Description

PORTABLE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, BICABLE TELEPHONE TYPE, FOR THE HARVEST OF FRUITS IN PLANTED ORGANS IN LANDS IN PENDI ENTE, SUCH AS CLOSES

TECHNICAL FIELD Two-way cable transport system, removable, mobile and relocatable on the ground, for the harvest of fruits in orchards planted on sloping land, such as hills and the like, which allows its easy transfer and installation between an orchard and another, facilitating the work of transporting the fruits in the orchards and providing security to the users. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Avocado and citrus growers require for their plantations on hillside, a mechanical transport system of harvested fruits, from the tree to some access road on the property. This system must be safe, reliable, productive and economical.

Currently the production of avocados and citrus is harvested by hand and loaded in individual canvas bags. When the bag is full - with about 20 to 25 kg., Of fruits - the worker ascends (or descends) along the hillside from his collection area to the nearest road, and empties it into a container parked there with that object the worker could descend to a lower elevation road, but he feels safer climbing the hill than lowering it.

This method of harvesting fruit trees on hillside is used in Chile and almost universally. It is a strenuous task, insecure and low productivity, and is avoided - very understandably - by agricultural workers. Various attempts and proposals to mechanize this task have been tested in some commercial fruit orchards in other countries but without success so far, except perhaps in Japan.

The industry in Chile today faces the challenge of improving its productivity and lowering its costs - those that have doubled in a decade - to solve the problems of profitability of fruit production, raised both by the acute shortage and high cost of the hand of work, as well as for the strengthening of the Chilean peso in relation to the main currencies of the world, such as the dollar and the euro, and also for the high cost of other essential inputs in fruit production, such as energy, fertilizers and pesticides . Another aspect that is reducing the profitability of national fruit production is the growing competition for international markets, with the accelerated development of fruit growing in countries such as Peru, Argentina and others.

The harvest cost represents between 15 and 20% of the total cost of production in orchards of persistent fruit species, such as avocado and citrus fruits, when they are planted on hillside. The mechanization of transporting the harvested fruits from the tree to the harvest containers would reduce this cost by approximately 40%. In general, the harvest of the orchards planted in slope is slow due to the difficulties offered by the land, this forces the harvesters to move incessantly with their load up or down, which is dangerous for the staff, and also causes an expense greater muscle energy, which results in lower productivity.

To solve these problems, a series of solutions have been proposed, as established by application CL200302097, in which a portable transport system is used to harvest fruits on hillsides, but comprising an elongated body consisting of a PVC pipe, Quick coupling, inside which multiple containers slide where the fruit is deposited by gravity, which are attached to each other inside the pipe by a cable.

This system has the obvious problem that forces a large number of containers to climb up the hill, in addition to the PVC pipe, it will break quickly due to the rubbing of the containers; if the weight of the container train is excessive; The PVC pipe could be broken in those places where it was not supported, as it does not have a retention system, the containers on steep slopes will drop at excessive speed and, due to the collision at the end of the pipe, part of the fruit will be damaged; finally, if a container gets stuck inside the pipe, the equipment would have to be disassembled to continue the operation.

Agromavida application CL201102899, defines a mechanized transport system adjusted to crops on slopes of various lengths and deformities of the land, with a cable car type system that has towers or piles supported or anchored to the ground, tractors, pulleys and load sheds , with as many towers as the distance requires, where the transmission is carried out by means of ropes or cables that unite the towers in an endless system; in them the containers of load of crop or capachos are fixed; said operating system can generate electrical energy when harvesting loads or other loads are mounted from a higher height in the boxes fixed to the integrated closed system, using the potential energy of the mass and its height differential. In one of the towers, means of production control and means of control of energy generation are defined.

The system is apparently transportable, since the pillars are defined only supported on the ground, subjects with tensioning means or winds.

This system requires a large amount of time to be installed, in addition to multiple and constant adjustments, it needs several intermediate support pillars in its path (slow install) to prevent the up and down lines from getting too close to the ground which would cause the containers to collide. Since the system works with a tractor cable that is both supportive, this means that the drive station must have a lot of power and the tension of the cable must be adjusted permanently, which generates excessive friction between pulleys and cable producing decrease of its useful life While the system is apparently transportable, the complexity required by its installation each time it needs to be relocated will mean a loss of production by stopping part of the crop. For this reason the system would force the harvesters to work, albeit at a certain height level, but up to a considerable horizontal distance from the transport system, thus reducing their productivity.

