Abstract

See full text

A dynamic payload monitor measures and displays payload weight for a loader vehicle by sensing the hydraulic pressure of a lift arm cylinder. The payload weight is computed by curve fitting the second cylinder pressure to a second order polynomial, calculating a pressure differential, and then performing interpolation or extrapolation with a pair of pressure versus position or time reference parabolas obtained during calibration. The weight computation algorithms used in the dynamic 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.
