摘要:
An agricultural baler (10) includes a main bale chamber (26) and a plunger (30) reciprocally movable within the main bale chamber (26) through a compression stroke and a return stroke. The plunger (30) has a duty cycle (100) with a maximum power requirement (108), a minimum power requirement (110), and an average power requirement (102) over the duty cycle. A flywheel (44) is associated with the movement of the plunger (30), and a driveline (50) is associated with the flywheel (44) and couplable with a power take-off (PTO) of a traction unit. The baler is characterized by an auxiliary power system (52) coupled with the driveline (50). The auxiliary power system (52) includes a power indicator (64) providing a plurality of output signals, with each said output signal representing a parameter associated with power usage during the duty cycle of the plunger (30). A power device (54, 58) receives power from and/or transfers power to the driveline (50). An electrical processing circuit (62) is coupled with the power indicator (64) and the power device (54, 58). The electrical processing circuit (62) is operable for receiving each output signal and controlling operation of the power device (54, 58), based on at least one output signal from at least one previous duty cycle.

摘要:
A bale ejection sequence for ejecting a bale from a baler (10) is initiated from an operator command based upon monitored bale ejection factors. A controller implements a timing sequence that is based on a calibration of a cycle timing of a tailgate (21) of the baler. The timing sequence relates to movement of the tractor (100), a position of the tailgate, and a hydraulic flow rate of fluid to a hydraulic system (230) connected to the tailgate to move the tailgate between a closed position and an open position.
摘要:
System information and parameters relating to a baler (10) and equipment connected thereto are used to calibrate the speed of a tailgate (21) of the baler. Calibration involves setting the time it takes to raise and lower the tailgate. The calibration timing is used to control the speed of the tailgate for faster and safer bale ejections to ensure the ejection configuration values are tuned to the dynamics of the baler tailgate and hydraulic power of the tractor (100).
摘要:
A tractor (100) and baler (10) combination is provided to automate tractor stopping and baler wrapping while incorporating operator interaction to improve the efficiency of the tractor (100) and baler (10) combination in operation. Automated control systems and manual operator devices are utilized to improve the timing of the tractor stop and baler wrapping time sequences. Various methods to improve efficiency, including methods to synchronize tractor stop with wrapping activation are provided.
