JP2003047316A - Olive fruit harvester - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To mechanize olive harvest to enhance the efficiency of the harvest, and to simultaneously improve the harvested olive fruit into a highly profitable culture crop. SOLUTION: This olive fruit harvester is obtained by attaching a fruit receiver 2 to the lower ends of rake-like lines 1, attaching a fruit-gathering pipe 3 to the lower end of the fruit receiver 2, and further connecting the fruit- gathering pipe 3 to a harvest container. Since the fruits are harvested from a branch by the 90 deg. angle circular longitudinal movement of the rake-like tines 1, the fruits are directly received in the harvest container in one operation in high efficiency, and the length of the fruit-gathering pipe 3 can be adjusted to harvest the fruits on high branches without using a stepladder.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention aims at labor saving of harvesting work by mechanization of olive harvesting, reduction of harvesting cost by efficiency improvement, and improvement of highly economical cultivated crops.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the majority of olives are harvested by hand. Some mass-produced farmers lay a mat on the ground and scrape it off with a hand or a rake-like device to collect fruits. It is considered to be a low-yielding crop due to its small daily yield.

[0003]

As described in the prior art, in order to reduce a great deal of labor and labor, a harvester is used to improve the efficiency and improve the cultivated crop with high economic efficiency.

[0004]

[Means for solving the problems] The harvester is a rake-like nail, a fruit saucer, and a fruit collecting pipe. The fruit collecting container is combined and the rake-like claw is moved by compressed air to scrape it onto the fruit saucer and pass through the collecting fruit pipe to be stored in the fruit collecting container.

[0005]

[Function] The fruit enters the gap between the rake-like claw and the fruit saucer and is scraped off so that it can be stored without falling.

[0006] From one operation to harvesting to storage.

By adjusting the length of the fruit collecting pipe, high places can be harvested without climbing a stepladder.

[0008]

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the rake nail moves backward and forward in a circular shape at an angle of 90 to scrape the fruits and store them at a stretch, so that high labor saving and high efficiency can be obtained.

[0009]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

Since the rake-like claw and the fruit tray move integrally, the container can be stored smoothly without dropping the fruit.

Since one operation can be carried out at once from harvesting to storage, the work efficiency can be improved to improve the economically economical crop.

By adjusting the length of the fruit collecting pipe, it is possible to harvest without raising the stepladder even at a high place, so that there is no need to worry about injuries caused by dropping during work.

Claims (3)

[Claims] 1. A fruit saucer is attached under a rake-like nail. 2. A fruit collecting pipe is installed under the saucer and connected to the harvest container. 3. The rake-like nail harvests fruits from the branches by a circular-like forward and backward movement at an angle of 90 °.
