  • Patent number: 9894840
    Abstract: A self-propelled tree fruit picking machine, of the type which includes a vibrator device which acts on the trunk of a tree detected by a probe device. The picking machine includes two side frames joined by a transverse gantries device, equipped with transporting devices to move the fruit towards peeling devices, and from these towards hoppers. Each gantry includes four successively articulated segments with anchoring devices between adjacent segments, which are extractable to fold the machine by closing together both side frames via the action of cylinders to a minimum width. The machine is further equipped with a control cabin which can be moved inwards to the position of minimum width, and with the transport wheels connected to suspension devices adjustable in height via cylinders.

  • Patent number: 6421995
    Abstract: Machine for harvesting tree fruit comprising two parallel, vertical gantries joined at the bottom of their vertical side arms by longitudinal frames extending inward from the insides of the arms and joining the two arms on one side. A duct receives fruit conveyed by a screw container, to an end of the duct with a peeler. A rear storage container for peeled fruit is placed after the peeler. The two frames are separated by a distance slightly greater than the width of the trunk of the trees to be harvested. A longitudinally movably clamp for clamping a tree to be shaken is movable along a longitudinal guide on one of the frames. A feeler supported on one frame contacts the tree and activates the clamp to shake the tree.
