Benefits of technology

[0008]In this way, undesired time delays in the supply of the wrapping material to the baling chamber are avoided.

Problems solved by technology

In the case of an actuation of the arrangement for the wrapping of a bale based upon the size of the bale it is seen as detrimental that a certain time delay occurs between the actuation of the drive and the beginning of the actual wrapping process, that is occasioned by the distance between the arrangement and the baling chamber and the conveying velocity of the drive.
This time delay slows the bale manufacturing process.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]FIG. 1 shows a round baler 10 with a housing 12, that can be coupled by means of a tow bar 14 to a towing vehicle 50 in the form of an agricultural tractor, in order to be towed across a field in a direction of operation to the right in FIG. 1, and is supported on wheels 16. The housing 12 is composed of a forward rigid housing half 18 and a rear housing half 20 that can be pivoted, these are connected to each other so they can pivot by a joint 19 located upward. The housing 12 carries a multitude of rolls. Several endless conveying elements 22, arranged alongside each other, extend over the rolls and largely surround the baling chamber 24 that is also enclosed by side walls of the housing 12. In this embodiment the conveying elements 22 are configured as belts. An inlet 26 is provided in the lower region of the baling chamber 24, which is bordered to the rear by a roll 28 and permits entry into the baling chamber 24 by crop taken up by a pickup 30.

Abstract

An arrangement is provided for the wrapping of a bale. The arrangement has a drive for the introduction of a wrapping material into a baling chamber, a sensor for the detection of a physical size of a bale developing in a baling chamber, and a control arrangement connected with the drive and the sensor, to activate the drive based on the signals from the sensor. It is proposed that the control arrangement be operated to activate the drive looking ahead, based upon the detected growth rate in the size of the bale and the time delay between the activation of the drive and the exact time in which the wrapping material reaches the baling chamber, so that the wrapping material reaches the baling chamber when the size of the bale is equal to the desired size of the bale.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention concerns arrangements and processes for the wrapping of agricultural bales. The arrangement has a drive for the introduction of a wrapping material into a baling chamber, a sensor for the detection of a physical size of a bale being formed in the baling chamber, and a control arrangement connected to the drive and the sensor that can be operated so as to activate the drive based on the signals from the sensor.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Round agricultural balers are usually equipped with arrangements for the wrapping of the finished bale that are brought into movement by a drive, and deliver twine, a net or a foil, that is deposited upon and envelops the rotating bale. Such arrangements are only activated after the completion of the bale, and can be induced by the operator by means of an input arrangement, after the operator has been notified by a signal in a display arrangement that the size of the bale or the density of the bale has r...
