Method And System For Automatically Steering Along Row Crops

View page
US Patent:
50107194, Apr 30, 1991
Filed:
May 19, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/354346
Inventors:
Scott A. Korthuis - Lynden WA
Assignee:
Korvan Industries, Inc. - Lynden WA
International Classification:
B62D 506
US Classification:
56 102
Abstract:
A crop tending machine and method to automatically steer a harvesting machine and provide warning to the operator when there is a gap sensed in a crop row. The machine comprises a chassis that moves along a crop row axis, a location sensing member, a steerable wheel, and a control mechanism. The sensing member senses a distance of the machine from the axis. The steerable wheel has first and second predetermined angular positions that are angularly displaced by predetermined amounts from a straight ahead steering position. The control mechanism responds to the sensing member in a manner to move the steerable wheel to the first predetermined angular position when the machine is misaligned to a second side and to maintain the steerable wheel in the first position until the machine is more toward the first side at which time the control mechanism moves the steerable wheel to the second predetermined angular position and maintains the steerable wheel in the second position until the machine is more toward the second side. For safety, the machine is shut down when sensing of the row discontinues for a predetermined length of time. The method provides the chassis, the sensing member, the steerable wheel, and the control means, and provides for turning the control means to the first and second positions.

Apparatus And Method For Adjusting A Harvester To An Oblique Profile Of Cane Type Berry Plants

View page
US Patent:
49744046, Dec 4, 1990
Filed:
May 23, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/355637
Inventors:
Donald L. Korthuis - Lynden WA
Scott A. Korthuis - Lynden WA
International Classification:
A01D 4628
US Classification:
56330
Abstract:
An agricultural harvester for rowed crops, such as berry bushes, includes a wheeled chassis having an enclosure formed by a pair of upstanding fore and aft extending sidewalls. The harvester is driven in a manner that the berry bushes enter the front of the enclosure and exit from the rear. A stabilizing and displacing assembly is located toward the front of the enclosure to dislodge the fruit from the bushes when the bushes are within the enclosure, and to minimize any dislodging of fruit forward or rearward of the enclosure. The fruit is dislodged by a side-to-side transverse movement of the bush which is caused by a set of middle displacing rods. The bush is stabilized by forward and rearward stabilizing rods which act in opposition to the middle displacing rods. Such rods are independently adjustable at upper and lower ends thereof toward and away from the bushes.

Counterweight Method And System For A Beater Rod Of A Harvester

View page
US Patent:
49825585, Jan 8, 1991
Filed:
Sep 29, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/414908
Inventors:
Scott A. Korthuis - Lynden WA
Assignee:
Korvan Industries - Lynden WA
International Classification:
A01D 4626
US Classification:
56 126
Abstract:
A drive system to move a moveable beater assembly of a harvesting machine in a back and forth movement comprises a housing, a drive, and a drive compensating component. The drive drives the beater assembly in a back and forth movement so that a beater assembly force is exerted on the housing, this force being directed along an alignment axis. The drive compensating component comprises first and second eccentrically revolving weights mounted to the housing for rotation. It further comprises a drive transmission to rotate the first and second weights to produce a net compensating force that is colinear with the alignment axis. In a timed relationship with the back and forth movement of the beater assembly, the net compenating force opposes colinearly the beater assembly force, whereby an equilibrium of the housing is able to be maintained.

Crop Harvester Aggregating Apparatus

View page
US Patent:
49726625, Nov 27, 1990
Filed:
May 23, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/355638
Inventors:
Donald L. Korthuis - Lynden WA
Scott A. Korthuis - Lynden WA
International Classification:
A01D 4626
US Classification:
56 102
Abstract:
A system carried in a harvesting machine and adapted to align crops in a row so as to enhance harvesting, comprises a crop aggregating means which aggregates the crops by bringing first and second crop engaging means into engagement with right and left sides of the crops as the crops pass rearwardly. The system further comprises a locomotion means, which provides the main locomotion for the harvesting machine, an aggregating drive means to drive the crop engaging means rearwardly and a control means, connected together in a fluid circuit. The control means comprises a pressure differential valve, and first and second sensors. The pressure sensors are adapted to sense first and second fluid pressures, respectively, at first and second sides of the aggregating drive means and to actuate the pressure differential valve. The pressure differential valve relieves pressure in the fluid circuit when there is a pre-determined pressure difference between the first and second fluid pressures. In a second embodiment the locomotion means is separated from the fluid circuit that provides motive force to the aggregating means.

Crop Beater Method And Apparatus

View page
US Patent:
50275933, Jul 2, 1991
Filed:
Dec 22, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/455276
Inventors:
Scott Korthuis - Lynden WA
Donald L. Korthuis - Lynden WA
Assignee:
Korvan Industries, Inc. - Lynden WA
International Classification:
A01D 4626
US Classification:
563281
Abstract:
An apparatus for harvesting produce from row crops, a pair of beater rods for use in said apparatus, and methods related to the apparatus, wherein the apparatus comprises a chassis which travels along the row of crops, and a harvesting unit, which is carried by the chassis and which comprises: A means for engaging and depressing an upper side and a means for engaging and raising a lower side of various portions of the crops, with the side engaging means defining a crop receiving area therebetween and with the crop portions entering into the crop receiving area and being raised and depressed; a means operatively connected to the side engaging means for imparting first and second vertical components of oscillation to the depressing and raising of the crop portions; with the apparatus being characterized in that a central zone of the second component (said second component comprising a lower zone, said central zone, and an upper zone) is oscillated up and down about a fixed horizontal axis. The side engaging means comprises a pair of beater rods, which have upper and lower portions each and which comprise an upper rod and a lower rod which receive the crops therebetween, with the pair of rods performing a rotational-lateral motion into and out of the plant as the harvesting unit moves forwardly along the crop row, so that the pair imparts a primary up and down motion to the crop while the entire harvesting unit is shaken up and down with the secondary oscillating motion.

Berry Harvester

US Patent:
20190281764, Sep 19, 2019
Filed:
Jun 11, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/005393
Inventors:
- Byron NY, US
Scott KORTHUIS - Lynden WA, US
Michael TERBEEK - Lynden WA, US
Matthew KORTHUIS - Lynden WA, US
International Classification:
A01D 46/26
Abstract:
A berry harvester provides flexible cushioned elements and surfaces to limit bruising of the fruit harvested. A chassis defines a picking tunnel that passes over rows of plants. A picking system removes fruit from the plants as the harvester moves along the rows. A catching system configured to receive fruit removed from the plants. The catching system includes resilient catch assemblies on each side of the picking tunnel, each of the catch assemblies at least partially overlapping adjacent catch assemblies. Each of the catch assemblies has an upper surface oriented orthogonally to horizontal and flex upon impact by falling fruit.
