Patent number: 11204254Abstract: An implement guidance display system may be deployed onboard a work vehicle including an operator station and chassis. The implement guidance display system includes a display device within the operator station of the work vehicle, implement data sources configured to provide implement tracking data pertaining to work the implement when mounted to the chassis, and a controller in signal communication with the display device and with the implement data sources. The controller is configured to: (i) receive the implement tracking data from the implement data sources; (ii) establish a projected trajectory of the work implement utilizing the implement tracking data; and (iii) generate, on the display device, implement trajectory symbology indicative of the projected trajectory of the work implement.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2019Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: DEERE & COMPANYInventors: Juan Daniel Gonzalez, Ignacio Alonso Martinez

Patent number: 11174617Abstract: Carrier vehicles—such as, for example, front loaders—are configured to operated with one or more interchangeable implements that are selectively coupled to the carrier vehicle by driving the carrier vehicle towards a desired implement and aligning the implement attachment points with corresponding attachment points on an implement mount that is attached to the carrier vehicle. In some cases, the operator's view of the various attachment points (catch hook and support pins, rods, lines) of the implement and the implement mount is blocked by the front loader arms (booms) or other components of the carrier vehicle. Systems and methods are presented herein for aligning the carrier vehicle with the implement using marks/indicators that are visible by the operator of the carrier vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2019Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: DEERE & COMPANYInventors: Ignacio Alonso Martinez, Claire Rogge

Patent number: 10458096Abstract: Front loaders typically have interchangeable implements that require an operator to drive toward a desired implement and to attempt to align the implement attachment points with the attachment points on an implement mount that is attached to the loader. This is made more difficult because the operator's view of the various attachment points (catch hook and support pins, rods, links) of the implement and the implement mount is often blocked by the front loader arms (booms) or other front loader components, thus, aligning the implement and the implement can be very difficult. The present disclosure provides for a system and method to simplify the above-described implement alignment processes.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2015Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: DEERE & COMPANYInventors: Ignacio Alonso Martinez, Claire Rogge

Patent number: 10407879Abstract: A remote angular position display system and method are disclosed. The angular position of a work implement of a work vehicle is displayed (e.g., textually, numerically or graphically) on a display associated with a portable device. The angular position is observed by a sensor coupled to the work implement or the work vehicle. The method includes receiving, by a processor of the portable device, one or more signals from the sensor indicative of an angular position value, and determining, by the processor, a condition associated with the work implement based on the angular position. The method includes outputting, by the processor, an interface for rendering on the display associated with the portable device that indicates the angular position and the determined condition associated with the work implement of the work vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2017Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: DEERE & COMPANYInventors: Juan Daniel Gonzalez, Ignacio Alonso Martinez

Patent number: 9816248Abstract: A rollback control system and method are disclosed for a loader having a bucket movable between first and second positions by one or more hydraulic cylinders of a hydraulic circuit. The rollback control system includes a source of vehicle conditions data that indicates one or more observable conditions associated with the work vehicle. The rollback control system includes at least one controller that receives and processes the vehicle conditions data to determine a position of the bucket relative to a material. The at least one controller outputs one or more control signals to direct flow of hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic cylinders to move the bucket to the second position based on the determined position of the bucket.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2015Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventor: Ignacio Alonso Martinez

Patent number: 9714499Abstract: A loader includes a tool carrier arranged on a loader boom. The tool carrier is connected at a first pivot point to the loader boom and at a second pivot point to a pivot linkage. The pivot linkage has first and second links which are pivotably connected to one another at a first link point. The first link is pivotably connected at a second link point to the loader boom, and the second link is pivotably connected at a second link point at the second pivot point to the tool carrier. A sensor senses a pivot angle between the tool carrier and loader boom. The sensor is positioned in a cavity on the loader. An actuating device is connected to the sensor.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2015Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Damien Faivre, Ignacio Alonso Martinez, Andreas Wehle

Patent number: 9650754Abstract: A parking stand for a detachable front loader assembly including a support leg pivoted to a boom, which is able to pivot between an extended and a retracted position. A set of parallel struts engage a locking plate, which is attached to the support leg. Being engaged within locking mechanism divots, the support leg is secured within an optimally extended position. Extending the parking stand support leg into a parking configuration is achieved by way of a series of semi-automated actions that are triggered and propelled by way of hydraulic movement of a loader's boom and bucket. Such semi-automated actions include unlocking, extending, and securing the support leg. Retraction of the support leg is similarly executed.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2015Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Ignacio Alonso Martinez, Jose Rene Liñan, Damien Faivre
