IMPROVED APPARATUS FOR FILLING CONTAINERS WITH HORTICULTURAL PRODUCTS Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B65B25/02 B65B5/08 B65B35/32 

FIELD: instrument engineering.

SUBSTANCE: device comprises at least one conveyor that moves in a horizontal plane along a closed path, at least one mobile unit, located at the output edge of the conveyor and equipped with moving and engaging means, wherein the assembly is configured to allow the container to swing around the hinge axis from the first raised position, in which the plane of the charging opening of the container is inclined at a maximum predetermined angle with respect to the plane of the conveyor, and the feed opening remains adjacent to the output end of the conveyor, in subsequent working positions, in which the capacity occupies less and less inclined positions, until the loading hole does not occupy a horizontal position. Conveyor, when the container is in inclined positions, can move forward to the container, so that the product under the influence of gravity falls into the container. In this case, the assembly comprises a rocking frame, having a substantially U-shaped shape, the open side of which is suitable for being placed in front of the output edge of the conveyor, the gripping means disposed on the frame are arranged to be selectively arranged, at least in part, around the outer perimeter of the container and in contact with it and away from it.

EFFECT: invention provides for the expansion of functionality, improvement of quality and productivity.
