  • Publication number: 20240341227
    Abstract: One or more sensors can capture images of at least a portion of crop residue, which can be shown in real time on a display. Information captured by the sensors can be used to determine crop residue parameter information. The crop residue information can pertain to either or both the processing of crop residue by, or the distribution of crop residue from, the agricultural machine. Virtual representations of the crop residue parameter information can overlay at least a portion of, or otherwise be presented in connection with, the captured image shown on the display. The virtual representation can have an appearance that can visually convey the crop residue parameter information to an operator. Such visual representations can include the use of parameter identifiers, graphical shapes, or text, as well as combinations thereof. The virtual representation of the crop residue parameter information can also provide an indication as to whether the crop residue parameter information satisfies a predetermined threshold.

    Abstract: A crop debris routing assembly for an agricultural machine includes a chopper rotor and opposing knives. The chopper rotor is configured to rotate about a chopper axis and includes chopper knives extending away from the chopper axis. The opposing knives extend toward the chopper rotor and are spaced from the chopper knives. The crop debris routing assembly includes at least one load cell operatively coupled to a controller. The at least one load cell measures a force applied to the opposing knives as harvested crop passes through the crop debris routing assembly. The controller receives a signal from the at least one load cell indicative of the measured force applied to the opposing knives and determines an amount of power required by the chopper rotor based on the measured force applied to the opposing knives and a rotational speed of the chopper rotor.

  • Patent number: 11686389
    Abstract: A rotary seal assembly has a first and second machine element spaced apart forming a sealing gap. The first machine element has a seal-holding structure and the second machine element a sealing surface. A rotary seal is held on the seal-holding structure of the first machine element which has a sealing lip, the front side of which faces the sealing surface and at least partially abuts the sealing surface of the second machine element, pretensioned in a dynamically sealing manner. The sealing lip has pockets on its rear side or on its end face facing the high pressure side. The sealing lip on its rear side, in the case of rearwardly arranged pockets, is tensioned against the sealing surface by an elastically deformable pretensioning ring, and is tensioned in the case of the front side pockets by an elastic resilience inherent in the material of the rotary seal.
