PICKER-HARVESTER Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A01D45/02 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to the sphere of agricultural engineering industry. The picker harvester comprises in-line blocks, which are installed on the harvester and are designed to pick and gather corncobs. The blocks comprise vertical parallel surfaces arranged as movable with the possibility of motion in various directions. Speed of the surface that moves a corncob for picking is more than speed of the second surface at the ratio of 2:1. On surfaces that move a corncob for picking there are truncated cylindrical elements arranged along height in zone of the corncob arrangement. The radius of truncated cylindrical elements is equal to the radius of a corncob that is average in size.

EFFECT: picker-harvester makes it possible to reduce costs for separation of a corncob, which intensifies harvesting process and increases labour efficiency.
