A vibrating shaker for berry bushes, comprising a housing with a handle and a shaking fork, an electric motor, a vibration transmission mechanism, characterized in that it is equipped with a replaceable battery and a controller located in the housing, the shaking fork is made in the form of two guides, on the inner side of one of which a movable clamp with an elastic gasket is fixed, and a touch sensor is installed in the base, connected to the controller.

Description

The invention relates to agricultural engineering, in particular to devices for the manual collection of berry bushes, such as gooseberries and currants. A hand-held berry shaker is known. It consists of a housing containing a cylinder and a piston with a fork attached to the end of the cylinder. The opposite end of the cylinder is closed by a lid, which is pressed by a trigger. The trigger is connected via a channel to the front cavity of the cylinder, which also contains an intermediate cavity. The front cavity is connected via a bypass channel to the rear cavity, which has exhaust ports connected to the intermediate cavity, which is connected to the atmosphere via ports. The trigger has ports, a nipple for connecting the shaker to a compressed air line via a flexible hose, and a valve for turning the shaker on and off. The housing fits into the cylindrical bore of the handle, and they are secured to each other by elastic dampers. The dampers are elastic rings that form closed annular cavities with the housing and handle. The dampers also have openings that connect the annular cavities with the atmosphere (USSR Author's Certificate 835354, IPC A01D 46/26, 1981). A fruit vibrator is known, comprising a housing with brackets to which a finger-shaped fork is attached, the base of which is connected to a drive. The brackets are pivotally connected to the fork's fingers at the center and to the housing, with the distance between the hinges attaching the brackets to the fork being less than the distance between the hinges attaching the brackets to the vibrator housing (USSR Patent 676222, IPC A01D 46/00, 1979). A berry shaking vibrator is known which comprises a housing with a bracket hingedly attached to it, to which the arm of a two-fingered fork is hingedly connected, the base of which is hinged to the rod by means of a lever mechanism made in the form of a two-arm lever having a longitudinal groove located between its ends with a roller support located in it, connected to a stand rigidly fixed to the vibrator housing (The Innovative Designs of Technical Equipment for Horticulture.

DOI: 10.17277/voprosy.2017.04.pp.221-230). The disadvantages of known devices include increased vibration levels for the operator and damage to branches of shrubs. The closest technical equivalent to the claimed device is a fruit shaking vibrator (patent RU 2144758, IPC A01D 46/26, 2000), comprising a housing with a shaking fork, an electric motor, a handle, and a vibration transmission mechanism with the fork. The fruit shaking vibrator comprises a handle with a switch connected to the housing via a shock absorber, an electric motor, a worm gear with a pinion gear, and driven gears with a balancing counterweight and a cutout. The driven gears, via connecting rods, transmit torque to the fork and the plant trunk through an elastic coating. The disadvantages of the known vibrator are that, although the forks are equipped with an elastic coating, in the vibration zone the bark of the bush receives significant damage from the vibrations of the branch and impact with the walls of the working fork. The technical objective of the proposed invention is to prevent damage to branches when picking berries. The technical result consists in increasing the efficiency of the berry picking process and productivity. The stated objective is achieved in that a vibrating shaker for berry bush fruits, comprising a housing with a shaking fork, an electric motor, a handle, a vibration transmission mechanism with a fork, according to the invention is equipped with a replaceable battery and a controller located in the housing, the shaking fork is made in the form of two guides, on the inner side of one of which a movable clamp with an elastic gasket is fixed, and a touch sensor connected to the controller is installed in the base. The invention is explained by drawings. Fig. 1 schematically shows the general appearance of the vibrating shaker, side view; Fig. 2 also shows a top view, and Fig. 3 shows a shaking fork with a clamp. A vibrating fruit shaker for berries, such as currants, gooseberries, etc., consists of a housing 1 containing a replaceable battery, an electric motor, a vibration transmission mechanism, and a controller. The upper portion of the housing 1 is designed as a handle 2, and a Y-shaped shaking fork 3 is located in the front. The shaking fork 3 is designed in the form of two guides 4, at the base of which a contact sensor 5 is installed, for example, a resistive force sensor of the FSR type, which is triggered upon contact with the branch 6 and sends a signal to the controller (not shown in the figure). A movable clamp 7 is fixed to one of the guides 4, connected via the controller to the touch sensor 5. The outer part of the clamp 7, which contacts the branch, is ma
