In the utility model titled "Machine Configuration," the fan located inside the fan housing is positioned in the main tower. The sorting system inside ensures that clean hazelnuts are removed from the sorting tower. The air-loss preventing system allows waste to be expelled by suction while preventing hazelnuts from passing through. obstacle screen, walking system designed to move the machine, belt guard, engine housing and a specific speed threshold that prevents power transmission while the engine is idling. harvester with intelligent gearbox pulley system that engages gradually when it exceeds the limit. The machine in question is mentioned. As can be seen, this machine is also a classic large and complex one. It is one of the hazelnut harvesting machines with a structure and includes a star airlock. 35 - 2 - State of the art document number 2021 / 017316, titled “Modular Integrated Fine Sieve” Utility model titled "Dual Configuration Hazelnut Harvesting Machine Including Assembly" in the application coarse sieve device (2) and fine sieve operation in the blending stage in the fine sieve assembly modularly integrated into the main structure for this purpose This machine is mentioned. This machine is also a classic large and complex hazelnut harvesting machine. 5 It is one of the machines and includes a star airlock. Purpose of the Invention The main purpose of this invention is to replace the star airlock, separator tank, and coarse airlock components used in existing systems. Product transfer and air insulation without the need for systems such as sieves and fine screens. The aim is to ensure that it is implemented within a compact structure. The other aim of the invention is to achieve performance levels of approximately 14 HP where approximately 45 HP is required. is the ability to provide it. Another objective of the invention is to reduce the machine's size by approximately 70%. Another aim of the invention is to reduce production costs, decrease the need for service, and make it small. 15 The goal is to create an accessible system for farmers. The invention was realized using a helical airlock, compact vacuum, and mobile system. Agricultural harvesting machines are shown in the following figures; Figure 1: Perspective view of the harvesting machine 20 Figure 2: View of the harvesting machine from the left side. Figure 3: Front view of the harvesting machine. Figure 4: Right-side view of the harvesting machine. Figure 5: Top view of the harvesting machine.

Helical air lock (2), developed to enable its implementation within the structure, 10 compact, vacuum, mobile agricultural harvester vacuum fan (13) that provides vacuum formation, suction inlet (9) to which the harvesting hose is connected, cylindrical body (1) and the aforementioned cylindrical Helical air insulation positioned on the central axis of the fuselage (1) The lock (2) section conveyor screw passes the harvested product through the sieve grid (5). (4) section, then the harvest outlet where the harvested product is discharged (3) 15 It includes. In the invention, the cylindrical body (1) which provides a compact structure is connected to the suction port (9). The helical airlock (2) section, helical (4) section, sieve grid (5) and harvest outlet opening (3) while the separator tank, coarse screen and fine screen systems found in the previous technique are included 20 There is no longer a need for it. Because the system has been downsized, the energy required has also decreased. Harvesting capability with an engine and fuel that has at least 50% lower capacity than that used in current technology. has been provided. One of the most important elements of our invention is the helical airlock (2), as its name suggests. As can be understood, it is not a classic star-winged wing but a spiral wing in accordance with the cylindrical body (1). It is in the form of a cylindrical body (1) positioned on the central axis and a sieve grid (5) In the previous section, a helical air cylinder passed the harvested product through and trapped the air. The wings of the lock (2) are made of rubber, silicone or plastic material. After the helical airlock (2) which is positioned on the central axis of the cylindrical body (1) carrying the harvested product through the sieve grid (5) and discharge of the harvested product The conveyor screw (4) section continues to transport the harvest until the harvest outlet (3) where it takes place. It receives. Finally, the products that fall from the harvest outlet (3) are stored in the desired area. They are being evacuated. 35