The patent ES0282727, defines a monocable conveyor for rough terrain that can be temporarily installed in any place where it is necessary to use a transport of the cable car type, for example in felling trees, comprising a cable drive station, a tractor cable, piles superimposed on the ground, a discharge station, load bearing hooks, and pulleys. Where the pulleys intended to hold the tractor cable, at least in the curves of its trajectory, are arranged substantially in the plane of these curves on the side of its concavity and are mounted floating on the end of non-extensible elements that are placed in longitudinal tension at the time of the cable routing and that they are freely articulated on supports located on the convex side of said curves, being arranged some elements for the hooking in the cable of the loads to be transported provided with a profile that cooperates with the throats of the pulleys and that, at the time of the passage through them, constitute at the same time an intermediate support of the cable. The proposed system could work in an avocado orchard where the trees had sufficient strength to accept the clamping of the steel cable, which does not happen since the roots of the avocado trees planted in Chile are generally shallow, nor in a vines orchard the vines have the required resistance, which means that the system must be installed only with fixed pillars, in both cases given as an example - avocado and vines - the system is cumbersome to install and suffers from the same defects of the previous patent They are equivalent.

The patent ES2469765, defines a load transporting device, for the transfer of a load between different heights, comprising a load vehicle, a winch and some parallel rails defining a linear path, such that each of the ends of the The rails are at significantly different heights, the rails adopting an inclination, the loading vehicle being constituted by a frame and a loading platform, the loading vehicle being movable along the rails by means of rolling means arranged in the frame, and the loading vehicle being moved along the rails that can be operated by the winch by means of traction means, the loading vehicle having leveling means linked to the frame and the platform and granting devices. of a horizontality to the loading platform regardless of the inclination of the rails.

This device works on two rails which are slow and difficult to install and also need a good preparation of the support bases to prevent them from being uneven between them, which could cause the device to derail. The system, equivalent to a funicular, is not portable, so if it were used to harvest sloping fruits, many of them would be needed to serve the garden and the cost would be excessive.

The FR2470742 patent defines a transport system that is provided with an endless conductor cable, mounted on pulleys on towers or piles, so that transport devices are kept suspended. The transport devices are formed by hubs that are provided with a pivotable carrying handle and can be attached to carriers that are attached at specific distances in the cable that is driven in circulation. In at least one support, a fixed inclination device is provided by means of which the containers pivot when moving in the emptying position. The pillars are mounted in fixed cups on the ground.

This system similar in operation to the systems of the application CL201102899 and patent ES0282727 by the fact that the steel cable is tractor and carrier or transporter at the same time, requires that the drive station be very powerful and also that it be precise repeatedly adjusting the cable tension, the fact that it carries several buckets at equal distances, instead of a single car with several shells, can lead to error on the part of the operator and place a full bucket at the disposal of the harvester, which will force to move the cable until it reaches an empty one. The system has the advantage that the pillars are mounted in fixed cups on the ground, which allows its rapid installation, however this fact makes the system not versatile because it forces to follow routes or fixed sections of harvest, which year year may vary, in addition the initial investment to install the cups is high.

US4473011, defines a cable car for the transport of materials such as loose bulk products or individual cars to transport the material, each vehicle is pivotally supported between two longitudinal beams for tilting movement around a substantially horizontal transverse axis that is above the center of gravity of the car, the car being thus in free suspension and always ready to assume a substantially horizontal position, the cable car also has at least two ropes or laterally spaced tracks, raceway rope and traction cables parallel The cable car in question is not portable, it is also complex to install, and many of them would be required to harvest a garden productively.

In the web publication of Clemens GmbH & Co, a monorail car is defined for the transport of people and materials in hard to reach places. Indicating that with the monkey Rriel saves a lot of time when transporting people. The transport of material in a vineyard is done just like the use of the road during the harvest, to transport the grapes to the valley. The advantage of the monorail is the versatility of the layout. They are pending pending up to 100% without problems. The curves with a radius of 4 meters, both horizontal and vertical or combined, allow a perfect adaptation to the terrain. The protruding rocks or high walls can be saved with the corresponding pylons, just as you can pass over roads or terrain cuts. The monorail can be loaded and unloaded at any point along the path. The apparatus comprises a track mounted on towers or fixed pillars. The track consists essentially of a rail - a hot dipped galvanized square tube with welded rack on the bottom side - and of the brackets, made of one inch galvanized tubes. In addition, the monorail prevents soil erosion, unlike conventional soil vehicles.

