METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING AND EVALUATION OF PARAMETERS OF MOBILE UNIT Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: agriculture. SUBSTANCE: method involves delivering data in the form of product of force and time; evaluating on the basis of this data operation of unit members in power source and consumer modes; converting power source into consumer, when loading is changed, and regulating draft range by suspender; accumulating and converting energy in suspender by hydraulic coupling; converting accumulated energy into mechanical energy during starting of unit by changing hydraulic coupling over to hydraulic starter mode; joining and coordinating control circuits, data, loading, protection and correction lines. Hydraulic coupling is connected with power sources and consumers and may operate in hydraulic starter mode. Method allows transmission of forces to be effectuated at minimum power takeoff and zero flow of liquid and power consumption for cybernetic work to be minimized. A number of intellectual functions of operators are effectuated by technical means. Weight of unit is used as power source for starting and controlling of unit operation. EFFECT: increased efficiency by increased mutual perceptivity of members of apparatus, reduced power and material consumption, complex robotization of unit and increased draft range. 4 cl, 3 dwg
