INDEPENDENT REEL POSITION CONTROL FOR AN AGRICULTURAL HARVESTER HEADER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18290967 titled 'INDEPENDENT REEL POSITION CONTROL FOR AN AGRICULTURAL HARVESTER HEADER
The abstract describes an agricultural harvester header with a reel that has two or more reel arms supporting the reel at either end of one or more reel segments. The reel arms can be independently controlled to raise, lower, tilt left, or tilt right each reel segment to engage crop canopy contour optimally regardless of ground contour.
- The agricultural harvester header features a reel with multiple reel arms supporting the reel segments.
- Each reel arm can be controlled independently to adjust the position of the reel segments.
- The ability to raise, lower, tilt left, or tilt right each reel segment allows for optimal engagement with crop canopy contour.
- The design ensures that the harvester header can adapt to varying ground contours for efficient harvesting.
- This innovation enhances the performance and versatility of agricultural harvesting equipment.
Potential Applications: - Agriculture - Farming - Crop harvesting
Problems Solved: - Inefficient engagement with crop canopy contour - Limited adaptability to ground contours - Lack of control over reel positioning
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in harvesting - Enhanced adaptability to different crop and ground conditions - Increased control over reel positioning for optimal performance
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Agricultural Harvester Header for Enhanced Crop Harvesting This technology can be used in various agricultural settings to improve crop harvesting efficiency and adaptability to different crop and ground conditions. It has the potential to revolutionize the agricultural industry by enhancing the performance of harvesting equipment.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the independent control of reel arms improve harvesting efficiency? 2. What are the key benefits of the agricultural harvester header with a multi-arm reel design?
Original Abstract Submitted
An agricultural harvester header with a reel having two or more reel arms that support the reel at either end of one or more reel segments. The positions of each reel arm can be independently controlled such that each reel segment can be raised lowered, tilted left, or tilted right to optimally engage oncoming crop canopy contour regardless of ground contour.