The monorail tractor is equipped with two independent brake systems, which guarantee optimum safety. Additionally, under the tractor seat there is an over-speed safety brake. The wagon is made of pallets with overlapping parts suitable for the combined transport of people and material, with a load capacity of 250 kg. In this case the car travels on a rail that is mounted on fixed pillars, that is, it is not portable. Like US4473011, many of them would be required to harvest a garden productively.

The differences and advantages of the present transport system with respect to the prior art known are:

• A lower investment cost is ensured: the unit cost is lower, and fewer units are required to attend a plantation. This, then, is a portable, flexible and relocatable device in any area of the plantation, following the harvesting operation, as it moves along the surface of the garden. Comparatively, a monorail is a fixed or semi-fixed infrastructure, little flexible, difficult and expensive relocation.

• Lower maintenance cost, due to the simplicity of the design, fewer components, less friction, less exposure to aggressive weather conditions (can be removed in winter) · Easier maintenance and better control, as it can be done in the workshop, and not only on the ground.

• Greater operational safety, as the cargo car always moves under the direct and visual control of the operator.

• The greater ease of operation and maintenance implies that it can be used by personnel with minimal training.

• Less energy use, by efficiently using the force of gravity to lower the car down the hill.

Analyzing the known patents and publications of the prior art, it is determined that none is equal or delivers the same benefits, in some cases there is a steel cable that It acts as a tractor and transporter or carrier, with the difficulties that this means, otherwise there is a movement on two rails or a monorail difficult, slow and expensive to install. None of the models examined offers the versatility, portability, adaptability and low cost of the system of transport and harvest of fruits in orchards planted in slope by means of the use of a portable cable car type system.

The proposed solution is a portable system for transporting fruits in orchards planted on slopes that are essentially disarmable, mobile and relocatable on the ground, based on the principle of "timber tower" ("cable logging" or "cable yarding" ), used in forestry farms, with the conceptual modifications and technological adaptations that are required in this field of use.

All the equipment is removable and portable, and can be relocated and put into operation in different areas of the plantation easily by 2 men in approximately half a day, depending on the progress of the crop you need it. This will only require common hand tools and a very basic practical training.

at least one steel bearing cable installed on clamping pillars separated from each other and at a certain height above the ground;

at least two support or support pillars of the supporting cable, pivotally mounted on bases anchored or superimposed on the ground and each of them fixedly provided with a rolling boggie for transport;

each support pillar is fixed by means of winds or ground anchor struts anchored by means of stakes or attached to a ground foundation;

a driving station comprising one of the at least two support pillars;

a tensioning station comprising one of the at least two support pillars;

at least one tensioning means of the support cable in the tension station mounted on the pillar to tension the support cable at the time of installation in the pillars;

at least one driving system in the driving station mounted on the pillar to mobilize at least one conveyor car along the carrier cable, which comprises at least one shooting hump or winch that pulls at least one connected cable or firing pin to the transport carriage, and in which the shooting huinche is energized from an electric, pneumatic, hydraulic or other power source;

the at least one conveyor car, with one or more capachos or baskets that hang from it to contain the fruits or with hangers for said capachos, with one or more grooved wheels that roll on the supporting cable and with a means of blocking the carriage; Y with the pull cable between the drive and tensioning stations and the transport carriage, to motorize the transport carriage on the carrying cable.

The stations are located, one above and the other below the hill, at an adjustable distance of 30 to 50 m., Including in standard configuration - and up to 200 m., In special cases - in the sector of the hill that is being harvested. .

Between the driving station and the tensioning station, one or more intermediate stations are defined alternately, which also have a pillar anchored pivotally in a base.

Each station, whether motive, tensioning or intermediate, has a hollow or solid metal pillar, built on the basis of one or more open or closed metal profiles, which is preferably mounted by means of a label on a base that has a shape of plate with a housing corresponding to the label, said base can be anchored by means of stakes in the soil of the cultivation area or in a concrete foundation. Said pillar is also positioned vertically by means of winds or tensors, which are anchored to the ground by means of stakes, the ground anchor winds comprise a cable or a profile or metal bar. In each pillar of either the tensioning station, driving station or intermediate station, the "boggie" is positioned near its lower end anchored to the ground, said "boggie" comprises a pair of wheels mounted on integral and integral forks with each pillar or alternatively separable from the body of the pillar. Preferably, the shot or winch huinche is fixedly mounted, or bolted to a holder of variable position on the drive station pillar, for which a series of perforations positioned longitudinally in the pillar, which house the holders, are defined. in which the huinche or winch essentially comprises a drive or motor component, a rotating drum that drives the pull cable by winding it in its mantle, a brake that blocks the rotation of the drum when it is not energized and one or more command and control elements , for example, keypads, and in which the energy required to motorize the huinche is preferably provided by a mobile generator set located near the driving pillar or by some other means of electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, internal combustion or other energy.

