RFID Spacing for Small Square Bale Aggregates
20240040967 · 2024-02-08 ·

A method of storing information corresponding to crop material formed into a bale during a baling process for an aggregation of bales. Crop material is formed into a bale with the baler to obtain a formed bale. At least one parameter of the crop material or formed bale is detected with at least one crop sensor and/or bale sensor for the formed bale. The baler is provided with binding material from the binding material roll comprising identification tags at spaced intervals along the binding material. The formed bale is bound with the binding material using the knotter system such that an identification tag is applied to the bale to obtain a tagged bale. A bale ID is created for the tagged bale and the sensor parameter for the tagged bale is associated with the bale ID. Further crop material is formed into at least one additional bale with the baler to obtain at least one additional formed bale. The at least one additional formed bale is bound with the binding material such that an identification tag is not applied to the at least one additional formed bale to obtain at least one non-tagged bale. The at least one non-tagged bale is associated with the tagged bale and the tagged and non-tagged bales are formed into a bale aggregate.

A bale bundling system includes a frame (5) capable of being attached to and drawn by a tractor, a bale bundling chamber (4) disposed on the frame (5) to form a pack (3) of bales (2) disposed vertically in a longitudinal direction (Y) of the pack (3), a pushing device (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18) disposed to insert bales (2) into the bundling chamber (4), a platform (19) for lifting bales mounted vertically displaceable inside the bundling chamber (4), and a retaining device (21) for retaining bales (2) in the upper position. The pushing device (13) includes a compressing surface (13a) adapted to apply on a layer (20) of bales (2) an active compression force in a transverse direction (X) of the pack (3), inside the bundling chamber (4), so that the compressing surface (13a) applies the active compression force on the layer (20) of bales (2), while the lifting platform vertically moves the layer (20) in the internal space of the bundling chamber (4).

It comprises a bundling chamber (2) and a bale conveying device (5), wherein the bundling chamber (2) includes; a first enclosure (2a) to form a first bundle (B1) of bales inside the bundling chamber (2), and a second enclosure (2b) to form a second bundle (B2) of bales inside the bundling chamber (2), wherein said bale conveying device (5) is arranged to convey a first incoming bale (3B1) to a first bale loading position (P1) and a second incoming bale (3B2) to a second bale loading position (P2). The system further includes at least one bale pushing device (8a, 8b) to displace said first and second incoming bales (3B1, 3B2) from the first and second bale loading positions (P1, P2) into the respective first and second enclosures (2a, 2b), and processing and control means configured to successively send a control signal to said at least one bale pushing device (8a, 8b) for said bale pushing device (8a, 8b) to successively displace a number of new incoming bales (3B1, 3B2) into the respective first and second enclosures (2a, 2b).
