发明名称 A CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLING A WORK IMPLEMENT OF AN EARTHMOVING MACHINE TO CAPTURE, LIFT AND DUMP MATERIAL
摘要 A control system for automatically controlling a work implement of an earthmoving machine, the work implement including a bucket, to capture, lift and dump material, the bucket being controllably actuated by a hydraulic tilt cylinder and lift cylinder. The control system includes a weight sensing mechanism for sensing weight of the material in the bucket and a logic mechanism for receiving the weight signals for the material in the bucket from the weight sensing mechanism and then determining a total summed weight of the material for a total number of capture, lift, and dump cycles needed to capture, lift and dump a predetermined weight of the material with the bucket and then generating various command signals based on the weight signal from each capture, lift and dump cycle and the total summed weight for the total number of capture, lift and dump cycles. In addition, there is a hydraulic implement controller for controlling hydraulic fluid flow to the hydraulic tilt cylinder and the hydraulic lift cylinder in response to the command signals thereby controllably actuating the bucket of the earthmoving machine in order to capture, lift and dump material.
