Exposición de Ia invención La presente invención aporta un dispositivo batidor de peines para recolección de pequeños frutos, aplicable a aceitunas, almendras, café, pistachos, entre otros, del tipo que comprende un soporte base adaptado para ser montado en el extremo de una pértiga tubular que define un eje longitudinal; un miembro actuador montado en dicha pértiga tubular para un movimiento de accionamiento respecto a dicho eje longitudinal y conectado a unos medios de motorización adaptados para impartir dicho movimiento de accionamiento a dicho miembro actuador; al menos un peine montado en dicho soporte base para un primer movimiento oscilatorio respecto a al menos un primer eje; y un mecanismo de transmisión de movimiento en conexión con el miembro actuador y con dicho peine y adaptado para convertir dicho movimiento de accionamiento del miembro actuador en dicho primer movimiento oscilatorio del peine. El dispositivo de Ia presente invención está caracterizado porque el primer eje está montado en dicho soporte base permitiendo un segundo movimiento oscilatorio respecto a un segundo eje, y dicho mecanismo de transmisión de movimiento está adaptado además para convertir el movimiento de accionamiento del miembro actuador en dicho segundo movimiento oscilatorio del primer eje respecto al segundo eje, con Io que el peine está dotado de un movimiento oscilatorio combinado, contemporáneo, respecto a los primer y segundo ejes.DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a comb whipping device for harvesting small fruits, applicable to olives, almonds, coffee, pistachios, among others, of the type comprising a base support adapted to be mounted at the end of a tubular pole which defines a longitudinal axis; an actuator member mounted on said tubular pole for an actuation movement with respect to said longitudinal axis and connected to motorization means adapted to impart said actuation movement to said actuator member; at least one comb mounted on said base support for a first oscillatory movement with respect to at least a first axis; and a movement transmission mechanism in connection with the actuator member and with said comb and adapted to convert said actuation movement of the actuator member into said first oscillatory movement of the comb. The device of the present invention is characterized in that the first axis is mounted on said base support allowing a second oscillatory movement with respect to a second axis, and said movement transmission mechanism is further adapted to convert the driving movement of the actuator member into said second oscillatory movement of the first axis with respect to the second axis, so that the comb is provided with a combined, contemporary oscillatory movement with respect to the first and second axes.
En un ejemplo de realización de Ia presente invención, el movimiento de accionamiento del miembro actuador es un movimiento lineal de vaivén en Ia dirección del eje longitudinal, el primer movimiento oscilatorio del peine es un movimiento giratorio oscilante alrededor de dicho primer eje, y el segundo movimiento oscilatorio del peine es un movimiento giratorio oscilante alrededor de dicho segundo eje, donde el primer eje es transversal tanto al segundo eje como al eje longitudinal y el segundo eje es transversal al eje longitudinal. Aunque no es imprescindible, el segundo eje es perpendicular al eje longitudinal y está montado en una posición fija respecto al soporte base, mientras que el primer eje es perpendicular al segundo eje y está montado para oscilar giratoriamente en un soporte auxiliar el cual a su vez está montado para oscilar giratoriamente alrededor del segundo eje. El peine está unido fijamente al primer eje y tiene una pluralidad de púas o apéndices dediformes, dispuestas en una dirección transversal al primer eje. Ventajosamente, el dispositivo de acuerdo con presente invención comprende un segundo peine configurado y montado en dicho soporte base de una manera análoga a dicho primer peine para un movimiento giratorio oscilante combinado respecto a unos respectivos primer y segundo ejes. Este movimiento oscilatorio combinado está impulsado por el mismo movimiento de accionamiento de miembro actuador a través del mecanismo de transmisión de movimiento, el cual está también en conexión con el segundo peine.In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the actuation movement of the actuator member is a linear reciprocating movement in the direction of the longitudinal axis, the first oscillatory movement of the comb is a rotary oscillating movement around said first axis, and the second oscillatory movement of the comb is an oscillating rotating movement around said second axis, where the first axis is transverse to both the second axis and the longitudinal axis and the second axis is transverse to the longitudinal axis. Although not essential, the second axis is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and is mounted in a fixed position with respect to the base support, while the first axis is perpendicular to the second axis and is mounted to oscillate rotatably on an auxiliary support which in turn is mounted to swing rotatably around the second axis. The comb is fixedly attached to the first axis and has a plurality of spikes or dediform appendages, arranged in a direction transverse to the first axis. Advantageously, the device according to the present invention comprises a second comb configured and mounted on said base support in a manner analogous to said first comb for a combined oscillating rotating movement with respect to respective first and second axes. This combined oscillatory movement is driven by the same actuator member drive movement through the movement transmission mechanism, which is also in connection with the second comb.
