Abrégé

A method for determining a terrain contour lying ahead in the direction of travel of an agricultural distribution machine includes determining a reference distance of a distribution boom from a reference measuring point of a target area, for example, a ground or crop surface, and determining a distance of the distribution boom from a measuring point of the target area arranged ahead of the reference measuring point in the direction of travel of the distribution machine. The method further includes referencing, preferably by comparing and/or relating the determined distance to the determined reference distance, to determine a change in the terrain contour at the measuring point relative to the reference measuring point. An agricultural distribution machine has a distribution boom and a control device for controlling the height of a distribution boom of such a distribution machine.

An agricultural distribution machine for dispensing liquid and/or solid plant protection agents is disclosed, having a distribution device which is arranged in a vertically adjustable manner on a frame of the distribution machine, and wherein a plurality of nozzle holders having spray nozzles provided thereon for distributing the plant protection agent to be dispensed are provided in a spaced-apart manner on said distribution machine, and wherein the distribution device is actuated on the basis of at least two spray profiles stored in a computer unit, said spray profiles being composed of a plurality of parameters. In order to achieve a constant distribution quality of the plant protection agent, provision is made for it to be possible for different spray profiles to be stored in a computer unit and, if the parameters of one spray profile deviate, for the distribution machine or the distribution device to be switched automatically to the parameters of a second spray profile.

Abrégé

The invention relates to a method for controlling a velocity (vF) of an agricultural machine (10) in particular of an agricultural tractor machine (12) or self-propelling working machine which is equipped, at a drivers's position, at least with an accelerator pedal (32) and a brake pedal (34) forfoot activation, and with at least one hand lever (20). The pedals (32, 34) and hand lever (20) each serve to influence the velocity (vF) by means of corresponding driving instructions of the machine operator. The respectively last occurring activation of one of the foot pedals (32, 34) or of the hand lever (20) by the machine operator with a request to change the velocity (vF) defines whether the foot pedals (32, 34) are activated or deactivated or whether the hand lever (20) is activated or deactivated. This priority control (36) is maintained until a changed request is issued by corresponding activation of one of the foot pedals (32, 34) or of the hand lever (20) by the machine operator. The invention also relates to a correspondingly equipped agricultural machine (10).

An apparatus (10) for discharging liquid and/or solid active substances and a method for controlling the apparatus are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a carrier vehicle (12), at least one linkage (18) that is arranged so as to be pivotable at least about a rotation axis (54), and at least one sensor arrangement (40) for capturing a rotary speed and/or a rotary position of the linkage (18) about the rotation axis (54) with regard to a reference plane (42). A regulating device (36) processes output signals from the sensor arrangements (40) into control signals for an actuator (26, 28) for adjusting the linkage (18). The at least one actuator (26, 28) is formed by at least one linear or rotary drive that operates with fluidic pressure and produces an actuating connection between the carrier vehicle (12) and the pivotable linkage (18), wherein the at least one linear or rotary drive has in each case one active pressure side that is able to be subjected to fluidic actuating pressure for each of the two adjusting directions of the linkage (18). In the case of a linkage (18) that is resting or moving slightly with respect to the carrier vehicle (12), an approximately identical pressure level prevails in the active pressure sides of two linear or rotary drives that operate in opposite directions or of a double-acting linear or rotary drive. In the case of a linkage (18) that has been adjusted with respect to the carrier vehicle (12), a defined differential pressure is settable between the active pressure sides of the two linear or rotary drives that operate in opposite directions or of the double-acting linear or rotary drive.

A device for applying liquid and/or solid active substances and a method for controlling the device are disclosed. The device comprises a carrier vehicle, at least one linkage which is arranged such that it can be pivoted at least about one rotational axis, and at least one sensor arrangement for detecting a rotational speed and/or a rotational position of the linkage about the rotational axis in relation to a reference plane. A regulating device processes output signals of the sensor arrangements to produce control signals for an actuator for adjusting the linkage.

In the case of a linkage which is at rest or is moving slightly with respect to the carrier vehicle, an approximately identical pressure level prevails in the active pressure sides of two linear or rotary drives which operate in opposite directions or of one double-acting linear or rotary drive. In the case of a linkage which is adjusted with respect to the carrier vehicle, a defined differential pressure can be set between the active pressure sides of the two linear or rotary drives which operate in opposite directions or of the double-acting linear or rotary drive.

A device (01) for discharging fluid and/or solid active materials and a method for controlling such a device (01) are described. The device (01) comprises: a carrier vehicle (10), at least one linkage (02, 21, 22) arranged so as to be pivotable at least about a rotational axis (20), at least one sensor arrangement (25, 26) for sensing a rotational speed (w) of the linkage (02, 21, 22) about the rotational axis (20), at least one sensor arrangement for sensing a rotational position (alpha1, d_alpha1) of the linkage (02, 21, 22) about the rotational axis (20), a regulating device which processes output signals (alpha0) of the sensor arrangements to form control signals, and an actuator (03) which influences the instantaneous rotational position (alpha0) of the linkage (02, 21, 22) as a function of control signals of the regulating device. In order to determine a rotational position (alpha0) of the linkage (02, 21, 22) with respect to an initial orientation, the regulating device calculates, through integration of the rotational speed (w) over time, a rotational position (alpha2) of the linkage (02, 21, 22) with respect to a reference plane, and merges the rotational position (alpha2), calculated on the basis of the rotational speed (w), with the detected rotational position (alpha1, d_alpha1) in order to determine the instantaneous rotational position (alpha0) of the linkage (02, 21, 22) with respect to the reference plane, so as to generate therefrom a control signal which moves the linkage (02, 21, 22) back from its instantaneous rotational position (alpha0) into a setpoint rotational position.
