Patent number: 10820507Abstract: A harvesting vehicle including a cleaning section including a blower and at least one sieve. The sieve is configured to transport a layer comprising a mixture of grain kernels and residue material towards an exit edge of the sieve so that kernels fall through openings of the sieve and the residue remains on the sieve until it is ejected from the sieve by crossing the exit edge. The sieve may be subject to a grain loss, including a sieve-off loss and a blowout loss. The cleaning section further includes a sensor configured to determine whether the blowout loss or the sieve-off loss is a highest contributor to the grain loss. The cleaning section may also include a grain loss detector configured to measure the sieve-off loss and at least a portion of the blowout loss and a blowout sensor mounted above the sieve for measuring the blowout loss.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2019Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Glenn Aesaert, Dré W.

Publication number: 20190150361Abstract: The present invention is in particular related to an agricultural harvesting vehicle, such as a combine harvester for gathering crops from a field and processing the crops in order to separate grain kernels from residue material such as stalks and leaves. The harvesting vehicle of the invention is provided with a cleaning section comprising a blower (10) and at least one sieve (3, 5), usually a set of an upper and lower sieve. The sieves (3, 5) are configured to transport a layer comprising a mixture of grain kernels and residue material towards an exit edge (16) of the sieve so that kernels fall through the sieve's openings and residue remains on the sieve until it is ejected from the sieve by crossing the exit edge (16).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2019Publication date: May 23, 2019Inventors: Glenn Aesaert, Dré W.J.
