Abstract
A method is provided in which measurement data that characterize at least one condition of at least one root crop conveyed by the root crop conveyor device are measured by at least one measuring device. Result data which are dependent at least on the measurement data are then calculated by an evaluation device. The result data serve, indirectly or directly, for the adjustment of the root crop conveyor. The result data or a signal dependent thereon are/is then provided by the evaluation device.
Claims21
A method for determining a characteristic of harvested material conveyed by a root crop conveyor device, the method comprising the following steps:
- measuring, by at least one measuring device, measurement data that characterize at least one condition of at least one root crop conveyed by the root crop conveyor device,
- calculating, by an evaluation device, result data which are dependent at least on the measurement data and are suitable for adjustment of the root crop conveyor device,
- providing, by the evaluation device, the result data or a signal dependent thereon,
- wherein the measurement data are measured at least in part by a tactile sensor of the measuring device which is to be moved toward the root crop.
A method for determining a characteristic of harvested material conveyed by a root crop conveyor device, the method comprising the following steps:
- measuring, by at least one measuring device, measurement data that characterize at least one condition of at least one root crop conveyed by the root crop conveyor device,
- calculating, by an evaluation device, result data which are dependent at least on the measurement data and are suitable for adjustment of the root crop conveyor device, providing, by the evaluation device, the result data or a signal dependent thereon,
- wherein the root crop, prior to the measurement, is spatially separated from a stream of harvested material,
- wherein the root crop is separated from the stream of harvested material after it has traveled at least two thirds of a conveying section of the root crop conveyor device extending from a loading end to a discharge end and/or after it has been transferred to a conveying element which extends up to the discharge end or is arranged directly upstream of a bunker.
A method for determining a characteristic of harvested material conveyed by a root crop conveyor device, the method comprising the following steps:
- measuring, by at least one measuring device, measurement data that characterize at least one condition of at least one root crop conveyed by the root crop conveyor device,
- calculating, by an evaluation device, result data which are dependent at least on the measurement data and are suitable for adjustment of the root crop conveyor device, providing, by the evaluation device, the result data or a signal dependent thereon,
- wherein the measurement data are measured at least in part by an optical sensor of the measuring device,
- wherein the measurement data are measured by different sensors of the measuring device and/or at least one sensor of the measuring device is moved relative to the root crop and/or relative to the machine frame between two measurements.
