RECIPROCATING SHAKING UNIT Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A01D46/26 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: shaking unit has a frame, which is the limit stop of the balance weight, and an unbalanced mass rotating in it through an actuator, with provision for reciprocal movement. The frame is made in form of a guide, with straight parallel regions, which are joined together at the ends by curvilinear regions of varying radius. The unbalanced mass is in form of a rubber roller and fixed at the end of a guide, which has a lengthwise groove, through which it is fitted in the rectangular end of the drive shaft, which receives rotational moment from the variable speed drive. The frame has clamps with elastic material, moved by a hydraulic cylinder.

EFFECT: device allows for lowering energy consumption of the process of shaking up trees and metal consumption of the construction and smooth regulation of the impact force depending on the age of the tree.
