Description

V HICULE POUR LA R COLTE DE FRUITSV HICULE FOR FRUIT HARVESTING

L'objet de cette invention concerne un véhicule pour la récolte de fruits offrant des avantages 5 remarquables par rapport aux autres véhicules ou machines actuellement connues pour le même objet.  The object of this invention relates to a vehicle for harvesting fruit offering remarkable advantages over other vehicles or machines currently known for the same object.

ANTECEDENTS DE L'INVENTION On connaît, par exemple, le brevet ES 2148060 concernant une machine pour la récolte de fruits comprenant: un bâti muni de moyens d'autopropulsion et de déplacement contrôlé de la machine, des moyens pour la commander, des moyens pour déplacer les fruits, un 15 transporteur à bande comportant un tronçon incliné et un tronçon vertical de déchargement, un dispositif d'actionnement de ces moyens, des platesformes horizontales latérales pourvues d'une structure de soutien pour les utilisateurs et une plate-forme 20 horizontale montée pivotante et munie de moyens pour retenir à sa position un récipient de chargement dans lequel sont déposés les fruits que transportent ces moyens de déplacement.  BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION For example, patent ES 2148060 is known concerning a machine for harvesting fruit comprising: a frame provided with means of self-propelling and of controlled movement of the machine, means for controlling it, means for moving the fruit, a belt conveyor comprising an inclined section and a vertical unloading section, an actuating device for these means, lateral horizontal platforms provided with a support structure for the users and a horizontal platform pivotally mounted and provided with means for retaining in its position a loading container in which the fruits are transported by these means of movement.

Cette plate-forme reste fixée verticalement et le 25 tronçon de déchargement se déplace verticalement durant l'opération de remplissage du récipient de chargement.  This platform remains fixed vertically and the unloading section moves vertically during the operation of filling the loading container.

Conventionnellement, ces machines comprennent deux roues avant et deux roues arrière; les roues avant ne sont que directrices tandis que les roues arrière ne sont que 30 motrices.  Conventionally, these machines include two front wheels and two rear wheels; the front wheels are only steerable while the rear wheels are only 30 drive.

Quant au système de freinage, mis à part le fait d'avoir un frein à main, utile uniquement pour bloquer la machine en tant que véhicule lorsqu'elle est arrêtée, pour la plupart de ces machines le système de freinage 35 fonctionne au moyen d'un variateur de vitesse qui n'est pas valable pour rouler sur la route.  As for the braking system, apart from having a hand brake, useful only for blocking the machine as a vehicle when it is stopped, for most of these machines the braking system 35 operates by means of '' a variable speed drive which is not valid for driving on the road.

La machine décrite, ainsi que d'autres du même genre, doivent avoir une bonne manoeuvrabilité aussi bien pour se déplacer entre les arbres que pour se déplacer vers des lieux relativement éloignés, et, un 5 inconvénient de ces machines consiste précisément dans l'agencement de leurs roues et dans leur système de freinage signalé.  The machine described, as well as others of the same kind, must have good maneuverability both for moving between trees and for moving to relatively distant places, and a disadvantage of these machines consists precisely in the arrangement of their wheels and in their braking system reported.

En ce qui concerne le premier brevet dans lequel, comme il a été dit, il n'y a que deux roues directrices 10 et deux roues motrices, à cause de l'envergure de la machine ces roues ne peuvent pas lui fournir une grande capacité de manoeuvre ni une capacité totale de préhension et de fonctionnement sur le sol, notamment sur des terrains irréguliers.  With regard to the first patent in which, as has been said, there are only two steered wheels 10 and two driving wheels, because of the size of the machine these wheels cannot provide it with a large capacity of maneuver nor a total grip and operating capacity on the ground, especially on uneven terrain.

Par ailleurs, il faut un système de freinage ayant une réponse rapide lui permettant de circuler sur la route conformément aux prescriptions routières en vigueur; le dispositif de freinage à main, comme cela est évident, n'est utile que pour bloquer ou immobiliser 20 la machine à un moment donné.  In addition, a braking system with a rapid response is required which enables it to travel on the road in accordance with the road regulations in force; the hand brake, as is evident, is only useful for locking or immobilizing the machine at a given time.

BREVE DESCRIPTION DU BREVET D'INVENTION  BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION PATENT

Le véhicule pour la récolte de fruits, objet de la 25 présente invention présente l'avantage que ses quatre roues sont directrices en même temps que motrices, ce qui lui donne une plus grande capacité de manoeuvre et une capacité supérieure de préhension et de fonctionnement sur le sol.  The fruit harvesting vehicle object of the present invention has the advantage that its four wheels are steered at the same time as driving, which gives it greater maneuvering capacity and a higher grip and operating capacity on floor.

Par ailleurs, ce véhicule possède également un frein à pédale lui permettant de freiner efficacement à un moment donné de son déplacement et de pouvoir circuler, ainsi sur une route en se conformant aux conditions routières requises. Tout cela est expliqué 35 plus loin.  Furthermore, this vehicle also has a pedal brake allowing it to brake effectively at a given moment of its movement and to be able to circulate, thus on a road while conforming to the required road conditions. All of this is explained below.

