Abstract
Agricultural transport vehicle, in particular mixer-wagon, having at least one hold for agricultural bulk goods and at least one weighing device, in particular a load cell and/or a weighing bar, for detecting the weight of load in the hold; having at least one inertial measuring unit for measuring an acceleration and/or orientation of the agricultural transport vehicle, in particular the hold; and having at least one computing unit which is designed to compensate a raw signal of the weighing device with respect to the measured acceleration and/or orientation.
Claims15
An agricultural transport vehicle comprising:
- at least one hold for agricultural bulk goods;
- at least one weighing device, said at least one weighing device detecting the weight of a load in said at least one hold;
- at least one inertial measuring unit, said at least one inertial measuring unit measuring an acceleration and/or orientation of either the agricultural transport vehicle or said at least one hold, wherein at least one of said at least one inertial measuring unit is provided in the region of a center of gravity of the agricultural transport vehicle, and wherein said at least one inertial measuring unit is less than 50 cm away from at least one of a center of gravity of an empty transport vehicle and a center of gravity of a maximum loaded transport vehicle;
- and
- at least one computing unit adapted to compensate a raw signal of the weighing device with respect to the measured acceleration and/or orientation.
An agricultural transport vehicle comprising:
- at least one hold for agricultural bulk goods;
- at least one weighing device, said at least one weighing device detecting the weight of a load in said at least one hold;
- at least one inertial measuring unit, said at least one inertial measuring unit measuring an acceleration and/or orientation of either the agricultural transport vehicle or said at least one hold, wherein at least one of said at least one inertial measuring unit is provided in the region of a center of gravity of the agricultural transport vehicle;
- at least one computing unit adapted to compensate a raw signal of the weighing device with respect to the measured acceleration and/or orientation;
- wherein said at least one inertial measuring unit or said at least one computing unit having a writable storage unit for storing software;
- and
- wherein at least one of said at least one inertial measuring unit is provided on an axle of the agricultural transport vehicle and/or on a hitch device.
An agricultural transport vehicle for transporting a load comprising:
- a hold placed on the agricultural transport vehicle, said hold adapted to receive a load;
- a weighing device coupled to said hold, said weighing device capable of detecting a weight of the load and generating a raw signal representative of the weight;
- an inertial measuring unit, said inertial measuring unit capable of measuring acceleration or orientation of said hold, said inertial measuring unit capable of generating a signal representative of an acceleration or orientation of said hold, said inertial measuring unit arranged in a region of a center of gravity of the agricultural transport vehicle;
- a computing unit, said computing unit receiving the raw signal representative of the weight from said weighing device and the signal representative of an acceleration or orientation of said hold from said inertial measuring unit;
- and
- wherein said computing unit calculates a falsifying influence due to the acceleration or orientation of said hold on the raw signal representative of the weight and compensates for the falsifying influence and calculates an actual total weight of the load,
- whereby the actual total weight of the load is determined without the falsifying influence due to the acceleration or orientation of said hold providing loading and unloading of the load with high-precision.
