Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to agricultural machinery.

A known machine for harvesting tomatoes, comprising a successively mounted on a frame, an undercutting machine, a separating elevator, a fruit separator, a lifting elevator mounted above the bulkhead conveyor, and a bunker for collecting fruits.

In order to reduce the damage of green fruits to the elevator lift and provide additional inspection when unloading from the bunker to the vehicle, the elevator in the proposed machine is made of a bar of a bath type, and the fruit bunker is installed inside it and provided with a tray for periodic unloading of fruits to the bulkhead conveyor.

FIG. 1 shows a machine, a longitudinal section in FIG. 2 - the same plan view; in fig. 3 is a system for collecting green fruits (view along arrow A in FIG. 1); in fig. 4 is a view along arrow B in FIG. 3

The machine consists of a pruning machine 1, a separating elevator 2, a fruit separator 3, a bulkhead conveyor 4, an unloading conveyor 5, a system for collecting green fruits.

2

 The system for collecting green fruits (Fig. Zi of Fig. 4) includes a bunker b, a lifting elevator 7 mounted above the bulkhead conveyor 4, a conveyor 8, drive rollers 9 and a tray 10.

The machine works as follows

When moving across the field, apparatus 1 cuts the plants, seizes the top layer of soil along with the bush and falling fruits, delivers the whole mass to the separating elevator 2, which directs the tomato bushes to the fruit separator 3. From the fruit separator, red and green tomatoes enter the bulkhead conveyor 4, on which the green fruits are manually separated from the red ones by transferring them to the conveyor 8, feeding them to the elevator elevator 7, which rotates from the driving rollers 9. The elevator feeds the green fruits to the bunker 6, from which they periodically The skis (as the bunker is filled) are unloaded on the trays 10 onto the bulkhead conveyor 4, where additional inspection (cleaning) of the fruits is carried out, which are then loaded into the standing vehicle by the unloading conveyor 5.

Due to the unloading of green fruit from the bunker to the bulkhead conveyor, the quality of the product is improved, since when unloading to the bulkhead conveyor additional fruit inspection is carried out. In addition, the range of the unloading height increases, as it is adjusted by changing the position of the unloading conveyor, which increases the variety of vehicles used to transport green fruit. Barrel-type elevator, made in the form of a wheel with cells, when loading fruits into the bunker reduces damage to fruits.

Claims (1)

Claims of a tomato harvesting machine comprising a cutting machine sequentially mounted on a frame, a separating elevator, a fruit separator, a lifting propeller mounted above the bulkhead conveyor, and a fruit collecting bin, in order to reduce the damage to the fruit and provide additional inspection , the lifting elevator is drum-type, and the fruit bunker is installed inside it and provided with a tray for periodically unloading the fruit onto the bulkhead conveyor.
