GROUND PRESSURE FEEDBACK SENSOR SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING HEADER FLOAT
A method for dynamically operating a header float system of an agricultural vehicle having a header movably mounted to a frame of the agricultural vehicle by an actuator. The method includes: determining a target ground reaction force between the header and a ground surface located below the header, determining an actual ground reaction force between the header and the ground surface, comparing the actual ground reaction force to the target ground reaction force, and upon determining that the actual ground reaction force differs from the target ground reaction force by a predetermined amount, operating the actuator to reduce a difference in value between the actual ground reaction force and the target ground reaction force. An agricultural vehicle having a header operated as described above is also provided.
ELECTRIC WORK VEHICLE
An electric work vehicle includes at least one motor configured to drive one or both of a travelling device and a working device included in a vehicle; an operation section configured to direct a rotational speed or actuation of the motor; a control section configured to control the motor according to an operation of the operation section; and a battery configured to supply power to the motor. The control section decreases an upper limit of rotational speed of the motor, based on a detected result with regard to a battery condition including a voltage of the battery.
RIDING LAWN MOWER
A riding lawn mower includes: a walking assembly including a left walking motor and a right walking motor; a left operating member for generating a left operational amount; a right operating member for generating a right operational amount; a walking motor control module for controlling at least one of the left walking motor or the right walking motor. The walking motor control module includes: an input unit for generating a left reference speed and a right reference speed; a decoupling unit for generating a first velocity and a second velocity from the left reference speed and the right reference speed; a processing unit for independently obtaining a first processed velocity from the first velocity and obtaining a second processed velocity from the second velocity; and an output unit for generating a left target speed or a right target speed from the first processed velocity and the second processed velocity.
POWER TOOL AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR
A power tool includes an electric motor; a battery pack for providing a power supply; a switching circuit for outputting a power-on signal or a shutdown signal; a first switching device for controlling a power-on state of the electric motor; a second switching device for driving the electric motor to rotate; and a controller electrically connected to at least the first switching device, the switching circuit, and the second switching device. The controller is configured to, when the power-on signal is detected, control the first switching device and the second switching device to control, in a first working mode, the electric motor to rotate and when the shutdown signal is detected, control the first switching device and the second switching device to control, in a second working mode, the electric motor to rotate.
Control assembly coupled to handle of an implement
A handle is configured to be coupled to an implement to guide the implement during operation. The handle includes a first member configured to be coupled to a main body of the implement, a second member movably coupled to the first member between a retracted position and an extended position, and a locking mechanism coupled between the first member and the second member. The locking mechanism is moveable between a locked position, in which the second member is fixed relative to the first member, and an unlocked position, in which the second member is movable relative to the first member. The handle also includes a control assembly configured to allow operation of the implement in response to the locking mechanism being moved into the locked position.
NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA AND DEVICES FOR BLADE WEAR MONITORING
Provided is a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to obtain a first signal based on an input image using a trained machine learning model, the input image being an image of a plant cut by a blade, and the first signal indicating a wear level of the blade, determine whether a level of the first signal is greater than or equal to a threshold, generate a second signal in response to determining the level of the first signal is greater than or equal to the threshold, and output the second signal.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING CROP YIELD FOR AN AGRICULTURAL HARVESTER USING A MACHINE-LEARNED MODEL
In one aspect, a computing system for estimating crop yields for agricultural harvesters. The computing system includes one or more processors, and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media that collectively store a machine-learned yield estimation model configured to receive data associated with one or more operation-related conditions for an agricultural harvester and process the data to determine a yield-related parameter indicative of a crop yield for the agricultural harvester. In addition, the computer-readable media stores instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the computing system to perform operations, the operations comprising: obtaining the data associated with one or more operation-related conditions; inputting the data into the machine-learned yield estimation model; and receiving a value for the yield-related parameter as an output of the machine-learned yield estimation model.
Controller for a Harvester
A controller for a harvester. The controller is configured to receive crop flow information representative of how crop is flowing through the harvester and generate display information for providing a visual display to an operator of the harvester. The visual display includes an animation of crop flowing through the harvester. The controller is further configured to set one or more properties of the animation of the crop flowing through the harvester based on the received crop flow information.
Riding lawn mower and operating apparatus with position detection for the same
A riding lawn mower includes a chassis, a power output assembly, a walking assembly, a power supply device, a control module, and an operating apparatus. The operating apparatus includes at least one bracket, an operating lap bar assembly, a pivoting assembly, and a position detecting module. The pivoting assembly mounts the operating lap bar of the operating lap bar assembly on the bracket. The operating lap bar can rotate around different positions in a first direction F1 and/or a second direction F2. The position detecting module includes a magnetic element and a magnetic sensor. The magnetic element is provided on the pivoting assembly or the bracket and the magnet sensor is spaced from the magnetic element so that the magnetic element and the magnetic sensor can generate a relative movement for detecting the position of the operating lap bar in the first direction F1 and/or the second direction F2.
METHODS OF MEASURING HARVESTED CROP MATERIAL
A method of measuring a harvested crop includes measuring a first attribute of a first electric field in a first volume containing crop material, measuring a second attribute of a second electric field in a second volume containing crop material, and determining at least two different properties of the crop material based at least in part on the first attribute and the second attribute.
