Embodiment Construction

[0013] refer to figure 1 , a side view of the machine 100 is shown. The machine 100 may include a frame 102, a plurality of legs 104a, 104b (collectively referred to as legs 104), a plurality of ground engaging members 106a, 106b (collectively referred to as ground engaging members 106), a rotor 108, an operator compartment 110, a control system and hydraulic cylinder 114. The frame 102 may be supported on a plurality of legs 104 . In some embodiments, frame 102 may support operator compartment 110 and rotor 108 . The rotor 108 may also be suspended from the frame 102 using hydraulic cylinders 114 . In some embodiments, the plurality of legs 104 may be further coupled to the ground engaging member 106 . In some embodiments, the height of the machine 100 from the ground on which the machine 100 operates may be adjusted by adjusting the height of the plurality of legs 104 . Additionally, the height of the rotor 108 can also be adjusted by adjusting the length of the hydraul...

Abstract

A method and system for operating a milling machine is disclosed. The method includes receiving input identifying a leg of a plurality of legs of the milling machine. Additionally, the method includes determining the height of the leg based on receiving the input identifying the leg. The height of the outrigger is determined based on the position data of the outrigger. Position data is obtained by the first sensor. Additionally, the method includes determining, by the controller and based on determining the height of the leg, the heights of other legs of the plurality of legs to be adjusted. Thereafter, the method includes adjusting the height of other legs of the plurality of legs to the height of the legs. The heights of the other legs are adjusted based on the determined heights of the legs.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to milling machines. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods and systems for operating milling machines. Background technique [0002] Milling machines such as cold planers and rotary mixers can be configured to remove paved areas such as roads. Typically, a milling machine may include a rotor, a plurality of legs, and an operator's compartment coupled to a frame of the milling machine. Additionally, the height of the rotor (relative to the surface) and the height of the various legs can be adjusted based on the operation of the milling machine. For example, when a milling machine performs a milling operation, the rotor and multiple legs are lowered. After a milling operation (ie, a non-milling operation), it may be necessary to lift the legs and rotor to a predetermined height (eg, a maximum height) to enable the milling machine to move from the current position to another position. [0003] Typica...
