SELF-PROPELLED ROBOTIC HARVESTER FOR SELECTIVE PICKING OF HIGH QUALITY AGRICULTURE ROW CROPS
20200281122 · 2020-09-10 · ·

The present invention relates to automatic and high throughput smart, robotic, autonomous or driver operated, self-propelled field crops harvester (SPFCH) device of row crops, characterized by the need of selecting harvesting ripen crop, during relative long period of time. Harvesting is done by one or more modular robotic harvesting arms hanged on modular booms. When harvesting orchards fruits the SPFCH comprise at least one hybrid robotic arms equipped with a grabbing hand aimed to grab one or more fruit of a an adjacent fruits and also cut its connecting stem, and arm transporting mechanism that gently collects the fruits and transport them to the SPFCH main accumulation area. When harvesting cotton, the SPFCH of the invention may further comprise vacuum sucking hoses and at least one ginning unit that gin the seed-cotton during harvesting and accumulate the seeds in a self-container, and the lint by bales processed, on board by self-press.

INTERNAL AIR ADJUSTMENT DEVICE

An internal air adjustment device that includes a gas composition adjustment unit including a gas separation film and that adjusts a composition of internal air existing inside a storage box, such as a container, includes a pressure regulating valve that regulates a pressure of air that is supplied from an air pump to the gas separation film of the gas composition adjustment unit.

INTERNAL AIR ADJUSTMENT DEVICE

An internal air adjustment device that includes a first composition adjustment unit and a second composition adjustment unit. The first composition adjustment unit separates supply air from external air, the supply air having a composition that differs from a composition of the external air, and supplies the supply air into a transport container. The second composition adjustment unit separates discharge air from internal air, the discharge air having a composition that differs from a composition of the internal air, and discharges the discharge air to outside of the transport container. The internal air adjustment device is capable of properly controlling the composition of the internal air in the transport container.

PORTABLE FABRIC GRAIN BIN
20200229353 · 2020-07-23 ·

A portable grain storage bin including a circular sidewall having a top edge and a bottom edge, a conical cover coupled to and extending upwardly and radially inwardly from the top edge of the circular sidewall, to an opening and a partial floor extending radially inwardly from the bottom edge of the circular sidewall and terminating at a free edge.