Dado que el movimiento de accionamiento del miembro actuador es un movimiento lineal de vaivén en Ia dirección del eje longitudinal de Ia pértiga tubular, el dispositivo de Ia presente invención es apto para ser acoplado a un vareador mecánico portátil, por ejemplo del tipo descrito en los documentos de solicitud de patente WO 1999/001022 y WO 1999/007203, substituyendo el gancho extremo de Ia pértiga por el dispositivo de Ia invención y con Ia ayuda de una configuración de acoplamiento apropiada para conectar el soporte base del dispositivo de Ia invención al cuerpo del vareador mecánico y el miembro actuador del dispositivo de Ia invención al mecanismo generador de vibración del vareador mecánico. Sin embargo, a un experto en Ia técnica se Ie ocurrirá fácilmente Ia manera de adaptar el dispositivo de Ia presente invención a unos medios de motorización que proporcionen al miembro actuador un movimiento rotativo alrededor del eje longitudinal de Ia pértiga tubular. En tal caso, el mecanismo de transmisión de movimiento estará adaptado para convertir el movimiento giratorio del miembro actuador en el movimiento oscilatorio combinado respecto a los primer y segundo ejes del peine o peines.Since the actuation movement of the actuator member is a linear reciprocating movement in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the tubular pole, the device of the present invention is suitable for being coupled to a portable mechanical vareador, for example of the type described in the WO 1999/001022 and WO 1999/007203 patent application documents, replacing the end hook of the pole with the device of the invention and with the aid of an appropriate coupling configuration to connect the base support of the device of the invention to the body from the mechanical vareador and the actuating member of the device of the invention to the vibration generating mechanism of the mechanical vareador. However, it will be easy for a person skilled in the art to adapt the device of the present invention to motorization means that provide the actuator member with a rotational movement around the longitudinal axis of the tubular pole. In such a case, the movement transmission mechanism will be adapted to convert the rotary movement of the actuator member into the combined oscillatory movement with respect to the first and second axes of the comb or combs.

El mencionado soporte base 10 está unido al extremo de una pértiga 11 que define un eje longitudinal 3. En las figuras se muestra el soporte base 10 formando parte integral de una pértiga 11 , aunque también podría estar formado por una pieza adaptada para ser instalada en el extremo de Ia pértiga 11. Preferiblemente, Ia pértiga 11 es tubular y en su interior está montado un miembro actuador 12 conectado a unos medios de motorización adaptados para impartir un movimiento de accionamiento a dicho miembro actuador 12. En el ejemplo de realización mostrado en las figuras, el movimiento de accionamiento del miembro actuador 12 es un movimiento lineal de vaivén en Ia dirección del eje longitudinal 3. Unos medios de motorización adecuados para el dispositivo pueden ser proporcionados por un vareador mecánico portátil de un tipo conocido, y no forman parte de Ia presente invención. Cada peine 13a, 13b está montado en dicho soporte base 10 de manera que puede efectuar un movimiento de giro oscilante combinado respecto a unos correspondientes primer eje 1a, 1b y segundo eje 2a, 2b. Un mecanismo de transmisión de movimiento 14 está en conexión con el miembro actuador 12 y con cada uno de dichos peines 13a, 13b para convertir el mencionado movimiento lineal de vaivén de accionamiento procedente del miembro actuador 12 en dicho movimiento oscilatorio combinado de los peines 13a, 13b. En el ejemplo de realización mostrado, las púas 22a, 22b son paralelas entre sí y, cuando los peines están en una posición neutra, las púas se extienden en una dirección substancialmente paralela al eje longitudinal 3. Sin