    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for inhibiting the bridging of a work vehicle. A method adjusts a position of an implement of a work vehicle to inhibit a bridging of the work vehicle. The method includes: receiving, by a processor associated with the work vehicle, a chassis pitch angle associated with a chassis of the work vehicle from the Grade Control System; determining, by the processor, whether the chassis pitch angle is greater than a predefined threshold; receiving, by the processor, a current height of the implement relative to a grade from the Grade Control System; determining, by the processor, an offset to move the implement to a height above the grade based on the current height of the implement; and outputting, by the processor, the offset to the Grade Control System to move the implement to inhibit the bridging of the work vehicle.

    摘要: A framework comprises a laser distance meter (LDM), first and second laser reflectors at respective nodes, and an excavator including a chassis, a linkage assembly (LA) including a boom and stick, an implement including the nodes and tilting about axis TA, an implement sensor generating signal θtilt, and architecture. The LDM generates LDM distance signals DLDM and LDM angle of inclination signals θINC between the LDM and the laser reflectors. The architecture comprises LA actuators and a controller programmed to determine the TA relative to horizontal based on θtilt and execute an iterative process to curl the excavating implement and create bucket angles, align the LDM and the first node to determine a set of rotated IDV, align the LDM and the second node to determine a set of rotated IPV, and determine implement dimensions between the nodes based on the set of rotated IDV and IPV.

    摘要: A framework comprises a laser distance meter (LDM), reflector, and excavator comprising a chassis, linkage assembly (LA), boom and stick sensors, implement, and control architecture. The LA comprises a boom and stick defining LA positions. The LDM is configured to generate a DLDM and θINC between the LDM and the reflector at a node, and the control architecture comprises actuator(s) and a controller programmed to execute at successive LA positions an iterative process (comprises generating θB, generating θS, and calculating a height H and a distance D between the node and the LDM based on DLDM and θINC), build a set of H, D measurements and a corresponding set of θB, θS for n LA positions, and execute a linear least squares optimization process based on the H, D set and corresponding set of θB, θS to determine and operate the excavator using LB, LS, θBBias, and θSBias.

    摘要: A work equipment control device includes a work equipment state specifying unit, a control reference specifying unit, a distance specifying unit, and a bucket control unit. The work equipment state specifying unit specifies a state of work equipment. The control reference specifying unit specifies a control reference of the work equipment. The distance specifying unit specifies a distance between the work equipment and the control reference. The bucket control unit generates a control command to drive a bucket such that the state of the work equipment is maintained when the distance between the work equipment and the control reference is less than a bucket control start threshold.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying operations of a machine. The system includes a work tool and an operator input device configured to receive input indicative of a desired movement of the work tool and to generate a command data stream associated with the received input. The system also includes an actuator configured to move the work tool according to the command data stream and a controller in communication with the operator input device and the actuator. The controller is configured to convert the command data stream into a frequency data stream and identify a pattern in the frequency data stream. The controller is also configured to make a classification of a current operation of the machine as one of a plurality of known operations based on the identified pattern. The controller is further configured to trigger an event associated with the current operation of the machine.
