Apparatus and method for automatic adjustment of a transfer device on an agricultural harvesting machine

摘要

An apparatus for automatic adjustment of a transfer device on an agricultural harvesting machine includes at least one sensor for determining the current position of the transfer device; means for adjustment of the transfer device; at least one navigation device located in the harvesting machine for determination of a first and at least a second navigated position of the harvesting machine in a field; and an electronic analyzer wherein the electronic analyzer automatically adjusts the transfer device through the means for adjustment as a function of the current position of the transfer device and the first and second navigated positions of the harvesting machine. A related method for automatic adjustment of a transfer device on an agricultural harvesting machine includes the steps of determining the current position of the transfer device with at least one sensor; determining a first and at least a second navigated position of the harvesting machine with a first navigation device; generating at least one adjusting parameter for the transfer device as a function of the current position of the transfer device and the first and second navigated positions of the harvesting machine with an electronic analyzer having a memory device; and automatically adjusting the transfer device with means for adjustment based on the adjustment parameter generated by the electronic analyzer.