embargo, son posibles otras disposiciones para las púas.Detailed description of an exemplary embodiment Referring to Fig. 1, the comb whipping device of the present invention comprises, according to an embodiment, a base support 10 on which a pair of combs 13a, 13b are mounted , each of which is formed by a crossbar 21a, 21b to which a plurality of semi-rigid barbs or deifiform elements 22a, 22b are fixed, obtained for example by injection of a progressively decreasing section and of an appropriate length. to be inserted into the foliage of the fruit trees to be collected, and separated distances according to the characteristics of the tree and the fruit to be collected. Said base support 10 is connected to the end of a pole 11 defining a longitudinal axis 3. In the figures the base support 10 is shown forming an integral part of a pole 11, although it could also be formed by a piece adapted to be installed in the end of the pole 11. Preferably, the pole 11 is tubular and an actuator member 12 connected to motorized means adapted to impart a drive movement to said actuator member 12 is mounted. In the embodiment shown in the figures, the driving movement of the actuator member 12 is a linear reciprocating movement in the direction of the longitudinal axis 3. Suitable motorization means for the device can be provided by a portable mechanical vareador of a known type, and are not part of the present invention. Each comb 13a, 13b is mounted on said base support 10 so that it can perform a combined swinging movement relative to corresponding first axis 1a, 1b and second axis 2a, 2b. A movement transmission mechanism 14 is in connection with the actuator member 12 and with each of said combs 13a, 13b for converting said linear movement of reciprocating drive from actuator member 12 into said combined oscillatory movement of combs 13a, 13b. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the spikes 22a, 22b are parallel to each other and, when the combs are in a neutral position, the spikes extend in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis 3. However, other arrangements are possible for barbed
Las características de instalación de los dos peines 13a, 13b, así como las respectivas partes del mecanismo de transmisión de movimiento 14, son idénticas y/o simétricas, por Io que para una mayor claridad Ia siguiente descripción detallada se centrará inicialmente en las características de instalación y accionamiento de uno de los peines 13a y luego se podrá generalizar fácilmente al otro peine 13b. Los elementos equivalentes relacionados con los peines 13a, 13b están designados con las mismas referencias numéricas, pero con Ia letra añadido "a" cuando hacen referencia al primer peine 13a y "b" cuando hacen referencia al segundo peine 13b. Además, hay que tener en cuenta que Ia presente invención pretende cubrir tanto un dispositivo con un único peine 13a como un dispositivo con dos peines 13a, 13b (como el ejemplificado en las figuras), e incluso un dispositivo con más de dos peines siempre que responda a las características reivindicadas.The installation characteristics of the two combs 13a, 13b, as well as the respective parts of the movement transmission mechanism 14, are identical and / or symmetrical, so that for greater clarity the following detailed description will initially focus on the characteristics of installation and operation of one of the combs 13a and then the other comb 13b can easily be generalized. The equivalent elements related to combs 13a, 13b are designated with the same numerical references, but with the letter added "a" when they refer to the first comb 13a and "b" when they refer to the second comb 13b. In addition, it should be taken into account that the present invention aims to cover both a device with a single comb 13a and a device with two combs 13a, 13b (as exemplified in the figures), and even a device with more than two combs provided that respond to the claimed characteristics.
