Method for controlling an unload operation on a mobile farm implement

摘要

A method of automating unloading for a mobile farm implement is presented. The method includes determining whether the speed of the mobile farm implement is below a first threshold. In response to a determination that the speed of the mobile farm implement is below the first threshold, a conveyor is moved to an operating position, where it is used to unload agricultural material from the mobile farm implement. Upon termination of the unloading of the agricultural material, the controller folds the conveyor to a storage or transport position.

主权项

1. A mobile farm implement comprising:
a container for carrying an agricultural material; a conveyor for unloading the agricultural material from the container, the conveyor being movable between operating and stored positions; a positioning device coupled with the conveyor to move the conveyor between operating and stored positions; a first sensor for sensing a speed condition of the farm implement and providing information indicative of the speed condition of the farm implement; a controller in communication with the positioning device and the first sensor and configured to determine whether the speed condition of the mobile farm implement exceeds a first threshold; and wherein the controller is further configured to lock the conveyor in a position when the speed condition of the mobile farm implement exceeds the first threshold.
