US 2023/0397533 A1 · COMBINE HARVESTER WITH DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

Abstract

A combine harvester having a plurality of working units for performing a harvested material processing operation is disclosed. The plurality of working units comprise at least one separator and one cleaning device. A grain loss sensor may be present in one or both of the separator or the cleaning device. The combine harvester comprises a driver assistance system, which comprises a grain loss sensor setting assistant configured to determine and to set the grain loss sensor sensitivity of the grain loss sensor(s) of the separator and/or the cleaning device. The grain loss sensor setting assistant may determine in a dialog with an operator the grain loss sensor sensitivity to be set for the grain loss sensor(s).

Dependent claims

A combine harvester comprising:

a plurality of working units configured to perform one or more harvested material processing operations, wherein the plurality of working units comprise at least one separator and at least one cleaning device, wherein one or both of the at least one separator or the at least one cleaning device comprises at least one grain loss sensor;
and
a driver assistance system comprising a grain loss sensor setting assistant configured to:
determine and adjust a grain loss sensor sensitivity of the at least one grain loss sensor of the one or both of the at least one separator or the at least one cleaning device;
and
determine, in a dialog with an operator in one or more dialog steps, the grain loss sensor sensitivity to be set for the at least one grain loss sensor of the one or both of the at least one separator or the at least one cleaning device.

3 more elements

A method for determining and adjusting a grain loss sensor sensitivity of at least one grain loss sensor of a combine harvester, the method comprising:

operating the combine harvester, wherein the combine harvester comprises at least one separator and at least one cleaning device for performing at least one harvested material processing operation, wherein one or both of the at least one separator or the at least one cleaning device comprises at least one grain loss sensor, wherein the combine harvester comprises a driver assistance system;
determining and adjusting, using a grain loss sensor setting assistant of the driver assistance system, a grain loss sensor sensitivity of the at least one grain loss sensor of the one or both of the at least one separator or the at least one cleaning device;
and
determining, in a dialog with an operator in one or more dialog steps, the grain loss sensor sensitivity to be set for the at least one grain loss sensor of the one or both of the at least one separator or the at least one cleaning device.