Respecto al primer peine 13a, el soporte base 10 comprende un brazo de soporte 23a (mejor mostrado en Ia Fig. 3) que termina en un segundo buje portacojinetes 24a adaptado para soportar el mencionado segundo eje 2a en una posición fija respecto al soporte base 10 y perpendicular al eje transversal 3. El segundo eje 2a está materializado por un soporte auxiliar 15a (mejor mostrado en Ia Fig. 4) que define a su vez un primer buje portacojinetes 25a adaptado para soportar el primer eje 1a en una posición perpendicular al segundo eje 2a. Con ello, el primer eje 1a está montado para oscilar giratoriamente en dicho primer buje portacojinetes 25a del soporte auxiliar 15a el cual a su vez incorpora o se extiende en el segundo eje 2a montado para oscilar giratoriamente en el segundo buje portacojinetes 24a. El travesano 21a del primer peine 13a está unido fijamente a un extremo sobresaliente del primer eje 1a por medio de una abrazadera 26a. Preferiblemente, entre el travesano 21 y Ia abrazadera 26a está dispuesta una unión regulable 27a (ver Fig. 5) que permite regular Ia inclinación de las púas 22a del peine 13a.With respect to the first comb 13a, the base support 10 comprises a support arm 23a (better shown in Fig. 3) that ends in a second bearing bearing bushing 24a adapted to support said second axis 2a in a fixed position with respect to the base support 10 and perpendicular to the transverse axis 3. The second axis 2a is materialized by an auxiliary support 15a (better shown in Fig. 4) which in turn defines a first bearing bearing bushing 25a adapted to support the first axis 1a in a position perpendicular to the second 2nd axis With this, the first shaft 1a is mounted to rotatably rotate in said first bearing carrier bushing 25a of the auxiliary support 15a which in turn incorporates or extends into the second shaft 2a mounted to rotatably rotate in the second bearing carrier bushing 24a. The cross member 21a of the first comb 13a is fixedly connected to an protruding end of the first axis 1a by means of a clamp 26a. Preferably, between the traverse 21 and Ia clamp 26a is arranged an adjustable joint 27a (see Fig. 5) that allows to regulate the inclination of the spikes 22a of the comb 13a.
El miembro actuador 12 incorpora un primer brazo 18a (mejor mostrado en Ia Fig. 5) unido fijamente al mismo en una posición perpendicular al eje longitudinal 3 y un extremo sobresaliente del primer eje 1a, opuesto a Ia mencionada abrazadera 26a, lleva unido fijamente un segundo brazo 20a (mejor mostrado en Ia Fig. 4) perpendicular al primer eje 1a. El mecanismo de transmisión de movimiento 14 comprende una biela 16a que tiene un primer extremo conectado por medio de un primer acoplamiento a rótula 17a a dicho primer brazo 18a y un segundo extremo conectado por medio de un segundo acoplamiento a rótula 19a a dicho segundo brazo 20a. El segundo acoplamiento a rótula 19a está conectado a un punto del segundo brazo 20a alejado del primer eje 1a, de manera que el empuje o Ia tracción ejercida por Ia biela 16a produce un par respecto al primer eje 1a que ocasiona un primer movimiento de giro oscilante del peine 13a alrededor del primer eje 1a. Además, dado que el segundo brazo 20a está desplazado respecto al segundo eje 2a, el movimiento de Ia biela 16a produce un par respecto al segundo eje 2a que ocasiona un segundo movimiento de giro oscilante del primer eje 1a junto con el soporte auxiliar 15 alrededor del segundo eje 2a. Así, el movimiento lineal de vaivén del miembro actuador 12 es transmitido por Ia biela 16a desde el primer brazo 18a unido al miembro actuador 12 al segundo brazo 20a unido al primer eje 1a ocasionando dicho primer movimiento de giro oscilante del primer eje 1a respecto al segundo eje 2a y al mismo tiempo el mencionado segundo movimiento de giro oscilante del segundo eje 2a respecto al soporte base 10. Dado que el peine 13a está unido fijamente al primer eje 1a, el movimiento lineal de vaivén del miembro actuador 12 confiere al peine 13a un movimiento oscilante combinado compuesto por el primer movimiento giratorio oscilante alrededor del segundo eje 2a y el segundo movimiento giratorio oscilante alrededor del primer eje 1a. Como consecuencia de este movimiento oscilante combinado, el extremo de cada púa 22a describe una trayectoria cíclica substancialmente cuadrangular favorable para aplicar a los pedúnculos de los frutos esfuerzos de torsión y tracción. El segundo peine describirá un movimiento simétrico, acercándose y separándose del primero. Para asegurar un correcto arrastre de ios movimientos de los primer y segundo ejes 1a, 2a