ANTI-BOUNCE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A MACHINE

摘要

A system for automated control of a motor grader includes a first sensor to indicate bounce of the motor grader and a speed sensor to indicate the ground speed. A controller determines a maximum amplitude of the bounce of the motor grader and controls the ground speed of the motor grader at least in part based upon the maximum amplitude of the bounce. A method is also provided.

1. A system for automated control of movement of a motor grader, the motor grader including a prime mover and a ground engaging blade, comprising:
a first sensor disposed on the motor grader configured to provide a bounce signal indicative of a measured bounce of the motor grader; a speed sensor disposed on the motor grader configured to provide a speed signal indicative of a ground speed of the motor grader; and a controller configured to:
receive the bounce signal from the first sensor;determine a maximum amplitude of the measured bounce of the motor grader based upon the bounce signal; andgenerate a command signal to apply a brake at least in part based upon the maximum amplitude of the measured bounce, the brake reducing the ground speed of the motor grader.
