System for controlling wing tool bars of an agricultural implement having an angle sensor

摘要

System for controlling wing tool bars of an agricultural implement are provided. One implement includes a tool bar assembly having a central tool bar and a first wing tool bar rotatably coupled to an end of the central tool bar. The implement also includes a first actuator coupled to the first wing tool bar and to the central tool bar, and configured to raise and lower the first wing tool bar. The implement includes a solenoid controlled valve fluidly coupled to the first actuator. The implement also includes a switch electrically coupled to the valve. The switch measures an angle of the first wing tool bar relative to the central tool bar and is configured to transition the valve between a first and a second position based on an angle of the first wing tool bar relative to the central tool bar.

1. An agricultural implement, comprising:
a tool bar assembly comprising a central tool bar and a first wing tool bar rotatably coupled to a first end of the central tool bar; a first actuator coupled to the first wing tool bar and to the central tool bar, and configured to raise and lower the first wing tool bar relative to the central tool bar; a solenoid controlled valve fluidly coupled to the first actuator, wherein the solenoid controlled valve comprises a first position configured to enable fluid flow to the first actuator to raise the first wing tool bar relative to the central tool bar, and a second position configured to block fluid flow to the first actuator; and a switch electrically coupled to the solenoid controlled valve, wherein the switch is configured to measure an angle of the first wing tool bar relative to the central tool bar and to instruct the solenoid controlled valve to transition between the first and second positions based on the angle of the first wing tool bar relative to the central tool bar.
