US Patent:

7082361, Jul 25, 2006

Filed:

Feb 9, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/774794

Inventors:

John G. Berger - Landisville PA, US
Jeremy Daniel Peters - New Holland PA, US
Philip J. Ehrhart - Narvon PA, US
Richard P Strosser - Akron PA, US
Christopher A. Foster - Winchester, NZ

Assignee:

CNH America LLC - New Holland PA

International Classification:

B60T 8/32

US Classification:

701 93

Abstract:

The apparatus is an electronic speed control for farm machines. A microprocessor is fed data on the tractor engine speed, the tractor ground speed, and the manual speed lever setting, and electronically matches the desired ground speed to the engine speed to prevent stalling the engine. Ground speed is controlled by using the microprocessor to electrically vary a control valve that replaces the usual mechanical linkage between the speed control lever and the hydraulic pumps driving the hydraulic wheel motors.

International Classification:

G06F 7/70

US Classification:

701 50, 56 102 R

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for calibrating a PTO for driving a cutter of a header of an agricultural windrower, wherein a programmable control module in connection with at least signal operated device in operative control of a variable displacement pump operable for controlling operation of the PTO, is programmed as part of an automatic calibration routine for directing signals to the device having values which will increase over time from a first value toward a second value. At the same time, the control module determines when a first movement of the cutter occurs. If the first movement occurs before the second signal value is reached, information representative of an electrical signal corresponding to the first movement is stored. The routine is then repeated using a higher range of electrical signal values to calibrate where the cutter reaches max speed. In either instance, if the speed condition is not reached with the outputting of the signals within the range, the calibration fails.

US Classification:

701 50, 701 21, 701 99, 180315, 702 85, 702 88, 345161

Abstract:

Calibration of an FNR lever, wherein signal outputs as the FNR lever is transitioned to and from the neutral position and through a range of positions, are determined. It is then determined whether the values are within expected norms. If not, a fault condition exists. The operator is also prompted to input acknowledgments when the FNR lever is at the fully rearward and forward positions. Signal values outputted by a neutral switch are sensed when the lever is initially moved to the neutral position, and at a predetermined time thereafter, to test a propulsion enable or latch relay which is to provide a predetermined output for a predetermined time after the lever moves into the neutral position, for transitioning of the system to neutral operation.
