Patent number: 11937525Abstract: A combination of a tractive machine and plow, has a driver assistance system having an input/output unit. The plow is adjustable with machine parameters, wherein a portion is manually adjustable and/or automatically adjustable by means of the tractive machine. A plow adjust assistant determines in a dialog with an operator in a plurality of dialog steps, optimized machine parameters of the plow and/or of the tractive machine that are to be adjusted. The plow adjust assistant automatically adjusts a portion of the machine parameters determined in the first dialog step and/or gives the operator a portion for adjusting and determines further optimized machine parameters of the plow based on these machine parameters and gives these further optimized machine parameters of the plow to the operator for adjustment of the plow in a second dialog step and/or automatically adjusts them at the plow.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: CLAAS Tractor SASInventors: Christian Ehlert, Jan Carsten Wieckhorst, Jona Pieper, Christian Birkmann, Jens Heydekorn

Publication number: 20230047061Abstract: A method and system for regulating a rear power lift of an agricultural production machine in an agricultural combination is disclosed. The agricultural combination includes an agricultural production machine and an agricultural attachment. The agricultural attachment is connected to the agricultural production machine via a rear power lift of the agricultural production machine. The agricultural production machine includes a driver assistance system that regulates machine parameters of the rear power lift using position regulation and/or traction regulation on which a slip control is superimposed. The driver assistance system determines a target slip for slip regulation optimized for position regulation and/or traction regulation depending on at least one existing soil property and at least one existing tire property, and regulates the rear power lift to the optimized target slip.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Applicant: CLAAS Tractor SASInventors: Christian Birkmann, Christian Schaub, Jona Pieper

Publication number: 20230047045Abstract: A method and system for determining working heights independent of the type of coupling of a plurality of agricultural attachments using a sensor assembly is disclosed. The sensor assembly includes at least one sensor for recording measured data and a control assembly. The attachments may be coupled to an agricultural production machine by an equipment interface using different types of coupling. The attachments are temporarily coupled to the agricultural production machine using the different types of coupling. The control assembly determines the working heights independent of the type of coupling of the differently coupled attachments when in a coupled state by using the same sensor. The control assembly displays the working heights determined independent of the type of coupling by means of the agricultural production machine, and/or uses them to control and/or regulate the agricultural production machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Applicant: CLAAS Tractor SASInventors: Jan Carsten Wieckhorst, Christian Ehlert, Christian Birkmann, Jona Pieper, Christian Schaub

Publication number: 20230045992Abstract: A method and system for measuring a working height, such as an absolute working height, of a plurality of agricultural attachments using a sensor assembly is disclosed. The sensor assembly includes a sensor and at least one sensor holder. The sensor holder is mounted at mounting positions onto different attachments, with the sensor being reversibly mounted in the sensor holder at the mounting position. The sensor, in a mounted state, records measured data relating to a working height of the agricultural attachment and transmits the measured data to the control assembly. In turn, the control assembly determines the working height of the particular attachment from a calibration data set specific to the mounting position.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Applicant: CLAAS Tractor SASInventors: Jan Carsten Wieckhorst, Christian Birkmann, Christian Schaub, Jona Pieper, Lennart Meyer

Publication number: 20230051714Abstract: A system and method for controlling, such as pre-optimizing, agricultural work processes for agricultural combinations is disclosed. Agricultural combinations include an agricultural production machine and different agricultural attachments. A sensor assembly determines an absolute working height of the agricultural attachments using a sensor measuring data regarding the absolute working height. The agricultural combination includes a combination control assembly that controls and/or regulates machine parameters of the particular agricultural combination based on an optimization data set and the measured data obtained during the working process. An optimization control assembly determines the optimization data set from competing optimization goals, optimization data both apart from and relating to the combination.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Applicant: CLAAS Tractor SASInventors: Christian Birkmann, Jan Carsten Wieckhorst, Jona Pieper, Christian Schaub, Christian Ehlert, Lennart Meyer

Publication number: 20210046917Abstract: An agricultural prime mover, such as a tractor, may be used to execute an agricultural work process. The agricultural prime mover includes work assemblies that can be adjusted with machine parameters, and can be coupled to an attachment for processing a field. The agricultural prime mover includes a control and regulation module that optimizes the work assemblies by ascertaining machine parameters for the work assemblies using optimization data with respect to at least one objective. The control and regulation module executes a multi-step optimization strategy, including a first step “at the farm” directed to optimizing a basic configuration of the agricultural prime mover, a second step “at the field” directed to optimizing an attachment-specific configuration of the agricultural prime mover, and a third step “in the field” directed to optimizing the adaptation of the basic configuration and the attachment-specific configuration while processing the field.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2020Publication date: February 18, 2021Applicant: CLAAS Tractor SASInventors: Christian Ehlert, Jan Carsten Wieckhorst, Christian Birkmann, Jona Pieper
