CALIBRATING A COLD PLANER CONVEYOR SCALE SYSTEM

摘要

A system for calibrating a force transducer that measures a magnitude of a force acting on a conveyor of a cold planer is disclosed. The system may receive, from the force transducer, a first signal indicative of the magnitude of the force acting on the conveyor of the cold planer. The system may compare the first signal and a second signal associated with calibrating the force transducer. The system may output a third signal, indicative of a relationship between the first signal and the second signal, based on comparing the first signal and the second signal.

主权项

1. A cold planer, comprising:
a frame; at least one traction device configured to support the frame; an engine supported by the frame and configured to drive the at least one traction device to propel the cold planer; a milling drum; a first conveyor comprising a first charge end, configured to receive material removed by the milling drum, and a first discharge end; a second conveyor comprising a second charge end, configured to receive material from the first discharge end of the first conveyor, and a second discharge end; a force transducer configured to generate a force signal indicative of a magnitude of a force acting on at least a portion of the second conveyor; and a controller, in communication with the force transducer, configured to:
compare the force signal and a set point signal indicative of a set point associated with calibrating the force transducer; andoutput a calibration signal based on comparing the force signal and the set point signal.
