Patent number: 6933691Abstract: A control system controls a DC motor which operates a shifting mechanism. The control system includes switch circuit with a plurality of switches which connect terminals of the motor to a power supply. In order to limit the speed and torque, the control system operates the DC motor via pulse-width modulation so that the DC motor is alternately operated in a supply mode and in a short-circuit mode. The alternating supply and short-circuit modes result in operating states in which the motor is alternately driven and decelerated. Consequently, the speed and torque of the DC motor can be limited by the pulse-width modulation of control signals.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2003Date of Patent: August 23, 2005Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Nicolai Tarasinski, Norbert Fritz

Patent number: 6619257Abstract: A system and method for sensing and evaluating the rotation of the auxiliary drive of a utility vehicle is provided. The utility vehicle includes a main drive engine, a gearbox for the propulsion drive and at least one auxiliary drive to which an implement can be selectively connected. The power output of the main drive engine is branched to a first part to a propulsion drive and to a second part to the auxiliary drives. A rotation speed sensor senses rotation speed of the auxiliary drive and provides a speed signal to a control unit. The control unit determines the magnitude or amplitude of the second harmonic of the speed signal and transmits corresponding control signals when a predetermined threshold value is exceeded and/or is not reached. When the control unit determines that the second harmonic of the sensor signals exceeds the threshold value, it permits an increased power output of the main drive engine.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2001Date of Patent: September 16, 2003Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventor: Nicolai Tarasinski

Patent number: 6247378Abstract: A control device for an infinitely variable transmission includes a control lever that is movable along a guide slot and whose position within the slot indicates the commanded speed and direction. The control lever is moved forward from a zero speed position to a maximum forward speed position. Between the zero speed position and maximum forward speed position is a set point position corresponding to a set point speed. A set speed adjuster, such as a potentiometer, enables the operator to adjust the set point speed that is commanded when the control lever is placed in the set point position. The speed for positions of the control lever between the zero and the set point positions varies proportionally between zero and the set point speed. Likewise, the speed for positions of the control lever between the set point position and the maximum forward speed position varies proportionally between the set point speed and the maximum forward speed.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2000Date of Patent: June 19, 2001Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Bruce Craig Newendorp, David Joseph Easton, Nicolai Tarasinski, Dieter Rückert
