  • Patent number: 12396396
    Abstract: An upstanding clamping longitudinal conveyor system for whole-stem reed harvesting includes a conveyor device, a height adjustment mechanism, and a control unit. A preharvest detection unit is configured to detect height information of reeds in a preharvest region, and transmit the height information to the control unit. A position sensor is configured to detect a current height of the conveyor device, and transmit the current height to the control unit. A lifting device is connected to the conveyor device; and the control unit is configured to calculate an average height of the reeds in the preharvest region and a height of center of gravity of the reeds, calculate a height difference between the height of the center of gravity of the reeds and the current height of the conveyor device, and adjust a position of the conveyor device to correspond to the center of gravity of the reeds in the preharvest region.
