Control System Calibration

View page
US Patent:
50124153, Apr 30, 1991
Filed:
Jan 23, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/469655
Inventors:
Thomas E. Boe - Grundy County IA
Mark A. Bergene - Cedar Falls IA
Carl E. Kittle - Cedar Falls IA
Gregory E. Sparks - Waterloo IA
Assignee:
Deere & Company - Moline IL
International Classification:
A01B 63112
US Classification:
36442407
Abstract:
A microprocessor-based control system includes an automatic calibration and configuration feature. A calibration and configuration algorithm operates to establish the sensor ranges of all sensors installed and disables certain configurable features if the associated sensors are not present. The algorithm also provides a functional test of the control system during the calibration process.

Coupler Cover

View page
US Patent:
43298575, May 18, 1982
Filed:
May 16, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/150453
Inventors:
Carl E. Kittle - Cedar Falls IA
James L. Price - Cedar Falls IA
Assignee:
Deere & Company - Moline IL
International Classification:
F16D 384
US Classification:
220229
Abstract:
An improved coupler cover is provided for preventing foreign matter from contaminating the end surface of a female coupler. This improved coupler cover comprises two diaphragms axially aligned adjacent to each other. Each diaphragm contains a multiplicity of slits which extend outward from the center of the diaphragm to form equal size pie-shaped sections. The multiple slits of the first diaphragm are also offset in position from the multiple slits of the second disphragm. The two diaphragms are secured in a retainer which holds both of the diaphragms relative to the end surface of the coupler.

Vehicle Function Management System

View page
US Patent:
62927299, Sep 18, 2001
Filed:
Apr 14, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/291080
Inventors:
Peter Leslie Falck - Waterloo IA
Trent Lynn Goodnight - Waterloo IA
Stephen Paul Lang - New Hartford IA
Bruce Craig Newendorp - Cedar Falls IA
Michael Owen Youngblood - Cedar Falls IA
Carl Edwin Kittle - Cedar Falls IA
Assignee:
Deere & Company - Moline IL
International Classification:
G06F 770
US Classification:
701 50
Abstract:
A tractor includes various actuators or functions, such as a powershift transmission, a hitch and hitch control system, a PTO, a plurality of selective control valves, etc. , all controlled by one or more control units in response to sensed parameters and operator manipulated control devices, such as switches, knobs and levers. A function management system includes a programmed control unit which has a learn/save mode which is operable while the vehicle is moving. During the learn/save mode the operator performs a sequence of manual manipulations of the operator control devices, and the control unit records and then stores information pertaining to the sequence of operations, together with information pertaining to the distances traveled by the tractor between operations. The control unit also has an execute or replay mode, operable in response to an operator command signal, wherein the control unit automatically performs the stored sequence of operations so that the sequence of operations is performed at the same distance intervals at which they were learned, regardless of the speed of the vehicle.

Vehicle Power Steering Electro-Hydraulic Safety Backup System

View page
US Patent:
39957110, Dec 7, 1976
Filed:
Mar 18, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/668224
Inventors:
Carl Edwin Kittle - Cedar Falls IA
Gordon K. Wiegardt - Cedar Falls IA
Assignee:
Deere & Company - Moline IL
International Classification:
B62D 506
US Classification:
180133
Abstract:
Disclosed is a vehicle power steering system including an electro-hydraulic safety backup system for supplying pressurized fluid to the steering motor of the vehicle when the pressure between the main pump and the power steering system drops below a predetermined pressure level. The safety backup system includes an electrical circuit which is added on to the ignition and starting circuits of a vehicle such that the backup system will not operate in response to intermittent short duration pressure drops. The electrical circuit includes an arming feature to prevent the backup system from operating during initial start-up of the vehicle and further provides for operation of the vehicle's starting motor to have priority over the backup system operation.

