Abstract:
An agricultural baling machine including: a frame; a connection point for attaching to a towing vehicle; a plunger in a bale-forming chamber; a driveline for taking power from the towing vehicle and causing reciprocal rectilinear motion of the plunger in the bale-forming chamber; and a drawbar member that provides a mechanical link between the connection point and the frame. The drawbar member is rotatably coupled to the frame such that the height of the connection point relative to the frame of the baling machine is adjustable.
Abstract:
A universal joint shaft can be provided for transmitting torque between a power take-off shaft of a driving agricultural machine and a drive journal of an agricultural implement to be driven. The universal joint shaft comprises a first joint with a first inner joint member and a first outer joint member, which are pivotably and torque-transmittingly connected to each other, a second joint, with a second inner joint member and a second outer joint member, which are pivotably and torque-transmittingly connected to each other, a connecting shaft, via which the first inner joint member and the second inner joint member are connected to each other in a rotationally fixed manner, and
a connecting hub which is rigidly connected to the first outer joint member and has connecting means for connecting the connecting hub to a shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, a housing in which the connecting hub is accommodated and rotatably mounted, and a generator accommodated in the housing, said generator has a stator rigidly connected to the housing and arranged coaxially to the connecting hub, and said generator further has a rotor rotatably mounted relative to the housing, wherein the rotor is drivingly connected to the connecting hub via a transmission.
Abstract:
An implement coupler for a work vehicle includes a support frame having a drive opening and an array of electric machine mounts arranged about the drive opening. A gearbox is mounted on the support frame and has a gearbox shaft extending through the drive opening. At least one drive pulley is coupled to the gearbox for rotation. At least one endless member is disposed about the drive pulley for rotation therewith. A first electric machine is mounted on the support frame at a first of the electric machine mounts and having a first input pulley coupled to the drive pulley by the at least one endless member.
Abstract:
A coupling mechanism controls the location of the central primary draft load transmitting fixed-length link independently of the coupler. The coupling mechanism allows for translation in at least three orthogonal directions and for rotation of two distinct planes between coupled components, thereby providing a means for lateral shifting and articulation. The coupling mechanism mitigates unexpected rotation by restricting rotation along a longitudinal axis of the fixed-length link. Rotation of the coupling mechanism is furthermore controlled by means of a indexing turntable. The orientation and the position of the coupling mechanism is therefore determinant and predictable.
Abstract:
A method for controlling power takeoff (PTO) clutch engagement includes determining an output clutch speed, adjusting a clutch current at a predetermined rate, estimating an inertial load of a PTO implement and adjusting the clutch current for one or more times at a time interval, and selecting a clutch control algorithm configured for the inertial load of the PTO implement.
Abstract:
The invention is based on a vehicle device having a drive unit, a gear unit which is at least substantially securely connected to the drive unit and which comprises an output shaft to drive an application tool which can be orientated relative to the gear unit, and a force-transmitting unit between the gear unit and the application tool. In order to provide a generic vehicle device having an advantageously long service-life, it is proposed that the force-transmitting unit have at least one first drive wheel which is connected to the output shaft in an at least substantially rotationally secure manner in at least one operating state and which has a rotation axis which is orientated at least substantially perpendicularly relative to a forward direction.
Abstract:
A drawbar hitch mechanism has a fore-and-aft extending receiver, a gearbox assembly coupled to the receiver and a tongue assembly attached to the gearbox assembly. A first pivot mechanism couples the receiver with the gearbox assembly for side-to-side movement about a longitudinal axis of the receiver. A draft arm is configured to disperse draft loads between the tongue assembly and the receiver. A second pivot mechanism couples the gearbox assembly and the draft arm. The second pivot mechanism is oriented such that it pivots about an upright axis such that the gearbox assembly and second pivot mechanism enable pivoting movement of the tongue assembly relative the receiver.
Abstract:
A power take off coupling for connecting an engine (20, 21) to a site accessory (16, 14, 17), comprises a resilient power transmission component (3) within the coupling; a latching device (8, 46, 9) to mechanically latch the accessory to the engine (20, 21), with a manually operable release handle (13) to effect unlatching. A power output shaft of the engine (20, 21) carries one half (5) of a dog clutch with the other half (7) carried by the accessory (16, 14, 17). An alignment arrangement comprises a first annulus ring (18) attached coaxially to an output shaft assembly of the engine (20, 21), and a second annulus ring (19) attached coaxially to an input shaft assembly of the accessory, with the two rings (18, 19) being of different diameters, such that one ring is adapted to be engaged coaxially within the other ring with close tolerances, such that the external periphery of the smaller ring (18) engages at least parts of the internal periphery of the larger ring (19) to provide for accurate coaxial alignment of the power output shaft of the engine (20, 21) and the power input shaft of the accessory.
Abstract:
An implement (1) comprises a number of work devices (2A,2B,2C) for performing work therewith in an operative position. The work devices comprise an input drive shaft (4) which sets the work devices into operation. At least one work device (2B) of the work devices comprises an output shaft (3B) coupled to the input drive shaft (4A) of the work device and the input drive shaft (4C) of a subsequent work device (2C). The mutual coupling of the input and output shafts of the work devices together forms an efficient single drive line with which the work devices can be driven simultaneously without a separate drive branch being required per work device.
Abstract:
A system for the mutual adjustment of two drive shafts connected by means of a cardanic shaft is described, the first shaft being actuated by a machine by means of a power take-off being connected to a cardanic shaft, said cardanic shaft being connected to a second shaft being a power take-off of a mitre gear box of a crusher/tiller, the mitre gear box actuating at least one machine tool. According to the invention the mitre gear box is connected to the chassis of the crusher/tiller by means of two small arms in order to allow both a rotation about one axis and a transverse movement controlled by a tilting and rotation sensor.
