Automatic start / stop controls for agricultural load and transfer equipment

A scale controller system and method of using the system is disclosed. The scale controller is adapted for use with a grain cart or similar implement that includes a discharge opening and conveyor. The system includes a scale and a plurality of sensors that work together to automate numerous functions that are typically performed manually. For example, the present invention discloses a system that automatically records the amount of material loaded or unloaded by continuously monitoring the load on a scale and the RPMs of a power take-off shaft that drives a conveyor.

QUANTITATIVE DISPENSING SYSTEM
20220236099 · 2022-07-28 ·

Provided is a quantitative dispensing system includes a supply device for supply a weighing object, and a weighing device including a holding unit to hold the weighing object supplied from the supply device, a load sensor unit to detect a load of the weighing object supplied to the holding unit, and an arithmetic processing unit to calculate a weighed value of the weighing object from a detection result on the load and control an operation of the supply device. The arithmetic processing unit performs control to stop the supply device when a current weighed value becomes not less than a supply stop weight value calculated by subtracting a stop weighed value deviation from a supply target weight value. The stop weighed value deviation is calculated in consideration of a flow rate and a supply pressure of the weighing object and a filter setting in the weighing device.

VIBRATORY BEAN DOSER
20240410733 · 2024-12-12 ·

A vibratory dosing system 16 with a dosing chute 24 having a first dosing mechanism 16A and a second dosing mechanism 16B, each dosing mechanism 16A, 16B with a first end 41 proximate a hopper 12 and a second end 43 of each dosing mechanism 16A, 16B is proximate an exit chute 24. One or both dosing chutes may have a ramp 17 portion. A vibratory driver is coupled proximate the second end 43 of one or both dosing mechanisms 16A, 16B and is configured to vertically move the second end 43 of one or both dosing mechanisms 16A, 16B to vibrate one or both dosing mechanisms 16A, 16B; and elastic attachment mechanisms 29 provide an asymmetric suspension for the dosing system 16 to reduce vibratory coupling between the first and second dosing mechanisms 16A, 16B. The dosing system 16 may be provided in operable connection with or otherwise coupled to a hopper 12 and scale 18 for measuring and dispensing a precise pre-selected weight of coffee beans.
