Abstract

See full text

In many applications, it is important to measure and display payload weight for a loader vehicle. The subject apparatus and method senses only the hydraulic pressure of a lift cylinder. The payload weight is computed by curve fitting the sensed cylinder pressure to a second order time dependent polynomial and comparing the time dependent polynomial to one of a series of predetermined second order geometric polynomials. The weight computation algorithms used in the payload monitor are applicable to a number of work vehicles having at least one work implement linkage and at least one hydraulic cylinder for modifying the linkage geometry.
