Abstract

An agricultural working machine has at least one working unit and a display device for displaying or adjusting parameters of the working machine the at least one working unit of both. The display device has a display unit with jointly depictable display elements for visualization of parameter-based values, the display elements preferably arranged concentrically in a form of circular-ring sections. The display device also includes at least one bar display that at least partially encircles the display elements radially on the outer side. Indicator element for displaying a defined value are disposed on the at least one bar display.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An agricultural working machine, comprising:
at least one working unit; and
a display device for displaying parameters, adjusting parameters or both of the working machine, of the at least one working unit or both;
wherein the display device comprises at least one display unit for visualization of parameter-based values, the display unit having concentrically arranged display elements formed as circular ring sections and at least one bar display;
wherein the at least one bar display at least partially encircles the display elements radially on the outer side;
wherein at least one indicator element for displaying a defined value is disposed on the bar display and represents a parameter, a working unit or both that limits a size of a value underlying the bar display;
wherein a display area of one of the display elements comprises a plurality of subsections to which different parameters are assigned;
wherein the subsections represent a loss display and a tailings display;
wherein the loss display presents a loss of a cleaning mechanism a loss of a separating device and a sum of the subsections in a radial direction corresponding to a total loss of the agricultural working machine; and
wherein the tailings display presents a total volumetric flow rate of tailings, a grain volumetric flow rate as grain tailings and an area ratio of the total volumetric flow rate of the tailings to the grain volumetric flow rate corresponds to a relative ratio of a total volumetric flow rate of the tailings to the grain tailings of the agricultural working machine.

2. The agricultural working machine claim 1 , wherein a size of a display area of one of the display elements is dynamically adaptable to a value of at least one parameter assigned to the one of the display elements.

3. The agricultural working machine according to claim 1 , wherein a minimum value of a display element, a maximum value of a display element or both is displayed.

4. The agricultural working machine according to claim 1 , wherein the display unit comprises a central display disposed concentrically radially within the display elements.

5. The agricultural working machine according to claim 1 , wherein at least one pictogram is assigned to each of the display elements, indicator elements or both.

6. The agricultural working machine according to claim 5 , wherein on of the at least one parameter, at least one working unit or both that are assigned to the display elements, indicator elements, pictograms or a combination therefore are manually or automatically adjusted by selecting an assigned display element, indicator element, pictogram or combination thereof.

7. The agricultural working machine according to claim 4 , wherein the central display visualizes a maximum performance of the agricultural working machine defined by a crop output in tons/hectare, a relative utilization of the agricultural working machine in percent or both.

8. The agricultural working machine according to claim 1 , wherein a position of the at least one indicator element corresponds to a maximum performance of visualized parameter, a working unit or both.

9. The agricultural working machine according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one display unit can be changed, expanded or both.

10. The agricultural working machine according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one display unit comprises a main area for display of the display elements, the bar display, the central display or a combination thereof.

11. The agricultural working machine according to claim 1 , further comprising a control/regulating unit, a driver assistance system or both connected to the display device.
