    摘要: A baler system includes a baler controller includes a processor operable to execute a bale ejection algorithm to receive a command input to initiate a last bale ejection sequence. Upon receiving the command input, the baler controller automatically engages a knotter system to wrap and bind crop material currently disposed within a baling chamber to form a final bale. Upon forming the final bale, the baler controller automatically determines if a discharge location disposed proximate a discharge end of the baling chamber is clear of obstructions. Upon determining that the discharge end of the baling chamber is clear of obstructions, the baler controller automatically engages a bale ejection system to eject the final bale from the baling chamber and onto the discharge location.

    摘要: A baler implement includes a first plate defining a first aperture for receiving a twine from a supply of the twine. A second plate defines a second aperture for discharging the twine to a knotter system. An elongated tube includes a first end defining a first opening, a second end defining a second opening, and defines an elongated interior passage extending between the first end and the second end. The first end of the elongated tube is positioned to align the first opening of the elongated tube with the first aperture of the first plate. The second end of the elongated tube is positioned to align the second opening of the elongated tube with the second aperture of the second plate. The elongated tube is shaped to guide the twine through the elongated interior passage thereof between the first aperture and the second aperture.

    摘要: A torque smoothing apparatus is utilized in conjunction with a large square baler (LSB), which includes a bale chamber, a plunger mounted for reciprocation within the bale chamber, and an LSB drive line. In embodiments, the torque smoothing apparatus includes a planetary gear train and a flywheel, which is mechanically coupled to the LSB drive line through the planetary gear train. An auxiliary motor having a motor output is mechanically coupled to the LSB drive line through the planetary gear train, while a controller is operably coupled to the auxiliary motor. The controller commands the auxiliary motor to selectively apply torque to the LSB drive line such that the torque applied by the auxiliary motor, taken in combination with a torque contribution of the flywheel, reduces variations in torque demands placed on a vehicle engine as the plunger reciprocates during LSB bale formation.

    摘要: A baling press with a bale pressing channel, a ram for pressing material in the bale pressing channel, the ram having a pressing face and a slot in the pressing face, a tying assembly on a first side of the bale pressing channel with a loop supply member for forming a loop across the bale pressing channel and movable between an extended position projecting through the slot and a retracted position. The press further has a slot clearing member movable between an extended position projecting through the slot and a retracted position on one side of said bale pressing channel. The slot clearing member and the tying assembly are on opposite sides of a feeding passage. The bale pressing channel is open for discharging cleared material on a side opposite of the location of the slot clearing member in its retracted position. A method of operation is also described.

    摘要: A knotter system for performing a first knot forming cycle and a second knot forming cycle. The knotter system includes a needle for delivering a needle twine, a tucker arm for delivering a tucker twine, a twine receiver for holding the needle twine and the tucker twine, a billhook, a cutting arm, a twine finger for guiding at least the needle twine. The system further includes a drive to make the billhook perform first and second full rotations during the first and second knot forming cycles, respectively, and to move the twine finger at least a first time during the first knot forming cycle and a second time during the second knot forming cycle. The twine finger is configured such that during the second knot forming cycle the needle twine is moved away from the tucker twine in order to drape it adjacent to the tucker twine on the billhook.
