Adaptive Rate Control For Feeding Grain To A Grain Unloader Conveyor
US Patent:
2009029, Nov 26, 2009
Filed:
May 21, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/470153
Inventors:
Herbert M. Farley - Elizabethtown PA, US

International Classification:
B65G 43/00, A01D 61/00, B60P 1/42, A01D 41/12, B65G 65/46
US Classification:
414808, 414813
Abstract:
The control of an apparatus within a grain holding device for feeding grain to an unloader conveyor operable for conveying the grain from the holding device, includes sensing a predetermined condition or conditions representative of capacity of the unloader conveyor for receiving grain, and adaptively controlling the apparatus for feeding grain to the unloader conveyor in advantageous varying manners responsive to the conditions, including to delay initiation of feeding until the receiving capacity is increased, and to match the grain feed to the capacity. The automatic control can be overridden, to allow user control of unloader speed, and can be configured to allow cleanout of the unloader conveyor.
Grain Tank Unloader And Clean Out Control
US Patent:
2007018, Aug 9, 2007
Filed:
Mar 23, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/726892
Inventors:

International Classification:
B60P 1/00
US Classification:
414503000
Abstract:
An unloader control for an unloader conveyor and grain tank conveyor of an agricultural combine, which, when an unload command is received, will automatically initiate operation of the unloader conveyor to commence conveying grain in an inlet end thereof toward the outlet end thereof so as to allow smooth transition of grain from the grain tank conveyor to the inlet end of the unloader conveyor, then automatically initiate operation of the grain tank conveyor for moving grain into the inlet end of the unloader conveyor, and, when a clean out command is received during operation of the unloader conveyor and the grain tank conveyor, will automatically cease operation of the grain tank conveyor, then, after a sufficient time period for the unloader conveyor to convey substantially all of any grain therein through the outlet end, automatically cease operation of the unloader conveyor.
