  • Patent number: 12239042
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method, performed by a control device (100), for detecting abnormal product flow in an agricultural implement (1) comprising a feed system (10) for an agricultural product (5). The feed system (10) comprises: a first flow path (12); an air flow generating unit (14) arranged in fluid communication with the first flow path (12); a primary metering device (16) arranged to provide the agricultural product (5) to the air flow in the first flow path (12); and at least one distribution unit (20). The at least one distribution unit (20) comprises at least two outlets (22), each connected to a separate duct (24) for conveying the agricultural product (5) to the ground. The feed system (10) comprises sensor units (30) arranged in at least two ducts (24).

  • Patent number: 12061098
    Abstract: In accordance with one or more embodiments herein, an agricultural machine (100) comprising sensors is provided. The agricultural machine (100) comprises a number of sensor programming devices (110), each comprising a unique set of sensor programming instructions, and is arranged to comprise one single corresponding sensor device (120) for each of the sensor programming devices (110). Each sensor programming device (110) is mounted in a programming position (115) adjacent a sensor position (125) for the corresponding sensor device (120), and each sensor device (120) is arranged to be mounted in the sensor position (125) and automatically receive the sensor programming instructions from the corresponding sensor programming device (110). This ensures that if a sensor device (120) is moved from one sensor position (125) to another sensor position (125), it automatically receives a different set of programming instructions.

  • Patent number: 9693499
    Abstract: A sealing gasket made of a resilient rubber material or rubber-like material. The sealing gasket is formed as a rotationally symmetric body with a substantially constant cross-sectional profile. The cross-sectional profile includes: a first sealing part located furthest away from a center of rotation of the body and a second sealing part located radially inside the first sealing part, as viewed in the radial direction. An open space is defined by the first and second sealing parts. The second sealing part essentially curves through an angle away from the center of rotation. A seed housing can include such a seal and a seeder can include such a seed housing.

  • Patent number: 9474202
    Abstract: A device for feeding granular material, such as seed, fertilizer or pesticide is described herein. The device includes at least two metering devices (109), a first drive device (101) for generating a pressurizing airflow (FT) for pressurization of the metering devices (109), and a central container (102), which is arranged to, via respective feed ducts (103), with the aid of a respective feed airflow (FI), feed the material to the respective metering device (109). The device also includes a second drive device (201, 201a, 201b) for generating the feed airflow (FI) and a merging connection (118, 118?) for merging at least a part (FL) of the feed airflow (FI) with the pressurizing airflow (FT).

  • Patent number: 9301439
    Abstract: An agricultural implement, for working soil across which the agricultural implement travels or is towed, includes a frame, a first depth maintaining unit, including a first hydraulic actuator for adjusting height of the first depth maintaining unit relative to the frame, a second depth maintaining unit, including a second hydraulic actuator for adjusting height of the second depth maintaining unit relative to the frame, at least one soil working tool, and a hydraulic system including the hydraulic actuators configured to be connected to a mechanism supplying hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic system. A first side of the first hydraulic actuator communicates with a first side of the second hydraulic actuator and a measuring mechanism configured to provide a measured value corresponding to a first amount of hydraulic fluid occurring on said first sides.
