Description

DESCRIPTION

Exoskeleton for fruit picking

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention, as the title of the invention establishes, is an exoskeleton for fruit harvesting, which allows users to collect fruit elements in a more efficient way. It is an innovation that within current techniques provides advantages unknown until now.

TECHNIQUE SECTOR

The present invention belongs to the sector of equipment for cultivation and harvesting.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

As a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, although exoskeleton designs are known, the existence of any other that presents the same or similar structural and constitutive technical characteristics to those presented by the invention claimed herein is unknown.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is an exoskeleton for fruit harvesting that allows users to harvest plant elements in a more efficient way and with less fatigue. The exoskeleton for fruit picking comprises a trunk that is fixed to the user's back, which includes a fixation to the user's waist from which two lower extremities depart that are fixed to the user's legs and facilitate their walking movement. From the trunk comes an auxiliary support configured as a third rotating support to the ground, which makes it possible to balance the loads and prevent them from tipping over, and which consists of a wheel. A telescopic and adjustable arm starts from the upper part of the trunk that includes holding means and cutting means that allow cutting and holding the elements to be harvested.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complete the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, this specification is accompanied, as an integral part thereof, by some figures in which, for illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

Figure 1 is a perspective representation of the exoskeleton for fruit harvesting with a user and a plant element (6.1).

Figure 2 is a perspective representation of the exoskeleton for fruit harvesting holding two harvested elements (6.2).

Figure 3 is a perspective representation of the exoskeleton for fruit harvesting.

Figure 4 is a detailed perspective representation of the cutting means (5.1).

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the figures, a preferred, although not limiting, embodiment of the proposed invention is described below, which consists of an exoskeleton for fruit harvesting. As can be seen in the figures, the exoskeleton for fruit harvesting includes a trunk (1) configured to be fixed to the user's back, which in its lower part includes a fixation to the user's waist (2), of the which split two lower extremities (3) that include the thigh guide (3.1), the guide for the tibia - fibula area (3.3) and the foot guide (3.5) that are configured to fit into the lower extremities of a person and lean on the ground during their stance phase when walking. The thigh guide (3.1) and the tibia-fibula guide (3.3) are joined by a knee joint (3.2) at the user's knee that is configured to accommodate knee movement. of the user when walking, likewise the guide for the tibia - fibula area (3.3) and the guide for the foot (3.5) are joined by an ankle joint (3.4) at the height of the user's ankle that is configured to combine the movement of the user's ankle to the walk.

The trunk (1) includes at its base an auxiliary support (4) configured as a third rotating support to the ground, which allows balancing the loads and avoiding tipping, which includes a wheel (4.1)

The trunk (1) in the upper part comprises an articulated and extensible arm (5) which at its end comprises cutting means (5.1) configured to separate the harvested elements (6.2) from the plant element (6.1), as well as some Holding means (5.2) of the collected elements (6.2), configured to hold the collected elements (6.2) during cutting.

The trunk (1) includes a collapsible safety arch (7), configured to protect the user from the collected elements (6.2), likewise the user can hold the collected elements (6.2) by means of auxiliary fastening means (7.1) located in the folding safety arch (7).

The exoskeleton for fruit harvesting comprises control means (8), configured to control the movement of the arm (5), the cutting means (5.1) and the holding means (5.2).
