Abstract

The harvester which separates leaves from the gathered crop, has a horizontal drum (4) with resilient radial blades (7). These lift the crop from ground level as the machine advances and passes it through a separating chamber through which air is blown, the fruit being deposited onto a sideways travelling horizontal conveyor (17) in front of the drum, the leaves behind discharged behind it. A fan (32) blows air from the rear between sheets (15,34) over the drum towards a curved deflector plate (37), guiding it back towards the drum. The air is also guided by an auxiliary deflector (39) parallel to the main deflector, located nearer the outlet of the air channel (36) formed by the two sheets. Besides the main separating chamber is an auxiliary chamber with another fan, which slopes sideways to discharge onto a take-off conveyor adjacent to the cross conveyor.

Description

machine pour le ramassage des fruits
Le brevet principal concerne une machine pour le ramassage des fruits, qui est munie & lavant d'un rotor transversal de ramassage disposé & proximité du sol. Elle a pour objet une machine de ce genre dans laquelle le rotor est muni de pales ou lanières souples et qui comporte une bavette placée devant le rotor, à une faible distance du sol, et sur laquelle les pales passent en fléchissant, le rotor étant entraîné en rotation à une vitesse sub fisamment faible pour que les frutis ramassés par les pales soient simplement poussés le long de la bavette par ces pales.
fruit picking machine
The main patent relates to a machine for collecting fruit, which is provided with a transverse picking rotor arranged close to the ground. It relates to a machine of this kind in which the rotor is provided with flexible blades or strips and which comprises a flap placed in front of the rotor, a short distance from the ground, and over which the blades pass by bending, the rotor being driven rotating at a speed subfisisbly low so that the fruit picked up by the blades are simply pushed along the flap by these blades.

La présente addition a pour objet des perfectionnements apportés à cette machine de ramassage de fruits. The present addition relates to improvements made to this fruit picking machine.

Selon l'un de ces perfectionnements, la machine comporte une turbine propre a refouler de l'air sur un déflecteur dirigé vers la partie inférieure du rotor. Cet air sépare des fruits les feuilles qui sont reprises par le rotor et renvoyées vers l'arrière. According to one of these improvements, the machine comprises a clean turbine for discharging air on a deflector directed towards the lower part of the rotor. This air separates the leaves from the fruit, which are picked up by the rotor and returned backwards.

Il est de préférence prévu une cloison qui enveloppe partiellement le rotor et délimite un conduit guidant l'air de la turbine au déflecteur. Un déflecteur auxiliaire peut être prévu entre le bord libre de cette cloison et le déflecteur principal. A partition is preferably provided which partially envelops the rotor and delimits a duct guiding the air from the turbine to the deflector. An auxiliary deflector may be provided between the free edge of this partition and the main deflector.

Selon un autre perfectionnement, un deuxième transporteur ou un élévateur est prévu en bout du transporteur transversal, perpendiculairement & celui-ci, et la machine comporte une turbine propre & refouler de l'air au-dessus de l'extrémité du transporteur transversal, en direction du second transporteur ou de l'é- lévateur, Cet air assure le passage des fruits du premier transporteur au second ou à l'élévateur, sans que ce transfert soit géné par les branches ou le bois mort ramassés en meme temps que les fruits. According to another improvement, a second conveyor or an elevator is provided at the end of the transverse conveyor, perpendicular to the latter, and the machine comprises a clean turbine & to discharge air above the end of the transverse conveyor, direction of the second transporter or elevator, This air ensures the passage of the fruits from the first transporter to the second or to the elevator, without this transfer being generated by the branches or dead wood collected at the same time as the fruits .

Il est avantageusement prévu un rotor muni de pals souples ou de brosses et disposé au bout du transporteur transversal. Ce rotor évacue les branches et le bois mort et ramone dans le couran d'air provenant de la turbine les fruits qui auraient été retenus par les branches.  Advantageously, a rotor is provided with flexible blades or brushes and disposed at the end of the transverse conveyor. This rotor evacuates the branches and the dead wood and sweeps the fruit which would have been retained by the branches in the air stream coming from the turbine.

On a décrit ci-après, à titre d' d'exanple non limitatif, un mode de réalisation d'une machine pour le ramassage des fruits perfectionnée selon la présente addition avec référence au des- sin annexé dans lequel
La Figure 1 est une vue en plan de l'avant de la machine,
La Figure 2 en est une coupe suivant II-II de la Figure 1,
La Figure 3 en est une coupe suivant III III de la Figure 1.
We have described below, by way of non-limiting example, an embodiment of a machine for collecting fruit improved according to the present addition with reference to the accompanying drawing in which
Figure 1 is a plan view of the front of the machine,
Figure 2 is a section along II-II of Figure 1,
Figure 3 is a section along III III of Figure 1.

