Machine for knocking down fruits which can be collected by means of knocking down with a long hole

摘要

Machine which comprises two support frames 9 which include a plurality of parallel tubular vertical laths, in which rods 16 driven in a rotational movement back and forth with respect to the shaft which gives rise to the fall of the fruits it is desired to knock down are mounted. The movement of the rods is generated by a hydraulic motor 13. The knocked-down fruit are collected on two rolling mats which open out underneath the trees and the fruit is then transported via worms to hoppers of the type for grain. The support frames 9 are installed at the ends of two extensive bars 12, the attitude of which is controlled by means of two hydraulic cylinders 12 and 23, both in terms of the horizontal and in terms of the vertical. The assembly is mounted in the upper part of a metallic structure which can rise or fall through the action of hydraulic oil. The said metallic structure is equipped with a diesel motor which, in turn, actuates a hydraulic pump for supplying any hydraulic system. Transmission is hydrostatic and to the four wheels. The machine is intended to cause the knocking-down of olives, almonds and other fruits. IMAGE
