    摘要: On a dozer, a semi-automatic system automatically translates a joystick to control blade elevation and provides an indicator display to guide manual control of blade slope angle. A mechanical linkage operably couples the joystick to an electrical motor. A computational system receives measurements from measurement units mounted on the dozer; calculates estimated values of elevation and slope angle; compares the estimated values to reference values; and calculates error and control signals. Drivers generate a motor drive signal and a display drive signal. In response to the motor drive signal, the electrical motor translates the joystick to control elevation. In response to the display drive signal, the indicator display generates a graphical representation of the status of slope angle. When the operator needs to take manual control, a proximity sensor detects the presence of at least a portion of the operator's hand, wrist, or forearm and disengages automatic control of elevation.

    摘要: Dozers outfitted with manual or electric valves can be retrofitted with a control system for automatically controlling the elevation and orientation of the blade. No modification of the existing hydraulic drive system or existing hydraulic control system is needed. An arm is operably coupled to the existing joystick, whose translation controls the elevation and orientation of the blade. The arm is driven by an electrical motor assembly. Measurement units mounted on the dozer body or blade provide measurements corresponding to the elevation or orientation of the blade. A computational system receives the measurements, compares them to target reference values, and generates control signals. Drivers convert the control signals to electrical drive signals. In response to the electrical drive signals, the electrical motor assembly translates the arm, which, in turn, translates the joystick. If necessary, an operator can override the automatic control system by manually operating the joystick.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method for automatically controlling a blade of a motor grader. At least one global navigation satellite system (GNSS) antenna and at least one inertial measurement unit (IMU) are mounted on the motor grader. No GNSS antenna is mounted on the blade; and no pole is used for mounting. With each GNSS antenna, GNSS navigation signals are received, and a position of each GNSS antenna is computed. With each IMU, three orthogonal accelerations and three orthogonal angular rotation rates are measured. With at least one processor, a blade position and a blade orientation are computed, based at least in part on the GNSS and IMU measurements. The blade elevation and the blade slope angle (and, in some embodiments, the blade side shift) are automatically controlled, based at least in part on the computed blade position, the computed blade orientation, and a digital job site model.
