20130019765 | In-Line Bale Eject System - An ejector system for ejecting bales from a bale-forming chamber of an agricultural baler comprises a first and second shuttle assembly. The first shuttle assembly reciprocates when being driven. The first shuttle assembly is adapted for establishing mechanical contact with the second shuttle assembly and for driving the second shuttle assembly during movements of the first shuttle assembly in a reverse direction substantially opposite to the forward direction of the bales in the bale-forming chamber, thus synchronizing reverse movement of both shuttle assemblies. | 01-24-2013 |
20140041536 | Agricultural Square Baler - An agricultural baler comprising a controller, sensor and an actuator connected such that in a first position of a bale chute upon sensing of the movement of a completed bale ready to be lowered by the sensor a signal indicative of said movement is fed to the controller by the sensor upon which the controller controls an actuator such that the bale chute is pivoted to the second position which is sufficiently inclined to the horizontal such that the trailing end is sufficiently lowered to prevent a completed bale from toppling or being damaged, wherein the controller is configured to control the actuator such that the bale chute is pivoted from the first position to the second position after receiving the signal indicative of movement from the sensor. | 02-13-2014 |
20140196615 | Square Baler With Improved Airflow Past The Knotters - At least part of the side of the crossbeam facing the knotter is inclined at an angle of more than ninety degrees to the upper wall of the baling chamber in order to permit a smooth flow of air from the fan past the knotter. | 07-17-2014 |
20150173300 | Agricultural Square Baler - An agricultural square baler comprising a baling chamber, for compressing crop by a plunger, and a plunger drive connected to the plunger provided to drive the plunger. At least one connecting rod longitudinally delimited by a first and a second end is provided to transfer the rotational movement of the plunger drive into the linear reciprocal movement of the plunger. Each of the ends of the connecting rod having a first surface. An attachment connects a constraining element with the connecting rod at an attachment location away from the first surface of the connecting rod. | 06-25-2015 |
20150208585 | AGRICULTURAL BALER WITH A PLUNGER SLOT BELT - An agricultural baler comprising a main bale chamber having a pair of opposed side walls, with each side wall having a plunger slot arrangement defining a plunger slot. Each plunger slot has opposite ends and is open at an inside adjacent to a plunger. A pair of rotating elements are positioned within each plunger slot, with each rotating element being located at a corresponding end of a respective plunger slot. A pair of plunger slot belts are each positioned in association with a respective plunger slot and partially wrap a respective pair of rotating elements associated with each plunger slot. | 07-30-2015 |
20150272006 | DENSITY CONTROL SYSTEM - Density control system for an agricultural baler having a baling chamber including a plurality of walls with at least one movable wall section, an intake duct leading into the baling chamber, and a plunger for compressing charges of crop material to a package in the chamber, an actuator for adjusting the position of the at least one movable wall section in response to an output of the density control system to vary the density of said package, wherein the density control system has a sensor for measuring the position of the at least one movable wall section, a comparator for comparing said position with a threshold position and a decision module configured to stop the movement of the actuator means when the position exceeds the threshold position. | 10-01-2015 |
20150272011 | Knotter System for a Baler - Knotter system comprising a bill hook, a twine receiver, a cutting arm and drive components and/or means. | 10-01-2015 |
20160000011 | PLUNGER SLOT COVER ASSEMBLY FOR AN AGRICULTURAL BALER - An agricultural baler includes a main bale chamber having a pair of opposed side walls, with each said side wall including a plunger slot arrangement defining a plunger slot. A pair of plunger slot rails are positioned in each plunger slot, including a top rail positioned at a top of a respective plunger slot and a bottom rail positioned at a bottom of a respective plunger slot. A plunger is reciprocally disposed within the main bale chamber. The plunger includes a pair of opposed sides and at least one roller extending laterally outward from each side, with each roller being positioned within a respective plunger slot. The baler is characterized by a pair of plunger slot cover assemblies, with each cover assembly being associated with a respective plunger slot and having an upper cover and a lower cover. | 01-07-2016 |
20160000012 | Agricultural Baler With Flywheel Brake Control - An agricultural baler has a shaft, a flywheel connected to the shaft, a plunger connected to the flywheel via a crank, a brake system adapted for providing a brake force for decelerating the flywheel, at least one sensor for providing sensor data indicative for at least one moving part of the baler, and a brake control system comprising a processing system, e.g. a processor provided with an algorithm for stopping the crank in a predefined launch position range, based on a mathematical model. | 01-07-2016 |
20160000016 | Agricultural Baler With Improved Flywheel Brake - An agricultural baler has a shaft, and a flywheel connected to the shaft, and a brake system for holding or for stopping the flywheel. The brake system may be of at least one of the drum-type and of the caliper-type. The caliper-type has a brake disc and a brake caliper. The brake disc may be mounted on the flywheel, or on the shaft. The brake system may have an adjustable braking force. The disc brake may be manually or hydraulically activated. The brake system may be remotely activated from a tractor. | 01-07-2016 |