Au dessin, on retrouve le rotor de ramassage 4 qui est monté à rotation autour de l'axe 5, dans un carter 15 et est muni & BR< sa périph6rie des pales ou lanières souples 7, la bavette 8 en matière souple et sur laquelle frottent les pales 7, et le transporteur transversal 17 sur lequel tombent les fruits remontés par les pales 7 sur la bavette 8.  In the drawing, we find the pickup rotor 4 which is rotatably mounted around the axis 5, in a casing 15 and is provided with its flexible blades or strips 7, the flap 8 made of flexible material and on which rub the blades 7, and the transverse conveyor 17 on which fall the fruits raised by the blades 7 on the flap 8.

A la partie supérieure du carter est disposée une turbine de ventilation 32 dont l'oui de sortie est reliée & l'espace 33 se trouvant sous le carter. Cet espace est délimité à sa sa partie inférieure par une cloison 34 qui enveloppe partiellement le rotor 4, et est divisé par des cloisons 35 en conduits 36 approximati- voment longitudinaux. At the upper part of the casing is arranged a ventilation turbine 32, the outlet of which is connected to the space 33 located under the casing. This space is delimited at its lower part by a partition 34 which partially envelops the rotor 4, and is divided by partitions 35 into approximately longitudinal conduits 36.

L'ensemble des conduits 36 est terminé par un déflecteur 37 qui est muni d'un volet d'orientation réglable 38, se trouve sen- siblement au-dessus du tapis transporteur 17, et est dirigé vers la partie inférieure du rotor 4. La cloison 34 s'arrête avant le déflecteur 37; entre ce dernier et le bord de la cloison 34 est disposé un déf lecteur auxiliaire 39.  The set of conduits 36 is terminated by a deflector 37 which is provided with an adjustable orientation flap 38, is located substantially above the conveyor belt 17, and is directed towards the lower part of the rotor 4. The partition 34 stops before the deflector 37; between the latter and the edge of the partition 34, an auxiliary reader deflector 39 is disposed.

En fonctionnement, le flux d'air engendré par la turbine 32 traverse les canaux 36 et tombe sur le déflecteur 38 qui le dirige vers la zone où les fruits ramassés quittent les palettes 7.  In operation, the air flow generated by the turbine 32 passes through the channels 36 and falls on the deflector 38 which directs it towards the zone where the picked fruits leave the pallets 7.

Les fruits tombent sur le transporteur 17 alors que les feuilles en sont séparées par l'air et chassées vers le rotor sous la cloison 34; elles sont ainsi renvoyées vers l'arrière et retombent sur le sol. Le déflecteur orientable 39 permet de régler le débit d'air parvenant sur le déflecteur 37 et produit un courant d'air qui aide les feuilles & repartir vers l'arrière. The fruits fall on the conveyor 17 while the leaves are separated by air and driven towards the rotor under the partition 34; they are thus thrown backwards and fall back to the ground. The adjustable deflector 39 makes it possible to regulate the air flow arriving on the deflector 37 and produces a current of air which helps the sheets to go backwards.

L'élévateur 20 est ici placé directement à la sortie du transporteur 17. Le carter porte une deuxième turbine de ventilation 40 dont la sortie est reliée par un caisson 41 qui assure la mise en pression de l'air, à un canal 42 terminé par une buse 43
Celle-ci se trouve sensiblement au ras du bord avant du transporteur 17 et est dirigée vers l'élévateur 20. Un petit rotor 44 muni de pales en caoutchouc ou de brosses, est disposé en bout du transporteur 17.
The elevator 20 is here placed directly at the outlet of the conveyor 17. The casing carries a second ventilation turbine 40, the outlet of which is connected by a box 41 which ensures the pressurization of the air, to a channel 42 terminated by a nozzle 43
The latter is located substantially flush with the front edge of the conveyor 17 and is directed towards the elevator 20. A small rotor 44 provided with rubber blades or brushes is placed at the end of the conveyor 17.

Lorsque les fruits arrivent & l'extrémité du transporteur 17.  When the fruit arrives at the end of the conveyor 17.

l'air soufflé par la buse 43 les chasse sur l'évlévateur 20. Le rotor 44 évacue les branches et renvoie dans le courant d'air les fruits qui auraient été retenus par les branches.the air blown by the nozzle 43 drives them onto the elevator 20. The rotor 44 evacuates the branches and sends back into the air stream the fruits which would have been retained by the branches.

Il va de soi que la présente addition ne doit pas être consi dégrée comme limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté, mais en couvre, au contraire, toutes les variantes.  It goes without saying that the present addition should not be considered as limited to the embodiment described and shown, but on the contrary covers all variants.
