  • Patent number: 7640092
    Abstract: A data generation and transmission system in agricultural working machines for exchanging data between mobile working units and/or stationary working units, and actuators includes data generation and transmission elements assignable to at least a portion of the working units, at least a portion of the data generation and transmission elements enabling wireless exchange of data, and an energy required for dealing with generating the data and/or transmitting the data, is associated with the data generation and transmission system so as to produce the data in the data generation and transmission system and/or transmit the data by the data generation and transmission system.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6826894
    Abstract: A position control for a crop pickup device which is mounted for vertical movement relative to an agricultural harvester. A measuring device is provided for determining the distance from the crop pickup device to the ground, wherein the position of the crop pickup device relative to the ground is adjustable by one control device as a function of the measured ground distance. The distance to the ground is determined by the measuring device at two points spaced from each other in the direction of travel. As a result, advantageously the inclination of the ground can be determined and used for optimized control of ground simulation of the crop pickup device. Additionally, the cutting angle can be adapted automatically to the slope of the ground, to avoid crop losses and impede damage to the grain header.
