    摘要: A self-propelled forage harvester is disclosed. The forage harvester includes a feed device, a chopping device comprising a cutterhead equipped with cutting blades and a shear bar for comminuting harvested material, a drive, and a driver assistance system for controlling at least the chopping device. The driver assistance system includes a memory for saving data and a computing device for processing the data saved in the memory, wherein the chopping device and the driver assistance system in combination form an automatic chopping system in that the computing device continuously determines a compaction of the comminuted harvested material using harvested material parameters during a harvesting process in order to autonomously ascertain and specify a cutting length to be adapted for maintaining nearly constant compactability.

    摘要: A forage harvester is disclosed. The forage harvester has at least one work assembly for processing harvested material of a crop, which includes grain components. In operation, the harvested material is transported in a harvested material flow along a harvested material transport path through the forage harvester. The forage harvester further includes a corn cracker as a work assembly and a control assembly that includes an optical measuring system. The optical measuring system has a camera for recording image data of the harvested material, with the camera being positioned after the corn cracker. The control assembly, using an image recognition routine, determines image regions assigned to a comminuted grain component in the image data, determines geometric properties of the assigned comminuted grain components based on the image regions, and determines an indicator of a processing quality of the comminuted grain components from the geometric properties.

    摘要: A forage harvester with at least one work assembly is disclosed. The forage harvester has a corn cracker to process grain components and a driver assistance system. The driver assistance system controls the corn cracker by adjusting the machine parameters of the corn cracker. In particular, the driver assistance system has an optimization model which includes a multidimensional characteristic map that represents a relationship between a processing quality of the grain components and at least three parameters that comprise an input parameter representing a current harvesting process state and at least one machine parameter of the corn cracker as an output parameter. Thus, the driver assistance system determines the output parameter in the control routine during the harvesting process based on the varying input parameter from the optimization model and adjusts it in the corn cracker to achieve a uniform given processing quality of the grain components during the harvesting process.
