Draper drum floor vanes

An adjustable divider system adapted to assist in distributing a crop material being discharged from a draper header to a feederhouse, the adjustable divider system comprising:

• at least one divider positioned adjacent to an upper side of a drum floor;
• at least one actuator coupled to the at least one divider;
• a controller coupled to the at least one actuator and adapted to selectively operate the at least one actuator;
• and
• at least one sensor adapted to provide information to the controller indicative of a distribution of the crop material, wherein, using at least the information from the at least one sensor, the controller generates a signal to selectively operate the at least one actuator, at least one divider being pivotally displaceable about the drum floor in response to the selective operation of the at least one actuator,
• wherein the at least one divider includes a divider wall having a first wall segment and a second wall segment, the first and second wall segments being separate segments of the divider wall that are joined together at a guide protrusion that is configured for sliding engagement within at least a portion of a guide aperture in the drum floor.

A method of operating an adjustable divider system to assist in distributing a crop material, the method comprising:

• detecting, by one or more sensors of an agricultural machine, one or more distribution characteristics of the crop material;
• determining, using the one or more distribution characteristics, a crop material distribution at one or more locations along at least a portion the agricultural machine;
• pivotally displacing, in response to the determined crop material distribution, one or more dividers relative to a drum floor of a draper header to adjust a distribution of the crop material entering into a feederhouse of the agricultural machine;
• and
• guiding, via a mating engagement of a guide protrusion of the one or more dividers and one or more guide apertures in the drum floor, the pivotal displacement of the one or more dividers.

An adjustable divider system adapted to assist in distributing a crop material being discharged from a draper header to a feederhouse, the adjustable divider system comprising:

• at least one divider positioned adjacent to an upper side of a drum floor, the at least one divider including a guide protrusion sized to be matingly received in a least a portion of one or more guide apertures in the drum floor;
• at least one actuator coupled to the at least one divider;
• a controller coupled to the at least one actuator and adapted to selectively operate the at least one actuator;
• and
• at least one sensor adapted to provide information to the controller indicative of a distribution of the crop material, wherein, using at least the information from the at least one sensor, the controller generates a signal to selectively operate the at least one actuator, at least one divider being pivotally displaceable about the drum floor in response to the selective operation of the at least one actuator.