por Ia biela 16a, el mecanismo de transmisión de movimiento 14 comprende un dispositivo de limitación de giro para limitar unos finales de carrera del movimiento giratorio oscilante del primer eje 1a respecto al soporte auxiliar 15a. De acuerdo con un ejemplo de realización no mostrado, el mencionado dispositivo de limitación de giro comprende uno o más topes estáticos unidos al soporte auxiliar 15a en cooperación con uno o más topes unidos al primer eje 1a. De acuerdo con otro ejemplo de realización no mostrado, el dispositivo de limitación de giro comprende al menos un elemento elástico dispuesto para proporcionar una resistencia al giro creciente desde una posición media hacia dichos finales de carrera del movimiento giratorio oscilante del primer eje 1a.The actuator member 12 incorporates a first arm 18a (better shown in Fig. 5) fixedly attached thereto in a position perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 3 and an protruding end of the first axis 1a, opposite the mentioned clamp 26a, has a fixed attachment second arm 20a (better shown in Fig. 4) perpendicular to the first axis 1a. The movement transmission mechanism 14 comprises a connecting rod 16a having a first end connected by means of a first spherical coupling 17a to said first arm 18a and a second end connected by means of a second spherical coupling 19a to said second arm 20a . The second ball joint 19a is connected to a point of the second arm 20a away from the first axis 1a, so that the thrust or traction exerted by the rod 16a produces a torque with respect to the first axis 1a which causes a first oscillating swing movement of the comb 13a around the first axis 1a. In addition, since the second arm 20a is offset with respect to the second axis 2a, the movement of the connecting rod 16a produces a pair with respect to the second axis 2a that causes a second oscillating rotation movement of the first axis 1a together with the auxiliary support 15 around the 2nd axis 2nd. Thus, the reciprocating linear movement of the actuator member 12 is transmitted by the connecting rod 16a from the first arm 18a attached to the actuator member 12 to the second arm 20a attached to the first axis 1a causing said first oscillating rotation movement of the first axis 1a with respect to the second axis 2a and at the same time the said second oscillating rotation movement of the second axis 2a with respect to the base support 10. Since the comb 13a is fixedly connected to the first axis 1a, the reciprocating linear movement of the actuator member 12 gives the comb 13a a combined oscillating movement composed of the first oscillating rotating movement around the second axis 2a and the second oscillating rotating movement around the first axis 1a. As a consequence of this combined oscillating movement, the end of each spike 22a describes a substantially quadrangular cyclic trajectory favorable to apply to the peduncles of the fruits torsional and tensile stresses. The second comb will describe a symmetrical movement, approaching and separating from the first. In order to ensure a correct drag of the movements of the first and second axes 1a, 2a by the connecting rod 16a, the movement transmission mechanism 14 comprises a rotation limiting device to limit the limit switches of the oscillating rotary movement of the first axis 1a with respect to the auxiliary support 15a. According to an exemplary embodiment not shown, said rotation limitation device comprises one or more static stops attached to the auxiliary support 15a in cooperation with one or more stops attached to the first axis 1a. According to another exemplary embodiment not shown, the rotation limitation device comprises at least one elastic element arranged to provide increased resistance to rotation from a middle position towards said limit switches of the oscillating rotating movement of the first axis 1a.
Tal como se ha indicado más arriba, el segundo peine 13b está configurado y montado en dicho soporte base 10 de una manera análoga a dicho primer peine 13a para un movimiento giratorio oscilante combinado respecto a unos respectivos primer y segundo ejes 1b, 2b impulsado por el movimiento de accionamiento de miembro actuador 12 a través del mecanismo de transmisión de movimiento 14.As indicated above, the second comb 13b is configured and mounted on said base support 10 in a manner analogous to said first comb 13a for a combined oscillating rotational movement with respect to respective first and second axes 1b, 2b driven by the actuation movement of actuator member 12 through movement transmission mechanism 14.
