Abstract

A method for learning a route of an autonomously driving agricultural robot involves providing an environmental map, driving along a route in the region of the environmental map from a starting point to an end point by manually controlling the driving robot, locating the driving robot while driving along the route with the aid of a sensor arranged on the driving robot, and recording coordinates of waypoints along the route based on the locating process that has been carried out. The route is validated by autonomously driving along the route taking the stored coordinates of the waypoints into account, wherein the route is manually confirmed and then the confirmed route is marked as being able to be driven along autonomously.

Abstract

A method for monitoring a drum of a centrifugal separator for leakage involves providing the centrifugal separator comprising an emptied drum and providing a value for a reference volume of the drum. A measuring device measures an inflowing volume until the reference volume of the drum is reached. A pressure sensor in the outlet for a phase measures a pressure. A temporal sequence of the measured values of the pressure after the reference volume has been reached is evaluated to determine a pressure rise. If the determined pressure rise occurs outside of a time interval after the reference volume has been reached, a signal is output.

Abstract

A self-emptying separator has a rotatable drum, an suspension inlet, a liquid phase outlet, and solids-discharging openings to which an emptying system with a piston slide valve is assigned. The emptying system has a control fluid system assigned to the piston slide valve controlling its opening and closing movements. St least fluid for activating closing movements of the piston slide valve can be directed in a closed conduit system as far as a closing chamber. To supply the closing chamber with the fluid for activating closing movements of the piston slide valve, a pressure vessel is provided upstream of the closing fluid valve and which can be acted upon and can be preloaded with a defined pressure via an additional valve. The control device also determines a drop in pressure in the pressure vessel when the solids-discharging openings are closed.

Abstract

A solid bowl screw centrifuge has a feed pipe with a diameter initially increasing in the axial direction towards in the direction of flow to form a first feed pipe section in which a centrifugal pre-separation of a part of the solid phase from the suspension occurs. A first portion with a higher solids content compared to the suspension is introduced by a first outlet into the centrifugal chamber in the radial direction. A second feed pipe section adjoins the first feed pipe section axially in the direction of flow, through which the remaining second portion of the suspension that is not discharged through the first outlet and has a lower solids content compared with the suspension is guided further axially through the feed pipe. The remaining second portion of the suspension is introduced into the centrifugal chamber in the radial direction via a second outlet.