The rotating drum contains the pull wire and can rotate in either of two opposite directions, and in doing so it rolls and pulls the pull wire, acting as a winding element of the cable and storage of a substantial length thereof, or unwinds it. The rotating drum preferably acts as a winch, for which it takes a section of the pull cable and pulls it closer to wind a few turns (between one and eight) over the mantle and returning it in an opposite direction that moves it away from the drum, thus imparting to the cable of pull the traction required to mobilize the transport carriage. The cable or piola of shot is constructed of an artificial or natural textile fiber, or of steel, or of a combination of the previous ones.

The huinche is protected externally by a cage or by a drawer-like cover that prevents or hinders access to it from foreign or undesirable bodies or elements, thus improving the occupational and operational safety of the huinche. The carrier cable is mounted between the driving station and the tensioning station, with the intermediate station serving as a strut, where in the driving station or in the tensioning station it is fixedly installed on a support arm mounted on the top of the pillar from the driving station or directly on the pillar. Its other end is free, in which case the clamping of the supporting cable at its free end takes place at an intermediate point of the cable when the total length of the cable is greater than the distance between the pillars. The tensioning means of the carrier cable is a hydraulic tensioning means or a mechanical tensioning means. A carrier cable container device is defined for the portion of the carrier cable that is not included between the pillars. The carrying device of the carrier cable is a cable reel drum that has wheels or skates or other means to facilitate its transfer. A huinche is also provided to attract the supporting cable to the pillar, for which a tip of the huinche pin is attached to the supporting cable in a positionable hitch device at any point of the supporting cable, and the huinche piola is wound until the supporting cable is as close to the pillar as required to proceed to hold the supporting cable to the pillar by means of a mechanical fastener. The support cable is attached to the pillar by means of a hook or pin located on the pillar, which is connected to the support cable at a point of this previously prepared as an eye with clamps, and with or without a cable guard. The fastening and securing of the supporting cable to the pillar can also be done by clamping the supporting cable with at least one variable opening jaw integral with the pillar. In the tensioning station, the supporting cable is mounted by passing a pulley mounted on the top of the pillar of the tensioning station and from there to a tensioning means of the supporting cable, all these elements can be mounted by means of holders in longitudinal perforations in The pillar of the tensioning station, so that once the pillars are mounted, it is possible to regulate the tension of the carrier cable, said tensioning means comprises a telescopic screw that allows the carrier cable to retract or extend. The tensioner of the supporting cable is positioned longitudinally to the pillar of the tensioning station, with one end mounted by means of a label on an anchor in the pillar and its other end mounted by means of a shackle or eye on the support cable. Cable tensioning is carried out by means of a lever transverse to the telescopic screw, which transmits the required torque to the telescopic screw. The tensioning cable tensioning means, which is mounted on the supporting cable, comprises a set of directional pulleys of the pulling cable mounted and rotating in a frame or detachable structure that hangs from the supporting cable, a bucket or container of counterweight material preferably earth or stones or a mixture thereof, or a solid counterweight, and in which the bucket or solid counterweight hangs freely from at least one pulley through which the pull wire passes, being able to move vertically and freely to provide the pull wire the tension force it requires. The tension force required by the pull cable is alternatively provided by one or more springs, or by one or more pneumatic or hydraulic pressure cylinders, acting on one or more steering pulleys of the pull cable.

In the intermediate station, the supporting cable is mounted on a fixed telescopic support at the top of the intermediate pillar, said telescopic support allows adjusting the transverse separation of the supporting cable from the intermediate pillar. In said telescopic support, a cable support arm is defined, whereby the supporting cable is supported by guide means comprising at least one metal plate or body that has a surface of flexible material where the cable sits or , alternatively, it has rotating rollers with a mantle of flexible material where the cable sits. The support arm is installed by means of an adjustment plate, which is pivotally mounted on the intermediate pillar, so that by means of tensioning screws (screws or similar), the angle of the support arm is adjusted to be perfectly positioned in a plane transverse to the vertical plane that defines the supporting cable.

