Dynamic, Continuous, and Center of Gravity Independent Weighing with a Loader

Zusammenfassung / Abstract

This thesis deals with the development of a mobile tractor front loader scale which measures payload continuously and independent of the center of gravity of the payload, flexible for every attached tool, and unaffected by the position and movements of the loader. To achieve this, a common front loader is mathematically modelled. By measuring the accelerations as well as the cylinder forces, the payload is determined continuously during the working process. The mathematic model is simplified which makes it possible to identify its parameters by a repeatable and automatic procedure. Finally, a prototype was build and the scale was tested on a tractor.
