Work Vehicle Parameter Synchronization for Coordinated Automatic Travel
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing work vehicle coordination systems face challenges in maintaining consistent traveling work parameters across multiple vehicles, leading to inefficient and troublesome manual adjustments, especially during automatic traveling, due to differences in vehicle specifications and implement settings.
Innovation Solution
A work vehicle coordination system that acquires and compares traveling work parameters across vehicles, generates difference data, and uses conforming data to automatically correct parameters, ensuring consistency and alleviating the burden on operators by allowing self-correction and individual adjustments based on unique specifications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual checking and adjustment of traveling work parameters is performed for all work vehicles before automatic traveling, then consistent work results can be obtained, but the operation becomes troublesome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
Each work vehicle is equipped with a parameter correction section that automatically detects and corrects its own traveling work parameters by comparing them with the master work vehicle's parameters, eliminating the need for manual checking and adjustment by operators
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback mechanism where traveling work parameters are continuously monitored and compared between master and slave work vehicles, and automatic corrections are applied based on the detected differences, ensuring consistency without manual intervention
2Adaptability or versatility
If traveling work parameters are individually set for each work vehicle to account for specification differences, then vehicle-specific requirements are met, but parameter consistency across the fleet deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows each work vehicle to have its own parameter settings tailored to its specific specifications, while simultaneously enabling automatic comparison and correction mechanisms that ensure these individualized parameters remain consistent with the master vehicle's parameters through localized adjustments
3Productivity
If traveling work parameters are automatically adjusted during coordinated work, then operational efficiency is improved, but parameter consistency may be compromised without proper coordination
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements continuous feedback loops where traveling work parameters are monitored in real-time, compared across the work vehicle fleet, and automatically adjusted to maintain consistency while enabling efficient automated operations
Solution Approach 2:
The parameter correction mechanism serves multiple functions simultaneously: it maintains parameter consistency across different vehicle specifications, enables automatic operation without manual intervention, and adapts to various work conditions, making the system universally applicable to different coordinated work scenarios
