Abstract
A device for visualizing control operations of an agricultural working machine includes a visualization device that visualizes at least one driving path to be traveled is assigned to the agricultural working machine. Control operations are stored in graphic images and the graphic images are displayed in the visualization device along the driving path to be traveled in the order in which they are carried out, to maintain an operator in an informed state with respect to the control processes that are taking place.
Claims18
A device for visualizing control operations of an agricultural working machine in a headland, comprising:
- a visualization device (21) arranged in the agricultural working machine, wherein a position of the agricultural working machine is determined using a GPS system, and wherein the visualization device (21) visualizes the agricultural working machine and at least one driving path (7) to be traveled by the agricultural working machine that is formed by a turning path (26) of the agricultural working machine (5) in the headland (13) of a territory (6) to be worked, the turning path (26) comprising a driving route section (8a) leading out of the territory (6) to be worked, a headland section (8b) and a driving route section (8c) leading into the territory (6) to be worked;
- and
- a control/regulating device (9) arranged in the agricultural working machine that stores the at least one driving path (7) formed by the turning path (26) and a control sequence (15) of control operations (16) that are implemented to control the agricultural working machine during travel along the driving path (7) formed by the turning path (26) in the headland;
- wherein graphic images (25) of the control operations (16) are assigned to the driving path (7) to be traveled ahead of execution of the control operations (16) that the graphic images (25) represent and are displayed in the visualization device (21) along the driving path (7) to be traveled in an order in which the control operations (16) are carried out;
- wherein the visualization device (21) comprises a touchscreen monitor (24) that has a menu field (29) in which icons (27) representing the possible control operations (16) are stored, and
- wherein the control sequence (15) of the control operations is programmed by dragging (30) a particular icon (27) from the menu field (29) into the visualized driving path (7) formed by the turning path (26) to be traveled in the headland.

- and
- a control/regulating device (9) arranged in the agricultural working machine that stores the at least one driving path and a control sequence (15) of control operations (16) that are implemented as the agricultural working machine travels at least along the turning path (26) to be traveled in the headland (13);
- wherein graphic images (25) of the control operations (16) are assigned to the driving path (7) to be traveled ahead of execution of the control operations (16) that the graphic images (25) represent and are displayed by the touchscreen monitor (24) at least along the turning path (26) to be traveled in the headland (13) in an order in which the control operations (16) are carried out;
- wherein the touchscreen monitor (24) that has a menu field (29) in which icons (27) representing the possible control operations (16) are stored, and
- wherein the control sequence (15) is programmed using the touchscreen monitor (24) by dragging (30) a particular icon (27) into at least the visualized turning path (26) to be traveled in the headland from the menu field (29).
