Figure 3 is a partial cutaway perspective view of the pepper harvester of the present invention.
Figure 4 is an exemplary view showing the configuration of the selection unit of the present invention.

Next, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the embodiment shown in the drawings.

As shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, the pepper harvester of the present invention, the running unit 10 for running in the center of the pepper plantation (pit) and the pepper (fruit) coming forward in accordance with the running of the driving unit tree The harvesting unit 20 for harvesting in, and the selection unit 30 for removing the twigs or leaves flies from the harvest harvested from the detachment unit 20. The driving unit 10, the room 20, and the sorting unit 30 of the pepper harvester are substantially supported by the main frame of the pepper harvester.

The pepper harvester of the present invention is capable of traveling, and in this specification, the mainframe may support all the components constituting the pepper harvester as a whole as described below in addition to the main components described above. Next, each component of the pepper harvester of the present invention will be described.

In the illustrated embodiment, it can be seen that the running portion 10 of the pepper harvester is composed of a pair of crawlers. Such a crawler is driven based on the output of the engine, and the pair of crawlers are driven with the dump where pepper is grown. And it can be said that the running part in the present invention can not be limited to such a crawler. When the driving unit 10 is configured by a pair of crawlers as shown in the illustrated embodiment, it is expected that stability and safety may be sufficiently secured in actual work.

And the room | chamber detachment part 20 for picking fruit picks up red pepper from the branch which enters inwardly by running. The detachment unit 20 is composed of a pair of helix wire assembly 22 rotatably supported with respect to the main frame described above. The helix wire assembly 22 is composed of a rotating shaft 22a forming a central axis, and a helix wire 22b wound while having a helix shape with respect to the rotating shaft. Here, the helix wire 22b is installed to rotate in conjunction with the rotating shaft 22a.

This pair of helix wire assembly 22, when the rotating shaft 22a is rotated by the transmitted power (for example, the engine or a separate motor), the helix wire 22b hits the pepper hanging on the stem This will separate the pepper from the stem. And power transmission in the engine will be able to transmit to the rotating shaft 22a through a transmission means such as a sprocket and chain or pulley and belt. And of course, it is preferable that only red pepper is separated in this process, but in fact, some leaves and twigs will be separated as described above.

Such a helix wire assembly 22 is provided with a constant inclination, specifically, it is provided inclined so as to increase from front to rear. Thus, the inclined helix wire assembly 22 will be able to harvest all the peppers that are open in the high portion from the peppers that are substantially open in the lower portion. And it would be desirable that the spacing of the pair of helix wire assemblies 22 have substantially the best spacing for harvesting peppers.

The lower part of the pair of helix wire assembly 22 is provided with a desealing conveying part 24 for conveying the peppers and the like. Such a room conveyance part 24 may be constituted by a pair of conveyors 24a which are installed outside the helix wire assembly 22 and at the same time, and such a roome conveyance part conveyor 24a is a helix wire assembly 22. In the same manner as in Fig. 1), since it is installed in a state inclined upward toward the rear, it is preferable that a flow preventing partition 24b is installed to prevent the peppers, etc., harvested in the middle thereof from flowing downward.

Here, the helix wire 22b is rotated in a direction of impacting from below to the pepper tree. Therefore, the red pepper may have a tendency to fall downward after moving slightly upward by the strike of the helix wire 22b. In consideration of the movement of the pepper, a pair of side walls 28 having a constant height is installed on both outer sides of the escape chamber transfer part 24, so that the harvested pepper does not go out to the outside of the above described escape chamber transfer part 24. It is desirable to be able to collect on the conveyor 24a. In addition, a ceiling 29 may be provided on the upper surface of the pair of side walls 28, and the side walls 28 may be supported by the main frame of the pepper harvester.

Thus, the red pepper harvested by the above-described helix wire assembly 22 (including some leaves) is moved upward along the conveyor 24a of the desealing transfer part 24, and the most of the conveyor 24a At the rear end, it falls downward and moves to the sorting section 30. The sorting unit 30 in the pepper harvester of the present invention is a portion for removing foreign substances (leaves and small stems, etc.) leaving only the red peppers in the harvest collected in the above-described chambering unit 20.

As described above, in the desorption process, foreign substances such as red pepper leaves or small branches may be collected as well, and the sorting unit 30 is a portion for removing such foreign substances and selecting only pure fruit. Here, the position where the sorting part 30 is provided is a rear upper part of the detachment | deviation part 20 inclined upward upward. Therefore, since the sorting unit 30 may have a relatively high position on the ground, a predetermined space is formed below the sorting unit 30.

