Autonomous harvesting machine for cutting, recovering and chopping up forest aggregates

摘要

The invention relates to a machine for harvesting and converting forest aggregates found on site or issuing from the cutting carried out by the machine arising from the flattening or clearing of the forest. It comprises a self-supporting assembly 1 coupled via a vertical spindle 10 promoting its handleability by the fact that it is "broken" into two well-separated parts enabling the tool 17 to "flutter" in a horizontal plane on either side of the spindle of the machine. The cutting tool 17, which acts by shearing and has a vertical spindle 24, may move in a vertical plane. The feeding of the chopper 12 is characterised in that the two planes constituted by the longitudinal members 16-18 may open and close like a jaw. Application to the harvesting of forest aggregates and, consequently, to the clearing and protection from fire of forest areas. Exploitation of biomass.
