Abstract
A multipurpose machine for cultivating trees, comprising an inverted U-shape structure that enables the machine to pass over existing trees to carry out pruning, disinfection or fruit picking tasks, provided at the bottom with wheels, driven by at least one motor that autonomously facilitates the movement thereof, and respective upper frames that telescopically couple to each other, being driven by respective cylinders to move the portion of the structure on the right with respect to the one on the left in order to vary the width of the machine. Likewise, the machine has the ability to raise or lower the upper structure of the same to adapt it to the height of the trees to be cultivated.

A multipurpose machine for cultivating trees, which includes an inverted U-shaped structure that enables the machine to pass over existing trees to carry out pruning, disinfection or fruit picking tasks, provided at the bottom with wheels, driven by at least one motor that autonomously facilitates the movement thereof, the multipurpose machine comprising:
- a first upper frame with a U-shape configuration, a core of said first upper frame makes up a first of longitudinal sides of the machine, while first wings thereof shape up front and rear sides of said structure, said first wings being formed by tubes that are open at a free end and attached at points close to ends thereof by a structural crossbar;
- a second upper frame, with a U-shape configuration, facing that of the first frame, the core of said second upper frame makes up a second of the longitudinal sides of the machine, while second wings telescopically couple inside the first wings of the first frame;
- first respective hydraulic cylinders, the ends of which are mounted inside the respective facing said first and second wings, with the driving of which moves a portion of the structure on a right is telescopically with respect to that on the left, varying the width of the machine;
- respective vertical supports located in vertices of said first and second upper frames made up of a main tube in which a second telescopic tube couples in the lower end of which a wheel is mounted that is equipped with a drive motor and independent guide means for each wheel, wherein said first and second upper frames include said first frame and said second frame;
- second respective hydraulic cylinders, the ends of which are mounted inside each of the vertical supports and the corresponding telescopic tube, in order to lift or lower the upper structure of the machine to adapt said second respective hydraulic cylinders to the height of the trees to be cultivated;
- respective crossbeams that link the lower ends of the vertical supports by the two longitudinal sides of the machine, which make up structural and support means for the drive and control systems of the machine;
- and
- a cabin, mounted on one of the vertical supports, with the ability to rotate from a position in which said cabin is located outside the structure of the machine to another in which said cabin is placed in an area close to the central portion thereof.
A multipurpose machine for cultivating trees, which includes an inverted U-shaped structure that enables the machine to pass over existing trees to carry out pruning, disinfection or fruit picking tasks, provided at the bottom with wheels, driven by at least one motor that autonomously facilitates the movement thereof, the multipurpose machine comprising:
- a first U-shaped upper frame having a first U-shaped upper frame core, the first U-shaped upper frame core makes up a first longitudinal side of the machine, while first wings thereof shape up a front side and a rear side of said inverted U-shaped structure, said first wings being formed by tubes that are open at a free end and attached at points close to ends thereof by a structural crossbar;
- a second U-shaped upper frame facing that of the first U-shaped upper frame, the second U-shaped upper having a second U-shaped upper frame core, the second U-shaped upper frame core makes up a second longitudinal side of the machine, while second wings telescopically couple inside the first wings of the first U-shaped upper frame;
- first respective hydraulic cylinders, wherein ends of said respective hydraulic cylinders are mounted inside the respective facing of said first and second wings, whereby the driving of said respective hydraulic cylinders moves a portion of the inverted U-shaped structure on a first side is telescopically with respect to that on a second side, varying the width of the machine;
- respective vertical supports located in vertices of upper frames made up of a main tube in which a second telescopic tube couples in a lower end of which a wheel is mounted that is equipped with a drive motor and independent guide means for each wheel, wherein the upper frames include said first frame and said second frame;
- second respective hydraulic cylinders, wherein ends of said second respective hydraulic cylinders are mounted inside each of the vertical supports and a corresponding telescopic tube, in order to lift or lower an upper structure of the machine;
- respective crossbeams that link lower ends of the vertical supports by said first and second longitudinal sides of the machine, which make up structural and support means for the drive and control systems of the machine;
- and
- a cabin, mounted on one of the vertical supports, with the ability to rotate from a first position in which said cabin is located outside the structure of the machine to a second position.
