APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MEASURING AND CONTROLLING THE ANGLE OF A SNOW PLOW BLADE

摘要

A plow blade assembly (24) and a position adjustment system includes a plow blade (26) mounted to a frame (14) of a vehicle (10), and an actuator (52) for adjusting the position of the plow blade relative to the frame of the vehicle. The actuator (52) includes a blade position sensor (34) for sensing an actual position of the plow blade (26) and inputting the actual blade position to a computer (44), and a user input receiver (50) for the user to input a desired position of the plow blade to the computer. The computer (44) compares the actual position to the desired position and causes the actuator (52) to move the plow blade (26) to the desired position without user intervention.
