    摘要: An agricultural harvester has a frame and a spout that is movably mounted relative to the frame. A spout actuator drives movement of the spout relative to the frame. Harvesting functionality engages material from a field and delivers the material through an outlet end of the spout as the agricultural harvester moves through the field in a direction of travel. A turn identifier identifies a location of a turn forward of the agricultural harvester and generates a turn location indicator indicative of the location of the turn. A speed detector detects a speed of the agricultural harvester and generates a speed indicator indicative of the detected speed. A position compensation control system generates spout position compensation information based on the turn location indicator and the speed indicator, and a spout position controller controls the spout actuator based on the spout position compensation information.

    摘要: An alignment module is adapted to determine the relative position of the spout and the cells in the container via processing of image data such that the spout is aligned within a target fill zone of the cells in accordance with a fill sequence or fill plan instructions in which (a) first, the alignment module is adapted to direct the spout to fill the container with the material in a first mode to a first target level that is less than a peak height of the container; (b) second, the fill level estimator is adapted to estimate the number of cells that are below the first target level after directing the spout to fill in the first mode; and (c) third, the alignment module is adapted to direct the spout to fill the container in a second mode to a second target level that is greater than the first target level if less than a threshold number of cells are below the first target level, where the second mode is generally opposite in direction to the relative spout-container movement of the first mode.

    摘要: A system and method of use of said system for communication between a farm implement and a receiving vehicle regarding a position of a chute of the farm implement relative to the farm implement. The system can include a transmitting module provided with the farm implement and a receiving module provided with the receiving vehicle. The transmitting module can include a power source, a position sensing circuit, an encoding circuit, and a transmitter for communicating with the receiving module regarding the position of the chute. The receiving module can include a power source, a user interface, a decoding circuit, and a receiver for receiving signals from the transmitter of the transmitting module indicative of the position of the chute.

    摘要: A controller for an unloading system. The unloading system comprises an unloading vehicle having an unloading apparatus and a collection vehicle having a container. The unloading apparatus is configured to direct material to the container driven in the vicinity of the unloading vehicle. The controller is configured to: receive image data representative of at least a portion of the container; receive a path information signal representative of a path that is to be followed by the unloading vehicle or the collection vehicle; and set an attribute of the unloading apparatus, the unloading vehicle, or the collection vehicle in accordance with the image data and the path information signal in order to direct the material from the unloading apparatus to the container.
