Secondary Picking Device for a Hops Picking Machine, and Hops Picking Machine Equipped Therewith

摘要

A secondary picking device for a hops picking machine comprises a cone picking device and a tine strip device which interact in such a way that the sections thereof facing each other are moved in a same direction while defining between them a picking range through which the vine parts are passed in order to pick hop cones. The picking range has a curved shape, and at least one combing cylinder is present which is arranged downstream from the picking range in the direction of movement of the vine parts. At least one combing cylinder interacts with the cone picking device and rotates opposite to the direction of movement of the associated section of the cone picking device in order to strip off vine parts.
