摘要: The present invention relates to a control system and method for controlling operation of one or more operational parameters of an agricultural machine. Using a position of the agricultural machine within a mapped environment; a heading parameter indicative of a direction of travel of the agricultural machine within the mapped environment is determined. An associated operational profile is then employed controlling operation of one or more operable components of the agricultural machine in dependence on the direction of travel of the machine within the mapped environment such that configuration of those components is appropriate for the environmental conditions.

摘要: An agricultural harvester includes a crop processor for reducing crop material to processed crop and an unload conveyor for transferring processed crop out of the agricultural harvester. One or more sensors generate data indicating a fill level of processed crop within a receiving vehicle. A camera generates image data including at least a portion of the receiving vehicle. A controller receives the data from the one or more sensors, determines the fill level of the processed crop in the grain bin of the receiving vehicle, receives the image data from the camera and generates a graphical indicator of the fill level. The graphical indicator includes a graphical depiction of the receiving vehicle from the image data and a graphical marker superimposed over at least a portion of the graphical depiction of the receiving vehicle. A graphical user interface presents the graphical indicator of the fill level to a user.

摘要: A combine harvester includes threshing apparatus, separating apparatus, a grain cleaning system located downstream of the separating apparatus, and a material conveyance system arranged to convey crop material from the separating apparatus to the grain cleaning system. The grain cleaning system includes screening apparatus, a fan arranged to generate a cleaning airstream through the screening apparatus, and a fan control system configured to control a fan speed. The fan control system includes a proximity sensor mounted above the material conveyance system for sensing a material volume. The fan control system controls the fan speed in dependence upon the material volume.

摘要: A spreader tool for an agricultural machine, which includes an inlet into which material is passed from one or more further components of the agricultural machine and an outlet through which the material may be deposited from the machine. A sensing unit is positioned within the flow path of material deposited through the outlet and configured, in use, to measure an impact parameter indicative of a force and/or frequency of material deposited from the spreader tool and incident on a detection surface of the sensing unit, which may be used to determine the grain loss associated with the machine.

摘要: A combine harvester, and method of control involves conveying a crop material stream through a grain cleaning system which has screening apparatus. A cleaning airstream (X) is generated by a fan which is driven by a hydraulic fan drive system. The cleaning airstream (X) is directed through the screening apparatus. A fan drive pressure of a hydraulic supply line within the fan drive system is measured with a sensor. A material quantity value is calculated from the fan drive pressure. A working unit of the combine harvester is controlled using the material quantity value.

摘要: A header for a harvesting machine which includes one or more crop-engaging components and a sensing unit positioned within a flowpath of material and downstream of at least one of the one or more crop-engaging components. The sensing unit is configured, in use, to measure an impact parameter indicative of a force and/or frequency of material incident on a detection surface of the sensing unit in order to determine a measure of grain loss associated with the header.

摘要: A system includes an agricultural crop receiving vehicle with a bin for receiving and holding agricultural crop material and a camera positioned to capture images of an area proximate the receiving vehicle. One or more computing devices receive the image data from the camera, identify one or more features of a harvester in the image data, determine a location of the agricultural harvester relative to the crop receiving vehicle, and use the location of the agricultural harvester to generate control signals for controlling movement of the agricultural crop receiving vehicle to coordinate receiving crop material in the bin from the harvester or for controlling a graphical user interface to present a visual indicator of the relative locations of the agricultural crop receiving vehicle and the agricultural harvester.

摘要: A combine harvester includes a grain pan that is arranged to catch a crop stream. The grain pan is driven in a fore and aft oscillating manner to convey the crop stream rearwardly across a conveyance surface to a rear edge. The grain pan is provided with an upright panel extending in a fore and aft direction on the conveyance surface. A grain cleaning system is arranged to receive the crop stream from the grain pan. A crop stream analysis system is provided for analysing a vertical section of a crop material layer disposed on the grain pan. The analysis system includes a vertical array of photoelectric sensing devices mounted to the panel. Each photoelectric sensing device is configured to sense a reflectance of crop material disposed against the panel. A processor is configured to receive reflectance signals from the photoelectric sensing devices and determine a material stratification status from the reflectance signals.

摘要: A harvester includes a first electromagnetic detecting and ranging module for detecting the location of a receiving vehicle and a second electromagnetic detecting and ranging module for detecting at least one of a fill level and a distribution of processed crop in a grain bin of the receiving vehicle. One or more computing devices are configured to receive first data from the first electromagnetic detecting and ranging module, receive second data from the second electromagnetic detecting and ranging module and use the first data and the second data to generate graphic data defining a graphical representation illustrating the relative positions of an unload conveyor of the harvester and the grain bin and illustrating at least one of a fill level and a distribution of processed crop in the grain bin. An electronic device is configured to use the graphic data to present the graphical representation on a graphical user interface.
