The invention relates to pneumatic cushions for soft reception of harvested fruit on mechanized fruit harvesters, meant to cushion the fall of harvested fruit wherein the assembly (3) consists of a plastic reception tray (4) and a rubber membrane (5), and the whole assembly (3) has a polygonal shape. The rubber membrane (5), which is most favourably made of food-grade rubber, is stretched over the upper side of the reception tray (4) and the side edges of the tray (4), and attached to the side surfaces of the tray (4). The membrane (5) is glued around the entire side perimeter of the tray (4) and secured by means of a safety tape (6). On the part opposite to sides (c, d), on the bottom of the tray (4), are fitted blow-holes (7) for release of air from underneath the membrane (5). On the corner of the tray (4), formed by sides (a, e), is fitted a mechanism (10) for revolving connection of the tray (4) to the support (23) and to air supply pipes (20), wherein the mechanism (10) includes an axle (12) and a bushing (13) with a hole (14).

A graphical user interface is disclosed for controlling a harvesting system, the harvesting system driving each of two shaking actuator frequencies individually, the user interface setting or displaying the frequencies of the two actuators as a Value-Time User Interface (VTUI). The VTUI shows shaking parameters in the vertical axis against time in the horizontal axis, the VTUI able to be used to control the shaker in real time, to create and edit a shake pattern, and to display values of shake parameters as the shake is occurring.

A shaped conveyor assembly configured for use in association with a harvester comprising a first side lower conveyor sub-assembly and a second lower conveyor subassembly. One or both of the sub-assemblies having a frame structure, a discharge assembly and a conveyor assembly. The frame structure has a gathering portion, an outward portion and a terminating portion. The gathering portion is positioned proximate the first end and spaced apart from the second end. The terminating portion is positioned proximate the second end and spaced apart from the first end. The outward portion extends therebetween, the outward portion being inclined in an upward direction relative to the gathering portion, and directed in an outward direction, thereby extending away from the channel, and away from the other one of the first side and the second side lower conveyor sub-assemblies.

An end effector for harvesting fruit. The end effector has a housing and a plurality of tangs extending from an end of the housing. The end effector further has an oscillator device secured to the housing and the oscillator device in an oscillating relationship with the plurality of tangs.

A shaker device including at least one motorized member that is intended to transmit by contact a shaking force to objects to be shaken. The member includes a plurality of structural inserts that are covered by a wear jacket. Each of the structural inserts has respective left lobes and right lobes. The inserts are distributed in the jacket so as to form a respective discrete stack of left lobes and right lobes.

An agricultural mechanical harvesting system useable with a harvester machine. The system includes at least one airflow generator connected to nozzles via air conduction systems for ejecting pressurized air flows from the nozzles located in the harvester machine above fruit receiving units and under fruit harvester units. The nozzles are positioned above the fruit receiving units and under the fruit harvester units of the harvester machine.
