chute des fruits directement sur le sol ou sur un filet ou toile disposé au pied de l'arbre. Cette opération s'effectuant au moyen de peignes ou râteaux à longs manches ou en secouant l'arbre. The picking of olives and other similar fruits, such as almonds, nuts, etc., is generally carried out either by hand using easels or ladders, or by causing the fruit to fall directly onto the ground or onto a net or canvas placed at the foot of the tree. This is done by combs or rakes with long sleeves or by shaking the tree.

La méthode consistant à faire tomber les fruits de l'arbre, si elle permet de diminuer la durée des opérations de cueillette, présente de nombreux inconvénients, en premier lieu celui d'avoir à ramasser les fruits à terre ce qui non seulement demande du temps et du personnel, mais cause la détérioration de nombreux fruits écrasés ou abîmés par les outils de ramassage. The method of dropping the fruit from the tree, if it makes it possible to reduce the duration of the picking operations, has many disadvantages, firstly that of having to collect the fruit on the ground, which not only requires time. and personnel, but causes the deterioration of many fruits crushed or damaged by the collection tools.

L'utilisation d'un filet ou d'une toile permet d'améliorer la situation, mais l'obligation de déplacer ce filet après ramassage des fruits, puis de le déployer au pied de l'arbre suivant, fait que le gain de temps et de main- d'#uvre n'est guère significatif. The use of a net or a canvas makes it possible to improve the situation, but the obligation to move this net after collecting the fruit, then to deploy it at the foot of the next tree, saves time and labor is hardly significant.

Quant au procédé consistant â secouer les arbres, quel que soit le moyen utilisé, il est actuellement pratiquement abandonné en raison du risque d'endommager gravement l'arbre, surtout s'il s'agit d'un olivier. En effet, la cueillette des olives a lieu au début de l'année, c'est-à-dire par temps froid. A cette époque, l'arbre est extrêmement fragile, et il n'est pas rare de voir un olivier commencer à dépérir deux ou trois ans après avoir subi ce genre de traitement. Le dispositif selon la présente invention a pour objectif de remédier à ces inconvénients. I1 permet en effet de diminuer considérablement la main-d'#uvre et le temps nécessaires, tout en ne demandant qu'un investissement très raisonnable et en supprimant les risques de détérioration des fruits. As for the process of shaking the trees, whatever the means used, it is currently practically abandoned because of the risk of seriously damaging the tree, especially if it is an olive tree. The picking of olives takes place at the start of the year, that is to say in cold weather. At this time, the tree is extremely fragile, and it is not uncommon to see an olive tree begin to die two or three years after having undergone this kind of treatment. The device according to the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks. It indeed makes it possible to considerably reduce the manpower and time required, while requiring only a very reasonable investment and eliminating the risks of deterioration of the fruits.

Il est constitué d'une plate-forme accrochée aux trois points d'un tracteur agricole de petite ou moyenne catégorie permettant de le régler en hauteur. Cette plate-forme étant destinée à recevoir les fruits et pouvant basculer vers l'avant de manière à faire tomber ceux-ci dans un palox ou un sac. La plate-forme comportant deux parties mobiles fixées par des charnières sur la partie centrale, pour permettre le déplacement sur route en les repliant. It consists of a platform attached to the three points of a small or medium category agricultural tractor allowing it to be adjusted in height. This platform being intended to receive the fruits and being able to tilt forward so as to make them fall into a palox or a bag. The platform comprising two mobile parts fixed by hinges on the central part, to allow movement on the road by folding them.

Sur les dessins schématiques annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs de forme de réalisation de l'objet. La figure 1 représente le dispositif vu de côté avec le positionnement en hauteur adapté à la configuration de l'arbre. La figure 2 est une vue de dessus du dispositif en position de cueillette, les parties latérales étant dépliées. La figure 3 montre, vu de côté, le dispositif en position de vidage des olives dans un palox ou un sac, la plate-forme basculée vers l'avant grâce à un vérin hydraulique de levage commandé à partir du tracteur agricole. La figure 4 est une vue de dessus, les parties latérales repliées pour être au gabarit du réseau routier. In the appended schematic drawings, given by way of nonlimiting examples of embodiment of the object. Figure 1 shows the device seen from the side with the height positioning adapted to the configuration of the shaft. Figure 2 is a top view of the device in the picking position, the side parts being unfolded. FIG. 3 shows, seen from the side, the device in the position of emptying the olives into a palox or a bag, the platform tilted forward thanks to a hydraulic lifting cylinder controlled from the agricultural tractor. Figure 4 is a top view, the side parts folded to be the size of the road network.

