20090037059 | CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AGRICULTURAL WORKING VEHICLES - The invention relates to a control system for agricultural working vehicles with at least two sensor systems which generate sensor signals (A, B), wherein the sensor signals (A, B) are vehicle-dependent or dependent on the crop characteristics or a combination of both. | 02-05-2009 |
20090044505 | AGRICULTURAL WORKING MACHINE - The invention relates to an agricultural working machine ( | 02-19-2009 |
20120123650 | Agricultural harvesting machine - An agricultural harvesting machine comprising a chopping assembly for fragmenting crop, and a camera situated downstream of the chopping assembly in order to optically detect the fragmented crop and produce images of the fragmented crop, wherein the camera is connected to an image evaluation device which can be operated to detect edges in the generated images in order to deduce properties of the fragmented crop. | 05-17-2012 |
20120263560 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING CROP TRANSFER - A system for controlling crop transfer from a self-propelled agricultural harvesting machine into the loading container of a hauling vehicle includes a transfer device assigned to the harvesting machine from which the crop emerges in the form of a crop discharge flow and a detection device which detects the position of the loading container relative to the harvesting machine and transmits it to a control unit. The control unit actuates at least one actuator assigned to the transfer device in such a way that the crop discharge flow lands within the loading container in order to fill it with crop. The control unit generates a control signal (S) for the hauling vehicle that specifies a position of the hauling vehicle relative to the harvesting machine that is suitable for transfer into the loading container. | 10-18-2012 |
20120265412 | Agricultural hauling vehicle and vehicle network - An agricultural hauling vehicle for receiving material from a traveling original vehicle during travel adjacent to the original vehicle is provided with a hauling container that is fillable from above for receiving the material. A sensor detects the distribution of the material in the hauling container and a control unit varies the position of the hauling vehicle relative to the traveling original vehicle on the basis of the distribution of material detected by the sensor. Preferably the sensor is a camera. | 10-18-2012 |
20120302299 | Harvesting Device - A harvesting system includes a self-propelled harvesting machine and a drivable collecting container equipped with a drive unit, which can be positioned relative to the harvesting machine and moved in parallel therewith. Crop is fed directly or indirectly to the collecting container during harvesting operation from the harvesting machine using a feed pipe equipped with an outlet chute. The collecting container is equipped with a device for loading it with crop in a uniform manner. The collecting container is moved in a constant position relative to the harvesting machine by way of a control device while the crop is being conveyed. The collecting container is preferably a filling device, by way of which uniform distribution of the crop in the collecting container ( | 11-29-2012 |
20130042591 | Method and device for the state detection of a cutting device - A method for state detection of a cutting device for agricultural crop is described. The cutting device is formed with a cutting tool set into rotation with respect to a shear bar operates such that a clearance position of the shear bar is changeable with respect to the cutting too. The method includes assigning at least two interspaced sensors for detecting vibrations to the shear bar caused by the cutting tool upon contact with the shear bar, transmitting signals generated by the sensors to a common signal analysis device and, the common signal analysis device comparing the signals and determining a state of the cutting device. | 02-21-2013 |
20130166344 | METHOD FOR PLANNING A PROCESS CHAIN FOR A AGRICULTURAL OPERATION - A method for planning a process chain for an agricultural operation having a first resource entity of a first type such as harvesting machines and a second resource entity of a second type such as hauling vehicles includes determining a number of machines of the first and second resource entity to be used in the operation depending on the usage time frame and type of operation, determining a plurality of alternative first partial process chains for the first resource entity, determining a second partial process chain for the second resource entity for each of the alternative first partial process chains, combining the alternative first partial process chains with the second partial process chain to form a plurality of total process chains and selecting one of the total process chains. | 06-27-2013 |
20130243562 | Method for uploading crop stored in a grain tank of a harvesting device - A method for unloading crop stored in a grain tank of a self-propelled combine harvester into a drivable collecting container equipped with a drive unit includes positioning the collecting container relative to the combine harvester and moving the collecting container parallel thereto while the crop is fed to the collecting container directly or indirectly by way of a grain tank discharge pipe equipped with an outlet chute, simultaneously with the harvesting operation. | 09-19-2013 |
