GRAIN AMOUNT DETECTOR FOR RECOVERED GRAINS IN COMBINE HARVESTER AND DISPLAY SHOWING THE AMOUNT OF STORED GRAIN

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a grain amount detector that can detect the amount of the grains collected in the tank of the combined harvester exactly as much as possible regardless of mixing with rachis-branches, straw waste and the like. ;SOLUTION: This grain amount detector is equipped with the torque detection means TK1 that detects the torque driving the screw conveyer for conveying the grains recovered to the first gate and the stored grain capacity estimation means 101 that knows the flow rate of the grains conveyed to the grain tank on the basis of the information on the detected torque and calculates the amount of the grains stored in the tank on the basis of the flow rate calculation. The stored grain capacity estimation means 101 can correct the storage capacity on the basis of the deviation range in several torque values detected by detector.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2001,JPO
