Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for controlling a drive unit according to the position of a shuttle lever of an agricultural machine supporting autonomous driving. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to an apparatus for providing a transition between autonomous driving and manual driving by newly defining the position between forward and neutral or between neutral and reverse for an agricultural machine shuttle lever configured in a forward-neutral-reverse structure.
Claims10
An electronic device included in an agricultural machine, the electronic device comprising:
- a shuttle lever that is manipulatable to be fixed to one of three positions of drive, neutral, and reverse;
- a sensor configured to sense a position of the shuttle lever;
- a transceiver electrically connected to a drive control device including a drive unit of the agricultural machine;
- and
- at least one processor electrically connected to the transceiver and the sensor,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- control the transceiver to receive information indicating whether the agricultural machine is operated in autonomous driving or manual driving from the drive control device;
- control the sensor to sense the position of the shuttle lever;
- and
- transmit, to the drive control device, manual switching control information that allows the drive unit to operate to be switched from the autonomous driving to the manual driving when the shuttle lever is positioned between the drive and neutral or between the reverse and the neutral for a predetermined time interval or longer during the autonomous driving of the agricultural machine.
