METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING THE MASS OF A LOAD IN A TIPPER BODY

摘要

There is disclosed a method of determining the mass of a load in a tipper body of a tipper, the tipper comprising a tipper body pivotably moveable with respect to a frame with a hydraulic cylinder disposed therebetween and actuatable to pivot the tipper body. The method comprises receiving at least one pressure parameter relating to the hydraulic pressure within the hydraulic cylinder at an angular position of the tipper body and at least one angular positional parameter relating to the angular position of the tipper body at the said angular position; and determining a mass parameter relating to the mass of a load in the tipper body based on at least the at least one pressure parameter and the at least one angular positional parameter
