CATCHER OF THE BERRY HARVESTER Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC A01D46/28 

FIELD: agriculture; machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agricultural machine building. Disclosed is an berry harvester comprising, on both sides of its longitudinal symmetry plane and above corresponding longitudinal conveyors, two sections, which are groups of disks mounted with possibility of free rotation around individual axes, deviated from longitudinal symmetry plane to acute angle, wherein disks of each of sections are arranged along longitudinal symmetry plane in two tiers with alternation and overlapping of surfaces. Axes of rotation of all discs located on one side of the longitudinal symmetry plane are fixed on a longitudinal beam placed between tiers of discs and connected to the frame of the machine in its upper part by means of cranked suspensions and longitudinal axes, which are located closer to the longitudinal symmetry plane, than the center of gravity of the entire suspended on them section of the trap. Longitudinal beam is made in the form of pipe of rectangular section, oriented by one side of rectangle perpendicular to axes of rotation of disks mounted on it. Axes of rotation of discs of upper tier are fixed on beam closer to longitudinal symmetry plane, than lower ones, and elbows of suspensions are oriented in direction opposite to longitudinal plane of symmetry, where thin-walled hollow flat truncated right circular cone is rigidly attached to rim of each disc without flush with its lower surface by its lower smaller base along smaller inner diameter. Outer generatrix of its lateral surface forms acute axis with axis of symmetry of truncated right circular cone equal to acute angle of deflection of individual axes of symmetry and rotation of disks from lengthwise plane of symmetry of device.

EFFECT: invention consists in reduction of yield losses of berry crops.