Between the driving station, transport carriage and tensioning station, the pull cable is defined, which allows the transport carriage to be operated along the carrier cable. Said pulling cable is mounted between pulleys on the pillars of the tensioning station and the driving station, at least one steering pulley of the pulling cable in the driving station and a pulley forwarding in the tensioning station, in an endless circuit of the cable that goes from the transport car to the driving station through the shooting hump, returning to the tensioning station, passing through the pulley and then to the transport car. With the definition of a pulling cable tensioning means, which is mounted on the supporting cable and comprises steering pulleys and counterweights in order to always keep the pull cable tensioned.

In a first alternative, the transport carriage is made up of a rectangular profile master beam, on whose rear face and at both ends, a bending arm is installed in which at its other end grooved wheels are defined in a vertical and longitudinal plane to the carrier cable, so the car rolls on the carrier cable. With the grooved wheels, resting and rolling on the supporting cable at its bottom perimeter, one at each end of the master beam. The mooring arm is installed by means of a mooring plate on the rear face of the master beam. At its other cantilever end, a shaft support is defined, in which the grooved wheel is rotatably installed. The master beam is an open or tubular metal profile of rectangular, square, or circular, or elliptical, or full section, which has holes at its ends to place bolts, or pins, or fasteners to connect the firing pin with the car. The angled arm is in solidarity with the master beam through welding or training or riveting, being an extension of the master beam.

One or more means of supporting the fruit transport shells are installed under the master beam by means of a hanger. The hanger is a curved U-shaped element, pivoting on the master beam and with clamping means in the form of a roof frame in which the covers are mounted. The portacapacho frame is manufactured by means of profiles, under which the covers are removably mounted, but always leaving its upper end open for loading the fruits. The car descends gravitationally or motorized at a speed controlled by the huinche operator at the driving station. During the descent, the car is stopped momentarily every time a harvester has to deposit in it the fruits that it is reaping. This eliminates the displacements and times of ascent and / or descent with load of the worker by the hill.

The baskets or baskets are unloaded to a container or bin of reception, and returned empty to the car for their return up the hill, using the driving huinche, in order to begin a new transport cycle.

The described operation is completely reversible if it is desired to do so, that is, the loading of fruit in the car can be carried out during its ascent, and the unloading to a reception bin can be carried out at the top of the hill that is being harvested.

At one end of the master beam a blocking assembly is defined that acts on one of the grooved wheels; wherein the blocking assembly comprises a pivoting pivoting arm around a fixed point of the transport carriage and connected to the firing pin through a cable or retaining chain; with at least one locking element that has a grooved sacrificial plate to fit into the supporting cable by rotating the pivoting arm at a certain angle; at least one counterweight conveniently located on the pivoting arm to force it to rotate and fall violently thus fitting the slotted sacrificial plate on the supporting cable and causing the braking or blocking of the carriage, when the pivoting arm is no longer held by the cable or chain of retention, when the firing pin is released or broken by some accidental or deliberate act. The pivoting arm and the blocking assembly are connected by bolts, pins or rivets placed at a selectable point of a plurality of possible connection points, the pivoting arm and the blocking assembly being a single body. In another preferred alternative, the transport carriage is made so that it is foldable, in order to facilitate the unloading of the covers hanging from the car. For the above under the master beam, a folding support beam of the covers is defined, wherein the conveyor carriage also comprises a metal profile master beam; with at least one grooved wheel that fits and rolls on the cable; at least one angled arm that supports the wheel and its axle; a collapsible beam at one end of the master beam; a lift huinche with piola to activate the folding beam; a hook or lock to prevent the fall of the collapsible beam in the event of a failure of the huinche or the piola; at least one brake or blocking system to stop an eventual free run of the transport carriage along the carrier cable in case of failure of the pull cable; and at least one structure or arm carrier to contain or hold at least one shell where the load is contained, and that hangs attached to the folding beam.

The collapsible beam is an open or tubular profile of rectangular, or square, or circular or elliptical section, or full, attached to one end of the master beam through a hinged connection that allows it to pivot to lower or raise the hanging load of it, and that has a lock or hook to block the pivot.

For the realization of the rotation of the folding beam and its covers, a manual huinche is defined, mounted on a console at one end of the master beam, on the side of the pivot point of the folding beam, and at its other end it is installed a deflection pulley, so by means of the huinche cable and deflection pulley, with the fixed huinche cable at the free end of the folding beam, the folding beam and the shells are controlled or lowered.

The carrying arm is a hanger or metal structure where at least one load bearing cover is inserted that can hang freely to allow it to adopt a substantially vertical position.
