20100286861 | Agricultural Harvester With Dual Engines And Power Sharing Based On Engine Temperature - An agricultural harvester includes a first power unit and a second power unit. The first power unit is couplable with a first primary load, including a threshing system load. A first temperature sensor associated with the first power unit provides a first output signal. A second temperature sensor associated with the second power unit provides a second output signal. A first motor/generator is mechanically coupled with the first power unit, and a second motor/generator is mechanically coupled with the second power unit. The second motor/generator and the first motor/generator are electrically coupled together. At least one electrical processing circuit is Occupied with the first temperature sensor, second temperature sensor, first motor/generator and second motor/generator. The at least one electrical processing circuit is configured for selective bidirectional transfer of electrical power between the first motor/generator and the second motor/generator, dependent on the first output signal and the second output signal. | 11-11-2010 |
20100287899 | Unload Rate Control For An Unloading System In An Agricultural Harvester - An agricultural harvester includes a support frame and a hopper coupled to the support frame. The hopper is configured to store an agricultural product during a harvesting operation. An unloading system is coupled to the support frame. The unloading system is configured to transport agricultural product received from the hopper to an off-machine location. The unloading system includes a metering gate, a transfer conveyance, at least one sensor, and an electrical processing circuit. The metering gate is positioned near a bottom of the hopper and in communication with an interior of the hopper. The transfer conveyance has an inlet end and a discharge end. The inlet end is in communication with the metering gate. The at least one sensor provides an output signal representing an operating parameter associated with an unload rate of agricultural product through the transfer conveyance during an unloading operation. The electrical processing circuit is coupled to the metering gate and the at least one sensor. The electrical processing circuit controls a position of the metering gate, dependent upon the output signal. | 11-18-2010 |
20100289327 | Generation And Starting System - An agricultural vehicle including plurality of engines, a plurality of mechanical loads, a plurality of electrical generators, a plurality of electrical loads, at least one load sensor, and a controller. The plurality of engines includes a first engine and a second engine. The plurality of mechanical loads includes a first mechanical load and a second mechanical load. The first mechanical load is coupled to the first engine and a second mechanical load is coupled to the second engine. The plurality of electrical generators includes a first generator and a second generator. The first generator is coupled to the first engine and the second generator is coupled to the second engine. The plurality of electrical loads can be separately coupled to the first generator or the second generator. The at least one load sensor is configured to produce a signal representative of the first mechanical load on the first engine, the second mechanical load on the second engine, a sum of electrical loads on the first generator, and/or a sum of electrical loads on the second generator. The controller is configured to shift at least one of the plurality of electrical loads between the first generator and the second generator dependent upon the signal. | 11-18-2010 |
20110083411 | Unloading Conveyor Suspension System - A suspension system for an unloading conveyor of an agricultural harvester vehicle, has a first support configured to hold the unloading conveyor in a vertical unloading position; a second support configured to hold the unloading conveyor in a horizontal unloading position; a control circuit coupled to the first and second supports, wherein the control circuit is configured to selectively engage at least one gas charged hydraulic accumulator to one of the first support and the second support to thereby spring-load the unloading conveyor in the vertical or the horizontal direction (or both). | 04-14-2011 |
