A solar energy generated and wirelessly charged mowing system includes a mower and a wireless transmitting device. The mower includes a frame including a driving seat and a wheel set, an electrical driving device connected to the wheel set, an operating device adapted to be operated by a driver, a trimmer, an energy storage device, a solar energy converting device, a wireless receiving device, and a controlling device. The trimmer mows while the frame is moving. The energy storage device includes a rechargeable battery. The solar energy converting device has a solar panel for receiving and converting a solar energy to a first electricity. The wireless receiving device receives and converts a wireless charging energy of the wireless transmitting device to a second electricity. The first electricity and the second electricity charge the rechargeable battery. The controlling device controls the electrical driving device to drive the frame to move.

The present invention provides a ground-contour-following autonomous obstacle avoidance mower for hillside orchards and a control method thereof. Through cooperation of a push rod motor and a rotating pair, multi-angle cutting is achieved, and energy consumption needed by mowing operation is reduced. A connecting rod is arranged and forms a flexible mechanism together with an upper base bearing, a lower base bearing and a base-connecting unthreaded shaft. The flexible mechanism interacts with the push rod motor to achieve ground contour following operation, so that the mower as a whole can conduct ground-contour-following mowing operation on a complex orchard terrain, with a better cutting effect than that of a traditional mower. The use of a right-angle bypassing obstacle avoidance mode realizes precise obstacle avoidance of the mower, and achieves the operation purpose of not excessively relying on operators.

A header of an agricultural harvester is provided. The header includes a rigid modular frame. The rigid modular frame includes a center section, a first outer section, and a second outer section. The first and second outer sections flank the center section and are rigidly coupled to the center section.

The present invention relates to a method for operating and controlling an automatic mower. The automatic mower (1) includes a main cutting unit (7) and an auxiliary cutting unit (17) for trimming. The auxiliary cutting unit (17) has a cutting range extending at least to be flush with a housing (3) of the automatic mower (1). The method includes: detecting a specific object in a normal working mode of the auxiliary cutting unit (17); determining whether the specific object is detected; switching to an obstacle working mode based on at least the specific object being detected; and maintaining the normal working mode of the auxiliary cutting unit (17) based on at least the specific object being not detected.

An attachment system for attaching a crop saving accessory to a cutting header where the cutting header comprises a knife mounted along a lower front edge thereof and a discharge opening in a middle rear portion thereof. The header cuts plants and moves the plants laterally to the discharge opening where the plants move rearward through the discharge opening. The system comprises an accessory engagement mechanism on a rear portion of the crop saving accessory configured to engage a header engagement mechanism mounted on the cutting header. A first end of a tether is attached to the crop saving accessory and a second end of the tether is adapted for attachment to a tether location on the cutting header. The tether is configured such that when the accessory engagement mechanism is disengaged from the header engagement mechanism, the tether prevents the crop saving accessory from moving through the discharge opening.

An exemplary embodiment of the present invention is directed to an apparatus for detecting loose soil having an arm with a first end and a second end. A detector wheel is engaged with the second end of the arm. A spring is configured to bias the arm or the detector wheel in a first direction. An alarm is configured to emit a signal when the movement of the arm or the detector wheel in the first direction exceeds a predetermined threshold.

An agricultural mounted implement for the cleaning of harvested material, which cleaning is mobile and operated on a vehicle, said implement having an implement frame, a fan, and a cleaning unit. The cleaning unit has a pick-up for picking the harvested material to be cleaned; a first air distributor base connected to the fan via an air conveying channel and has a first air passage; a conveyor unit via which the cleaned harvested material is ejected from the cleaning unit; and a drop sieve which is mounted on the implement frame so as to be congruently below the conveyor unit. During operation, the fan sucks in an air flow, guides it under the first air distributor base and blows it out through the first air passage counter to the force of gravity such that the harvested material picked by the pick-up is transported to the conveyor unit.

The invention relates to lifting and adjusting devices for agricultural equipment. The attachment system includes a mounting frame with fastening means for its attachment to the vehicle, and an implement bearing frame capable of vertical movement relative to the mounting frame under the action of lifting devices fixed on the sides of the mounting frame; and a framework located in front of the agricultural implement for installing at least one safety device. By all the design features of the invention, the attachment system enhances the operational efficiency of agricultural equipment by reducing the probability of its damage at obstacle collision, improving operator safety, and preserving the environment.
