SYSTEM FOR COLLECTING AND TRANSPORTING FRUIT OR THE LIKE FROM HILLSIDES OR THE LIKE

Abstract

System for the collection and transport of fruits, from slopes or slopes of hills or the like, is conformed with a tubular body (1) of PVC, which is anchored to the slope of the hill (2) being detachable, light and portable, characterized in that the straight tubular body (1) is provided with openings (3) each a certain number of meters, so as to introduce into said openings (3), containers with fruit (4), which are provided with projections (5), said openings are arranged so as to correspond to the rows of fruit trees; at the lower end of said tubular body (1), a further corrugated tubular retention body (7) of containers (4) and arranged in a curved, non-collapsible manner is fitted by means of a quick coupling system (6), which makes it possible to reduce the speed of the fruit containers (4), those that go inside the tubular body (1) transporting the fruit inside.

Claims

1. Portable system for the collection and transport of fruits from slopes or slopes of hills or similar, it is conformed with a tubular body (1) of PVC, which is anchored to the slope of the hill (2) being dismantled, light and portable, CHARACTERIZED because the straight tubular body (1), is provided with openings (3) each a certain number of meters, so as to introduce into these openings (3), containers with fruit (4), which are provided with projections (5), said openings are arranged (every 6 m) so that they correspond to the rows of fruit trees; at the lower end of said tubular body (1), another corrugated tubular retention body (7) of containers (4) and arranged in a curved, non-collapsible manner is fitted by means of a quick coupling system (6), which makes it possible to reduce the speed of the fruit containers (4), those that go inside the tubular body (1) transporting the fruit inside.

2. Portable system according to claim 1, CHARACTERIZED because the system adapts to any type of hillsides and allows to harvest the fruit trees that are planted in it, such as: orange trees, lemons, avocados, lucuma, etc.

3. Portable system according to claim 1, CHARACTERIZED because the system works by gravity, without internal cables and although the containers (4), which contain the fruit collected on steep slopes, take a great speed in the slope, the corrugated tubular body (7) forms interior equidistant protrusions (8) which, faced with the projections (5) of the containers (4), allow the containers with fruit (4) to be stopped.

4. Portable system according to claim 1, characterized in that the corrugated tubular body (7), is shorter than the straight tubular body (1) and has a greater curvature to the extent that the system of the invention is installed on a greater slope.

5. Portable system to claim 1, CHARACTERIZED because each fruit container (4) carries an electronic chip (9) that allows identifying it, to determine the quantitative yield of fruit harvest; the chips (9) are monitored from a PC.

Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

[0013] To better understand the invention, system for the collection and transport of fruits, from hillsides or slopes or similar, we will describe it based on the figures that form an integral part of this invention, without meaning restricting it to obvious modifications that could arise, where:

[0014] FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the union of the fruit transport system, with a straight upper tubular body and a lower corrugated tubular body, arranged in a curve.

[0015] FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal sectional view of the lower curved tubular leather for container retention.

[0016] FIG. 3 shows a side view of a container for fruit transport by the tubular transport system of the invention.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] System for the collection and transport of fruits, from slopes or slopes of hills or the like, is conformed with a tubular body (1) of PVC, which is anchored to the slope of the hill (2) being detachable, light and portable, characterized in that the straight tubular body (1) is provided with openings (3) each a certain number of meters, so as to introduce into said openings (3), containers with fruit (4), which are provided with projections (5), said openings are arranged so as to correspond to the rows of fruit trees; at the lower end of said tubular body (1), a further corrugated tubular retention body (7) of containers (4) and arranged in a curved, non-collapsible manner is fitted by means of a quick coupling system (6), which makes it possible to reduce the speed of the fruit containers (4), those that go inside the tubular body (1) transporting the fruit inside.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, the invention, system of harvesting and transporting fruit from hillsides or hill slopes or the like, is formed with a tubular body (1) of PVC, which is anchored to the slope of the hill by means of iron forks (2) being detachable, light and portable; provided with openings (3) each a certain number of meters, so as to introduce into these openings (3) containers with fruit (4), which are provided with lower protrusions (5), said openings are arranged (every 6 m) so that they correspond to the row of fruit trees. At the lower end of said tubular body (1), it is coupled by a quick coupling system (6) with a shaped pipe or body tubular retention (7) container (4) and arranged in a curved shape which can vary its angle depending on the level of acceleration of the container, not collapsible, allowing to reduce the speed of fruit containers (4), which they go inside the tubular body (1) transporting the fruit inside.

[0019] This system adapts to any type of hillsides and allows to harvest the fruit trees that are planted in it, such as: avocados, olives, vines, prickly pears, lucuma, etc.

[0020] The system works by gravity, without internal cables and although the containers (4), which contain the fruit collected on steep slopes, take a great speed on the slope, the corrugated tubular body (7) has outgoing equidistant interior shapes (8) that faced with the protrusions (5) of the containers (4), they allow to brake the containers with fruit (4). This corrugated tube (7) is shorter than the straight tubular body (1) and is arranged with a greater curvature as the system of the invention is installed on a greater slope.

[0021] In addition, each container of fruit (4) carries an electronic chip (9) that identifies it, to determine the performance of the fruit harvester.

[0022] The chips (9) are monitored from a PC (not illustrated), which allows the owner of the plantation to access the system from where he is and to know at any time the quantity of containers harvested and therefore the volume of his harvest, yield of your staff and build all the statistics that the economic management of the garden requires.

[0023] This system is adaptable to different sizes of orchards and absolutely portable, which allows its transfer to the interior of the orchard to the extent that it is harvested and its use in other orchards.
