Abstract
A plow apparatus has a share to cut soil into clods, a moldboard connected to the share to turn over the clods, a beam connecting the moldboard to a motor vehicle, a vibrator assembly connected to the moldboard so as to vibrate the moldboard, a force sensor connected to the beam so as to detect a plowing force, and a controller connected to the force sensor and the vibrator assembly so as to control a vibration of the vibrator assembly according to a force value detected by the force sensor.
Claims10
A plow apparatus comprising:
- a share adapted to cut soil into clods;
- a moldboard connected to said share so as to form a share-moldboard assembly, said moldboard adapted to turn over the clods of soil cut by said share;
- a beam adapted to connect said share-moldboard assembly to a motor vehicle;
- a vibrator assembly connected to said moldboard so as to vibrate said share-moldboard assembly;
- a force sensor connected to the beam so as to detect a plowing force on said beam;
- and
- a controller connected to said force sensor and to said vibrator assembly so as to control the vibration of said vibrator assembly according to a force value of the plowing force detected by said force sensor, said controller cooperative with said force sensor so as to acquire the force value from said force sensor so as to obtain a minimum force through control of said vibrator assembly.
