A work vehicle

Abstract

A work vehicle includes a chassis, a plurality of movable members coupled to the chassis, and actuator means configured to move at least one of the movable members. The work vehicle further includes determination means configured to determine one or more operative parameters indicative of an operation of the actuator means, a control unit configured to acquire the determined operative parameters and to carry out an association of the operative parameters to one or more control parameters for affecting promptness of the actuator means, reporting means configured to provide information concerning the control parameters, and command means enabling the driver to send one or more input signals to the control unit. The control unit is further configured to carry out an adjustment of the promptness of the actuator means based on receipt or not receipt of an input signal by the control unit.

         11 . A work vehicle, comprising:
 a chassis;   a plurality of movable members coupled to the chassis such that the plurality of movable members are movable relative to the chassis;   actuator means configured to move at least one of the movable members;   determination means configured to determine one or more operative parameters indicative of an operation of the actuator means;   a control unit configured to:
 acquire the determined operative parameters from the determination means; 
 output command signals for controlling the actuator means; and 
 carry out an association, according to a mathematical model, of said operative parameters to one or more control parameters suitable for affecting promptness of the actuator means in response to the command signals of the control unit; 
   reporting means configured to provide a driver of the work vehicle with information related to the control parameters resulted from said association; and   command means being operable by the driver to send one or more input signals to the control unit,   wherein, according to a first control mode, the control unit is further configured to verify if a first specific condition is satisfied and to carry out or to carry out and then hold an adjustment of the promptness of the actuator means according to the control parameters resulted from said association, only if said first specific condition is verified to be satisfied,   wherein said first specific condition is defined by only one between a first alternative condition, according to which a first input signal of said input signals is received by the control unit, or a second alternative condition, according to which a second input signal of said input signals is not received by the control unit.   
     
     
         12 . The work vehicle of  claim 11 , further comprising a mode selector being operable by the driver to set one of a plurality of control modes according to which the control unit controls the actuator means, the control modes including the first control mode and a second control mode or a third control mode,
 wherein, according to the second control mode, the control unit is configured to verify if a second specific condition is satisfied and to carry out or to carry out and then hold the adjustment of the promptness of the actuator means according to the control parameters resulted from said association, only if said second specific condition is verified to be satisfied, the second specific condition being defined by the other one between the first and the second alternative condition,   wherein, according to the third control mode, the control unit is configured to carry out the adjustment of the promptness of the actuator means according to the control parameters resulted from said association without verifying satisfaction of the first specific condition.   
     
     
         13 . The work vehicle of  claim 12 , wherein the control modes include both the second and the third control mode. 
     
     
         14 . The work vehicle of  claim 11 , wherein the control unit is configured to learn the mathematical model from the determined operative parameter by means of a machine learning algorithm. 
     
     
         15 . The work vehicle of  claim 11 , wherein the control unit is configured to control the actuator means according to a control law, the control parameters being adjustable parameters of the control law. 
     
     
         16 . The work vehicle of  claim 11 , wherein the operative parameters comprise respective quantities, each indicative of a motion of at least one of the movable members. 
     
     
         17 . The work vehicle of  claim 11 , further comprising a mechanism, which comprises one or more of the movable members including at least one pivotal arm, wherein the actuator means comprise a first actuator device configured to drive the pivotal arm. 
     
     
         18 . The work vehicle of  claim 17 , wherein the movable members of the mechanism further include a tool coupled to the pivotal arm in an orientable manner with respect to the pivotal arm, wherein the actuator means further comprise a second actuator device configured to adjust an orientation of the tool with respect to the pivotal arm. 
     
     
         19 . The work vehicle of  claim 11 , wherein the movable members comprise at least one propulsion element for operating in contact with soil to allow advancing of the work vehicle, wherein the actuator means comprises a hydrostatic transmission configured to drive the propulsion element. 
     
     
         20 . The work vehicle of  claim 11 , wherein the movable members comprise a hitch for the attachment of an implement to the work vehicle, wherein the actuator means further comprise a third actuator device configured to raise and lower the hitch.
