Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an agricultural working machine for agricultural use on an agricultural field, which has a field area and a headland area.

[0002] In modern agriculture, several different agricultural fields are worked with several and / or different agricultural machines, whereby the field areas and the headland areas are determined by the farmer before this processing.

[0003] From US 9,974,225 B2 a method for generating a discontinuous curvature end curve path for an agricultural vehicle is known, wherein the discontinuous curvature end curve path comprises a plurality of initial segments which are curved or straight, wherein at least one continuity segment is added between each of the initial segments, wherein the at least one continuity segment is a clothoid segment and the initial segments and the at least one continuity segment are combined to form and indicate a continuous curvature turnaround path at the end of the series.

[0004] According to US 9,974,225 B2, the generation of a discontinuous final curve path for an agricultural vehicle with respect to the headland is made possible locally, i.e. while driving on the agricultural field, but this generation can, for example, lead to field areas and / or headland areas of the agricultural field suddenly being used which do not correspond to the field areas and / or headland areas defined by the farmer before this processing.

[0005] The present invention is based on the object of providing an improved agricultural working machine which supports the farmer in the previously planned processing of the agricultural field, in particular counteracting undesirable and / or inappropriate travel on the agricultural field.

The satellite device can comprise NAVSTAR-GPS, GLO-NASS, Galileo, Beidou, GPS, and / or Galileo satellites.The positioning device can be designed and / or programmed for position determination using the RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) method, which uses a so-called RTK signal from a stationary ground station in addition to the satellite signals to determine the position of the agricultural machine in the agricultural field. The stationary ground station can be located outside the agricultural field.

[0013] At least the following data is stored in the setting device, particularly in the internal data memory: a predefined positioning of the headland area within the agricultural field, predefined dimensions of this headland area, predefined lanes within the field area, and work machine parameters related to the implement.

[0040] As in the Fig. 1, an adjusting device 3 is formed and arranged within the agricultural working machine 1, wherein this adjusting device 3 is subsequently described with reference to the Fig. 2 is explained.

[0041] The adjustment device 3 is provided and configured to adjust the agricultural working machine 1 as a function of measured operating parameters and satellite-based position information in such a way that the agricultural working machine 1 travels along several lanes 7, 8, 9 within the field area 13, wherein two of these lanes 7, 8, 9 can each be connected to one another by means of a headland lane 12 to be determined within the headland area 10.

[0042] One or more operating parameters recorded by measurement can be stored in the form of a data set 46 in the internal data memory 26 and / or a further external data memory 37 and can relate to crop information 27, weather information 28, location information 29, a further work machine parameter 31 and / or an operating state 32 of the agricultural work machine 1.

[0045] The work machine parameter can relate to the number of attachments 18, 19, 20 and / or the type and / or design of the attachment 18, 19, 20. By means of the work machine parameters relating to the attachment 18, 19, 20, it can be detected whether the attachment 18, 19, 20 is a front-mounted attachment 18 or a rear-mounted attachment 19, 20. The setting device 3 is provided and configured so that, if the agricultural work machine 1 has at least one rear-mounted attachment 19, 20 according to the work machine parameter, only headland tracks 12 are considered when determining the headland track 12 that exclusively involve forward travel of the agricultural work machine 1. This can be, for example, an Ω-shaped headland track (12) and / or a U-shaped headland track.

[0046] The setting device 3 can be provided and configured to set the internal user interface 24, which has an internal display 25, in such a way that at least one or more determined headland lanes 12 are displayed to the driver 23 for selection.

[0049] The agricultural work machine 1 has an external user interface 34, which is designed outside the agricultural work machine 1 for a farmer 42 and has an external display 35 and an external data memory 36. The setting device 3 is provided and configured to set this external user interface 34 such that a message is displayed to the farmer 42 if a headland lane 12 determined by the setting device 3 is not used and the driver 23 sets a different headland lane 12. For this purpose, the external user interface 34 and the setting device 3 can be communicatively connected to one another by means of at least one wireless data connection.

[0050] In the Fig. 3 shows a comparison of several different headland situations 38, 39, 40, 41. A longitudinal axis 44 and a transverse axis 45 are arranged perpendicularly and / or orthogonally to each other, with the longitudinal axis 44 being aligned parallel to each lane 7, while the transverse axis 45 is aligned parallel to the field boundary 6.

[0051] The first headland situation 38 relates to an agricultural machine 1 having a front-mounted implement 18 and two rear-mounted implements 19, 20 for agriculturally cultivating parts 14 and 15 of field area 13 while traveling along lane 7 and the other, nearest lane 8. In this case, the adjustment device 3 has determined an optimal Ω-shaped headland lane 12.

[0052] The second headland situation 39 concerns an agricultural machine 1 having a front-mounted implement 18 and two rear-mounted implements 19, 20 for agriculturally cultivating parts 14 and 16 of field area 13 while traveling along lane 7 and the other, not closest, lane 9. In this case, the adjustment device 3 has determined an optimal U-shaped headland lane 12.

[0053] The third headland situation 40 concerns an agricultural machine 1 that has a front-mounted attachment 18 but no rear-mounted attachment for agriculturally cultivating parts 14 and 15 of the field area 13 while traveling along lane 7 and the other, nearest lane 8. In this case, the adjustment device 3 has determined an optimal Y-shaped headland lane 12.

[0054] The fourth headland situation 41 concerns an agricultural machine 1 that has a front-mounted attachment 18 but no rear-mounted attachment for agriculturally cultivating parts 14 and 15 of field area 13 while traveling along lane 7 and the other, nearest lane 8. In this case, the adjustment device 3 has determined an optimal K-shaped headland lane 12.

[0055] It is in the Fig. 3 clearly shows that the headland lane 12 and the area of ​​the headland area 10 between the field boundary 6 and the intermediate boundary 11 are completely different in the headland situations 38, 38, and 40. Although the headland situations 40 and 41 have an identically sized headland area 10, the type and length of the headland lanes 12 are different.

[0056] The adjustment device 3 can be provided and configured to adjust the internal user interface 24 such that, in addition to the selection option of the multiple headland lanes 12, the driver 23 is presented with additional information regarding each of these selectable headland lanes 12. This additional information can relate to the area of ​​the headland area 10 and / or the length of the headland lanes 12 in order to assist the driver 23 in selecting the optimal headland lane 12.
