Problems solved by technology

In fact, use that is not well controlled by the operator can lead to scratching or even breaking off branches of the tree at the germinable parts, thereby affecting the fruit yield of the following year
This risk is exacerbated by undesired vibrations caused by actuating the beating element if the beating element is not perfectly balanced

Embodiment Construction

[0031] With particular reference to these figures, an apparatus for harvesting olives and similar products according to the invention is generally indicated at 1 . The device comprises a preferably tubular support rod 2 at the top of which a shaker unit 3 is applied.

[0032] The support rod 2 is preferably of the telescopic type and is thus provided on the distal side with respect to the handle 200 with a suitable lever 4 for setting the length (see FIG. 1 ).

[0033] Inside an envelope 201 (adapted to define the handle 200 of the rod 2 ), for example made of plastic, electrical connection means 202 are housed to be able to supply the electrical energy for actuating said shaker unit 3 , for example by means of a generator of battery type . Said handle is provided with control means 203 of known type, adapted to control the supply or interruption of the power supplied by said supply means (see FIG. 2 ). The energy supply means may comprise, for example, a battery for motoriz...

Abstract

The apparatus for picking olives and similar products comprises a support rod (2) suitable to be grasped, a shaker unit (3) comprising a containment box (7) suitable to be mounted at the top of the support rod (2); at least one comb sector (5, 6) shaping a crossbar (9) provided with a plurality of teeth (10), carried mobile by the containment box (7), a motor member (204) to actuate the comb sector (5, 6) in a substantially tilting motion, a drive shaft (14) arranged substantially aligned to the longitudinal axis of the support rod (2) and suitable to be actuated in a rotary motion by the motor member (204). The drive shaft (14) is associated with at least one respective driven shaft (18, 19) shaping an inclined end portion (23). Support means (25) for the crossbar (9) of the comb sector (5, 6) are suitable to be engaged rotatably on the inclined portion (23) of the driven shaft (18, 19) by means of the interposition of rolling means (28). Control means (13) for the motion of the comb sector (5, 6) are associated with the support means (25), the support means (25) being suitable to cooperate reciprocally abutting with the control means (13) at respective coupling portions (30, 31) externally to the containment box (7), to transform the rotary motion actuated by the motor member (204) into the tilting motion of the comb sector (5, 6).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus for picking olives and similar small products. Background technique [0002] Picking devices are known for carrying out the picking of olives or other similar small products, these picking devices are commonly called knockers (knocker down), adapted to act on the branches of fruit trees, shaking these branches, thereby causing the fruit to disengagement and subsequent fall. [0003] Such knockers generally comprise a support rod, preferably of the telescopic type, adapted to be carried by the agricultural machine at a suitable end handle or manually operated by an operator. At the free end, the rod carries a series of shaker elements suitably shaped for insertion between the branches and adapted to rotate or vibrate by a drive of the hydraulic or electric type Movement is activated. [0004] In particular, the currently known beater instruments comprise elongated beat elements, for example in the shape o...
