View page
US Patent:
20130074486, Mar 28, 2013
Filed:
Sep 22, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/240789
Inventors:
Erik W. McWethy - Dubuque IA, US
Mark D. Anderson - Dubuque IA, US
International Classification:
F15B 13/00
F15B 11/08
US Classification:
60428
Abstract:
A work vehicle has a pump group with two fixed-displacement pumps, an electro-hydraulic diverter openable to divert flow from one of the pumps to a fluid reservoir, and a controller configured to command the diverter to open.

Magnetorheological Fluid Joystick Systems Providing Detent-Triggered Work Vehicle Functions

US Patent:
20210341033, Nov 4, 2021
Filed:
Jul 7, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/922321
Inventors:
- Moline IL, US
Amy K. Jones - Asbury IA, US
Madeline T. Oglesby - Asbury IA, US
Erik W. McWethy - Asbury IA, US
International Classification:
F16F 9/53
G06F 3/01
G05G 5/03
G05G 9/047
Abstract:
Embodiments of a work vehicle magnetorheological fluid (MRF) joystick system includes a joystick device having a base housing, a joystick movably mounted to the base housing, and a joystick position sensor monitoring movement of the joystick relative to the base housing. An MRF joystick resistance mechanism is controllable to vary a joystick stiffness resisting movement of the joystick relative to the base housing in at least one degree of freedom. A controller architecture is coupled to the joystick position sensor and to the MRF joystick resistance mechanism. The controller architecture is configured to: (i) command the MRF joystick resistance mechanism to increase the joystick stiffness when the joystick is moved into a first predetermined detent position to generate a first MRF detent; and (ii) selectively activate a first detent-triggered function of the work vehicle based, at least in part, on joystick movement relative to the first MRF detent.

Excavator Control For Load Delivery

View page
US Patent:
20190323207, Oct 24, 2019
Filed:
Apr 18, 2018
Appl. No.:
15/956286
Inventors:
- Moline IL, US
Kristen Dawn Cadman - Dubuque IA, US
Erik W. McWethy - Asbury IA, US
Jaccob Bruce Eichinger - Kaukauna WI, US
International Classification:
E02F 9/26
E02F 9/22
E02F 9/20
Abstract:
An engine on an excavator provides power to a hydraulic pump that pumps hydraulic fluid under pressure to a hydraulic actuator. The hydraulic actuator is controlled to place a load on the engine. Engine response to the load placed on it by the hydraulic actuator is detected and logged. The logged engine response data can be accessed to identify engine response.

US Patent:
20140193230, Jul 10, 2014
Filed:
Mar 11, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/793795
Inventors:
- Moline IL, US
Erik W. McWethy - Dubuque IA, US
Assignee:
DEERE & COMPANY - Moline IL
International Classification:
E02F 3/43
E02F 3/42
US Classification:
414680, 414815
Abstract:
A work vehicle including a hydraulic circuit having a cooled return line with a cooler, a bypass return line that bypasses the cooler on the cooled return line, and a controller that electronically controls the flow of hydraulic fluid between the cooled return line and the bypass return line.
