FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to agricultural machinery, in particular, to devices for harvesting fruits.

A device for collecting fruits, containing its working body for picking up fruits and catchers, is known.

It is also known device containing a working body, made in the form of fingers, fixed sectionally on a vertical shaft, and the catcher 2.

However, when collecting fruits with a known device, the fruits are damaged due to the fact that when moving in the crown they beat the branches.

In addition, the known devices cannot work qualitatively on the formulations with the fruit in regular arrangement.

The purpose of the invention is to reduce the damage to fruits at their regular harvest.

The goal is achieved by the fact that the device is equipped with additional catchers, which are placed under each section of the fingers and fixed on the vertical shaft.

In addition, the catchers are made in the form of having windows in the bottoms of glasses with funnels, the surfaces of which are covered with an elastic material.

Each section has at least two rows of fingers, the lower of which is located in the glass.

Moreover, the fingers of the working bodies are made in the form of elastic combs, the teeth of which are located in the vertical and horizontal planes.

FIG. 1 shows a device for collecting fruits, side view; in fig. 2 - catcher, plan view; in fig. 3 - working

10 organ for fruits with elastic combs.

The fruit harvesting device consists of a vertical shaft 1 with 2 fruit catchers fixed on it and working bodies 3 for removal. The 2 fruit catchers in the middle have glasses 4, in which on one side there are windows 5 intended for unloading the harvested crop onto the vertical fruit-feeding conveyors of the fruit-harvesting region.

20 Fruit catchers on top are covered with a soft elastic material, which reduces damage to the crop when it falls on the catching surface.

Claims (2)

Each tool body 3 for picking fruits consists of two sickle-shaped or conventional radial combs with vertical flexible fingers 6 and 7 and one or more radial combs with horizontal flexible fingers 8. Vertical and horizontal flexible fingers of radial combs, like the surface of fruit catchers, are covered with m ductile elastic materials. Fruit catchers on the rotor shaft are fixed by means of support bearings 9, clamped at the ends by spacer sleeves 10. At the upper and lower ends of the vertical shaft 1 of the rotor there are support plates 11, 12 with bearings that secure the working body to the machine frame (not shown). At the lower end of the vertical shaft 1, under the lower base plate 12, there is a pulley or sprocket 13, by means of which the rotor turns around the vertical axis in a given direction. Remote sleeves 10 serve to mount the sections of the fingers and catchers 2 of the fruit on the vertical shaft 1, and the longitudinal key (not shown) prevents the radial combs from turning in the opposite direction, allowing the hubs of the radial combs to be freezed up and back during expansion. , on their vertical shaft 1. The device for collecting fruits works as follows. When the device moves around the garden between the rotational motion from the engine in, internal combustion or hydraulic motor operating from an autonomous hydraulic pump station installed behind the tractor or on the combine frame, it is transmitted to the vertical shaft 1, which together with it rotates the working body 3 around the vertical axis consisting of ordinary or sickle-shaped radial combs with flexible fingers 6, 7 and 8. The working body 3 rotates around the vertical axis with the continuous movement of the entire device between the rows of the garden and horizontally. The ntal openings cut by a milling cutter or other machines between the Rus of the skeletal and semi-skeletal branches in the crowns of the trees, as a result of which the flexible fingers of the radial combs 6, 7 and 8, interact with the fruit sprigs and ringworms, separate the fruits from the fruit formations on the principle of scratching and discard them on the surface of catchers 2, moved under each urse of skeletal and semi-skeletal branches. When the rotor of the working body rotates around the vertical axis, crescent-shaped or straight rails of lower radial combs 7 rotating in cups 4 capture the fruits taken from the trees and move them to the windows 5 through which the harvested crop drops vertical fruit feedings on inclined planes of the receiving trays conveyors. The fixed and stable position of the catchers of the 2 fruits, rigidly fixed on the rotating vertical shaft, is provided by fastening the cylindrical part of the catchers by means of support bearings (not shown). The use of the proposed device for collecting fruits will significantly reduce the damage to fruits during their removal. Claim 1. Device for collecting fruits, containing a working body, made in the form of fingers, sectionally fixed on a vertical shaft, and a catcher, characterized in that, in order to reduce damage to fruits during their harvest, the device is equipped with additional catchers, which placed under each section of the fingers and mounted on a vertical shaft. 2. The device according to claim 1, characterized in that the catchers are made in a type having windows in the bottoms of glasses with funnels, the surfaces of which are covered with an elastic material. 3. A device according to claim 2, characterized in that each section has at least two rows of fingers, the lower of which is located in the glass. 4. The device according to claim 3, characterized in that the fingers of the working bodies are made in the form of elastic combs, the teeth of which are located in the vertical and horizontal planes.
