Grape harvester

摘要

The invention relates to agricultural equipment and refers particularly to grape harvesters of the vibrational type. The grape harvester comprises a chassis 1, on which are arranged symmetrically relative to its longitudinal axis a shaker 7, a picking assembly 8 comprising picking elements mounted elastically on bars 9, longitudinal transporters 2, a system 3 for sorting the grapes, and the lifting and loading devices 4. For the purpose of increasing the crop of grapes and reducing damage to the stocks, the shaker 7 and the picking assembly have been fastened to a separate arcuate frame 6 which is fastened to flexible suspension elements and which can thereby be displaced in the transverse plane relative to the frame 1 of the grape harvester. It is expedient to use the present invention for the harvesting of grapes and other berries from bushes grown on walls or freely in rows. <IMAGE>
