Haymakers TRIZ Cases

A control device varies elongate-unit direction and machine path to form irregular plant rows around obstacles with less operator input.

Hydraulic flotation keeps raking groups at a constant ground distance on uneven terrain, improving windrow uniformity and reducing comb wear.

A multi-hinge joint lets the rear rake frame section shift position and angle independently, separating raking width from windrow width control.

A link-and-lift merger attachment keeps the windrower conveyor low for crop pickup and raised at an incline to prevent material buildup and bounce.

Different-diameter tine wheels and spring-loaded pivots improve swath turning, ground following, and crop pick-up in less space.

Adjustable rake arm linkages shift between transport and operating positions to fully disturb crop and form one windrow across varying field conditions.

Sensor-based hydraulic steering control corrects rear rotor tracking in a towed side rake while reducing retrofit complexity and swath transfer errors.

Coordinated lift control moves adjacent rake rotors in sequence to prevent parallel swaths and keep crop pickup reliable during harvesting.

An onboard cab and propulsion layout lets the rake turn tightly, avoid running over hay, and form windrows with less damage and more even drying.

Support bodies in rake wheel mounting holes spread tine loads, reducing spring tooth wear, breakage, and replacement frequency.

A comb and front blade rotor stabilize forage flow, preventing dispersal, entanglement, and material loss in windrowing.

Force sensors on long and short spring tines detect soil contact and auto-adjust rotor height to cut forage contamination and crop loss.

A movable intermediate drive element lets long rake arms fold within legal transport height while keeping power transmission aligned.

Adjusted tine arm angles and unequal spring-leg lengths improve crop intake and discharge while reducing tine breakage and crop soiling.

A load transfer element shifts axle loads from the baler toward the windrower, improving steering stability during turns and on uneven ground.

Flexible strips shield the tines while the rotor lifts and turns the swath, exposing damp lower crop for more uniform drying.

Independently pivotable rake arms form precise windrows while limiting hay disturbance, damage, and moisture loss during raking.

Field, crop, rake, and recovery-machine data guide swath planning to improve recovery efficiency and reduce driver workload.

This case uses field, crop, swather, and recovery-machine data to plan precise windrow dimensions before field operations.

A rigid carrier-mounted central pin and positioning actuator simplify work-to-headland changes while avoiding vegetation damage.

A retaining mechanism keeps the support arm active until sliding adjustment ends, simplifying catching-element deployment.

A biased frame and bracket system maintains drive angle while pivoting the rake drivetrain between working and transport positions.

Arcuate spring tine contours create concave contact surfaces that prevent soil contamination and crop jamming in haymaking machines.

A star-wheel rake elevates front collection wheels via coaxial rear drive coupling to prevent ground contact.

An intermediate frame articulates between traveling and support structures to adjust processing unit orientation during transport.

Slotted tube enclosure prevents crop wrapping on harvester reel tines, reducing manual removal needs and improving harvesting efficiency.

A motor-driven raking vehicle uses a sensor assembly to detect windrow quality and adjusts tine height for consistent crop handling.

Inclined bearing faces in a rotor arm coupling lock axial and rotational movement, eliminating shocks from manufacturing tolerances.

W-bend configuration with rigid intermediate shaft reduces vibrations and wear in large swather drive trains while maintaining working width.

Aligning the resilient coil winding axis perpendicularly to maximum bending forces reduces fatigue fracture risk in haymaking machine rake tines.

A rake control device adjusts swath width dynamically to match pickup requirements across varying field paths.

An elastic strut tilts the rotary rake holder via compressive force, resolving slow discrete inclination adjustments.

Variable speed transverse conveyors adjust crop flow to maintain uniform swath deposition on slopes and uneven terrain.

A swather rake assembly with parabolic tool bars and pivot connections enables forward hay raking.

An inclined axis of rotation in the hinged joint folds long rakes under four meters, reducing stress concentrations at articulation points.

Double rockers on the hay rake chassis allow independent wheel movement, resolving ground adaptation issues that cause tine damage and crop contamination.

A double-spring arrangement guides a rod to stabilize the rotary rake, absorbing transport loads that wear mechanical stops.

Swivel arm aligns with main chassis axis to maintain tool height settings during operation.

Nested telescopic booms dynamically expand to achieve maximum working width, reducing transport dimensions without increasing mechanism complexity.

Automatic relief adjustment compensates for changing rotor distances, eliminating manual intervention and uneven soil contact.

Rotatable tine rods adjust automatically to belt travel direction, resolving directional asymmetry and reducing crop loss in side-delivery hay rakes.

Fan wheels with spoiler panels direct airflow to lift hay, preventing ground damage from traditional tines.

A towable V-shaped hay rake uses a central master support plate to pivot wing assemblies for field operation.

Belt conveyors invert windrows via horizontal rotation, exposing the underside to air while preserving structural integrity.

A flax turning machine integrates a soil treatment system to apply herbicides before spreading stems.