Le dispositif, figures 1 à 4 est constitué d'une plate-forme 1 portant un plateau 2 pouvant basculer vers l'avant grâce à un vérin de levage 3. The device, FIGS. 1 to 4 consists of a platform 1 carrying a plate 2 which can tilt forwards thanks to a lifting cylinder 3.

La plate-forme 1 est accrochée à un tracteur agricole 5. La hauteur de travail et la correction du dévers sont assurés par le dispositif de relevage du tracteur. Le plateau 2, destiné à recevoir les olives peut être en bois ou métallique ou constitué d'une grille métallique percée de trous au diamètre des olives. Ce plateau comporte à l'avant une trappe de vidage des olives 4. The platform 1 is attached to an agricultural tractor 5. The working height and the correction of the slope are ensured by the lifting device of the tractor. The tray 2, intended to receive the olives can be made of wood or metal or consists of a metal grid pierced with holes the diameter of the olives. This tray has at the front an olive emptying hatch 4.

Ce plateau peut supporter un plancher surélevé amovible en bois ou en aluminium de façon à permettre d'atteindre les branches les plus hautes. This tray can support a removable raised wooden or aluminum floor in order to reach the highest branches.

La plate-forme peut être équipée d'un système de chauffage constitué d'un brûleur à fioul 11 et d'un pulseur actionné par la prise de force du tracteur. Ce système de chauffage prend place entre le tracteur et la plate-forme, il est destiné tant à sécher les olives, permettant ainsi la récolte plus tôt le matin et par temps humide, qu'à fournir aux opérateurs une ambiance de travail plus tolérable. The platform can be equipped with a heating system consisting of an oil burner 11 and a blower actuated by the PTO of the tractor. This heating system takes place between the tractor and the platform, it is intended both to dry the olives, allowing the harvest earlier in the morning and in wet weather, than to provide operators with a more tolerable working atmosphere.

La récolte s'effectue en amenant la plate-forme portée par le tracteur au plus près du tronc de l'arbre à traiter, en la positionnant horizontalement et en hauteur par les commandes du tracteur, puis en assurant sa stabilisation au moyen de la béquille 6 et en dépliant les plaques latérales 2. Sa forme échancrée permet de ceinturer l'arbre.Une bâche 12 fixée par des sandows assurant son maintien au tronc de cet arbre. Harvesting is carried out by bringing the platform carried by the tractor as close as possible to the trunk of the tree to be treated, by positioning it horizontally and in height by the tractor controls, then by ensuring its stabilization by means of the stand. 6 and by unfolding the side plates 2. Its scalloped shape makes it possible to surround the tree. A tarpaulin 12 fixed by bungee cords ensuring that it is held in the trunk of this tree.

Les bordures externes de la plate-forme et des plaques latérales comportent des bâches 10 sur leur périphérie, ceci afin d'augmenter la surface de réception des fruits et de contribuer à la sécurité des opérateurs. Ceux-ci, à l'aide de peignes ou de râteaux font tomber les fruits sur les plaques latérales inclinées prolongées de leurs bâches ou directement sur le plateau. Il suffit ensuite de relever le plateau au moyen du vérin 3 pour faire glisser les olives par la trappe 4 et les recevoir dans la palox 7 avant d'amener l'engin de l'autre côté de l'arbre pour terminer la cueillette. The external edges of the platform and the side plates have tarpaulins 10 on their periphery, this in order to increase the surface for receiving the fruit and to contribute to the safety of the operators. These, using combs or rakes, drop the fruit on the inclined side plates extended by their tarpaulins or directly on the tray. Then simply raise the tray by means of the jack 3 to slide the olives through the hatch 4 and receive them in the palox 7 before bringing the machine to the other side of the tree to finish picking.

Grâce au dispositif qui vient d'être décrit, la récolte peut s'effectuer dans d'excellentes conditions, très rapidement, avec un personnel réduit et sans risque d'abîmer les fruits. Thanks to the device which has just been described, the harvesting can be carried out in excellent conditions, very quickly, with a reduced staff and without risk of damaging the fruits.

Le positionnement des divers éléments constitutifs donne à l'objet de l'invention un maximum d'effets utiles qui n'avaient pas été, à ce jour, obtenus par des dispositifs similaires.The positioning of the various constituent elements gives the object of the invention a maximum of useful effects which had not, to date, been obtained by similar devices.
