Publication number: 20230286383Abstract: An agricultural work machine and a method for operation an agricultural work machine are disclosed. The agricultural work machine includes a driver’s cab with an interior space spatially partially delimited by a front window and at least one side window, a driver’s seat arranged in the interior space, an input device for entering input by an operator, a visualization system for visualizing information for an operator sitting on the driver’s seat, and a control device which is communication with the visualization system. The control device controls the visualization system in such a way that process information relevant to the selected work process is visualized.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Applicant: CLAAS Selbstfahrende Erntemaschinen GmbHInventors: Waldemar Thiesmann, Klaus Albers, Robert Beck, Stefan Galland, Jan Geiger, Ingo Kirchbeck, Michael Losch, Michael Piontek, Peter Juerschik, Dennis Neitemeier, Eckehard Jeppe, Reinhard Frenser, Joachim Baumgarten, Bastian Bormann, Andreas Wilken, Maik Heufekes, Matthias Domnik, Marvin Barther, Johann Witte, Maximilian Schröder

Patent number: 11470776Abstract: An agricultural work machine, in particular a harvester, has a header for performing agricultural work and having a control device which has at least one sensor unit for detecting a crop stream in and/or around the header and an image processing unit for processing images which are generated by the sensor unit based on the crop stream detected via sensor. The control device is configured to detect regions of like characteristics, components of the header and properties of the crop stream and is configured to use that which has been detected for open loop control and/or closed loop control of process sequences in the agricultural work machine.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2019Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: CLAAS Selbstfahrende Erntemaschinen GmbHInventors: Marvin Barther, Dennis Neitemeier, Frédéric Fischer, Boris Kettelhoit

Patent number: 11464166Abstract: An agricultural harvesting machine, particularly a combine harvester or a forage harvester, has a supporting frame, a cutting mechanism, an inclined conveyor and a driver's cab. The cutting mechanism is arranged at the supporting frame by the inclined conveyor. The driver's cab is arranged at the supporting frame with the intermediary of at least one damper unit. At least one camera is arranged in an interior of the driver's cab. The camera is oriented to the cutting mechanism and/or to the inclined conveyor through a front windshield of the driver's cab. The camera is arranged in an operative area of a cleaning device of the front windshield so that a detection area of the camera can be optically acquired at least through a portion of the operative area of the cleaning device.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2019Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: CLAAS Selbstfahrende Erntemaschinen GmbHInventors: Dennis Neitemeier, Marvin Barther, Frédéric Fischer, Boris Kettelhoit

Patent number: 11388858Abstract: An agricultural work machine has a crop collection arrangement for separating and collecting crops from field vegetation, which crop collection arrangement has at least one crop cutting device, a crop conveying device arranged downstream thereof and a crop intake device arranged downstream thereof, and having a control device which has at least one sensor unit for optically detecting a crop flow, an image processing unit for processing images which are generated by the sensor unit based on the optically detected crop flow, and a data output unit for displaying the images processed by the image processing unit. The image processing unit generates a velocity characteristic map and a directional change characteristic map based on the images generated by the sensor unit. The two characteristic maps are utilized jointly or each individually by the control device to control processes in the agricultural work machine and/or in the crop collection arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2019Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: CLAAS Selbstfahrende Erntemaschinen GmbHInventors: Marvin Barther, Dennis Neitemeier, Frédéric Fischer, Boris Kettelhoit

Publication number: 20220053692Abstract: An agricultural harvesting machine, with at least one work assembly and a monitoring assembly, is disclosed. The agricultural harvesting machine transports harvested material in a harvested material flow along a harvested material transport path. The monitoring assembly includes an measuring system positioned on the harvested material transport path and an evaluation device configured to determine at least one harvested material parameter. The measuring system includes a first passive optical sensor that senses image data indicative of visible light in a first section and a second non-passive non-optical sensor that senses data in a second section that at least partly overlaps the first section. The evaluation device correlates the image data for the overlapping section from the first optical sensor and the data from the second optical sensor and determines, based on the correlation, at least one harvested material parameter.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2021Publication date: February 24, 2022Applicant: CLAAS Selbstfahrende Erntemaschinen GmbHInventors: Frédéric Fischer, Marvin Barther, Dennis Neitemeier, Maik Heufekes, Sven Carsten Belau, Johann Witte
