VINE CROP FRUIT WINDROWER

摘要

FIELD: agricultural engineering, in particular, vine crop fruit harvesting machines. ^ SUBSTANCE: windrower has vehicle and frame with pivotally attached fruit shifting device positioned forward of vehicle front wheels. Fruit shifting device is made in the form of succession of pneumatic chambers, with diameters of chambers discretely increasing in direction of movement of shifted fruits and each of said chambers being equipped with reaction drive. Reaction drive comprises ground-engaging devices fixed to each of lower disks and is adapted for increasing rotational speed of pneumatic chambers in direction of shifting of said fruits. Axes of pneumatic chambers are inclined to horizontal plane. ^ EFFECT: increased efficiency by avoiding piling up and mechanical damaging of fruits. ^ 1 dwg
