摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for sensing and analyzing filling of a grain cart while receiving grain from a combine. Time-of-flight sensors may be mounted on a grain spout (or nozzle) extending from the combine over the grain cart during operation. The sensors provide signals indicative of distances of surfaces of accumulating grain from the sensors, and these distances may be determined by onboard processing circuitry. A third sensor may detect a spout-to-ground distance to help compute the grain level information. Other parameters such as cross-sectional areas, volumes, and locations in the cart may be determined based on the sensed signals. Open or closed loop control of cart and/or combine positioning may be provided based on the signals.

摘要: An agricultural system for monitoring operating conditions associated with disks of an agricultural implement may include a support mount supported relative to a frame member, with the support mount having a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion at least partially spaced apart from each other. Further, the system may include a support member supported relative to the frame member by the support mount, with the support member being positioned between the first and second mounting portions. Moreover, the system may include a shaft supported relative to the frame member by the support member and a ground engaging disk supported on the shaft. Additionally, the system may include a load sensor supported by one of the first mounting portion or the second mounting portion, with the load sensor being configured to generate data indicative of a load on the support member.

摘要: A system for detecting material accumulation relative to rotating ground-engaging tools includes an agricultural implement having a frame and first and second ground-engaging tools supported relative to the frame, with the first ground-engaging tool corresponding to a different tool type than the second ground-engaging tool. The system also includes first and second speed sensor configured to provide data indicative of the rotational speeds of the first and second ground-engaging tools, respectively. In addition, the system includes a computing system communicatively coupled to the first and second speed sensors. The computing system is configured to monitor the rotational speeds of the ground-engaging tools based on the data provided by the speed sensors, determine a speed correlation between the rotational speed of the first ground-engaging tool and the rotational speed of the second ground-engaging tool, and determine when the speed correlation differs from a speed correlation threshold associated with the ground-engaging tools.

摘要: A system for monitoring an installation status of shank attachment members of agricultural implements may include a shank assembly. The shank assembly may have a shank and at least one mounting element configured to couple the shank to a portion of an agricultural implement. The system may further include a shank attachment member coupled to the shank and a signal transmission device provided in operative association with the shank attachment member. The system may further include an antenna provided in operative association with the shank assembly, where the antenna is configured to receive wireless signals transmitted by the signal transmission device. Additionally, the system may include a controller communicatively coupled to the antenna and configured to determine an installation status of the shank attachment member based at least in part on the wireless signals received by the antenna.

摘要: A tillage implement includes a computing system configured to determine the total load being applied to a disk gang of the implement based on data generated by the one or more load sensors. Additionally, the computing system is configured to determine a normalized number of disks on the disk gang based on the surface area of each disk on the disk gang that is in contact with soil in a field across which the tillage implement is traveling. Moreover, the computing system is configured to determine an average load per disk being applied to the disk gang based on the determined total load and the determined normalized number of disks. In addition, the computing system is configured to determine an operational status of the tillage implement based on the determined average load per disk.

摘要: A system for monitoring basket plugging for agricultural implements includes a basket assembly configured to be supported by an agricultural implement and a range sensor positioned relative to the basket assembly such that the range sensor is configured to transmit detection signals towards an interior of the basket assembly and receive return signals based on reflection of the detection signals off at least one surface. The system also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the range sensor. The controller is configured to analyze data received from the range sensor as the basket assembly rotates relative to the range sensor to determine when the basket assembly is experiencing a plugged condition.

摘要: A system for monitoring basket plugging for agricultural implements includes a basket assembly configured to be supported by an agricultural implement and a plugging sensor positioned relative to the basket assembly such that the plugging sensor is configured to transmit detection signals across a field of detection towards an interior of the basket assembly and receive return signals based on reflection of the detection signals off at least one surface. The field of detection extends across a portion of a lateral width of the basket assembly such that the detection signals are transmitted towards multiple locations along the portion of the lateral width. The system also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the plugging sensor. The controller is configured to analyze data received from the plugging sensor as the basket assembly rotates relative to the plugging sensor to determine when the basket assembly is experiencing a plugged condition.
