Harvesting machine with a measuring device for capturing the throughput of collected and/or processed crops

摘要

A harvesting machine includes a measuring device for capturing the throughput of collected and/or processed crops. The measuring device having a measuring surface which acts together with the crop material and is supported movably at a support point in such a manner that its position depends on the throughput of the crop material, and an optical position capturing device for capturing the position of the measuring surface. Preferably the support is a solid body articulation (42) and the position capturing device is a laser interferometer.
