Description

SYSTEM OF TECHNICAL BADS FOR THE COLLECTION OF HARVESTS

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification, refers to a system of technical meshes and mesh, for harvesting fruit crops (olives, grapes, citrus fruits, nuts, fruits, vegetables, etc. etc. .) collectively or individually, adaptable to any morphology of the plant, planting frames and the topography of the land, obtaining numerous and notable advantages over other existing means of analogous purposes. It consists of a system of technical meshes that, depending on the fruit to be harvested, the most appropriate one will be used, being some made of synthetic foam sheets with alveoli, others made volumetrically and others with air pads.

The meshes will be placed on the ground before harvesting and they will cushion the fall of the fruit and its deposit, facilitate its transport to the container and at no time will the fruit have contact with the soil.

The invention is applicable, as mentioned, in the agricultural sector in the harvesting of crops and other sectors where its use or employment is more advantageous.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Different devices designed for harvesting crops are known in the state of the art, but they do not offer satisfactory solutions mainly due to: high costs, tree morphology, planting frames, land topography, difficulty in agricultural treatments, great efforts physical, accumulation of tasks and work stoppage due to adverse weather conditions, with the consequent loss of quality and profitability.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention mainly consists of a system of technical meshes with resilience properties, which according to the needs of the fruit to be collected will use a mesh model or another characterized by: cushioning the fall of the fruit, either by ripening, demolition (vareo) deposit (cut) in them, in turn will prevent their loss, also facilitate transport to the container through a collection device and at no time the fruit will have contact with the ground, thus preventing deterioration and loss.

Likewise, all the material that composes the device object of the invention will be identified with a serial number, for the control of thefts, thefts and to facilitate its subsequent recycling, it can also be personalized with the ownership, sponsorship or sponsorship.

The device of the invention constitutes a simple and economical means that allows solving all the aforementioned problems, being versatile and configurable to each morphology of the plant, planting frame, topography of the land, agricultural treatments, low physical effort, programming and advancement. of tasks of harvesting of the fruits, compatible with traditional agricultural works both manual and mechanical and with adverse weather conditions, preserving the quality of the product and therefore its profitability.

The system object of the present invention comprises a system of technical meshes that according to the needs of the plant or fruit to be collected, one model or another will be used to cover the entire surface of the same or streets collectively or individually, adapting these to each frame of planting and morphology of the plant and topography of the land, together with a mesh collecting device installed in a cargo container, to facilitate its transport to the container and subsequent unloading in the same, preventing the fruit from having contact with the soil.

The meshes are deposited and secured with the fixing clips to the ground, thus avoiding the candle effect. Once the fruit is precipitated in the meshes, it will be transported to the container, using the mesh collection and harvesting tool. This is possible even with adverse weather conditions.

The present invention allows programming and advancing the work of its placement close to the ripening of the fruit, thus preventing them from having contact with the soil and with residual phytosanitary products, their loss, either by wind, heavy rains, runoff, stuck in muddy soils. and weeds, it is also compatible to perform the traditional work of harvesting either by human and / or mechanical means, since the elastic meshes can be folded down by both means.
