System and method for reversing the movement of a vehicle, in particular for an agricultural tractor
First Claim
1. System for reversing the movement of a vehicle, in particular for an agricultural tractor, comprising:
- an electro-hydraulic reverser including a hydraulic clutch and a valve assembly able to activate the clutch in conditions of forward travel or of rearward travel and able to modulate the engagement of the clutch, a control member which can be operated by the driver to select an operative condition of the reverser selected among;
neutral, forward travel, and rearward travel, an electronic control unit adapted to receive a first signal indicating the position of said control member, a second signal indicating the operative state of a braking system of the vehicle, and a third signal indicating the speed of the vehicle, the electronic control unit being adapted to control said valve assembly according to said first, second and third signal.

4. Method for controlling an electro-hydraulic reverser of a vehicle including a hydraulic clutch and a valve assembly to set the clutch in neutral, forward travel or rearward travel condition and to modulate the engagement of the clutch, comprising the steps of:
-
sensing the position of a control member which can be operated by the driver, indicating an operative condition of the reverser selected among;
neutral, forward travel, rearward travel,sensing the operative state of the braking system of the vehicle, measuring the speed of movement of the vehicle, and commanding the operative state of the electro-hydraulic reverser according to the sensed conditions. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)
