<p>Mechanical plant harvesting devices for harvesting crops from plant material including saddles, harvesting containers, and mechanical actuators, in some examples, the saddles define harvesting container-proximate regions over portions of the surface areas and saddle openings positioned within the harvesting container-proximate regions. In some examples, the harvesting containers define exterior surfaces proximate the saddles over at least a portion of the harvesting container-proximate regions of the saddles and harvesting container openings in the exterior surfaces. In some examples, the rotary actuators are mechanically connected to the harvesting containers and are configured to rotationally drive the harvesting containers through ranges of rotation. In some examples, portions of the harvesting container openings and portions of the saddle openings overlap at one or more harvesting positions in the mechanical actuators' ranges of rotation. Some examples may additionally or alternatively include fine meshes and/or harvesting containers interchangeably connected to mechanical actuators.</p> |
