  • Patent number: 12161064
    Abstract: A harvesting reel includes a reel frame and a rotating assembly. The reel frame includes two cam assemblies and a cover. The first cam assembly defines a first cam track, and the second cam assembly defines a second cam track. The rotating assembly carries a plurality of reel bats configured to revolve around the longitudinal axis of the rotating assembly and a plurality of reel tines fixed to each reel bat. Each reel bat is coupled to a first cam follower and a second cam follower. The first cam follower of each reel bat travels within the first cam track, the second cam follower of each reel bat travels within the second cam track, and a position and an orientation of each reel bat are defined by the cam tracks.

  • Publication number: 20240324505
    Abstract: A system for cleaning sensor assemblies of an agricultural harvester includes an elevator assembly configured to convey harvested crop material, with the elevator including an elevator frame. Furthermore, the system includes a sensor assembly positioned within the elevator assembly, with the sensor assembly including a weigh plate coupled to the elevator frame such that the weigh plate and the elevator frame define a gap therebetween. The sensor assembly further includes a load sensor coupled between the elevator frame and the weigh plate such that the load sensor is configured to generate data indicative of a weight of the harvested crop material present on the weigh plate. Additionally, the system includes a cleaning device configured to remove debris from the gap.
