Abstract

FIELD: equipment for manual harvesting of fruits, such as apples, pears and like fruits. SUBSTANCE: fruit picker has fruit receiving ring with accumulating container. Ring is fixed on pole by means of holder and is inclined to axis of pole for an angle of 75-85 deg. Y-shaped gripping recess of ring is provided with retaining slot for tearing off fruit stem. Leg of stocking is used as accumulating container and protected from outside by film hose. Inner surface of ring is coated with sponge rubber. Pole part positioned at the level of lower edge of accumulating container is also covered with sponge rubber. Such construction allows fruits to be picked without damage and separated without shaking. Polyethylene hose protects accumulating container from clinging branches. EFFECT: increased efficiency, simplified construction and improved quality of picked fruits. 2 cl, 3 dwg

Description

 The invention relates to devices for manual harvesting of fruits.

 Known fruit pickers, the design of which includes a hopper or a fruit collector mounted on a pole and devices for separating fruits: grippers or cutting organs (see ed. St. N 1041063 and N 1445614, class A 01 46/24). They are simple in design, but do not provide high quality to the removed fruit and are inconvenient in work, because the grips and the cutting organ cling to the branches and become clogged with foliage.

 A device for collecting fruits (see ed. St. N 810132, class A 01 D 46/24), consisting of a container, a fixed bracket and a movable spring-loaded grip with a lever connected by a flexible element and a drive. The bracket and grip are pivotally mounted using a screw on the collet.

 A disadvantage of the known device is that, eliminating damage to the fruit when hitting the rigid walls of the receptacle, it did not eliminate their collisions, and the presence of hinges entails their seizure due to clogging with foliage and small bark. In addition, the principle of twisting the peduncle, which is the foundation of the design, is not effective for insufficient ripeness of the fruit, since it forces the fruit to be torn off with force, which causes shedding of more mature fruits.

 The aim of the invention is to remedy these shortcomings, simplifying the design and ensuring high quality of the removed fruits.

 The goal in the proposed design is achieved by the fact that the functions of the receptacle and capture are combined in it in one device of the receiving ring, which is equipped with a U-shaped cut-capture with a fixing slot for separating the fruit from the branches. In this case, the receiving ring is fixed to the holder at a certain angle, which ensures reliable operation of the fruit lifter with significant inclinations.

 On the receiving ring of the fruit extractor, using a screed, a storage tank is attached, which is made of a stocking pagolenka and placed in a film sleeve. Such a device storage capacity allows you to take fruits gently, protecting from shock, and the film sleeve protects from clinging bitches.

 The inner surface of the receiving ring and the pole of the fruit collector at the level of the lower edge of the storage tank are glued with sponge rubber, which protects the fruits from damage during capture and during operation.

 In FIG. 1 shows a fruit stand; in FIG. 2 receiving ring with a cut-out capture and a fixing hole on the holder; in FIG. 3 scheme of capture and separation of the fruit.

 In FIG. 1 shows: a fruit picker, consisting of a receiving ring 1, glued inside with sponge rubber 2. On the receiving ring 1, a storage tank 4 is fixed using a tie 3, placed in a film sleeve 5. The receiving ring 1 is mounted on a holder 8, into which a pole 7 is inserted glued at the level of the lower edge of the storage tank with sponge rubber 6. A U-shaped cut-out capture 9 is made in the center of the holder 8 on the cylindrical surface of the receiving ring 1. Cut-out capture 9 ends with a fixing slot 10.

 In the process, the fruit puller is brought to the fetus and encloses it in the receiving ring so that the peduncle falls into the locking slot of the capture cut-out, which does not allow it to escape. Then, by half-turns of the pole around its axis in one direction or another, the fetus is separated from the knot and lowered by its own weight onto the soft walls of the storage tank. The next fetus is removed in the same way. Dropping into the storage tank, it hangs over the previously removed fruit. As they accumulate, the fruits touch each other without bumps or damage. A filled fruit picker is lowered and laid on the ground. To release it, just raise the bottom of the storage tank and shake it slightly. Fruits in the reverse order will exit the storage tank.

 Using the proposed fruit lifter facilitates labor, increases productivity, fully saves the fruits from damage.

Claims (1)