In the present invention, by installing a power source in the lower portion of the sorting unit 30 is configured to minimize the overall volume of the pepper harvester. That is, by installing the engine and the mission in the lower portion of the sorting unit 30, it becomes effective to use the lower space of the sorting unit 30, by this configuration to make the most efficient use of the overall height and internal space of the pepper harvester Can be. And such engines and missions are of course supported by the mainframe of pepper harvester.

Here, the sorting unit 30 includes a sorting unit conveyor 32 capable of receiving and transporting a harvest supplied from the detachment unit conveyor 24a, and a tree included in a harvest installed and transported above the sorting unit conveyor 32. It consists of a number of shredding rollers 34 that break branches into very small pieces. The plurality of shredding rollers 34 has a function of shredding the branches contained in the harvest into small pieces, and fruit may be separated in the process of the shredding.

Here, a plurality of shredding rollers 34 are installed at the upper part of the sorting part conveyor 32, and are configured to pull the branches in the harvest conveyed onto the sorting part conveyor 32. That is, the 1st shredding roller 34a and the 2nd shredding roller 34b provided on the sorting part conveyor 32 are provided in small intervals so that a twig may be pulled up between them. Here, each of the shredding rollers 34 is provided with a plurality of feed teeth FT on its outer surface, and is transferred to the sorting part conveyor 32 between the first shredding roller 34a and the second shredding roller 34b. The branches are caught and pulled up.

The branches pulled between the first shredding roller 34a and the second shredding roller 34b again pass between the third shredding roller 34c and the second shredding roller 34b. In this way, the branches pass twice between the shredding rollers 34. In this process, the branches are smallly broken and at the same time, the peppers (fruits) attached to the branches are expected to be separated by the interaction through the pruning. .

According to the illustrated embodiment, it can be seen that it is configured to pass between the roller substantially two times while passing through the three crushing roller (34a, 34b, 34c). However, the arrangement and configuration of the shredding roller will not be limited to this embodiment, and many modifications are possible within the technical scope to allow the fruit to be separated as the harvest including the branches passes therebetween. .

And when viewed from the harvest flow, while passing through the second shredding roller 34b and the third shredding roller 34c located on the most downstream side, the finely broken branches fall back onto the sorting conveyor 32. When passing through the end of the sorting part conveyor 32 while being transferred in this way, it falls to the upstream (inlet) side of the second sorting part 30 located below. And falling on the sorting conveyor 32 in this way, the pepper leaves and peppers, which are transferred as it is in the sorting conveyor 32, and the finely broken branches and separated pepper while passing through the shredding roller (34).

As shown in FIG. 3, the harvest on the sorting part conveyor 32 falls to the inclination guide plate 38 provided in the rear end. The inclined guide plate 38 is installed to guide the harvest to the bag or the like. In addition, a slight gap is generated between the inclined guide plate 38 and the selection unit conveyor 32. A blower 39 for blowing leaves (flies) and twigs by blowing wind (air flow) between the gaps is provided. When the blower 39 is operated, it can be seen that the light foreign matter is blown out of the harvest falling to the inclined guide plate 38, so that only pepper can be guided downward.

As described above, the sorting unit 30 of the present invention has a function of crushing a relatively large tree branch to a smaller size than the fruit (pepper) of the harvest harvested from the chambering unit 20, and light foreign matters You can see that it has a blowing function. In addition, the sorting unit 30 is configured to be connected to the rear of the detachment unit 20 having a high inclination at the rear side, and the engine and the mission are arranged under the sorting unit 30 so as to be compact. I can see that I want to.

As can be seen with reference to Figure 1, the driving unit 40 is provided on the side of the compartment 20 and the sorting unit 30. Although a specific illustration of such a driving unit 40 is omitted, it is obvious that various operation devices for seating and adjustment for the driver to sit are installed, and the driving unit 40 is supported by the main frame described above. Will be.

And a pair of dividers 52 are installed in front of the pepper harvester, this divider 52 can be said to distinguish the object to be removed by entering the inside of the chamber 20. The spacing of the dividers 52 here is approximately similar to the sidewall 28 described above. Of course, it is preferable that such a divider 52 is also connected to and supported by the main frame.

In addition, according to the illustrated embodiment, the front wheel of the pepper harvester is provided with a guide wheel 54 which is ultimately connected to the main frame. The guide wheels 54 are supported in an inclined state so as to have shapes that are far upward and near downward. Since the guide wheel 54 is supported while being in contact with both sides of the pits of the plantation, the guide wheels 54 come into contact with both sides of the pits during rolling of the harvester. In this way, if the inclined contact and rotation on both sides of the toad is expected to further secure the driving stability of the pepper harvester, which must travel substantially along the toad.

Pepper pepper harvester of the present invention as described above, it can be seen that by optimizing the arrangement of each component is designed to have sufficient efficiency while having the optimum volume. And the scope of protection of the present invention is naturally to be interpreted based on the description of the claims.
