IMPLEMENT TOOL ANGLE CONTROL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18359516 titled 'IMPLEMENT TOOL ANGLE CONTROL SYSTEM
The abstract of the patent application describes an agricultural implement that includes ground-engaging tools and a hydraulically-controlled subsystem to modify the operating angle of these tools. A sensor generates signals indicating the current operating angle, which are used by an implement control system to adjust the angle as needed.
- Ground-engaging tools modify the surface configuration of an agricultural field.
- Hydraulically-controlled subsystem adjusts the operating angle of the tools.
- Sensor generates signals indicating the current operating angle.
- Implement control system uses sensor signals to determine and change the operating angle.
- Control signals are generated to modify the operating angle from the current to a new angle.
Potential Applications: - Precision agriculture - Field leveling and shaping - Seedbed preparation

Original Abstract Submitted
An agricultural implement includes a plurality of ground-engaging tools configured to modify a surface configuration of an agricultural field and a hydraulically-controlled subsystem configured to modify an operating angle of the plurality of ground-engaging tools. The agricultural implement also includes a sensor coupled to the hydraulically-controlled subsystem configured to generate sensor signals indicative of a current operating angle of the plurality of ground-engaging tools. The agricultural implement also includes an implement control system configured to receive the sensor signals from the sensor to determine the current operating angle of the plurality of ground-engaging tools, and, upon determining the current operating angle is to be changed to a new operating angle, generate control signals for the hydraulically-controlled subsystem to modify the operating angle of the plurality of ground-engaging tools from the current operating angle to the new operating angle.
