An electronic controller with a sensed ground speed input calculates appropriate cotton harvester row unit speed based on harvester ground speed and a preset ground speed versus a unit speed curve. The controller includes an automatic or manual ratio adjustment input. The ratio adjustment input allows the unit speed to be increased or decreased from the preset speed. The controller reads row unit speed via unit speed sensors and sends a signal to the unit speed actuator or electronic drive control (EDC) on a hydro, variable sheave, or other variable drive device to adjust unit speed to the calculated value. A detector or field vision device such as a camera responsive to cotton on the plants provides a signal to the automatic ratio adjustment input to change the ratio for increased productivity and reduced machine wear.

A cotton harvester includes plant cutting apparatus to sever cotton plants from a ground surface, plant conveyor apparatus to convey the severed plants into and through a picking chamber, and cotton picking apparatus including picker spindles that move upwardly into the picking chamber through a floor of the chamber to pick cotton filaments from bolls of the plants conveyed as a flattened mat therethrough and carry the cotton downwardly through the floor to doffers that remove the cotton from the spindles. Cotton conveyor apparatus also below the floor conveys the cotton to a receiver, while the plant residue passes from the chamber.

The present invention provides a method for controlling the delivery route of goods-to-person workstations based on multi-storey bin storage, which has such features, including the following steps: the order control system receives the general bill of lading issued by the warehouse management system, and according to the delivery According to the coincidence degree of materials in the general bill of lading, the general bill of lading is bound to the corresponding goods-to-person workbench and the corresponding binding information of the general bill of lading is generated; the order control system, according to the material requirements in the general bill of lading, Match the inventory of the multi-layer material box storage warehouse, and generate or change the handling tasks for the inventory boxes on the conveyor line, generate inventory box removal tasks for the inventory boxes in the multi-layer material box storage warehouse, and then generate picking task information; The inventory boxes in the layer box storage warehouse and the inventory boxes on the conveyor line are received and moved to the corresponding goods-to-person workbench according to the binding information of the general bill of lading and the picking task information. Among them, the order control system and the inventory box Information transmission is realized through the conveyor line control system.