Dual Mode Control Lever Assembly

View page
US Patent:
44386605, Mar 27, 1984
Filed:
Oct 2, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/307704
Inventors:
Carl E. Kittle - Cedar Falls IA
Assignee:
Deere & Company - Moline IL
International Classification:
G05G 506
US Classification:
74531
Abstract:
A control lever assembly includes a housing with a pivot member rotatably mounted therein on a pivot pin. A pair of cam members are pivotally mounted on the pivot pin adjacent opposite sides of the pivot member. One cam member is frictionally coupled to the housing. The other cam member is biased to a neutral position by a centering spring. A cross arm is movable in the pivot member to alternately couple and uncouple one or the other of the cam members from the pivot member, depending upon the energization state of a mode-select solenoid. A detent follower releasably holds the pivot member in a displaced position when in the spring-centered mode. A rotary potentiometer coupled to the pivot member generates an electrical signal representing the position of the pivot member and a lever handle attached thereto.

Control Mechanism With Adjustable Floating Cam

View page
US Patent:
43489176, Sep 14, 1982
Filed:
Sep 26, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/191643
Inventors:
Frank H. Gardner - Hudson IA
Carl E. Kittle - Cedar Falls IA
Assignee:
Deere & Company - Moline IL
International Classification:
F16H 5300
US Classification:
74568R
Abstract:
The disclosure is of a control mechanism including a rockshaft carried by a support and itself having fixed thereto an upstanding rocker element. A cam is disposed alongside the rocker element, having a lower end formed with an opening that loosely embraces the rockshaft so as to enable relative movement of the cam within at least the limits of the opening. Lost-motion means interconnects the rocker element and cam for rocking of the two in unison about the rockshaft axis while permitting the aforesaid limited movement. Adjusting means is provided between the cam and rocker element for achieving adjustment of the cam relative to the rocker element while retaining the floatability or relative movement of the cam.

Multiple Mode Control Lever Assembly

View page
US Patent:
44400403, Apr 3, 1984
Filed:
Dec 23, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/333602
Inventors:
Carl E. Kittle - Cedar Falls IA
James E. Roach - Cedar Falls IA
Assignee:
Deere & Company - Moline IL
International Classification:
G05G 506
US Classification:
74527
Abstract:
A multiple mode single lever control lever assembly includes a lever fixed for pivotal movement with a pivot member rotatably mounted in a housing. The pivot member includes detent recesses, a centering, spring-engaging tab and a friction disk-engaging finger. An arm is slidable in a bore in the housing, is biased towards the pivot member and carries a detent follower and a centering spring-engaging tab. A rotatable index member includes cam surfaces which cooperate with corresponding cam surfaces on the housing so that the index member moves axially to frictionally engage clutch disks with the friction disks upon rotation of the index member while a ramp surface on the index member engages the arm to uncouple the arm from the centering spring and to uncouple the detent follower from the pivot member.

Wheel Tread Adjusting Device

View page
US Patent:
50059130, Apr 9, 1991
Filed:
Oct 3, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/416741
Inventors:
Carl E. Kittle - Cedar Falls IA
Dennis L. Paxton - Cedar Falls IA
Abraham Camacho - Gilbertville IA
Assignee:
Deere & Company - Moline IL
International Classification:
B60B 3500
B60B 2706
US Classification:
301128
Abstract:
A wheel tread adjusting device has a flat plate provided with a plurality of holes. Two of the holes align with the jack screw bores normally present in a tapered sleeve-type hub to mount the plate to the tapered sleeve. A cut-out bore allows the plate to rest flush against the tapered sleeve without interfering with the normally present lug bolts. Two additional bores are positioned radially outside of the tapered sleeve and hold jack screws to unwedge the tapered sleeve from the hub. An adjustment rod is selectively engageable with either of two adjustment bores in the plate. Another portion of the rod can be threaded through a bracket mounted to the end of the axle, or through a lug bolt bore in the hub of an outer wheel, if dual wheels are present. The structure is extremely simple, uses the normally present bores to the maximum extent, and is made predominantly of standard available parts.
