Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of machines for harvesting fruit.
- the machine according to this document of the prior art is composed of two prefabricated tractor modules, each comprising two front and rear wheels, and two prefabricated transport modules by conveyors, each comprising a lower conveyor and a lift conveyor aligned in the same vertical plane . These modules are connected by simple structural elements. The modules are parallel and their spacing corresponds to the spacing of the rows of vine stocks.
- the machine also includes prefabricated components such as picking heads, a tank and controls. This prior art machine can be mounted in the user's vineyard to match the characteristics of this vineyard.
- Such a machine allows adaptation of the track to different planting spacings. On the other hand, it has a constant shaking width. It therefore does not allow adaptation to different types of plantations.
- the purpose of the present invention is to provide a versatile machine allowing the same machine to be used for different crops, for example the grape harvest and also the olive picking, after adaptation of the shaking width.
- the invention relates in its most general sense to a multipurpose fruit harvesting machine constituted by a straddle frame carrying shaking members capable of driving the spanned vegetation in an alternative lateral shaking movement (or any other system ) and means for conveying the harvested products from the shaking zone to a fruit collection element characterized in that it consists of two sub-frames arranged on either side of the median longitudinal plane, each of the sub -frame carrying a shaking, conveying means, the spacing of the two subframe being adjustable.
- each of the sub-frames supports a half shaking element, a receiving system with scales, a conveyor belt, allowing the transport of the harvested fruit from one of the sides of the shaking zone to 'to a storage bin.
- each of the sub-chassis supports shaking members.
- the shaking members are thus moved concomitantly with the sub-chassis, unlike the devices of the prior art where the sub-chassis could be moved apart to modify the wheelbase of the machine, but where the shaking members retained a unchanged spacing.
- Such a device of the prior art therefore did not allow adaptation to the type of fruit to be harvested.
- each of the sub-chassis supports shaking members adjustable in length and / or in orientation.
- the machine according to the invention comprises a pendulum support articulated around at least one longitudinal axis, and supporting the lateral shaking members.
- the machine according to the invention comprises at least one jack for varying the spacing of the sub-chassis.
- the shaking elements are associated with sealing means formed by scales.
- each of the sub-frames supports sealing means formed by at least two rows of scales, said scales overlapping with a variable width as a function of the spacing between the sub-frames.
- each sub-frame supports a series of at least 18 superimposed shaking members. This unusual number optimizes the collection of berries on tall hedges or fruit trees, such as olive trees.
- FIG. 1 and 2 show schematic views of the machine in a narrow position, respectively in front view and in top view;
- FIG. 3 and 4 show schematic views of the machine in the wide position, respectively in front view and in top view.
- Figures 1 and 2 show schematic views of the machine in a narrow position, respectively in front view and in top view.
- the machine consists of two sub-chassis (1, 2) each formed by a frame (3, 4) supporting the front wheels (5, 6) and the rear wheels (7, 8), the shaking members (9 , 10) as well as the conveyor belts (11, 12) and the harvesting bins (13, 14).
- the two sub-chassis are connected by adjustable connecting beams (15, 16), provided with jacks making it possible to vary the spacing of the sub-chassis between a minimum width as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, up to a maximum extension as shown in Figures 3 and 4.
- the extension can take all intermediate values, which allows the machine to be adapted to any type of use with optimal harvesting performance.
- the conveyor belts have orientable or extendable scales (20, 21) to ensure a satisfactory seal whatever the type of harvest.
- These conveyor belts may have scales having a variable overlap as a function of the spacing of the sub-chassis.
- the lateral overlap of the adjacent series of flakes varies between a total overlap corresponding to the position in which the two sub-chassis are brought together as much as possible, and a partial overlap corresponding to the position in which the two sub-chassis are distant.
