Control module for milling rotor |
摘要 |
A control module for a milling rotor of a machine is provided. The control module comprises a processor and a controller. The processor is configured to receive a first signal, indicative of a direction of motion of the machine, a second signal, indicative of a relative height of a pair of side plates with respect to the milling rotor, and a third signal, indicative of a relative height of a moldboard with respect to the milling rotor. The processor processes the first signal, the second signal, and the third signal to generate a control signal. The controller is configured to receive the control signal from the processor and selectively disengage the milling rotor of the machine based on the control signal. |

1. A machine comprising:
a power source; a milling rotor operatively connected to the power source, wherein the milling rotor includes a pair of end faces disposed along a longitudinal axis of the milling rotor; a pair of side plates disposed at each of the end faces of the milling rotor; a moldboard disposed substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the milling rotor; a detector configured to detect a direction of motion of the machine and generate a first signal; a first sensor configured to determine a relative height of the pair of side plates with respect to the milling rotor and generate a second signal; a second sensor configured to determine a relative height of the moldboard with respect to the milling rotor and generate a third signal; and a control module including:
a processor configured to receive the first signal, the second signal and the third signal, wherein the processor processes the first, second and third signals to generate a control signal; anda controller configured to receive the control signal from the processor and selectively disengage the milling rotor based on the control signal. |