BREVE DESCRIPTION DES DESSINSBRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Afin de faciliter la description suivante, trois  In order to facilitate the following description, three

figures sont annexées, à titre d'exemple illustratif uniquement, dans lesquelles: - la figure 1 est une projection latérale de ce véhicule perfectionné pour la récolte de fruits.  Figures are appended, by way of illustrative example only, in which: - Figure 1 is a side projection of this improved vehicle for fruit harvesting.

- la figure 2 est une vue simplifiée et en partie, également en projection, de la partie 10 arrière de ce même véhicule, et - la figure 3 est une vue en perspective du poste de conduite et de commande de ce véhicule.  - Figure 2 is a simplified view, in part, also in projection, of the rear part of this same vehicle, and - Figure 3 is a perspective view of the driving and control station of this vehicle.

REALISATION CONCRETE DU BREVET D'INVENTION DEMANDE Conformément à ces figures (Fig. 1) le véhicule perfectionné (1) pour la récolte de fruits, objet de cette invention, comprend sur un plan basique un châssis (2) et un bâti (3), deux roues avant (4) et deux roues 20 arrière (5).  CONCRETE REALIZATION OF THE PATENT OF INVENTION APPLIED In accordance with these figures (Fig. 1) the improved vehicle (1) for harvesting fruit, object of this invention, comprises on a basic plane a frame (2) and a frame (3) , two front wheels (4) and two rear wheels (5).

Sur une partie du même châssis (2) est placé le compartiment du moteur (7) (comme il est du genre conventionnel on n'en parlera pas en détail), et sur le bâti (3) sont placées deux paires de plates-formes de 25 travail (8), (9) à divers niveaux (dans cette Fig. 1 on ne peut voir que les plates-formes d'un côté du véhicule, le gauche).  On a part of the same chassis (2) is placed the engine compartment (7) (as it is of the conventional kind we will not talk about it in detail), and on the frame (3) are placed two pairs of platforms working (8), (9) at various levels (in this Fig. 1 you can only see the platforms on one side of the vehicle, the left).

Entre les plates-formes sur l'un et l'autre côtés du véhicule (1) traverse un transporteur à bande (6) 30 ayant d'une part un tronçon incliné (10) pour récolter les fruits à ces divers niveaux et d'autre part un tronçon vertical (11) de déchargement vers un récipient non illustré.  Between the platforms on either side of the vehicle (1) passes through a conveyor belt (6) 30 having on the one hand an inclined section (10) to harvest the fruits at these various levels and on the other hand a vertical section (11) of unloading towards a container not shown.

Entre les plates-formes du niveau le plus élevé 35 (9) se trouve le poste de commandement du véhicule avec le pupitre (12), le volant (13), le levier du frein à main (14) et d'autres éléments de commande.  Between the platforms of the highest level 35 (9) is the vehicle command post with the console (12), the steering wheel (13), the handbrake lever (14) and other elements of ordered.

Il faut remarquer que dans ce véhicule perfectionné, aussi bien les roues avant (4) que les roues arrière (5) sont motrices; elles sont reliées au moteur (7) par des éléments de transmission connus.  It should be noted that in this improved vehicle, both the front wheels (4) and the rear wheels (5) are driven; they are connected to the motor (7) by known transmission elements.

Par ailleurs, en plus des roues avant, les roues arrière (5) sont également directrices, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2 o on note la branche d'essieu (15) de chaque roue (5) associée à des barres de commande (16).  Furthermore, in addition to the front wheels, the rear wheels (5) are also steerable, as can be seen in FIG. 2 where there is the axle branch (15) of each wheel (5) associated with bars of control (16).

D'autre part, et selon la figure (3), sur un des côtés du pupitre de commande (12) se trouve la pédale du frein (17) actionnant un système de freinage qui peut agir sur les quatre roues (4, 5) durant la marche du 15 véhicule, qui pourra être du type à tambour et/ou disque et qui, avantageusement, sera assisté par un dispositif de servofrein connu.  On the other hand, and according to Figure (3), on one side of the control console (12) is the brake pedal (17) actuating a braking system which can act on the four wheels (4, 5) during the running of the vehicle, which may be of the drum and / or disc type and which, advantageously, will be assisted by a known brake booster device.

Comme il ressort de ce qui a été décrit, ce véhicule pour la récolte de fruits offre d'excellentes 20 conditions de manoeuvrabilité et de fonctionnement sur le terrain grâce à ses quatre roues directrices et motrices en même temps, et également la possibilité de freiner, non seulement lorsqu'il est arrêté à un moment donné à un certain endroit mais aussi durant son 25 fonctionnement.  As is apparent from what has been described, this fruit harvesting vehicle offers excellent conditions of maneuverability and operation in the field thanks to its four steering and driving wheels at the same time, and also the possibility of braking, not only when it is stopped at a given time in a certain place but also during its operation.

Un cas de réalisation pratique étant largement décrit et illustré, il faut noter que ce véhicule pour la récolte de fruits pourra être construit avec des matériaux plus appropriés, dans la taille qui conviendra 30 et avec les moyens les plus appropriés, tout cela étant compris dans l'esprit de la revendication suivante.  A practical case being widely described and illustrated, it should be noted that this vehicle for harvesting fruit can be constructed with more suitable materials, in the size that will be suitable and with the most appropriate means, all of this being included in the spirit of the following claim.
