Description

Dispositivo recolector de frutos del suelo.Fruit harvesting device.

La presente invención se refiere a un dispositivo recolector de frutos del suelo.The present invention relates to a device Fruit picker of the soil.

Background of the invention

Actualmente son conocidos diversos tipos de máquinas para la recolección de frutos situados sobre el suelo, que permiten recoger dichos frutos, limpiarlos de restos de tierra, y almacenarlos. Sin embargo, a veces resulta difícil hacer pasar dichas máquinas por zonas estrechas o cercanas a los árboles, por lo que es habitual que queden algunos frutos sobre el suelo sin recoger. En estos casos, es necesario terminar de recoger los frutos restantes de manera manual.Various types of machines for collecting fruits located on the ground, which they allow you to collect these fruits, clean them from dirt, and store them However, sometimes it is difficult to pass said machines for narrow areas or near trees, so that it is common for some fruits to remain on the ground without collect. In these cases, it is necessary to finish collecting the fruits remaining manually.

En la práctica se ha comprobado que la recolección manual de frutos situados sobre el suelo resulta un trabajo arduo y lento ya que los operarios deben agacharse continuamente para recogerlos, lo que provoca en la mayoría de los casos graves dolencias de espalda, así como de piernas y rodillas.In practice it has been proven that the manual collection of fruits located on the ground is a arduous and slow work since the operators must duck continuously to pick them up, which causes in most of the severe cases of back ailments as well as of legs and knees.

Description of the invention

El objetivo del dispositivo recolector de frutos del suelo de la presente invención es solventar los inconvenientes que presenta la recolección manual de frutos del suelo, proporcionando un dispositivo recolector de uso manual muy sencillo y eficaz.The objective of the fruit collecting device of the soil of the present invention is to solve the drawbacks which presents the manual collection of fruits of the soil, providing a very simple manual collector device and effective.

El dispositivo recolector de frutos del suelo, objeto de la presente invención, se caracteriza por el hecho de que comprende un soporte tubular provisto en uno de sus extremos de medios elásticos para la recepción y retención de frutos situados sobre el suelo, siendo dicho soporte tubular hueco en su totalidad para el almacenamiento de los frutos retenidos, medios para la extracción de los frutos almacenados, y medios para asir manualmente dicho soporte tubular.The device for collecting fruits from the soil, object of the present invention, is characterized by the fact that it comprises a tubular support provided at one of its ends of elastic means for receiving and retaining situated fruits on the ground, said hollow tubular support being entirely for the storage of retained fruits, means for extraction of stored fruits, and means to grab manually said tubular support.

De este modo, el dispositivo de la invención permite recolectar frutos situados en el suelo de una manera rápida y sencilla, sin que los operarios sufran dolencias en la espalda, piernas y rodillas, ya que no es necesario que se agachen para recoger los frutos.Thus, the device of the invention allows you to collect fruits located on the ground quickly and simple, without the operators suffering back ailments, legs and knees, since they do not need to bend over to Collect the fruits.

Ventajosamente, los medios elásticos para la recepción y retención de los frutos que están acoplados en un extremo del soporte tubular, definen una zona perimetral con un orificio central de tamaño menor al de los frutos a recolectar, de modo que cuando un operario presiona el soporte tubular contra un fruto situado en el suelo, los medios elásticos se distienden permitiendo el paso del fruto hacia el interior del soporte tubular, retornando a continuación a su posición de reposo para retener así los frutos almacenados.Advantageously, the elastic means for reception and retention of fruits that are coupled in a end of the tubular support, define a perimeter zone with a central hole smaller than the fruits to be collected, of so that when an operator presses the tubular support against a fruit located on the ground, the elastic means are distended allowing the passage of the fruit into the tubular support, then returning to its resting position to retain well The stored fruits.

De este modo, es posible recoger frutos situados sobre hierba, tierra, arena, y piedras de tamaño inferior a los frutos, recogiéndolos limpios.In this way, it is possible to collect fruits located on grass, earth, sand, and stones smaller than fruits, picking them clean.

De acuerdo con una realización de la presente invención, los medios elásticos para la recepción y retención de los frutos comprenden dos gomas elásticas anulares colocadas sobre seis puntos de apoyo equidistantes solidarios de un extremo del soporte tubular, formando dichas gomas dos triángulos equiláteros desfasados 60° entre sí.In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the elastic means for the reception and retention of Fruits comprise two elastic elastic bands placed on six equidistant support points integral to one end of the support tubular, said gums forming two outdated equilateral triangles 60 ° each other.

Ventajosamente, el diámetro interior del soporte tubular está definido en función del tamaño del los frutos a recolectar. De este modo, pueden recolectarse diferentes clases de frutos.Advantageously, the inner diameter of the support tubular is defined based on the size of the fruits to gather. In this way, different kinds of fruits.

Preferentemente, los medios para la extracción de los frutos almacenados están constituidos por un tramo recto hueco dispuesto en el extremo opuesto del cuerpo tubular. En este caso, la extracción de los frutos almacenados se lleva a cabo invirtiendo el soporte tubular y vaciándolo sobre un recipiente adecuado.Preferably, the means for extracting stored fruits consist of a straight hollow section arranged at the opposite end of the tubular body. In this case, the Extraction of stored fruits is carried out by inverting the tubular support and emptying it into a suitable container.

Opcionalmente, los medios para la extracción de los frutos almacenados están constituidos por un tramo curvado hueco dispuesto en el extremo opuesto del cuerpo tubular.Optionally, the means for extracting stored fruits consist of a curved hollow section arranged at the opposite end of the tubular body.

En este caso, la extracción de los frutos se realiza automáticamente, ya que el dispositivo incluye medios para la fijación de un recipiente destinado a recoger los frutos que van saliendo del tramo curvado cuando el cuerpo tubular está completamente lleno.In this case, the extraction of the fruits is performed automatically, since the device includes means for fixing a container intended to collect the fruits that go leaving the curved section when the tubular body is completely full.

Preferiblemente, el dispositivo comprende medios para visualizar la altura de los frutos que van almacenándose dentro del cuerpo tubular.Preferably, the device comprises means to visualize the height of the fruits that are stored inside of the tubular body.
