Abstract

The conveyor consists of two identical parallel chains (1), fixed relative to each other by a series of combs, and driven on toothed wheels (3) by a hydraulic motor (4). The teeth of the combs are designed to pass between the bars of a grill (5) in the direction of the flow of fruit.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de convoyage sur une machineThe present invention relates to a conveyor device on a machine

à ramasser les fruits tombés au sol, en vue d'une transformation alimentaire, tels que pommes, poires, oranges, citrons, pamplemousses, destiné à permettre aux dits fruits d'être stockés dans une trémie. Parmi les dispositifs de convoyage connus, le dispositif couramment employé consiste à transporter les fruits sur un tapis en caoutchouc sans fin, pourvu transversalement de plusieurs pièces métalliques en forme d'équerre dites  picking up fallen fruit for food processing, such as apples, pears, oranges, lemons, grapefruits, intended to allow said fruits to be stored in a hopper. Among the known conveying devices, the device commonly used consists in transporting the fruit on an endless rubber mat, provided transversely with several metallic pieces in the form of a square.

Toutefois, ce dispositif ne permet pas de déverser directement les fruits dans une trémie. De plus, la surface pleine du tapis ne permet pas d'éliminer les impuretés persistantes. Un autre dispositif consiste à transporter les fruits sur un tapis dit " tapis mécanique ", qui comporte dans sa largeur deux bandes en caoutchouc reliées transversalement par des barreaux ronds en acier sur lesquels sont fixés  However, this device does not allow the fruit to be poured directly into a hopper. In addition, the solid surface of the carpet does not eliminate persistent impurities. Another device consists in transporting the fruit on a so-called "mechanical carpet", which has in its width two rubber bands connected transversely by round steel bars on which are fixed.

Toutefois, l'encombrement d'un tel dispositif est  However, the size of such a device is

Toutefois, bien que le balai d'éjection de ce dispositif  However, although the ejector brush of this device

possède des pales en caoutchouc, les fruits sont meurtris.  has rubber blades, the fruit is bruised.

La présente invention vise à résoudre ces problèmes, en proposant un dispositif de convoyage sur une machine à ramasser les fruits tombés au sol, en vue d'une transformation alimentaire, tels que pommes, poires, oranges, citrons, pamplemousses, destiné à permettre, sans causer de meurtrissures aux dits fruits, dans un encombrement minimal et en éliminant les impuretés persistantes, de déverser  The present invention aims to solve these problems, by proposing a conveying device on a machine for picking up fallen fruit, for food processing, such as apples, pears, oranges, lemons, grapefruits, intended to allow without causing bruising to the said fruits, in a minimal space and by eliminating the persistent impurities, to pour

directement dans une trémie.directly into a hopper.

Le dispositif comporte, selon une première caractéristique, deux chaînes identiques, parallèles, solidarisées l'une à l'autre par plusieurs peignes et, entraînées sur des roues dentées par un moteur hydraulique, de sorte que les dents desdits peignes passent, dans le sens de la chute des fruits, entre les barreaux d'une grille pour  The device comprises, according to a first characteristic, two identical chains, parallel, secured to one another by several combs and, driven on toothed wheels by a hydraulic motor, so that the teeth of said combs pass in the direction of falling fruit, between the bars of a grid for

La grille est constituée de barreaux pliés, parallèles et distants entre eux d'une valeur dimensionnelle légèrement inférieure à celle des fruits, permettant ainsi d'éliminer les impuretés persistantes et,est reliée transversalement aux extrémités par deux barreaux. Proche du point de chute, un pliage réalisé sur la grille permet aux fruits, en roulant sur eux-mêmes de prendre de la hauteur par rapport à la trémie pour faciliter l'escamotage des peignes et la poussée  The grid consists of folded bars, parallel and distant from each other with a dimensional value slightly lower than that of the fruits, thus making it possible to remove persistent impurities and, is connected transversely to the ends by two bars. Close to the point of fall, a folding carried out on the grid allows the fruits, by rolling on themselves to gain height relative to the hopper to facilitate the retraction of the combs and the push
