Field harvesting device for small fruits

A field harvesting device for small fruits comprising

• a harvesting header,
• a hitching pole and
• a framework on wheels so as to be pulled by a moving motorized machine, wherein the harvesting header is a single assembly comprised of
• a frame,
• a conveyor,
• dividing cones, and
• a plurality of assemblies formed at first by worm screws, from each of which individual worm screw extends a rotating separator from which extends a shaft extending into a sprocket wheel;
• wherein two of the plurality of assemblies work as a pair of axially parallel aligned assemblies facing each other such that when one rotating separator, forming part of the pair, rotates clockwise, the other rotating separator forming part of the same pair rotates counterclockwise,
• wherein the counter-rotating separators comprise paddles configured for stripping fruits off of fruit plants, wherein the stripped fruits are projected upwards by the action of the paddles rotating in an upward direction away from each other such that the fruits fall onto U shaped cups located on underneath supports, and roll off onto a primary conveyor;
• the primary conveyor conveys the fruits to an elevator conveyor which directs the fruits into a container;
• wherein the assemblies are linked together at the back of the harvesting header by way of a roller chain connected to the sprocket wheels which are rotationally connected to pillow bearings mounted to the harvesting header frame and covered by a back cover;
• the assemblies are held at the front end of the device by supports brackets mounted on the header frame member, and
• wherein the assemblies are rotationally connected by way of the pillow bearings that allow rotational movements of the assemblies.
